Although Sun Lin kept saying that he was going to the Western Continent, it was obvious that he was not in a hurry to go so soon. When Zalaku and his army of 25,000 people led by the sun never set led countless materials to the mysterious beach on the transport fleet of the Northwest Fleet, when Leo took Sun Lin's handwritten documents to the city of hope outside Nottingham, which was established by the Egyptians and Turks of the original world under the leadership of the city lord Saladin, Sun Lin returned to his palace again, and returned to the life of the previous months.

It's not that Sun Lin is lazy, but because there is a major event on New Delhi Island that Sun Lin needs to witness in person - when the time comes to the middle of August of the 6th year of the new calendar, in the Quartermaster Department of the Great Empire, Sun Lin, who was wearing white linen, suddenly led a hundred half-orc royal guards in his hands to the No. 17 workshop of the quartermaster department under the suspicious eyes of many craftsmen who never set, and under Sun Lin's signal, a hundred half-orc warriors quickly surrounded the No. 17 workshop, and cooperated with the guards of the imperial city who came later to drain the water of the siege. At the same time, Sun Lin was also led by several sloppy-looking craftsmen who never set the sun, and two master craftsmen with excited faces, into the No. 17 workshop and went straight to the projectile field in the workshop where the No. 3 trebuchet model was originally developed.

The so-called projectile field is just a relatively empty ground, if Sun Lin came here this time to test the new model of war machinery, then it is so solemn and serious. But the problem is that after Sun Lin came, there were only two Sunset craftsmen in leather armor who appeared in front of them, oh, and there was a burning barrel in the distance that was almost identical to the one equipped with when the Sunset army was still using heavy torsion trebuchets on the original Sunset battlefield, except that this one was much larger than the original burning barrels that had long been eliminated, except for a red and yellow mark on the front of the barrel, and a white hemp rope spreading out several meters long around it.

"This is the first batch of experiments you made?" Looking at the huge wooden barrel in front of him, Sun Lin suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked a few Mo forging craftsmen beside him in a relatively flat tone as much as possible, and as soon as Sun Lin's words fell, one of the two Mo forging craftsmen couldn't help but jump out, and replied excitedly to Sun Lin with a fanatical face: "Yes, Sun Lin, what appeared in this wooden barrel in front of you is the people of the Raven Alliance, after giving us the secret recipe hidden deep in the dwarves of the mountain hills, which belong to the same dwarf race as usThe first products developed, this guy may not be able to compare in all respects with the dwarves of the hills today, but we promise you, just give us another three years, no! In just two years, I will be able to combine this guy with the weapon you have envisioned to create the product that represents the highest crystallization of war technology in our empire! ”

"The fact that you were able to produce this thing in such a short period of time is a testament to the strength of your masters, so don't let me down next, everyone, let's start testing now, let me feel how terrifying this guy's power is!" At Sun Lin's signal, one of the two Sunset Craftsmen standing in front of Sun Lin took a torch from behind his back and lit it with the help of another companion.

After a trot arrived at the giant wooden barrel more than 300 meters away from Sun Lin, the two careful sunset craftsmen searched, and they quickly found the white linen rope rope head on the surface more than 3 meters away from the giant wooden barrel, after the two sunset craftsmen exchanged eye contact with each other for a while, the sunset craftsman holding the torch quickly lit the flax rope head with the torch in his hand, and then the two ran out desperately like a giant beast behind them, At this time, Sun Lin immediately held the wooden telescope in his hand in front of his left eye pupil, and observed the changes in the giant wooden barrel through his right eye.

At this time, Sun Lin felt as uncomfortable as living as a year, but the flax rope that was ignited by the two craftsmen who had run to the giant wooden barrel 100 meters away did not make Sun Lin wait for a long time, just in an earth-shattering roar, Sun Lin only felt that the telescope lens in his hand lit up, and then an orange-red pillar of fire appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but in the next second, the black smoke shrouded the area more than 10 meters away from the original giant wooden barrel.

"Yay!" Although everyone's ears were more or less in a state of tinnitus, Sun Lin reacted 5 seconds after the black smoke appeared at the end of the explosion, and began to cheer inattentively under the gaze of everyone around, because the previous explosion represented that the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets had finally taken the first and most important step from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons - black powder was invented!

Of course, it is more accurate to say that black powder powder was invented. After all, the system that Sun Lin has is not a fork, and all techniques such as steelmaking are all developed by the craftsmen of the great empire on which the sun never sets, day and night. This is the real world realm, not the kind of game where you can mass-produce black powder fixed guns by building an artillery siege, and not like in the game, where you can build a forbidden army camp to produce teams of smoothbore guns.

But in any case, black powder has appeared after all, maybe in the next few years, the sun never sets the army will not be able to use high-end artillery such as 6-pounder cavalry guns, 12-pounder infantry artillery, 24-pounder howitzers, and it is impossible to popularize all kinds of firearms such as Mauser rifles and flintlock rifles into the army as in the 16th and 17th centuries, but at least the emergence of black powder will turn these things that were impossible for Sun Lin before into a matter of time.

When the cheers passed, Sun Lin gradually recovered from the tinnitus, but the first thing he did after he recovered was not to praise and reward the craftsmen who never set the sun beside him, but to tell them in a very serious tone that they must keep the ** and the production method to the death, and even the news that the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has black powder must be kept, at least until the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets can produce black powder cannons, after all, the lesson of the previous Quartermaster Department is still deeply engraved in Sun Lin's heart until now.
