Fight,Primitive Man

Chu Dong thought about the appearance of natural saltpeter in his memory, and then described it.

"Generally speaking, the surface of saltpeter is white, with granular crystals on it, which will give off a light glass luster. Sometimes, because of the associated minerals, it will show gray, yellow, dark red and other colors. When it volatilizes and burns, it will give off a pungent smell, which is hard to forget as long as you smell it."

Chu Dong originally wanted to describe the taste of saltpeter, which should be the taste of gunpowder, but he knew that the rock master could not understand it, so he could only use the pungent word instead.

After listening to Chu Dong's detailed introduction, the rock master pondered silently.

Just at this time, an apprentice who came to pour water for Yanshi and Chudong's tea changed his expression and seemed to have something to say. However, because of Yanshi's severity and Chudong's prestige, the apprentice wanted to say nothing.

What is Chu Dong's vision? The apprentice was found to be different.

"What's your name?"

Chudong asked the apprentice kindly.

The apprentice was about 15 or 16 years old. He was shorter and thinner than the average barbarian. Maybe it was this relationship that led him to become an apprentice instead of trying to become a candidate for barbarian soldiers.

Hear Chu Dong ask oneself words, the appearance slants delicate this apprentice hastily to Chu Dong salute.

"If I go back to the chieftain, I don't have a name."

Chu Dong "Oh" a, just thought of the tribal name rules.

If the tribe is just idle and has no contribution, it usually has no name. This kind of anonymous is not a few in many tribes.

Pao Ding, WA and others in the Panshi tribe had no names before, and they didn't have their own names until they showed their talents in their exclusive field.

"I think you have something to say, don't you?"

"Yes, I have something to say."

The pretty savage apprentice peeked at the stern rock master.

"Don't worry, master Yan. He's cold and soft hearted. He won't blame you. Besides, I asked you to say it. Don't you listen to me? "

"I dare not!"

The apprentice was startled and almost knelt down, but he couldn't bend his legs. It seemed that there was a force to stop him.

"Tell me if it's related to the saltpeter we just said."

"Say it! How could my apprentice falter so much? If you have a fart, let it go

The rock master gave a cold drink.

The apprentice shivered again, even claimed "yes", but also stopped for a while, it seems that he was organizing the language, and then he said it.

"Chieftain, rock master, I've seen the thing called niter that chieftain said."

"Oh? Did you see it? Where is it? "

Chu East and rock teacher's eyes are a bright, coincidentally asked out.

"In the latrine."

"Nonsense! How could there be ore in the toilet? "

The rock master's face sank suddenly.

But Chu Dong was moved in his heart and waved to the rock master.

"Go on."

Seeing that Chu Dong believed his words, the apprentice had confidence immediately.

"Chieftain, why don't the Panshi tribe have many latrines? Sometimes, I will help to clean up the dirt in the latrine. I have seen the nitrates in the corner of the latrine. Because the surface is bright, sometimes it will show a special green in the sun

Chudong's eyes lit up.

"Where did you find it? Show me."

The apprentice nodded and led Chu Dong to the nearest toilet near the workshop.

Rock master naturally went with Chu Dong. When he heard his apprentice say that he had seen the niter mentioned by Chu Dong chieftain in the latrine, he felt an impulse to beat his apprentice.

But what was Chu Dong's excited expression?

Soon, Chu Dong and others came to the toilet.

Regardless of the stench of the latrine, the apprentice dug in a corner nearby with a stick, and really dug out a piece of white salt like substance.

In fact, the salt like substance in front of Chu Dong's eyes is not exactly the same as that described by Chu Dong. At least Chu Dong is talking about stones, but in front of him is a piece of crystal.

"Fool! It's not a stone at all... "

Rock master is about to reprimand primary school students, but saw Chu Dong excited squat down, broke off a small piece of salt flower crystal, licked with his tongue.

"Yes, that's the composition of nitre. My brain is also pretty funny, how to forget that niter can also be ground frost? This season is the time for frost to appear. "

Chu Dong stomped excitedly, stood up and patted the little apprentice on the shoulder.

"Boy, you're very nice, you have a unique vision. Well, your name will be nitrate after that, nitrate of nitre. You look very smart. You should be able to inherit the mantle of the rock master in the future. What do you say, rock master? ""Thank you, chieftain. Thank you for giving me a name. "

Apprentice nitrate excited, immediately kneel down, kowtow to Chu Dong.

This time, Chu Dong didn't use the magic to keep him from kneeling down, but accepted it calmly. This is actually one of the ways that barbarians express their excitement and gratitude.

"Chieftain, in such a dirty place, how could there be such a saltpeter as you said? Shouldn't niter be an ore? "

Natural nitrates are usually formed by the decomposition and oxidation of nitrogenous organic matter in soil under the action of bacteria into nitric acid and then combined with potassium in soil.

Therefore, in autumn, it is usually in the form of shell or salt flower, covering the ground and the foot of the wall. This is the so-called ground frost, that is, saltpeter, especially in pigsty, stables, toilets and other corners.

"Master Yan, we are all misled by the word" Shi ". In fact, there are many names for saltpeter, such as Glauber's salt and ground frost. It just occurred to me that ground frost would appear in the corner of pigsty, stable and toilet in this cool autumn season. You are a very observant pupil. You can focus on it. "

"Yes, I see."

The rock master took a look at the joyful nitrate, and his heart was also happy.

Being able to serve him with tea and water, naturally he is also a smart person. He is a younger generation that master Yan likes. He had intended to cultivate Xiao. Today, Xiao won Chu Dong's appreciation, and he is very happy.

"Nitrate, I will assign some people to you. These people will be taken by you to the corner near the pigsty, stables and toilets to collect this kind of ground frost, that is, saltpeter. The more, the better."

"Yes, we must finish the task."

Seeing a soldier passing by, Chu Dong beckoned the soldier to come and said, "take this apprentice to find the division of the division, and gather a group of careful people to obey the orders of Xiao."

The soldier looked at the nitrate with some doubts, but because it was Chu Dong's order, he naturally did it immediately and left with nitrate.
