Me, Hydra

Bracing himself for the mess in front of him, Hephaestus flushed.

Although the composition ratio of the gunpowder was already known, it was the same as what happened to Hydra. Whenever Hephaestus wanted to carry out experiments about gunpowder blasts there were always a lot of surprises. For example, a group of bears suddenly came and mixed water into it and other weird things.

But inexplicably, the experiment actually succeeded due to Cuchulain's misadventure!

The loud noise soon attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, and with the power of the Earth God Grid, Hydra was also able to feel the impact of this explosion.

From the scale of the explosion alone, it should have been a small amount of gunpowder that Cuchulain had unintentionally detonated, and then this small amount of gunpowder had successfully set the entire smithy on fire....

This left Hydra somewhat speechless.

Not to mention how long Hydra had been researching gunpowder, Hephaestus' research on thermite alone had been over a decade. And now Cuchulain had done the ignition of gunpowder by mistake....

Stroking his chin, Hydra shook his head helplessly.

According to the law of conservation of character, once a person suddenly bursts out with unprecedented strong luck, it means that he has spent all his luck for the rest of his life....

Research is something like a storied pikuchi, and once he breaks his first, everything that follows will develop like a Rifan level.

The birth of gunpowder represented the future of Sparta could save more labor while having access to more resources such as coal mines, iron ore and other cherished veins.

The next direction of research should be about the manufacture of bronze cannons, if nothing else. As I said before, the biggest obstacle to the bronze cannon is the strength of copper. However, Sparta has an ample supply of high-purity ore from northern Europe. So as long as the technology can be achieved, the bronze cannon can be quickly manufactured.......

But according to the current level of technology, it seems that only solid shells can be made....

But in this classical era, solid shells were sufficient.

........

I woke up in the morning and was surprised to find....

The skewers I prepared last night....

Sour!!!

In addition, the Yingling Palace has been changed from [Hydra Palace] to [Maenquil]....

Book Promotion - "The Hardest Bone Ends Up Feeding the Woof

The daily life of a Wraith player who talks about laughing (50-50) with other game world bigwigs in the modern world.

No little J J for this character!

PS: It's a decent boss fight towards fiction (probably)

PS2: The main protagonist is a serious skeleton, who will not change into a human to open a harem, the main line is to dislike other bosses, to maintain world peace (big mistake), the author is not interested in writing a slowly escalating story, all you want is to see FATE fight Valoran, Qui-Gon's hand torn Ksulu, do not play uncomfortable skies.

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and what you're looking for is a good idea of what you're looking for.

In fact, the casting of a bronze cannon was very simple, and it could be said that as long as one possessed copper ore of sufficient purity, it could basically be manufactured.

Although bronze is much more expensive than steel, but bronze is much tougher than steel. In other words, at the current level, it would take at least three times the labor cost of normal bronze to create a strong enough steel.

Many types of bronze cannons appeared in the fourteenth century, the most important of which was a giant cannon called the stone-firing cannon. This cannon had a short barrel and was usually cast in bronze or iron, but was sometimes made of pewter and brass. Because it fired stone shells weighing up to 300 pounds, a large amount of gunpowder had to be used. The gunpowder often filled the entire barrel, and the projectiles protruded from the outside of the barrel, so there was little accuracy in firing, and the initial velocity was extremely low. In order to increase the effectiveness of the guns, they had to be placed very close to the walls so that the stones could hit their targets.

But even this was enough, Hydra didn't think that the bronze cannon would be able to shine right from the start, just like the musket, which in the beginning was not even as powerful as the bow and arrow, but the bow and arrow was not as powerful as the musket. But the bow and arrow's ability to perform is too dependent on the user. Heat weapons did not have such concerns....

Technology is like playing a business game, and it's not so much the player who has to pay attention to their top troops as it is to their base warfare. This is the reason why ants bite the elephant. And what's more is that this world has the potential to grow far beyond its own previous life.

For no other reason, the existence of magic in this world had too much influence on the development of technology. Simply put, even the most basic, the aforementioned rock projectile cannon, once engraved with enough magic runes, after the runes are added, it can even go from a rock projectile cannon directly across countless technological obstacles to become a legendary plasma cannon....

Of course, this is all just theoretical until it all works out....

Looking at Hephaestus in front of him, Hydra shrugged her shoulders.

"It's hard to imagine that you've done your gunpowder development by such comical means~"

Hearing that, Hephaestus also nodded with deep feelings. After a moment of silence, Hephaestus said with a bitter smile, "I never thought that something that I used all of my energy to delve into would actually be completed by that guy Cuchulain, who knew nothing about forging... But the result is good, even though it's the first time I've seen it, it's still evident. The future of gunpowder is limitless."

A guard, Hephaestus, spread his hands.

"What on earth is going through your mind, Hydra? A leak about the formula for gunpowder would surely cause unpredictable upheaval in these times. Sparta is powerful enough now, isn't it? Let's seal him up. I can anticipate how much casualties these things called gunpowder can cause. Or...gunpowder shouldn't be in this age, he should be forbidden knowledge."

Hearing Hephaestus' words, Hydra snickered a few times.

"You smell your heart and ask yourself, what would Zeus and the others have chosen if they had discovered the composition of gunpowder?"

"........"

Hydra wasn't surprised to see Hephaestus silent before her. The purest ideology of people facing the unknown was panic, and this was especially true of the gods that had existed in the heavens for so long. After enjoying almost omnipotence, and suddenly finding something that was beyond their comprehension in both its appearance and development, there was no doubt that if there was no external threat, then the first thing they would do was to seal it....

And once there is an external threat, then they will choose to exploit it....

This is the sad part of human nature.

What does the absence of an external threat mean? It means that the inertia in people will come into play. There is no enemy, although people can choose to develop better. But inertia that begins in the parental generation becomes part of the genetic chain and is passed on to the next generation.

A simple and clear example.

The Indians.

The Indians have developed peacefully for thousands of years without the threat of external forces. But what did they develop? Strange language, which often uses the same letter consecutively when translated into English. Customs that are useless for the development of civilization. The Indians cannot be denied the achievements of the Indians in astronomy, literature and mathematics, but their technological tree seems to have grown a little crooked. They thought that their tree of technology was useless for the evolution of force.

When the Europeans set foot on their land....

George Washington: You can make good boots out of Indian skins.

Jefferson: It is like driving the beasts of the forest into the troubled hills. The quest to exterminate the Indians or drive them where we do not go."

Abraham Lincoln: The goal of this war is the total extermination of the Sioux tribe. They would be treated like animals.

Theodore Roosevelt: It was inevitable and ultimately advantageous, and I don't want to go too far to say that only dead Indians are good, but I believe nine out of ten good Indians are dead, and I don't want to go into the details of the case of the tenth death.

This is inertia.

Before the Europeans set foot in America, the Indians formed tribes. The vast land had ample hunting spots, and high-yielding crops such as corn kept them from having to worry about food.

In Hydra's mind, the more tragic the history, the sooner it should happen. It was because of this painful lesson that Li Shimin was able to make his way to the top, that he was given the title of "Tian Khan", and that he was able to bring his kingdom to China.

The hardships suffered by Sparta in the first hundred years of Hydra's awakening were incredible. It was because of that hardship that the rugged nerves of the current Spartan people were created.

Opening her eyes, Hydra looked calmly at Hephaestus before her.

"The existence of knowledge is the betterment of the world, and forbidden knowledge is the most important knowledge that should be valued. Books are the carriers of knowledge, and humans are the readers of books. The future derived from forbidden knowledge receives the control of our minds. Will you seal your own hands forever? Blacksmith."

As she said that, Hydra turned around.

"Believe me, human creativity for the future is powerful."
