Chapter 552: Gunpowder Factory
Although there is only one word difference between gunpowder and explosives, the effects of the two are very different.
When gunpowder is used properly, it can indeed produce an explosive effect, but no matter how purified black powder is, it is not as good as the later explosives in terms of destroying one ability!
The gunpowder and gunpowder of the gunpowder did not change anything.
But if the shells are filled with explosives, or if the gunpowder tanks on the catapults they are used to are replaced with explosives, the destructive power will be increased by more than ten times!
What's more, as long as you have the explosives in your hands, no matter what kind of city wall you have, it will be like nothing in front of you, without any protection!
Lu Bu took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "What's the exchange price for gunpowder craftsmen?"
Although the system's answer was not too exaggerated, it still cooled the heat in Lu Bu's heart a lot.
"A low-level gunpowder craftsman needs 20 reputation points in exchange, an intermediate gunpowder craftsman needs 80 reputation points in exchange, and a high-level gunpowder craftsman needs 200 reputation points!"
This price can be said to be the highest price that Lu Bu has heard so far!
Two hundred reputation points, never in Lu Bu's hands - so many reputation points!
Due to the development of the territory under his command, it is estimated that he will not have so many extra reputation points in his hands for a long time to come!
It seems that my idea of forming a blasting team in a short time can be shattered directly!
Fortunately, low-level gunpowder craftsmen don't need many reputation points, only 20 reputation points, which is still affordable for Lu Bu.
He immediately exchanged two low-level gunpowder craftsmen.
This time, the two gunpowder craftsmen appeared directly in the cabin, then walked to the deck and saluted Lu Bu.
The sailors and sailors around had long been used to these strange people appearing beside His Royal Highness from time to time, and they didn't pay much attention to them.
"How efficient are you at producing gunpowder?"
Lu Bu looked at the very clean clothes of the two, and asked them in surprise.
Compared to the other craftsmen, these two guys were so clean that Lu Bu doubted their real identities.
The two gunpowder craftsmen glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Your Highness, our own production output is not high, but since we are two people, we can form a production chain. As long as you equip us with more than ten workers, The efficiency of the two of us can reach twenty barrels of the purest black powder per day!"
This efficiency is not high, but the labor they use is not too much, relatively speaking, it is still enough to make Lu Bu feel satisfied.
Lu Bu nodded slowly.
"When I get back to Sun Moon City, I will allocate manpower to cooperate with your work. I will also dispatch manpower to the gunpowder factory one after another in the future. Go down first!"
The two gunpowder craftsmen saluted very respectfully, and then returned to the cabin.
The unit of measurement they use is the wooden barrels that are often seen on pirate ships, and the amount of gunpowder in each barrel is only enough for a medium artillery such as a French machine gun to fire five times.
Twenty barrels per day is barely enough for a Fuchuan, or the daily combat readiness of two Clippers.
It seems that I still need a lot of plundering pirates, getting people, and a lot of gunpowder artisans!
Although this time it was not exchanged to a high-level gunpowder craftsman, the word "development of explosives" left a deep impression on Lu Bu's heart!

The three fast boats quickly approached the vicinity of Sun Moon Island, but in order to see the overall situation, the three fast boats deliberately opened a distance, but none of the pirate ships were found.
Lu Bu frowned slightly, and signaled the bannermen to send out a signal to let the other two fast boats cruise in the deep sea area, ready to fight at any time, while his own boat slowly approached the shore and then lowered the boat.
Lu Bu himself jumped into the boat and returned to the shore of Riyue Island.
The soldiers patrolling the shore saw Lu Bu and ran over immediately.
"Your Highness!"
The eyes of these guys were full of doubts and expectations, and they stood by the side after seeing the ceremony, without any intention of letting go.
Lu Bu smiled: "The pirates in that lair have been wiped out by us!"
As soon as the news came out, the soldiers cheered immediately.
There were a few people with better brains, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Captain Huang has come to his senses. He heard that His Highness led the team to the pirate's lair, and immediately wanted to get up excitedly, but almost passed out again. It was Her Royal Highness who personally persuaded him to settle down!"
Lu Bu nodded, if Huang Xin didn't even show this attitude, it would be chilling.
"You have been patrolling the shore for a long time, and you have a few binoculars in your hands. Have you seen other ships passing the nearby waters?"
Several soldiers glanced at each other, and finally replied: "His Royal Highness, we did see an unidentified ship, but the ship left after only cruising around for a while, so we didn't care about Zero! "
