Chapter 990 Let’s go to Beimo and take a look!

Wherever there are hot springs, there are various minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, iron, zinc, calcium sulfate, sodium chloride, etc.

And most hot springs contain sulfur, which is a good thing!

Sulfur can be used as medicine to treat skin diseases, arthritis and other diseases. It can also be used to make daily necessities such as soap and shampoo. It can also be used as fertilizer, to make pesticides, to manufacture rubber products, paper, dyes, and sugar.

Most importantly, sulfur is one of the raw materials for making gunpowder!

Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of ancient China. It is made by mixing saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal in a certain proportion.

And she is familiar with the ratio for making gunpowder!

In the previous life, when going on missions, there were some special situations that required one to make weapons according to local conditions. The method of making gunpowder is an essential skill for every member of a special organization.

Although there were hot springs in the Devil's Valley and saltpeter on the mountain, she never thought of making gunpowder.

Because the hot spring is not very big, there is not much pyrite used to extract sulfur.

And now, if she could find more pyrite, she could make a new type of gunpowder that was more powerful than the gunpowder invented by the ancients.

Beimo has always been eyeing Daiyue covetously. Even if we drive them back this time, they will come back again in the future.

She didn't want to see the soldiers of the Dingbei Army bleed and sacrifice.

Those barbarians who shamelessly covet other countries' territories should be severely beaten and frightened, so that they dare not covet them again.

Therefore, if gunpowder could be produced for the Dingbei Army, it would greatly improve the Dingbei Army's combat effectiveness, reduce casualties, and completely deter the restless Northern Desert barbarians.

Qiao Ran's eyes were full of joy, and she couldn't wait to hold Mo Beihan's hand and go down the mountain:

"Let's go to the Northern Desert!"

Although he didn't know why she was suddenly so excited, Mo Beihan's mood became excited inexplicably, and he let her hold his hand and walk down the mountain towards Beimo.

If it is very difficult to climb up the Snow Lotus Mountain from the northern border, then the difficulty from the northern desert will be at least 50% higher.

Because the slope here is steeper and the snow is thicker, in some places you can be buried if you step on it!

The two first looked at the terrain, found a route down the mountain that looked relatively easier, and began to go down the mountain carefully.

When they were almost halfway down the mountain, Qiao Ran stabbed a rock with her dagger. As her right foot left the ground and reached down, the rock suddenly cracked and several pieces of gravel fell out. The dagger had no foothold, and she lost her balance and fell down.

"Ran Ran!"

Mo Beihan, who was exploring the way ahead, was so excited that his heart almost jumped out. He quickly grabbed his dagger with one hand to steady his body, and reached out with the other hand to grab Qiao Ran who was falling to his side.

In a hurry, he grabbed Qiao Ran's arm with one hand, but the impact of the fall caused them both to fall down together.

The accumulated snow fell down and it started to rain over their heads. It was a beautiful scene, but no one appreciated it.

The two of them fell much faster than the snowflakes, and they knocked off the snow on the stone wall along the way.

Originally Qiao Ran was at the bottom, but soon Mo Beihan was there again. He used his body to protect Qiao Ran, and his shoulders and back banged against the stone wall so hard that it hurt just to hear it.

The slope here is steeper, and there is almost no place to gain leverage.

"boom!"

Finally, the two fell onto a large protruding rock.

Fortunately, the thick snow provided some cushion, so Qiao Ran felt okay.

But when she got up, she heard a slight "hiss" sound.

"Are you hurt? Let me see!"

Qiao Ran immediately squatted down to check Mo Beihan's injuries.

Seeing that he didn't have any injuries on his head, but blood was oozing from the right shoulder blade on his back, we knew that he must have been injured during the fall.
