For alchemists, materials science is the least of their problems.
The power of the transmutation array allows them to test multiple alloy formulas in a short period of time.
Then, analyze the data of these alloys and choose the one you need.
Now, with the advent of enhanced gunpowder, they can simply find a suitable alloy from their existing inventory.
“Metal No. 18, Your Highness, according to the tests, it should be able to ensure that the new gunpowder will not explode.”
"Oh? Let me see..."
Following the recipe recorded in the book, Edward used his mental power to construct a transmutation array and completed a test piece of metal.
Immediately afterwards, his hand transformed into a bone-like blade and chopped down at the metal.
"clang……"
Sparks flew as the bone blade was deflected, but remained intact.
The metal is still in place, but there's a gap where it collided.
Although the alloy was cut open, Edward was still quite satisfied. The weapon he had just modified with his limbs could easily cut through a metal plate.
"It looks pretty good. Let's see if the stretchability and other aspects are suitable. If it is, then we'll use this one."
"Hmm, not necessarily. I was thinking, with such good gunpowder, could we try modifying the templates for firearms and projectiles?"
Edward suddenly had a bold idea.
Within three days of the new gunpowder being developed, you attempted to modify the projectile.
[Standard round projectiles are no longer sufficient in your opinion; they cannot effectively kill enemy troops.]
[The phrase "I have a bold idea" triggers a flash of inspiration, making you wonder if you might have another way to do it.]
"bump……"
At the firing range, Edward raised his modified firearm, a weapon that didn't need to be loaded with gunpowder because the gunpowder was already inside the bullet.
Aim, fire.
Almost at the same time that smoke appeared from the muzzle of the gun, a hole appeared in the target on the other side.
"It seems like this time it worked well?"
He did not go over, because Karen, the alchemist and also a perfect being, had already arrived at the target.
"Crack..."
The fingers transformed into sharp claws, slicing open the target and extracting the bullet inside.
"Your Highness, it was a success. This time the shooting result was much better than the previous ones."
Holding the deformed bullet, he glanced at the special alloy used in the target.
The alchemist compared the opening above with his own body.
If he doesn't use mimicry to modify his body structure, but simply uses the same flesh and blood as a normal human.
Therefore, a huge hole should appear in the area where the bullet is most likely to hit.
Of course, he could react and dodge; he didn't necessarily have to stand there and take the beating.
"With this level of attack power, even just ordinary bullets should be enough to kill ordinary orcs, fully armed low-level warriors and wizards, and most dwarves."
