But you can\u2019t exactly tell a master watchmaker that you\u2019d like some sulphur. He\u2019s going to ask why! Once I realised we had various chemicals in stock, all I had to do was match what we have to what the text books say. Some acid and some sort of reactive metal can make hydrogen. Oh, sorry, you don\u2019t read do you?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019d better watch it!\u201d MaxChaos retorts, \u201cI\u2019m good with a bow and arrow!\u201d He adds, \u201cand I can read and write! I just don\u2019t spend hours in the library like you.\u201d<\/p>\n MaxChaos is just trying to stop the conversation getting out of hand. He\u2019s calm enough, and he\u2019s genuinely interested in inventing something new.<\/p>\n Traditional animal traps are fine for rabbits and things, but hunting boar or deer still requires a bow and arrow. He\u2019d like an old fashioned gun, or something better. He\u2019s convinced that gunpowder is a necessary stepping stone to building a workable gun.<\/p>\n \u201cDo we have any reactive metal?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re using iron shavings for now, they\u2019re mildly reactive. If this proof of concept works then we\u2019re going to try to find something higher up the metal reactivity series!\u201d<\/p>\n Unsure exactly what that means, MaxChaos asks, \u201clike what?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe next two are chromium and zinc, but I\u2019d really like something more volatile, like sodium.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhere are we going to find sodium?\u201d<\/p>\n Previous<\/a> – Book1 Page174 \u2013 Next<\/a><\/p>\n Previous – Book1 Page174 \u2013 Next the first time this week, they\u2019ve moved me to working with R&D.\u201d \u201cAaron Dee?\u201d thinks MaxChaos, but decides not to ask.
