The Sage of Einar

Einar, who was looking at the samples in front of him, smiled as the moment of truth had come to test the chemical samples.

To do this, he began by testing bottle number one, which was the control material.

Which was the combination of petroleum distillate, phosphoric acid, and animal fat.

To carry out the tests, he did them in a place far from the imperial palace at the soldiers\' crossbow shooting range.

Each bottle had a 500ml quantity of napalm or Nordic fire.

For the first test, he placed some of the substance on a wooden mannequin. When he finished, he used a torch to set the mannequin on fire.

It was at that moment that the wooden mannequin began to burn. The fire it produced was an orange color, so Einar smiled.

After a few seconds he gave the order to a slave to throw a bucket of water to put out the fire on the mannequin, but it did not go out, so it continued to burn while Einar remembered his days in the Sierra de México.

"Lieutenant Max, this is a real massacre. Why would criminal groups burn down a village using Napalm.

 

That they don\'t know that if they do that they would be classified as terrorists. "

 

Max, who was looking at the corpse of a girl which was still burning from the slimy substance, just clenched his fist.

 

"This was a terrorist attack and it must be reported to the central command. Those bastards will have to pay the price."

Einar, at that moment, only sighed and stopped remembering those tragic moments that marked him.

"Use the earth to put out the Napalm, we know it works like Greek fire."

The slave, using buckets of dirt, managed to put out the fire on the mannequin, so Einar took the jar with the number 2 and walked over to another mannequin.

Unlike the dark brown liquid in the first vial, the liquid in the second vial had a strong blue color.

After smearing it on the wooden mannequin, he uses the elongated torch to light it.

At that moment, a bluish orange flame was present. When using water to try to extinguish it, it continued to burn with the same intensity.

\'Well, Napalm with alcohol and copper salts seems to be non-lethal and even has higher volatility than napalm, which was created with nothing.

 

Now we just need to know if it is toxic or if slaves can survive it. \'

To carry out this test, Einar used two slaves who had tried to commit murder and abuse of a minor.

They were both that kind of scum that did not deserve to live, so it was decided to test them for the toxicity of the vapors.

The one who had tried to assassinate him was placed in a hut where the Napalm vapors would enter. Also their bodies were covered with Napalm.

This to see if he had any skin damage, Einar would not waste such valuable test subjects.

After a few minutes of testing, a soldier wearing a gas mask entered the scene and took out the prisoner who was dead.

Not only that, his skin had blisters on some sides, so his death had been completely painful.

Einar jotted down the directions, and the next prisoner suffered the same fate as the previous one. Only his skin was shed in places.

\'It seems that the liquid is extremely dangerous on the skin and gases in closed places are completely dangerous.

 

So all soldiers who use a flamethrower as a weapon must wear gas masks just like the auxiliary troops of soldiers with flamethrowers.

 

In order to release the substance from a distance, I think I can design a hand-held siphon bomb so that a soldier can pump Nordic fire at enemies.

 

But once this problem has been solved, let\'s see if Molotov bombs can be used in the army. \'

After this, Einar placed blue Nordic fire in a glass bottle and moistened a piece of cloth with petroleum distillate.

Lighting the cloth with a match, he launched it towards some mannequins where once the glass bottle was broken, the range of the fire caused by Einar smiled.

\'Although the flamethrower will take time to show its value, the Molotov grenades will be weapons that all members of the army and warriors must use.

 

Now I just have to prepare the siphon to demonstrate in front of my family and members of the army. \'

After this, Einar prepared as much of the petroleum distillate and phosphoric acid as possible using apatite.

It also began with the construction of the first simple refinery, where oil would be placed in gigantic copper tanks.

In order to obtain petroleum distillate, while what is left over will be used for road construction after being combined with stones to form asphalt.

When the waiting week was over and the siphon pump tank was complete, Einar gathered his entire family together with members of the Thing and leading members of the nation\'s armed forces.

Vilhelm was also in a meeting as he was curious to see the new weapon that Einar had created.

For the presentation, Einar got on a small platform and looked at everyone present.

"Greek fire is a mythical weapon that saved the Eastern Roman Empire many times, but it has a big problem and that is that its formula is a mystery.

That is why I decided to make something called Napalm or Nordic fire, a blue fire that is much more dangerous than Greek fire and that can burn even in water. "

After this, two soldiers came out of a small warehouse, both wearing gas masks that made them look like real monsters.

But that was only a part that made them look like monsters. Their black leather suits that they were wearing and the tank that one of them was wearing on his back was what really caught their attention.

The two started walking towards a remote area where the soldier with the flamethrower, using a match, lit the flamethrower torch.

Subsequently, the auxiliary soldier placed a hand pump on the ground with which he began to pump the solution to create pressure at the outlet nozzle.

When he was ready, he tapped his partner on the shoulder and he pointed at a mannequin on a large steel pot of water and pulled the trigger of the flamethrower.

An orange-blue flame flew out at a distance of almost 10 meters, which burned the mannequin and any surface it will touch regardless of whether it was water.

To maintain tank pressure, the auxiliary soldier used the hand pump to pump air and create pressure inside the tank with Nordic fire.

This demonstration surprised everyone, especially Kassia and Evaristus, who could not believe that Einar could have created a Greek fire almost identical to the original.
