The Path of Survival.

Summary

Xiao Fan designs a simple cannon using a steel pipe, planning a 1.5-meter length with a solid closure for gunpowder release. He experiments with gunpowder ratios and constructs a fortress for safety during tests. Initial explosions yield impressive results, with a final test creating a one-meter hole from 500 milliliters of gunpowder, surpassing catapult power. He aims to optimize the cannon further, addressing fuse reliability by developing a paper fuse with saltpeter for better ignition. Additionally, he researches flint for easier ignition, seeking to enhance the cannon's firing mechanism.
