[Rp!]Studies In The Lab

[Enyahs V. 173]

Enyahs looks around the lab seeing that is now clean and smiling brightly. "Finally I can start real work." He said going towards his new resident guild member. "Tenshar, How goes your studies?" Enyahs raises in eyebrow in interest folding his hand behind his back comfortably.

[Kanrath 190]

*Tenshar walks into the lab, his pack of tools and blueprints strapped to his back as always*

**Quick ooc note, most of this goes on within a secure lab, and there for only those who have been in the lab might have some clue as to the on goings*

[Kanrath 190]

"Well, I recently began work on a new cannon ball design based off an earlier one, though it is unfinished"

*lays out a blueprint on the table and begins to explain the idea behind the cannon ball, after a little while he rolls the blue print up and places it away* ((One of the Lab projects from Tenshar's journal))

[Enyahs V. 173]

"I am not good at blueprints. Maybe make one and you can explain it better?" Enyahs says with a bit a frown. He slowly look up to Tenshar's new lab and gestures his own head towards it, Hoping to signal him to follow. Enyahs begins walking to the lab, not sure if Tenshar is following or not.

[Kanrath 190]

*Follows along after grabbing some materials from his house and the mold for the cannon ball design*

[Enyahs V. 173]

Enyahs stands at the explosion proof door awaiting Tenshar. Soon, Tenshar appears, and Enyahs steps up to the door, unlocking it. "Come in, the lock is on the inside, remember?" Enyahs said beckoning Tenshar inside.

[Kanrath 190]

*nods*

"Aye, would be for the best to use the inner lab, the materials are highly explosive and could cause quite a bit of damage in the main lab, not to mention the structure's integrity itself"

*Heads in, locking the Main gate to ensure no one enters the lab during the development and then heads into the inner lab*

[Enyahs V. 173]

Enyahs watches Tenshar to make sure he locks the front gate. Seeing he does, Enyahs shuts the thick door and locks it tight. With that, he turns around to see Tenshar,"So where do we start?"

[Kanrath 190]

"Right, can you take this redstone and get it shaped into two half circles about the size of a cannon ball, but one inch less in diameter, I'll start prepping the cannon ball molds and get the iron smelted"

[Enyahs V. 173]

Enyahs looks down at the redstone trying to remember the radius of a canonball. "Ah!" He says after remmebering and quickly begins to do as instructed. "Like this?" He says looking up to Tenshar holding the redstone in hand.

[Kanrath 190]

"Perfect, now we hollow them like so" *removes half circle from each about an inch deep for each half* Now, the cannon ball mold is finished so we place the redstone inside the two halves of the cannon ball like this. The last part is a secondary mold which we place the unfinished cannonball in, and pour iron in which will run along the sides creating a second shell holding the cannon ball together like this *Does as described, there is now a full sized cannon ball with hole in the top that connects to the two inch hollowed out inner chamber*

"Now this part we have to be careful with, if the metal is still too hot it may ignite the gunpowder, pass me that bucket of water and a funnel if you would while I ready the gunpowder"

[Enyahs V. 173]

"Alright." Enyahs reaches onto the counter grabbing the bucket full of water. He looks down into it seeing a funnel is till in it from the move. "Very convienient.." He mumble passing them both over.

[Kanrath 190]

"Right then" *Using a heavy set of iron working tongs he cools the cannon ball, then using the funnel pours in the gun powder. For the final step he screws in an iron cap designed to take a heavy cannon fuse*

"And there we are...the idea is when fired the fuse will cause the cannon ball to detonate flinging burning netherack everywhere, what do you think?"

[Enyahs V. 173]

"So it doesn't actually explode it just sets things on fire? How would we go about making it explode AND cause fire." Enyahs says lifting his eyebrow once more. Then he looks up at Tenshar with the same look.

[Kanrath 190]

"Well it does explode, but not enough to heavily damage anything. I suppose we could try mixing some of the volatile chemicals and materials we have into something with a bit more kick to it?"
