Damn that 4-6 hours took a whole 9.5 hours. Accursed gun text.

Year 7447, Month 1, Day 8

It's the third day since we entered the dungeon.

In the spacious center room of the 8th floor we arrived at before the evening I'm making bullets for the sake of test firing the same as usual. A considerable distance away from the central pillar, in a slightly open area the production of smokeless gunpowder is being done centering around me. Inside of the glass and ceramic containers that I purchased in mass I use magic to separate the raw materials, or rather it's the acids I made through nitrification of the raw cotton.

Though the primary objective is nitrification and denitrification but on that occasion I'm always keeping an eye on it. If the reaction isn't fixed then I immediately stir the mixed acids and accelerate the reaction of the late portions. The stirring can be done safely using my excessive mana.

The next washing process is normally the part that would take the longest amount of time but as a matter of fact it doesn't take that long at all. I'll mention the reason later but my magic(or rather my massive amount of mana I guess?) plays a major role in it.

When it comes to boil washing it, I just use a stupidly huge cylindrical pot for it and it's fine to periodically heat it up with fire magic. Of course, if you have the fuel then it's fine to place it over fire as well. The washing after that is really nothing more than a bonus. I make a huge bath buckets using ice and after filling that with water carry out the washing. Though rather than a bath bucket it might be more appropriate to call it a pool. In regards to the current of the water as long as they can use water and void magic anyone can do it.

The majority of the water is something I created but if they just add the water they made themselves to there they can move it by using void magic to move that water. Though the efficiency will drop quite a bit because the amount is small in comparison to the rest but in the end my water will start rotating around in the pool so it's still far better than mixing it with a pole. Also, it's using magic with a clear objective to it's more efficient for earning experience points than just randomly using elemental magic.

Though I say that, the reason for the boil washing and washing with water here is to remove the remaining acid, fat parts, and trash from the raw cotton that underwent nitrification so I don't mind even if they're both done halfhearted. In the end if I just use the spell {Selection} then po~of it'll all be perfect separated from the impurities all at once after all. The only reason I don't do it from the start is so I can take it even just a bit easier. Through using the spell {Selection} it leaves almost no impurities so it reduces any accidents to close to none.

Most likely, I don't think it would be wrong to say that just this most important part is done at an even greater level than the technology on Earth.

After that, while it's wet from the water Toris separates it all at once. Even here it's possible for us to do precise separation that's almost perfectly uniform so it raises the level of safety when being used even higher. I use {Selection} on the separated materials once again and then use magic again to dry it all at once, or rather if I just pass it through an {Anti-Magic Field} all of the water created with magic completely disappears. If I store in a bottle together with alcohol separated from vodka then it won't deteriorate for a short while.

As a matter of fact right now I'm confirming the mixture ratio for the stabilizer to help the quality last even longer. Sodium bicarbonate is used for laundry and cooking so it was easy to obtain and oxidized magnesium is the main ingredient in the leftovers of a type of magnesium called {flash metal} which was pleasantly easy to obtain as well.

No matter which stage it is water magic is a necessity so it's almost always been Zenom, Ralpha, Zulu, and Angela that have been dispatched to the other teams. Since just Gwine has the important job of producing the map and confirming our current location when teleporting she's still acting together with the {Slaughterers} as usual. Recently she's been on firing duty when we test fire the gun. Though it's just pulling the string tied to the trigger on Bel's signal.

Since it's already the new year, this time I intend to go one step further and start making a new gun. Of course, it's still not one for use in the real thing. One that still doesn't leave the realm of a test gun but this time rather than one that is shot while resting on a bench, I intend to make one that someone can hold in their hand and fire. Just in case I brought along some walnut wood for making the gun-stock.
