The purpose of establishing a fertilizer plant for large-scale production of synthetic ammonia is not only to make fertilizer, but also to make weapons. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because RPGs with ammonium nitrate as an additive have already received a stronger thrust, which means that if the rocket is reproduced again, its range will be considerable. In Yang Mingzhi's view, since Hamas in that plane can make rockets and fly several kilometers to attack Israel. In any case, my own job is to engage in the military industry, and my knowledge level is richer than that group of people! It is completely possible to make rocket artillery with a range comparable to that of field artillery!

It was three o'clock in the morning, and there were only a few people left in the laboratory building to guard the instruments. When people were too tired, the work on the creation of weapons had to stop.

It was a quiet place, and only two men were still discussing enthusiastically.

So far, Yang Mingzhi and Ivanov have been completely determined to build a fertilizer plant, even if there are many difficulties.

Because the traditional method of making nitrate is almost at its limit, only the industrial method is used to produce nitric acid, and then the chemical method is used to produce saltpeter. Once the fertilizer plant can achieve mass production of ammonia and urea, it also means that nitric acid can be mass-produced. With nitric acid, sulfuric acid can also be mass-produced.

Because their composition is nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen.

Such production efficiency is more efficient than that of the indigenous nitrate method, even if it consumes more natural resources.

Ivanov had seen the insane power of hydrazine nitrate, a special compound that was difficult to manufacture and store, and could not be used as a mainstay after all. Picric acid is powerful, and the yield is difficult to increase. The power of black powder is too low, and it is most suitable as a rocket propellant.

Only ammonium nitrate, when the mass production of chemical fertilizer is realized, this refined compound is not only used as a special high-efficiency fertilizer, but also more into the military.

The two men chatted very speculatively, and Yang Mingzhi deliberately brought pen and paper to sketch an inspiring picture.

I saw Yang Ming say while drawing: "This is the defense line set up by the German army outside the road, we only need to produce a batch of long-range rocket artillery, which can be launched from five kilometers away and directly attack their defense line." We filled the warhead with hydrazine nitrate, and the destructive power created during the previous experiment was probably left untouched for the Germans to taste. ”

About the stormy carpet bombardment of Katyusha rocket artillery, the Germans have already tasted it in many places. Swept by the steel rain, the dense tank group became a living target, and finally became a broken and burning iron coffin.

Ivanov had never seen the intensive use of rocket artillery, and of course he knew that the Soviets had such a weapon, the lethal effect of which was limited to a textual description. Believing that seeing is believing, he didn't believe it that much, but he had only seen the ferocious fireball after the hydrazine nitrate burst into flames, because it was made by himself.

Yang Mingzhi's mind was already overwhelmed by the overwhelming sweep of PLA rocket artillery in that plane. For this chemist, it is better to use words to sketch a spectacular and tragic picture of the war.

"I really need ammonium nitrate, a few months ago we couldn't mass-produce rocket-boosted grenades, our army is using some small-caliber rockets, which are only as powerful as a hand grenade, and the ignition mechanism is the same as in the 19th century.

Once we get a lot of ammonium nitrate, we can make a larger caliber rocket launcher with a larger charge and a longer range than purely compacted black powder. We are quite capable of creating something powerful, and in the absence of such a 152 mm caliber howitzer, such weapons are simply our strategic weapons! ”

There's nothing more exciting than fertilizing crops to make them more productive.

Ivanov was mobilized at that time, although he was also forced to helpless, he himself did not want to fight the enemy with a rifle with a bayonet, and his nature was not a war-fear. In this war, there are people who cannot be used as cannon fodder in front-line battles, and Ivanov is eager to prove himself.

This sketch drawn by the deputy division commander Berekov is not only to convince himself of the strategic effect of the intensive use of rocket artillery, but also to describe the German defense line as the current situation in Novgomel. The enemy was building a "Great Wall", digging trenches, building concrete fortresses, and even laying mines in order to stop the military operations of the Soviet troops in the swamps.

Heavy weapons must be the ones who can break this deadlock. Either large-caliber heavy artillery, or rocket artillery.

Suddenly, a sense of responsibility and mission came to my heart, and all difficulties seemed to be no longer difficulties.

Ivanov made up his mind that the fertilizer plant would be picked up, and the remaining question was the concrete steps to build the plant.

He said: "I think that the output of concentrated ammonia in our fertilizer plant, if we guarantee 10 tons a month, will basically completely meet our needs." In order to accomplish such a goal, we do not need to build particularly huge factories. In addition to this, we need to produce sulfuric acid on a large scale. More charcoal-burning plants were built. These chemical plants had to be located far from residential areas, so we had to choose a new location. ”

The location of the plant is important, and when the fertilizer plant is put into operation, the ammonia level in the air will make people feel like they are living in a place surrounded by latrines, which is not a good idea.

Where is the factory built? How do you meet a variety of needs?

Yang Mingzhi and Ivanov coincidentally thought of a place to be built near a hot spring spring.

A brief map of the area slammed down on the table, and two men placed kerosene lamps on the map and leaned over to calculate distances with rulers.

"Our sulfur mine is not far from Catfish Village, only twelve kilometers?" Yang Mingzhi asked with squinted eyes.

"That's right, considering the many waterholes and swamps you have to pass along the way, and the winding road through them will be a little farther."

"Looks like we're going to have to build a reliable road, at least to allow the carriage to move freely."

"That's right, ensuring the stable delivery of raw materials in chemical plants is also a guarantee for the stable production of chemical fertilizers."

There is a hot spring there, and being able to take a comfortable bath is what Yang Mingzhi dreams of. If you build a sanatorium where there are hot springs, but if you build a chemical plant such as a fertilizer plant, you will also pollute the environment.

Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but think more, the Soviet Union on that plane wanted to build the Leningrad nuclear power plant in this place, but in 1986, the nuclear leak, this already sparsely populated swamp has fewer people! Right now, where Novgomel is, in that plane is the radiation zone! All the good scenery has become a dangerous place.

Anyway, there will be losses and gains, Ivanov patted his chest and assured that he was responsible for all the parameters of the equipment needed for the fertilizer plant.

Yang Mingzhi glared at this ambitious guy and said, "Glory can't let you take it all by yourself. When it comes to mechanical engineering, I'm an expert! You need a lot of cylinders, pipes, and I, a professional, will help you. ”

The two of them clasped their right hands tightly together, and at this time, a rooster crowed from nowhere.

Yang Mingzhi looked at his watch, and it was already half past four in the morning. "Hehe, the chicken is waking up, we haven't slept yet. What a pleasant conversation tonight. ”

"Yes, I'm happy too. Together, my friend, we had to design drawings for the large-scale equipment for the manufacture of ammonia and ammonium nitrate, and the potato harvest in June would probably be difficult to use in mass production, at least after that, when the large-scale use of fertilizer would make our spring of 1943 extremely comfortable. ”

In 1943, who knows what will happen to Novgomel at that time. But it can no longer be like this year, where the guarantee of morale with spiritual strength depends on the ideological consciousness of the people, and only a large number of potatoes can be worth a thousand words!
