The huge sound of 500 grams of hydrazine nitrate crystal bursting seems to be still echoing in Catfish Village, which really makes people panic, and when people see the rising mushroom cloud, they seem to see something terrifying! They remembered the previous German air raids, where the airfield was bombed into a fish pond. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but this mushroom cloud is very special, it is even bigger, obviously the explosion is more dangerous, for example, the deafening sound, too close I am afraid that the ears are deaf!

Many people were placed to plow the land or cut down trees after physical training, and the sound of violent explosions reached their ears. This experiment became a new topic of conversation among the soldiers, and the witnesses at the scene even added fuel to the fire, everything was burned, and the earth shook and destroyed some houses.

From the frightened expressions of their comrades, all those who returned believed that this was boasting. During this time, they all heard that the deputy division commander had suddenly arrived, and they did not do anything to inspect and inspect the troops, but stayed with the chemists with all their hearts. Rumors of the production of new weapons have become a reality, and people eating in the entire canteen are talking about it.

The lunch was still simple, and the white coats who participated in the experiment were also asked to go to a private room, where more than 20 people sat in one breath. This makes it less like a lunch, but a meeting.

"Cheers!" Fuming was the first to stand up and raise his glass, "Celebrate the success of our experiment." ”

People's faces were full of joy, and Yang Mingzhi was also grinning like a flower.

Fuming witnessed the explosion of the compound throughout the bottle, the strong noise, the shocking mushroom cloud, and the terrifying burning range, which completely shocked his little heart.

At his mention, everyone drank a glass of wine.

After everyone sat down, Fuming continued: "I think this experiment can basically determine the rationality of this weapon, according to the old tradition, the theoretical basis has been established, the experiment has passed, we can mass production, and this weapon will be installed soon in the future." ”

Yang Mingzhi didn't deny his idea, but his steps were too big to pull the egg, he didn't speak, and Ivanov spoke first.

"Comrade Deputy Political Commissar, you must know that it takes a process from the formulation of the theory to the completion of the weapon. Once the experiment was successful, we still need to conduct data analysis to find the shortcomings. ”

Fomin was not a chemist after all, he was a commissar and was more concerned with the loyalty of the soldiers to the Bolsheviks. "In my opinion, the weapon does not need to be tested a few more times, we are very short of ammunition now, the pressure of the enemy is still huge, and if there is a new weapon, it is better to put it into use immediately. Like the home-produced picric acid that we already use extensively. ”

Yang Mingzhi was not very happy to listen to this, after all, the production of hydrazine nitrate was also authorized by himself, and this Ukrainian Jew Fomin knew almost nothing about chemistry. He said slowly: "Comrade Deputy Political Commissar, hydrazine nitrate is different from picric acid, and besides, I think it is too dangerous, and if it is not properly operated, it will not blow up the enemy, and we ourselves will be burned to death." ”

As soon as the experiment ended, Yang Mingzhi's brain began to spin rapidly, since Ivanov could synthesize this ferocious compound, others were not a problem, such as ammonium nitrate.

He turned to Ivanov and said, "Friend, I am very satisfied with this experiment, but it is not advisable to press the treasure on a compound. You are also risking a lot of danger by storing hydrazine nitrate crystals in glass bottles. ”

"Yes, this thing is very acidic, very toxic, and extremely absorbent."

"In that case, I'm going to mix it with glycerin and make it into an emulsion explosive." Yang Mingzhi's words gave Ivanov a great inspiration, and he made a paste and loaded it into a shell, which greatly improved the safety. But on the whole, this compound is still difficult to serve, and it is much more dangerous than picric acid!

Ivanov drank some wine and became more emboldened, he gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, if you can, I don't think hydrazine nitrate is reliable." Rather than producing it, I would prefer to produce ammonium nitrate. ”

"Of course ammonium nitrate has to be produced!" Yang Mingzhi hurriedly answered: "I didn't say that we only produce hydrazine nitrate. Weapons need to be updated, we need more powerful explosives, better rocket propellants, ammonium nitrate fits this very well, and even as a fertilizer for potato production. ”

"As fertilizer? It does seem to work as a nitrogen fertilizer. Ivanovle's face was flushed.

Looking at the chemists who were on the rise, Yang Mingzhi also imagined it. "If we want hydrazine nitrate hydrate, we can use it as a liquid explosive, which can be mixed with gasoline and put into a container and then embedded in a grenade. Such a small grenade can be turned into a powerful fireball! ”

Ivanov seemed to see the situation after equipping the troops with this special grenade, and he had to say worriedly: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, you have also seen today's experiment, I am very worried that the soldiers will throw this kind of grenade, and its killing range will be greater than the investment distance." ”

Yang Mingzhi was happy, no matter how you think about this thing, it can't be a strange feeling weapon like a nuclear RPG! He waved his hand: "You can rest assured, just mix in a little bit to enhance the power." Following this line of thinking, we can produce safer ammonium nitrate. Mix it with TNT and picric acid to make the explosives even more powerful! ”

Ivanov was very excited, and he interjected: "So if you mix ammonium nitrate with black powder as a rocket thruster, its thrust will also be greatly increased." ”

"Of course, we can push the warhead out with a small amount of propellant, so that the warhead can be filled with more explosives. Or our rockets and rocket-propelled grenades can be greatly reduced in size, but their power will increase instead of decreasing. ”

Reducing the volume of ammunition while maintaining the same power will undoubtedly allow the soldier to carry more ammunition, and in the heat of war, whoever carries more ammunition will have stronger combat effectiveness.

Before you know it, this lunch really became a meeting. The hydrazine nitrate deflagration experiment needs to be further explored at the site, but the compound seems to have fallen out of favor. It's more like a proof of the strength of the laboratory that Ivanov and his students are indeed capable of preparing these complex compounds, and even the key storage mechanisms are being perfected.

Here Yang Mingzhi temporarily decided that the production of ethylene oxide would be put on hold for the time being, he did not want to risk it, this thing was quite easy to make according to Ivanov, but the storage was too harsh, and it had to be a high-pressure cylinder to hold such a grumpy guy.

The materials of incendiary air weapons were selected for two types: ammonium nitrate and hydrazine nitrate.

The traditional explosives remain unchanged, still black powder and picric acid.

Due to the fact that even ammonium nitrate reproduction requires a large amount of nitric acid, the weapon used to make pure ammonium nitrate explosives is not cost-effective. In Yang Mingzhi's opinion, mixing multiple explosives is the most economical, and this arrangement quietly goes against his original intention.

"I wanted to make a thermobaric bomb, but the gap between the production capacity of the laboratory and the chemical plant was too big. Only a small number of thermobaric bombs can be produced as a killer feature. "After thinking about it, that's all it can be for now. He is still in a good mood, Ivanov is an extremely reliable person, he cannot mass-produce thermobaric bombs for the time being, and there will be a chance in the future! (To be continued.) )
