Chapter 502: Sawdust
Turning fertilizers into industrial explosives, the process is not difficult. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Yang Mingzhi finished eating, wrote down the required materials on a piece of paper and handed them to Yerentina and Yevlov.
Looking at these terms, the two of them couldn't help but be happy.
"We have a lot of dried wood chips here, and some of them still need to be added to flour to increase the toughness of bread. As for the detonator, there is another point from the last airdrop, but the artillery shell primer made in the arsenal is also considered a detonator. Yerengina said.
Yang Mingzhi really didn't bother to complain about this group of old hairy people, he had to add some strange sawdust to Da Lieba, and the heavy taste was put aside, he affirmed: "The above materials are mixed with the compounds in this bottle, and they can be detonated, and the power is not small." It's just that in addition to being an explosive, we now fill this bottle with water, and it turns into an excellent rocket propellant. ”
Yerenkina nodded: "It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip, our black powder is too much smoke when burning, I hope the new products you bring do not have this problem." ”
"There's still smoke, it's water vapor." Yang Mingzhi briefly described the chemical reaction, at least the water vapor produced will dissipate quickly, which is much more comfortable than the fog of war created by the smoke of black powder.
The two men at the division headquarters changed their minds slightly, and the compound was only 500 grams, and they had to do an explosion test as well as a propulsion test. After the three of them negotiated, Yang Mingzhi also felt that Ivanov couldn't easily waste these things, so he decided to use 200 grams.
In fact, he knew very well that this dose alone would be enough to cause a huge explosion.
A new experimental plan is in place, and the assassination is over for the time being. When Yerentina saw the soldiers bringing the surviving prisoner of war to Henschel, she ordered him to be locked up in a confinement cell first.
Yevlov took the list written by Yang Mingzhi and immediately ordered someone to collect his materials.
Yang Mingzhi carried the bottle directly to the arsenal, where the weapon was charged.
He was followed by two girls, and seeing that Bescika was not nervous, Natasha was relieved, even though the bottle was probably filled with something extremely dangerous.
Yang Mingzhi came suddenly, and Rygushkov was not prepared. The news of the successful experiment of the new explosives in Catfish Village has been learned, and it is said that the experiment was very spectacular, with a huge fireball rising from the ground, like a volcanic eruption.
He immediately informed the workers of the success of the experiment, which undoubtedly greatly strengthened the enthusiasm of the people and further stimulated the mood of the weapons design bureau.
Rygushkov thought that the chief was going to inspect the warehouse again, he was really confident in his heart, in just a few days the arsenal had produced a lot of output, and the warehouse was full of a lot, and this was the good result of the production movement!
However, Yang Mingzhi did not come here to inspect, this matter will be carried out later, he explained his intention to Rygushkov, and the experimental preparations were quickly prepared.
In the warhead charging workshop, Yang Mingzhi handed over the bottle and personally carefully poured the bottle of "chemical fertilizer" on the small scale until it showed that 200 grams had arrived. "These potions are actually chemical fertilizers, and soon the division commander will bring the remaining materials, and I will personally dispense them here this afternoon."
Riguskov was a little puzzled, but after learning that it was ammonium nitrate, he suddenly became enlightened, and directly suggested: "It is very good for us to use picric acid, if we use ammonium nitrate as a rocket propulsion, our rocket artillery can fly at least five kilometers." ”
"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi listened to him, and he was not idle at hand, still taking care of himself with the medicine. "We want to build rocket artillery, but the cost is too high, we can't make it in large quantities, and the range of five kilometers is too exaggerated."
"Then mix it into the black powder! At least it is possible to increase the firing range, and our rockets can fly two kilometers enough to be comparable to infantry artillery. ”
Yang Mingzhi didn't know this reason, the agricultural tool 107 of the plane PLA was a very simple and practical rocket artillery weapon, with a range of eight kilometers and particularly strong mobility. Often, when the enemy sees the rocket artillery smashing in, the counterattack artillery hits the enemy according to the position of the launch source obtained from the ballistic results calculated by the artillery sighting radar, and the people have already pulled the "farm tools" and run softly.
The 92 infantry gun made by small Japan has a maximum firing range of three kilometers, which is enough for tactical application, and its advantage is also relatively light and highly mobile.
"It's good to be able to reach two kilometers, and we can mass-produce rocket artillery in the future, so that when we put it into combat again, our army can prepare artillery fire at the beginning and give them more dense fire coverage." As he spoke, several ammonium nitrate trucks for the planned experiment were already packed in small cardboard boxes.
All the materials needed arrived, and the materials needed for the experiment were placed on a flat table.
Thundermercury, which reacts simply by impact, is carefully packed in a wooden box. Ammonium nitrate powder and sawdust are placed separately.
"All the materials are here, can you complete the experiment this afternoon?" Rygushkov asked curiously.
"Not busy yet." Yang Mingzhi knew that only when the respective ingredients were mixed in the right proportions could they be made into weapons. Just like black powder, the ratio of one Xiao, two carbon and three sulfur is not reasonable, and it is not appropriate to simply mix "chemical fertilizer" with wood chips here.
Like a chemist, Yang Mingzhi pinched the sawdust in front of everyone, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What? The chief thinks these sawdust are not qualified? Is it too wet? Rygushkov asked.
"Nope! It's very dry and the temperature is low, otherwise I wouldn't dare to put the fertilizer out like this. There was a real problem with the wood chips, they were too big and I needed to grind them into finer particles so I could experiment. ”
Rygushkov nodded in understanding, but he was still a little worried. "We can grind now, just like we grind charcoal, and if we don't use wood chips, wouldn't it be better to replace it with charcoal with more carbon."
"If we do it now, we won't need it." Yang Mingzhi immediately warned the man in charge of the production of the arsenal, "This kind of explosive is likely to become widespread in the future, and workers are not allowed to mix chemical fertilizer and charcoal together when loading weapons!" Because some friction can cause a violent reaction, we still use safer sawdust. ”
Rigushkov quickly understood this, and he said no more, saying only that grinding takes time.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "Originally, this work should have been completed in Catfish Village, and you are responsible for weapon assembly, and it is not everyone's job to do chemical work. I'm afraid I'm the only one who has experience in chemistry here, and you make the wood chips according to my requirements. It seems that I can't do experiments today, so I won't stop tonight to try to complete the experiment tomorrow. ”
