Rigushkov's equipment cast by traditional methods looks sturdy, and the huge bottles and pipes do not need to be subjected to particularly perverted pressures, because they are nothing compared to the pressure on the chamber when the shells are fired. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The pipes and bottles are also tightly fitted with screws, and then welded with heat welding technology.

Even though there are only a dozen skylights in this warehouse, only a few are currently open, and the light is relatively dim, standing in front of the huge cylinder, Yang Mingzhi can still see the welds on it.

"How about now? Comrade Salinchikin, speaking of which, these are the largest pieces of equipment ever made in our arsenal, at least I think they will be ready for use once they are assembled. Holding the jar, Yang Mingzhi asked carefully.

"Very good, it seems that there is no problem, but these devices are not particularly huge, and it is clear that their production capacity is also designed by you, and it is indeed only for our own use."

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Even if the fertilizer plant is built, the output of ammonia is probably more than ten tons, and in the end, the ammonium nitrate we need the most, the output of five tons is very satisfying, at least this is enough for our use." ”

"Five tons of such supplies." Salinchkin pinched his chin: "I don't know how much charcoal it takes to produce this, and how many trees need to be cut down." Since the material was very small in charcoal, did it not mean that a large number of logging teams should be formed in the collective farms? If we cut down all the trees, how can we hide them? ”

Yang Mingzhi smiled: "There is an ancient Oriental proverb that says that rabbits should never eat the grass of the hole." We are now like a herd of rabbits hiding in caves, the forests near Novgomel cannot be cut down, the trees are cut down from other places, and charcoal factories have been built in the forests. I am sure that these measures will not affect us. ”

"That's good, that's good. I'm still a little worried that if too many big trees are cut down, the loss of forest resources will be very bad, and I don't want that. ”

In this era, some people have proposed environmental protection? It's incredible!

In today's era, people should worship the towering chimney and the magnificent thick black smoke, even if the smoke is pungent and fragrant. For no other reason, the more smoke there is, the more it represents industrial capacity, and it is also a proof of the strength of the state apparatus.

These countries are taking the route of polluting first and then cleaning up, and the Soviet Union is no exception. Only now, Novgomel really has to pollute first!

Yang Mingzhi pretended to be regretful and spread his hands: "There is really no way!" We need fertilizer now because it's not a simple fertilizer at all! There is actually only one material we want to make, and that is ammonium nitrate! It can be used as a miracle fertilizer that makes potatoes grow like crazy and harvest three hundred tons of one hectare. It can also be mixed with wood chips to make an industrial-grade explosive that is much more powerful than black powder, and as a weapon, it is only weaker than TNT, but fortunately, it is better than we can produce it ourselves! ”

This Chinese is boastful, and Salinchkin is really enthusiastic.

Yesterday he heard from Yerentina that Novgomel still has to make fertilizers in the midst of the crisis, because this matter is not so simple at all.

Using chemical fertilizers as explosives, he had never heard of them. From the determined eyes of this Chinese, Salinchkin understood, they must have done experiments and proved that fertilizer explosives are excellent!

As this Belikov said, if it is true that they produce five tons of fertilizer every month, plus the ingredient sawdust, it is ten tons of explosives that are much more violent than black powder! There are so many products that I am afraid that they will not be able to use them up, so they can not be distributed to the nearby neighboring guerrillas, and this small fertilizer plant will be able to benefit all the partisans in the guerrilla zone south of Babruisk! With enough explosives, even if they are not as powerful as TNT, as long as the number can keep up, they can still blow up the railroad and derail the military train! It's exciting to think about.

These devices are here, and the future seems bright!

Salinchin couldn't help laughing, Yang Mingzhi could see that this was purely the man's excited laughter, and he was infected by the atmosphere, and he laughed aloud, and the entire visiting group was filled with happy smiles.

However, Rygushkov did not laugh, and even frowned a little, as if something was in his stomach.

Yang Mingzhi was happy for a while, still asking with excitement: "What's wrong?" Shouldn't you be happy, my factory director? These devices are your honor! ”

"Yes! Sir...... Yes. Actually, I've always had something that I should have told you a few days ago, but ......"

"Oh? You don't want to be distracted, so be it! Yang Mingzhi said briskly.

Salinchkin sighed, and said what he had been holding back for a few days, and as soon as he said a few words, Yang Mingzhi was completely shocked, and the joyful atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

……

"That's it, Comrade Deputy Division Commander, and Comrade Commissioner. In the past, we planned to use the olefins in charcoal to make the first stage of ammonia, but this was taken for granted! My knowledge of the chemical industry is very limited, and if I hadn't come into contact with that Ivanov, we wouldn't have been able to start the fertilizer plant project at all. In fact, the professor hid a lot from us, for example, that the reaction material he designed was not charcoal at all! ”

The reactive material is not charcoal ?!

"What? Not charcoal? You repeat, the reactive material is not charcoal ?! Yang Mingzhi was surprised.

This is really nonsense, from the fertilizer plant project, to now the equipment has been built, and it looks like it is almost assembled. I want to watch a banquet to celebrate this big event! As a result, this guy surnamed frog said that the reaction material is not charcoal ?!

Rigushkov repeated it three times, all in affirmative terms, saying that charcoal was only fuel for heating the stove, and that the material of the reaction was another substance.

"What do you say? Another kind of materiel? What is that? How do we get olefins without charcoal, and how do we make ammonia without olefins? Without ammonia, how can we carry out more complex reactions to make ammonium nitrate?! Yang Mingzhi's nervous heart beat wildly in an instant, like a racing car that couldn't stop the car! Questioning followed.

Seeing that the chief was so nervous, Ryguskov realized that he really shouldn't explain this matter at this juncture, and the chief obviously believed in the brightness of the future, so that now things seemed to have taken a hundred and eighty degree turn!

In fact, it is not like this at all, and the fact is not a bad thing, but a huge good thing.

Under the stern gaze, Rygushkov hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "Commanders! Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous! That Ivanov is really a scholar who bullied us for not knowing anything about chemical engineering! What he says and what he actually does are really two different things! We really don't use charcoal, and we can't produce the best coking coal, but!"

"But what? Don't grind! Yang Mingzhi stomped his feet anxiously and asked.

"Yes! Sir. We have a better alternative than charcoal, nothing else, peat! ”

Peat? Yang Mingzhi heard the word for the first time, and he explained it as "an intermediate between the earth and the coal mine", that is, muddy coal, peat!

Peat? It sounds like "your sister". Yang Mingzhi, who was nervous, was finally able to calm down a little, and he patted his chest and gasped: "Really, there is a better substitute than charcoal, why didn't you say it earlier?!" As a result, you were shocked when I was most happy, and if my heart couldn't stand it for a while, it would be terrible. ”

"Yes! Sir! I had planned to report this matter in person today, but I never thought that you would visit it in person early in the morning! Rygushkov looked embarrassed.

After all, this was a false alarm, and compared to the nervous Yang Mingzhi, Salinchin was more calm, and he continued to ask: "How is it?" Since peat is used instead of charcoal, does that sound like a type of coal? There are a lot of Mofenov Gomel? ”
