Chapter 843: The Use of Ammonia

Yang Mingzhi put his hands behind his back, he believed that nothing would go wrong, so he stood not far from the fertilizer plant, immersed in the stinking ammonia that overflowed, admiring this large equipment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just like an ordinary high-polluting fertilizer plant, because before the black smoke from the peat burning has been treated, a pillar of optimus metal pipes is spewing thick black smoke, which soars like a signal tower.

"It doesn't look like it's going to be a problem, the ammonia is being produced in a steady stream, and when it cools down to room temperature, we can move on to the next process." Ivanov introduced with great interest.

The so-called next process is to purify the ammonia water, and the impurities are completely removed to obtain purity. Eventually, in a chemical reaction, ammonium nitrate hydrate is produced continuously, and when the water evaporates, a large number of white crystals of high-energy explosives and the best nitrogen fertilizer are mass-produced.

All this is no longer a luxury, at least the smelly ammonia is a kind of primary nitrogen fertilizer, and it can even be said that these have been packed into empty oil drums, full of impurities and stinking black liquid, sprinkled in the potato field, can urge the roots to expand wildly!

Yang Mingzhi watched it with relish, so he asked Ivanov: "You are still most familiar with the complex chemical reaction in the stuffy tank, please tell me, when will I see the first ammonium nitrate?" ”

"The fastest will be this evening!"

"So fast?" Yang Mingzhi couldn't believe it, and glared at the old scholar ecstatically: "The factory was built last night, and it will produce results today?" ”

"Of course! As per the procedure, we have been given five barrels of concentrated ammonia, which have cooled down and the pressure has been reduced. After the carbon powder is put in to adsorb impurities, there are only two processes left! ”

Yang Mingzhi hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't need to delve into chemistry." Now that you've mapped out the roadmap, I'm here to wait until I can get the fertilizer in my hands. ”

"It's inevitable!" Ivanov smiled confidently again.

Novgomel did not have professional chemical workers, but now it is a group of trained ones. Most of these people were Riguskov's subordinates, and after being trained by Ivanov's students, they basically knew some chemical knowledge. And because the so-called fertilizer factory is just a hundreds of times the volume of the bottles and cans in the laboratory, it can be said that it is already a huge experimental equipment.

The only difference may be the billowing smoke. There are so many impurities in the peat that it burns like wolf smoke when it is dry. Today's wind is not strong, and the black smoke will go straight to the sky.

Rygushkov's face tensed slightly, and when he saw the look of anticipation on the face of the chief, after some ideological struggle, he walked over.

He pointed to the chimney and said worriedly: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander! It's a good thing that the fertilizer plant is put into operation, but the smoke is too dazzling! If the enemy sends reconnaissance planes to search, on a clear day, they can even detect this black smoke from more than ten kilometers away, and then the location of the fertilizer plant will be exposed, and we will ......"

Yang Mingzhi raised his right hand and told him to shut up.

How did you not know about this extremely striking black smoke? "The smog needs to be solved, and we have to build up the wooden factory, so the workers who stay here need a comfortable working environment." If we want to turn this place into a truly state-run fertilizer plant, we need to have all kinds of facilities. There are still a lot of facilities to build, but I'm really anxious right now, I want more ammonium nitrate! ”

Yang Mingzhi could emphasize the word "ammonium nitrate", his eyes looked at the northern horizon, pointed to Gomel and Lechtsa is direction, and continued: "I need ammonium nitrate very much now, only this thing can give rocket artillery a strong thrust. Mass production of rocket artillery is already in full swing in the arsenal, and this thing will be used in conjunction with our traditional rocket-boosted grenades. One is responsible for medium and close bombardment, the other is responsible for long-range bombardment.

You know, it's more than producing fertilizer to explode potato yields. I'd rather have every squad in my unit armed with a lot of these ranged weapons. After all, we will soon have to act on a large scale, and our army must be ready before the operation!

Therefore, the camouflage measures are thrown aside, if our army beats the Germans again with advanced equipment, and the enemy is afraid, what else do we have to camouflage? ”

Rygushkov understood the words of the chief, and he responded: "So, until the raw materials we brought this time are completely produced, we will not camouflage the factory for the time being?" ”

"yes!" Yang Mingzhi let out a long sigh, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart. "It's a gamble for me, because if we add new steel pipes and bring black smoke into the pool to purify, it will inevitably shut down the fertilizer plant. Now that the machine is at full power, it has to be produced for me! At this critical moment, it is better for the German reconnaissance planes not to fly over. Even if it flies over, we'll have to find a way to shoot it down. ”

Rygushkov nodded, and his attitude tended to be optimistic: "Yes, in January, our troops destroyed the front-line airfields of the German army, and where did their reconnaissance planes take off?" The fighting ended on April 1, and it was already the third week that the Germans had not moved. ”

"Maybe the crisis is behind this calm!" Yang Mingzhi said meaningfully, this philosophy is very clear to everyone.

Rigushkov was shocked and fully understood what the commander meant: "The Germans are either tightening their defenses, or they are reorganizing their troops with the intention of large-scale encirclement and suppression, so we must hurry up and produce all the ammunition." ”

"If you know! So you also have to say hello to the comrades in the arsenal and produce as much ammunition as possible. In future battles, the amount of ammunition consumed will be amazing! ”

……

While talking and laughing, there was already a large amount of black smoke in the sky, and it seemed to be spraying to a height of 10,000 meters!

This strange sight was naturally seen by Joshua and her female soldiers, and even the workers digging for sulfur in the mines.

Since Yang Mingzhi was in Henschel, he investigated the current situation of the prisoners of war. Primarily for financial gain, supplemented by sympathy, the POWs at least wore gas masks and even wrapped coarse cloth around their hands as gloves.

Whether this is done well or not, Qiao Shuya can't see anything for the time being, but the female soldiers on duty who stay in the mine are more closely guarded! They were, after all, Germans, and under national hatred, the White Russians would never trust them. Since they wore protective masks, the overseers could not see their faces, so they tied them around their waists with ropes and connected them to each other.

The same is true of Henschel, who consciously feels like a slave laborer of the ancient Romans, but now he does not have to be dizzy from the stench of sulfur, and is it not also a blessing?

One company of Soviet troops was placed in the mines, and the remaining two companies were used for daily physical training.

The female soldiers are doing the traditional armed off-road, which is a great test for many new female soldiers. In the ranks of the Soviet army, it was inevitable that female soldiers would be looked down upon, and Joshua did not believe in this evil, so she forced her subordinates to step up training, and because of the incident of the Oolong attack on the deputy division commander, all training was doubled.

Women are trained like men, everyone carries heavy bags and a full set of equipment, and today's training is a 15-kilometer march!

Yang Mingzhi, who was standing in the fertilizer factory area, vaguely heard the military songs sung by the female soldiers in their feminine voices, and also heard their panting.

The female soldiers would pass the fertilizer plant by the road and make a large circle back to the barracks. Yang Mingzhi had no intention of talking and laughing with the female soldiers again, and his eyes only had the thick black smoke of the fertilizer factory.
