Chapter 211 Methyl tert-butyl ether

"Let's get started."

Master Zhou Lin roared, alarming Li Baoqiang, who was contemplating, and everyone dispersed in a hurry, and followed Zhou Lin back to the temporary repair station to continue his work.

These people are full of food and drink, full of spirit, and they seem to have endless energy, but they are good at smoking and drinking, and these people are full of energy.

Li Baoqiang called Huang Kai, and Huang Kai seemed to see that Li Baoqiang had something in his heart, Huang Kai sat quietly on the side, waiting for Li Baoqiang to speak,

Li Baoqiang held a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't take a few puffs, and his mind was a little trance-like.

Huang Kai didn't know why Li Baoqiang suddenly had something on his mind, and was about to ask, Li Baoqiang's eyes suddenly brightened,

"Chief of Staff, let's go to Russia." Li Baoqiang's words were amazing,

"Well, this, Commander, your thinking is too jumpy."

Huang Kai was stunned by Li Baoqiang's words, his mouth was wide open, and it took a long time for a sentence to come out.

"Hey, a little jumpy, a little adventurous." Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a greedy smile,

"Now in this world, support the bold to death, starve to death the cowardly, our side has suffered heavy casualties, I estimate that the Russian side is no better, just take advantage of the chaos to get a handful."

When Li Baoqiang says this now, he doesn't look like a general at all, but more like a gang boss.

"This, don't act rashly, from Sichuan to Russia, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, there are so many military groups in the middle, and there are also surviving armies in Russia, which are not easy to mess with."

Huang Kai said little by little the hidden worries that he could think of in his heart,

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, we have to plan this matter well, but we don't act now."

Li Baoqiang dispelled Huang Kai's doubts,

"You make a plan, my idea is to make all kinds of drawings, lay a good foundation for our military industry, and by the way, it is better to get some experts back."

Li Baoqiang set the tone for action,

"Okay, no questions."

Huang Kai put his mind at ease, and then he had to be busy for a while, at least where those design bureaus were to figure out.

In this apocalypse, there is no network, and there is no information to find those design bureaus, not to mention that in the previous life, these design bureaus were also confidential units, and it is indeed a bit whimsical to get the drawings back, but it's ......

Huang Kai's head flashed, he had a good idea,

"I came up with a way, we don't have to go to the design bureau, we can also find a few small military airfields on the border on the military map, there should be an aircraft maintenance workshop, it is estimated that the spare parts drawings or something should be in stock, and if it is done well, a lot of spare engines can also be obtained."

Huang Kai changed his thinking and boldly put forward his ideas, which did not sweep Li Baoqiang's face, and at the same time achieved a great goal.

"Yes, the chief of staff really has a few moments, come, go one."

Hearing Huang Kai's thoughts, Li Baoqiang patted his head and understood that he had also gone into a misunderstanding.

It seems that I want to be enchanted by the plane, but when I get to Russia, the situation may change at any time, and I can only take one step at a time.

The two touched the bowl, dried two or five grains, and fell into contemplation again,

"Commander, you are from the navy, why are you so interested in aircraft, it won't be because I am the chief of staff, I love the house and Wu, hehe."

Huang Kai found a topic to break the dullness,

"Lao Huang, although I am a small soldier, hehe, I have also read a few military books."

Li Baoqiang drank a pound and a half of Wuliangye today, and the wine was a little big, and he was excited, and he talked a little too much.

"On a trip to Kyoto, I was wounded by a fighter jet; When I returned, I was captured by the dragon and the twenty Wuzhi ten; The two Wuzhi planes of Panzhihua have caused me heavy losses, and I also want to have fighters, and I also want to have the sky. ”

"I firmly believe that whoever owns the sky owns the whole earth, especially in the last days when this moment is going backwards."

"And I need your help, I think in the future maybe I can have my own spaceship, carry out interstellar travel, expand the living space of earthlings, and find a beautiful Avatar, a new home for earthlings."

Li Baoqiang was already slightly drunk, he was talking about bold words, his mind was slowly chaotic, and he fell asleep on the table with his head down.

Huang Kai is also a little drunk, their air force is actually better able to drink, training weekdays, on duty with bullets, the spirit is very tight, in order to relax the nerves, in addition to fitness is drinking, slowly also practiced the amount of alcohol,

But today Huang Kai is very clear about his identity, he is not only a fighter pilot, but also the chief of staff of the Civil Defense Force, and he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, so everyone drinks to the fullest, Huang Kai is very good at drinking, and he controls it very well.

It's just because of Li Baoqiang's Top Gun that his heart, which is close to thirty, also jumps with him.

Huang Kai looked down at Li Baoqiang lying on the table, this guy is young, capable, enthusiastic, benevolent, after just a few months of contact, he has left a good impression on pilots such as Huang Kai and Li Jun.

"Okay, let the eldest brother help you accomplish this beautiful ideal, although tens of millions of people will go to it."

Huang Kai planted a seed in his heart, and he will water this seed with his blood, so that he can grow into a towering tree that shelters Li Baoqiang from the wind and rain.

"Alas, this plane is going to fly, and ordinary gasoline is really not good, so I'll help you solve this problem first."

Huang Kai shook his fist violently, as if he was cheering himself up, as if he wanted to break through many obstacles,

Even if the first five coaches are old, they must use aviation gasoline, not ordinary gasoline, of course, the leaded and unleaded gasoline on the market before the end of the world can replace aviation gasoline.

But Huang Kai knew that the two-stroke piston engine on the first five was more precise than the engine of an ordinary car, and the engine failure could not be caused by oil, otherwise it would be a murder of the pilot.

Aviation gasoline is generally less volatile than motor gasoline and less likely to vaporize, and today's aviation gasoline is not much different from when it was introduced in the 1950s and early 1960s, still relying on the addition of highly toxic tetraethyl lead to increase the octane number.

It's a pity that Huang Kai found that the gasoline collected by the Civil Defense Army, because there is no separate storage, various types of gasoline are mixed together for the vehicles of the Civil Defense Army and the autonomous region and for power generation, such gasoline must not be used in the aircraft, otherwise it will corrode the engine and not produce enough power, which is very dangerous.

The only way is to continue to purify these gasolines, and add tetraethyl lead or methyl tert-butyl ether to increase the octane number of gasoline and improve the anti-knock resistance of gasoline, so as to turn it into aviation gasoline for aircraft use.

According to the current conditions of the autonomous region, only methyl tert-butyl ether can be produced.

The principle of its preparation is very simple, using methanol and tert-butanol as raw materials, under the catalysis of dilute sulfuric acid, accelerate the dehydration and synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether, but the intermediate process is indeed very dangerous, methyl tert-butyl ether is flammable and volatile, and there is a risk of explosion in case of fire and heat source.

"Danger, danger is a big problem."

Huang Kai frowned, his facial muscles became tense, his brain was spinning rapidly, and suddenly Huang Kai thought of a solution, and his smile reappeared,
