Chapter 37 The foundation of the military industry

Jiang Tao took Jiang Yi and the others to the factory site selected by Chen Haisheng in a truck, and when he got out of the car, Jiang Tao was thinking about what to exchange, he was now going to build an arsenal in earnest, but it was not the original small arms workshop. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe first step is to solve the ammunition problem.

When it comes to ammunition, there is one thing that is most important, and that is gunpowder, no matter what kind of thermal weapon it is, it is inseparable from gunpowder, mainly propellant and explosive. This can make Jiang Tao difficult, you must know that the gunpowder factory at this time has no foundation, most of the most common propellants in later generations are the use of nitrocellulose as the main raw material, in this era, the most common nitrocellulose is nitrocellulose, but the problem is here, let Jiang Tao choose nitrocellulose as the propellant, which means that the factory volume will be extremely low in a short period of time. Because the main raw materials for making nitrocellulose are nitric acid and sulfuric acid, it is too difficult for Taonan, which has no chemical foundation. As for other nitroguanidine and ammonium nitrate propellants, they rely on chemical synthesis, which has higher requirements for the process, and it is even more impossible.

Why don't you top it with black powder first? Jiang Tao thought to himself.

As for the explosives, Jiang Tao naturally chose the TNT explosives, which were the most technologically mature in later generations, and compared with the picric acid explosives used by the Japanese in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, TNT's safety and reliability were much stronger. And for the production of ammonia, the most important raw material in the manufacturing process, Jiang Tao has a full grasp. Since the German Haber invented the synthesis method of ammonia, the key factor restricting the synthesis of ammonia is the reaction vessel, you must know that the process of Haber's ammonia synthesis method is to blow water vapor above the hot coke, and almost the same volume of carbon monoxide and hydrogen can be obtained mixed gas. The carbon monoxide is further reacted with water vapor under the action of a catalyst to obtain carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The mixed gas is then dissolved in water at a certain pressure, and the carbon dioxide is absorbed to produce purer hydrogen. Similarly, water vapor is mixed with an appropriate amount of air, and through red-hot charcoal, the oxygen and carbon in the air will be absorbed and removed to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, so as to obtain the required nitrogen.

However, this reaction can only be carried out at a pressure of 500 degrees Celsius and 50 megapascals, so the reaction vessel has become a big problem, but here in Jiang Tao, as long as there are enough industrial points, everything is not a problem. On the one hand, the produced ammonia can be used as a raw material for manufacturing, and on the other hand, it can also solve Jiangtao's demand for nitric acid, and liquid nitrogen oxidation can be made into nitric acid.

As for the problem of sulfuric acid, Jiang Tao is not very worried, his plan is very simple, that is, to recover sulfur from coal and iron to make sulfuric acid, and use the Claus method to make the hydrogen sulfide in the coal incompletely burn, and then make the generated sulfur dioxide react with hydrogen sulfide to form sulfur. The purity of these sulfurs is quite high and can be used in the preparation of sulfuric acid and chemical production. In addition, he was able to recover the sulfur in pyrite to produce sulphuric acid when it was used to make steel.

However, this time Jiang Tao chose the steelmaking equipment is not the original small 1.5 tons of small open hearth, Jiang Tao, who has a lot of industrial points in his hands, this time he played a big one directly exchanged for a 10-ton open hearth, this open hearth is much better than the original 1.5 tons of open hearth, not only the output of steel has increased, even the quality of steel has also improved, according to the parameters in the system, the quality of steel made by this open-hearth furnace is enough to meet the steel requirements of most weapons during World War II. In fact, Jiang Tao originally wanted to exchange for an oxygen top blowing converter, but when he thought that he didn't have so much electricity in his hand to extract pure oxygen, he extinguished this idea.

After exchanging the things to be exchanged, Jiang Tao looked at the few remaining industrial points in his hand and felt a little heartache, and the industrial points that he had accumulated for more than half a year were almost spent. The rest of these industrial points don't seem to be able to change anything good, suddenly, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up, yes, the pot camel machine, you can change some pot camel machine, this thing can run around, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. Jiang Tao simply used up his hands, and the remaining industrial points were exchanged for two pot camel machines.

Looking at the emptied industrial site, Jiang Tao knew that he had almost laid a basic military foundation. Chemical plants, steel mills, power plants and a gunpowder factory. Seeing his achievements, Jiang Tao suddenly felt that when he was in class, the teacher told them how difficult it was for those older generation of military workers, and that without a system, even if they had excellent ideas, they could not realize them. These thoughts can only be buried in the depths of the mind. They sometimes have to solve problems with some dirty methods that seem clumsy and laborious. But more often than not, there is only a helpless sigh.

This also strengthened Jiang Tao's determination to build troops for the country. Since he crossed with this system, he must have the meaning of his own crossing, this country that has suffered a lot, he will cast the sharpest soldiers for him, the strongest armor, so that the country will no longer bear so many humiliations, and the territory of the land of China will not shrink, and China will let the Quartet come to congratulate.

Jiang Tao stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said to Jiang Yi, "Jiang Yi, you take people to guard this place, and no one is allowed to enter except me, and find a few new faces to drive in and out of here every day." Don't forget. Jiang Tao knew that it would be a big trouble for his system to be exposed, and he couldn't hide it if he could redeem so much equipment, so he wanted to try to delay the time when this trouble appeared, and have the power to protect himself before this trouble detonated. Therefore, making these arrangements can somewhat confuse some people with ulterior motives.

Walking back to the station slowly, Jiang Tao looked at Chen Haisheng who was waiting in front of his room and had a headache. "I said Director Chen, you don't have to wait for me here."

"You kid, who knows if you take my business to heart, let me tell you, it's the top priority."

"Well, I got in touch with a friend of mine from a foreign company, and he said he could help us get equipment for the chemical plant, the ironworks, the power plants, and the gunpowder factory."

"Really, don't fool my old man." Chen Haisheng pulled Jiang Tao excitedly.

"Quick, loose." A trace of bruises had already appeared in the place where Jiang Tao was pulled by Chen Haisheng just now. "But this arsenal has said that it will not belong to the Northeast Army, but to the whole of China, as long as it is an anti-Japanese army, we have to provide them with ammunition."

"I don't care what you say, what I want is to rebuild an arsenal, and the rest is up to you," Chen Haisheng said
