In 1822, chemist M• Deprets first discovered and tried to produce dichlorodiethylsulfide by reacting sulfur dichloride with ethylene, but there is no description of irritating products in his test records;

In 1854, the French chemist Alfred • Richie repeated De Pretz's experiment, but there was still no description of the irritating product;

One eight?? In [Note], the German chemist Albert • Niemann repeated the same experiment again, and finally obtained a record of the stimulation of blisters by the reaction products;

In 1860, the chemist Frederick•Guserret synthesized and studied the compound, and he also mentioned its pungency—especially the taste;

In 1886, the German chemist Victor • Meyer published a paper on the purification of high-purity dichlorodiethylsulfide compounds, and mentioned the adverse effects of this compound on human health [Note 2]......

Dichlorodiethyl sulfide, or mustard gas, is in fact not a newly discovered compound, and its synthesis and purification have already been completed - but despite this, Elizabeth still has to do a lot of research on her own. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info When she was in college, she had never read the material, and even if she did.

Because Meyer's method was improved in 1913 by the British chemist Hans•T•Clark, and became the standard method for the production of mustard gas in the Second German Reich in World War I, Qin Lang needed this new and improved method.

And now, Elizabeth is done with her job.

"I made it." She exclaimed, excitedly, "I have synthesized dichlorodiethyl sulfide." ”

Qin Lang seemed to be confused for a moment, but soon, when he finally figured out what she was talking about, a happy expression immediately appeared on his face. "You succeeded? It's wonderful, Elizabeth. ”

"Yes, great, I've had another success." She continued to call.

"You're a genius." He complimented.

"Oh, no, I'm not." Obviously, Elizabeth was not completely carried away by the joy of success, at least she remembered the role Qin Lang played in her own research process, "Without the information and inspiration you gave me, maybe it would take me a long time to complete it." Qin, you are a genius. ”

"Actually, I just happen to know something about someone else's work, and that's it." This is a big truth; Although Elizabeth didn't think it was the truth, Qin Lang now wanted to tell the truth he understood. He shook his head. "I don't deserve the title of 'genius', it should only belong to you, Elizabeth."

"I—"

"Enough! You two, can you behave normally? Rachel's cry reached Elizabeth and Qin Lang's ears at an inopportune time, and they looked at her at the same time, and found that she was glaring at her with an angry face on her face.

Rachel seemed angry. From the very beginning, she was in a state of confusion because she didn't understand what Qin Lang and Elizabeth were talking about; What is "dichlorodiethyl sulfide"? She had never heard of such a thing—but unfortunately, Qin Lang and Elizabeth didn't seem ready to explain, and not only that, but they also began to compliment each other, much to Rachel's annoyance and disgust.

So she screamed, and Qin Lang and Elizabeth immediately stopped, but they looked confused. "Rachel, what's the matter?"

"Can you please refrain from complimenting each other in front of me? It makes me feel ...... Very uncomfortable. She replied. Of course, the most important thing now is to ask: "Also, what is dichlorodiethylsulfide?" ”

Qin Lang glanced at Elizabeth - as if there was a tacit understanding, she was also looking at him, and then they shrugged their shoulders at the same time, and began to say at the same time: "That's ......"

This undoubtedly made both them and Rachel feel a little awkward, so they both stopped at the same time and looked at each other again. They exchanged a few glances, and then Elizabeth nodded to Qin Lang and made a "please" gesture. "Qin, you explain."

"Okay." Qin Lang explained to Rachel: "Dichlorodiethyl sulfide, that's what I asked Elizabeth to study, of course, we can change it to a more popular name and you already know it, mustard gas." ”

Rachel had indeed heard the name, and she knew it was a highly toxic chemical with a pungent odor similar to mustard or garlic. In fact, from the day Elizabeth began to study it, she and Qin Lang began to mention the term repeatedly in their conversations, and sometimes, they would also mention it in their conversations with her.

Now, of course, it seems that mustard gas, which is just the general name for that highly toxic chemical, is officially called "dichlorodiethionole", which is rather awkward.

"So," Rechel began to grow more disgruntled as Rachel figured it out, and she reproached her cousin, "Elizabeth, why don't you just call it mustard gas?" And to use a title that I haven't heard before? ”

"I'm sorry, dear little Rachel." Elizabeth spread her hands, "I'm just too excited. ”

"Of course, you're excited, my dear cousin, it's just that when you're excited, you're still thinking about using a noun that at least Qin can understand, maybe you should think more about your poor cousin." Rachel continued to complain.

"I told you, and I'm sorry for that."

"Elizabeth, when you feel sorry, you should show more sincerity than a simple sentence." Of course, she didn't mean anything else, except that Rachel divided all of the company's research projects into two categories: those with commercial value and those with no commercial value, and the question now is which mustard gas belongs to.

"Tell me, what's that thing for?" She asked.

Elizabeth turned her head to Qin Lang, as if asking for an opinion, and then replied in two words. "Kill."

"Mustard gas can be a new weapon." Qin Lang added, "A pretty good weapon of mass destruction. ”

Rachel pondered for a moment. "Can you show me?"

"Absolutely."

Like all chemical and biological weapons research labs, Elizabeth's lab was set up in a remote location far from the city, and it took them nearly an hour to get there, despite a horse-drawn carriage ride.

Of course, Rachel had visited Elizabeth many times, but this time, as soon as she stepped out of the carriage, she felt something different from what she had done before—most notably, a previously unused chimney behind the lab was spewing black smoke out of the sky, making the sky look a little darker.

"What's going on?" She asked curiously.

"Incineration chamber." Elizabeth replied simply, in a calm tone—so it seems.

Qin Lang glanced at her, but didn't say anything, while Rachel didn't notice it at all, she continued to ask, "What's going on there, Elizabeth?" ”

"Deal with something." After a pause, Elizabeth gestured, "Let's go, Rachel, let's go in." ”

They walked into the lab together. However, Elizabeth did not take Rachel to the room where she synthesized mustard gas, nor did she take her to the room where mustard gas was stored, but instead led her to a room that looked like a breeding room. Through the glass, Rachel saw that there were many ...... lying inside Rabbits that have died.

And it was a disgusting-looking dead rabbit: for some reason, but all the rabbit's fur had been shaved, and its bare skin looked like it had been badly burned, and the red and swollen surface was either covered with blisters or festering......

Rachel felt that she couldn't take it anymore, and she turned her head to look at Elizabeth. "What the hell is going on?"

Rachel became a little annoyed again. The purpose of her visit to the lab was to see mustard gas and test its killing effects, not to visit some extremely disgusting rabbits...... Wait a minute. "These rabbits," she said slowly, with some disbelief and fear in her voice, "were all killed by mustard gas?" ”

"In fact, I had already synthesized some dichloride yesterday...... mustard gas, but it took me a little time to test its effects. Elizabeth replied, "Of course, now you have seen the results." ”

"My God." Rachel drew a cross on his chest. "Elizabeth, how many rabbits did you kill?"

"Four hundred. Most of it has been soaked in lime water and sent to the incineration chamber, and now you see only a small part. ”

"How did you kill so many rabbits?"

"It was a small mistake, I didn't expect it to be so effective." Elizabeth still seemed to be calm—but in fact, both Qin Lang and Rachel could hear the fear in her tone.

Of course they all knew what she was afraid of, and in fact Rachel was worried. She looked at Qin Lang. "You're going to use it militarily?"

"There is no doubt that it is." Qin Lang replied nonchalantly, and his gaze was still focused on those rabbits, "I have already said that mustard gas is a weapon of mass destruction, which can help our army quickly defeat our opponents and minimize the losses we may suffer. ”

Rachel bit her lip and looked extremely unnatural. "But the use of mustard gas to attack opponents clearly lacks ...... Human nature. ”

"War has neither humanity nor morality, killing is the only means, and the ultimate goal is only one: victory." Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Rachel, the process is insignificant, only the result is the most important." ”

Note: It is not known exactly what year Niemann did the experiment, but he died in 1861, so it must have been before the experiment, and by the way, Niemann was a synthesizer of cocaine

Note 2: Meyer's assistant was poisoned during the experiment, in order to test whether the assistant was a mental illness, he did an experiment with rabbits, and found the toxicity of mustard gas (to be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log in to the WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
