Chen Fu was stunned for a moment and said, "Captain Lin, what you said is true?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "When have I ever told a lie, you can tell others about this matter, and you don't have to hide it." Let me ask you again, did the merchant say when the Spaniards attacked? ”

Chen Fu shook his head, and Lin Fei smiled: "It doesn't matter, they can come whenever they come, I'm not afraid." ”

Chen Fu nodded in disbelief, his face full of disbelief, Lin Fei pointed to the people who were transporting ore with his hand, and said, "Let them hurry up and send saltpeter to the sugar factory." ”

When Chen Fu heard the order, he shouted a few words to the natives, and the natives began to undress, Lin Fei hurriedly asked Chen Fu, "Why are they taking off their clothes?" ”

Chen Fu explained: "We don't have a vehicle, so we can only wrap saltpeter in clothes and send it to the sugar factory. ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "What are you doing so troublesomely?" The big barrels were brought in, saltpeter was loaded into the barrels, and rolled to the sugar factory. On the way back, Chen Fu intended to see what Lin Fei had, so he told many people the news that the Spaniards were coming, including Liu Daming, who was sent out by Lin Fei to dig the soil, Liu Daming had just dug more than a dozen buckets of soil back, this time the digging place was different, these soils were called "No. 2 soil" by Lin Fei, and the previous digging was called "No. 1 soil".

Liu Daming was so anxious when he heard the news that he forgot to put down the shovel, and found Lin Fei with the shovel, and said anxiously: "Old Lin, have you heard?" The Spaniards are sending a large army! What are we going to do? ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "What are you panicking about?" Have you dug up your No. 2 soil? ”

When Liu Daming heard this, he immediately stomped his foot, threw the shovel in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "Dig a piece of soil!" The Spaniards are coming, and I think I might as well dig a grave for everyone, lest I have no place to live in Hades. ”

Lin Fei laughed again, and then he looked up at everyone, only to see that everyone was afraid, but Yu Xi'er's face was calm, but there were words in his mouth: "My lord God, I beg you to come down and radiate light from the highest heaven, to save your believers in suffering, and ask the Virgin Mary, who is a lifelong virgin, to pray on her behalf, A......men."

Lin Fei coughed lightly, attracting everyone's eyes to him, and said with a smile: "It seems that if I don't say my plan again, everyone's souls will be scared away, right?" ”

Everyone acquiesced to Lin Fei's statement with their eyes, and Lin Fei smiled: "Gather everyone, I'll tell you about my plan." ”

Everyone quickly gathered, and Lin Fei said loudly: "Tell everyone, what I asked you to do these days is to make weapons, one of which is artillery!" ”

Everyone was so shocked that they looked at each other, and Liu Daming said: "Lao Lin, don't talk nonsense!" Cannons have to be made of steel! Where is our steel? ”

Lin Fei said confidently: "Who said that the cannon must have steel, Chen Jingui, bring the things." Chen Jingui walked over with two natives carrying a medium-sized iron wine barrel, Lin Fei patted the wine barrel and smiled: "This is the cannon barrel!" ”

Liu Daming said with a smile: "The wine barrel is made of iron, and it is barely possible to make a cannon barrel." Although with the barrel, what about the propellant? What about shells? What about explosives? There must be explosives in the shells! A shell without explosives is an iron lump, how many people can be killed? ”

Lin Fei smiled, took out a paper bag from a native pocket, handed it to Liu Daming, and said, "Look what this is?" ”

Liu Daming opened the paper bag and saw that it was full of gray powder, pinched a little with his fingers and sniffed it under his nose, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Nitrocellulose? That's a great propellant! It's much better than the black powder used by our Zhiyuan ship, and Deng Daren advised him to change the propellant back then, but those corrupt officials refused to pay for any of them! Lao Lin, where did you get this thing? ”

Lin Fei smiled: "Inside the bullet." ”

Liu Daming asked, "What about the shells?" What do we use? What about the explosives inside the shells? ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "The shell can be replaced by an explosive pack, I have already figured out how to make the explosive, using whale oil, pyrite, saltpeter, you can make explosives!" ”

Liu Daming smiled: "Nonsense, these three things are not related, how can they make explosives?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "There may be a lot of things you can't understand in my words, you don't need to ask if you don't understand, the things in here are deep, I'll tell you slowly in the future, listen up!" Whale oil is an ester, which is an ester made of acids and alcohols, which can be decomposed into fatty acids and glycerol under certain conditions, and glycerol is also called 'glycerol'. ”

"Pyrite calcination can produce sulfur dioxide, which can be made into water, sulfuric acid can be prepared by reacting with saltpeter, nitric acid and sulfuric acid can be mixed and added to glycerin, which can be made into 'nitroglycerin', 'nitroglycerin', you have heard of it."

Yu Xier hurriedly replied at this time: "I heard this name when I was in England, this kind of thing was made by a person named 'Nobel', it is an extremely powerful explosive, much stronger than black powder!" ”

Lin Fei said: "Strictly speaking, nitroglycerin was not invented by Nobel, Nobel just invented the method to make it stable and made it into explosives, Nobel mixed nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth together, so that nitroglycerin became stable, and the No. 1 soil I asked everyone to dig is diatomaceous earth." ”

Liu Daming really didn't understand Lin Fei's explanation, and he didn't ask much, and then asked, "What is the No. 2 soil for?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "The role of No. 2 soil is even greater!" Its effect will be known when nitroglycerin explosives come out! ”

Although everyone didn't understand Lin Fei's explanation, but seeing that Lin Fei said it vigorously, they didn't say more, and did what Lin Fei told him, Lin Fei used the chemical reaction equipment of the sugar factory and the distillery to quickly make the first batch of nitroglycerin, and mixed the glycerin into diatomaceous earth to make nitroglycerin explosives.

In the manufacturing process, Lin Fei's requirements for weight ratio are extremely strict, and Lin Fei has unified weights and measures, so the power of explosives is guaranteed.

Lin Fei also asked the natives to use the twine on their clothes to make a rope, soaked in nitroglycerin, made a fuse, when launched, the heat of the propellant can ignite the fuse, so that the nitroglycerin explosive package exploded, this place Lin Fei specially adjusted the ratio of nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth, so that it can be detonated by the flame, if not adjusted, if you want it to explode, you have to use a detonator, Lin Fei is not yet able to make the core ingredient of the detonator - mercury thunderate.

The first batch of nitroglycerin explosives came out, and Lin Fei asked people to rush to the mountains by the sea with them, and Liu Daming asked, "What are we going to do again?" ”

Lin Fei pointed to the high mountain and said, "Do you see those stones?" It's all limestone, we blow them down with explosives and make cement! The second soil I asked you to prepare is clay, which is used to make cement. ”

Liu Daming asked, "Cement? What is cement? ”

Lin Fei replied: "A material for building fortifications, very hard. ”

Liu Daming nodded as if he didn't understand and asked, "What do we want cement for?" ”

Lin Fei said: "Ibayat Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, there is neither favorable terrain, nor defensive depth, if the Spaniards come to attack, they must adopt the method of encircling on all sides, the sugarcane plantations are not dangerous to defend, a horse and a flat river, it is a military dead land, we want to survive in the death, we must build fortifications, cement is the best choice, with cement, and then mixed with stones, you can make concrete, concrete is also a very hard material." ”

Liu Daming said: "But this island is so big, can we use a concrete wall to surround the entire island with just a few people?" ”

Lin Fei said: "It's impossible! I calculated, our current production capacity, we can only fence the ammunition depot first, and we will stick to the ammunition depot. ”

Liu Daming exclaimed: "Just guarding the ammunition depot, the sugar factory and the distillery are all thrown outside, do we ignore them?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head and said: "The sugar factory and winery were built by the Spanish businessmen with a lot of pesos, and they will definitely not destroy them, so we don't have to worry about them, as long as we can repel the Spaniards, the sugar factory and winery will still be ours!" ”

As the two spoke, they only heard the sound of explosions coming from the mountain wall, and the pieces of gravel had collapsed, and everyone loaded the gravel into large wine barrels, transported them back to the sugar factory, calcined them into cement, and then made concrete from cement, and began to build a fence more than two meters high and more than one meter thick outside the ammunition depot, with shooting holes, and everyone worked without sleep for three days, and finally built the concrete wall, and made a lot of nitroglycerin explosives, and wrapped them into explosives bags with cloth.

During these days, Lin Fei had the Pangu whaling ship cruise south of the island, and as soon as he spotted the Spanish ship, he immediately reported that the whaling ship was completely like a fishing boat, and the Spaniards would not care about it at all. Lin Fei selected another hundred natives and taught them to shoot and aim, which were used as "fixed batteries" when the Spaniards attacked.

On this morning, a sailor suddenly came to report: "Captain Lin, the Spanish fleet is here!" One destroyer, ten troop carriers! I am heading towards the pier on the south side. ”

Lin Fei nodded and said to Li Mingming: "Old Li, immediately let the brothers and the natives enter the ammunition depot and prepare for defense!" Sniper Squad, follow me! ”

The "Sniper Squad" consisted of five soldiers selected by Lin Fei from the infantry, and they had the highest shooting talent, and Lin Fei decided to take them with him, delaying, harassing, and depleting the Spaniards before they could attack the ammunition depot.

The soldiers of the sniper team stood up one after another, Lin Fei took out six Gillette camouflage suits, and sent them to everyone one by one, the Gillette camouflage suit is a camouflage suit with a strong camouflage effect, it is a must-have for snipers, this kind of clothing has a lot of drooping strips of cloth on it, and people wear it and hide it in the woods, which is completely indistinguishable from a bush.
