Is it possible that chemistry can be used in warfare?

Even though three months have passed, for Lin Weizhi, who is already a professor in the School of Chemistry at Northeastern University, he always thinks of the "wild thoughts" of Shibata Yoshishi when he was in Germany three months ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Weizhi, who had just been hired as a professor by the University Professors' Conference, walked silently on campus, and as he walked, he pondered the question, should chemistry be in war? This is not an unfamiliar subject, in fact, war is inseparable from chemistry at all, what explosives, ammunition, propellants, chemistry is almost the mother of war.

But this is obviously not Shibata Yoshi's idea, as a chemist, Lin Weizhi can imagine what his idea is, he hopes to apply one or more chemicals to war, as a secret weapon, on the battlefield to play a role in driving out people's imagination.

But what kind of chemicals can exert such a role?

"Senior Lin!"

Suddenly, while passing through the medical school, Lin Weizhi's thoughts were interrupted by the shouts of others. Following the voice, I saw a young man hurrying over.

"Senior Lin, congratulations on becoming the first Chinese professor in the Department of Chemistry!"

First, sometimes it is not difficult to get this first place, for Lin Weizhi, who is "a famous teacher" and has excellent grades, he was hired as a professor by the professors' conference after only two months as a teaching assistant, thus becoming the first Chinese professor in the Department of Chemistry, ending the monopoly of Western professors and Japanese professors.

In fact, this is a manifestation of the progress in education in the past seven years -- the emergence of Chinese professors means a breakthrough in China's higher education. Although almost no one will notice this. It's like no one notices. More and more textbooks at Northeastern University began to use Chinese in general.

"Are you...... Oh. Han Shanlin! ”

After a while, Lin Weizhi recognized who the young man in front of him was, a teenager from the Chung Hwa School, when there were insufficient teachers in the Chung Hwa School, Lin Weizhi had served as a teacher in the school with his classmates for a period of time.

"Yes, I didn't expect Senior Lin to remember me!"

"You're in medical school now?"

Noticing that he came out of medical school, Lin Weizhi couldn't help but carefully look at the young man in front of him, who was only twenty years old, and sighed in his heart at the change of time. Who would have thought that one day those orphans brought from China would be able to go to university and become doctors.

"Yes, Senior Lin, graduate in two months!"

"Graduation? Well, is it to go to the army as a military doctor, or to a hospital? ”

"Medic!"

When it came to his profession, Han Shanlin's expression was slightly unhappy, and he could even be said to be annoyed.

"Really? Honestly, you don't want to go, do you? ”

Aware of the change in his expression. Lin Weizhi asked with a smile, not everyone is willing to go to the army. Although the status of the military in the Northeast is really very high.

"A military doctor is also a soldier and must obey orders absolutely and cannot act according to his own will."

This is the reason why Han Shanlin refused to be a military doctor.

"I want to be a doctor in a private hospital, so that I can treat more people and help a lot of people...... Many people like me,"

It's not that Han Shanlin is unwilling to serve the army, more precisely, he is a street boy who hopes to help more people after graduation, like the street children who wandered the streets like him back then, which is the fundamental reason why he is unwilling to become a military doctor.

"However, military doctors can only stay in the army, and there are too many military doctors in the army, and now more than half of the medical students are assigned to the army, I really don't know why the army has so many military doctors......

Lin Weizhi didn't speak, but Han Shanlin's words revealed a message, the army seemed to be making some kind of preparations-what does a large number of military doctors mean? Meaning that the army seemed to be preparing for the worst, he thought of the argument between his friends - the inevitability of war.

Forced by the British, Russia's traditional southward expansion policy was forced to slow down, so Russia was bound to turn eastward. The construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway six years earlier and the subsequent demise of Japan were proof of this, which would inevitably lead to a conflict between the authorities and Russia.

"What is the real sorrow of the Northeast? With the determination to restore the nation, we have been working hard for many years, thinking that the nation is rising, but the princes in the interior regard us as outliers, and even do not hesitate to cooperate with the great powers to contain us! The sorrow of the Northeast is nothing more than the bond of the mainland princes, coupled with the threat of the evil neighbors in the north! War is not far off! ”

Thinking of the excited appearance of the classmates in the school, and then linking to Han Shanlin's words now, Lin Weizhi's mood couldn't help but feel heavy.

War is not far off......

"And what do you think?"

"Go ahead, since there is a need, then I can only obey."

Despite his dissatisfaction, Han Shanlin still chose to accept it, in fact, he had no other choice.

"Hmm...... Maybe, I mean maybe, we can work together! ”

Suddenly, a thought popped into Lin Weizhi's mind.

Since the war is not far from breaking out, he must make his own contribution to the war no matter what, and what is the most direct contribution? It is the use of chemicals in warfare as a secret weapon for victory.

But what are the chemicals that are suitable for use in warfare? As soon as he thought of this, Lin Weizhi felt a little dazed...... However, perhaps Han Shanlin, as a doctor, can give himself some help.

However, Lin Weizhi didn't want to tell him these inside information, not to mention that it was only a small part of his troubles. Now there is another question, that is, whether Han Shanlin can help himself in medicine.

"Cooperation? Senior Lin, do we cooperate? ”

While Han Shanlin was surprised, the student's question came to his ears again.

"Mountains and forests,"

Lin Weizhi suddenly asked.

"You're a doctor, maybe you can give me some medical advice?"

"Huh?"

Han Shan asked in surprise:

"I don't know what you mean. Medical advice? Senior, isn't it your physical ......"

"Not my body. You know. Right now. As we all know, the Western powers pose a great threat to us, especially the Russians, who have almost surrounded us on three sides, and in order to avoid their encirclement, our fleet even has to be deployed far away in the South Seas......"

Lin Weizhi seemed to exhale the sullen breath in his heart in one breath, and continued:

"This threat is like a fish in the throat, and we can't afford not to think about it. The military is thinking about it, so they need to prepare for war, so, they need a lot of medics, and yes, as a chemist, I don't think we should stay out of this war, and even we should be actively involved in it, after all. Once war breaks out, it will inevitably have a direct bearing on the Northeast. Even for the survival of China, we have made the slaves of the Manchus, and if they fall into the hands of Russia again, then this nation will no longer have any hope of recovery! ”

As he walked forward, Lin Weizhi's steps seemed a little heavy, and his voice was extremely low.

"In the future, I may not be able to become a pure chemical researcher, but my knowledge will not be wasted, I hope to be able to develop a chemical substance, a substance that can directly kill the enemy on the battlefield, so, I need you to give me some help in medicine!"

"Ahh

Looking at Senior Lin in horror, it was even difficult for Han Shanlin to combine the dignified expression of the "murderous" classmate, so that it took a while for him to speak.

"Medical advice?"

In the blink of an eye, Han Shanlin was a little confused:

"It's hard to understand what you mean all at once, so what advice can you give in medicine?"

Lin Weizhi was silent, yes, what advice can he give himself in medicine?

"This ......"

In addition to this confusion, Lin Weizhi said with a sense of mission.

"I want to know how to kill people most efficiently!"

On the road to the campus, Lin Weizhi put forward a seemingly simple, but very cold words. How to kill people most efficiently.

"What!"

Senior Lin's words made Han Shanlin tremble up and down unconsciously, and a burst of complicated emotions surged in his heart.

How to kill people most efficiently!

As a doctor, he never thought about saving people, never about killing people.

"I think that saving people and killing people has the intercommunication between them, since you know how to save people, then you naturally know how to kill, what kind of killing methods are more efficient, or rather, the effect is better?"

"This ......"

Han Shanlin said with his hand to bury his long hair. He was thin, with unhealthy pale skin, but his big eyes flashed with a hesitation, as if he was struggling with how to answer the question.

"I'm a doctor, I swore an oath ......"

"It's different, we are for the country and the nation, you see, in this school, there are so many naturalized professors, students, what about their country? If we don't make an effort, one day, we will be like them, in fact, our country has already perished, isn't it? ”

Lin Weizhi said solemnly.

"This ......"

Han Shanlin was silent, and the two walked forward silently.

"Bacteria, the Black Death, also known as the plague, once killed two-thirds of the population of Europe!"

"Oh?"

Lin Wei's heart moved. He had also heard of the notoriety of the Black Death, but on second thought, he realized the inadequacy of the Black Death.

"This can't work, kill a thousand enemies, self-damage eight hundred, there is no way to overcome the harm of bacteria to yourself, you don't need to think about this problem."

"Well, there is indeed such a problem."

At this time, Han Shanlin said softly while thinking.

"Poison, definitely not, poison should take into account the problem of delivery, after all, only by eating it, can it poison people, then, then, if it can be ...... in the air like bacteria"

"Gas!"

Lin Weizhi waited for a while, and then his face showed surprise:

"That's right, it's gas, it's gas, and if we can find the right chemical gas, it will definitely make a big difference!"

That's right, that's right, it's gas, and there's nothing more efficient than gas to kill, after all, everyone needs to breathe, and if there's a highly toxic gas, then it might kill all enemies.

"Well, gas is a good fit, and I'm a little worried about, is there such a gas?"

"And how to prevent such a highly toxic gas? We have to make sure that when we hurt the enemy, we can't hurt ourselves, Senior Lin, do you say that's the truth! ”

"Yes, yes, but now I'm going to find this gas first. I'll take my leave first, so that in the next few days, I will apply with the school and ask you to come over as an assistant, well, when we have results, the army will definitely not say anything! ”

Without waiting for Han Shanlin to speak, Lin Weizhi waved his hand, turned around and ran in the direction of the Department of Chemistry. Seeing his back, Han Shanlin sighed again.

Thinking about it, Senior Lin is a person he envies, he can do what he wants.

"Why can't I do what I want to do?"

Han Shanlin thought so, looked up at the already dim sky, and said silently:

"Actually, you can do that too......"

Lin Weizhi propped his hands on the table, and the test report recorded in German was open in front of him, but his eyes swept over the pages of the book blankly. In the report, he recounted the tests he had conducted in Germany, and in these tests, there were hundreds of gases, and now, the only thing that needed to be done was to find a suitable and highly toxic gas that could be used on the battlefield.

He had never thought about this problem before, but now, looking at the hundreds of gases in the forest, Lin Weizhi's brows were furrowed.

What kind of gas can kill people - this question is not correct, because Lin Weizhi clearly knows that some gases may be lethal, but they require high concentrations or have various restrictions on use.

You should choose a poison gas that is easy to make, cheap, and extremely "efficient", yes, poison gas!

The question is, what kind of poison gas is suitable for battlefield application?

"A dedicated laboratory is needed!"

Although it can be said that he has no clue, Lin Weizhi still quickly came up with an answer, that is, a special laboratory is needed for testing. So far, although it is not known that those gases can be put into the battlefield, at least one thing is necessary, biological experiments must be carried out to get the "poison gas" he needs.

That night, lying in the laboratory, Lin Weizhi, who was drawing laboratory drawings, did not know what he had created at this time, but in the outline of the pencil, the drawings of a closed laboratory with glass windows were slowly presented in front of his eyes.

In the dim wee morning, the rain fell at some point, and a small summer rain enveloped the city of Shenyang...... (To be continued.) )
