Chapter 746: The Acid Properties Are Incredible
There are still many things in this world that science cannot explain, at least Yang Jing thinks.
It is said that there is also a statistic that most Nobel laureates are actually theists, and the more they know, the more they are in awe of the unknown.
At the beginning, Copernicus and Bruno put forward some heliocentric theory, and as a result, people were burned at the stake, because the scientific and technological minds of the time still could not understand their whims.
So, who can guarantee that today's technology is the answer to all problems, and who can guarantee that phenomena or things that cannot be explained by these sciences really do not exist?
Yang Jing is also a person who advocates science, science promotes the progress of mankind and brings benefits to mankind, but he still maintains an attitude of preferring to believe what science cannot explain.
There are also many scientific explanations for the spontaneous combustion of the human body, but there are different opinions, and some people even question the authenticity of the incident.
In some cases, these spontaneous combustible people are either overweight and have oil deposits in their bodies, or they are heavy drinkers, accumulating too much combustible substances in their bodies, and so on.
There are also those who believe that it is a mysterious force, or a mysterious substance, in short, it seems that no one has been able to get the truth.
Yang Jing didn't expect that he would be able to see such a strange scene with his own eyes in this era, and it was not an exception!
As he had assumed earlier, if this was a man-made murder, then the people behind the scenes must have mastered the fuel that could have ultra-high temperatures, or was there no real culprit behind the scenes, and the whole incident was just an accident?
Yang Jing has no clue at the moment, so he can only start with the most basic on-site investigation.
He had carefully read all the confessions collected by Li Zhun and others, and the quarantine camp was a key protection area, and he was not allowed to enter or leave at will without a warrant.
A number of quarantine barracks have been set up in the surrounding area, and these barracks are full of contacts who have not been infected or have not yet developed symptoms.
These contacts were very resistant and emotionally unstable, because they did not sleep at night, and many of them were angrily discussing the unfair treatment they had received, so there should have been many witnesses.
But none of these people noticed that strangers entered and left the quarantine camp at will, and the only ones who went in and out were the military doctors who prevented the epidemic, the leaders of the food delivery team, and the sergeants who patrolled.
Li Zhun and the others were not soldiers, and Yang Jing had not yet given them official status, because they could not mobilize personnel to investigate, so they could only ask Zhang Changling to gather all the people who had entered and exited.
But the head of the meal delivery team delivered the meal as early as the evening, and since then has not entered the isolation camp, and the only thing left is the military doctor on duty at night and the sergeant on patrol.
Yang Jing temporarily put aside these worries and focused on the examination of the corpse.
There are indeed no traces of burning in the barracks, because the barracks are set up on the dirt ground, the footprints are clear, but after comparison, there are not too many surprising places.
Yang Jing also noticed the problem mentioned by Li Zhun, that is, the smell of garlic in the air, and deduced that it was the burning smell of combustibles such as white phosphorus.
In the absence of chemical analysis conditions, Yang Jing could not make a judgment and could only examine the body first.
The upper body of the corpse had been scorched, the skin and flesh had long been burned, and the bones had been burned to a brittle and white color, and he once thought that half of these people had been thrown into the incinerator!
"Incinerator..."
Yang Jing couldn't help but think that there were craftsmen from the Shenhuo Camp in the barracks, Du Kefeng and others were all grandmaster-level craftsmen, and with the creative support of Yang Jing, they made refractory bricks out of clay, and also added a regenerative chamber to the traditional iron-melting furnace, this small change can greatly increase the temperature of the furnace, which is conducive to their training of steel.
It's a pity that Du Kefeng and others have tried for so long, but they still can't refine usable steel, and even scrap steel is a little reluctant.
Yang Jing didn't have any concept of industrial steelmaking, but vaguely remembered that he had seen a movie at the beginning, which contained a detailed plot of the whole people using the soil method to make steelmaking in that special period, so he asked Du Kefeng and others to build a lot of earthen kilns to do experiments, but the effect was still not ideal.
Indigenous steelmaking is considered to have relatively low technical requirements, but compared with the industrial base of later generations, in the Song Dynasty, it was a challenge to manufacture highly refractory materials such as silica bricks.
Without further ado, although they have not been able to refine good steel, the team of craftsmen of the Shenhuo Camp has been able to raise the temperature of the furnace to a very high level, and it is completely possible to use it as an incinerator!
"Will someone throw these people into the furnace?" Yang Jing also reasoned as well, but these herpes virus patients had entered the advanced stage, they were emotional, crazy, scratching and scratching, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
In addition, Yang Jing has repeatedly ordered and made popular science on the contagiousness of the herpes virus, and now everyone is afraid of it, who will steal these patients out?
Even if someone is so bold, it is impossible for those who have contact with the surrounding barracks not to be seen, and it is impossible for there to be no witnesses!
Yang Jing even suspected that these people were beheaded first, and they only needed to steal their upper bodies, incinerate them, and then bring them back to create such a scene.
Unfortunately, it is not realistic, and the lower body of the corpse does not have a knife and axe cut, and there are no traces of waist cutting.
The inside of the corpse had been burned, but judging by the burning condition of the remains, the internal burn was relatively sufficient, while the exterior was still hard.
From this, it can be concluded that maybe the flame really burned from the inside, could it be that this is really an accidental spontaneous combustion of the human body?
Fortunately, the lower half of the corpse is still there, although it has been amputated from the pelvic area, and almost all the organs with forensic value have been burned, but what makes Yang Jing feel fortunate is that there is still half of the bladder in the pelvis of the corpse that has not been burned!
Although it was already shriveled and atrophied, after Yang Jing cut open his bladder, he still found something!
The urine in the bladder has been scorched and evaporated, but there are some fatty semi-condensates in the bladder!
With Yang Jing's existing conditions, simple tests such as analyzing the pH of these things can still be done, but when it comes to analyzing specific ingredients, it is not enough.
And Yang Jing didn't need to analyze the ingredients at all, because he tried to ignite it, but the thing only melted into a liquid, not burned.
Since it can't be burned, it means that it has nothing to do with the spontaneous combustion incident, but Yang Jing will not ignore this clue when this unknown substance appears in the bladder.
After the thing melted, it became a little clearer, and you could see the black substance suspended in it, which was ash and something like that.
Just when Yang Jing wanted to give up, the entire bladder began to smoke, and the skin and flesh began to become charred and black, emitting a corrosive stench!
"Is it the acid from the animal?"
Yang Jing couldn't help but be surprised!
He didn't expect that the acid of the evil Jiao could be solidified, thinking of the fight with the evil Jiao last night, Yang Jing had a bold idea in his heart!
He looked around, and found half a bucket of water outside the camp gate, so he scooped a scoop and tentatively poured some water into it, and the acid in his pelvis boiled!
Yang Jing tore off a small strip of cloth, lit it and threw it into the boiling acid, the strip of cloth had not completely fallen, igniting the steam of the boiling acid!
The blue flame sprouted in the steam, and then grew rapidly, and with a boom, the flames scurried up, even taller than Yang Jing's head, almost setting Yang Jing on fire!
When Yang Jing subdued the evil Jiao, he had already discovered that the acid of the evil Jiao is a special biological acid, which is corrosive in its pure state, and it will become a combustible substance with unstable properties when it encounters water!
"It's really the acid of that animal!"
Yang Jing's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly checked the other corpses, but unfortunately the other corpses were relatively completely burned, and he couldn't find tissues such as the bladder, but he found a thumb-sized semi-condensate in the pelvis of one of the corpses again!
If these semi-condensates and acids are generally corrosive, as long as they are eaten, they will corrode the esophagus and intestines, and they will not wait for spontaneous combustion, these people will have been corroded into blood water long ago!
Yang Jing boldly pinched the half-condensate on his fingers, and the half-condensate had a cool and sticky feeling, which was really non-corrosive!
But the problem comes again, even if the acid of the evil Jiao solidifies, it will lose its corrosiveness, and it will have a corrosive effect after melting, and it will be combustible when exposed to water.
However, when these patients eat it, the water in their bodies melts them, and if they don't dissolve, they don't get into their bladder.
If it has melted in the body, why hasn't it completely corroded the inside of the body, and why does it re-condense into semi-condensate in places like the bladder?
The evil Jiao stores the acid in the body, and it is not corroded, presumably after this substance is secreted, it exists in the form of semi-condensate in the body of the evil Jiao.
But even if the evil Jiao spits out acid, these acids will not corrode its throat and mouth teeth, which means that the evil Jiao has special substances in its body that can protect its own body!
If so, were these people fed semi-condensate, were they also fed this protective substance?
If there really is such a substance, then it makes sense very easily.
These substances are ingested with semi-condensate, and when dissolved by body fluids, they protect human organs from corrosion, but they become flammable liquids!
And some of them enter the bladder with the body's new age!
At this time, white phosphorus acts as a combustible substance, and it is white phosphorus that ignites these flammable liquids in the body!
Yang Jing has seen and personally experienced how terrifying it is for the evil acid liquid to burn, so just now, such a little flammable liquid actually ignited a head-high flame after encountering water!
Such a majestic burning force, but in such a small space as the chest and abdomen, it burned violently, only for fear that it would cause an explosion, and then it burned violently!
Yang Jing was very excited, checked the wreckage, and sure enough, he found that the fracture of the sternum left in one of the corpses was very jagged!
Because it has been calcined, the fracture has been brittle and disintegrated, and it is difficult to identify it again, if it weren't for the fact that the sternum of this corpse is still relatively intact and retains the fractured characteristics of the rib root, Yang Jing would not be able to detect it at all!
Everything became clear at this moment, and it was not an accident, but a man-made arson!
This person first put the semi-condensate and protective agent into the food or medicine, and the gang leader or the military doctor fed the sick sergeant, and then used white phosphorus to cause spontaneous combustion of the patient!
Whether these military doctors and gang leaders know or not remains to be verified, but the difficulty will not be very great, if they had known, they would have absconded in fear of crime, with the cooperation of Zhang Changling, and the investigation of Li Zhun and others, it is easy to figure out.
The biggest problem is that the evil Jiao pesters Yang Jing all day long, who can collect its acid, and be well versed in the characteristics of the acid, and even get the protective agent of the acid?
