Chapter Seventy-Seven: How Water Tube Rockets Are Made
The pickup truck stopped, and Mulatu was the first to get down and rushed straight to the old man: "Father, I finally see you, you have worked hard all these years!" ”
Teshome has always played the role of a strict father, only the most indulgent to this young son, Muratu grew up riding on Teshome's neck, and after not seeing him for several years, he came up with a hug.
Teschaome stretched out his thin palm and patted Muratu on the back a few times: "Fortunately, Muratu, you have grown up, even in the East, you can share our worries." ”
Qin Feng and Zhao Jiao came down and looked at the people at the scene, he only knew You Sufu, and he hadn't seen the others, if you look at the appearance, there are a few that are very similar, they should be brothers, but there are also a few... Hey, why are there still people who don't wear rubber shoes?
In any era, in any country, the rebel army has never been monolithic, and in Africa, it is even more full of factions!
Sure enough, the man who was not wearing rubber shoes glanced at the father and son who were hugging each other: "This father-son love is really touching, Mulatu came back this time, just don't leave, now in this special period, picking up arms to fight the enemy together is what every Eritrean man should do!" Only a coward would hide in the East! ”
"Adem, say it again!" Yusuf's gaze erupted with fire.
"What, am I wrong?"
"Uncle Adem, I didn't go to the East to hide for fear of war, but to ask for help for us, I brought back the holy galoshes last time, so that we started the counteroffensive, this time..."
"Hmph, bullshit's galoshes, bullshit's counterattack, now it's the enemy counterattack! And help, just rely on those water pipes, sugar and fertilizer? ”
Swish! Yusuf couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to pull out the revolver on his waist, but before he could pull it out, he was held down by the person next to him.
There must be no infighting at this time.
"That's right, it's those things that we can build the most advanced weapons!" Qin Feng spoke.
Maria, who got off the bus together, played the role of interpreter, although she was not fluent in Oriental dialect, but the general meaning could still be spoken, because the situation was reversed, and some of the Ethereal people had doubts about the rubber shoes, and also questioned the things that had just been transported, these things could fight?
Muratu separated from his father and began to take on the task of translating, and when the words were translated, the eyes of everyone present widened.
"Now, let's assemble it on site!" Qin Feng glanced around: "Gar, come and give me a hand!" ”
Garr was one of the people who admired rubber shoes the most, and was in charge of security work next to him, and was very dissatisfied when he heard Adem's sarcasm, but he couldn't do it, and was in a hurry on the side, when he saw the gesture of the oriental guest, he immediately ran over.
"Move things outside and assemble them on site! Come on, give me a pot first! ”
Under the coffee tree, everyone's eyes widened, watching Qin Feng pour sugar and potassium nitrate fertilizer into the pot to heat, Qin Feng introduced to everyone while stirring: "First of all, we mix these two raw materials according to the proportion, and we must keep stirring during the mixing process..."
While speaking, the things in the pot began to melt and gradually merged together, although the big guy knew that white sugar could be melted by heat, but he didn't know that chemical fertilizer could melt when heated, and he didn't know that chemical fertilizer and white sugar could be mixed together, and he didn't know if it tasted good?
Garr, who was helping on the side, wanted to taste it, but didn't dare.
The pot completely turned into liquid, Qin Feng used a rag to cushion it, and poured the contents of the pot into the container on the side.
This container is a cardboard tube, the kind that can be stuffed into the water pipe, more than a meter long, and there is a bell mouth on it, which is a special mold.
The boiling liquid was poured in, just to the brim.
"Okay, let's put this first, let's make the warhead, come, find an iron pot again, put the fertilizer and sawdust together, and stir evenly."
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he walked to the other side, opened the opening of another bag of fertilizer, and grabbed out the white powder from it, it was very humid here, some of these powders had become lumpy, although they were all white powder, but these were two different kinds of fertilizer.
Ammonium nitrate is mixed with sugar to make propellant, and ammonium nitrate is mixed with wood flour to be used as explosives!
Simple ammonium nitrate can also explode, there are often various reports, a fertilizer warehouse exploded, it is proper ammonium nitrate, but if there is only this substance, the effect of the explosion is not good, ammonium nitrate also needs to be mixed with combustible powder to have a violent reaction and explode.
The best ones are, of course, sulphur, phosphorus or metal powders, but none of these are the wood flours that are easy to use locally. Is flour okay? I haven't tried this, I don't know. And there's no flour here, so let's talk about it when we grow wheat later.
Although Ademu kept mocking in his mouth, he couldn't take his eyes off when he saw Qin Feng tossing these things.
Qin Feng glanced at Adem while stirring, and then said: "Only the most devout people can make this kind of weapon of ours, and when making it, we must wear rubber shoes, so that we can bless the smooth production process." ”
Mulatu translated the words, and Adem looked disdainful: "Hmph, sugar, fertilizer, sawdust, these things can still make rockets?" I don't believe it! You don't even have a fuse! ”
"It's almost done, let's move on to the fuse." Qin Feng put the stirred things aside: "The fuse is also very simple, let me demonstrate it first, only need a nail, a rubber band, and a bullet." ”
During the whole process, Te Xiaomei didn't speak, just looked at Qin Feng's movements with a pair of blazing eyes, he didn't know what the previous movements were for, but watching the production of this fuse, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Because the front tip of the rocket is smashed into four triangles, there is a hole in the middle, this hole can just be stuffed into a nail, the nail is tied to a rubber band, which is equivalent to a spring, which can move back and forth, and then, as long as the bullet is put in again, the tip of the nail is against the primer of the bullet, and a simple collision fuse is made!
In the formal production, the bullet and ammonium nitrate explosive are put in together, and the nail can play the role of insurance if it is not installed first, and when it is necessary to use it, the combination of the nail and the rubber band is installed into it, which is equivalent to screwing the fuse.
Simple, practical and convenient, except for this shell that needs to be purchased, the rest can be made from local materials!
If all of them are purchased from the outside, the price is high, only one welded steel pipe is purchased from the outside, and the rest is made by the local method, and the price is much lower!
Purchase 10,000 pipes first, make 10,000 rockets, and hit the overwhelming rain of bullets, which will definitely stun the enemy!
Needless to say 10,000, even if only 200 pipes are obtained now, and 200 rockets are made, the enemy can be frightened and flee!
