Chapter 10 By any means

Huainan, with a solid name, is located in the south of the Huaihe River. The city is made up of coal mines and prosperous because of coal mines. Like Ma'anshan, it prospers from the development of industrial companies. Whether it is Huainan or Ma'anshan, it used to be a remote village, but now these two cities are the largest mining cities in China.

From the beginning, Huainan has been planned as an energy base for the whole East China region, and the construction of coal mines and coal mine railways. In order to ensure the modern coking plant built by the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, this former village has become a city. As a city flourishing from coal, in addition to coal mines and coking plants, the most important thing for this city is probably Huainan Chemical Company.

The same Huainan Chemical Company is also the most important modern chemical company for China. Unlike Ma'anshan Chemical Company, which specializes in coalization, Huainan Chemical Company is important not only because it can provide hundreds of fully equipped chemical products, but also because the most important thing is its production scale. With the help of hundreds of foreign technicians, too many of the first time in the history of Chinese chemical industry were born in the production workshop of Huainan Chemical Company.

The first barrel of synthetic dyes, the first barrel of sulfuric acid, the first barrel of benzene, the first barrel of phenol, the first... By Yanhuang 4601, he supplied 70% of China's methanol, 60% of lubricants, 45% of dyes, 88% of nitric acid, 75% of sulfur, 75% of hydrochloric acid, and he also owns the first in the Far East. A soda ash factory now not only monopolizes China's soda ash market, but also occupies 35% of the Japanese market. In addition, 80% of black gunpowder, 75% of smokeless gunpowder and 90% of explosives are enough to make this company occupy the most important position in China. According to external evaluation, "Without Huaihua, there will be no victory in the Restoration War."

In a gre of Bagong Mountain on the outskirts of Huainan City, more than a dozen staff of Huaihua Company are preparing something. On the mountain, several kilometers around the people are closely protected by a large number of heavily armed soldiers, and some swimming sentries can be faintly walking back and forth. Such a heavily guarded scene is not common in this mountain gale, at least in terms of the degree of alert, this may be the first time.

When they unloaded the steel gas cylinders from the carriage and pressed them on the grass, a group of soldiers in military uniforms gathered around a few hundred meters away, occasionally staring at the cylinders.

"Your Majesty, in the process of making soda ash and hydrochloric acid, we have produced a large amount of chlorine gas. In addition to bleaching, we reserve it with cylinders according to your instructions. At present, the company has stored more than 3,600 tons of chlorine!"

Before the exercise test, Lin Chengbin respectfully reported to His Majesty that five months ago, after the test in this valley, for the first time, he found that the chemistry he learned would change the course of the war, and a brand-new weapon would be put into the battlefield by the Chinese.

"However, according to our experiments, chlorine is extremely lethal, but it is not a suitable weapon. In order to ensure lethality, a large amount of chlorine must be applied. After the gas is cast, it produces a visible green smoke and a strong irritating smell, making it easy to be found by the enemy, thus losing In the past few months, we have been trying to find a suitable toxic gas. By chance, we got a colorless gas through the reaction of carbon tetrachloride and fuming sulfuric acid... Well, we call it rath!"

Lin Chengbin's pride in exchange for Chen Moran's surprise. It was his request to make chlorine cylinders. According to the "Yuan Hunting Plan", the restoration army must quickly defeat the front enemy and force the enemy back to the negotiating table with a neat victory. In order to achieve the purpose of this battle, it is natural. You can do it regardless of the cost.

"Light gas?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, his surname is larger, more secretive, and more effective than chlorine. However, it was not until a few weeks ago that we obtained a technological breakthrough in the industrial production of photogas. We used the reaction of carbon monoxide and chlorine to obtain ray gas. This is a strong heat dissipation reaction. The synthesizer with live carbon should have a water cooling jacket to control the reaction temperature of about 200℃. In order to obtain high-quality luminum and reduce the corrosion of the equipment, carbon monoxide, which has been thoroughly dried, is mixed with chlorine by maintaining an appropriate excess. The mixture is passed through the upper part of the synthesizer. After passing through the live carbon layer, it is quickly converted into lumina.

When Lin Chengbin was talking with His Majesty, Jiang Fangzhen, Cai E and others looked at the employees of Huaihua Company who were preparing for it, and they knew very little about the experiment.

Chlorine gas... lethality... light gas... vaguely listening to your majesty's conversation, Jiang Fangzhen more or less guessed that what he was about to see might be a test of a new weapon. As for what kind of weapon it was, it might be the toxic gas in those cylinders.

"Bai Li, do you know what poison gas is?"

Cai E turned his head and asked Jiang Fangzhen. Jiang Fangzhen shook his head. For them, poison gas was completely a weapon beyond their concept.

"It should be able to kill people!"

Several staff members of Huaihua Company drove a group of sheep and cattle to the shooting range. Soon, these people ran away from the mountain, leaving only the herd of cattle and sheep slowly eating grass, and the group of cattle and sheep looked uncomfortable under the gaze of people.

"Experiment with sheep?"

Seeing the sheep under the light one kilometer away from the telescope, Cai E frowned slightly and said softly. Generally speaking, wooden dummys are used to test the power of shells, but today they are used living things such as cattle and sheep.

At this time, everything was ready. After the signal came from a few hundred meters away, Lin Chengbin gently bowed to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, can we start now!"

"Let's go!"

While nodding and agreeing, Chen Moran picked up the telescope.

"Don, Dong..."

The continuous explosion sounded at the same time at the place where the cylinder was placed, and the explosion was extremely slight.

"Your Majesty, this is the sealed bolt of the blown gas cylinder!"

Chen Moran, who had been paying attention there, did not listen to his explanation, but looked at the cylinder in the telescope, which spewed out thick light yellow mist. The thick light yellow air mist was spewing out of the cylinder. As the wind rushed to the sheep hundreds of meters away, the light yellow air mist dispersed, and the color became lighter and lighter. Finally, even There is no color at all.

"This..."

Chen Moran looked at Lin Chengbin in surprise. How did the poison gas disappear?

"Your Majesty!"

There is a smile on Lin Chengbin's face.

"This is phosgene. Although the compressed phore will produce a light yellow aerosol when it is released, the color will disappear after the aerosol emits 100 meters. This is the biggest difference between phosgene and chlorine, which can ensure the sudden surname of the poison gas."

After a while, it can be clearly seen from the telescope that the cattle and sheep that were originally eating grass peacefully were in chaos. As soon as they opened, they looked around in horror. After a while, some cattle and sheep fell to the ground from time to time. When some cattle and sheep tried to run to other places, they often ran more Faster, the faster you fall, it's just a few minutes, and hundreds of cattle and sheep that were eating grass fell on the grass.

Looking at the center of the target area in the distance with a telescope, they were covered with twitching cattle and sheep. Their faces were full of incredible appearances. The twitching cattle and sheep quickly moved. The grass in the telescope seemed to have regained its previous calm. If it hadn't been for the group of dead cattle and sheep, who would have thought of the previous fear. A horrible scene.

Jiang Cai, who looked at each other in front of each other, took a long time before they came to their senses. For soldiers, any weapon is just a toy. This poison gas is just a fresh toy, as long as they can kill the enemy and protect themselves.

"Can only be used for gas cylinders?"

Putting down the telescope, Chen Moran asked Lin Chengbin that the lethality was not bad.

"Your Majesty! Now we have jointly developed a new type of shell with Ma'anshan Arsenal, uh-huh! It should be directly equipped with firing and detonating parts on the cylinder, so that the 40-liter cylinder can be directly changed into a shell. According to the report of Ma'anshan, they have fully tested this. Using special mortars, they can launch shells 1 kilometer away!"

"Suibo, you are responsible for it yourself, and you must ensure that the restructuring of at least 5,000 gas cylinders will be completed in two weeks!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"How much light can the company produce now?"

"500 kilograms!"

"500 kilograms?"

Jiang Fangzhen turned his head again and looked at the dead cattle and sheep.

"Manager Lin, if you want to carry out a gas attack on the defense line with a depth of 15 kilometers and a depth of two kilometers, how much do you need... Well, how many kilograms of light gas!"

"This... I think we need at least 5,000 bottles of luminance. We can produce about 20 cylinders of luminance a day! According to the current production capacity of the company, it will not be possible to provide enough light until the end of the year.

Lin Chengbin's answer obviously could not satisfy everyone, while Chen Moran frowned and thought for a while. Of course, the light was good, but the lack of quantity was useless.

"Manager Lin, you try your best to produce, cooperate with Ma'anshan, put all the chlorine gas in the stock into the shells and sell it to the military,"

Occasionally, when the eyes are on the hundreds of cattle and sheep on the grass or twitching or dead, Chen Moran and the cattle and sheep who are struggling in pain will make any changes in the future. Now the whole world does not know what the poison gas is. If thousands of tons of chlorine gas are put into the battlefield... The poison gas can not only help China win the war, but also Thinking that China has established a new deterrent force, at least when they don't understand what poison gas is, they can't help but pay attention to China with a poison gas stick.

For the rise of this empire, I can do anything!

When he swore secretly in his heart, Chen Moran turned his head to look at Jiang Fangzhen and said softly.

"In a word, I will give you the best weapons and equipment and enough funds. I only have one premise that you must win this battle for me!"
