Chapter 41 Nitroglycerin
"I think it should be better to average according to the world's population ratio!"
Just as representatives from various countries were discussing how many people in their own countries should occupy, a slightly discordant voice sounded, using English, but this English level was a bit bad. After listening for a long time, I realized what this guy meant.
The voice was not loud, but many people still agreed with this proposal. Some of them stopped their movements and looked at the person who was talking, but when everyone saw the representative of the speech, they immediately ignored it.
"No!" No one expected that the first person to say opposes was China, and the leaders of the other countries also opposed it. They joked that according to the proportion of the population, wouldn't they just give a big advantage? This damn Asan really made a good plan.
"Then what distribution should we do? If the person named Li Zhen keeps calling you Chinese, when he dies, the earth will be finished. Except for you Chinese, all other humans will be finished!"
Ah San was a little angry. They took the advantage of the population, otherwise they would not have anything to take, and they could not make things. Could it be that the man named Li Zhen was taught to ride a motorcycle? Ming Qixing didn’t have any motorcycle to ride!
"Then there is no way. Who made Li Zhen a Chinese? If you hate it, you can find the god who kidnapped Li Zhen and let him kidnap you Ah San!" The representative of China looked at this Ah San with a calm and leisurely spirit.
Now the Chinese representatives are the easiest. The longer the delay, the more beneficial it is to the Chinese side. Every time Li Zhen summons, he is Chinese.
"This is not OK, that is not OK. What should I do?"
The leader of Ah San sat on the ground and looked at the Chinese representative helplessly. If he could, he really wanted to beat him up.
"Let's continue to discuss how to allocate the population..."
The meeting continued, but this kind of quarrel was a bit nonsense. I was quarrel every day, day after day, and I couldn’t see any unanimous opinions, so I could only waste my time every day.
After Ming Qixing and Li Zhen figured out Professor Lu's words, they began to think about how to deal with it. This kind of thing cannot be explained in public. Just understand it in his heart, but how to deal with it without sensuality is the key.
I took a simple rest and started patrolling my tribe. Now the tribe has changed a lot. When I first came here, there were only a few simple, dilapidated and simple tent-like places in the entire valley. The primitive people were busy like ants.
However, the current base has been divided into four areas, the largest area is the mining area. In the past, the primitive people had to dig the mine by themselves, and moved it down by themselves, moving it to the foot of the mountain little by little. The ore harvested in one day was very limited.
However, as Li Zhen and others brought the assembly line here, the production in the mining area began to increase significantly. When there were no iron tools at the beginning, a primitive man mined and a primitive man was responsible for transportation, which had improved the work efficiency several times.
After the large-scale popularization of iron tools, a primitive man can mine hundreds of kilograms of ore every day, and even more. Seven blast furnaces by the river have been fired, but iron ore is still not enough, and everyone is trying to find ways to increase production.
"Li Zhen, are you here?"
Wang Zhigan and a group of people were doing experiments on the open ground. From the beginning, Li Zhen and others started to study the gunpowder experiments, and the progress has been relatively slow until now.
Although there is a circulating among the people that 100,200 carbon and 34000 brimstone, when it comes to actual operation, this ratio is very difficult to control. The most important thing is that the nitride mining is insufficient and it is very rare. Li Zhen and others searched for a long time before finding a little.
In terms of charcoal, Li Zhen and others will specialize in firing charcoal every day to provide it to blast furnaces, and some of it will be left as raw materials for black gunpowder, but it has been nearly three months and there has been no progress at all.
"Success?"
"Success!"
Wang Zhi fucked with a smile on his face and handed Li Zhen a mixed thing wrapped in chips: "But we have too little saltpeter and cannot be used on a large scale!"
"Try the power?"
Wang Zhigan nodded, buried the small black explosive in his hand in a position under an open space, then pulled out a long fuse made of hemp rope, and after clicking it, he ran back quickly, found a place to climb down.
Li Zhen gave the guy a blank look: "Old Wang, you have become more and more funny recently. The amount of black gunpowder combined is just a firecracker at most. What are you doing when you are lying on the ground?"
Wang Zhigan pulled Li Zhen and pressed him to the ground without saying a word: "Who told you that it was black gunpowder? Do you think it takes so long for me to study black gunpowder?"
"boom!"
An explosion that was obviously much bigger than a firecracker sounded, and gravel flew over Li Zhen’s head, looked up and saw a pit that was blown out. Although it was not big, it seemed that the power of the explosive was not small.
"Not black gunpowder? Have you created TNT? Talent, why didn't Wang Zhigan know that you had such a skill before? Where did you get nitroglycerin?"
This time it was Li Zhen's turn to be surprised. Black gunpowder and yellow gunpowder are completely different concepts. Black gunpowder is completely a physical phenomenon, but yellow gunpowder is related to the chemical industry. First of all, nitrified glycerol extraction is a relatively dangerous process.
Wang Zhi smiled dryly: "It's not just yellow gunpowder, I just made some silver powder and sulfuric acid and added it. The power has been greatly improved. However, when there is a laboratory that can extract nitroglycerin in the future, I think it should be able to create TNT!"
Li Zhen gave Wang Zhigan a thumbs up: "Yes, but now I think I'd better get some black gunpowder first. The mine is getting harder to mine now. There is not enough ore, so our blast furnace is fine!"
"No problem to make some for you at night, but the saltpeter is really gone. Send someone out to find it. It is best to find a stable production area, otherwise the gunpowder output is really low!"
"Okay, I'll send someone out to find him later!"
