Chapter 120 Bullying (2)

In the experience of ordinary people, apart from the possibility of using sulfuric acid for experiments in school days, the desire to buy it is only when a third party gets involved.But for scientists, there are just too many uses for sulfuric acid.

Basic chemical experiments are inseparable from sulfuric acid, and basic industries can be said to be based on a few concentrated chemicals-one of which is sulfuric acid.There must be factories producing sulfuric acid around any industrial city. If not, it proves that you have discovered new business opportunities...

As for wanting revenge on opponents, sulfuric acid has a more significant effect besides burning. It is usually used by one group of people to retaliate against another group of people-the famous nitroglycerin.

Like methamphetamine, nitroglycerin is a dangerous product that any qualified science and engineering student should know how to manufacture. In simple terms, nitroglycerin is an unstable substance that mixes concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid and glycerin. Of course, the actual operation The process is a little more complicated.

Last time, the sulfuric acid purchased by Cheng Jinzhou through Shen Cong was about 70% concentrated. Although it could not meet the requirements of concentrated sulfuric acid, it at least showed that sulfuric acid had been widely used in this era. There were not many star warlocks who were proficient in alchemy, but they Products often have a stronger stimulating effect on people's livelihood, just like in the era when the industrial revolution was launched, physically manufactured machinery was used in industry, and chemically manufactured products were directly used on consumers.

There are many ways to purify sulfuric acid. Although Cheng Jinzhou is not good at experiments, he knows all the methods.And compared to the trouble and low power of black powder, nitroglycerine is more suitable for his current status: high power, high danger, and high efficiency, which can be called a model of the three highs.

Shen Cong looked worriedly at Cheng Jinzhou, then at Cao Feng who was wearing the robe of the star warlock, and said, "I'll send someone to bring some acid. Don't do anything obvious."

Not doing something obvious and not doing this are completely different concepts. Naturally, Shen Cong had no good impression of Zhao Quanfu himself.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded and shook his head, "I need some other acids. The other is glycerin."

He said and explained nitric acid.In the era when there was sulfuric acid, there was naturally nitric acid, but Shen Cong couldn't understand it himself, so he simply said: "I also went to the pawn shop last time. It is said that the court official in the shop has seen everything."

"That..."

"Lin Bo, he is involved in a lot of family business. Our butler joins the army." Shen Cong made a joke.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded and said simply: "Let's go to the pawn shop to have a look. It's more uncomfortable to wait here."

The broken restaurant is not only leaking from all sides, but also has people watching, and it loses its meaning when there are people.

The shopkeeper sent a group of people out of the half gate with both joy and worry. The street in front of the ceremony courtyard was still crowded with people, especially the examinees from wealthy families, who wanted to take this opportunity to make a big publicity.The successful ones can have a Tail Burning Banquet - the fish jumping over the dragon's gate still has a tail that can't be changed, so it needs to be burned; People are also like a festival, acting as if they are doing Chinese real estate business.

The roads in the capital are not spacious, and there are no restrictions on the shape of the carriages and horses. Everyone throws their arms and walks however they feel comfortable. Dodge one exception, at least give them several times more space, just like the posture of a leader visiting.

According to the legend, astrologists were said to kill people in the street, even though this kind of slander has always been denied by astrologists who do these things.

Not far out of the restaurant, Lu Xu became impatient and said half-floating in the air: "Where are you going, I'll go there and wait."

"Take me with you, you are still a bodyguard." Cheng Jinzhou glanced at him helplessly.

Shen Cong immediately jumped out and said, "I'll show you the way."

Lu Xu grabbed Shen Cong and started flying upwards. The crowd on the ground had already made him uncomfortable.

Cao Feng smiled and said "offended", and grabbed Cheng Jinzhou's collar and floated into the air.It gave the latter the feeling as if he was riding an aerial motorcycle.

……

Lin Bo is indeed a person who is proficient in all kinds of items. What is particularly admirable is that he will consciously replenish knowledge, even if he is already an old man, but since he sold it to Cheng Jinzhou Suan, he has been related I have read things all over, and now when I talk about nitric acid and so on, it is amazing to be able to list various specifications.

A scholar knows everything about the world without going out. After a little contact, Lin Bo has prepared everything that Cheng Jinzhou needs, so he doesn't need to bother at all.

About 80% concentrated sulfuric acid, basically satisfactory nitric acid, but unfortunately there is no ready-made glycerin - Cheng Jinzhou had already prepared to pull Cao Feng and Lu Xu and said, "Who can separate the products between the two of you?"

"Separation?" Lu Xu frowned, waved his right hand lightly, and rubbed up a layer of ground and said, "Is this so?"

The ground was neatly cut even a layer of stones, Shen Cong shrank back as he watched, and even touched his neck inadvertently.

The cutting machine Cheng Jinzhou has seen is much more powerful than this, he shook his head indifferently and said: "It is to separate substances, Mr. Cao?"

The advantage of the astrologers of this era in alchemy or chemistry lies in their ability to use star arrays to decompose or combine substances - in Xiao Cheng's opinion, it is probably through the action of high-energy particles and so on - from a good perspective Locally speaking, the star array enables today's astromancers to cross many steps and successfully obtain chemical products, thus affecting the development of chemistry. But on the negative side, the use of star arrays has allowed countless astromancers to All have lost the opportunity to discover and summarize the essence of chemistry.

Of course, in a world where magical star arrays can exist, feeling the essence of the star array may be a more important goal.

Scientists who first study biology must start with chemistry, and Cao Feng is no exception.He grabbed a handful of sulfuric acid in his hand, and he didn't care that the sulfuric acid left behind corroded the ground. He focused on urging the star array on his wrist, and soon saw that all the sulfuric acid was flowing out from the gap between his fingers. Pure water, no acidity at all.

After a while, Cao Feng opened his palm, and saw a small plate made of light rays on the palm of his hand, on which was solidified sulfuric acid.

Cheng Jinzhou stretched his neck, opened his mouth and said, "Is this artificial concentrated sulfuric acid you made?"

This is a little different from his idea. I heard that the Americans spent a lot of energy in making napalm bombs. If they had star warlocks involved, they would probably add napalm bombs to the warehouse.

Cao Feng shook the concentrated sulfuric acid on the palm of his hand and threw it on the ground. Unlike the slightly dilute sulfuric acid, these guys with a concentration of at least 95% directly corroded a large hole in the bluestone ground, and then began to emit white traces of sulfuric acid. Gas, probably because the stone contains more calcium carbonate.

Cheng Jinzhou couldn't laugh or cry. He wanted Cao Feng to help make glycerin. Concentrated sulfuric acid was not in short supply, but he couldn't explain it in words. He simply pulled Lin Bo and said, "Go find some fat first, pig fat." , pure fat meat.”

The favorite of urban residents is pork fat, and they found it in a few clicks.While Cheng Jinzhou was waiting in the small yard, he took the opportunity to explain to Cao Feng how to extract glycerin from fat. In the case of a shop, you can make things right while the boss is looking for change, but in Daxia, it is a bit troublesome to find sodium hydroxide.

However, from an alchemical point of view, strong bases such as sodium hydroxide must be widely used, even if some gentlemen's chemical laboratories are a mess.Cao Feng is no exception. It is not easy to use the star array to simulate the properties of strong alkali, but the essence of this experiment is to lengthen the carbon chain. To do this, the star array has countless solutions.

Dozens of kilograms of white pork were brought in in a basin. Cheng Jinzhou felt a little horrified when he saw it. On the contrary, Lu Xu and Cao Feng didn't take it seriously and started playing with interest - the star warlock wanted to find something interesting. Things are not easy either.

Any young man with casual access to a laboratory, if he is curious enough, can easily make nitroglycerin and methamphetamine--in fact, the gentlemen who usually make these things don't even need a laboratory.

The simplicity of these two compounds is inversely proportional to their fame. Cheng Jinzhou can instruct Cao Feng to do the same with almost no effort.

After preparing the concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid and enough glycerin, Cao Feng didn't even need to use the star array for the further compounding. Except for the occasional Lu Xu who wanted to shake the newly produced nitroglycerin curiously, the experiment process Nothing out of the ordinary.

After Shen Cong brought the three of them to his own yard, he didn't make another sound until Cheng Jinzhou carefully put the glycerin in the porcelain bottle before asking, "Is this thing dangerous?"

"It's more than just dangerous." Cheng Jinzhou looked at the bottle almost in the same eye and said, "The number of people who died because of transporting this thing is no less than that of experts and professors."

"What kind of dangerous method?" Shen Cong took two steps back.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled when he saw it and lied to him: "If you really want to know, just think of it as timely poison."

Glyceryl trinitrate does cause dizziness when you smell it, but it is not easy to kill a person, at least it is not cost-effective economically. It is very difficult to kill one or two with the amount that can kill a nest of people.

Reminiscent of the existence of Zhao Quan, Shen Cong didn't want to know what Cheng Jinzhou was going to do, so he waved his hands and said, "I'll go and prepare food for you, you can play first."

With that said, he got out through the crack of the door with a whoosh.

"Let's make a little more and make up 5 kilograms." In Cheng Jinzhou's memory, it would take almost a suitcase of nitroglycerine to blow up an entire building.Although it was once the most powerful ordinary explosive in the world, it is a product of the 18th and 19th centuries, and it is difficult to achieve Hollywood effects.
