Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 336 Nitroglycerin
Although Yang Menglong is not very reliable, he also knows that the research and development of these new weapons is a huge project. Among other things, the relevant technical data and drawings of just a copper bullet case weigh no less than a few hundred kilograms. What's more, we need to develop mortars, breech-loading single-shot rifles, and rocket launchers on the basis of nothing!These things don't just have cannons, they also need ammunition. When it comes to ammunition, it also involves shell manufacturing, fuses, charges, primers, etc. A lot of things can be seen at the beginning and two big things. With all the information laid out, it would be easy to crush someone to death.Considering that the tasks of these firearms research groups were heavy enough, he was embarrassed to continue exploiting them, so he set up a separate ammunition research group to specialize in the study of ammunition.The power of black powder was just that, and it was difficult to significantly improve it. He had to find a way to get yellow explosives and mercury fulminate.

Dynamite is still difficult for him, and he knows some related preparation techniques, but... But, but, there is no trace of Dongdong who prepares dynamite now!He patted his head, and sighed in distress...Headache, a traveler who doesn't have the slightest industrial foundation but wants to make a career can't afford it!There are no three acids and two alkalis, just play fork!
Three acids and two bases...

Yang Menglong grinned. He can't make hydrochloric acid now, but nitric acid... Aren't there two lunatics in the school who are trying to destroy a city wall with a bottle of strong acid?Getting out nitric acid is nothing to them!Yes, find them!

I drove the carriage to the school, came to the downstairs of the teachers' dormitory, and saw the smoke billowing in the dormitory of the two chemistry masters as expected, who knows what these two are doing again!Those teachers who didn't go home for the New Year all ran out in horror, even those gangsters who were too nervous. Seeing Yang Menglong, these elites rushed over to hug Yang Menglong with tears and snot in their noses. Grabbing his leg and crying, "Master, you are here! Please, get these two lunatics away quickly, or we won't be able to live!"

Yang Menglong noticed that the number of foreigners among this group of teachers had increased a lot, to about twenty. Needless to say, Father Robben had taken over all the fellow refugees who had fled from Shandong.He frowned and asked, "What happened to them?"

Father Robben kept making the sign of the cross on his chest, his lips trembling, and said: "These two lunatics have never done anything except compiling textbooks since they entered the school. A bottle of strong acid was thrown at the door, corroding the floor and walls into pits, we couldn't bear it anymore, we went to them to protest! But...but..."

Chen Suxue was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly: "They... they seemed to have listened to our opinions seriously and announced that they would not... play with acid anymore. Please rest assured!"

Yang Menglong was puzzled: "Isn't this very good!"

Everyone's voices were raised eight tunes, and the ending was extremely long: "Okay?" That expression could be said to be filled with righteous indignation, and they almost didn't rush forward to fight Yang Menglong!
Mai Fengshou's face was deeply wrinkled, his whole face was like a dried orange, and he sighed deeply: "The reason why they don't want to play strong acid anymore is that they have realized that it is very unrealistic to use a bottle of strong acid to rot through the city wall." Yes, even if it can be eroded, it will take a lot of strong acid, which is not worth it, so they want to make a powerful explosive to blow down the city wall and improve efficiency!"

Engage in explosives in the school dormitory! ?

Yang Menglong's eyelids are jumping wildly, no wonder these elites are so frightened, if someone in your residential area is engaged in explosives, you will not be able to sleep!Those two bastards are really outrageous!He has to reconsider whether it is feasible to let these two crazy people teach a group of children to learn chemistry!

At this moment, a small bottle flew out from the corridor on the second floor, drew an arc, and landed on the playground.Everyone saw it clearly, yelled "Oh my god", and ran away, while Yang Menglong almost instinctively lay down, watching the little bottle fall on the ground——

"boom!!!"

The bottle fell to the ground and shattered, an orange fireball swelled out of it, soaring into the air, the loud noise was like thunder, and the glass windows buzzed... Yang Menglong broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, let the children throw such a bottle of stuff down suddenly when they are having fun in class or after class, that’s okay!
The culprit seemed to have never considered such a low-level problem, and two dirty faces appeared, looking at the still lingering gunpowder smoke, they cheered loudly: "Success! We succeeded!" excitedly hugging each other A group, jumping and shouting, that is a joy!
They were happy, but Yang Menglong's face turned dark and he roared: "Pang Chun, Pang Xia, you two bastards, get out of here right now!"

Those two extremely happy guys asked in unison, "Who are you?"

Yang Menglong roared like thunder: "I am your boss, the principal of this school, and the commander of Wuyang Guard! I count to three, if you don't get down, get out of Wuyang with me between your legs!"

The two lunatics just noticed that the bottle of explosives they had just blown up the big boss, they couldn't help but shuddered, and rushed down with flattering smiles on their faces, as if they had just been shot. A pug with feet: "Boss, why are you here? Didn't you scare you just now? Come, come, sit on it!"

Yang Menglong knocked Pang Chun down with one punch, and kicked Pang Xia into a gourd on the ground. He punched and kicked these two guys who didn't know whether to live or die, and while beating him, he cursed: "Your grandma, you have become more capable, haven't you? You actually dared to make explosives in the dormitory, and you dared to throw them around like rocks! What if you kill someone? What if you injure someone? Do you know how terrifying the things you made are? It almost happened. I'll reimburse you! It's your grandma's fault. I can't do it without giving you a lesson, your grandma's!" These two little beasts were beaten until they were rolling around on the ground, screaming, begging loudly for mercy, saying that they would not dare to do anything in the future. He didn't dare to do it anymore. Yang Menglong just pretended that he didn't hear it, and rained down his fists and kicks on these two lawless guys until they were beaten into pig heads!There were so many teachers watching, but none of them tried to persuade them. On the contrary, they cheered loudly, which shows how disgusted these two guys are!
When he was tired from the beating, Yang Menglong stopped, panting, staring at the two pig heads, and asked fiercely: "Do you accept it?"

The two pig heads cried, "Submit, subdue!" They were absolutely convinced by Yang Menglong's fist and leather boots.

Yang Menglong asked: "Is it right for me to beat you?"

The two pig heads said in unison: "Yes, yes, that's so right!"

Yang Menglong snorted: "I hope you don't say you are convinced on the surface, but secretly want to get a piece of explosives and throw it into my house!"

The two pig heads almost cried: "How dare we, how dare we!"

Yang Menglong waved his hand: "Go, go to your dormitory!"

Zhutou No. [-] and Zhutou No. [-] quickly got up and led the way, taking Yang Menglong to their dormitory.

As soon as he entered the door, an unusually unpleasant smell filled Yang Menglong's eyes with blackness, and he almost succumbed to it.What are the characteristics of these two guys’ dormitories?Dirty, messy!The dining table and the living room were all littered with all kinds of strange utensils, including alcohol lamps, transparent glass beakers, flasks, magnifying glasses, copper pipes, iron pipes, and lead pipes.Some bottles contained alcohol, ether, acid, alkali, salt, nitrate, sulfur, charcoal, flour, and a lot of nameless stuff. Yang Menglong's eyelids jumped wildly, and he really wanted to ask. These two living treasures: Is it really okay to stack so many chemical raw materials together?
These two living treasures have long been accustomed to their doghouse-like home. They asked Yang Menglong to sit down without shame, and solemnly advised: "Sir, you must not touch these things. It is very dangerous." !"

Yang Menglong took a cup of tea from Pang Xia's hand, and before he drank it, he felt a strange smell and lost his appetite.He simply stopped drinking, put it aside, and asked, "What did you throw down just now? It's so powerful in a small bottle!"

The two brothers looked at each other, and Pang Chun scratched his head and said, "We...we were fooling around. We wanted to create a strong acid that could eat through city walls, but no matter how we improved it, the effect was still unsatisfactory!"

Pangsha said: "So we tried to see if we could make a more powerful acid, and we ended up with an explosive liquid!"

Yang Menglong asked: "Have you recorded the manufacturing process? Have you recorded the recipe?"

Pang Chun said: "No, we just think of a method and try it. If it doesn't work, we will try another method. We will never go back and try it again. Why record this?"

Yang Menglong almost vomited blood: "No records? No data at all?"

The two brothers shook their heads in unison.

This time Yang Menglong really vomited blood.This is also a common problem of scientific research enthusiasts in ancient China. There was no scientific research system established in ancient China. Many innovations and inventions were made by folk enthusiasts. The relevant experimental data will not be recorded.The most terrible thing is that most of the scientific research results related to chemistry are useless, and there is no way to bring benefits to researchers. Once the excitement is over, they are immediately thrown aside and no one cares about them anymore.Sulfuric acid was extracted in China in the Tang Dynasty, but after more than 1000 years, sulfuric acid, an extremely important thing, has not been applied to the lives of ordinary people for a long time.Those alchemists only knew how to refine sulfuric acid, but they didn't know what the sulfuric acid could be used for, and they were not interested in researching it. Many things with great potential just passed by China.It's like these two alchemists who are not doing business properly in front of them, they accidentally made nitroglycerin, and they probably don't know how much potential this thing has. If there is no Yang Menglong, they will probably throw it aside soon and mess with them. More interested in researching...
