Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

At this moment, everyone felt as if they were falling into an icy cave.

Lu Changshun served in the army and attended military school.

He said that the liquefied gas tank designed by Lin Kaifeng could be used as a weapon, and there must be a reason for it.

Lin Kaifeng didn't intend to help the machinery factory solve the current crisis.

He simply wanted to send everyone to jail!

Thinking of the possible consequences of making weapons without authorization, Niu Yonggui was immediately furious and shouted loudly: "Lin Kaifeng, we didn't look for you or provoke you, why did you cheat us?"

"We all humbly ask you how to solve the problems in the factory, but you are so kind as to let our factory make artillery shells!!!"

"If our superiors find out, do you think you can escape? We'll all have to go in and eat steamed bread, and we might even get shot!!!"

Everyone glared at Lin Kaifeng with anger.

Killing is not the right place.

Besides, no one has ever offended him.

Why did Lin Kaifeng have to use such a cruel method to get everyone in?

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Everyone, how could I tell you that I asked the machinery factory to manufacture artillery shells instead of liquefied gas tanks?"

"How dare you quibble!"

Niu Yonggui pointed to the small grid on the diagram and said, "The factory director is an expert. He said this is called prefabricated fragments, a device that increases the lethality."

"Hehe, everyone is a little paranoid. It's just a decorative pattern."

Lin Kaifeng shrugged and looked at the workshop director, Lao Ma.

"Director Ma, didn't you also say it was a decorative pattern?"

Old Ma shuddered and just wanted to slap himself hard twice.

"Leaders, every one of you has a kitchen knife. If someone uses a kitchen knife to kill someone, does that mean the kitchen knife factory should also be held responsible?"

"We sell patterned gas tanks. As for what the buyer does with them, can we really watch them the whole time?"

"Think about it again, everyone. What else can a machinery factory make besides this simple liquefied gas tank? What else can replace it to earn foreign exchange?"

Faced with the practical problems before them, everyone's expressions changed again.

He can start as an ordinary worker and gradually become a station director, department head, and even a factory director or deputy factory director.

No one is stupid.

Lin Kaifeng told everyone indirectly.

This thing can be used as both a military product and a civilian product.

The key is how to use it.

"The issue of earning foreign exchange is a problem. No matter how difficult it may be, we cannot produce weapons."

Lu Changshun said unhappily: "We are a machinery factory, not an arsenal."

"Exporting weapons is a matter for the military industry, and has nothing to do with us."

"Uncle San, liquefied gas tanks have always been civilian products and have nothing to do with the military industry."

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "If we turn the valve of the liquefied gas tank into a warhead fuse and weld a fixed tail fin at its tail, it might be able to have something to do with weapons, but we will never do such a thing."

"We dare not do it. We have to write these contents in the instruction manual."

“Remind foreign investors not to do this.”

"We sell a tank of liquid gas, plus a safety manual."

“Is this also called exporting weapons?”

Lin Kaifeng looked around at everyone and said, exporting empty cans is also called exporting weapons.

When did the scope of arms exports become so broad?

Niu Yonggui and others remained silent.

What Lin Kaifeng said makes a lot of sense.

What we sell are empty cans, not cannon cans.

Why is it called export weapons?

Lin Kaifeng looked at Lu Changshun and said, "Uncle San, you have been a soldier, tell me, what is this weapon called?"

"You are just making up your mind. It is filled with explosives, and it is a weapon."

Lu Changshun was speechless.

"You also said that weapons are only weapons when they are filled with explosives. The empty bottles we export only have air inside, not explosives."

"Oh, you have to fill this one in, too."

Lin Kaifeng slapped his forehead and said, "Don't put potassium nitrate and sugar into the liquefied gas tank. These things will explode, and the power is not much less than that of dynamite."

"At the same time, it is forbidden to fill it with various iron sheets, steel balls, and metal filings. If an explosion occurs due to improper use, it will affect a large number of innocent people around."

"By the way, we can also ask foreign investors if they need large steel pipes. If they really want to build infrastructure, there will definitely be demand."

"I heard that agriculture is not well developed in Heizhou. Uncle San, is there a fertilizer plant in the county?"

"Why don't we develop our style and ask foreign businessmen if they need fertilizers for agricultural development?"

"Deputy Director Niu, there is still a sugar factory in our county, right?"

"Why not ask the foreign businessmen together?"

As he spoke, Lu Changshun's mouth was almost unable to close.

The main ingredient of domestic fertilizers is potassium nitrate.

Lu Changshun didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if he mixed it with sugar.

explosion.

And it was a violent explosion.

Large steel pipes?

What the hell.

Lin Kaifeng’s thoughts are really thoughtful.

Worried that the other side had bullets but no guns, they sent large steel pipes to serve as cannon barrels.

and many more!

Lu Changshun blurted out: "Isn't this the Flying Thunder Cannon?"

Think of it!

Lu Changshun felt something strange just now.

I always feel like I've seen this kind of thing somewhere.

Feilei Cannon, a kind of homemade cannon made by our army.

The launch vehicle is a large empty gasoline barrel.

After filling the propellant, the firer puts the round explosive bag into the gasoline barrel and ignites the propellant.

When he was studying in military school, Lu Changshun attended a party held by the school to recall the past.

An old soldier vividly described to everyone the arduous battles during the Great Patriotic War.

During the war, the Japanese used artillery towers to retreat and block important traffic routes.

Because our army lacked effective siege weapons, the Flying Thunder Cannon came into being.

The explosive pack placed in the gasoline barrel weighs at least ten kilograms.

With one shot, the Japanese artillery tower can be easily destroyed.

While the power is huge, the hidden dangers are equally great.

The range of the Flying Thunder Cannon is only about 150 meters.

And if you're not careful, it might explode.

Even so.

The Flying Thunder Cannon was still the main long-range offensive weapon of our army in the early days.

Comparing the two, Lu Changshun understood everything.

The liquefied gas tank is actually the explosive pack of the flying thunder cannon.

The large round steel tube is the launcher.

"Director, what is this flying thunder cannon you are talking about?"

someone asked.

"It's just the heartless cannon in the movie."

Lu Changshun looked straight at Lin Kaifeng and asked, "Kaifeng, why do you have to do this?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle San, you should ask everyone about this."

"I'm an outsider. I came here specifically to give you and the machinery factory some advice."

“Whether you want to contact foreign companies to export liquefied gas cylinders is your business.”

Lin Kaifeng felt that he had done his best.

The solution has been found and the reason has been given to them.

Some words are too revealing and become meaningless.

They are all leaders of the county machinery factory.

They know what the machinery factory is like better than Lin Kaifeng.

It is not an exaggeration to say that we are penniless and barely making a living.

If we give up the liquefied gas tank solution, the factory will really starve.
