The huge explosion and blazing flames were heard and seen by almost the entire Nanyuan barracks.
It immediately caused great panic. There was a commotion among the soldiers who were practicing formation.
When the officers saw that the queue was in chaos, they immediately waved sticks to restrain them.
Zhou Yuji also urgently dispatched cavalry before suppressing them.
Later, Zhou Yuji led the officers to the scene of the incident, but was stopped by guards outside the workshop. These guards are all Yang Fan's personal soldiers. Naturally, everyone knows Zhou Yuji.
"Master Zhou, the commander is experimenting with new weapons inside. No one is allowed in."
Zhou Yuji felt relieved after hearing that he was experimenting with new weapons. At first, he thought there had been an accident. Firecrackers and artillery are usually experimented here, and explosions are often heard. Originally, the soldiers didn't pay much attention.
But this time, it was too appalling. Thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a powder magazine has exploded.
Zhang Shize hammered the stone hard and said loudly: "You have this good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier. Last time the Japanese pirates came to harass the capital, if I had this, I would give it to them. Hehe. Keep it so they can't run away. .”
He was completely in excitement and did not notice that the expressions of Yang Fan, Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were a little strange.
Yang Fan was not too excited. The technology of this thing is simple, and it is expected to work.
"Master, this thing uses a gunpowder bag to become an explosive bomb, and you use the secret recipe to make an incendiary bomb. It's really amazing." Xiao Niangpi said with admiration.
She and Lin Yueru have little stars in their eyes, and the master is the best.
Yang Fan said proudly: "This is some kind of incendiary bomb. At most, it has a burning effect. I know there is a formula that can make a real incendiary bomb. But that thing requires something called petroleum as a raw material. to make.”
"Oil, what is that? I've never heard of it." Xiao Niangpi said with a frown.
"Well, you call this kind of stuff Shizhi, or Menghuo oil, or black oil, or some other random names." Yang Fan thought for a moment and said. "There are a lot of them in northern Shaanxi, and they all flow from the underground to the surface. When we march to northern Shaanxi, we can mine some. Then we can make incendiary bombs."
Zhang Shize thought for a while and said, "I've seen things like Menghuo Oil. It smells bad. It looks black at Sticky Lake and reflects sunlight."
Yang Fan asked: "Where did you see it? Have you been to northern Shaanxi?"
Zhang Shize shook his head and said: "I have never been out of Shuntian Mansion since I was so old. I have been to northern Shaanxi. I remembered that the Ministry of Industry has this thing. It can be waterproof and insect-proof. It is used to deal with termites."
Yang Fan asked in surprise: "Does the Ministry of Industry have many things?"
"There's quite a lot of it. It can treat diseases of livestock and be used as medicine. It prevents wood from rotting and is also used as lubricating material for axles. It extracts carbon black to make ink. It can be burned, and some people use it to boil salt. During the reign of Tianqi, the Ministry of Industry We only have several thousand cars in stock," Zhang Shize said.
[To be honest, I have recently updated it, switched sources, and have many reading sounds. .yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple. 】
Yang Fan originally thought that when he arrived in Yan'an Prefecture, he would send someone to look for mineral veins. I didn't expect to see it right in front of me, and I was overjoyed.
"Do you know anyone in the Ministry of Industry? Can you get some? I'll try and see if I can evaporate gasoline. With gasoline, you can make incendiary bombs." Yang Fan said.
"Master, is there anything special about this kind of incendiary bomb? Fire oil burns easily without treatment." Lin Yueru asked.
"Well, once my incendiary bomb is made, it cannot be extinguished by water. It can float on water and burn. If it touches people and livestock, it will ignite the clothes and hair on the body, and then ignite the fat. It cannot be extinguished by water. On the contrary, it will increase the intensity of the fire." Yang Fan said with a serious expression.
"Ah! This thing is too cruel. As long as this thing splashes on the body, it will burn people alive. This is too terrifying." Xiao Niangpi couldn't help but say.
Zhang Shize disagreed and said: "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Soldiers are crafty. The place of life and death is the way of survival. When you go to the battlefield, you will die or I will live. To destroy the enemy, you must use any means, and you must not be merciful. heart of."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "If this thing is used on the battlefield, it will greatly shock the enemy's heart and destroy their will to resist. But it must not be used to hurt innocent civilians. Today's houses are all made of wood. , using this thing can easily burn the whole city to ashes, so be careful when using it."
Yang Fan asked: "How much fire oil can you get as raw material? I know how to make the distillation equipment and can get it tomorrow."
Zhang Shize said: "I'll take care of this. I'll ask the housekeeper at home to go to the Ministry of Industry to ask for ten or eight cars. It's not a big deal. If you need anything else, tell me quickly and I'll do it for you together." "
"Find some carpenters and blacksmiths, preferably those who have cooked wine and cooked pots. There is no need for anything else." Yang Fan said.
This thing is just a still, nothing difficult. It just takes a little trouble to seal, but it's not a big deal if it leaks a little.
"That's easy. There are blacksmiths and carpenters here. Let's go separate ways and I'll get you some fire oil. You make the steamer here. I'll bring you the fire oil here before noon tomorrow." Zhang Shize is impatient and does whatever he says. He turned around, mounted his horse and left.
Yang Fan took Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru and summoned the carpenters and blacksmiths in the workshop. I found a few people who have used steamers to steam wine. It started in the military camp.
In the foundry, the wood is all ready-made. Because casting requires wooden molds, the dried wood is ready-made and stacked in the warehouse.
These craftsmen usually do private work outside. The craftsmanship is also relatively extensive. Get some of everything. Otherwise, because of the imperial court's failure to pay wages, their whole family would have to starve to death. These carpenters and blacksmiths had good skills, and under Yang Fan's guidance, they quickly took action.
A distillation tower made of wood and iron sheets stood up before dark. Although it is not large, Yang Fan estimates that this equipment is enough to distill about ten tons of crude oil a day.
By ten minutes past midnight, the equipment was completely ready. Yang Fan and others went back to sleep. The next day, Zhang Shize brought the raw materials for Menghuo oil.
Zhang Shize is very positive. Because he was transferred by Chongzhen and took over Yang Fan's car camp, he had to follow him into battle. He knows better than anyone else what kind of virtue these trash in the Beijing camp have. Even if Yang Fan has extraordinary abilities, how far can he improve after a month and a half of life-threatening training?
It is easy to fight against the wind, but attacking a strong city requires a lot of lives.
Let these guys fight such a cruel battle and they will definitely collapse.
The most urgent task now is to find other ways to complete this errand.
The weapon that Yang Fan took out now directly subverted his understanding of firearms.
This heartless cannon is simply terrifyingly powerful. This explosive power can blow everything up, whether it is the enemy's military formation or a city.
At that time, Zhang Shize was dumbfounded by the explosion of fireballs and shock waves.
He estimated that even Jiannu would collapse under such a blow.
This is simply the power of heaven and earth, the fury of thunder. Non-human beings can contend.
Zhang Shize arrived at the Ministry of Industry, went straight to the warehouse, and found a member of his family. This person is not a big official, but he has a lot of power. He is the warehouse ambassador of the chief officer's warehouse. Zhizhiguan of the ninth grade.
In fact, many times, you don’t necessarily need to go to a senior official to get things done. These small officials who are responsible for specific matters are very important, because they can directly handle the matter for you.
"Old Huang, give me ten cars of Menghuo Oil." Zhang Shize said directly without being polite. "I'll make it up for you later."
"Young Master, what are you talking about? No need to make up, no need to make up, I'll just report the loss." Ambassador Huang said with a smile that was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
Gone today.
