Shen Chunliang estimated the course of action in his mind and said, "The two of us will go get the black powder first, and we can use it to make explosive bags. Then we will go to the machine shop first, and we will probably have to do it no matter what. It will take an hour and a half to two hours to get back.”
It took a long time. Although Dong Jinbao was afraid in his heart, he did not show it at all on his face. Instead, he vowed to say frankly, "Go ahead and make sure that when you come back, I will have all the bombs prepared!" After saying these words, he suddenly remembered that neither he nor Tu Hanqing had any black powder in their backpacks, so he asked doubtfully, "It seems we didn't bring those weak black powders?"
"Don't worry about this. Last time Taoist Master and I came here, we hid them in advance and just dug them out later."
"How many did you bring in last time?"
"About a hundred kilograms. We brought in all the ones you made, and almost all of them were made into explosive bags and hidden in batches."
Dong Jinbao gave a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome! What I have done in the past few months weighs at least 1,780 pounds."
"Last time I came here with the Taoist leader, there was a power outage here. There was only a backup power supply. It was easy to get in. Unfortunately, that day was not the time when the superiors asked for action."
Shen Chunliang took Tu Hanqing away and disappeared into the dark factory area, leaving Dong Jinbao in this dark and humid little place.
After taking a few deep breaths, he took out the semi-finished product and started mixing it.
The small spotlights can only emit weak light, which makes Dong Jinbao's final adjustment work very difficult and dangerous.
During this process, his heart was always hanging.
Now he is making dozens of kilograms of preparations. If such a large amount really explodes, he will never feel pain, because the power of the instantaneous explosion can blow him to pieces.
After an unknown amount of time, two buckets of glycerin, one large and one small, were finally mixed. Only then did he dare to take a normal breath.
He lifted up the corner of his clothes to wipe away the sweat, but found that the entire top was soaked with sweat.
After listening carefully and finding nothing unusual, he leaned heavily against the wall and planned to take a rest.
A mouse emerged from the dark corner, shook its head and ran towards Dong Jinbao.
The dim light prevented him from noticing this. The preparation just now consumed a lot of his mind. He was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.
The mouse stopped in front of a plastic bucket containing glycerin, raised his head and sniffed vigorously. The pungent smell in the air made him think that the bucket contained something delicious, so he immediately leaned down Start biting.
The plastic bucket is not a tough material, and a small hole was gnawed out by mice in just a few clicks.
A drop of glycerin seeped out.
As soon as the mouse stuck out its tongue, it was grabbed by a big hand that suddenly appeared in the darkness.
The mouse felt the hand holding him was strong, so he made a "squeak, squeak, squeak," sound, but the scream suddenly stopped immediately.
Hearing the cry of the mouse, Dong Jinbao immediately opened his eyes and began to look around.
This sight almost scared the shit out of him, because a looming figure appeared in front of him.
"Who?" Dong Jinbao asked in a low voice in a hurry.
"Me!" the figure said.
"Rat?"
"Well, hurry up and take a look at your plastic bucket. When I came back, I saw this thing being chewed on!" Tu Hanqing said, holding up the dead rat in his hand.
Dong Jinbao rubbed his eyes and finally saw the mouse in Tu Hanqing's hand.
The moment he saw this little guy, he woke up and crawled over to the plastic bucket to start checking.
After the inspection was completed, he exhaled and said, "The problem is not big. It's just a little leakage, only a few grams. It doesn't affect our mission."
Even so, Dong Jinbao still took a measuring cup and took a glass of water to rinse the leaked glycerin.
Fortunately, Dong Jinbao brought a lot of materials and it was easy to patch the plastic bucket.
After everything was done, he asked, "Where is Ryoko?"
"They are setting up explosives in the machine shop!" Tu Hanqing said calmly. Then he stared at Dong Jinbao and said in a bad tone, "I said, fat man, didn't you sleep during the day?"
Dong Jinbao blushed and whispered, "I didn't sleep much. When I think about the task at night, I am so excited that I can't sleep."
"Hey~" Tu Hanqing wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it because this was not the time to blame his comrades.
Looking at the two large barrels on the ground and some tools scattered around, he asked, "Would you like to take a nap first?"
Dong Jinbao shook his head, "No! It's almost done, except for the final packaging. If you know how much is used to blast the blast furnace, you can complete the final preparation now."
Tu Hanqing thought for a moment and said, "The construction mechanism of the blast furnace here is too complicated and I can't judge it now. But based on the power of glycerin and my past experience, I think it should be at least twenty kilograms."
Dong Jinbao frowned because twenty kilograms was a bit large, "This time we brought only twenty-three kilograms in total. These two buckets, one is 10 liters and the other is 7.5 liters. The ratio of water to glycerol is about 1:1.26. In other words, our total possessions are only 23.05 kilograms! If the blast furnace uses 20 kilograms, then only 3 kilograms are left."
Looking at the two barrels, Tu Hanqing was also a little confused.
Because this blast furnace is not easy to explode!
The so-called blast furnace is not a simple large furnace, but a set of overall large-scale buildings. It uses steel plates as the furnace shell, and the shell is lined with refractory bricks. The body is divided from top to bottom into a furnace throat and a furnace body. , furnace waist, furnace belly and hearth 5 parts.
Tu Hanqing came here twice in total. Every time he saw the huge blast furnace built by Lao Yan, he felt unsure.
It's not that he can't explode or fall down, but that this thing requires too much gunpowder.
They were on a secret mission and could not do it openly, so the amount of gunpowder they could carry was a problem.
Even if they could move together bit by bit like a mouse, it would still take time, and the hidden things might still be discovered.
Fortunately, Dong Jinbao concocted antibacterial glycerin later, which relieved his anxious heart.
After thinking about it in his mind for a while, Tu Hanqing spoke again, "Twenty kilograms cannot be less! If it is less, I am afraid it will not be effective. After all, the thing is almost like an iron lump. If the amount is too small, it will just scratch an itch for him. It is really not possible. The hot-rolling workshop will be stopped for now. Anyway, the blast furnace is finished, and the hot-rolling workshop will no longer be able to work."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Who told you to be an engineer?" Dong Jinbao didn't raise any objections. Although he and Tu Hanqing were both good at playing with explosives, their directions were different. How to use the least amount of explosives like this? The matter of paralyzing a house with explosives was exactly what Tu Hanqing was good at.
As for the yield of explosives, just look at it, readers should not take it seriously.
