Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 363 Bullets
The development of incendiary bombs will soon be put on the agenda.

In order to shorten the research and development time, Su Xin divided the research and development into two parts at the same time.

One part is the trial production of napalm, and Su Xin gave it another name called viscous gasoline... This name is really more vivid than napalm, after all, it is only viscous but not solidified.

The cycloalkanes are directly transferred from the oil field, and this stuff was used as waste water before, because I don’t know what it’s useful for.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army’s exploitation and utilization rate of oil was very low. The oil fields only produced gasoline, diesel and kerosene. The former two were used for power generation, while the latter was used for lighting. Other derivative products were basically not developed or even did not know how to develop them.

Many things are actually developed and not used.

For example, asphalt... I can't get enough to eat, and I have to go into the mountains to fight guerrillas. Of course, it is impossible and unnecessary to build an asphalt road.

More importantly, asphalt roads are more suitable for mechanized troops, while the Eighth Route Army relies on two legs, or mule carts, donkey carts, and horse-drawn carts. Wouldn't it be convenient for devils to build an asphalt road?
So as soon as Wang Xuexin asked, the oil field immediately sent naphthenes, and said how much he wanted in the future.

Wu Jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is this a success?"

No one can be sure, because there is no instrument that can't measure how many degrees it is.

But this time Su Xin learned to be smart.

"Find a piece of iron sheet!" Su Xin said, "The melting point of iron is about 1300 degrees. If it can melt the iron sheet, it proves that its temperature is high enough!"

Everyone thinks about it, it is true, this is the same as using silver dollars to monitor the temperature of the stove.

After a while, Hardware took a piece of discarded leftover material, and still picked some with branches and put them on the iron sheet.

As soon as it was ignited, flames and smoke rose up in a flash, and after a few seconds, when it was completely burned, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, the iron sheet was burned to the bottom.

"Good guy!" Wu Jin smacked his tongue: "If it sticks to a person and burns, then it's okay? The bones are all burnt!"

Su Xin's face was a little pale, she looked at Wang Xuexin, and wanted to say something but she still didn't say it.

Wang Xuexin knew the meaning of Su Xin's expression.

When she was told by Wujin, she thought of how horrible and miserable this thing is when it burns on people, so she couldn't bear it.

But Wang Xuexin felt that this was no problem.

Has the devil ever been kind to the Chinese people?
At this time, there should be no womanly kindness, and napalm is just to let them pay off their debts.

Another step was the design of the shell.

The difficulty with this is that it requires a little change to the fuze.

The fuzes of the Eighth Route Army are all installed at the front of the shells. If it is not changed, it means that the explosives will also be installed at the front and napalm at the rear.

This is obviously a problem, because when the shell is triggered, the explosive at the front will explode and spray napalm backwards. Didn't it hit yourself?
In particular, the range of the bazooka is only tens of meters, so you will kill yourself if you play like this.

Therefore, it is necessary to divide the fuze into two parts, and the front end is connected to the rear end with a wire. After triggering, it is powered on to ignite the gunpowder at the rear, and once it explodes...the napalm at the front will spray forward.

This aspect is solved by hardware. It is not a big problem, but it is more troublesome to produce fuzes.

While everyone was looking forward to the appearance of this new equipment, Wang Xuexin was already thinking about further issues.

"Factory Manager!" Wang Xuexin said to Zhang Wanhe while busy assembling, "I was thinking, we have this viscous gasoline, so we can't just use it on rocket launchers!"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Wanhe turned around and asked while spinning the gunpowder in his hand: "Aren't we just for building bunkers? I think it's good for rocket launchers, no problem!"

"Factory manager!" Wang Xuexin said, "What if we attack infantry hundreds of meters away?"

Zhang Wanhe was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up suddenly: "You mean... Fifty Little Pao?"

"That's right, it's the 50-point cannon!" Wang Xuexin said, "Look, our bazooka still needs to be fired with a gunpowder column, and it can only hit [-] meters. For a few hundred meters, let’s put this viscous gasoline inside and turn it into an incendiary bomb. That thing only needs propellant powder and does not need solid gunpowder column...”

Needless to say what is good about this.

The propellants of the Eighth Route Army also used black gunpowder, which was much cheaper than solid gunpowder columns. It was cheap and could hit farther, and its lethality was much greater than that of the original artillery shells...

The reason is that the shells of the [-] small guns are not grooved inside like grenades, and the charge is also black powder, so the shrapnel is less lethal and not enough.

Incendiary bombs are different, the viscous gasoline is not thrown around when it explodes.

As long as it is thrown to a certain point, it can easily burn a piece with its high temperature of more than 1000 degrees, which can make the enemy lose its combat effectiveness on the spot.

More importantly, after burning this thing, a large amount of highly toxic substances will remain. These highly toxic substances enter the blood through the open wound of the burn, causing blood poisoning of the wounded to be extremely difficult to treat.

In this way, what is properly included in the five zero cannon is the lethality multiplier.

Zhang Wanhe patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder excitedly, and said, "Okay, Xiaodongbei, you have made a whole thing, which will give all our artillery more ammunition!"

Su Xin was inspired after hearing this.

"All artillery?" Su Xin turned around: "What about our 'ghost cannon' and 'rocket launcher'?"

Zhang Wanhe and Wang Xuexin were taken aback for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

This is indeed possible.

The cost of napalm is very low, and it is cost-effective just to replace the black powder in the shells with it, not to mention the increase in lethality.

What's more, the next time there is an attack on the devil's airport, the effect of using incendiary bombs will definitely be better than grenades.
