Chapter 32 You Control My Chemical Fear
When a person is busy, time always passes quickly, and before you know it, night falls again.

On the open space above the origin base, large pieces of meat are hanging on several temporary large wooden shelves.

The extinguished charcoal fire is smoking and roasting the venison above. After being smoked in this way, the meat can be preserved for a long time.

Nearby is the famous Sivash Lake in Crimea, which is the pink salt lake discovered by Li Ge and the others.

The water contains more than 2 million tons of various types of salt. Using ether particles can even avoid many cumbersome procedures and directly extract it into fine salt, so they are not short of salt, and they can use salt to smoke meat at will.

In order to isolate the poisonous gas from the outside, an independent air purification system is used inside the base, so the thick smoke cannot dissipate so quickly in that underground environment.

Brother Li and Heygou have already gone offline. They have other jobs during the day, but the smell of meat is easy to attract beasts and needs guards, so they stayed in Lincheng.

Lincheng collected the excrement of the fine-toothed bear and placed it around, and lit a bonfire in front of him, hoping to have a warning effect.

He can only watch here silently, the night is very quiet, under the moonlight, animals in the distance can be vaguely seen walking, the lake reflects the bright moonlight, as if covered with a piece of silver tulle, it is very beautiful.

Winter is approaching, and the night breeze carries a slight chill. Lincheng can clearly feel that there are countless pairs of green eyes staring at this place. It is the sight of wild wolves and hyenas. They are staring at the wooden shelf. The hanging meat has endless greed in its eyes.

Suddenly, the sudden movement from one side made Lincheng's nerves tense, he turned his head suddenly, and saw Mendeleev coming up from the hillside with a bamboo basket on his back.

"It seems that you have gained a lot today." Mendeleev looked at the bacon and said.

"In addition to keeping some meat for food, some were also decomposed and transformed into ether particles."

Lincheng looked at the bamboo basket behind Mendeleev, which contained some red soil.

"what is that?"

"Kaolin is used to make blast furnaces. The refractoriness of pure kaolin is generally around 1700°C, and the minimum is not less than 1500°C. I also went to the beach to dig some limestone today. I should be able to complete a blast furnace tonight."

"You can issue missions to those players, it's dangerous outside," Lincheng said.

Mendeleev lifted up his outer clothes, revealing what was hanging around his waist. It was a small white bag wrapped in cloth. He took the small white bag off, lit the fuse with a match, and tossed it aside. lost.

After a few seconds.

"boom!!!"

The flames bursting out in front of his eyes and the loud noise made Lincheng's heart skip a beat.

Fortunately, the explosion time was very short, and it just shocked him, and it was thrown far away, so the soil from the explosion did not fly to the bacon here.

"It's nitroglycerin," said Mendeleev.

"You take this with you?"

And Mendeleev smiled, "Don't worry, I absorbed nitroglycerin with diatomaceous earth. It is very stable. If the detonator is not ignited, it will not detonate. Fortunately, there is still some mercury in the base, which can be given to me." Make a detonator."

"How did you make it?" Lincheng asked curiously.

"The detonator is mercury fulminate in a small tube. The mercury is sensitive to impact, friction, flame and electric spark. The ignition point is 5 to 170 degrees in 180 minutes, and 210 degrees in five seconds.

Mercury nitrate is produced by the action of mercury (mercury) and nitric acid, and then mercuric nitrate is reacted with ethanol to produce mercury fulminate, and ethanol is alcohol.

With the dynamite, I'm safe.Tesla was tinkering with his car, Einstein and Planck were experimenting with aether particles compressing atomic nuclei, and Leonardo da Vinci was designing some machinery for the construction that followed.

You know, I'm a restless person, I always have to find something to do. "

That's right, you died suddenly because of too much work, Lincheng complained in his heart.

In order to leave his thoughts and research results to future generations in the form of writings, Mendeleev was still immersed in writing his autobiography when his health was not well, and finally passed away in the early morning holding a pen.

After the explosion of the explosive just now, the surrounding wolves and hyenas scattered and fled in all directions. Presumably because of this, Mendeleev ignited the explosive, which relieved a lot of pressure on Lincheng.

"If possible, can Nobel come? He knows more about gunpowder and explosives than I do. He invented the detonator. In this way, I can concentrate on researching the rest." Mendeleev said .

"Einstein also asked me to bring Fermi back. The two of them haven't been apart for a long time, and they should be able to come back together." Lincheng murmured softly, "But we can't afford it now."

Mendeleev put the bamboo basket behind his back and sat beside Lincheng, quietly guarding the thick smoke.

"Are you still used to living these days?" Lincheng asked, "When those players come in tomorrow, it won't be long before we can live in a big house."

Mendeleev smiled, "It's okay, I have never had high requirements for this kind of material needs, and I prefer to spend my time on scientific research."

He quietly looked at the faint bonfire in front of him, the wood crackled under the flames, the fire was reflected in his eyes, and memories of the past emerged in his mind.

"When I was a few months old, my father became ill and lost his sight. He lost his job. The whole family struggled to survive on my father's meager pension.

Not long after, life was really hard to sustain, so our family had to join my uncle who ran a small glass factory to smelt and process glass. But when I was 13, my father passed away again, and when I was 14, the glass factory was burned down again. Ashes, that time was much more difficult than it is now.

Not only to study, but also to consider the livelihood of myself and my family. "

"When fate closes a door for you, it always opens a window for you. It makes you a genius." Lincheng said.

Mendeleev smiled and said, "I never believed in fate, there is no achievement in the world by chance.

It's just that most people only see the success of others and often ignore the long-term hard work and dedication behind them, and explain it with good luck or other reasons, so "bad luck" compared to their own performance becomes the best excuse for failure .

Talent is important, but if you don't work hard, you will never be a genius. "

Lincheng nodded, and then he said half-jokingly, "It's no secret that you dominated my entire junior high school chemical fear."

Mendeleev laughed heartily.
