Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The redhead was quite surprised that Lin Yuan interrupted him, and he asked, "Are you surprised that I have fertilizer?"

Lin Yuan quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you can continue."

The redhead said again: "I heard people say that the peasants in the Qing Dynasty were very poor. They were so poor that they could not eat. According to research in the British Empire, nitrogen is needed for plant growth, and the synthesis speed of plants is relatively slow. If we add ionic nitrogen to the land, then the plants will grow very fast, so I shipped a lot of ammonium nitrate.”

Like a preaching missionary, the red-haired man began to talk endlessly: "Where do you think all human behaviors come from? It all comes from human curiosity-seeking psychology. If you think about it, if people have money, they will To satisfy this kind of mentality, I also brought in formalin and used it to soak some rare animals for people to see. When those farmers have money, they will come to see it. Tell me, isn’t my method very ingenious? ?”

Lin Yuan burst out laughing in his heart, he thought: "What nonsense are you talking about? With your thoughts, if you can make money, you'll be hell! But it's also understandable, just like opium Before the war, the goods that the British traded with the Qing court turned out to be a large number of nightgowns and nightcaps, and they thought, there are so many people in the Qing Dynasty, and one nightcap per person can make a lot of money!"

The red-haired got excited when he said this, he drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp, and there were more vulgar words in his words, and said: "Who knew that when I came here, I realized that my things can't be sold at all. Get out! Do you know how much that ammonium nitrate costs to buy! Do you know how much it costs to store it! If it is not managed well, it will explode, and I will lose money. Sometimes I really want to Boom, let them blow me up into the sky."

Lin Yuan knew that the large-scale production of chemical fertilizers would have to wait until the [-]th century, when the method of industrial ammonia synthesis appeared, so he knew that these chemical fertilizers must be very expensive, and he smiled: "You don't have to worry, I bought them all!"

The redhead couldn't believe his ears, he widened his eyes and asked, "Is what you said true?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

The red-haired turned his head excitedly, and shouted at the bartender: "See, all my goods are sold!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I didn't expect to get all the required materials so quickly. The method of making urotropine is to mix formaldehyde solution and ammonia water, and heat ammonium nitrate to get ammonia gas. With ammonia gas, ammonia water can also be produced. It's not a problem."

The redhead offered to pay for the freight and asked someone to deliver them to the designated place. Lin Yuan followed him to the pier and returned to the Machine Bureau after everything was checked.

It was already dark at this time, but the machine bureau was still working overtime to make the reaction container, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The current conditions are too simple to produce a large amount of Hexogen, but first take care of the immediate matter , let’s make plans later.”

Lin Yuan found Su Mao and told him, "When urotropine reacts with nitric acid, a lot of heat will be generated. Be sure to stir carefully."

Su Mao said: "Don't worry, we all come here in strict accordance with the technical standards. Now the work of the whole factory has stopped, and we will go all out to make this kind of gunpowder and shells."

Lin Yuan said: "The manufacture of shells depends on foreign craftsmen, so it is impossible to keep them secret, but this new type of explosive must be strictly kept secret."

Su Mao said again: "I think the final process is to wrap the refined Hexorkin with paraffin. Why?"

Lin Yuan said: "Hexogen is too sensitive. It may explode when it is hit. If you wrap it in paraffin, it will not be so sensitive. The paraffin acts as a passivator."

Seeing Su Mao nodding in agreement, Lin Yuan knew that the last and most critical step of his plan was left.

When Lin Yuan returned to Beijing, he heard a newsboy shouting, "Extra! Extra! The Japanese invaded the Fengtian Imperial Palace! The latest news from the Kanto News only costs three copper coins!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly bought a copy, only to see the headline in the newspaper banner: Unprecedented Shame!Below is a photo of a Japanese military officer sitting on a dragon chair in the Shenyang Imperial Palace with a saber.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This time, the pressure on the whole court will increase sharply, and they will definitely hand over all the troops in their hands to me and let me take them to the front line!"

Lin Yuan took the newspaper and went to Prince Gong's mansion. After all, it was the mansion of Prince Gong. Its demeanor was different from other high-ranking officials' mansions. The people at the entrance were all wearing sixth-rank official clothes.

Lin Yuan reported his name, went in to report the matter, and came out after a long time, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Lin, please go back, our lord is unwell today, and we don't see any guests!"

Lin Yuan stuffed a piece of money in it, and said with a smile, "Can you tell me what's wrong with your lord?"

He said with a serious smile: "It's not the Japanese who made trouble. They entered Fengtian's palace, and the Holy Lord Longyan was furious! Our prince is also having a hard time."

Lin Yuan took out another piece of money and said with a smile: "Go and tell the prince that I am here to treat his illness. If you let me see the prince, this piece of money will be yours!"

Seeing Yin Zi, the person who was involved, his eyes turned blue, he nodded and went back, and soon led Lin Yuan in.

Lin Yuan never knelt or kowtowed when meeting high-ranking officials of the Qing court. It is impossible for people from the 21st century not to resist that. Moreover, kneeling and kowtowing is not a simple matter. Where do you put your hands? There are rules on where to put your head, so Lin Yuan doesn't bother to remember!

Prince Gong was displeased when he saw Lin Yuan standing and not kneeling after entering the door. Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Congratulations to the prince!"

Prince Gong became furious when he heard this, thinking: "Where is the joy!" But he didn't want to get angry, so he agreed coldly.

Lin Yuan smiled again: "I have found a way to crack the Japanese bunker!"

When Prince Gong heard this, he immediately stood up and said anxiously: "But it's true? If you dare to make jokes about such a military matter, do you want your brains?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "How dare I! In this way, after two days, please come to Tianjin Machinery Bureau, and I will show you."

Prince Gong agreed, so Lin Yuan went to the Machinery Bureau to prepare. After two days of sleepless days, he finally made two bullets.

On the day of the demonstration, Prince Gong brought Yuan Shikai and other military attaches to the Machine Bureau. Su Mao and the others had already poured concrete into a fortress in the open space. Fade Chen operated the mortar himself to demonstrate.

Prince Gong first went to the cannonballs to have a look, and seeing that there were only two cannonballs, he became suspicious. Yuan Shikai vaguely felt that Lin Yuan was going to take away the position of supervisor of the Dingwu Army, so he secretly said to Prince Gong: "This Lin Yuan has always exaggerated, I don't know what tricks he is going to play this time."

At this moment, Lin shouted from a distance: "The exhibition has begun, please take a closer look!"

Before the words fell, there was only a whistle, and the shell left the chamber and landed on the bunker accurately, followed by a dull explosion sound, and a cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the bunker.

Prince Gong hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked towards the bunker. Seeing this, he couldn't help being furious!
