Chapter 305
The meaning of life is to be yourself.

"Chemistry?" Wang Haoqian looked surprised.

"Huh?" Yu Fan's expression was even more surprised, "As one of the 16 Hengrun members, you have been in Guanghan Hengrun Chemical Co., Ltd. for so many years, and you are surprised?"

Wang Haoqian said with shame: "I am ashamed to say that although I have worked in such a professional chemical company for so many decades, my work in the company has nothing to do with chemistry."

Yu Fan: "Oh yes, yes, you are in charge of the investment department."

Wang Haoqian continued to ask: "You said you used chemistry? I didn't see what reagents you used. How did you come up with this series of tricks? Why did your wooden stick lightly swipe on the ground? Can it light a fire like a match?"

Yu Fan smiled relaxedly: "Actually, you should thank my father for the 'lighter' provided by him."

Wang Hao had a question mark on his face: "???"

Yu Fan explained: "In addition to attending your banquet yesterday, I also had another task to deliver PP powder to my uncle (the foreshadowing in Chapter 290) for use as a fungicide at home. PP powder is potassium permanganate, ( Potassium permanganate) is dark purple, slender prismatic crystals or particles, with blue metallic luster; odorless; it is prone to explosion when in contact with some organic substances or easy oxides, soluble in water and lye, slightly soluble in Methanol, acetone, sulfuric acid, the molecular formula is KMnO4, the molecular weight is 158.034. The melting point is 240°C, stable, but contact with flammable materials may cause fire.” Yu Fan started his own science popularization mode.

Wang Haoqian: "Did you use this PP powder to ignite the wooden stick?"

Yu Fan shook his head and said, "Potassium permanganate alone is not enough, we also need white sugar! When these people come to trouble you and everyone's eyes are on you, I got some potassium permanganate on the way back to the car." powder, and found a thick cork stick anywhere. Then I swaggered back to your villa and went to your kitchen to get some white sugar. I mixed potassium permanganate and white sugar in a ratio of one to one When mixed, they were spread on sticks, and a little wine was added to the sticks to aid the fire. My 'Large Matches' were thus prepared."

Wang Haoqian said incomprehensibly, "Why does potassium permanganate and white sugar ignite when they are together?"

Yu Fan: "After potassium permanganate and white sugar are mixed together, the potassium permanganate will oxidize the white sugar, and itself will be reduced to produce potassium manganate. This reaction will generate great heat, which will naturally ignite the wooden stick. .I threw this wooden stick in the yard, but no one found it. When I performed, I pretended to pick it up randomly. When I rubbed this stick on the ground, a mixed powder of potassium permanganate and sugar was produced. With a violent reaction, that 'Wisdom Staff' was lit by me."

Wang Haoqian: "Haha, it's really interesting to have you. Then how did you lead the fire to Mayor Zhu's pants? It's very dangerous. Fortunately, I found out yesterday that he was thick and didn't burn. Something big happened."

Yu Fan pretended to be innocent: "Don't talk nonsense, why did I start the fire? It's against the law to set fire to a pig. He set his pants on fire."

Wang Haoqian: "You ignited it yourself?"

Yu Fan: "That's right, blame him for eating so many broad beans."

Wang Haoqian: "Broad beans? What do you mean? I'm confused by what you said."

Yu Fan: "I saw Mayor Zhu eating broad beans by the handful when he was chatting with you (the details in the previous chapters were foreshadowed). If you love broad beans so much, your fart must be very stinky, right?"

Wang Haoqian seemed to understand something: "You mean he ignited the flame on the stick with his fart?"

Yu Fan pushed his glasses and said, "Generally, the components of fart are mainly nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, oxygen, etc. However, if you eat a lot of vegetarian or soy products recently, methane and hydrogen sulfide will increase significantly. There are also onion aldehydes, putrescine, cadaveric ammonia, thiamine, methylmercaptan, methylamine, etc. These latter gases are all flammable gases. I deliberately guided him to use farts to extinguish your transport fire, and Mayor Zhu really took the bait , Go into battle and set yourself on fire with your fart!"

Wang Haoqin clapped his hands and cheered: "Hahaha, it's really you, this fat pig was actually burned by his own fart, hahahaha. But from this point of view, farting is still a very 'dangerous' thing?"

Yu Fan smiled: "Haha, of course, so we often advocate not to fart indiscriminately, not only for the sake of public morality, but also for your own safety. Once, a 30-year-old woman in Japan was undergoing laser resection of cervical tumor During the process, the woman farted suddenly, and as a result, the gas came into contact with the laser beam, causing an accidental fire at Tokyo Medical University Hospital, and the woman was severely burned from the waist to her legs. The report pointed out that there was no flammable gas in the operating room at that time, and the fire The reason is indeed that the woman farted suddenly during the laser surgery, and the gas released came into contact with the laser light and caused a fire."

Wang Haoqian laughed even harder, and he was very happy in his heart. He laughed so much that he coughed, so he had to drink two sips of tea to calm down his emotions.

Wang Haoqian calmed down for a moment, and continued to ask: "Then mayor Zhu's car caught fire, right? Why did you lead the fire to the car again?"

Yu Fan also smiled and said, "Oh, that's true, I did it too, but I didn't lead the fire there, but the ignition equipment I prepared in advance."

Wang Haoqian: "Ignition equipment? Where did you get this thing?"

Yu Fan said casually: "When I came back from taking the potassium permanganate, I picked up a piece of cloth on the ground and soaked it in some water. When I came back, when you were busy inside and no one was paying attention, I threw this piece of cloth away." On the battery of his car. The wet cloth is conductive, connecting the positive and negative poles of the battery, directly forming a short circuit, and a flame is generated. It’s just that the fire in this car burns a little faster, I haven’t played enough yet... ..."

Wang Haoqian: "You are doing too dangerously, what if the car explodes?"

Yu Fan: "Uncle Wang, you are worrying too much. If a car catches fire, as long as it doesn't reach the fuel tank, it won't explode. The engine of a car is in the front and the fuel tank is in the back, so it won't catch fire. And even if the fire spreads to the fuel tank, it won't explode. Immediately explode, the most basic safety system of the oil pump is to automatically cut off the oil circuit in case of collision or oil leakage, the oil pump will stop working, and the circuit will be disconnected, so even if there is gasoline in the oil circuit at this time, the car will not explode , at most it’s burning.”

Wang Haoqian: "Although these tricks of yours are ingenious, they are indeed a little too much. Hey, you young people are not serious in doing things." Wang Haoqian began to educate.

Yu Fan: "Evil people need evil rule of law! Even in a temple that promotes generosity and patience, behind the 'Smiling Tathagata' at the entrance is 'Angry King Kong'. Can't make some articles with their asses?"

Wang Haoqin let out a hearty laugh again.
