I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar

Chapter 182 Homemade Incendiary Bomb

Chen Chen's plan was very clear, but when he actually executed it, he discovered a huge problem.

That is, these days, there are no lithium battery electric vehicles in Laojie.

When they walked into the electric vehicle store on the commercial street and asked to buy some spare lithium batteries for electric vehicles, the owner of the store looked at them like they were monsters and then said:

"Want lithium batteries? You go to Shanghai to buy them. Why are you here?"

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"No lithium batteries? Not even one?"

"Where can I find lithium batteries for you? Mobile phone stores have them. You can buy them yourself."

It was only then that Chen Chen finally realized that at this point in time in 2010, lithium batteries were not really popular yet.

This gave him a strong sense of unreality. He still remembered that before time travel in his last life, most of the electric cars running on the streets were equipped with lithium batteries. Even some high-end electric car brands began to claim that they would Launched an impact on more advanced sulfur batteries.

It's only been more than ten years. Is science and technology progressing so fast?

The three of them walked out of the store helplessly, and Shi Dakai asked:

"Captain, what should we do now? Let's go to the mobile phone store to sell some small batteries and come back?"

"Come on, how many batteries are needed to create a large-scale explosion effect? And if we buy batteries on a large scale - let alone batteries, even if we buy mobile phones, it will attract unnecessary attention."

"What if the boss reports it directly to the police camp? Forget it, we can't use lithium batteries, and it's not like we don't have other high-energy fuels."

"You know that I can't just make one plan."

Hearing this, Shi Dakai nodded in agreement.

Back when Wan Heno was fighting, he could come up with six plans. How could there be no alternatives for such a big thing now?

So, he looked at Chen Chen expectantly, waiting for his answer.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Chen said:

"I can think of a lot of high-energy fuels, but if you have to take into account volume, temperature, and combustion rate, there aren't too many options."

"In addition, we need to consider the difficulty of preparation and the difficulty of obtaining materials."

Chen Chen paused and frowned.

There are no chemical stores in Old Street, which is a big problem.

Of course, if there were any, I wouldn't have to think about any "local methods", Big Ivan could do it.

However, there are some chemical agents that cannot be purchased at chemical supply stores.

He carefully calculated all the equipment needed, and then continued:

"Baigou, you go and do a few things."

"First, go to the car repair shop to collect some aluminum foil. I remember that places like this should sell finished aluminum foil. If not, go to the food packaging factory and have a look. They should also have it."

"Note, not tin-aluminum alloy, but pure aluminum foil."

"Second, go find a place to buy me a can of hydrogen. This stuff is sold everywhere. Check to see if it's available in a jewelry store. If not, go to the supermarket. If you really can't find it, go find me an electric grinder. The plane is back."

"Third, go and buy some beakers, alcohol lamps, rubber tubes, scales, pressure cookers, and a barrel of gasoline for me. I'll make a list for you later."

"clear."

Bai Gou nodded immediately, and then Chen Chen said to Shi Dakai:

"You also go and prepare something."

"First, go to the hospital to get some PP powder and bring it back. The amount should be large, at least 5 kilograms or more. If it's not enough, go to a few more stores. This thing is not a controlled product, so no one will ask more questions."

"Second, there should be anhydrous copper sulfate in the agricultural supplies store. Go get a bag and bring it back."

"Third, I just passed by a few meat and food stores. Their hair removal from pig and sheep heads was very clean. Ask them if they have caustic soda. If they have it, I will bring it back. If the food store does not have it, there is one near the old street. From a few printing, dyeing and textile factories, you go steal some."

"Fourth, check in the supermarket to see if there are baby warm patches, the kind that heat up on their own, you know? Go buy some and sell more."

"clear!"

Shi Dakai also answered immediately.

After everything was arranged, everyone immediately separated and acted alone. Chen Chen bought a few mobile phones, a few wires, and a few circuit boards, and then ran to the Wynn Palace Hotel to open a suite and check in.

Their characters are not ordinary people, but guests who come from the north to gamble. Therefore, staying in a luxury hotel is in line with their status.

No one had to ask a single question during the process. This is the rule of the old street.

After checking in, Chen Chen quickly checked all the configurations in the room. After confirming that there were no cameras, he started to arrange the preparation environment with confidence.

And just when he was busy, Shi Dakai suddenly called.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he brought some good news that Chen Chen didn't expect.

"Captain, I found something good."

"What good stuff?"

Chen Chen asked doubtfully.

"Aluminum powder, you want aluminum foil and hydrogen, don't you just want to make aluminum powder?"

".How did you know?"

"I read a book, the home version of thermite preparation method."

".OK."

Chen Chen took a breath and continued to ask:

"How granular?"

"I don't know, they don't know it themselves, but they must be detailed enough, right?"

If there really is aluminum powder, it can really be said to be serious and detailed.

Because fireworks aluminum powder generally uses 80 to 200 mesh, which is below 500 microns.

However, this thing is a compulsorily controlled item, so it’s okay to ask, but it’s easy to cause problems if you actually buy it.

"Forget it, don't buy it yet."

"Let's try the hydrogen replacement method first. It's not troublesome."

"I understand, then I'll leave a line here first. If it doesn't work, we can come here, steal it and run away."

".Alright. How about caustic soda?"

Chen Chen asked.

"There is plenty of caustic soda. We have already obtained it, powdered sodium hydroxide, 99% pure."

"Where did it happen?"

"Agricultural supplies store, together with anhydrous copper sulfate."

"Awesome, the agricultural supplies store on the old street even sells this?"

"There are a lot of them. I guess they are all bought by the hotel food factory. I found the baby warmers. I will buy them back soon."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

Chen Chen hung up the phone and couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Dakai is becoming more and more reliable. His movements are fast and efficient. The main thing is that he is easy to understand and can understand what he means.

On the other hand, White Dog is almost meaningless.

I asked him to buy some materials for preparing aluminum powder, but he still doesn't believe it.

Chen Chen shook his head and continued his work.

After simply cleaning up, he did not stay in the room. Instead, he went down to the casino on the first floor, exchanged 10,000 US dollars in chips, and started playing blackjack without any chips.

The blackjack gameplay here is a bit different from other serious casinos, because it actually has five little dragons.

It can be said that the casinos here have taken the concept of "amplifying gambling" to the extreme, and it is precisely for this reason that this place can replace Macau as the first choice for bad gamblers.

Chen Chen's luck was very average. Of course, he didn't play seriously at all. He was just secretly observing the poor gamblers who were wandering in the hall, waiting to pick up chips and exchange a few good words for happy money. Want to Find a few suitable candidates among them.

The person he wants must be crazy enough, but still have some sense; he must have been to high places, but now he is completely helpless.

People who give up on themselves are not good, they have to be the kind of people who want to seize every opportunity to make money.

In more than two hours, he actually saw several suitable ones.

However, now is not the time to take the initiative to contact them.

Wait until the equipment is ready, then consider the next steps.

If it doesn't work, you can actually open a room to put fuel on your own. It's relatively risky, but it's not that difficult to escape while taking advantage of the chaos.

When Liu Abao's casino was burned down, wasn't it Peng Deren's own people who did it?

The murderer who set the fire had not been caught by the time he traveled through time.

Chen Chen had something on his mind, but he still pretended to worry about gains and losses while playing cards. His behavior was no different from any gambling dog here. After finally losing the last chip, he stood up in relief and returned to the game. in the room.

At this time, Bai Gou and Shi Dakai had already arrived.

The equipment and reagents were all complete - according to Chen Chen's instructions, they did not bring them all back at once, but transported them in backpacks several times without attracting the attention of the security personnel.

"Captain, what exactly are we going to build?"

Bai Gou asked impatiently.

"I asked you to read the book but you didn't. Are you dumbfounded at the critical moment?"

Chen Chenwei scolded him angrily, and then replied:

"Thermite bomb!"

"Thermite bomb?!"

The white dog was stunned.

“Can you still make this thing yourself??”

"What's weird? It's just a home version. The process is very simple. It is a relatively common small chemical experiment."

Chen Chen rolled his eyes and explained:

"This means that there is nothing in this shabby place like Old Street. If it's in China, I mean, if it's in other big cities, you can buy solder powder for welding directly, and that stuff is enough."

"Are you so awesome?"

The white dog sighed, and then continued to ask:

"To make thermite, what is hydrogen used for?"

"Make aluminum powder!"

"What about caustic soda?"

"Making copper oxide."

"Where's the potassium permanganate?"

"Oxidant, supports combustion."

"Where's Baby Nuan?"

"Iron oxide!"

"Oh, no, there is iron oxide, why do we need copper oxide?"

"The iron oxide particles are too big and the reaction contact surface is not enough. We have to rely on copper oxide to improve it. Forget it, don't ask, just do as I say!"

In fact, aluminum foil and pp powder are enough for ordinary thermite. The reason why Chen Chen had to prepare so much was to maximize the effect under limited conditions.

He didn't bother to explain, and Bai Gou immediately shut up. So, under Chen Chen's command, a few people spent a full three hours to create the first batch of products in the living room of the Wynn Hotel suite. Thermite material.

The process is really simple. So simple that it even makes Bai Gou a little confused.

The only thing that is a bit difficult is the production of aluminum powder.

However, it is really within the range that can be operated at home.

Looking at the two piles of powder in front of him, Bai Gou asked subconsciously:

"Is this the end? How to light it?"

"Um, I forgot to buy gunpowder, but you can just burn it."

"I bought two fireworks."

Shi Dakai interrupted.

"here you go!"

Chen Chen said approvingly.

Later, in the hotel bathroom, they witnessed a dazzling thermite combustion.

"The effect is okay, but the particles are still too big."

Chen Chen said slightly disappointed.

"However, it is definitely enough for setting fire. You don't need too much. Just placing it in two places is enough. What about the pressure cooker?"

"I bought 4."

"Just use two. Come on, now, fill these two pots!"

"You don't need too much aluminum powder, just one-third is enough, and fill the remaining parts with aluminum foil!"

"clear!"

It took a whole day for Chen Chen to prepare everything they needed.

On the other hand, according to Peng Deren's feedback, his negotiations with Myanmar are still in progress. Wei Chaoren seems to have made some changes, but he has not launched direct retaliation yet.

This also means that the Dongfeng Corps has sufficient time.

When the lids of the two pressure cookers were closed, the circuits were connected, and they were packed into the suitcase, Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He went downstairs with Bai Gou and found two gambling dogs that he had taken a liking to before entering the suite.

The gambling dog who received the reward obeyed his words, and he didn't waste any words. He pointed directly at the suitcase and said:

"Here are two jammers that can interfere with the programming of slot machines in the casino."

"We're going to use it at the Henry's Hotel and make a fortune tonight."

"We need two assistants to go to their hotel rooms and place the jammer - you don't have to do anything, you just put it in the room and just go downstairs."

"As for the reward, it's ten thousand dollars per person."

"At the same time, we allow you to fish with us."

"You can use this ten thousand US dollars as gambling capital to play slot machines."

"We'll leave in six hours."

"How much you can get depends on your ability."

As soon as he said these words, the expressions on the faces of the two gambling dogs immediately changed.

Maybe in the days when they were cut off from the casino and drank their blood, they had fantasized about using various ways to take revenge on the casino countless times, but now, the opportunity is right in front of them!

Not only can you take revenge, you can even make money!

Why not do this kind of business? !

Without any hesitation, the two people immediately said:

"I'll do it!"

"I'll do it too!"

Chen Chen nodded and said to Shi Dakai:

"No. 3, get them money."

"Give me 1,000 first, go change into better clothes, have a meal, and get a room - separate floors."

"After you put your stuff away, I'll tell you where to get the rest of the money."

"It's up to you, boss!"

The two people who took the money were beaming with joy. An hour later, they both changed their clothes and returned to the hotel.

What Chen Chen thought was a relatively difficult step was easily solved.
