Chapter 96: Thermobaric Grenades, Coming Out!.

Chapter 96 Thermobaric grenades, come out!

Of course, Qi Wei did not know that the change he had been waiting for would come so quickly and so early.

He didn’t know that his casual nonsense actually made the first person in the military of the Dragon Kingdom interested in him, and planned to take time out of the day and take time to meet him specifically.

He was still in the seventh workshop, ready to get the thermobaric bomb out.

Three days passed, and on the morning of the fourth day, everyone in the seventh workshop gathered in the assembly room again.

All of them wore raincoat-like things and air filters with goggles, covering their whole bodies tightly.

This is the clothing used in the seventh workshop to prevent nuclear and biochemical warfare. As for why he was dressed like this, it was obviously related to the cylindrical object in Qi Wei’s hand.

Zhang Jianguo and Li Fu’s work ability is really not to be said, and Qian Gouyu and Qian Siya’s learning ability is also very strong, and the hands-on ability is also good.

In just three days, the seventh workshop has processed more than a dozen gun barrels, and the molds required for the receiver and other components have been prepared, waiting for the people of Qijia Village to finish their agricultural affairs and arrive at the seventh workshop, and they can start large-scale work.

What impressed Qi Wei the most was that Zhang Jianguo and Li Fu were busy guiding Qian Gouyu and Qian Siya’s two man-made guns, while changing the mold, and actually quickly made the gun hanging grenade, and even the grenade launcher was ready.

Of course, the gun-mounted grenade launcher, as well as the structure of the grenade, are not complicated, and the process itself is very simple. This is also the consistent characteristic of the drawings produced by Qi Wei, the value is the idea, the craftsmanship is all dragon country, and even the seventh workshop can do.

After all, it is just beginning, of course, Qi Wei will choose something that is easier to get started, so as not to pull the egg.

What Qi Wei was holding in his hand was the gun-mounted grenade made by Zhang Jianguo and Li Fu, to be precise, the shell. Qi Wei looked at the grenade in his hand, the grenade was not painted, and of course the shell-like things could not be painted.

Therefore, this grenade is still the base color of brass at this time, Zhang Jianguo and Li Fu have processed it very carefully, the whole grenade is smooth, feels very comfortable, does not have any burrs, and there are no flaws in the shape.

“Good craftsmanship.”

Qi Wei gave a thumbs up to the two of them in an angry manner.

The expressions of the two could not be seen through the masks, but Zhang Jianguo was obviously not happy or proud because of this compliment. After all, the craft of this thing is very simple, and the seventh workshop was also this profession before, and there is nothing to be proud of.

“The fuse is already installed, be careful.”

He reminded with the same urn.

Qi Wei nodded slightly, the grenade in front of him was close to completion, and there were only two steps left. Install the internal thermobaric charge, as well as add the primer.

The primer only needs to be screwed into the bottom of the grenade, and the primer and propellant of this small grenade are integrated, which is slightly different from the bullet.

The real key point is the thermobaric charge inside, which is also the core part of the thermobaric bomb. Of course, the most dangerous part.

The components of the thermobaric charge are poisonous, and they are still highly toxic, which is why everyone dresses up like this. As for the explosion, Qi Wei was not worried.

Shells are insured, for example, mortars, there are two insurances, one is called inertial insurance.

The head of the mortar shell has a grenade-like latch, which needs to be unplugged before firing, so that the inertia safety is opened. Then when fired, the primer hit the bottom of the mortar barrel, the shell was fired, the inertial safety was officially lifted, and the touch fuse began to activate.

This is also the reason why the soldiers used mortar shells as grenades to throw them before knocking the tail of the shell on a hard object.

Of course, this insurance was still used in World War II, and it is not very safe. Because no one can guarantee that the propellant will not get wet, causing the shell to fall after less than a meter, and then explode at the feet of the launcher.

This kind of thing often happens, and many artillerymen in World War II died because of this. So after World War II, the grenade added a second insurance, called electromagnetic insurance.

The head of the grenade has a small turbine, and a small generator is attached to this small turbine. During the flight of the grenade, the turbine rotates due to the air flow, allowing the small generator to generate electricity.

Only when the turbine rotates to a certain number of turns and the voltage emitted by the small generator is sufficient, will the electromagnet inside generate enough magnetic force, release the electromagnetic safety, and the fuse will start working.

The delayed detonation fuse for air explosion is similar to this principle. In fact, electromagnetic insurance itself is a delayed detonation fuse. When installing the fuse, the maximum number of laps will be set, and the maximum number of laps has not hit the target, that is, it has not yet landed, the fuse will automatically trigger, and the shell will explode in the air to self-destruct, avoiding falling to the wrong place and causing accidental injury.

However, it is obviously unlikely that such a small body as a gun grenade will be stuffed with two fuses, because there is only one spin electromagnetic safety than this grenade.

This is enough, spin insurance is actually more reliable than inertial insurance, and it can also ensure that in case there is an obstacle in front of the shooter, the shell directly dries to the obstacle and does not directly blow up the shooter.

Of course, the shell can explode without triggering the fuse, after all, there is a small detonator inside. However, the explosion power of the small detonator is very small, and it needs to be touched with iron or charged objects to explode, and Qi Wei has already worn plastic gloves, and the probability of blowing up is extremely small.

Zhang Jianguo only reminded himself that what he was really worried about was still the paper bags on the table in front of Qi Wei. Inside the paper package was the thermobaric charge that Qi Wei wanted to fill. These materials were all approved by the Handong Ordnance Industry Group, which can now be said to be responsive to the seven workshops, propellants, primers, detonators, fuses, and even charges.

The charge has already been mixed at this time, a loose pile of powder, even the weight is weighed, accurate 100 grams, not much in one gram, not less than one gram.

“Are these charges really lethal?”

Li Fuurn spoke angrily.

He was a rectal man, and this charge was personally called by him, and there were only ten grams of TNT in it.

Ten grams of TNT, in Li Fu’s opinion, at most, blow up this grenade, and then blow up the enemy’s face. This also has to be shot directly in the face of thousands of people, that is, bukkake.

As for the other charges in it, then it is not explosives! Propylene oxide, ethylene oxide, polyethylene, and aluminum powder are the main components in the medicine bag.

Needless to say, everyone knows what it is. Propylene oxide, on the other hand, is an important component of paints, glues, etc. Ethylene oxide is used as a raw material for the synthesis of polyester fibers.

These two things have nothing to do with explosives, of course they can burn, but gasoline can also burn, and these two things are not even comparable to gasoline.

Even 100 grams of gasoline is not lethal when burned, unless it is directly poured on people and ignites human fat, otherwise even a dog cannot be burned. Not to mention the two alkanes that are not even as good as gasoline.

As for polyethylene, to put it bluntly, it is resin. This thing is even more outrageous, not even flammable, if you want to ignite it, you need a high temperature of more than two hundred and eighty degrees, and it is still smoldering, no fire, and less heat. From a chemical point of view, this thing can only be used as a passivator to absorb heat and block explosions.

And the main ingredient in this medicine bag is this thing, which is a full fifty grams.

These things were mixed together, they could actually explode, and Qi Wei called it a nuclear bomb for the poor, and Li Fu really doubted it. It’s not just Li Fu who thinks this, in fact, Zhang Jianguo has the same opinion. It’s just that Li Fu said it first.

“We’ve experimented before, and this thing only smokes when lit.”

Qian Gou Yu spoke honestly.

“You have to ask me first to test these things in the future, you can’t try them randomly!”

Qi Wei frowned and spoke sternly.

“This thing is tried randomly, and if there is a problem, it will die.”

He looked at Zhang Jianguo and Li Fu.

“We’re also here for security testing.”

Zhang Jianguo explained,

“After all, we have to produce this thing in the future, rules and regulations, taboos and whatever.”

“I will take out taboos later, including storage to transportation.”

Qi Wei nodded and accepted the explanation. As for the questioning of power, Qi Wei did not intend to refute it, because it involved some chemical knowledge of later generations.

Polyethylene is indeed a passivator, and its role is to block the oxidation reaction when TNT explodes, so that other powders remain in a high heat state without reacting.

The powder then diffuses due to the power of the TNT explosion and mixes with the air as much as possible to form a vapor cloud. During the diffusion process, the passivation of polyethylene also fails.

The highly heated aluminum powder comes into play at this time, due to contact with a large amount of air, the aluminum powder begins to burn violently, releasing extremely high temperatures.

This temperature can reach more than 1800 degrees Celsius, even iron can be melted, the thermite reaction is this principle, using the ultra-high temperature released when aluminum burns, melting iron tetroxide powder, reducing pure molten iron.

The temperature of aluminum powder will cause two alkanes that are also exposed to a large amount of air to begin to deflagrate, and consume a huge amount of oxygen, forming a huge jade strength.

The key point is that due to high temperature and high pressure, the chemical properties of the original polyethylene will change at this time. The chemical name of polyethylene is PETN, where N stands for nitrogen ion.

Nitrogen ions are actually the key to the power of the explosion, which is much more powerful than the traditional ammonium nitrate explosive. The beautiful country has long been studying nitrogen ion explosives, and the so-called Oktojin is actually an explosive that increases the nitrogen ion component as much as possible.

Under high temperature and pressure, the original PETN will chemically react with the nitrogen in the air, trapping three nitrogen ions and becoming PETN4.

This chemical is one of the main components of the famous nitrogen salt explosives in later generations. Its explosive power is at least five to ten times that of TNT!

High energy, high temperature, high oxygen consumption, created the name of the poor nuclear bomb of thermobaric bombs!

But to put it bluntly, it is a very simple thing, so simple that even in such a simple seventh workshop, Qi Wei can complete the assembly.

Its secret is only the proportion of the composition of the charge, after all, there are many members of the ethylene oxide family, as can be seen from the name, and the appearance characteristics are extremely similar, and it is impossible to distinguish the proportion after making a fine powder.

As for polyethylene, there are more resin families than any alkanes and the like, and after being powdered, no one knows what the hell is.

After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be done by getting samples, such as a gunpowder, everyone knows that it is carbon, nitrogen, sulfur as ingredients, but in the history of the dragon country, this thing has been used as medicine for hundreds of years, and it has been used as fireworks for hundreds of years. Although there was such a thing as an assault gun during this period, it was immediately eliminated.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it really used this thing as a serious weapon, and established a divine machine battalion to make cannons and muskets.

The reason is that because the previous ratio is not correct, the gunpowder created can burn and spray, but the explosion power is too small and the explosion speed is too low.

A big killing weapon was held in his hand, and Qi Wei was also slightly embarrassed. But sigh and sigh, the movement of the hand is not slow at all, tear the corner of the paper package, pour the charge into the grenade, and then screw the primer casually, and a grenade is produced.

Qi Wei’s act of personally assembling is essentially just a symbolic thing. With him as an example, several people immediately set their hands together, and in less than a minute, the remaining grenades were assembled.

Li Fu prepared only ten medicine packs, after all, it was only in the experimental stage. Looking at the ten grenades that had been packed into a small bullet box, Qi Wei nodded in satisfaction.

The grenade has been completed, which means a crucial step in its own business. Next, it’s time to find a place to experiment!.
