HCB Chapter 546 This ship, are you going to get on or not?
Chapter 546 This ship, are you going to get on or not?
The next afternoon.
Three Yellow River trucks were parked in the open space of the old well in Jiangjia Village. After Secretary Liu jumped out of the truck, he first greeted Grandma Jiang, and then hurriedly stuffed two books as thick as dictionaries into Teacher Liang and Leader Wu's hands.
As for the other accompanying personnel, I'm sorry, please leave immediately!
No one may remain within a five-mile radius of Jiangjia Village!
Hmm? You said you're the boss's secretary and need to follow him?
The specially conscripted "Company Commander Tang" simply tightened his grip on the large, dagger on his back, and the group of clueless guys scattered in panic...
Hmph, Company Commander Tang glanced at Leader Wu and Teacher Liang, who were also quite shaken, and slightly restrained his aura.
If Xiao Jiang hadn't specifically given the order, this scoundrel could have easily driven away everyone within a ten-mile radius.
Once everyone around had left, Secretary Liu waved to the carriage and said, "Comrade Zeshan, you may get off now!"
Inside the carriage, a young man jumped out and followed behind Secretary Liu, curiously looking around Jiangjia Village.
"Jiang Xia, come quickly! See your reinforcements!"
Reinforcements?
This title made Company Commander Tang, the "killer," look at Comrade Zeshan with curiosity. It was unusual. Was there something this kid couldn't handle?
Okay, to understand what happened, let's go back to last night.
……
"What? You want nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin?"
"You want RDX, mercuric fulminate, and potassium chlorate? You little brat, you don't need all this stuff to set off firecrackers for the New Year, do you?"
"No? How about some trinitrotoluene or diazo-dinitrophenol?"
Jiang Xia wrote down the few names of explosives that came to mind on a piece of paper, ticking them off with checkmarks. He paid no attention to what the high-ranking leader opposite him was thinking.
"What are you trying to do? You already took some propellant from us, why do you need this dangerous stuff now?"
"You probably haven't dealt with these before, but they're all dangerous items! Old Wang! Didn't he stop you from doing something so dangerous?"
"You little rascal, you can't even behave yourself during the New Year! Just wait until I get back from the desert and I'll deal with you!"
Hey, has this person run this far? But your claim of dealing with me is completely unconvincing!
Jiang Xia listened to the scolding with his head down, muttering to himself.
"Listen to the background noise, it's quite a lively scene! You can't just 'allow the common people to set fires while ignoring the magistrate's lamps'!"
The old man chuckled in exasperation. This brat's ears were certainly sharp. There were indeed constant explosions on their side, but did this kid think he was making a spectacle of it? The research institute here had been rumbling around for almost a year now!
Why? Isn't it because they're researching how to trigger the "young lady's" explosion?
Everyone knows that the little boy and the fat man once warmly welcomed the little guy who was disliked by the Chinese in that famous place.
But did you know that their detonation methods are actually different?
One type is the gun-type, consisting of two subcritical uranium blocks. Upon detonation, a high-energy explosive propels one uranium block at high speed toward the other, causing them to combine and reach a supercritical state, thus triggering a nuclear fission chain reaction.
Another, more sophisticated one, is the implosion structure. This structure is quite simple: the core element is placed inside a hollow sphere, and a bunch of high-energy explosives are placed along the sphere to enclose it.
The inward pressure generated by the explosion compresses the key element to a supercritical state, triggering that remarkable reaction.
Simple, right?
What a fart!
Just getting the high-energy explosives around the sphere to detonate simultaneously is challenging enough, not to mention the specific configuration of the device.
After all, even the dumbest bald eagle wouldn't show off those parameters.
But would that stump our researchers?
As the saying goes, if theory isn't enough, practice will make up for it!
Since we don't know the specific parameters, we'll just try them one decimal point at a time!
To date, the data accumulated at this detonation test site is enough to fill an entire basketball court; the paper used to record the data would be stacked up to a meter high.
Fortunately, the sudden appearance of "Big Yellow's clone" significantly improved the progress here.
Don't get me wrong, the current "Big Yellow clone" can't simulate actual data, it's just that its data processing capabilities have been significantly improved.
……
As Jiang Xia listened to the old man's simple explanation, and then recalled his earlier conversation with the Ministry of Chemical Industry, a thought crossed his mind.
"With all that experimental data you've accumulated, could you provide me with a solution that can evenly disperse ethylene oxide into the air to form an aerogel, but without directly detonating it?"
"what?"
The old man on the other end of the phone thought for a moment, and then he began to understand what the young man was up to.
"Have you finished all the other components for your 'maid'?"
"Mmmmmmm!"
Jiang Xia nodded his head like a bobblehead doll.
If the old man were there, he would definitely have Jiang Dong go up and act cute...
Why?
It's just that this kid's habit of only thinking about the head and not the butt has resurfaced again.
Everything was ready, but during the post-mortem, we discovered that the materials for the most crucial detonation (fuel spill phase) hadn't been secured.
Originally, Xiao Dai Mao was thinking of collecting some detonators and doing reverse deduction, just like when he did the material exhaustion exercise, but isn't there a better option now?
Unfortunately, when Xiao Dai Mao called the familiar Ministry of Chemical Industry to ask for these things, the Ministry of Chemical Industry, which had been all smiles, immediately turned into a crying face.
"Hey, young Jiang, you can certainly make gunpowder or something, I can make it right away, but as for those things you mentioned, like TNT, I don't have any of them..."
"No way, you guys are that poor?"
"What are you talking about? When has our Ministry of Chemical Industry ever been rich? Unlike the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which you've fattened up..."
"Hey, we've gone off on a tangent. It's not that we didn't have it, it's that we had a little, but it got sucked away by some black hole!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xia was still wondering what the other person meant by "black hole" when a big shot from the Second Ministry of Machine Building called to say he wanted to chat with his grandmother.
And so, after they met, the conversations described above ensued.
Just as Jiang Xia held his breath, waiting for the old man's reply, a faint cheer came from the other end of the microphone.
In a short while, the cheers grew louder and louder, and at the same time, a clear report came from the microphone:
"Boss! The technical data has reached the theoretical value!"
"What! You mean, this configuration is usable!" The old man's voice trembled slightly.
"Yes! The explosive charge configuration is complete! Not only the external explosive charge configuration, but the internal configuration also meets the design requirements!"
"Oh..." A series of enthusiastic cheers came through the microphone, mixed with something else:
"We've removed a roadblock!"
"I told you! I told you! Even if we were the Foolish Old Man who moved mountains, that mountain would be dug up sooner or later!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Oh dear, it's all thanks to 'Big Yellow Clone'! Boss, half of our military medals are thanks to the developer of 'Big Yellow Clone'! You have no idea how much this little guy has helped!"
"That's right! We're all working hard, whether we're in the desert or outside..."
The commotion made Jiang Xia's face flush red. "Oh dear, oh dear..."
Is the young lady about to make a grand entrance?
The commotion excited Jiang Xia, and even her grandmother and two little girls were infected by it, showing their first smiles of the day.
However, the other two elderly people seemed somewhat bewildered.
"What is that? Desert? Structure? Are you building a house?" Teacher Liang asked blankly.
"Huh? You have other people with you, kid?" The old man on the other end of the phone was laughing so hard he was almost going crazy, only then noticing that he hadn't put down the phone.
But then I thought about how it was Xiao Dai Mao on the other end, so it didn't matter. It was good for him to hear the latest developments.
However, it won't work if there are other voices!
"Hehehe, yes, I'll take them to you."
Little Dai Mao looked at the two cultured men and smiled maliciously.
