In industrial production, the more advanced it is, the simpler and easier it is.
The reason is very simple. Before I didn’t know how to use this method, I had to use complicated, dangerous, and high-cost methods for production until a better, simpler, and lower-cost method was discovered.
No wonder Asano couldn't believe that in the past, producing solid gunpowder columns required a lot of time and even risked his life.
This makes the cost of the "spray bomb" almost all in the solid powder column.
If the method mentioned by Wang Xuexin works, it means that the production speed has changed from riding a bicycle to flying, and the production cost has changed from flying to riding a bicycle... This will completely turn "spraying into bombs" into an extremely
It is cheap and can equip the army in large quantities in a short time.
At this moment Asano suddenly hesitated.
"Well, this method shouldn't work!" Asano looked at the process on the paper, his face uncertain: "It can complete plasticization and uniform distribution at the same time with just one process. It sounds incredible!"
In fact, Asano didn't really think this method would work.
In fact, on the contrary, as soon as he heard about heptane, he immediately realized that this method might work.
Not only is it possible, but its effect is likely to be more ideal than the gunpowder column produced by solvent extrusion.
The reason is very simple. The old method relies on roller extrusion and stirring to achieve uniform distribution of gunpowder particles. This can only be said to be roughly uniform. In actual combat, it is inevitable that many "sprayed bullets" will undergo irregular Brownian motion.
However, Wang Xuexin's method is to stir the liquid evenly, which is obviously more ideal than stirring in a semi-solid state, so there will be much less waste bombs that move irregularly.
However, Asano did not dare to try.
Because he considered a question:
If this method works, it means that the Eighth Route Army can produce a large number of spray bombs in a short period of time, and these spray bombs will undoubtedly hit the heads of the imperial army, which Asano does not want to see.
Previously, one of the important reasons why Asano surrendered so simply and cooperated so well was that the "spray-in bomb" technology was immature and difficult to produce. He believed that this would not cause much loss to the Imperial Army.
But now...
Asano's eyes were wandering and he did not dare to look directly at Wang Xuexin.
Wang Xuexin saw through his inner thoughts at a glance.
In fact, Wang Xuexin felt relieved when he learned that the Japanese were still using traditional techniques to make gunpowder pillars.
Because as long as the Japanese do not know the new technology, they will not be able to mass-produce rockets, so rockets are the patent of the Eighth Route Army.
At the same time, Wang Xuexin also realized how important new technologies are...
But who knows?
At this time, Europe and the United States were also aware of the new technology, but still ignored it because of its poor accuracy.
But just in case, Wang Xuexin believes that it is still necessary to increase the level of confidentiality.
Moreover, only the gunpowder column requires their hands and experience, and they do not need to know other things.
"Qianye!" Wang Xuexin said: "I hope you and your people understand that we don't need you, we can do it on our own!"
Asano Aihara was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly.
This technique was even told to him by Wang Xuexin.
Therefore, when the "spray cannon" was captured, everything was doomed.
Asano is powerless to change anything.
Thinking of this, Asano nodded and said: "Yes! I understand! I will conduct the experiment according to the process you mentioned, then..."
Asano said, he quickly wrote a few lists, then respectfully handed them to Wang Xuexin with both hands, bowed his head and said: "These are the raw materials and tools we need, please!"
After Wang Xuexin left, Asano Aihara turned his attention to his subordinates who were also stunned.
After a while, the subordinates asked all kinds of questions:
"Asano-kun, is that true?"
"Is that method feasible?"
"We can't do this!"
…
"Do we have any other options?" Asano Aihara interrupted his subordinates: "Give up your unrealistic ideas, we can't go back!"
It is indeed impossible for Asano Aihara and others to go back.
Wang Xuexin found Zhang Wanhe as soon as he came out of the cave.
Zhang Wanhe asked: "How is the situation? Are they still honest?"
"Not honest!" Wang Xuexin replied as he handed over the list: "You have to be whipped with a whip before you are willing to say anything, and you may have the idea of escape!"
Zhang Wanhe laughed "hehe", took the list and replied: "Don't worry, they can't escape! The chief also plans to send more guards!"
Then Zhang Wanhe looked surprised. He looked through the list and asked, "Is this all there is?"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin nodded.
No wonder Zhang Wanhe was surprised. The raw materials on the list are all common and easy to obtain, such as heptane, which is a by-product of oil field production...
The Eighth Route Army has oil fields, mainly two, one is the Yanchang Oil Field located in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and the other is the Yumen Oil Field in Gansu.
The former's annual output even reaches more than 60,000 barrels.
The problem is that the base area does not have much demand for oil and is subject to an economic blockade by the enemy, so development is restricted.
Therefore, there are not only bases for heptane, but many.
In addition, nitrate esters and the like are mainly obtained through the reaction of nitric acid... The Eighth Route Army also has the ability to produce these on its own, but the quantity is not large.
However, the fifth factory is under construction, and once completed, it will be able to continuously provide raw materials.
Zhang Wanhe looked at it again, handed the list back to Wang Xuexin, and said, "Sure, give the list to Director Su and let her make the arrangements!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded. As soon as he stood up, he remembered another question, so he turned around and asked: "Director, do we really want to produce 'spray-injection bombs'?"
Zhang Wanhe said "Hey": "Xiao Dongbei, what did you do wrong? Isn't this 'spray bomb' the one you said was useful for us to produce? Why are you fighting back now?
Are you excited?"
Wang Xuexin explained:
"Director, that's not what I meant!"
"I was thinking, the Japs' 'spray bombs' are useful, but if they are made like that, they can only be used as mortars!"
"We have 50 mortars, don't we? And the output is not low, and the accuracy is better than the 'spray bomb'!"
"This kind of thing is useless against Japanese artillery towers, and we will deal more with Japanese artillery towers in the future!"
"Then it needs to be someone who can shoot straight!"
Zhang Wanhe asked doubtfully: "Can this thing still shoot directly?"
"Why not?" Wang Xuexin said, "Isn't it the same thing? The whole cylinder carries the 'sprayed bullet' inside, and when you throw it over your shoulder, you pull the trigger...and it goes out in a whoosh!"
Zhang Wanhe was stunned for a moment by these words, but...it really sounds like that!
Good guy!
If this were possible, wouldn't it mean running around with a cannon on your shoulder?
