There was no way, he didn't want to be suspected of being a spy or something else. Then he would be in trouble if he couldn't explain why he knew so much.
Wang Xuexin acted for this purpose.
"The Japanese have incendiary bombs!" Wang Xuexin said: "What issues need attention? We can ask what that one is called... Asano Aihara!"
Wang Xuexin almost forgot this guy's name.
"I remember he was a chemistry major?" Wang Xuexin turned his attention to Zhang Wanhe and asked, "Did we not kill those guys?"
"How can they be killed?" Zhang Wanhe replied: "These guys are doing a great job in the Fifth Factory. They have trained many technicians for us. Although they are devils, the work they do is useless. They have two hands!
"
At first, Wang Xuexin thought Zhang Wanhe was just teasing, but after going there, he discovered that Asano Aihara and his party could really be described as "having a great time".
When Wang Xuexin found Asano Aihara, he found that he looked much better than before and was no longer nervous.
He came up and greeted Wang Xuexin with a smile: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, long time no see!"
This surprised Wang Xuexin. This guy seemed to be a different person. He was called "comrade". Is this what you called him?
"Asano-kun!" Wang Xuexin was a little confused: "It seems you are living a good life here?"
"Yes!" Asano Aihara replied: "Because I discovered a secret. You actually have a discipline of not killing prisoners!"
When Asano said this, his face was full of disbelief, as if the Eighth Route Army were all aliens.
Wang Xuexin rolled his eyes.
Which idiot told him that if Asano Aihara and others don't cooperate or don't work in the future, how can they scare them?
"There is such a discipline!" Wang Xuexin replied: "But it doesn't include you, so..."
Asano smiled and interrupted Wang Xuexin: "Don't scare me, Comrade Wang Xuexin! Of course that includes us. As long as we don't run away, we can live here forever, right?"
Wang Xuexin did not deny it.
Asano obviously asked different people and got the same answer. Wang Xuexin's method no longer worked.
Asano Aihara seemed to have seen through Wang Xuexin's thoughts, and he replied cheerfully: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, don't worry! We will still do the work that needs to be done. Since we can't leave here alive, why not accept the reality? Only in this way can we do it."
You can live a good life here, don’t you think?”
Wang Xuexin said "uh", and there was some truth in what he said.
"Not to mention now!" Asano Aihara looked around and sighed: "Even if there is a chance to escape, many of us are afraid that we are not willing to escape."
"Why?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"We feel needed here!" Asano Aihara replied: "There are many people like us in the empire, and being punished and punished is commonplace, but here... we feel that we are important!"
Although what Asano said was a bit confusing, Wang Xuexin could still understand his thoughts.
This is a sense of pride of being valued and needed, which is determined by the lack of talents like them in the Eighth Route Army.
It is best to have such a mentality, but Wang Xuexin still told the security guards when he left that he should not let down his guard because of this.
Turning back to Zhang Wanhe's office, several directors were intensely discussing the feasibility of using rockets to develop incendiary bombs.
There are indeed problems with the development of incendiary bombs for rockets.
This is not to say that the Eighth Route Army cannot develop it. In fact, the incendiary bomb is very simple, just put gasoline in the warhead.
The Eighth Route Army also had no shortage of raw materials.
The two oil fields of the Eighth Route Army produce a lot of oil. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army has basically no oil-consuming equipment. Most of the gasoline produced is supplied to various arsenals for power generation, and the inventory cannot be used. In the end, the oil fields had to be closed because there was no demand. What if?
Being able to convert gasoline into raw materials for weapons is a dream.
The problem is that the rocket warhead is too small, and it needs to be loaded with both explosives and fuzes. How much space can be left to pack gasoline?
With such a small amount of gasoline, even if it hits the enemy, how effective will it be if it burns?
Wang Xuexin came back with the answer.
"I'll bring something from Asano's set!" Wang Xuexin said as he walked in.
"What's useful?" Everyone looked at him sideways.
"This is the idea!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Gasoline alone will definitely not work, because it does not burn at a high enough temperature and does not cause enough damage. So you can consider adding something to the gasoline that can release more heat."
Su Xin's eyes lit up and she said: "For example, you can add phosphorus, magnesium, and aluminum to burn metals!"
Others looked confused. They knew about phosphorus. It is a combustible substance used to make smoke bombs. It can spontaneously ignite when exposed to the air. There is no need to "ignite" it when added.
But can metals like magnesium and aluminum also be burned?
Wang Xuexin secretly praised it in his heart. The system also said that these things are solid and much denser than liquids. Adding these combustible metals in a limited volume will have a good effect on increasing the temperature and lethality.
Just now, Wang Xuexin was still worried about whether there would be too many things to try. Now Su Xin said that he would relieve some pressure.
Wang Xuexin added: "I heard Asano talk about something... cycloalkanes."
"That's right!" Su Xin nodded immediately: "Naphthenes also contain extremely high heat, which can effectively increase the combustion temperature!"
Although Zhang Wanhe listened confusedly, he could understand the direction and ideas, so he said: "How about trying all these things, it won't take much time anyway!"
Then he asked Wang Xuexin: "Does the little devil have anything else to say?"
"Another idea!" Wang Xuexin said: "The gasoline is not viscous enough, which will also affect the lethality. For example, if some splashes on people, if it is not sticky, it will be gone, and the remaining bit will not burn for long. But
If it sticks to someone and can't be shaken off, that's a big deal!"
Zhang Wanhe nodded slightly, it sounded like that.
However, if it is viscous, it can actually splash farther... Non-viscous liquids are easily dispersed evenly into the air after splashing out, and are blown away by the wind, which means they are greatly affected by air resistance.
The viscous liquid will gather into small clumps, and when it explodes, it will be thrown out like lard, flying far and wide.
"How to fix this?" Zhang Wanhe asked.
"I heard it's something called 'palmitic acid'!" Wang Xuexin turned his attention to Su Xin: "Isn't it difficult to produce this thing?"
Li Changji, director of the fifth factory, said: "It's not difficult. It can be produced by oxidizing sugar and adding acid to react!"
Wang Xuexin breathed a sigh of relief, there was no problem.
After it was over, Wang Xuexin added: "Don't let guys like Asano know about these things, otherwise you won't be able to talk about it in the future!"
