Eight hundred and fortieth chapters use of ammonia
Yang Mingzhi clasped his hands behind his back, believing that nothing would go wrong. He stood not far from the fertilizer plant, immersed in the overflowing ammonia with a foul smell, admiring this large equipment.
Just like a general high-pollution fertilizer plant, because before the black smoke from burning peat can be processed, a metal pipe towering into the sky is spewing thick black smoke, and it rises up like a signal tower.
"It looks like there won't be any problems. Ammonia is being produced continuously. When they cool down to normal temperature, we can proceed to the next process." Ivanov introduced enthusiastically.
The so-called next step is to purify the ammonia water to completely remove impurities and obtain pure ammonia. Finally, in a set of chemical reactions, ammonium nitrate hydrate is continuously produced. When the water evaporates, a large number of white crystals of high-energy explosives are produced.
Nitrogen fertilizer is mass-produced in this way.
All this is no longer a luxury, at least the smelly ammonia is a kind of primary nitrogen fertilizer. It can even be said that these have been put into empty oil drums. The black liquid full of impurities and stinky smell can be sprinkled on the potato fields.
Prompt the roots to expand crazily!
Yang Mingzhi watched with great interest and asked Ivanov: "You are still most familiar with the complex chemical reactions in the stuffy jar. Please tell me when I can see the first ammonium nitrate?"
"It will be this evening at the earliest!"
"So fast?" Yang Mingzhi couldn't believe it. He stared at the old scholar ecstatically: "The factory was just built last night, and the results are produced today?"
"Of course! According to the procedure, we have already obtained five barrels of concentrated ammonia. After cooling, the pressure will be reduced. After adding carbon powder to absorb impurities, there are only two remaining processes!"
Yang Mingzhi quickly waved his hand: "I don't need to delve into the chemistry. Since you have planned the road map, I will wait here until I can hold the fertilizer in my hands."
"This is inevitable!" Ivanov smiled confidently again.
Novgomel originally did not have professional chemical workers, but now it has a group of trained workers. Most of these people are Liguschkov's subordinates. After being trained by Ivanov's students, they have basically learned some chemical engineering knowledge.
And because the so-called fertilizer factory is just a few hundred times larger than the bottles and jars in the laboratory, it can be said to be a huge experimental equipment.
The only difference may be the billowing thick smoke. There are so many impurities in the peat that when it is dry, it burns like smoke. The wind is not strong today, so the black smoke goes straight into the sky.
Liguschkov had a slightly stern look on his face. Seeing the look of expectation on his officer's face, after some ideological struggle, he still walked over.
He pointed at the chimney and said worriedly: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander! It's a good thing that the fertilizer plant has been put into operation, but the smoke is too eye-catching! If the enemy sends a reconnaissance plane to search, on a clear day, they can even detect it from more than ten kilometers away.
With this black smoke, the location of the fertilizer plant will be exposed, and we..."
Yang Mingzhi raised his right hand to shut him up.
How could I not know about this extremely eye-catching black smoke? Then he said: "The smoke needs to be solved. We also need to build the wooden factory buildings. The workers who stay here need a comfortable working environment. We need to
To turn this place into a real state-owned fertilizer factory, we need to have various supporting facilities. There are still many facilities to be built, but I am really anxious now, I want more ammonium nitrate!"
Yang Mingzhi could emphasize the word "ammonium nitrate". He looked at the northern horizon with his eyes, pointed to Gomel, Lechitsa was the direction, and continued: "I need ammonium nitrate very much now. Only this thing can make the rocket launcher equipped."
Powerful thrust. Mass production of rocket launchers is now in full swing in the arsenal. This thing will be used in conjunction with our traditional rocket-propelled grenades. One is responsible for medium and close range bombardment, and the other is responsible for long range.
You know, rather than producing fertilizers to explode potato production, I would rather equip each squad of the army with a large number of these long-range weapons. After all, we will soon have to take large-scale operations, and our army must be well prepared before taking action!
Therefore, the camouflage measures should be put aside for now. If our army brings advanced equipment and beats the Germans again, and the enemy is afraid, why should we disguise ourselves?"
Liguschkov understood the officer's words and responded: "So, until the raw materials we carry this time are completely produced, we will not disguise the factory for the time being?"
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi let out a long sigh. In fact, he had no idea in his heart. "I think this is a gamble. If I install new steel pipes and introduce black smoke into the pool for purification, the fertilizer plant will inevitably stop production.
Now that the machine is at full capacity, it must produce for me! At this critical moment, it is best not for the German reconnaissance plane to fly over. Even if it does fly over, we have to find a way to shoot it down."
Liguschkov nodded and became more optimistic: "Yes, our army destroyed the German frontline airport in January. Where did their reconnaissance planes take off? The battle ended again on April 1st. So far.
It is already the third week and there is still no movement from the German army."
"Maybe the crisis is behind this calm situation!" Yang Mingzhi said meaningfully. Everyone understands this philosophy very well.
Liguschkov was shocked and fully understood what the commander meant: "The German army is either stepping up its defenses or reorganizing its troops for a large-scale encirclement and suppression, so we must seize the time and produce all ammunition."
"It's good that you know! So you have to say hello to the comrades in the arsenal and produce as much ammunition as possible. In future battles, the consumption of ammunition will be staggering!"
…
While they were talking and laughing, a large amount of black smoke was already rising into the sky, as if it was about to spray up to a height of 10,000 meters!
This strange sight was naturally seen by Joshua and her female soldiers, and even the workers digging sulfur in the mine.
Since Yang Mingzhi was on Henschel, he has investigated clearly the current situation of the prisoners of war. With economic interests as the main priority and sympathy as the supplement, the prisoners of war at least wore gas masks and even wrapped their hands with coarse cloth to act as gloves.
Joshua could not tell whether this was done well or not, but the female soldiers who were on duty at the mine were guarding them more closely! After all, they were Germans. Under the national hatred, the White Russians would never trust them.
Since they were wearing protective masks, the supervisor could not see their faces, so they tied their waists with ropes and connected them in series.
The same was true for Henschel. He felt that he was like a slave laborer of the ancient Romans, but now he didn't have to be dizzy by the stench of sulfur volatilization. Isn't this also a kind of happiness?
One company of Soviet troops was stationed in the mine, while the remaining two companies were engaged in daily physical training.
Female soldiers are conducting traditional armed cross-country, which is a great test for many new female soldiers. In the Soviet army, it is inevitable for female soldiers to be looked down upon. Joshua did not believe this evil and forced her subordinates to
The training was intensified, especially because of the incident of an own attack on the deputy division commander, so all training was doubled.
Women are trained like men. Everyone carries heavy luggage and a full set of equipment. Today's training is actually a fifteen-kilometer rapid march!
Standing in the fertilizer plant area, Yang Mingzhi vaguely heard the female soldiers singing military songs with their feminine voices, and also heard their panting.
The female soldiers would pass by the fertilizer factory on the road and make a large circle back to the military camp. Yang Mingzhi had no intention of chatting and laughing with the female soldiers anymore. All he could see in his eyes was the thick black smoke from the fertilizer factory.
