At the Hongquan Village Independent Regiment station, Li Hao returned to the base with a large number of absenteeism and seizures. It was originally a very happy thing, but Li Hao was not happy at all!
As soon as he returned to the regiment headquarters, he received news: The ammunition team of the repair shop had an accident during the experiment of deploying mercury fulminate. Mercury fulminate exploded. Liu Guoyu and Lin Xinran were injured, and two soldiers who protected them died.
Another employee of the mechanical institute was seriously injured!
"What happened? Didn't I repeatedly emphasize that mercury fulminate is too dangerous before setting off and that we must be careful when configuring the experiment? Why did something still go wrong!" Standing in front of Jiang Wenyu, the director of the repair shop, Li Hao's anger suddenly disappeared.
He got up and asked Jiang Wenyu's bad temperament!
Jiang Wenyu also regretted it very much!
I am a gun maker. Although I have a certain understanding of the mercury fulminate required for the production of ammunition, I have heard about it from others at the Taiyuan Arsenal and have never seen it with my own eyes, so I don't pay that much attention to safety.
Neglected, and that led to the current tragedy!
"Captain, I am willing to accept any punishment!" Jiang Wenyu replied with his head lowered, a look of regret on his face!
For the past two days, whenever I lay in bed and sleep, the tragic scene of two soldiers being bombed to death flashed in my mind.
If I had been more careful and paid more attention to safety at that time, the two soldiers would not have sacrificed. Therefore, I must be responsible for the sacrifice of the two soldiers, otherwise I will be sorry for my own conscience!
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "There must be punishment. We cannot let the sacrifice of two soldiers be in vain, and we must use this punishment to remind everyone, especially the employees of the repair shop, that safety must be the first priority no matter what they do."
Bit!"
"From now on, I don't want to hear about any accidents happening in the repair shop because they don't pay attention to safety!"
"In order to warn others, I decided to demote Director Jiang Wenyu to the company level, and his salary was also reduced to the deputy battalion level. I will temporarily take over the post of director of the repair shop. After I have achieved results in the future, there will be no more troubles in the repair shop. Acting
Only the director can become a full-time employee!"
"The disciplinary order will be issued by the regiment headquarters soon. I will announce it verbally first!"
The two soldiers protected Liu Guoyu and Lin Xinran with their own lives, so the two men were only slightly injured.
When Li Hao returned to the base, the two of them returned to the repair shop and began to study mercury urethane!
In the only house made of bricks and stones in the repair shop, Li Hao smelled a pungent smell as soon as he walked to the door!
Although he was a compulsory soldier in his previous life, Li Hao went to school after all.
Although it is a second-rate university, the education level in his hometown is too low. He only passed the exam after ranking among the top ones in the school. Therefore, Li Hao studied very solidly in high school, and the limited chemistry knowledge in his mind was mainly
When I studied in high school, the most impressive thing was doing various chemical experiments in the laboratory!
Therefore, he was very familiar with the smell in the room. With a frown, he made a judgment: "This is the smell of concentrated nitric acid!"
Then I saw Lin Xinran frowning, sweat beads on her forehead, very nervous, and about to pour something into a jar of concentrated nitric acid solution!
Mercury fulminate is mercury fulminate, and Li Hao roughly knows how to make it!
Because it was too dangerous, no relevant experiments were done in school back then!
However, Li Hao still knew the basic element composition of mercury fulminate. His frown that was already frowning deepened at this time. Lin Xinran interrupted before she could pour the solution in her hand!
"Stop, stop the experiment!"
"Comrade Lin Xinran, if I guessed correctly, what you are holding should be mercury, which is mercury!"
"The jar below contains nitric acid, and it is also a concentrated nitric acid solution. It is prepared to make mercury nitrate, a raw material for making mercury fulminate!"
Lin Xinran stared directly at Li Hao with a pair of big eyes, as if looking at a stranger, with shock on her face!
Didn't it mean that the regiment leader Li Hao joined the Red Army when he was very young and studied in the Red Army Primary School and never even went to middle school? How could he know so clearly!
I only came into contact with these chemical raw materials after I went to college, and only chemistry majors will come into contact with and learn about them, and other majors will not know about them even if they go to college!
Therefore, Li Hao's current reaction completely overturned Lin Xinran's impression of him, and she also felt strong curiosity and confusion in her heart, wanting to find out what happened!
He turned around and stared at Li Hao and asked: "Captain, how do you know this is nitric acid solution?"
"There are also mercury, mercury fulminate, and mercury nitrate. How do you know these!"
Li Hao suddenly realized that he was only concerned about Lin Xinran's safety, and he spilled the beans on impulse!
Much of the chemistry knowledge that later generations learned in high school was only learned in college!
And I only went to elementary school in this era, so I had no chance to come into contact with this chemical knowledge, let alone understand so many things!
I wanted to explain, but I couldn't find a reason at all for a while, so I could only change the topic and interrupt!
"Don't worry about how I know!"
"Mercury is volatile and poisonous. Don't you know that?"
"There is also concentrated nitric acid. It has such a pungent smell. If you smell it too much, you will definitely be poisoned. If you do the experiment without any precautions, don't you fail to complete the experiment and be poisoned first!"
"Besides, when you do experiments, you just hold it with your hands, face to face, without any precautions!"
Seeing Lin Xinran's face getting more and more shocked, Li Hao couldn't care less!
Lin Xinran is the only woman he has a crush on, and she is also the only talented person in the independent group who studies chemistry, so nothing can happen to her!
Now that you've spilled the beans, let's say everything you need to say!
He raised his eyebrows and continued: "Mercury fulminate is flammable and explosive. The slightest movement may cause an explosion. If I guess correctly, the last accident that happened here must have been the chemical reaction between mercury nitrate and ethanol to form mercury fulminate.
It was caused by your failure to control it!"
"The whole reaction was very violent, and the process was full of dangers!"
"If the temperature is too high, it will detonate the mercury fulminate produced by the chemical reaction!"
"Even a slight collision will cause mercury fulminate to explode, so the entire experiment must not be conducted in front of you, and you must be prepared, because if an accident occurs during the experiment, it will be life-threatening!"
Lin Xinran was filled with shock and confusion!
The group leader in front of me was so mysterious. How did he, a person who only went to elementary school, know so much chemical knowledge? In some aspects, he was even clearer than me, a college student. He was speechless with just a few words.
!
Just as she was about to raise her voice about the difficulties faced by chemicals, Li Hao already spoke first, without giving her a chance to speak!
"In this way, the troops seized many Japanese gas masks on the battlefield. They can protect against gas, and they can certainly prevent mercury poisoning!"
"In addition, when we get back, I will ask the logistics department to get some sets of protective clothing for you. Iron plates will be installed inside the clothes. In the event of an accident, these protective clothing will definitely protect everyone's safety!"
"I will ask the blacksmith team to create some special pliers for you. When doing experiments, your hands must not come into direct contact with the solution."
"This room is too airtight. It's not good. We need to open more windows!"
"There is also a brick wall in the middle, with several openings on it. When doing experiments, people stay on one side, and the experiments are done on the other side, and operations are performed through the pliers and operating holes through the partition wall. Be sure to ensure safety!"
