Chapter 92

Li Yunfei's mission to recruit people from the Equipment Design Bureau did not go smoothly.

Although his idea was good, the design difficulty was too low and no one was interested in it.

Office of the Director of the Equipment Design Bureau.

Li Yunfei asked helplessly: "Uncle, is our scientific research capability so strong now?"

"I'm an old man, you ask me these questions, do you think I know?"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. I definitely can't provide this technical assistance. What I'm giving out are all powerful weapons."

"It's definitely inappropriate for a private enterprise like you to sell it," Zhao Zhenghe said, shaking his head.

Exports are exports, support is support, but the principles that need to be addressed must still be addressed.

However, he still pointed a way out for Li Yunfei.

As the saying goes, help others to the end, and help Buddha to the west. The research and development of the propellant of this rocket still depends on Mr. He.

As long as we use civilian materials, the Americans won’t be able to find any evidence against us.

Li Yunfei left the Equipment Design Bureau somewhat disappointed. He originally thought that even if he couldn't get anyone, he could at least get some formulas.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

He immediately went to Huadun and invited Mr. He to come out again.

"Mr. He, do you think the steel tube rocket I designed can be sold well overseas?"

He listened to Li Yunfei's idea, nodded, and said very seriously: "Theoretically speaking, there is no problem."

"Mr. He, do you think this is powerful enough? We can only use civilian materials when we export it."

"It's enough, definitely enough, but your design is a bit rough and has too many problems. We need to redo it."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. He."

"You kid, do you think I'm easy to bully? Why do you always come to me for everything?"

Li Yunfei listened to what Mr. He said and quickly shook his head to explain: "Mr. He, isn't this all about making a little money in foreign exchange?"

"My uncle has already said that no one in this equipment design bureau is more suitable for this job than you."

"That sounds like a human saying. After all, I witnessed the development of our rockets from scratch and from weak to strong."

"As the saying goes, as long as the design is reasonable and the proportions are good, even if it is a steel tube rocket, the power will definitely not be bad." Mr. He said with emotion.

In his mind, he had a propellant with a suitable proportion.

The materials are all available on the market, only sugar and fertilizer are needed.

Just extract potassium nitrate from fertilizer and mix it with white sugar in a ratio of 3:7 to get a good rocket propellant.

Of course, you can also choose to mix in sulfur, adjust the ratio, and improve the performance of the propellant.

Li Yunfei asked curiously, "Mr. He, is your house reliable?"

"You kid, you definitely didn't pay attention in chemistry class back then."

"We learned the reaction equation of potassium nitrate and sugar in high school. Have you returned it to the teacher?"

"." Mr. He said with some regret.

Li Yunfei listened to the chemical equation and said innocently, "Mr. He, it's really not my fault that I don't know it. I'm a liberal arts student!"

Is it reasonable for a liberal arts student to deal with these things every day?
Although Mr. He is experienced, making steel tube rockets is definitely not a trivial matter.

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

The Huayang Iron and Steel Plant has steel pipes. As for fertilizers and sugar, unfortunately, Li Yunfei also has a fertilizer plant and a sugar plant under his name.

Procurement is not a problem, just a phone call away.

"Boy, I've discovered that you don't give others any chance to make money from you!" Mr. He said with emotion.

Li Yunfei scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. He, this is a coincidence, what a coincidence."

Potassium nitrate is a very important chemical. It has good fertilizer effect in agriculture and is a very important raw material.

It can promote the growth of crops and improve their yield and quality.

However, how to extract potassium nitrate from fertilizers is a technical job. It is impossible to export potassium nitrate on a large scale, but it is much more reasonable to export fertilizers in large quantities and let customers extract potassium nitrate by themselves.

What Huayang Iron and Steel Plant needs to do now is to test out the specific steps and then warn customers that it is strictly forbidden to do so.

"Mr. He, why do you want a pot for me?"

Mr. He looked at the puzzled Li Yunfei and wanted to explain, but then he remembered that this boy was a liberal arts student, and sighed helplessly.

This operation is a bit beyond the scope for liberal arts students.

The simplest process for extracting potassium nitrate from fertilizers is naturally recrystallization.

The steps are also very simple. Just put the fertilizer into the pot, add water to dissolve it, and make the fertilizer solution crystallize.

By doing this, you can extract potassium nitrate with a higher purity, but this thing is a bit dangerous and can explode if you are not careful.

Mr. He cooked for a whole day before he collected enough potassium nitrate.

The subsequent work will be much simpler.

By welding suitable steel pipes and adding tail fins, the shell of a rocket is completed.

Just add the warhead at the front and the propellant at the back and you're done.

To be honest, the rockets in the hands of the five gangsters work according to the same principle.

But it's nothing more than a more advanced propellant and a warhead with a simple guidance device.

The two of them used different proportions and produced two types of rockets with different proportions. Each type had only three spare shells, and the caliber was 120 mm.

And in order to take into account the actual situation in the Middle East, this thing is also quite simple to launch.

It does not require a special launch vehicle. It can be launched from a pickup truck or a tractor. It does not even require a launch vehicle. It can be launched with just an iron bracket.

Inside the test site of the Equipment Design Bureau.

The first test of the new steel tube rocket attracted quite a few people to watch.

Not only is there Director Zhao Zhenghe, but there is also a very low-key leader.

The leader did not speak to anyone except Zhao Zhenghe who accompanied him all the time.

Even Zhang Shaozhong only knew that this person was a leader from the army, who just happened to come here today.

"Comrade, come here, I want to ask you a question. This thing of yours is so simple, can it really be used?" the army leader asked curiously.

Li Yunfei scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He pointed at his own steel tube rocket and said confidently: "Don't worry, leader, it will definitely work."

After adjusting the target of the steel tube rocket on the pickup truck, Mr. He pressed the launcher.

Accompanied by a burst of fire, the rocket flew out with a whoosh.

On a hillside more than ten kilometers away.

A circle was drawn with white paint; that was the target area for this experiment.

boom!
With a muffled sound, a crater the size of half a football field appeared near the white circle.

Although it didn't hit directly, the crater still covered most of the white circle.

Although it is a steel tube rocket, the caliber of 120 mm is no joke.

Li Yunfei was admiring the power of the rocket through a telescope. He didn't notice at all that the army leader behind him was shaking his head in disappointment.

"This power is still a little lacking!"

"Director Li, is this the only power your rocket has?"

Li Yunfei listened to the leader's words, put down the telescope, looked back in confusion and said, "Leader, is this power still not enough?"

"We are a private enterprise, so we can only use sugar and fertilizers!"

When the army leader heard this explanation, a row of question marks appeared above his head.

He had heard of Li Yunfei a long time ago. Today, when he heard that the other party was testing a new weapon, and it was a rocket, he came over.

The first two times were both related to the Air Force. They had new unmanned bombers and new stealth coatings, which made them very happy.

How come this time when it comes to our army’s rockets, it becomes sugar plus fertilizer?
