Chapter 590 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 36
Zhang Ling's tone trembled, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he said excitedly: "Shan Zhang, my classmates with Shiro, Gu Mingshu, and Zhao Changde successfully developed xanthate yesterday, and the research was successful."

"What, xanthate, what are you talking about xanthate?" Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that the black medicine was granulated, but that it went directly past the black medicine and successfully exploded the xanthate.

This, how is this possible?In just a few years, xanthate was achieved, which is what he called nitroglycerin in private. With the existing technology and conditions, he only gave theoretical support, which was not complete. How could it be successful?Zhang Ling actually said that it was successful, it seems that the joke is a bit big!
"The sampling test was successful, xanthate, it's absolutely true." Zhang Ling said in an affirmative tone.

"Nitroglycerine?" Wang Xiu's eyes were shining with surprise, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, always feeling unreal, so his eyes turned to Lin Silang.He understands that the process of making nitroglycerin sounds very simple, but the actual process is extremely difficult. Just dropping glycerin into mixed acid for nitration, there is a huge risk. If there is a loud noise, it will be over. .

Now, he still can't believe it completely, his heart speeds up by a third, almost on the verge of his mouth, and his head is in chaos.

Lin Silang was not good at speaking, but he still said excitedly: "It is said that it is to surprise the head of the mountain. Our classmates, according to the equations and principles given by the teacher, continue to carry out experiments, and finally create it, but it is very unstable."

"Unstable, did you hurt anyone?" Wang Xiu was taken aback. The nitroglycerin was not treated, but it was very unstable. Just as he thought just now, if one link is not handled properly, the loss will be heavy!Even a non-standard touch, even a little friction with static electricity, will cause uncontrollable consequences.

"The amount is very small, and the head of the mountain has also indicated that nothing happened." Zhang Ling had a fat face and smiled like Maitreya Bodhisattva.

"It's as good as it didn't hurt anyone!" Wang Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. He never wanted the elite students to have any mistakes. He would rather exchange the value of these students all the way, or even the whole of Jiangbei.Also, if the land is lost, it can be regained; if the population is reduced, it can also encourage fertility, but talents across the ages are rare, especially cutting-edge talents across the ages, they are simply diamonds on the crown, if you miss it, you may lose hundreds of years , he will never allow this to happen.

Seeing Wang Xiu's surprise, his first reaction was to be concerned about their comfort. Lin Silang was deeply moved and said excitedly: "Xie Shanzhang is worried, the students can have today because of the guidance of the Shanzhang, and there are precautions marked by the Shanzhang. , we are not in any danger."

Wang Xiu blushed a little. He was just theoretically providing yellow xanthate production process and raw material instructions. The raw material formula was required, and there were some incomplete procedures. s things.

The success of the actual development of Xanthoyao is definitely due to the efforts of these young people. He is a little thankful for his persistence all the time, never pointing fingers, never interfering with other people's research, so as not to mislead the direction of technological development.

He thought of the violent killing of xanthate again, and felt that it was necessary to remind him seriously, and he couldn't help but worry: "xanthate is extremely unstable. Before it can be stabilized, it must not be used in large doses. You must be cautious and careful, and you can't be careless at all. Understand. ?"

"Students understand." Zhang Ling was still very excited. He was also one of the participants. He witnessed the power and was extremely excited.

Zong Liang had studied chemistry, but he didn't study it deeply, and he didn't want to waste time on those boring knowledge, but he didn't know what nitroglycerin was, and he didn't have much interest. He asked, "Fatty, how powerful is it?"

"Give me a small piece, it can overturn the whole house." Zhang Ling rolled his eyes and looked at Zong Liang contemptuously, as if looking at an ignorant guy
Zong Liang's eyelids twitched, and regardless of being scorned by others, he clicked his tongue and said, "It's so powerful, if it's made into a firearm, wouldn't it be invincible and take all attacks?"

"Put more than a dozen catties on the gate of the city, and the iron gate will collapse for you." Zhang Ling once again despised Zong Liang, with a slightly complacent expression on his face.

Wang Xiu glanced at Zong Liang, and said with a smile: "It's early, you haven't even achieved the minimum stability, so you can't use it in actual combat. Otherwise, you haven't killed the enemy, but you have suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the gain outweighs the loss."

"Shanchang, the damage is too large, I'm afraid it's against the heavenly relationship." Lin Silang said nonchalantly. When he saw the power of the explosion, he first thought of blood flowing into rivers, limbs and arms, and he couldn't help but panic.

Wang Xiu's smile stopped abruptly, and she said sternly: "Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. Remember, this is not against the heavens. It is cruel to the enemy, but it is kind to my subjects. Today, we do not invent yellow Medicine, sooner or later someone else will discover it, and by then it will be too late even if you want to catch up.”

Seeing Wang Xiu's serious face, Zhang Ling didn't know the danger of xanthate.After witnessing the tragic scene after the explosion yesterday, Lin Silang had a dispute with Gu Liang, Zhao Fei and others.Gu Liang and Zhao Fei believe that xanthophyll can be used as a sharp weapon in the army if it is handled stably. Dare to imagine.

"Killing is too sharp!" Lin Silang didn't dare to refute Wang Xiu, but still resisted.

"The righteousness of the country, you should understand the trade-offs. You only see the side of killing, but you don't think about the benefits of the country and the people. Xanthate is economical and affordable. It is absolutely convenient to use in mines, roads and bridges, and water conservancy." Wang Xiu I didn't say too much, sometimes people can't force it, just click as far as it goes.

He changed the subject again, and said seriously: "Xanthate is extremely unstable, and it will explode if shaken slightly. It must be resolved as soon as possible, at least it can be loaded and transported."

Zhang Ling looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "There is no good way for now, but we will find a way."

"Don't worry, take your time." Wang Xiu understands that the birth of nitroglycerin is already an anomaly, and it must not be forced to encourage it. It is better to let nature take its course, so as not to draw a tiger and become an anti-dog.

He thought about it for a long time, and decided to give some encouragement, before he said softly: "I thought it would take 20 years for people to see it, but I didn't expect you to succeed in a few years. It is inevitable to leave a name in history. Hey, if you have xanthate, you can make the youth What kind of situation will it be when the mold medicine is made, one attack and one defense, I am looking forward to it!"

Zong Liang was very envious. Wang Xiu put penicillium on par with xanthate, which surprised him very much. He made up his mind to do a good job in medical treatment, and paid attention to it from time to time, at least he could get a share of the pie.Don't think that he is utilitarian, no one can refuse eternal beauty, he can't, and neither can Wang Xiu.
