Crossing through time 04, I blew up the American aircraft carrier.

The explosive is ammonium nitrate, and the propellant is potassium nitrate.

Potassium nitrate is an oxidizing agent, only responsible for providing the oxygen needed for combustion, while the fuel... is white sugar!

Sugar is a strategic resource.

It can provide the human body with high calories and is easy to store, making it an ideal energy source during times of war or disaster.

It can be used in medicine to treat oral ulcers, gastritis, and even to stop bleeding from wounds in critical situations!

In industry, it has even more uses; for example, it can be used as fuel!

The warhead is there, the propellant is there, the missile body is there, all that's missing is the final... fuse!

"Hassan, the fuse problem..."

"Kamal, talk less and watch more!" Tariq admonished his nephew.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Bring nails, rubber bands, and bullets!"

We still have plenty of 7.62mm bullets! Remove the bullet, insert it upside down into the steel tube, and push it all the way to the top!

By continuing to insert explosives, the warhead can be completely secured!

Place a layer of soil in the middle to isolate it, and then stuff the entire propellant column inside!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Qin Yuan's actions.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Kamal was no fool and quickly realized what was happening, his face beaming with excitement.

"When the bullet hits the ground, the nail at the tip will move inward due to the impact, and the nail head will ignite the primer, thus detonating the bullet. The gunpowder in the bullet can then ignite these explosives... Genius, this is absolutely a genius idea!"

They adapted to local conditions and made do with what they had, using whatever resources they had on hand to create rockets!

Everyone looked at them with admiration.

"Hassan, how...how did you learn to tinker with this kind of thing?" Hamid asked, his face full of suspicion.

During class, we trained combat skills, the use of various weapons, mine laying, and even tank operation. But we never taught how to make rockets using rudimentary methods!

How do you learn it? By leveraging the advantages of being a time traveler, of course!

In my past life, I had thoroughly studied Hamas's Qassam rockets!

The smallest Qassam 1 was 80 centimeters long, weighed 5.5 kilograms, and was loaded with 1 kilogram of explosives. Its flight range was only 3,000 meters!

The largest Qassam 4 is two meters long and weighs a staggering ninety kilograms, making it a heavy rocket with a range of over sixteen kilometers!

The propellant was potassium nitrate and sugar, and the warheads were all sorts of things. Besides ammonium nitrate, they even disassembled unexploded shells to retrieve the explosives inside! Anyone who did this job was a true hero!

The ammonium nitrate I used was only half as potent as TNT, but it was safe.

As for the rockets we have... they should be of Qassam 2 standard.

It is 1.2 meters long, weighs 30 kilograms, has a warhead of 5 kilograms, and has a range of about 10 kilometers.

At this moment, Qin Yuan smiled sheepishly in response to Hamid's question.

"Last winter, a few camel guests came to the tribe. I was recuperating at the time and was a bit bored, so I chatted with one of them. He told me that he was researching these things."

This is a true story, but those guests never mentioned these things; they left long ago, so there's no risk of the lie being exposed.

"I see, so he really is a weapons master! I'd love to meet him."

"Teacher, we'll meet again if we're meant to. Let's do a test now!"

"Hassan, how far can our rockets fly?" Hamid continued to ask.

"Around ten kilometers, but we'll have to test it to be exact..."

"Ten kilometers? Wouldn't that mean we could hit Kitaf directly?"

Kitaf is a small town northeast of Saada, the capital of Saada province, and serves as the northeastern gateway to Saada.

The town of Maz is located about ten kilometers northeast of Kitaf!

That's why the government forces were anxious. Upon hearing that Maz had been captured, they immediately dispatched a battalion of infantry and a company of tanks, hoping to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop.

Because they had ample troops at their disposal, they were even able to send out a tank and a platoon to intercept reinforcements!

Now that they have been repelled, they are unlikely to launch another attack in the short term and will have to wait for reinforcements. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we might as well launch a counterattack on Kitaf.

Tariq and Hamid exchanged a glance, both seeing the excited gleam in each other's eyes.

Damn it!

The Slipper Army is never ambiguous; they adhere to the principle of taking action rather than talking!

"If we're going to attack Kitaf, we'll have to use all the steel pipes and fertilizer we have on hand... But let's test it out first."

To send enough rockets to the Kitaf defenders, you need to send a wave and then charge in. You might just take Kitaf!

But we also need to know if the rocket can get through!

The Qassam rockets flew past, and even the Iron Dome couldn't intercept them. After all, the trajectory of the projectiles might skip across the water or even make a sharp turn like the Three-Body Problem...

"That's right, let's test it first!" Hamid nodded.

Qin Yuan found two wooden sticks, made a simple support, put the rocket on it, aimed at the distant no-man's land, and after several adjustments, Qin Yuan picked up a torch and aimed it at the tail of the rocket.

That's right, lighting the rocket with a torch—our Qassam rockets are launched in such an ancient way!

Whoosh!

Night had fallen, and the flames trailing behind the rockets were dazzling!

Everyone stared wide-eyed as the enormous rocket took off and then landed.

boom!

It exploded! It really exploded!

Moreover, such a large ball of fire has an explosive force equivalent to at least three kilograms of TNT!

As for the range... judging from the hillside where the flames are in the distance, it should be about ten kilometers!

"Great, fantastic! This rocket works perfectly! The explosion effect is pretty good too! I'll see how big a crater it creates now!" Kamal was very excited.

"Just have Hassan take his tribe over there, measure the precise distance, and make a simple firing table. Our tribesmen, don't just stand there! We need to rush to make rockets!" Tariq said excitedly.

"Uncle, shouldn't we give this rocket a name?"

"Great... let's call it the Hassan Rocket! Hamid, what do you think?"

Hamid nodded: "Okay!"

This is the first weapon made by the Slipper Army. They will manufacture many more weapons in the future! Eventually, they'll even have hypersonic missiles!
