Yang Fan returned to the Nanyuan Military Camp and found a remote corner by himself. He laid a firebreak around it and began to study the principles of napalm bombs.
Yang Fan has a lot of used tires here. They were all collected by idiots.
The vast majority of old tires can be refurbished through cutting. Then these old tires will be given a new life on Daming's vehicles. For a few that are seriously damaged, Yang Fan cleans them and disposes them into chips.
These rubber particles can be dissolved in gasoline and kerosene. This chemical phenomenon is called swelling, and napalm can be made in this way. (The specific principle will not be described again).
With His Majesty's consent, Yang Fan has bought all the Menghuo oil from the Ministry of Industry, totaling about two thousand tons. He is currently intensifying his efforts to refine it.
Yang Fan did some calculations and found that he could probably refine 100 tons of gasoline and 200 tons of kerosene, enough for this time. First, use some of the gasoline to make incendiary bombs.
Large incendiary bombs are used to burn city walls and gates. Small hand-held incendiary bombs are used to burn grasslands.
It is impossible for the Ordos and Tumuts to spend the winter in the city. Most of them are concentrated in several winter camps. Generally, there will be a lot of dry pasture in such places, which is convenient for livestock to dig out from under the snow with their hooves.
.
After Yang Fan prepared the gasoline bombs, he made them into small bottles. He asked An Sanxi to lead the cavalry to burn their pastures and camps at night. It has not snowed this year, so he took the opportunity to burn all the dead grass.
Yang Fan's horses were good, and the small force raided and set fire. They couldn't prevent it, and they couldn't catch up afterwards. After a few times, they couldn't stay in the winter camp any longer. Yang Fan now had a large number of cavalry on the grassland, so he took the opportunity to concentrate his troops and kill these
The camps were broken down one by one and the herdsmen were captured.
Yang Fan, the herdsman on the grassland, will naturally accept it. As for those who are naturalized in the city, let them be given to the emperor.
Hearing Yang Fan's plan, Zhang Shize rubbed his teeth and said, "You are really wicked. You burned all the grass. Didn't you drive them to a dead end?"
There are many windy days on the grasslands during this season, so just set fires every once in a while. When the wildfires break out, the Mongolians can only run to other winter camps to take shelter. After gathering themselves together, they catch the turtle in the urn at the right time. One
Can't run either.
After a day of busy work, the first batch of napalm bombs was finally ready at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Master, let's go test-fire quickly. I can't wait." Xiao Niangpi said happily.
Yang Fan was also speechless. My little girl likes to play with fire very much, and she still doesn't change her infatuation even at this age. I wonder if my dad spanked me when I was playing with fire when I was little.
Lin Yueru also had the same expression on her face.
Zhang Shize also urged: "I said, is it good or not? When it is ready, go and test-fire it. I have been busy with this thing for several days, and the waiting is very anxious."
Well, we are all young people and generally impatient.
"Let me first declare that this thing is extremely dangerous and cannot be tested here. You have to go to the island in the lake." Yang Fan said with a serious face.
"Master, why don't you hurry up and leave quickly?" Xiao Niangpi urged. When this girl heard about the arson, her little face turned red with excitement.
Yang Fan leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Children who play with fire tend to wet the bed at night."
The angry girl stepped on Yang Fan's foot hard with her little leather boots.
Yang Fan gathered together engineers from the general flag and drove a steam engine boat. He found a small island in the largest lake in Nanyuan. He nailed wooden stakes on the island and tied some pigs, sheep and other livestock.
"You all listen carefully, no one is allowed to get off the boat, just observe from the boat. Zhang Dali"
"Here we come," a burly man stood at attention and shouted.
"You put on your asbestos protective clothing and send a team to the island with a box. Follow my orders and experiment with several types of incendiary bombs one by one."
"Here!"
A team of five engineers took a small boat to the island with several boxes of incendiary bombs. There was a tree in the center of the island, which grew very tall. In this season, the leaves have all fallen, and it is the time when the weather is dry, so be careful about the fire.
It's the perfect time to set a fire, and now this tree is the target.
"Throw the Molotov cocktail, one shot." Yang Fan ordered.
A sapper picked up a glass bottle and threw it at the trunk of the tree.
Yang Fan's glass factory has started producing flat glass, and at the same time, cans and wine bottles have begun trial production. Yang Fan has no shortage of glass bottles.
This glass bottle has a capacity of about 550 ml, which is not very large. It contains a solution of gasoline and rubber powder, with white phosphorus and sugar added. The mouth of the bottle is blocked with a cork and sealed with glue.
There were many phosphate mines in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no shortage of phosphorus powder. These Molotov cocktails were the famous Molotov cocktails in later generations. They were artifacts that could even burn down tank engines.
White phosphorus has a very low ignition point and will spontaneously ignite as long as the bottle is broken, thereby detonating the incendiary bottle.
But now it is winter and the temperature is very low, so Yang Fan installed a flame tube and a gunpowder bag in the middle of the cork. These incendiary bottles are produced in underground ice cellars to ensure that they will not catch fire when white phosphorus is added.
After adding it, the air is immediately isolated. Therefore, as long as it is not broken or exposed to air, it will not catch fire during normal storage and transportation.
At this time, the engineer, protected by two other engineers holding shields, pulled a glass bottle and threw it towards the dead tree.
Bang! There was a sound, the gunpowder was ignited by the fire tube, and the bottle exploded.
A ball of flame suddenly spurted out. The flames soared into the sky. Even though Yang Fan and the others were on the boat fifty meters away, they felt the heat coming from the flames.
When the gunpowder exploded, they found that a large amount of viscous gasoline and rubber solution was blown everywhere. These droplets of solution fell there and ignited the surrounding dry grass. Then they continued to burn.
A large area of the island was a sea of fire. Large areas of dead branches and leaves on the ground were ignited by the splashing napalm.
A few drops even flew onto the engineer's shield, and these steel shields were also burning with flames. Seeing the flames on the shield, a soldier couldn't help but slap it with his sword in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
Just as Yang Fan was about to stop him, it was already too late.
As soon as the soldier slapped him, flames suddenly shot up and burned his arm. Fortunately, Yang Fan asked them to remove the asbestos protective clothing in advance.
"Don't beat him, lie down on the ground, and cover his sleeves with sand. Hurry." Yang Fan shouted hurriedly.
These engineers, who often handle explosives, were very calm at this time. If they made a mistake, they would never make the same mistake again. The soldier whose arm was on fire was fine because he was wearing asbestos clothes. He immediately lay on the ground and asked
Stretch your arms forward.
Several other people immediately picked up sand and covered his arms, and the fire was put out.
"Now listen to my order, slowly untie his asbestos clothes, and withdraw his arms from the clothes. Don't remove the soil that is pressed down. The sleeves will immediately rekindle if exposed to wind."
Zhang Shize, Xiao Niangpi, Lin Yueru and the engineers were all shocked to see what this was. Once it got on it, it would keep burning. The soldier finally got out safely.
His face turned pale with fright.
At this time, a gust of wind blew away some of the sand covering the clothes. Then, an orange-red flame burned again, looking like the sand was burning.
