Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

After returning to the arsenal, Zhao Tianyang handed the sacks to the employees who were digging and asked them to fill them with soil to make sandbags.

Then he returned to his room, took out a piece of white paper and began to think hard with a frown.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, Master Liu knocked on Zhao Tianyang's door with a bowl of rice.

"Master Liu?"

"You haven't eaten yet? Deputy Director Li wanted to bring you food, but I saw it and did it for you."

Master Liu handed the bowl to Zhao Tianyang with a kind face: "Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. Eat quickly."

"Thank you!"

Zhao Tianyang took the bowl, ate while looking at the drawings on the table and continued thinking.

Seeing this, Master Liu also walked over to take a look and said in surprise: "Anti-aircraft balloon! You want to deal with the Japanese planes?"

Barrage balloons originated in World War I and made an indelible contribution to the defense of the British Isles.

Later, during the Red Square military parade, Comrade Xiao Si also launched a lot of anti-aircraft balloons to ensure the smooth progress of the Red Square military parade.

"Yes."

Zhao Tianyang took a bite of rice and said in a distressed tone, "But anti-aircraft balloons need rubber and nylon membranes. I don't have either of these two things. I was wondering if I could use something else instead."

"Don't think too much. Foreign countries have their own prevention and control methods, and we also have our own national conditions."

Old Liu patted Zhao Tianyang on the shoulder and said, "At worst, we can just dismantle all the machines and hide in the mountains. We can still defend against air attacks."

"National conditions!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. Zhao Tianyang put down the bowl and immediately went to the table to redesign it.

"Mr. Liu, you are right. We have our own national conditions. We don't have anti-aircraft balloons, but we have Kongming lanterns!"

"Kongming Lantern?"

Mr. Liu thought about it and was not too optimistic: "Kongming lanterns are not bulletproof, and they can't lift heavy objects. They can't be compared with anti-barrier balloons at all."

"Then change it. A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine."

Zhao Tianyang kept writing and drawing. Once he had an idea, inspiration came to him. He thought of a solution to the difficulties mentioned by Mr. Liu almost in the next second.

Master Liu, who was standing behind Zhao Tianyang, looked at the drawing that was gradually taking shape on the table and fell into deep thought.

"How about it, Mr. Liu, do you think it's okay?"

Zhao Tianyang flicked at the finished drawings and said proudly.

“It’s a bold idea. We can give it a try.”

Mr. Liu is not very sure, but from a scientific point of view, it has a great chance of success.

"Then give it a try."

The next day, Zhao Tianyang called a meeting of the workers in the arsenal.

He told them about the possibility of the Japanese bombing the arsenal. In the panic, Zhao Tianyang proposed to form a temporary factory defense team to protect the arsenal.

Although the workers present were also very scared, they immediately became enthusiastic when they thought that if the arsenal was gone, their current good life would be gone too.

There was no need for mobilization; everyone rushed to join the defense team. However, in order not to affect the normal operation of the arsenal, Zhao Tianyang only selected one hundred strong workers.

"I'll leave the matter of Liu Lao's arsenal to you."

Because Li Yuncai and he were both busy with air defense, Zhao Tianyang had to leave the specific affairs of the factory to Mr. Liu.

“Just do it. No matter if it works or not, as long as we try, we won’t regret it.”

Mr. Liu encouraged.

Zhao Tianyang first gave Li Yuncai 60 people and asked them to go up the mountain to cut trees, and then process the trees into very thin wood chips, and finally force dry them with fire.

Then we assigned five workers to buy some bamboo (some people say there is no bamboo in Shanxi, but in fact there is some, just a little, mainly distributed in places like Yuncheng and Jincheng).

Finally, 30 people were assigned to move all the cotton in Li Yunlong's warehouse and roll it into cotton threads for use.

He brought the remaining workers and tools to the stream again. Because of the winter, the stream was covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Xiao Li, put the pot on the stove and put the soap in to melt. Xiao Wang, go find some pine sawdust, finer ones! Everyone else, follow me, we're going to dig an ice pit."

"Yes." X5

Zhao Tianyang and his men worked hard for a long time and finally dug out an ice pit.

“Phew, that’s not easy!”

Zhao Tianyang wiped the sweat from his head.

"Director, I'm fine now."

"The factory manager has also brought back the pine sawdust. Just the fine ones as you said."

At this time, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang also completed the task and ran to report to Zhao Tianyang.

"it is good."

Zhao Tianyang nodded and walked to the smoking pot.

He poured the carbon powder that had been prepared long ago and the pine sawdust that had just been brought back into the pot and began to stir-fry them quickly.

After everything was stirred evenly, Zhao Tianyang shouted immediately.

"Xiao Li is now."

"Yes."

Xiao Li agreed, wrapped the handles of the pot on both sides with a rag, then picked it up, ran to the ice pit that had just been dug, and put the pot down.

"Okay, everyone stay away."

Zhao Tianyang gave an order, picked up the gasoline and glycerin with a serious expression, and poured them in carefully.

Seeing that there was only smoke coming out of the pot without any other reaction, Zhao Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the spoon and began to stir it slowly.

After the ingredients in the pot were stirred evenly, Zhao Tianyang poured them into the prepared ceramic bowl.

"Is this all right, Director?"

At this time, several workers slowly came over.

"It should be successful if nothing unexpected happens."

Zhao Tianyang nodded.

After another thirty minutes, seeing that the liquid in the bowl was about to harden, Zhao Tianyang found a stone, washed it clean, and pressed it hard on the contents of the ceramic bowl.

"Okay, now it's up to time."

noon.

Zhao Tianyang, who had just finished his meal, had no time to rest and hurried back to the stream with his men. There was a worker there who was guarding the ceramic bowl while warming himself by the fire.

"You go to eat first."

"Yes."

After the workers left, Zhao Tianyang picked up the bowl, pressed the solids in the bowl, looked at the greasy substance on his fingers and nodded: "It should be fine, let's remove the mold."

Soon a round solid object was dug out.

"Throw it into the fire and see."

Zhao Tianyang said.

With a "puff" sound, the flame that seemed very weak just now suddenly jumped up after the solid object was added.

Zhao Tianyang, who was five meters away, could clearly feel the heat of the flames.

After waiting for twenty minutes, the flames finally died down.

"Success."

Zhao Tianyang waved his hand excitedly and said to the two workers beside him.

"Immediately follow the process I just mentioned and start making this thing. The proportions are 1.5 kg of soap, 5 kg of carbon powder, 1 kg of pine sawdust, and 1 liter of gasoline."

"Yes."
