Chapter [081] Ammunition Incendiary, Instantaneous Catalyst

On the second floor of Yuta Company, a space of more than 100 square meters was transformed into a chemical laboratory with the efforts of a group of chemists. The equipment and chemicals inside are purchased according to the highest military standards.

Ross has decided to develop new ammunition, starting with 'ammunition incendiary'.

In today's world, ammunition is divided into many types, such as high-energy explosives, smokeless explosives, plastic explosives, and liquid explosives.

Among them, the most stable ladder n ladder is called the king of explosives, because it has the best stability.

The plastic explosive is the American C4, which can escape the detection of X-rays, and even military dogs can hardly smell it.

Liquid explosives, invented by Nobel, are nitroglycerin. This kind of explosives can explode violently with a slight vibration. Nobel and his son once studied this kind of explosives. Because of the accident, his father was seriously injured and his younger brother was killed.

The combustion of ammunition is divided into stable combustion and unstable combustion.

As the name implies, stable combustion means that the burning speed of the ammunition is very stable, and unstable burning means that the speed of burning varies from time to time and is extremely unstable.

The combustion of ammunition generally depends on oxidizers, such as saltpetre in explosives, which is a kind of oxidizer.

With the oxidizer, the ammunition can burn without the need for outside air. The faster the burning rate, the greater the power of the ammunition.

If Ross wants to increase the burning speed of ammunition, he can only start with the oxidizer.

Ross started working on this oxidant in the laboratory.

The oxidant used by Ross uses compressed hydrogen ions.

The method of hydrogen ion extraction has long been used in reality, and the method of ionizing hydrogen ions is generally used. It is not difficult for Ross to extract hydrogen ions using this technique.

After these hydrogen ions are extracted, they are sucked into a vacuum hood by a glass tube, and the low temperature in the vacuum hood freezes the hydrogen ions into a liquid state.

The initial hydrogen ion oxidizer has actually been formed, but it needs to reach the weapon level and turn into an oxidizer with a faster burning speed. Ross only needed one step, and that was to compress the density of the hydrogen ions into a stronger phase. To use a joke: concentrated is the boutique.

Under the pressure of millions of gas pressures, hydrogen ions can be compressed into blocks like metal, which is extremely hard.

Ross doesn't have that ability, except for creating an atomic reactor, he can't create an environment of millions of pressures.

He can only use the hundreds of thousands of atmospheres of pressure generated by the 'electromagnetic device' to use high pressure to increase the density of liquid hydrogen ions. After the high-density hydrogen ions are cryogenically frozen, they turn into granules, like white powder.

At a constant temperature, this oxidant is safe, but when it encounters a high temperature above 250 degrees, it will instantly turn into a gaseous state, and when it contacts with air, it will form a polymeric hydrogen oxidant. Burns very fast.

The laboratory is full of various chemicals. Ross put on a thick explosion-proof suit and began to conduct research.

The extraction process of hydrogen ions is complicated and troublesome.

Fortunately, everything is extracted using electricity, and Ross can use a computer to control the parameters. With the assistance of Tianhe-2, this task is much less difficult.

According to the experiment, it started from failure, and then went from failure to success. It took Ross three days to extract 25 kilograms of hydrogen ions. The purity of these hydrogen ions is several times higher than that of hydrogen in industry, and the purity is extremely high. So the extraction process is much more complicated.

Ross put the liquid pure hydrogen into a high-pressure steel cylinder, which is made of 4 times special and ten times safer than gas cylinders.

Carrying the high-pressure steel cylinder, Ross drove away from Yuta Company and rushed to Lihua Company.

After entering Lihua Company, Ross called all the employees in the special steel workshop. After pausing the machine, Ross turned on the electromagnetic wall and adjusted the distance of the electromagnetic wall to the closest.

After the magnetic force repels each other, the pressure is very scary.

The pressure in the vacuum enclosure reached the limits of this unit. Ross made a little calculation and found that the pressure reached at least 180,000 atmospheres, which is already the limit of electromagnetic devices.

Ross connected the cylinder in his hand to a plastic tube, opened the valve, and poured liquid hydrogen ions into it.

A stream of liquid hydrogen as thick as a cup enters the vacuum cover, compressed by super-strong air pressure, shrinks quickly, increases in density and hardness, and turns into flour-like powder.

After two full hours of work, a bottle of hydrogen ions was compressed into a solid powder, no longer liquid.

Ross activated the conveyor belt of the electromagnetic device, and after transporting these hydrogen ions out, he quickly put them into the freezer. At a low temperature of minus 50 degrees, these hydrogen atoms are completely frozen into blocks, and there will be no change after taking them out and putting them in the palm of your hand.

Stable hydrogen ion oxidizers have been successfully produced, and they can accelerate the burning speed of ammunition. Ross's 'ammunition incendiary agent' can be regarded as an initial success. The performance is stable and unstable, and how effective it is depends on the experimental results.

The hydrogen ion oxidizer can speed up the burning speed of explosives, but the burning speed alone is not enough. The energy of the ammunition must be released instantly to increase the power of the ammunition.

Without the 'Instant Catalyst', Ross' ammunition project is only half done.

The problem of instantaneous heat release requires a mixed chemical substance that can evaporate quickly and burn easily.

The materials Ross chose were gaseous methane, ammonia, and gaseous nitric acid.

In the same way, these mixed materials must be compressed into a solid by using pressure, and then they can become a real 'instantaneous catalyst'. When it comes into contact with the 'ammunition burning agent' and then comes into contact with the flame, it can quickly burn the substance. Instantly released huge energy.

Ross returned to Yuta Corporation, and once again used the tools in the chemical laboratory to create an 'instantaneous catalyst'.

After spending another two days, Ross produced a bottle of purified high-pressure mixed gas.

Ross brought the bottle of gas to Lihua Company, and again used the pressure of the electromagnetic wall to compress the liquid mixture into a solid state. After refreezing, the 'instantaneous catalyst' has been successfully manufactured.

All that's left is to experiment and see how the 'ammunition incendiary' and 'instantaneous catalyst' work.

Ross put the two substances under a microscope, carefully tested them, and used Tianhe-2 to simulate their effects when they came into contact with gunpowder.

The first simulation, Tianhe-2, showed that the purity of the combustion agent was not enough, and the burning speed was not fast enough. After contact with the explosive, the detonation speed could only reach 9750 meters per second. This burning rate has exceeded the world's most advanced ammunition research. There are very few ammunition in the world that can achieve a detonation velocity of 9000 meters per second. The detonation speed of 9750 per second is enough to shock the world.

The improvement of the instant heat catalyst is also obvious, allowing ordinary matter to release energy instantly faster by 0.012 seconds.

"The ammunition incendiary is sufficient. But the catalyst is too weak. I must increase its heat release capacity by a factor of five."

Ross was not very satisfied with the instantaneous heat catalyst, so he continued to study it in the laboratory.

Using his powerful theoretical knowledge, Ross searched over and over again to improve the action of transient heat catalysts.
