A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 551 The sun said, "Good morning, good morning, why do I have a brother on the ground?&q

No wonder he's into explosions.

These two kept talking about increasing the dosage, which completely confused Jiang Xia.

How much bigger do you want it?

"all!"

Teacher Zhemin, who changed majors halfway through his career, and his apprentice whom he picked up halfway through, spoke in unison.

Jiangxia stumbled and almost fell down the cave.

"How much is all of them?"

"Less than a ton... Sigh, propylene oxide is still a bit difficult to process. The rest was accumulated in the lab over a year..."

"Hey, you seem to be quite good at mechanical equipment. When you have time, I'll take you over there for a look and see if you can help them improve their efficiency."

Jiang Xia nodded in agreement with Teacher Zhemin's words, and at the same time began to calculate some data.

What's the yield of our young lady again? Twenty thousand tons?

Our thermobaric bomb, 3 tons plus 1 ton, is only 4 tons in total. Even if the explosive power is 3 times greater, it's still only 12 tons.

I'm sure it'll be alright. However, the power of this thermobaric bomb lies mainly in its shockwave and high temperature. What if it blows the mountaintop away like a pressure cooker…?

Wait... wouldn't that be a repeat of the Tianqi-era explosion in the Ming Dynasty? If it really turned out like that, all these people would probably be hung on the city wall to air dry, right?

Jiang Xia told Teacher Zhemin about her concerns, and Teacher Zhemin glared at her, "Do you think I haven't considered this?"

"Do you still remember the formula for calculating peak overpressure?"

"I don't remember at all! You switched from mechanical engineering to explosives engineering and haven't included me since!" Jiang Xia said speechlessly.

Teacher Zhemin adjusted his large glasses with his hand: "Oh, right. I forgot about that. So how did you make this kind of bomb?"

"Wasn't there a dust explosion in the factory? Teacher, have you forgotten what the big boss said about how, when faced with a research problem, the most important thing is to first understand the problem. This is often the most important and time-consuming part, and it's also easily overlooked. To figure out why the dust exploded, we did an experiment, and that's how we found out!"

"Besides, the key to this thermobaric bomb is the rupture of the fuel casing, which is quite different from the big buggy you're playing with..."

Teacher Zhemin nodded: "That's true. But, did the big boss say that? I don't remember."

Tsk, of course you don't remember, you said those words yourself, I just copied and pasted them beforehand.

The boy with the ahoge suppressed a laugh and nudged the young man from Zeshan next to him: "Hey, what's that formula again?"

Without hesitation, the young man from Zeshan replied: "P=R/W^1/3"

"Don't worry, brother. We've done the calculations. The peak overpressure isn't enough to push this rocky mountain apart. Even if we take heat radiation into account, I estimate the mountain will only move inwards..."

As he spoke, the young man from Zeshan clasped his hands together and pressed them down.

"I estimate that the above-ground part of this mountain will collapse inward due to overpressure, completely covering the cave. This will not only force the groundwater out, but also provide a solid foundation, preventing the reservoir from leaking!"

"Okay, you guys are experts, I trust you!"

Zeshan and Teacher Zhemin exchanged a glance, both revealing eight teeth at the same time.

"All right!"

……

Night is about to dawn...

It is said that the darkest time is before dawn, but this scenario seems somewhat incongruous when applied to the villages of Hongxing Commune.

There are too many people...

To ensure safety, Jiang Xia, on her grandmother's advice, requested that Company Commander Tang and his men evacuate the people from the surrounding villages to a more distant location.

Fortunately, the truck carrying the cooperation reward from the comprehensive machinery factory hadn't left yet. Hearing that it was Xiao Jiang's request, Wang Tiezhu from the transportation team patted his chest and stepped forward.

As for the excuse for evacuating, Company Commander Tang used military secrets to cover it up. But there were too many people, and even with his own trucks and the transport team, they couldn't transport them all in one trip. The super Yellow River truck from the machinery factory was big, but its cargo compartment was full of stuff, including enamel basins, thermos bottles, and more than ten other miscellaneous items.

Forget it, if I have time to unload the goods, I might as well make a few more trips.

But looking at the time, it seemed like there wasn't enough time. Just as they were hesitating, Wang Tiezhu from the transport team came running over to ask if the truck was going to depart or not.

After Company Commander Tang explained the situation, Wang Tiezhu raised his eyebrows: "I thought it was nothing serious. Comrade, watch me! I guarantee I'll finish it in one trip!"

Standing atop the giant head of the Super Yellow River Card, Wang Tiezhu banged on an enamel basin, attracting everyone's attention. He then displayed items resembling a kettle and an enamel chamber pot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the machinery factory is holding a New Year's long-distance run! First come, first served, and a prize!"

Seeing the brand-new enamel basin in Wang Tiezhu's hand, even the old men and women who had been the first to board the bus wanted to slip off.

Fortunately, Wang Tiezhu added, "Prizes will be counted on a family basis! Even if the elderly arrive in the car, it will still count!"

Then, Wang Tiezhu threw out a string of firecrackers and was about to say: "Let's set off after the firecrackers go off."

Before he could even say those words, a small section of firecrackers exploded halfway through, and there wasn't a single person left at the assembly point. Even the elderly people on the bus kept urging the driver to hurry up and drive away.

Wang Tiezhu raised an eyebrow at Company Commander Tang: "Comrade, how about that! This is what you call the effective use of the 'unit analysis method,' breaking down the collective into families, and then breaking down the families into individuals. Impressive, right? If you run into Xiao Jiang, could you give him a heads-up and ask him to include this in the book he's currently editing?"

Company Commander Tang gave him a thumbs up with great admiration: "No problem, I'll report back when I get back! But, won't the prizes you mentioned cause you trouble? Do you need me to write an explanation letter?"

"Hey... this batch of stuff was originally meant for them! The leaders of this commune were all taken down, and I was just worried about who would take over! Now that's great, mission accomplished!"

"It's because you guys arrived a bit late; the security team had already gone home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to go. They brought out eight trucks, wow, a whole bunch of ordinary scrap metal!"

Company Commander Tang sat in the Super Yellow River truck, lit a cigarette, and gave a thumbs-up with great admiration: "No wonder Xiao Jiang is so proud when he talks about his comrades. To be frank, I never expected to hear 'analysis method' coming from someone like you!"

"Ha! That's right, I never imagined I could know over two thousand characters now! My middle school daughter can't even compare to me!"

Wang Tiezhu exhaled a puff of smoke with satisfaction: "If you want to keep up with Xiao Jiang, you have to learn. If you don't learn, you won't be able to keep up. If you fall behind, it will be embarrassing!"

"As I followed along, I suddenly turned around and realized that I seemed to be understanding more and more..."

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Tang's heart stirred. He touched the "Special Forces Training Outline" in his pocket and chuckled softly.

Raise your hand to check the time:

"Comrade Wang, let's drive for another five minutes and then stop on the side of the road."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Let me show you the most magnificent thing in the world..."

Company Commander Tang was used to life and death, and in his view, the moment something explodes is the most magnificent thing in the world.

Of course, the best person to savor this splendor is his opponent on the other side of the trench.

Therefore, he didn't mind sharing this wonderful moment with Xiao Jiang's coworkers.

……

As dawn broke, a red sun peeked out, revealing half of its head.

Suddenly, it was astonished to discover that what appeared to be one of its brothers had appeared on the ground...
