Chapter 1282 Preventive Measures

After Wei Boyang and others heard the explosion in the room, they felt frightened.

The manufacture of this nitrated/glycerin explosive is indeed as dangerous as Hanzhong Hou said.

Before the complete nitrate/glycerin was produced, an explosion occurred.

Wei Boyang, Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and others waited outside the room until all the acrid smoke was blown away by the wind before returning to the room.

Seeing the experimental table in the room that was in a mess due to the explosion, everyone's expressions became very ugly.

All the experiments that originally went very smoothly were performed according to the steps in the recipe. Why did the explosion occur?

"Go and inform Hanzhong Hou about this first."

"Xiaocheng, go and clean the room. Be careful not to be hurt by broken glass. Wear the mask prepared by Hanzhong Marquis."

After regaining his composure, Wei Boyang began to make arrangements for Zhang Daoyi and Zhen Cheng.

"Understood, I'll go find Hanzhong Hou right now."

"I understand, master!"

Zhang Daoyi and Zhen Cheng acted separately according to Wei Boyang's instructions.

Then Wei Boyang, Fang Yuan and the remaining three alchemists recalled together what step went wrong during the experiment and caused the explosion.

"Hanzhong, an explosion just occurred during the experiment!"

"Mr. Wei, please come over and take a look at the situation."

Bai Feng, who was checking the progress of rail construction in the R&D center, heard the bad news after seeing the panting Zhang Daoyi.

"Is anyone hurt?"

The most worrying thing happened, and then Bai Feng asked Zhang Daoyi.

"Fortunately, Mr. Wei reminded us in time. We all ran out before the explosion and no one was injured!"

Zhang Daoyi said to Bai Feng with fear after hearing this.

"Huh-that's good."

"Take me to see what caused the explosion!"

After hearing that no one was injured, Bai Feng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then asked Zhang Dao to go with him to the nitrification/glycerin explosive manufacturing workshop.

After arriving at the workshop, Zhen Cheng had already cleaned up the glass fragments in the room.

Three alchemists, including Wei Boyang and Fang Yuan, also matched the previous steps one by one with the nitrification/glycerin dynamite formula, but still could not find out the cause of the explosion.

This is the danger of manufacturing nitrated/glycerin explosives. Even if you have the formula and manufacturing steps, the danger still exists and cannot be underestimated at all.

Seeing that Wei Boyang and others were not injured, Bai Feng was completely relieved.

If any one of them is injured or killed, it will have a great impact on the subsequent production of nitrate/glycerin explosives.

And Bai Feng absolutely did not want to lose any of the alchemists present.

"Fortunately, I invited Wei Boyang to come out and help me make nitrate/glycerin explosive. Otherwise, after something like this happened today, someone might be injured because of a lack of timely response."

Bai Feng thought in his heart, and at the same time felt lucky again that he invited Wei Boyang to help make nitrified/glycerin explosives.

Then Bai Feng asked Wei Boyang:

"Mr. Wei, have you found out which step made the mistake?"

Wei Boyang shook his head when he heard this and frowned at the same time.

"The cause of the explosion has not yet been found. We carefully reviewed the previous operating steps and compared them with the operating steps in the formula. We have not found the cause of the explosion."

Then Wei Boyang said to Bai Feng in a deep voice.

Zhen Cheng, Fang Yuan and others on the side were also thinking seriously.

Bai Feng's heart sank when he heard this.

Correct operating procedures, why does it cause an explosion?

This problem must be solved!

Otherwise, the progress of manufacturing nitrate/glycerin explosives will stall.

No one wants an explosion to happen again, and if you continue to follow the correct operating procedures, an explosion will still happen.

Real nitrification/glycerin has not yet been produced. If there is another explosion at that time, this house may not be able to survive.

Zhen Cheng, who had finished cleaning the room at this time, couldn't help but said to his master Wei Boyang:

"Master, could it be because of the glass container?"

"Didn't you tell me before that using cauldrons made of different materials to refine the same elixir will produce different medicinal properties?"

When Wei Boyang and Bai Feng heard Zhen Cheng's inquiry, their eyes suddenly lit up!

Experimental container!

Perhaps it was really the problem with the experimental container that led to the final explosion.

"The situation Xiaocheng mentioned is indeed possible. What do you think, Hanzhong Hou?"

Wei Boyang nodded and said, then looked at Bai Feng.

"What Zhen Cheng said does make sense, right? I will prepare a batch of different containers and instruments, and I will conduct a new set of experiments according to the steps and the amount of raw materials used in the recipe to compare."

"In this way, we may be able to find the cause of the explosion."

After Bai Feng heard the words, he thought for a moment and then replied to Wei Boyang.

"Okay, Hanzhong Hou's suggestion is feasible."

Wei Boyang nodded and said after listening.

Then Bai Feng praised Zhen Cheng and said:

"Zhen Cheng's observation skills are very good, keep it up!"

"If the cause of the explosion is really caused by a problem with the container, I will give you a big credit!"

Hearing this, Zhen Cheng said happily to Bai Feng:

"Thank you Hanzhonghou!"

Bai Feng then appeased several other alchemists, and then returned to the R&D center to arrange for craftsmen to re-make a batch of glass containers of different styles.

At the same time, the rails used for steam train experiments in the open space outside the R&D center were about to be completed.

Bai Feng's good mood was finally ruined by the explosion of the nitration/glycerol explosives manufacturing workshop.

Soon a new batch of glass containers were manufactured and then sent to the nitration/glycerol explosives manufacturing workshop.

After this batch of new containers were delivered, Wei Boyang and others began a new round of experiments.

In this experiment, everyone wore the special armor brought by Bai Feng.

The outer layer of the armor is iron sheet, and the inner layer is leather and linen. The overall weight is not heavy, and the purpose is to prevent the fragments of the glass container from injuring people after the explosion.

Wei Boyang, Zhang Daoyi and others, who were fully armed, once again started a new experiment.

This time, in order to prevent the explosion from damaging other instruments, Wei Boyang and Zhang Daoyi conducted experiments in two rooms without other instruments.

Using the same raw material ratio and the same steps, the glass container with the same shape as before exploded again.

But the glass container with a new shape did not explode.

"It turns out that the explosion was caused by the shape of the glass container!"

After completing the experiment, Wei Boyang, Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and others said excitedly.
