Chapter 181 Molotov Cocktails and Alchemy Workshop [Subscribe Please]
With Chen Xuan's return, the courtyard became lively and busy again.
Two Type 69Ⅱ tanks, a ZSL-92 wheeled armored transport vehicle and a 930 yellow paint shovel were parked beside the courtyard.
The diesel engine was idling, rumbling and vibrating.
The crew on the tank was a little nervous, but they had all signed a contract and could faithfully execute the orders issued by Chen Xuan.
At this moment, they were holding back their fear of the unknown and sticking to their original position.
The street rats and passers-by around them looked at these steel behemoths curiously.
The Naroa common language turned into "chirping" bird language when it reached the ears of the battlefield crew.
Currently in Magtan City, only Chen Xuan can communicate in both directions.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Naroa continent was to unload the goods urgently.
Including more than 200 blue chemical barrels filled with mercury.
Each chemical barrel weighs 150KG, and there is dirt mixed with dust and water vapor on the surface.
It looks like it is not well preserved, and it is unknown where Su Lape pulled it from.
However, there is no sign of leakage in the leakproof groove on the barrel cover, proving that the seal of the chemical barrel is still normal.
There are nearly three tons of magic tears here, and Chen Xuan handed them to Ophelia for safekeeping.
At the same time, six sets of medical-grade sprayers that can spray mercury vapor were handed over to her.
There are a total of nine sets of this thing, and Chen Xuan kept three sets for himself as spares.
The structure of this sprayer is very complicated. It can spray mercury vapor by heating and pressurizing.
The maximum spray distance is only 6 meters, and the back-pot spray can behind can hold up to about 11 kilograms of mercury.
The driving method is two plug-in lithium batteries.
Considering that the magic tears are also corrosive to the natives of Naroa and ordinary creatures.
It is necessary to wear a gas mask when operating it, and it is best to add a few wind magic to help.
Otherwise, it is easy to hurt the enemy and lose eight hundred of your own.
Demon tears can corrode magic essence, making the magic essence practitioner fall into a weak state.
Of course, although this symptom is troublesome, it is much better than the reaction of monsters when they encounter demon tears.
You must know that demon tears are fatal to monsters!
As long as the six sets of sprayers are operated properly, they can completely block an entire front line.
It can play a decisive role when necessary.
As for the remaining demon tears, Chen Xuan plans to let the White Rose Caravan pack them into small bottles.
The capacity is about twelve times that of the test tube, making a simple throwing weapon.
Although he has asked Su Lape to use the DKBA's fungus factory to start developing mercury bullets and making special bullet molds, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
At this time, simple throwing weapons are still the most convenient and easy to obtain.
It took another half an hour to arrange various matters and transfer materials.
Time passed by every second in this situation.
After dealing with the mercury and sprayers first, Chen Xuan immediately arranged for fuel and tank ammunition.
These tanks are oil-guzzling, and the high-power diesel engine consumes oil at a speed that is beyond doubt.
Even the 930 forklift has an amazing fuel consumption under its workload.
Due to the time and transportation of materials, Chen Xuan temporarily got seven tons of fuel.
Two tons of them are more flammable gasoline.
This batch of diesel is probably enough to fill five and a half tanks of a Type 69Ⅱ tank.
As for gasoline, Chen Xuan is going to use it to make Molotov cocktails.
This task requires the help of the skillful goblins in the alchemy workshop.
There are many kinds of oil recorded in "Naroa Grand View", but there is no petroleum, the black and sticky fossil fuel.
Not to mention the more refined diesel and gasoline.
According to the conditions of the Naroa continent, there should be oil, coal, and natural gas, the three musketeers of fossil fuels.
But there is no mention of it in the book.
Either it exists, but it is not used on a large scale.
Or it is the productivity of magic that has led to the use of mineral fuels being in a blank stage.
After all, compared with oil, coal, and natural gas, magic is a truly efficient and clean energy source.
The above is just Chen Xuan's guess. No one knows what secrets are buried in the land under his feet.
Without going deep into this issue, now is not the time to conduct geological archaeology.
The practicality of Molotov cocktails is beyond doubt.
A simple Molotov cocktail only needs a glass wine bottle, add a certain proportion of gasoline, alcohol and other alcohol-based flammables to mix, and then plug the mouth with cloth.
Although it is not as powerful as white phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs, it is simple, convenient and low-cost.
The materials brought by Chen Xuan are enough to make three or four thousand Molotov cocktails.
The famous Molotov cocktail is synonymous with Molotov cocktails.
In fact, there are similar things in the alchemy workshop.
That thing is made of the scrap powder of fire magic gems and the subcutaneous fat of fire foxes.
It is called "Flame Can", and it needs to input a small amount of magic to activate it before use.
The actual effect is actually similar to the Blue Star version of the Molotov cocktail.
It just does not need to be ignited by open flames, just input magic and throw it.
In terms of cost conversion alone, the cost of a "Flame Can" is more than ten times that of a bottle of Molotov cocktail, which is a low-level alchemical creation.
There are still seven water clocks left, enough for the alchemy workshop to make Molotov cocktails.
In order to prevent the shortage of glass containers in the city, Chen Xuan also thoughtfully brought thousands of green glass beer bottles, which are a lot in Miaowadi.
Usually, the local militia and DKBA soldiers will drink a little wine.
And the most popular thing here is beer.
There are a lot of beer bottles piled up against the walls of many buildings.
At Sulape's command, tens of thousands of beer bottles were easily collected.
After handling the transfer of materials, Chen Xuan took Ophelia and took a temporary armored formation composed of tanks, armored vehicles and bulldozers, carrying bottles, oil and alcohol-based materials to the alchemy workshop in the city.
At present, the alchemy workshop, blacksmith association, tailor guild, and those independent chambers of commerce in the city have not been contracted by Chen Xuan.
He went to the alchemy workshop in person this time, not only to make Molotov cocktails, but also to intimidate the person in charge there, Justo Oiler.
The alchemy workshop in the city is located in the second circle, and has three main branch businesses.
They are: mechanical engineering, magic technology, and alchemy potions.
Chen Xuan wants to develop an armored corps in Naroa and transform the chariots.
In addition to the Blacksmith Association, the only goblin engineers in the alchemy workshop can provide support.
Their talent in mechanical structure ranks in the top three in the Ten Thousand Races Alliance.
They also have in-depth research on magic technology.
The magic machinery made by the goblins is famous throughout the continent.
The magic core is derived from magic technology, which is a power system fueled by magic energy.
Its status in Naroa is like the internal combustion engine in Blue Star.
This shows the attainments of the goblins in this regard.
As for alchemy, it goes without saying that all kinds of magic potions and alchemy materials are inseparable from the theoretical support of this discipline.
If Chen Xuan wants to make Blue Star and Naroa complement each other in technology, then he must master the alchemy workshop.
This relatively independent organization is not controlled or recruited by the Baron.
So he had to take time out to go there specially!
…
"Yo hey! Yo hey! Yo hey!"
"Who are we?!"
"Smart goblins by the Rustwater Lake!"
"What are we best at?!"
"Repair! Gambling! Compounds!"
"Yo hey! Yo hey! Yo hey!"
In the second circle, inside a large spire building complex.
The high-pitched folk song shouting was echoing around.
This is the Magtan City Alchemy Workshop. Like the Blacksmith Guild, it is an independent organization directly under the headquarters.
It is not subject to the jurisdiction of the local lord.
As the war is approaching, the alchemy workshop is in full swing.
Hundreds of goblins shouted loud slogans, with a relaxed and happy tone.
The magic transport vehicle drove in the field, pulling a full warehouse of raw materials to the workshop.
There are also many green-skinned goblins wearing gloves and goggles and suspenders working clothes who are assembling various city defense equipment with oily tools.
The magic element training method makes up for the short stature of the goblins.
These goblins can easily carry parts larger than their bodies and complete the assembly.
The forging of equipment parts in the city is the responsibility of the Blacksmith Association.
But only these skillful goblins can do the assembly task.
This is called specialization!
Not very loud explosions are often heard in the potion workshop.
The magic circle blown by the strong wind discharges the smoke produced by the failed adjustment into the sky along a chimney as high as two or three hundred meters.
They don’t seem to be affected by the coming of the magic disaster, and they are always immersed in the pleasant work.
For most creatures, work is a boring torture.
But the goblins can enjoy it, which must be said to be a manifestation of the advantages of racial talent.
As long as these cunning little guys are placed in the right positions, they are the king of rolls.
At this time, Justo Oiler, the head of the alchemy workshop, was standing in the field, jumping up and down in frustration.
In front of it, there were more than a dozen blacksmith apprentices and two senior blacksmiths in charge of the team.
One of the senior blacksmiths was a dwarf, and was an acquaintance of Chen Xuan -
-- Johnson Iron Furnace.
Accompanying him was a young human wearing a hooded shirt and with a scar on his face.
Behind those blacksmith apprentices were several magic transport vehicles that Chen Xuan had seen before.
Justo Oil Engine was spitting and shouting angrily.
"Damn drunkard Johnson, damn iron idiot Wormish!"
"You should all be scalded to death by the forge!"
"That's the few high-grade forging materials left in the alchemy workshop, and you ruined them all!"
Justo Oil Engine was no longer as calm and composed as when he talked to Ophelia.
The decent suit on his body disappeared, replaced by a work suit covered with oil stains.
In his hand, he was holding an open-end wrench that was taller than him.
Faced with its anger, the scarred young man chose to ignore it.
But it was Jansen Iron Furnace that could not help but respond.
The dwarf blacksmith stretched out his rough hand and grabbed Justo's neck.
Then he pulled out the wine flask from his waist and took a big gulp from it.
"Calm down, you are still so noisy!"
"There is a problem with that batch of fine forging alloy. The temperature when you smelted it was not high enough, resulting in the material not being completely fused. When it entered the forge for secondary forging, it separated."
"So the Blacksmith Association can't deliver the last batch of springs needed for the trebuchets."
Jensen Iron Furnace took the opportunity to explain.
"Gudong..."
"Cough cough cough..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"There is no problem with the process of the Alchemy Workshop's smelting workshop. I saw that batch of materials shipped out with my own eyes!"
Justo Oil Machine covered his throat, coughed a few times, and refuted sharply.
At this time, the scarred young man known as "Iron Maniac Wormish" suddenly spoke.
"It is true that there is a problem with the materials provided by the Alchemy Workshop."
"Jensen did not lie, I can prove it."
He wore two badges on his chest.
One is a third-level blacksmith badge, and the other is a badge of the person in charge certified by the Kingdom Blacksmith Association.
Ophelia went to the Blacksmith Association to discuss the bicycle trade.
It should have been Iron Maniac Wormish who was in charge, but in the end it was Johnson Iron Furnace who came forward to receive her.
Because this guy is an out-and-out iron maniac, obsessed with forging, and has no interest in business at all.
The daily operation arrangements are all handled by the dwarf blacksmith.
That's why Johnson has great power within the Blacksmith Association of Bang City.
When the iron maniac Wormish spoke, even the stubborn Hutos Oiler stopped yelling.
Because Wormish is a rigorous and paranoid guy, he never lies and is a real craftsman.
Even among the fanatical goblin craftsmen, he is recognized as an upright person.
Since he said so, the problem should be with that batch of materials.
Thinking of this, Hutos called a subordinate and ordered it to go to the scrap warehouse to check.
The truth of the matter soon came to light.
It turned out that the workshop made a mistake in a hurry, and the scrap was transported to the warehouse, but the smelted finished products were transported to the scrap warehouse, causing a big mistake.
The appearance seems to be not much different, but the difference is reflected during the smelting and forging.
After learning the truth, Hutos immediately changed his face and smiled.
It bowed apologetically, and its big green nose trembled slightly with its movements.
Just when Johnson Iron Furnace complained a few words and was about to leave.
A "rumbling" sound came from the street outside the alchemy workshop.
The ground began to tremble, and both the dust and the scattered iron filings jumped rhythmically.
Hutos Oil Engine and Iron Maniac Wormish's eyes lit up at the same time.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the gate of the alchemy workshop.
I saw several behemoths driving smoothly into the field driven by tracks.
A striking track mark was left behind.
Main battle tanks weighing thirty or forty tons each are still heavy giants even in the other world.
The momentum of their advance is no less than that of several giant beasts passing by.
When they saw the first tank, the pupils of everyone in the alchemy workshop shrank.
Especially Johnson Iron Furnace, because he saw his master sitting on the hood!
...
The foreshadowing of Iron Maniac Wormish is in Chapter 96. If you are interested, you can review it.
