The Goddess Shines on America

The best place to experiment with explosives is not in the room, not to mention that Alice has already rented a space alone. In the depths of the plain more than 800 meters away from the inter-county expressway, and 320 meters away from the research institute in a straight line, the grassland here has been completely cleared. For practical considerations, Alice is of course not limited to pouring concrete floors, as long as there is room.

"As you can see, this is our main target at the moment. Sandbags, marble, concrete bricks, and many other materials, but I think you must be most interested in seeing its power on dirt clearings right now?"

Maiya has always responded suspiciously, because Alice seems to have handled the situation too simply. Explosives in the form of transparent crystals, this is really unheard of. However, judging from the attitude of the developer, this is still such a remarkable thing, it seems to be several times more powerful than RDX.

Of course, Maiya has been studying at West Point for two years, and has a professional soldier as her father, so she knows a lot about high-performance explosives.

For reasons of practicality and cost, most bombs today are made of TNT mixed with RDX. But for some more sophisticated weapons, such as missile warheads, anti-tank charges, additives for rocket propellants, and even blasting charges for detonating nuclear weapons, Octojin is the choice. As for the one just developed the year before last CL-20...more than ten times more powerful than TNT, and the cost is also proportional, it is very difficult to promote it.

"I suppose we should look for cover?"

Looking at the small bag in Alice's hand, Maiya chuckled and said, "Even if you say this thing is stable, but the flying mud doesn't recognize people, I don't want to take a bath right away."

"Ann~"

It's no wonder that she could understand, Alice just put the small bag in an open space.

This is also to maximize the power of explosives. The pure natural soil is much more relaxed than the urban environment, and there is no need to dig deep holes, just detonate directly on the surface. After quickly setting the time, Alice quickly ran towards Maiya.

"I set it for one minute, hurry up and run a hundred meters away~"

Maiya walked slowly. The person who set the time needs to run far away, but she was already 80 or 90 meters away. Fortunately, the area of ​​this open space is not small, and there is no need to worry about the shoes getting wet with grass branches and dew when walking a distance of 200 meters in one breath.

Then, it's time to explode.

Alice stood beside her with a smile, reading the countdown word by word.

"eight!"

"seven!"

"six!"

"five!"

Maiya looked calmly at Xiaobao in the distance, of course she would not be frightened by a timed explosion, no matter what the scale.

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Buzz.

A shock wave started from the explosion point and spread in all directions. The roar was accompanied by a huge amount of soil being lifted up, as if a small mushroom cloud was born at this moment. The ground two hundred meters away continued to vibrate, and within a short while, the shock wave had spread tens of meters away, and a violent gust of wind blew wildly in all directions. Maiya's short hair fluttered, she squinted her eyes, and observed that the grass a hundred meters away behind her was bent by the strong wind.

"Wow~"

Alice was standing beside her, with her hands pinching her waist, she looked very majestic and high-spirited, her long hair was fluttering but not messy, it was really good quality hair.

"Alice~!?"

The explosion stopped soon, but Maiya was a little uneasy: "The shock wave came out? You always tell me how much charge is in that bag just now!?"

As she said that, she still didn't forget to look at the pile in the back corner.

For an experiment, Alice came here pushing a small cart, on which there were twenty custom-made bomb assemblies the size of bricks. Maiya didn't even touch it, but from the way it looked, a bag weighed at most a pound, right? But the explosive power in front of me...

The smoke dissipated quickly, and the result was in front of her, so she ran over without waiting for Alice's answer.

It was a big deep pit with a diameter of six meters. Since it was detonated on an open ground after all, the depth would not be exaggerated, and the slope was very gentle. Standing on the edge of the pothole, Maiya knew at a glance that the area of ​​the deep pit was more than enough to fit four extended Lincolns, and maybe five or six Harley motorcycles could be packed in as well!

"Yo~Maiya~"

At this time, Alice ran forward unhurriedly, with a proud face: "Guess for yourself, how much medicine is in my bag?"

A brick-sized explosive package, after removing the timing device and fuze, how much charge is there in the warhead?

Of course, there is no lower limit to this question, because of course it is to pretend as much as you like. And Maiya has seen the deity of explosives in the laboratory, crystal-like transparent crystals, the density is similar to that of crystals, even if it is filled with a whole package that is as big as a head, how heavy can it be?

"let me guess……"

Staring at the big hole in front of her, Maiya grinned.

The explosion of one kilogram of TNT can theoretically produce 4.2 million joules of energy. According to the calculation of 1 joule = 0.102 kg/m, the energy released by one kilogram of TNT can move a one-kilogram object 420 kilometers, or a 100-kg object 4.2 kilometer.

The explosives used in modern army grenades are also made of this cheap and stable TNT. The charge of a grenade is about 50 grams. After the explosion, exposed targets within 10 meters cannot survive. One kilogram of TNT is equivalent to 200 grenades exploding at the same time.

West Point Military Academy even gave demonstrations to the cadets. The instructor placed 1 ton of TNT on the loess ground, resulting in a crater of 37 cubic meters, and all the glass windows set up 200 meters away were shattered.

To say that the explosion Alice demonstrated was as heavy as a kilogram of TNT...

A 76mm high-explosive shell has a charge of about one kilogram and can reduce a small house on the second floor to rubble.

Looking at the six-meter-diameter pit at the scene, at least one pound is more than enough.

"...Three hundred grams?"

Thinking that this is a new type of explosive specially developed by Alice herself after all, Maiya immediately offered a quota not lower than that of Hessokin.

"Three hundred grams!?"

However, Alice clasped her arms together: "Three hundred grams is the same level as Hesorkin, right? Maiya, are you questioning my ability?"

Maiya was impatient, and went straight back to the way she came from: "Just tell me how many grams, so that I don't have to open one of the bags myself..."

"One hundred grams!"

Then, Maiya paused as expected.

Then she turned her head, her eyes widened: "Fifty grams...Alice, are you sure?"

Of course this is not a joke, Maiya still couldn't bear it, and picked up a dynamite bag with her own hands. Sure enough, it was the size of a brick but very light in weight. She skillfully removed all the packages, and then found such a small package of transparent crystals in the core part.

Like a broken crystal, with a slight bump, it is indeed fifty grams.

The detonation heat of TNT is about 4560KJ/Kg, and the detonation velocity is 6920m/s, and RDX is about 1.3 times of this data. Furthermore, as far as Maiya knows, the new high explosive Octogen seems to be a white granular crystal, its detonation heat is as high as 5673KJ/Kg, and its detonation velocity is about 9110m/s.

Alice's broken crystal is much stronger than Octojin's.

"Alice." Maiya rubbed her temples and said, "Tell me about its composition process again, I didn't memorize it carefully in the laboratory just now."

"Decompose heavy water, that is, deuterium oxide, and organically combine with nitrogen, oxygen and carbon to form an octagonal stable molecular chain. It is stable and not easy to explode, and the isotopes of hydrogen are also substances with small molecular weight and high unit energy. Carbon element It is also suitable for the detonation part... yes, the detonation part on the molecular level, focusing on the final explosion effect from the microscopic level."

That is to apply the basic principles of bombs to the molecular level. After all, Maiya is not a high-achieving student in the Department of Chemistry. She can't fully understand what this means, but the other sounds are already very remarkable.

Looking at the "broken crystal chip" in her hand, she said: "Then what about the manufacturing cost? Heavy water is easy to get, just electrolyze water, but I have also seen those messy devices in your laboratory, decomposing deuterium oxide, Will it cost a lot to organically combine with nitrogen, oxygen and carbon, and then what octagonal structure?"

Alice laughed softly from behind.

"Didn't you tell me the raw materials yourself? Electrolyzed water is converted to heavy water and then decomposed. There are liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen tanks sold everywhere. Carbon can be extracted directly from graphite. It can't be cheaper. Eh!"

"So……"

"So, any high school chemistry teacher can try to refine methamphetamine, but unless the basic chemistry research reaches the Nobel level, no one can try to refine 99% purity."

Alice proudly took the dynamite from Maiya, but she still had to wrap the dynamite bag again.

"This is a purely technological problem, more precisely, it is a problem of experimental procedures. It is a very basic and basic field, but it can test the level the most."

"It's like when you soldiers learn the technique of grappling, you always throw out a simple punch, but the ones who get knocked down are always recruits. Is the cost high? The cost is not high at all, and the process is very simple, but it just happens. My punch can knock you down, but your punch is deflected by me."

Speaking of this, what Alice thought of was the battle of Juxian Village in "Dragon Ba Bu". Aunt Qiao Feng's Taizu's long punches have beaten so many heroes and heroes all over the place. This is a typical example.

Sure enough, even Maiya nodded.

"I don't understand pure chemistry, but if you want to talk about grappling, this is indeed the truth."

Watching Alice getting ready for the second demonstration, she chuckled lightly and said, "It's different from when I first went to West Point, now I see any rookie come over casually, and I can knock him down with one move!"
