Chapter 981 Data Package
After reviewing the research materials, Zhang Yunhe learned that the new fuel for the flamethrower was solidified gasoline, also known as gel-like gasoline.
It involves adding a thickener to gasoline to make it into a gel state, and then adjusting the material ratio to produce solidified gasoline with different viscosities.
The thickener developed by Levitt and his research team was the first of its kind, composed of naphthalic acid and palmitic acid. Its components are a mixture of 25% naphthenic acid, 25% oleic acid, and 50% lauric acid and palmitic acid separated by saponification of coconut oil. Because the acids contained are all aluminum salts, it is also called aluminum soap or mixed organic acid aluminum salt, and it is made into powder crystals for storage.
The heat, temperature, and combustion time produced by gasoline and napalm are completely different. Napalm has strong adhesion and burns slowly. The initial combustion of napalm can produce a high temperature of 800 to 1300 degrees Celsius.
Aluminum powder, magnesium powder, yellow phosphorus and other combustibles can also be added to napalm to make napalm bombs. The temperature generated after the explosion and combustion can reach 1500-3000 degrees Celsius and the burning time is prolonged. This can cause local tissue burns as well as systemic magnesium and phosphorus poisoning.
Zhang Yunhe's reason for obtaining the research and technical data on napalm was not just to have his arsenal produce fuel for flamethrowers; his main goal was to develop napalm bombs.
Napalm bombs are very powerful. If they are dropped from the air and explode on enemy positions, the fuel will spray and burn in all directions. Because of its strong adhesion, once it sticks to the skin and clothes, it cannot be shaken off.
If there are a lot of flammable materials nearby, such as dry grass and trees, it will quickly cause a large fire. People will have nowhere to hide in it and will be burned alive or suffocated to death by burning away the surrounding oxygen.
Its combustion can also cause heatstroke, large-area burns, and shock. The high-temperature air and smoke produced by combustion can cause respiratory burns when inhaled, and the large amount of carbon monoxide produced by combustion can also cause human poisoning.
In addition to the technical research data on naphtha, Zhang Yunhe packed up all the research data from the thousands of projects in that room.
The research data from these thousands of projects are not directly related to weapons development; they cover research in various fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, astronomy, religion, art, language, geography, and climate.
Although they cannot be directly used to manufacture weapons and other products, they are the cornerstone of technological advancement.
Piscatequis, Equipment Research, Development and Engineering Center.
This is the core institution where the Joker is responsible for the research and development of soldier equipment and combat capabilities; most of the research and design work for army light weapons and equipment is done here.
This equipment research center has its own research and development capabilities, but it also frequently undertakes joint research and development projects with arms companies, and has collaborated with several well-known weapons companies owned by the Joker.
Whether the light weapons were developed independently by the center or jointly developed with other weapons companies, the research and design data can be found here.
That evening, Zhang Yunhe arrived here.
He disguised himself as a white man, booked a room at a nearby hotel, had dinner, and went to sleep in the room.
Late at night, he donned his Ironblood gear, opened the window, and jumped out.
Ten minutes later, at the Equipment Research and Development and Engineering Center, Zhang Yunhe descended from the sky, bypassing walls, sentries, and patrols, and went directly from the spaceship landing craft to the rooftop of the research and development center building.
There is an iron gate separating the rooftop from the stairwell, and it is locked from the inside.
Even if it wasn't Zhang Yunhe, any other professional agent would have a way to open this iron door. For example, they could use oxyacetylene to cut the iron door and the lock inside together.
Zhang Yunhe didn't have that thing, so he simply flicked out his wrist blade. The sharp blade easily pierced through the iron door and sliced through the sheet metal and the bolt behind it like cutting tofu. The bolt with the lock was cut off and fell into the stairwell, and the iron door was pushed open.
The hallway was pitch black, but that had no effect on Zhang Yunhe, who wore the Iron-Blooded Mask.
He walked down the stairs without making a sound, but two chaotic footsteps came from downstairs, along with the flickering light of a flashlight.
"Raul, did you hear anything just now?"
No, did you hear something?
"Yes, I heard a sound like metal being cut!"
"Dude, stop joking around. This is a weapons research and design center, not a machine manufacturing plant!"
"I'm telling the truth, my hearing has always been excellent!"
"Alright then, where is the sound coming from?"
"It seems to be from upstairs!"
"Let's go upstairs and take a look!"
The beam of a flashlight swayed back and forth in the stairwell, and footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor.
"Huh, why is the iron gate to the rooftop open? I clearly remember this iron gate always being locked, and the lock is rusty!"
Two portly white security guards turned the corner and shone their flashlights on the stairs leading to the rooftop. They saw the open iron gate and began to suspect something.
Just then, a cracking sound was heard, and the white security guard on the left fell to the ground without warning.
The security guard on the right heard the noise, turned around, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you?"
With a muffled thud, the white security guard, who had just finished speaking, was struck hard in the temple and collapsed limply to the ground.
After waiting a minute and seeing that the two white security guards on the ground had stopped breathing, Zhang Yunhe put their bodies into his backpack, picked up the flashlight that had fallen to the ground, and turned to walk downstairs.
He searched carefully and slowly on each floor, and finally found the research project data room after 20 minutes.
From design documents for military uniforms, helmets, canteens, military boots, belts, and entrenching tools, to design blueprints for grenades, pistols, rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns, you can find them in every drawer of every cabinet here.
In one of the drawers, he saw the design drawings and corresponding test data for the bazooka rocket launcher.
Some designs have been adopted and produced by arms enterprises and fully equipped by various units. Some weapons have been designed, and the test procedures and data are complete, but they have not been adopted.
These designed weapons and equipment may never be adopted, or they may be kept as reserves and one day adopted for production and full deployment to the troops.
In another drawer, Zhang Yunhe saw the design drawings for the Browning heavy machine gun, and not just one. Each drawing was different, with minor modifications. It seemed that the design of this machine gun was not something that was done in one go, but rather that it had undergone multiple revisions.
"Wasn't this heavy machine gun designed by Browning? How come the design drawings and documents are here?"
Zhang Yunhe was puzzled by this.
He stopped thinking about it when he couldn't figure it out, and in one go, he put all the weapon and equipment design blueprints and test data into his backpack.
