Thousands of sparks

Chapter 158 Guarantee
When Dusand learned that Palmer Railway Station had been gassed, he was in a daze.

In the history of human warfare, it is not uncommon to use chemical weapons, biological weapons, and nuclear weapons to kill. At least as mentioned in history class, humans on earth used chlorine gas on a large scale for the first time during World War I.Regardless of the effect, there are indeed ways to use toxic substances to kill the enemy.

However, in Dusand's cognition, neither the Empire nor New Sal has such ability.The reason is also very simple, there is no electricity.

The impact of electricity on human beings is far more than simply "lighting a light bulb".As the core symbol of the second industrial revolution, the universal application of electricity has almost completely changed the pattern of the entire human world.From chemistry to agriculture, from transportation to medicine, every field has made great progress due to the advent and widespread use of electricity.

The large-scale industrial production of chlorine is a typical case of electricity application.

Before the solution of electrolysis of saturated sodium chloride solution appeared, chemists in Newsail or other colonial planets of the Empire needed to put a large amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid and potassium permanganate into the reaction vessel to obtain this yellow gas. Green gas.

Because the feeding port needs to be designed when feeding, and the chlorine gas that rises out is not easy to be collected, so this method can only be used for small-scale preparation of chlorine gas.The preparation of chlorine gas by electrolysis can save the feeding part, as long as the pipeline is designed under the reaction vessel, and the saturated sodium chloride solution can be continuously replenished.

Before mastering the electrolytic preparation method, although the imperial people had long known the toxicity of chlorine gas, they were still unable to use this gas for combat use.

Now, the gas attack at Palmer Station must mean that someone in Newsale has mastered the method of producing chlorine gas on a large scale.

In other words, there was at least one person in Newsale who knew how to use and make direct current.

"Investigate the attack immediately, and make sure that everyone involved in the attack is captured." Dusand gave instructions to Ms. Tamara, who came to report the situation, "Do your best to treat the injured at all costs."

"A letter has been sent from Central Teco." After recording Dusand's order, Ms. Tamara raised her head and said, "The envelope is not the same as the usual style, and it requires delivery to you as soon as possible—— We did not open the envelope after we received it."

In order to facilitate intelligence management and conduct a more comprehensive analysis of intelligence, under Dusand's arrangement, Central Special Section became a special department under Aika.The only people in Aika who have access to the intelligence of Central Teko are Ms. Tamara and George Orwell, who is now in charge of the intelligence sending and receiving department.

Dusande took the letter from Ms. Tamara.After confirming that the watermark and seal on the top were not invalid, he opened the envelope and began to read the contents inside.

The contents of the envelope were not long, but it made Dusand slightly dizzy.

[Finn von Steinberg's envoy arrived in Olin, and the envoy was attacked while trying to meet the Duke of Belford.We have rescued it.The special envoy is currently seriously injured and will not be able to travel in the short term.After he recovers from his injury, will he be sent back to Nusaal? 】

[The Duke of Belford and other immediate family members have been arrested by Olin, and the execution will be carried out in [-] days. Do you want to intervene? 】

[Three people in the Alpha Department of the mining complex have been instigated. We have initially obtained some materials related to the Alpha Project, and the collation of the materials is continuing.The content of the data will be attached after sorting out. Since the level of the instigators is low, please pay attention to the content of the data. 】

The combination of the three pieces of information made Du Sande feel at a loss as to how to react.

How did Finn's envoy get to Orin?This is Dusand's first question. Of course, this question is relatively easy to answer.Today, Nusaal is still locked down and difficult to access by ordinary means.Only the Federation can maintain regular flights for a long time.

As an ally, Fein's special envoy certainly had no way to use the federal channel to enter Newsail.Without knowing what happened to Newsale, Finn's special envoy tried to contact him through the channel of the Duke of Orin Belford's house... It's not hard to imagine.

But that special envoy's bad luck also happened here.Although the Duke of Belford's family had little contact with Duchamp in Newsail, as a rebellious relative, the Duke of Belford was still "highly regarded" by Olin.After careful planning, Olin's heraldry management office captured all members of the entire Duke family in Olin in one fell swoop.

Moreover, he almost killed Finn's special envoy who tried to enter the Duke's mansion and meet with the Duke of Belford.

As for the last Alpha plan, Dusande didn't pay much attention to it.It is difficult to reproduce the Alpha Project in Newsail. Instead of spending time trying to steal the details of the Alpha Project, it is better to concentrate on the separation and mining of uranium ore.

"Instruct Central Teco to save yourself as much as possible." After thinking for a while, Dusand said, "After the special envoy's condition recovers, he can choose to send it to Newsail, but don't worry too much... As for the Duke of Belford... ..."

Du Sande took a deep breath, and then said, "You can consider rescue in a way that won't expose or threaten the Central Teco. If you can't guarantee your own safety, then don't intervene."

Duchamp has been under house arrest for more than two months.During this period of time, the former supreme leader of Nusaal still maintained his work and rest habits in the army.

He gets up at five in the morning every day, and after a cold shower, he starts running around the lakeshore of the estate.After five laps around the lake, take off your shirt, and then run two laps at full strength.

Then I ate a pound of bread, six eggs, and two glasses of milk for breakfast.

Although he was under house arrest, Duchamp was still able to communicate with people at will, read all the newspapers issued throughout Newsail, and even freely entered and left the manor with someone "accompanied".

His current state is not so much house arrest as retirement.

Duchamp read all the newspapers he could get his hands on, but never commented on the situation in Nusaal.Only occasionally, Duchamp would look at the content related to the United Mining in the newspaper, and then show a look of disgust.

He still hated Consolidated Mines.

That afternoon, Duchamp took a steam carriage to the Upper Albin Comprehensive Iron and Steel Works of the mining complex.The remains of the original collapsed blast furnace feed tower have disappeared.A white stone pillar about two jolts high was erected on the spot.The shape of the obelisk is simple and striking, but nothing is written on it.

This is Androni's tombstone.

Next to the white stone pillar, stands a stone pillar with a similar shape half the size of Joel.There were also no subtitles engraved on it, and the two obelisks just stood quietly in place.

Duchamp holds a bouquet of white flowers in his hand.He first squatted down and put the flowers in front of Androni's tombstone. After a little hesitation, he took out a few flowers from the bouquet of white flowers in front of Androni's tombstone, and placed them carefully. In front of the short stone pillar.

"I'm not suitable to be a leader, you know that." There was no one within half a mile around the tombstone, Duchamp faced his wife's tombstone, and suddenly started talking.

"Dusande is leading Newsail forward, and he is going to do this job... I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult." Dusan stroked his wife's tombstone, and then suddenly froze.

On the side of the tombstone, there is a line of small characters.

Dusan squatted down and stared carefully at the tombstone for a long time, then his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mom, I miss you." There are four words in this line, and it looks like someone carved it with a key or something.

It's Dusand's note.

Duchamp continued to touch every inch of the tombstone with his hands, and he found several lines of inscriptions.In addition to some words that children would say to their mothers, Duchamp found a line of small characters at the bottom of the tombstone.

"Building is a hundred times more difficult than destroying. But for your ideals, I will continue to work hard." The trace left by Dusand seems to be much firmer, "The empire and the emperor must pay the price, I promise."
