doomsday survival

Chapter 276 Getting Ready
The goose-feather-like snow was flying profusely, and it flew for a whole day before stopping, covering the entire Changbai Mountains in snow.People who got up in the morning found that the snow had stopped, and they all went out of the house to clear the snow in front of the door, and then gathered together to clear the snow on all roads to the side, so as not to delay everyone's walking.

Although everyone in the tribe was working hard, Shi Jian, who was the head of the tribe, and the two oldest elders did not appear, and no one knew where they went.Only the guard said vaguely that the three of them went down the mountain mysteriously with a small bag early in the morning, and they didn't know what they were going for.

Xia Qianhe and Feng Kuang were standing on the edge of a cliff at this time, watching Shi Jian install homemade explosives under a huge falling rock.This is a common piece of gravel, more than one cubic meter in size, with a crack on it, and Shi Jian put homemade explosives into the crack.

The weather was extremely cold just after the snow fell. Shi Jian did not even wear gloves for the convenience of operation. His hands were quickly turned red by the cold wind, but he finally put the explosives that had been individually packaged into it.

Shi Jian took out another long black stick, which was homemade incense. He wrapped a thick thread tightly around the incense, adjusted the distance between the end of the thread and the incense head, fixed it and pierced it. The top dynamite pack is inserted on top, and then the incense is ignited.

"Go!" Shi Jian yelled to Xia Qianhe and Feng Kuang immediately after lighting the incense head, and then quickly ran back. The three of them ran together to the woods more than 100 meters away, hiding in a big tree. Behind the tree, waiting quietly.

What Shi Jian just ignited was their self-made fuse.In the old days, explosives were detonated by detonators, which were much safer and more reliable.Although Fengkuang knew how to make mercury fulminate, it was not possible to make a detonator under the current conditions. Instead of using the explosive and unsafe mercury fulminate, it is better to use the most primitive fuse to detonate the explosives.

Mix charcoal powder and starch-based plant glue powder together, add water and stir evenly, and then make a long thin strip, which is made into incense after drying.The thick line is made of paper, and a layer of KNO3 (molecular formula) is glued on the outside, which is very flammable, and when KNO3 burns, it will release oxygen to ensure that the combustion will not be interrupted.

The combination of the two becomes a simple delay fuse.By adjusting the distance between the lit incense head and the fuse, the time for the explosive to be detonated can be controlled, which is enough for Shi Jian and the others to evacuate to a safe place.

Because it was the first time to experiment with explosives, the three of them felt a little nervous, and even Feng Kuang, who had vowed to be frank, didn't have much confidence in his heart, and there was a trace of nervousness and excitement in his eyes.

After about 5 minutes, there was still no news, Xia Qianhe couldn't help becoming a little anxious, he first asked Shi Jian: "Shi Jian, did you make the distance between the thread end and the incense head too far? "

Shi Jian resolutely said: "No, there is already a scale on the incense. I put it there for 5 minutes, and tied it with a thin thread."

"Is that because the explosives you made don't work, old brother..." Xia Qianhe asked Feng Kuang again.

"Boom——" A huge explosion sounded instead of Feng Kuang's answer to Xia Qianhe, and then there was a "crackling" sound of gravel falling to the ground.

Xia Qianhe's mouth was still in the shape of "ah", until there was no more sound coming from outside the woods, then it slowly closed.He raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Is the explosion over?"

Shi Jian smiled slightly and said: "Of course it's over, let's go out and have a look." He said and walked out of the forest first.

The three of them came to the outside of the forest and looked at the scene of the explosion again. They were all stunned by the scene. The stone had been torn apart and could no longer look like it used to. The surrounding snow was swept away by the shock wave. The blasted gravel even flew five to sixty meters away, smashing into the snow, leaving holes one after another.

"It seems that the effect is good." Shi Jian squeezed his chin and said with satisfaction.

Feng Kuang was not so optimistic, and said: "It took a catty of explosives to achieve this effect. It seems that we have prepared less explosives."

"Brother Feng, didn't you say that this is that black gold, which is very powerful, and now it has a few hundred catties at least, isn't it enough?" Xia Qianhe asked puzzled.

Feng Kuang said: "It seems that it is still not enough. After all, the old area is too big. We have to transport some nitric acid. Formaldehyde, ammonium nitrate and hydrochloric acid for ammonia production are basically enough. Anyway, formaldehyde and Ammonia gas can be recycled, so it doesn’t need much, and if you go again, you will use fuming nitric acid.”

Shi Jian nodded and said: "Okay, I will organize people to transport it in a while. I also know fuming nitric acid, so you don't want to go."

Feng Kuang nodded in response, and Xia Qianhe said from the side: "It's snowing, it's definitely not convenient for a car to go, let Zhang Dongjie make more sleds, anyway, it's not something to worry about."

"Of course, it's okay to be anxious these few days, it's better to be fully prepared." Shi Jian replied.

When I returned to the village, I saw a lot of people anxiously standing in front of the gate. As soon as I saw them, I hurriedly asked what the noise was just now. When they learned that it was the sound of explosives exploding, they were all startled. They all said, "Hey, I thought it was thunder just now."

Shi Jian chatted briefly with these people, and immediately ran to Zhang Dongjie's house, asking him to make some sleds as soon as possible. Zhang Dongjie readily agreed, put the work in hand aside, and started to do it immediately.

After the sled was ready, Shi Jian called up the manpower again, and headed for the industrial park again. Before leaving, he did not forget to explain other tasks, such as arranging personnel to go hunting, repair houses and other matters.

The red deer, which were already easy to tame, have been tamed a lot now, and can basically understand some simple passwords.With no wheels hindered by the fallen leaves, the sleds were faster than the cars, and in two days they reached the industrial park.

Shi Jian took everyone to the warehouse containing the fuming nitric acid, and told them to load the vehicles carefully, emphasizing that some fur textiles were used as shock absorbers between the nitric acid bottles, and he himself went to the intersection of the industrial park to check Take a look at the old district.

In fact, he didn't need to look at it anymore. Before he reached the intersection, Shi Jian found some messy footprints in the snow. The further he walked, the more footprints became. The white snow and black soil were mixed together and frozen into the shapes of footprints.

"The zombies are here!" Shi Jian's heart shuddered, and he immediately bent down to take a closer look.

Obviously, not long after it snowed, the zombies came out of the old district. For some unknown reason, they actually came here.In addition, this was the first snow, and it was still raining and snowing at the beginning, and the weather was not so cold, so it was trampled into mud.After everything turned into snow, the weather turned colder again, but the zombies hadn't dispersed yet, and it finally turned into what it is now.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, Shi Jian couldn't tell how many zombies there were.Shi Jian picked up the binoculars and looked at the old district, and saw that the road was like a black belt, connecting the two places together.The old district doesn't look too real in the telescope, but one thing can be guaranteed, that is, there are no other old districts nearby connected to it.

"It must be blown up as soon as possible, otherwise, this industrial area will not be usable." Shi Jian said silently in his heart.

When he returned, the sled had already been loaded, and Shi Jian led the crowd away immediately.If it was before, he would have thought of resting for a night before leaving, but after seeing the traces of zombies, he would never let everyone rest here before clearing the old area.

After returning to the cottage, Shi Jian told Feng Kuang about the situation.Feng Kuang had the same idea as him, knowing that all the zombies there must be wiped out as soon as possible, so he immediately started another round of production.

Together with Feng Kuang, Shi Jian stayed in the small room in the back mountain almost all day, and almost ignored other matters of the tribe, leaving them all to the great elder Xia Qianhe.

Xia Qianhe knew that they were very busy now, so he didn't bother Shi Jian, and arranged tasks such as hunting, house repairs, and threshing and crushing of corn with the other elders in an orderly manner.

And the work of making incense has also been moved from the back mountain to the front mountain. The technical content of this thing is very low. You just need to learn it briefly and follow the proportions and steps. Li Yeyue took some women to take over the job past.Shi Jian didn't have any objections, but felt that women were careful and suitable for this job, so he handed over the work of the rubbing rope to him.

As soon as these non-dangerous and non-technical tasks are handed over, Shi Jian, Feng Kuang, and Feng Chen will each be in charge of a share. Tropin was nitrated to obtain RDX explosives, while Feng Chen was responsible for the production of KNO3, and then glued KNO3 on the twisted paper ropes to make fuses.

After a week of this, the three of Shi Jian finally stopped their work. They had produced nearly two tons of explosives, wrapped them in paper, and piled them up in an empty house. Allow access there to prevent accidents.

The first thing the three of them did after they came out of the explosives factory was not to go home to rest, but to run to the top of the mountain immediately, each of them lit a bag of cigarettes, and smoked desperately.Fireworks are absolutely prohibited in the explosives factory. Even the lighting is made by Zhang Dongjie who made a windmill, drives the DC motor, and then lights up the LED desk lamp. This is also the first wind turbine in the tribe.

Shi Jian took a deep puff of cigarette, and said to Feng Kuang: "Tomorrow, I will go, this time I must blow up the place to the ground, even if the zombies cannot be killed, there must be no place for them to hide!"
