Technological Supremacy Chapter 279: The tradition still exists, and the fireworks are not cold!

When they were poor in the past, people looked forward to eating something delicious and buying new clothes for the New Year.

Now that life is getting better and better, the food eaten during the New Year is no longer different from the usual, let alone new clothes, as long as there is a need, you can buy them at any time.

So gradually there was a voice saying that the Chinese New Year is a boring thing, and if you have to be forced to marry by the elders after returning home, it would be better not to celebrate the New Year.

Regarding this, Luo Jia disagreed.

The Spring Festival in China is getting weaker and weaker. The reason is because of the loss of tradition.

Luo Jia is very envious of the Chaoshan area in the south. The traditional culture is well maintained. During the Spring Festival, there are always many traditional activities. missing part.

Whenever Luo Jia saw the scene of seeing off the dead body of a hero, the coffin covered with the national flag, and his comrades in military uniforms firing guns into the sky, he always had the urge to burst into tears.

This is the sense of ritual.

The tradition has not been inherited, there is more than laughter and a lack of sense of ceremony, and many cities have banned fireworks, which eventually leads to the current taste of the new year getting weaker and weaker.

Contradictory to this is that when people are not full of food, they naturally do not need to be spiritually rich, but it is precisely that the Chinese people are already able to eat enough. The rise of Hanfu and ancient styles is the folks looking for themselves, The performance of self-return to spiritual origin.

People are keen to celebrate Western festivals such as Christmas and Valentine's Day, but also because they cannot find the spiritual sustenance they need from traditional festivals, so they have to turn to the West for help.

Luo Jia, who is used to thinking, can't relax his head even during the Spring Festival holiday, so he called Zhang Dongning on the first day of the Lunar New Year. A kind of fireworks that will not pollute the environment.

This kind of fireworks must be amazing, brilliant, and have a dreamy effect of bursting the entire night sky.

At the same time, it must be very environmentally friendly, very cheap, must not cause fire hazards, easy to produce, and convenient to use in large quantities.

Zhang Dongning got a headache when he heard that, he sighed and said, "Mr. Luo, we have no problem with organic chemistry. The Department of Chemistry is now a large department with nearly a thousand researchers. The key is that your request is really abnormal. "

"It needs to be brilliant, cheap, environmentally friendly and free from fire hazards. If we want to achieve such an effect, our chemistry department should not be able to do it, right? You should ask the electrical department or optical department to do it."

Luo Jia shook his head, "Optical fireworks have long been proven to be liars, and fireworks can't explode. What kind of fireworks are they?"

"This matter can only be done by your chemistry department. I have already thought about it, and I will use hexamethylenetetramine! Wait a moment, I will send you an email."

Zhang Dongning was taken aback for a moment. Hexamethylenetetramine, also known as urotamine, is an organic chemical preparation that is usually used to eliminate body odor.

The vast majority of Chinese people do not have body odor, so they are not very familiar with this thing.

But in other parts of the world, deodorants containing urothene are everywhere. There is no way, who made the foreigner's evolution chain go wrong, and the body smell is serious.

In addition to removing body odor, hexamethylenetetramine can also be used as a smokeless fuel, which has a very strong combustion effect but does not produce smoke.

Zhang Dongning was thinking, when suddenly his phone vibrated slightly, and Luo Jia's email had already been delivered.

When Zhang Dongning opened it, he saw that it was a very complicated chemical formula with synthesis steps.

(CH2)6N4+10HNO3→(CH2-N-NO2)3+3CH2(ONO2)2+NH4NO3+3H2O....

This is very scary. At first glance, it looks like a synthetic trimethylene trinitramine, a very unstable deflagration substance, commonly known as Cyclone Dynamite, or RDX for short.

However, if you look carefully, it is not.

Luo Jia cleverly designed a model in which hexamethylenetetramine was added in a sub-zero state, which successfully prevented the exothermic reaction. Without the exothermic reaction, nitric acid cannot be decomposed, and N2O.NO2 and the like cannot be produced. Nitrogen oxides.

In short, through a series of complicated chemical reactions and operations, a new type of burning substance that is completely smokeless but very explosive will be obtained.

Its stability is predictable. The only disadvantage is that it is more complicated to operate. Most operations must be carried out at minus ten degrees to control the exothermic reaction.

Like most combustion chemical synthesis, the process of producing this thing is risky, but the risk is controllable. Once the synthesis is completed, the final product will be very safe.

Zhang Dongning finally understood Luo Jia's design. He felt the hairs on his back standing on end. He only knew that Luo Jia knew chemistry, but he didn't know that he knew so much and so deeply!

Are smokeless fireworks good designs?

Of course it’s not easy to design. If it was easy to do, the chemical industry would have done it a long time ago. After all, China has a tradition of setting off fireworks, and the ancient tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years has disappeared. pimple.

Picking up the phone, Zhang Dongning called Luo Jia again, "Mr. Luo, this thing can be done! If there is no accident, the effect will be very explosive, but there are also three shortcomings."

"Tell me." Luo Jia said on the other end of the phone.

"First, there is the risk of synthesis."

"This is easy to solve. Set up an unmanned factory in a remote area, and use Xingchen's intelligent robotic arm to replace manual work. The robotic arm has high precision and is very stable."

Zhang Dongning was stunned for a moment. He almost forgot that Xingchen Technology also has an almost invisible subsidiary, Xingchen Smart.

Xingchen Intelligent does not manufacture anything, but specializes in the manufacture of robotic arms, and the products are only used by the parent company.

The reason why Star Technology's production line is so efficient and has such a large output is that they have the best mechanical arms in the world.

As for why Xingchen Intelligent's robotic arm is not delivered, it is because Luo Jia is worried that once this thing is sold in large quantities, the workers will lose their jobs. Huaxia has not yet developed to the point where it can fully replace people with machines.

Zhang Dongning paused, "Secondly, it is still burning, and there is still a risk of fire."

Luo Jia nodded, "That's true, so I plan to only manufacture large-scale fireworks bombs, which will be set off by the public sector ~IndoMTL.com~ Anyway, the fireworks are for viewing, as long as everyone can see them, bring the atmosphere Just get up."

Zhang Dongning also said, "The third is the problem of dyeing agents. Fireworks cannot have only one color. New chemical compounds can only solve the problem of burning, but cannot solve the problem of the color of fireworks. In addition, we have no knowledge about the design of fireworks. experience."

Luo Jia said, "There is no problem with this. The dyeing agent and deflagration effect are the patents of the fireworks factory. We directly purchased the largest factory in China and bought all their talents and patents."

After listening to Luo Jia's words, Zhang Dongning said with a smile, "If that's the case, then there's no problem, but I don't quite understand why you should spend all your energy on this small project that obviously won't be profitable?"

Luo Jia said with a smile, "How can you say that Chinese tradition is a small project?"

"When I was young, every Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, fireworks would be set off in the city and in various courtyards. With a little money from my mother, I bought some small fireworks and got together with my friends. I can be happy all day long, and I still miss that kind of atmosphere.”

"With the development of society, there are fewer and fewer traditions, and it is a little bit that can be left."

"It is said that fireworks are easy to be cold, but I hope it will never be cold."

From Luo Jia's words, Zhang Dongning felt a kind of power. At the same time, he thought of Luo Jia's speech. The real revival is not only the revival of economy and technology, but also the strong return of culture and tradition, which will determine the world!

The fireworks that have been burning in China for thousands of years should not be left cold in our generation, but should bloom in a more brilliant manner in our generation!

Thinking of this, Zhang Dongning nodded slightly and said, "Leave it to me, the Chemistry Department promises to complete the task!"
