Chapter 226: A Meal for Lifting the Ban (Part 2)

What Guo Tailai drew was the structural diagram of the famous high-energy explosive octanitrocubane in later generations. It is a cubic carbon structure, and each carbon atom is connected with a nitro group, so it is called octanitrocubane.

Octanitrocubane was synthesized by scientists at the University of Chicago in 1999, and its structure was obtained by X-ray crystallography at the US Naval Research Laboratory. The relative equivalent coefficient of this high-energy explosive is 2.7, which means that the explosive power is 2.7 times that of TNT.

"This structure..." Teacher Zhang directly entered the situation, looking at the structure diagram drawn by flour on the chopping board, lost in thought.

Whether Zhao Xiangbei, Teacher Cao, or Guo Tailai, none of them intended to interrupt Teacher Zhang and let him ponder over there quietly.

Guo Tailai left the chopping board directly, and went to the other side of the kitchen to make toppings in the pot. When he came out, Teacher Zhang was still in deep thought.

Everyone was silent, and there was a sudden snap, which awakened the silence in the room, but it was Mr. Zhang who slapped his thigh suddenly: "It's possible!"

Mr. Zhang was obviously very excited. After careful consideration of the structure diagram of octanitrocubane, he had vaguely thought of a synthesis direction. At least in theory, synthesis is possible, as long as he goes back and takes the time to verify it, maybe he can really synthesize it.

As for the effect of the explosion, just verify it when the time comes? But thinking about it, it should be the same. Nitrogen content is indeed an indicator to measure the ability of explosives. Eight nitro groups are more terrifying than TNT's three nitro groups, right?

According to Mr. Zhang, he wanted to go back now and start making plans and making reports, but he was persuaded by Zhao Xiangbei in the end. He came here, how could he leave without a meal?

"Actually, since the higher the nitrogen content, the better, why didn't Mr. Zhang think about it, what about the total nitrogen salt?" Guo Tailai continued rolling the noodles, and the other three continued to watch Guo Tailai rolling the noodles, during which Guo Tailai muttered another sentence.

While talking, Guo Tailai drew a pentagon, with an N marked on each corner, representing nitrogen: "This structure has some nitrogen and oxygen on the periphery, and the nitrogen content is even greater. The power is more terrifying?"

It sounds like Guo Tailai just deduced it all the way forward according to the level of nitrogen content, but Guo Tailai knew that he was not talking nonsense. In 2017, domestic scientists launched a full-nitrogen anion salt high-energy explosive. The explosion energy of this material reached 3-10 times that of TNT explosives, and the detonation velocity increased from 9,000 meters per second to more than 14,000 meters per second. The explosion pressure ranged from 30 to 40GPa is raised to 90GPa.

Some people may think that 3 times the explosion energy is not a big improvement, but in fact, the explosion energy of TNT explosive is only about 4 times higher than that of black powder, which is already a "revolution".

Anyway, I have to say it, Guo Tailai simply said everything he knows about high-energy explosives at once. I am not a chemist, and I can't remember all kinds of synthetic formulas or even molecular formulas. Wouldn't it be better to tell this direction and let Teacher Zhang and other experts explore it? It's not something that can be done in a year or so, it's enough for them to be busy.

Zhao Xiangbei and Teacher Cao were very depressed, and while they were talking, Teacher Zhang suddenly fell into deep thought, and they couldn't disturb them, so that they couldn't even talk properly.

He intends to blame Guo Tailai, but these are obviously what Zhao Xiangbei wants Guo Tailai to say the most, so can he blame Fatty for this? No way, I could only quietly open the bottle of old Fenjiu, and drink quietly with some vegetables and side dishes that Guo Tailai had prepared before.

Perhaps it was the smell of wine that aroused Mr. Zhang's greediness. This time, he didn't meditate for too long, and he soon came to his senses. But after waking up, he didn't go straight to the wine bureau, but asked Guo Tailai: "How do you think about these things? Have you done research on this?"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm from the Department of Precision Instruments. I think it's because of the nitrogen content!" Guo Tailai replied innocently: "Isn't that CL-20 also the hexanitro group around the nitrogen structure? Let’s rely on nitrogen.”

"You really don't understand?" Teacher Zhang couldn't believe his ears. A person who had never studied organic chemistry in depth could calculate a reliable compound structure diagram just because of the nitrogen content, and a complete The direction of nitrogen salt, this guy is simply a monster!

No wonder Zhao Xiangbei kept patting his chest and promised that as long as this "dead fat man" is really willing to think about it, he will definitely discover some research directions that he hadn't noticed before, and it really is!

"I really don't understand!" Guo Tailai replied honestly. It's not that he's being modest. He's really not interested in this aspect. It's good to know the name.

After receiving a glass of old Fen wine from Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang also took a sip, and the hot sip flowed down his stomach. He was really happy: "Well, you can say one more thing, as long as you say one more thing, how about I accept you as a graduate student? Zhibo, as long as you If you have enough credits, I will allow you to graduate early!"

"Pull it down!" Before Guo Tailai could speak, Mr. Cao had already rebuffed at the side: "He is not a chemistry undergraduate, so why do you follow your blog? Xiao Guo, if you really want to play with the extreme performance of the car engine, you have to come here." Our thermal energy department, you follow me, and you are also a direct blogger, how about it?"

Zhao Xiangbei wanted to help his forehead. Two university scholars, doctoral supervisors, what are they doing? What a shame!

"I want to learn something else, so I even rejected the doctoral students of academician Hou in the department." Guo Tailai replied honestly to the two teachers again: "Thank you two teachers for their attention, but I can't accept it yet."

The two expressed their regrets again and again. It happened that Guo Tailai's noodles were also rolled out, and they were quickly cut into strips and put into the pot. Just the act of cutting noodles made the three of them look in admiration.

When the big bowl of noodles was served, Guo Tailai also graciously prepared garlic cloves and aged vinegar from Jin Province. Speaking of which, the noodles made by the fat man are indeed the flavor of Jin Province. Guo Tailai and Mr. Cao ate with great gulps, but Zhao Xiangbei and Mr. Zhang ate very politely, almost without making a sound.

"Shu Tan!" Teacher Cao put down the bowl, feeling very happy: "The craftsmanship of the little fellow is really good."

"Ms. Cao, just call me if you want to eat." Guo Tailai was also straightforward: "I'll do it well, just come and eat!"

"Then it's settled!" Mr. Cao was very happy to have a place to eat hometown noodles, and also very happy to have a little fellow like Guo Tailai.

"That's right!" Guo Tailai said to Zhao Xiangbei after thinking about it: "The previous statement about nitrogen content is actually based on chemistry. If Uncle Zhao wants to take a different path, he can consider trying metal hydrogen. The thing is said to explode more powerfully, at least 35 times that of TNT, which is terrifying. But it’s just too laborious to research, so think about it when you have money!”
