Chapter 5 Chapter Four

It's almost late autumn, the sun sets early, and it's almost eight o'clock now, and the sky is completely dark. The mother-in-law cried and passed out several times today, and now she has fallen asleep upstairs. Gan Jianing didn't eat all day, but she didn't feel hungry. She suppressed her grief and cooked for her son. After feeding, she was coaxed back to sleep. After settling down her son, Gan Jianing sat on the head of the bed and reached out to touch his son's face. She felt bitter, she didn't know that this was the last few times she could look at her son like this.

Ever since she made that difficult decision, she knew that her days were numbered. After sitting for a long time, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She stood up, moved out the stool, came to the wardrobe, stood up, and pulled out a box from the top with great effort. She put the box on the table softly, and slowly opened it, revealing a box of laboratory equipment. Since she got married, she hasn't done any research work in chemical engineering, but as the "queen of chemical engineering" in the school, she is full of inseparable feelings for chemistry. Even after leaving her job and living the life of a husband and a child, she still brings these devices as souvenirs.

She used to think that these things would become dusty collections, as memories of her hard-working, dedicated, fanatical, but gone youth, until her son went to junior high school and high school in the future, if she still remembered The previous knowledge can be taken out and used as chemistry tutoring for my son. Unexpectedly, these "old friends" will be used now. She stretched out her slender hand and took out a large enamel cup without a handle. Feeling the temperature on the cup, she recalled the stories of her student days. Inside the enamel cup, there were several beakers of different sizes. She carefully took them out one by one and placed them on the table.There are also alcohol lamps, test tubes, flasks, dry pans, distillation tubes, thermometers, balances, measuring cylinders, iron stands, etc...

Seeing this, she really smiled. Haven't seen these things in too long. Well, what are these for? Black gunpowder is the most traditional gunpowder in ancient China. The ingredients are very simple, potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. These few things are easy to get.However, the power of black powder is too small, and the explosion range is also small. Of course, if you want to be powerful, you can just make a big explosive bag, but it is too easy to be seen. Think for a while, or use TNT. The full name of TNT is trinitrotoluene, which is the most powerful and stable of all basic explosives.Moreover, her graduation thesis in the past was about the improvement of the production process of trinitrotoluene.

The steps of making explosives flowed through her mind like a movie. The production of TNT requires toluene and ultra-high concentration fuming nitric acid, as well as concentrated sulfuric acid.For toluene, it is easy to extract from other petrochemical things.Fuming nitric acid is a prohibited product. There is only concentrated nitric acid with a concentration of 65% on the market, and only when the concentration reaches 86% or more can it be called fuming nitric acid.Industrial production is very simple, with professional machinery and equipment.She only has these simple devices, and it's not impossible to extract them, it's just a little troublesome.

No matter how troublesome it is, it needs to be done. Most of the compounds were produced by chemists in the laboratory in the past, and they only used simple instruments such as alcohol lamps and beakers. Therefore, as long as they want to make them, they can be made with more steps and less trouble. Well, these days I secretly go to buy materials and make a TNT. She had worked in the chemical industry for several years and knew of several places where she could buy high school chemistry experiments. As long as the fist is that big, it is enough to kill them all. Of course, maybe including myself.She smiled wryly.

She doesn't know electrical circuits, and she doesn't have the ability to make remote-controlled bombs. Her only chance may cost her her life. At this moment, someone outside carefully knocked on the door three times, and then a man's voice came: "Is Gan Jianing there?" "Who?" she asked cautiously. "Uh...it's me, Xu Zeng." Gan Jianing quickly put the things on the table back into the box, flipped the lid on, covered it with a cloth, then went out, closed the door, turned on the light, and opened the door. Xu Zeng bought some fruit, walked in and put it on the table, looked at Gan Jianing a few times, feeling a little at a loss.

"It's you, sit down." Gan Jianing pulled the stool for him. Xu Zeng rubbed his forehead, hesitated for a long time, and said, "I heard that something happened to your house, so...so come and have a look." Gan Jianing looked at him gratefully, and said sincerely, "I really thank you." "Well... You and I have known each other for many years, and I can't say other polite words. I just hope you can hold on." "Well, I will." Gan Jianing's eyes drifted, and his tone was a little strange.Xu Zeng didn't pay attention to all this, he just thought she was too sad.

Xu Zeng thought for a while and said, "Do you have any plans for... about this matter? How are you going to deal with it?" Gan Jianing sneered: "What else can I do? Everyone is dead, and I still have my mother-in-law and children. What can I do?" Xu Zeng nodded: "Well, that's true. First of all, you must take care of yourself. What are your requirements? Although I am not familiar with the town, I can ask someone to help. What do you want in the town? I will find a way to help you." You fought for it." Gan Jianing shook his head slowly, declined and said, "No need, I understand your kindness. All we can do now is ask for more money, and I think the town will always agree."

Xu Zeng pursed his lips, looked at his watch, and said, "Well, no matter now or in the future, if you have any difficulties, just ask me, and I will definitely help. It's getting late, you...you are tired today, take a rest early .” Gan Jianing nodded weakly: "Then I won't give it away." "Okay." After finishing speaking, Xu Zeng turned and walked out of He's house. Sitting in the car, he vaguely felt something was wrong. In his impression, Gan Jianing had always been a weak little woman, how could she become so strong now? That's right, the pillar of the family is dead. Her father-in-law passed away when He Jiansheng was a child, and her mother-in-law is nearly 60 years old, and she can't bear the pain of losing a son. The son is young, and now she is the only pillar of the family.If she is not strong, who will this family depend on?

She said she would ask the town for more money, but her family's financial foundation is good.Although the man is gone, the family used to make auto parts, had a small factory, saved a lot of money, had a house and a car, and bought several sets in the county and urban areas.Now that the man just died, why would he think about losing money in the first place? He thought about it again, it's normal for Gan Jianing to have such thoughts, she is a woman, powerless, and has a child to take care of, so in the days to come, don't she just hope for more money. Well, as long as she survives this hurdle, after this stage, he will find a way to make a match, hoping that his old friend and Gan Jianing will finally have a lover and get married. Thinking of this, he felt relieved and drove away.
