The periphery of the Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Peaks were hills and basins in the Yangui Mountain Range. The largest basin covered an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers. The basin was surrounded by a circle of majestic and lofty mountains. The shortest mountain was more than 1,000 meters high. Looking down from the sky, the mountains around the basin were like the petals of a blooming flower, while the Mysterious Heaven Eighteen Peaks were like a unique cluster of stamens in the flower, looking very special.
After a few months, a spacious and tidy industrial park covering over 10 square miles was established at the foot of Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks near the town where the mountain gate of Iron-Dragon Sect was located.
Outside the industrial park was a general airport for airships and airplanes. The railway connecting Tongzhou Province, Yanzhou Province and Youzhou Province had already been connected at the foot of Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks.
Zhang Tie directly led Commander Cheng and Gao Tianqi to a factory in the industrial park.
The director of the factory was a talented manager among the dare-to-die fighters that Zhang Tie had recruited. Of course, he knew Zhang Tie. After Zhang Tie expressed his intention, the director brought three sets of clothes to Zhang Tie, Commander Cheng and Gao Tianqi. After that, Zhang Tie led the two people into the workshop of the factory.
"All the workshops of Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs are explosion-proof. Nothing that could cause sparks due to friction is allowed in the workshop. According to the production system of the factory, you have to put on special clothes before entering it." Zhang Tie explained to Commander Cheng.
Neither of them objected to the dress requirement. After all, each industry had its own rules and requirements. These rules and requirements were all based on the status and power of the visitors. Even if Emperor Xuanyuan was here, if Emperor Xuanyuan disobeyed the requirements and entered the explosion-proof workshop, Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't stop the workshop from exploding or exploding.
In the following half an hour, Zhang Tie showed the entire production process of Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs with Commander Cheng.
The main raw material of Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs was Fiery-Oil. After mixing Fiery-Oil with refined carbon, thermite reactant and palmitic acid in a certain proportion, Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs were made one after another.
Refined carbon was a very common industrial raw material, which could be obtained by high-temperature fractionation of coal.
The main raw material of thermite reactant is thermite reactant, including aluminum powder, alum powder, and calcined limonite powder in a certain proportion.
The third ingredient, palmitic acid, could be obtained from palm trees. If there were no palm trees, it could also be obtained from lard, butter, or other animal fats through saponification.
As the main ingredient of Fiery Oil Incendiary Bomb, Fiery Oil could be obtained from the fermentation of straw.
After knowing that Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs could be made by mixing these common materials, Commander Cheng's eye light turned more strange.
"If so, what's the cost of producing a 500 kg Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bomb?" Commander Cheng asked Zhang Tie.
"Less than 10 gold coins!" Zhang Tie told the truth.
"Production isn't limited either?"
"Yes, as long as the basic raw materials are in short supply and the production capacity of the factories can keep up with the demand, the output of Fiery Oil Incendiary Bombs will not be limited!"
"Then do you know how much a 500 kilogram white phosphorous gel incendiary bomb costs, and how many raw materials are needed to make it?"
"White phosphorous gel incendiary bomb really costs a lot of money. Additionally, it needs over 40 raw materials, some of which are rare. Therefore, the output of white phosphorous gel incendiary bomb could barely be produced on a large scale!"
"I really don't know how your brain works. How could you produce such a thing?" Commander Cheng let out a deep sigh.
"I just mentioned that it's my subordinates who produced Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs. Actually, as long as there's Fiery-Oil, many people could figure out the formula and raw materials!"
After visiting the workshop of Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs, Commander Cheng entered another workshop. At the sight of the products in the workshop, Commander Cheng's eyes shone.
"They're Incendiary Spears and Incendiary Grenades …" Zhang Tie answered.
They were not heavy Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs which could be dropped by airships or airplanes, but individual weapons. They were two miniaturized versions of Fiery-Oil Incendiary Bombs. One of them was as large as a common bottle with a wooden handle, which was very similar to the hand grenades used by humans before the Catastrophe. The other one was longer than 1 m and could be thrown by people. The former weighed about 1 kg while the latter weighed less than 3 kg.
Commander Cheng couldn't stand comparing the two weapons with each other as he instantly sensed the advantages of the two weapons. On the battlefield, the two weapons were very easy to carry. They could definitely be used as individual weapons; especially the latter one. If a spear throwing troop could be formed and used together, the gap between human corps and demon corps could be further narrowed.
As long as a LV 9 demon fighter was hit by a LV 3 or LV 4 human fighter's Incendiary Spear, the demon fighter would definitely be killed. By contrast, Incendiary Grenades were also a great deterrent in a short distance.
"Are you going to equip all of them to Fire-Dragon Corps?"
"Yes, I will equip them in small batches at first so that the troops could explore their usage and make some improvements. When the corps takes shape, I will equip them on a large scale. Incendiary Grenades will become the standard equipment of fighters in Fire-Dragon Corps. Each fighter should carry at least 3 Incendiary Grenades. In Fire-Dragon Corps, according to my idea, Incendiary Spear fighters will become an independent unit. There should be at least 3 Incendiary Spear fighters in a squad, 1 squad of Incendiary Spear fighters in a platoon, 1 platoon of Incendiary Spear fighters in a company, and so on. Incendiary Spear fighters will account for at least 1/3 of the frontline forces on the ground …"
"In this way, the proportion of Incendiary Spear fighters will be too high. Why are you so confident?"
After being silent for a short while, Zhang Tie lowered his voice, "In Taixia Country, I'm not the most powerful knight; however, I'm the most experienced fighter in fighting demon fighters on the battlefields. I'm crystal clear about the combat modes, abilities and features of demon fighters. Commander Cheng, perhaps you've not experienced the helpless feeling of common human fighters facing the corps of LV 9 demon fighters. When in Selnes Theater of Operations, due to the sharp difference in battle strength between two parties, many brave human fighters couldn't even find a LV 9 demon fighter to die with them. Even the elite troops and corps of millions of subcontinents couldn't stop a corps of 100,000 demon fighters …"
"Are fighters afraid of death or are we two fewer eggs than demons? No, because on the real battlefields, even the most cowardly ones could break out great courage. There are many fighters who are not afraid of death; especially in a desperate situation. However, what makes fighters desperate and fearful most on the battlefields is that they find that their death is worthless and meaningless. By then, they would collapse and couldn't stand it anymore. As a result, they would be slaughtered by others. On the battlefields, as long as 10 people could kill a demon, such a sacrifice would not be meaningless …"
