Chapter 594: Thermite cutting
The seaplane stayed on the water about three hundred meters away from the southern end of the Mauge Archipelago Lagoon. George set up the C4 and after more than 20 minutes to float to the surface, Yang Jing and the others took two motorcycles. The boat came to the seaplane.
Here, George, who changed his diving suit, personally pressed the detonation button. The next moment...
Nothing happened...
The depth of 50 meters underwater is not the kind of deep-water bomb that explodes so that people on the water can feel it. This kind of small equivalent of C4 is detonated, and people on the water don’t feel any vibration at all. sound.
Yang Jing and his party waited on the water for more than half an hour. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the volcano, they returned to the lagoon again. Yang Jing put on a compressed air bottle and mask, and after putting on fins, he went straight down. Dived down.
Only he can float up and down quickly at this depth, and Chris and the others can't be the elite. In order not to waste time, Yang Jing had to act as an old scalper again and personally go into battle.
A hole about two meters in diameter has appeared at the location of the underwater blasting. The rock layer about one meter thick was stripped off by C4, exposing the steel plate inside.
As Yang Jing guessed, the entrance of this secret base is one or two steel gates, but in order to conceal the existence of the entrance, a layer of rock about one meter thick is attached to the outside of this gate, just because When the gate is opened and closed, it moves horizontally or up and down, so the attached rock also needs to be retracted into the surrounding rock formation along with the gate, so this rock wall can be so flat.
Now the cover-up rock wall in the lower left corner of the gate has been completely blown up, and the steel gate inside is immediately exposed.
Yang Jing took out the hammer and struck the exposed steel plate of the door. Judging from the sound, the thickness of the door was more than ten centimeters.
Such a thick gate, and it is very likely to be made of special steel, only then can it be immersed in sea water for more than 70 years without being completely corroded by sea water.
Although Yang Jing is best at dealing with this kind of gate, there is no storage space in this world that can hold Yang Jing's gate, but Yang Jing can't do that. There are still a few bodyguards behind him.
The door opened with storage space is absolutely unique. Anyone who sees that kind of trace will know that there is a huge nuisance in it. Yang Jing doesn’t want to reveal the secrets of the space, so she can only take the most primitive way. Way to break this piece of steel plate.
Yang Jing went up and talked about the situation again. Several bodyguards began to discuss how to break the gate, which was at least ten centimeters thick.
For this kind of thing, Yang Jing is a complete layman. He can only provide information about the door. As for how to break the door, he can only listen to Chris and the others discussing there.
John Bruno said: "It's better to use an oxygen-hydrogen cutting gun to cut. This method has the best vapor pressure of combustible gas, the flame is easy to maintain, and the equipment is portable, and the underwater cutting depth can also be as deep as 100 meters. This time we need to cut only more than 50 meters in depth. It is completely possible to break this door in this way, and we also brought this kind of equipment this time."
Chris shook his head and said, "John, although your method is good, the cutting speed of this method is too slow."
Kevin Martin also said: "Yes, we can't stay underwater for too long. We need to break this door as soon as possible. The most important thing is that this oxygen-hydrogen cutting method deals with normal ferrite. The material is okay, but it seems to be a bit insufficient to deal with the door made of this special steel. And don’t forget what BOSS just said, the thickness of this door is at least 100mm or more, and the oxygen-hydrogen cutting method can’t handle it. Thick special steel plate."
John shook his head and said, “I think it’s impossible to cut such a thick special steel plate even with arc-oxygen/steel cutting strips.”
Several people nodded silently, while George Bruce on the side looked at everyone with a smile, and then said to Yang Jing: "Boss, I have two ways to break the steel plate of this steel door."
When several people heard this, they all looked at George. They didn't think of a few ways, this guy actually has a way, and he said it was just two.
George shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it is not so laborious to break the steel plate of this steel door. I wonder if you have heard of the underwater forming charge explosion method? To put it bluntly, it is to use the directional operation. The power of the medicine directly blasts the steel plate. In this way, pipes, cables, I-beams, cut holes, special steels, etc. can be cut, and the cutting thickness can exceed 100 mm. However, this method is more violent and easy to cut near the cutting point. The components cause damage."
Yang Jin nodded thoughtfully and said: "It doesn't matter if the nearby components are destroyed. Anyway, I don't know how long the base will not be activated. If it explodes, it will explode. It's just that we now have this kind of ready-made equipment. ?"
George spread his hands and shook his head, "BOSS, we did not prepare this kind of equipment. But this kind of equipment is very simple and can be easily purchased on the market, the big deal is that we will fly back to Saipan to buy it and then break it."
Yang Jing shook his head slightly without making a sound. Chris said, "George, didn't you say that there are two ways? What is the other way?"
"That method is more violent than this method. It uses a special thermite to forcibly melt down this steel plate."
When everyone heard this, UU reading www.uukanshu.com couldn't help taking a breath. They were all retired soldiers and naturally understood the power of this thermite.
The thermite is a mixture of aluminum powder and refractory metal oxides. It is ignited with an igniter during use, and the reaction proceeds violently to obtain alumina and elemental iron and release a lot of heat. Its temperature can reach a terrifying 2500 degrees Celsius, which is almost OK. Melt away most of the metal or alloy steel.
It is said that using thermite to melt this special steel plate is the most suitable, but if the thermite is used in water, the water will decompose into oxygen and hydrogen due to the high heat generated. Once these two products are mixed and ignited , That would cause an explosion.
Chris expressed this concern, but George smiled and shook his head and said: "This is not a problem. I have several thermite formulas that can be cut underwater. Just be careful. It caused an explosion."
After a pause, he continued: “In fact, since the thermite was invented, various thermite formulations have been developed accordingly to cope with different welding or cutting environments. This kind of underwater aluminum was as early as 30 years ago. The thermal agent cutting method has already appeared, and it is now very mature, so you don’t need to worry. The most important thing is that this method is the fastest way to break the steel plate."
Yang Jing nodded, "George, if you are sure, use this cutting method. On the premise of ensuring safety, use this method to break the **** steel plate!"
George smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, BOSS, I promise you can enter that **** secret base before the evening arrives!"
