Chapter 592 Thermite Cutting

The seaplane stayed on the sea surface about 300 meters away from the waterway at the south end of the Maug Islands Lagoon. George placed C4, and it took more than 20 minutes to float to the sea surface. The four of them, Yang Jing, came in two motorboats. To the seaplane.

Here, George, who had changed his diving suit, pressed the detonation button himself, and the next moment.
Nothing happened.
At a depth of 50 meters underwater, people on the surface of the water can feel it because of the explosion of the deep-water first bomb. When this small-equivalent C4 is detonated, people on the surface of the water will not feel any vibration and sound at all. .

Yang Jing and his group waited on the water surface for more than half an hour. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the volcano, they returned to the lagoon again. Dive down.

Only he can quickly ascend and dive at this depth, and Chris and the others are no longer elites.In order not to waste time, Yang Jing had no choice but to act as an old scalper again and go into battle in person.

A hole with a diameter of about two meters has appeared at the location of the underwater blasting, and the rock layer with a thickness of about one meter has been stripped off by C4, exposing the steel plate inside.

As Yang Jing guessed, the entrance to 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 needs to be retracted into the surrounding rock formation along with the gate, so this rock wall is so flat.

Now the cover rock wall at the lower left corner of the gate has been completely blasted, and the steel gate inside is immediately exposed.

Yang Jing took out a hammer and knocked on the exposed steel plate of the door. Judging from the sound, the door was more than ten centimeters thick.

Such a heavy door is most likely made of special steel, which is why it has not been completely corroded by seawater after being soaked in seawater for more than 70 years.

Although Yang Jing is the best at dealing with this kind of gate, there is no gate in this world that can hinder Yang Jing with storage space, but Yang Jing can't do this, there are several bodyguards behind him.

The door opened with the storage space is definitely different. Anyone who sees that kind of trace will know that there is a huge trick inside. Yang Jing doesn't want to reveal the secret of the space, so he can only take the most primitive way. The way to break this piece of steel plate.

After Yang Jing floated up, he explained the situation again, and several bodyguards began to discuss how to break through the door, which was at least ten centimeters thick.

For this kind of thing, Yang Jing is a complete layman. He can only provide the situation of this door. As for how to break through the door, he can only listen to Chris and the others discussing there.

John Bruno said: "It is better to use an oxygen-hydrogen torch for cutting. This method has a combustible gas with the best vaporized oxygen pressure. The flame is easy to maintain, and the equipment is light. The underwater cutting depth can also reach a depth of about 100 meters. The depth we need to cut this time is only more than 50 meters, and we can use this method to break through the gate, and we also brought this kind of equipment this time.”

Chris shook his head and said, "John, although your method is good, but the cutting speed of this method is too slow."

Kevin Martin also said: "That's right, we can't stay underwater for too long, we need to break through this door as soon as possible. The most important thing is that this oxygen-hydrogen cutting method can deal with ordinary ferrite The material is not bad, but it seems a bit insufficient to deal with the gate made of this special steel. And don’t forget what the BOSS said just now, the thickness of this gate should be at least 100 mm, and the oxygen-hydrogen cutting method can’t deal with it. thick special steel plate."

John shook his head and said, "Such a thick special steel plate, even if it is cut with an arc-oxygen/steel pipe cutting strip, I am afraid it will not be able to cut it."

Several people nodded silently, and George Bruce looked at everyone with a smile on the side, 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 in unison.A few of them didn't come up with a solution, but this guy actually had a solution, and he even said it was just two.

George shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult to break through the steel plate of this steel door. I wonder if you have heard of the underwater shaped charge explosion method? The power of the drug can directly blast the steel plate. This method can cut pipes, cable I-beams, cut holes, special steel, etc., and the cutting thickness can exceed 100mm. However, this method is more violent and easy to damage the cutting point. damage to components."

Yang Jin nodded thoughtfully and said: "It doesn't matter if the nearby components are damaged. Anyway, the Japanese at this base don't know how long it will be out of use. If it blows up, it will blow up. It's just that we have this kind of ready-made equipment now. ?"

George spread his hands and shook his head, "Boss, we haven't prepared this kind of equipment. But this kind of equipment is very simple and can be easily purchased in the market. At worst, let's fly back to Saipan to buy it and then break it open."

Yang Jing shook his head slightly and remained silent. Chris said, "George, didn't you say there are two ways? Then what is the other way?"

"That method is more violent than this method. It uses special thermite to forcibly melt down this steel plate."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasped. They were all from retired soldiers, so they naturally knew the power of this thermite.

Thermite is a mixture of aluminum powder and refractory metal oxides. When used, it is ignited with an igniter, and the reaction proceeds violently to obtain alumina and simple iron and release a lot of heat. Its temperature can reach a terrifying 2500 degrees Celsius, almost 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, it 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 worry, but George smiled and shook his head and said: "This is not a problem, I have several thermite formulas in my hand that can be used for underwater cutting, as long as you are careful, it won't hurt." sparked an explosion."

After a pause, he continued: "In fact, since the invention of thermite, various thermite formulations have been developed accordingly to deal with different welding or cutting environments. As early as 30 years ago, the underwater thermite The cutting method has already appeared, and it is very mature now, so you don’t have to worry about it. The most important thing is that the speed of breaking the steel plate with this method is the fastest.”

Yang Jing nodded, "George, if you are sure, then use this cutting method. Under the premise of ensuring safety, use this method to break the damn steel plate!"

George smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee that you will be able to enter that damned secret base before the evening arrives!"
