Ember Gun

   Chapter 419 Explosion! explode! There is an explosion!

  "From the Theater Square to the pier, this is the nearest route."

  Under the dimly yellow street lamp, Lorenzo was sitting on the stairs of the square, while Hybold picked up the map and pointed the route for him.

  Because of the coastal trade, Maruri’s economy is very developed. Correspondingly, its construction scale is also very large. The entire city is developing morbidly and it is not crowded.

As soon as he saw this, Lorenzo got a headache. He began to miss the old Dunling. Although it was crowded, at least there were iron snakes as the main means of transportation. But here, the streets are full of horse-drawn carriages, like Like a horse race, smoke and dust fly.

  "We need some good horses, preferably war horses." Haibod said, "The scene must be chaotic then, and we have to blindfold the war horses."

"Where are they going to be arranged?" Lorenzo asked, "The two events must be carried out at the same time. In this case, there will be a crowd of Orthodox believers here, and maybe the surrounding streets will be paralyzed and temporarily controlled. "

  In front of the crowd, even the horses can’t run, maybe they will be dragged.

   "Without a horse, how do I leave? Running, no matter how fast we run, it will take at least 20 minutes to get to the pier. This is still not blocked by the enemy."

  Hyboard frowned, the plan was more difficult to implement than he thought.

  The plan reached a deadlock, Lorenzo raised his head and looked at the somewhat empty theater square.

  The sky is already dark, but there is no light on, everything looks dark, and only people not far away can be seen clearly.

  The two wounded Kestrel and Irene were sent back first, but Lorenzo was still a little worried. When leaving, he deliberately tied Irene's hands with shackles, and then gave the key to Kestrel.

After eating a loss, Kestrel was a lot more alert this time. This guy threw the key into the sewer directly in front of Irene, and then took her back to the hotel where she was resting. It is not clear that the two people are getting along. How's it going?

Eve stood not far away. After all, she was still a little girl. There were so many things in this foreign country that could attract her. While Lorenzo was discussing plans with Hybold, she walked on the theater square. Wandering around and chasing the pigeons for a while.

  It was getting dark and Eve couldn't see where the pigeons were, but there would be lights on the street soon.

  It was an old man. He was holding a long pole in his hand. The upper part of the pole was burning with flames. He walked to the side of the street lamp and stretched the burning pole into the lampshade, and then bright light emerged from it.

"What is he doing?"

  Eve approached Lorenzo, sat beside them, and asked curiously.

   "The lamplighter."

  Lorenzo raised his head and glanced at it, explaining.

  "The lamplighter?"

  Eve obviously does not know this strange profession.

"Yes, Maruli is different from Old Dunling. Old Dunling is a city of advanced technology and technology. Through the efforts of the perpetual pump, large-scale electricity has been used in the inner city, even outside the inner city. Electric lights are used so that the light keeps sheltering us."

  Lorenzo slowly talked about the technological differences between the two countries.

  "But Maruli is different. It doesn't have a permanent pump. Even steam technology is trying to catch up, let alone electricity. Therefore, the lighting system used in this city is relatively behind gas street lights."

  Lorenzo said and pointed to the burning pole in the hand of the lamplighter.

"There are pipes in these gas street lamps that release gas. When night falls, they will be turned on. At this time, the lighter will appear. They will extend the burning pole into the lampshade to let the flame ignite the gas and release the light. "

  Following Lorenzo’s narrative, the lamplighter lit up the street lamps one after another, filling the square with light bit by bit, and there was light in the field of vision.

"Old Dunling was also using this kind of thing decades ago, but now it's basically eliminated. Only some places still remain, but they also exist as souvenirs," Lorenzo continued, "This kind of thing It is very inefficient. It requires a lighter to turn it on, and a lighter to handle it when it is off."

   "In other words, these things are connected to gas pipes? Isn't it dangerous?" Eve asked.

  "At first, because of the danger, the gas lamp was used as a street lamp, not as a home lighting. As for the pipe, it was buried deep in the ground...probably okay."

  Lorenzo said so, but his expression was a little strange.

   "Eve, you are really full of bad water!"

  Lorenzo seemed to have thought of something, he praised Eve.

"what?"

  Eve Perfect doesn’t understand what Lorenzo is thinking.

  Lorenzo was not ready to explain either, he grabbed the map in Hybade's hand directly and stretched out his fingers to scratch it.

   "Hyboard, if I succeed in assassinating the pope, am I a terrorist?"

"Roughly the same."

Seeing the excitement on Lorenzo's face, Haibod felt a little uneasy. After getting along these days, he has realized that Lorenzo is a neuropathy that can get sick from time to time. He always has something very outrageous but reliable. Thoughts, and when these thoughts appear, he usually has this expression.

   "Anyway, they are all terrorists. They are about to be decapitated. There is no difference between one less crime and one more crime."

  Lorenzo mumbled while looking for a position on the line that Hybold drew, until he finally found a position that satisfies him.

   "What do you think about this place, Haibod."

  Lorenzo's heroic look is like looking at Feng Shui to pick a house.

   "What's wrong here?"

Haibod looked at the location Lorenzo was pointing to. It was not far from the Theater Square. A straight avenue could lead to it. It was the traffic hub of the neighborhood. Upon closer inspection, Haibod found that it was just right at The middle section of the escape route.

   "The inconvenient transportation here is a disadvantage for us, but it is also the same for the enemy, isn't it?"

  Lorenzo started talking nonsense.

"Crowded people will also block their way. No radio communication is the only technology available to them. They cannot communicate in time, not to mention that there are no iron whales swimming in the sky, and a red one will not suddenly fall from the sky. The air cavalry exploded our heads."

  Lorenzo became happier as he talked about it, and he suddenly discovered that the technology here is also quite good.

"What do you mean?"

  Hybod faintly guessed that Lorenzo was talking about something terrible, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Look, if you want to be a terrorist, you should be a bit more thorough. This is a transportation hub. As long as we blow up the underground gas pipeline, we can directly paralyze the traffic. Even if they send someone to intercept us, they can't catch up. Not to mention that we are in the dark, they can't put up defenses in advance, can they?"

  "But, the gas pipeline is underground, how do you blow it up? Will the pipeline be dug out in front of them? And we don't have that kind of firepower!"

  Hibald retorted, but looking at Lorenzo's serious expression, he hesitated.

   "No... Really?"

  Lorenzo replied with a smile.

  "Do you know paint antimony? I brought a big can."

  ……

  Under the night, there are still many pedestrians on the streets of Maruli. Horse-drawn carriages and mounted police are staggered on the street, and the conversation is constant.

   "Is this a step on it?"

  Eve followed the two and asked in a low voice, after hearing Lorenzo’s plan, no one would not be moved. This neurosis is really ready to be a terrorist.

   "Sure, it can also be used as a tourist attraction."

  Lorenzo leaned against the wall, looking at the map while observing the hurried street.

  This is the main road of traffic. It bears all the traffic pressure nearby. If you want to go to different areas quickly, you must pass through here.

   "We blew up here and ran away."

  Lorenzo repeats his simple and crude plan again.

   "To be honest, I should find a way to dissuade you from this terrible action, but..." Haibod seemed to want to say something.

   "But you also feel very excited, right?"

  It is no longer possible to describe Lorenzo with excitement, this guy is simply ecstatic.

   "Hyboard, there are not many opportunities for this kind of justifiable demolition, are you sure you want to refuse?"

  Hybod did not answer, but instead asked this street.

  "How are you going to explode, gas pipes are dangerous goods, they must have reinforced it many times at the beginning of the design."

   "Yes, more than that. Gas explosion requires a lot of prerequisites, but it's not what we think it is. Just break a hole in the pipe to explode."

  Lorenzo looks professional.

For the knowledge of gas pipeline explosions, thanks to the cleaning agency, because those guys always use gas pipeline explosions to cover up the truth. Over time, some people in Dunling became suspicious. They created a popular science magazine to explain this to the public. It can't be exploded at all, even if it does, it won't explode so ridiculously.

  Lorenzo had the honor to read that magazine.

  Of course, with the cooperation of the scavengers, the popular science magazine changed its boss not long after it worked. Although it was still publishing the magazine, the doubts about the secrets of the old Dun Ling were completely wiped out.

  "The pressure in the pipeline is very high, and the gas will quickly gush out from the breach. The flow rate is extremely fast. The air cannot enter to ignite and explode. Even if there is an open flame, all you can see is a fire column that continues to erupt."

  Lorenzo is serious, like a blasting expert.

"There is also a need for gas to accumulate in a closed environment. If it is detonated at that time, the explosion will burn all the air, creating a brief low-pressure environment, and then more air will be squeezed in and more gas will be released. , To provide fuel for continuous explosive combustion."

   "Wait a minute, Lorenzo, this is already a terrorist attack, right?"

  Hybod’s face turned green. In contrast, he felt that the assassination of the pope was not a major event. If it were to follow Lorenzo's words, the explosion might overwhelm the entire block.

   "Just explain, our purpose is to escape, not to kill, there is no need to cause such a large-scale explosion, all we need is to paralyze the traffic."

   "But you have planned it?" Eve asked from the side.

   "Oh, is it illegal to think about it?"

   Lorenzo asked with confidence, but he didn't get too entangled in this topic, and went on to talk about it.

   "The thing that paints antimony is a liquid fire, but it hasn't been ignited yet." Lorenzo thought about the measurement, raised his hand to an approximate height.

   "You only need these paint antimony, a small part is enough. There are gas lines in the gas street lamp. Destroying the lamp post may detonate these," Lorenzo paused, "Destroy with the protective gas valve."

  "This risk is too great, and there is too much uncertainty." Haibod vetoed it.

   "If you are not sure, just increase the dose. I brought a lot of antimony, but I don't want to waste all of it here. Otherwise, they will detonate together and blow up the entire Yejia Theater."

  Lorenzo seemed determined to have a big bang.

   "Hybod, the rescue of Ivar and the assassination of the Pope were carried out at the same time. To ensure success, the negotiation site will also be near the Theater Square.

  Think about it, how many people will gather here at that time? Audiences, believers, and some passers-by, the explosion will attract their attention, but also cause riots, large-scale panic is conducive to our actions. "

  Lorenzo completely replaced himself in the role of terrorist.

"You are right, Haiboard, these things are unpredictable, but have you ever thought that our assassination and rescue operations will also go wrong? If the enemy wakes up in the middle, shall we flee or continue to act? In this case, the explosion will also act as a smoke bomb, buying time for us to act."

   "Then what are you going to do?" Haibod was persuaded by Lorenzo.

  “Lennett’s performance was after sunset before night fell. That time period was the dimness we had just experienced, the valve of the gas street lamp was turned on, and the lamplighter went out to work.”

  Lorenzo looked at the shining street lamps.

   "That is the moment when dusk and night meet, and it is the time for us to act.

Do your hands and feet first. When the night falls, the gas valve will open and the gas will be ignited. After a few minutes, the high burning of antimony paint will flow into it, detonating the street, and panic will pass through the crowd, maybe even. It will cause riots, and then we can start what we want to do. "

  "How do you detonate?" Haibod asked, "We don't have many hands."

   "The lamplighter."

   Lorenzo said.

  Gas street lamps need a lighter to ignite the fire. High temperature will ignite the paint antimony. This deadly substance will release a lot of heat, the steel will be melted, and the hot metal will flow back into the pipe, igniting and exploding continuously.

  These are the time bombs placed in the street lights one after another, spreading panic and anger in Maluri.

"Manpower is a problem, and have you ever thought that we need a two-line operation, a group of people to rescue Ivar, I hunt the pope alone..." Lorenzo thought for a while and added, "Of course, I might We are not alone. Our actions need to be synchronized. We evacuate at the same time and use time as a timer. Do you think it is feasible? For example, how many minutes after the action starts, we will start to evacuate.

  Faced with Lorenzo’s questioning, Hybold was silent.

"I'm an expert. Time is the real uncertainty, not to mention that we are facing the Iron Law Bureau. Those guys are far more sensitive than us. Looking at the time in that situation will undoubtedly cause them. Suspect, we also don’t have a communicator and cannot communicate in time."

Lorenzo thought for a while, he suddenly remembered his power. From a certain perspective, Power Gabriel can also communicate, but it is a one-way communication, and Lorenzo does not know whether he will give The communicated person brings negative effects.

   "Boom!"

  Eve said from the side.

   "Yes, the explosion is a sign!"

  Lorenzo and her high-five, not happy.

  According to the distance calculation, if it can be successfully detonated, the impact of the explosion will spread to the theater square. Even if you hide in the depths of the house, you can hear the heavy sound, like the roar of a giant bell.

Haibod sighed helplessly. He believed that Lorenzo must have a better solution, but this guy would not let go of the opportunity to explode Garunallo. He obviously cared more than the deadly work. Fun this kind of thing.

  The problem was solved. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked to the end of the street. The believers walked out of the darkness after the sacrament, and the street was crowded again in a blink of an eye.
