Doug looked at Tom, a tragic expert, and was wondering how he lived to this day.

Tom seemed to see what Doug said, "The secret to living to this day is to leave dangerous things to others. Otherwise, even if God blesses me, I will not be able to live now."

He tilted his head again, thought for a while and said, "For science, there will always be someone who will sacrifice himself, just me."

“…”

“…”

Doug and Tom looked at each other speechlessly.

"Put it out of the fire first." Doug broke the silence first.

Forest fires are not unusual in the United States in this era.

Because of the small number of people, a large number of primeval forests are still spread across the United States.

Forest fires are a natural evolution process.

Whether it is a lightning or an artificial fire source, the ashes left behind after burning a large forest will become fertilizer for new plants.

The burning of high temperature can also eliminate infectious diseases and pests in the woods.

It can even be eaten by wild animals or become a barbecue.

This kind of natural prosperity and decline is said to be a natural law.

However, for humans who already have economic activities, such natural laws are not a good thing.

Although the timber resources are too abundant in the United States, the price of wood is not high. In order to save money, even building houses, wood is preferred instead of soil and stone.

Although picric acid is an explosive, it is different from TNT's straightforward and neat. Even after it explodes, it is still prone to leave open flames.

An open flame will turn into a fire again.

It is very common for ships that use picric acid as artillery explosives.

Doug, who knew this, looked at Tom, who seemed innocent beside him, and didn't know if this guy asked his men to go down to the woods to experiment on purpose.

"Put the fire!"

"Put the fire!"

The workers in the dye workshop next to Tom's cottage were moved.

Because of the dye making, a large amount of water is required. Therefore, a large well was dug.

The well was in use at this moment. The workers transported buckets of water to the edge of the woods like a dragon, trying to extinguish the fire with water.

Unfortunately, although they have worked very hard, the fire has shown no sign of weakness and there is even a tendency to spread.

This land in North America is not blocked by majestic mountains from north to south.

In winter, the dry wind blows from the north to the south.

Although New Haven is located in New England on the east coast, it is also dryer in winter under the inland winds.

Although the workers in the dye workshop were still trying to put out the fire, Tom and Doug sat down not far from the edge of the woods.

Quietly feeling the cold wind behind me, blowing towards the fire.

"Can't save it."

"I can't save it."

"Doug, are you angry?"

"I'm not angry."

"Then why don't you look very happy?"

"Are I happy to see the fire?"

"I think it's very happy to find a new explosive." Tom took out a small beaker containing trinitrotoluene, looked at the yellow substance inside, and said obsessively, "This little thing can explode no matter how much it is, and it won't produce open flames. It's very fierce. I like it very much."

Doug looked at the fire, and of course he knew that TNT was an excellent explosive, and even more than a hundred years later, it still had large-scale applications.

However, Doug was wondering whether the synthetic trinitrotoluene could be hidden for a while.

Although its performance is excellent, it has broad prospects whether it is bombing mountains and mining or slaughtering humans.

However, from the perspective of capital, getting it in one step is not a good thing most of the time.

With one step in place, there is no room for further upgrading and no comparison of grades. How can you get excess profits?

"Tom, do you want to get it on the market as soon as possible, so that his explosion will be seen by more people?"

"Yes! He looks so cute when he explodes!" Tom stroked the beaker, as if he was stroking the girl's skin.

"What should I do if there is a picy acid?" Doug pointed to the forest. "Someone has sacrificed for picy acid. Picy acid is also an explosive, and it is not fair to picy acid for you to do this."

Tom's feelings for explosives were far more than his subordinates.

He didn't care whether the subordinate who went to the experiment was killed by the bomb, or was burned to death now, or whether it had the value of rescue.

He wondered if he really pushed trinitrotoluene, would it be really fair to picric acid?

He thought for a long time before saying, "But, the performance is really bad..."

Doug saw the fire that soared into the sky, which attracted many Yale people and rushed towards this remote place in normal times. He said, "The performance is relatively good and bad. At least, the intensity of the picy and acidic acid damage to surrounding objects after the explosion is much better than the current gunpowder.

Even if the trinitrotoluene is taken out directly, it is no different from picric acid for ordinary users.

Moreover, they would directly think that it should have such excellent performance.

This is not fair to it.

It is best if people who need to use explosives have higher demands after using picric acid and have higher demands.

Otherwise, it will be unfair to both of them.

Tom, do you think so?"

"What you said makes sense..." Tom fell into a long exam.

When he was struggling with his mind, more and more people came to participate in the firefighting.
