Chapter 331

Cheng Liang hurriedly answered: "Oh~~ not here, in the back. Recently, hasn't the country opened up fireworks and firecrackers in many places? Business is much better than in previous years, so we are preparing to build an additional warehouse on the wasteland in the back."

"Time is a bit tight, the master who worked yesterday was a bit scared because of the earthquake and didn't dare to come. It's great that you can come to help today."

The cameraman's face was a bit strange after hearing this sentence, muttering in his heart, you are really not afraid of death!

Fang Yang smiled: "Small matter, take me to the construction site first!"

Cheng Liang nodded, got off the car, and led Fang Yang directly to the back of the factory.

About five minutes later, what came into view was a huge warehouse, and from time to time, workers drove trucks to pile things inside.

Both sides of the factory were connected. Looking closely, many fireworks were neatly stacked together.

The other warehouse connected to it was full of white snake-skin bags, and I didn't know what was inside, but the quantity was amazing, just like a small mountain.

Cheng Liang led Fang Yang to the vicinity of the warehouse, and also saw the new excavator parked there.

"You saw it just now, the warehouses are full, now we have to hurry to build another warehouse, time is a bit rushed, the area has been planned, someone dug a section before, you just follow his and dig, sorry to trouble you!"

Fang Yang nodded with a smile: "Okay, no problem!"

After speaking, he climbed into the cab and started working.

Looking at the planned warehouse, it could be said that it was against the mountain wall. If it was really built, it would probably be quite crowded.

Buzz buzz~~

With a burst of roaring sounds, the mud on the ground was dug up bit by bit.

The cameraman asked curiously: "What is stored in that warehouse, it doesn't look like fireworks!"

Cheng Liang answered with a smile: "That's the material for making fireworks, ammonium nitrate. You know gunpowder, the main component is this stuff, we can't do without it for making fireworks."

"Tsk tsk... so much, will it explode?"

"No!" Cheng Liang waved his hand: "Gunpowder is easy to explode, but ammonium nitrate is not easy to explode. My family has been doing this for many years, and there has never been an accident."

"Ammonium nitrate is an extremely insensitive explosive, more insensitive than the safe explosive C4. A standard industrial #8 detonator (detonating C4 only needs #6) is not enough to detonate ammonium nitrate."

"It can be said that ammonium nitrate is the most difficult explosive to detonate. The impact sensitivity is: 50kg hammer 50cm drop height, 0% explosion. Compared to the famous explosive nitroglycerin's 200g hammer, 20cm drop height, 100% explosion sensitivity, it can be said that you might not even explode ammonium nitrate if you burn it with a lighter."

"And once ammonium nitrate is dissolved in water, the detonation sensitivity is greatly reduced, and it is impossible for human impact to detonate it. Therefore, ammonium nitrate is mainly used as fertilizer and industrial and military explosives, and can be used for insecticides, refrigerants, nitrogen oxide absorbents, manufacturing laughing gas, fireworks, etc."

Fang Yang listened to the two chatting while working on the side, which could be considered as gaining knowledge.

No wonder he dared to put ammonium nitrate in the warehouse without fear.

If it was really as he said, as long as there was no fire, it would be impossible to explode.

The problem is that there was nothing flammable in that warehouse, unless the warehouse on this side exploded and blew the fireworks to the other side, and it had to be a pile of them.

But this kind of thing almost never happens.

Because the control of open flames on the firework side is extremely strict, and they are all sealed, so they can't be lit at all.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed very safe.

——【I was still worried about whether it would explode just now, but after hearing him say that, the difficulty of explosion is a bit high. No wonder it has to be processed into gunpowder. It's just that ordinary people can't buy this stuff, it seems it was set as a controlled item long ago, only firework companies like them can buy it.】

——【Let me popularize it for everyone, ammonium nitrate is a kind of white granular crystal. Ammonium nitrate is stable and non-flammable at room temperature. It must be stored in facilities with good ventilation, shading, etc., and stacking must comply with regulations. Also, it cannot be stacked too high to avoid explosion caused by falling impact.】

——【Fang Yang is too dedicated, he came to work just after the earthquake. By the way, will he go to visit the nearby troop today? When the time comes, take the audience in the live stream to see what the troop is like. I haven't been a soldier, I'm especially curious.】

——【I'm just afraid that he will suddenly have another earthquake while digging today. Don't forget that this is on the mountain. If there is a rockfall, he won't even have time to run. If you ask me, he shouldn't have come out to take a job this afternoon, it doesn't matter if he rests for a day.】

——【Didn't you watch the news? It has already been reported that it was a magnitude 9 undersea earthquake in the far sea. It's not just Xihai City, many places have suffered, but Xihai City is the most serious, and there is Fang Yang here, who is famous, so it spread out in the first time, so everyone only knows about Xihai City and doesn't know about other places.】

Time passed bit by bit, and it was already around 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was also at its hottest stage.

While digging, it seemed like he dug into something hard with one shovel.

Ding~~

Fang Yang was stunned.

He had often dug into small stones before, but almost none of them made this sound.

Several times he thought he had dug into messy things, but the result was not.

But this time he had a premonition that he might have really dug into something.

And this position was very close to the mountain wall corner, and the distance from the ground was also quite shallow, less than twenty centimeters.

Fang Yang dug open the mud bit by bit in doubt.

Soon a small slanted hole appeared in front of him.

Inside the small hole, there was actually a small iron cage hidden.

This looked like someone had dug it in advance no matter how you looked at it.

The cameraman and Cheng Liang also noticed the small hole in front at this time.

"Eh~~ what is this hole? What's in the iron cage?"

Cheng Liang shook his head: "I don't know, this piece is usually wasteland, no one cares about this side, will this be digging into something unclean?"

"I don't think so, it looks more like someone buried it in advance."

Fang Yang jumped out of the car, ignored them, and walked directly to the hole to look inside.

The hole was very shallow, and you could see the bottom of the hole at a glance, not much bigger than a ball.

The iron cage was slightly smaller, and looking at its material, it was still very new, not rusted, it should have been buried not long ago.

What surprised Fang Yang most was that there were actually a dozen toads in the iron cage!

Driven by curiosity, he pulled the iron cage out from inside.

At the same time, Fang Yang's system panel also popped up.

Cheng Liang and the cameraman also leaned over.

"Brother, what's going on! Who has nothing to do to use an iron cage to hold toads, is their brain broken!"

Cheng Liang also nodded, but then said with some doubt: "Why don't these toads look like the local toads in our hometown? They look like it, but not exactly. But I also don't understand who has nothing to do to catch toads and bury them, and if they bury them, they use an iron cage."

Fang Yang smiled: "You are wrong, people are not idle. Didn't you notice that these toads are still alive?"

"Er.. indeed, what can this represent?"

"Think about it, burying it here, if it's purely to satisfy the psychology of abuse, why are they still alive? And specifically trapped with an iron cage."

Cheng Liang was confused, shaking his head like a rattle: "I don't know!".

191. Can licking a toad be addictive? New hallucinogen! (Please subscribe)

Fang Yang showed a faint smile and said slowly: "The reason why they are still alive when buried in the soil is first of all that there must be oxygen, in other words, the hole was not completely sealed. Secondly, using an iron cage means they don't want them to run, so the answer is obvious, someone deliberately hid them here!"

The cameraman was also confused: "Why? Isn't it just a toad? What's there to hide! Could this be a national protected animal, smuggling?"

Fang Yang shook his head: "It is indeed smuggling, but it is not a national protected animal!"

"Then what is it?" Their eyes were wide as copper bells, full of curiosity.

"It's a toad called the Colorado River toad. We don't have it in China, only in the southwestern United States and other countries, so I can be sure this is a smuggled animal. Secondly, they can be considered drugs!"

"What?" The cameraman was stunned.

"Drugs? Did I hear it right, is it like heroin or ice?"

Fang Yang nodded: "That's right, you must not underestimate this toad, it's a hot commodity abroad!"

"The Colorado River toad is a poisonous toad. Its poison glands are under its eyes. Long, long ago, some hippies abroad, similar to those street performers in our country, in order to attract attention and seek excitement, deliberately licked the toad's eyes."

"As a result, guess what, they found that licking the toad could get pleasure and a psychedelic feeling, very similar to drugs."

"This is like they discovered a new continent. After careful research, it was found that the poison glands secreted by this toad can secrete 5-methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine, which is essentially a hallucinogen."

"Its effect is no different from traditional drugs, at least in terms of effect. So those addicts without conditions took the toad as their substitute."

"This stuff can be said to be economical and affordable. The method of ingesting hallucinogens is very simple, just lick its eyes and chin. There are many abroad, and it is easy to catch. Secondly, the hallucinogen it secretes is not disposable, as long as it is still alive, it will secrete 5-methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine endlessly."

After hearing Fang Yang's explanation, the cameraman and Cheng Liang felt incredible, it was the first time they heard such a story.

Thinking of using their mouths to lick this disgusting toad, goosebumps rose all over their bodies, and they couldn't help but want to vomit their lunch.

Ugh~~

The cameraman couldn't hold on first: "Brother, can this stuff really be licked? It's disgusting, what's the difference between this and eating shit!"

Cheng Liang also felt the same: "Yes, what are these people thinking, is this stuff not toxic?"

Fang Yang smiled: "It's toxic, who said it's not toxic? The poison secreted by a Colorado River toad is enough to poison a pet dog. It's not like there haven't been cases of poisoning people before. It's just that those addicts hold the idea of survivor bias, always thinking they will have good luck."

"Think about it, licking this stuff every day, is this still a normal person?"

The cameraman shivered: "These people are crazy!"

"Then should this be reported to the police?"
