After listening to Lin Mo's story, Peng Zhijian looked suspicious and slowly expressed his guess.

"What?... These are related to chemical weapons? Lao Peng...you...remember right?"

Professor Zhang, who is good at theory, couldn't help but stand up, his tone trembled and even his face was a little distorted.

It’s no wonder that this person reacted so much. He was also a doctoral student studying abroad and studied in France after the European War. He had come into contact with an officer who had experienced a poison gas station. When he recalled the other direction, he described the battlefield where he had been attacked by poison gas, and his whole body was still cold.

He had heard that the Japanese army had used poison gas in the north, but he had never believed it very much. After all, there were clear international conventions prohibiting it, and he also sneered at some remarks that advocated that China should develop chemical weapons to counter Japan. But now the clear evidence is in front of him, which has completely subverted his previous understanding. How could he not be surprised?

In the Chinese academic community, the power of European chemical weapons during wartime shocked many people, especially many enlightened people who realized that China and Japan would have to fight, and there is no shortage of voices calling on the Chinese government to respond.

Although chemical weapons are the atomic bombs of the poor, for China, which was poor and weak at this time, it is not easy to do a high-tech weapon. After all, it is not an era where many technologies have spread in later generations and raw materials are not so difficult to find.

Compared to Professor Zhang, Teacher Zheng is much more rational. He has naturally paid attention to chemical weapons, but he doesn't think that a piece of paper can have much limitation.

"Old Peng, I have also paid attention to chemical weapons, but these things do not seem to be used for chemical weapons, right?"

Hearing Lecturer Zheng’s question, Lin Mo also looked at Peng Zhijian. Although his speculation was just like Peng Zhijian, what he needed was the facts.

"Old Zheng, it's normal that you can't recognize it. After all, what you can access is all public information. When I was working in the German Institute, I had the opportunity to read some unpublished information in this regard.

The things we recognize can be roughly divided into three categories: one is the pre-synthetic substances that may be used on the battlefield or the pre-synthetic substances of such new chemical weapons.

These substances can either be directly applied to the battlefield, or new substances can be applied to the battlefield after a simple synthesis operation of one or two steps.

The new chemical weapons I am talking about are chemical weapons that have been used on the battlefield during the war in Europe and are still in the experimental or theoretical stage.

The second type is the chemical weapons commonly found on the battlefield in the European wartime battlefield, the core or important additives required on the new synthetic path. At that time, they were basically in the experimental or theoretical stage. In theory, these new paths can be used for larger-scale production or reduce the cost of production.

The third type is something I don’t know. What I saw back then was just some of these laboratories reporting research results or theories and applying for research funding. And they were either rejected or unapproved information. The real secrets could not be exposed to me.”

After hearing this, Lin Mo asked, "Teacher Peng, what level is the Japanese currently at in the field of chemical weapons?"

"Well..." Peng Zhijian thought about it and said: "At least the chemical weapons that had been used on the battlefield during the European war were definitely mastered by the Japanese, and could even be used on the battlefield on a large scale.

After all, the second type of thing is the exploration of new production paths of this type of weapon, and a new production path requires a lot of time and energy to explore, so generally exploring new production paths is after mastering the mature production paths.

As for the first type of things, I guess, should be used to screen and study new chemical weapons, and can also prove that the other party has mastered the commonly used chemical weapons in European wars.

Another important point is that the Japanese have the ability to obtain intelligence in Europe. If they have strong abilities, they will definitely have the opportunity to obtain more confidential chemical weapons research materials.

These are recognized by me, and the level of confidentiality is obviously not high enough. They should only belong to the Japanese's diffusion research, which is a three-point shot with no dates. However, this means that many more confidential chemical weapons have been studied by them, and the Japanese's chemical weapons research has reached an extremely high level.

If the Japanese had not had a strong intelligence acquisition ability in Europe, then the situation would be fine, but it was obviously time to screen and study new chemical weapons. For us, this was also a bad thing."

After a while, everyone present was silent. They couldn't get in touch with whether China had chemical weapons, but even if there were, they would be too far behind compared to their opponents.

Feeling this atmosphere, Director Sun flashed his 'inspiration' and said: "The chemical level in Japan is not bad, and these things can be made. Moreover, chemical weapons are definitely confidential. You should not use this method to make raw materials. Could it be that something was wrong?"

As soon as these words were said, Professor Zhang and Lecturer Zheng both turned their eyes to Lin Mo, and there was expectation in their eyes like Director Sun. Only Peng Zhijian turned his head to the side and swept over Director Sun's gaze with disgust. Cui Shunong listened quietly while not expressing his opinion.

"Wait for a moment..." Looking at the expectant gazes of the few people, Lin Mo felt mixed feelings and could only give in helplessly and let the few people wait. After all, although they were lucky, they still thought about this country in their hearts.

"Teacher Peng, how difficult is it to produce these chemicals in small quantities by themselves? So what is the cost?"

Hearing Lin Mo's questioning, Peng Zhijian calculated and said, "Most of the ones we recognize need a series of synthetic processing to produce them.

Some of them, if they are only produced in small quantities, can be prepared and synthesized in laboratories. Some of them are quite easy, while some are more cumbersome.

The remaining part, because the conditions require the synthesis process, special equipment is required, or some kind of addition is difficult to make in the synthesis path, if you only produce it in a small amount, it will not only take a lot of time and energy, but also cost extremely huge.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In general, the first part of the company carried out a small amount of production in the laboratory, and the cost of manpower, material, etc. is about 10 or 20 times the direct purchase.

As for the latter part, the cost will be higher, at least dozens or hundreds of times, especially those that require specialized equipment. If this kind of equipment can be purchased or available, the cost will be lower. If the equipment needs to be developed and manufactured from scratch and finally produce a small amount of production, the various expenses of equipment manufacturing will have to be spread to this little output, and the cost is thousands or tens of thousands of times that can be directly purchased."

Lin Mo nodded and continued to ask: "Teacher Peng, are these things easy to buy in Europe and the United States? Will they face some supervision or restrictions?"

"It is certain that there are regulation and restrictions. After all, it may be related to chemical weapons. During the European war, countries were deeply harmed by chemical weapons, and they must be extremely concerned about it, both openly and secretly. However, it depends on which chemical it is. The regulation and restrictions different chemicals are subject to are definitely different."

After saying that, Peng Zhijian pointed out some of them and said: "Like these, commercial uses have been widely developed, and procurement supervision and restrictions are very loose, and ordinary people can buy them if they have some thoughts.

As for the rest, some have not yet been developed for commercial purposes, but some laboratories use existing equipment to produce small batches to provide some research institutions for research, but they are generally domestic institutions.

Some are also commercially valuable, but the demand is not large. They are generally produced by laboratories or small companies. The price is relatively expensive and it is difficult to obtain.

The latter two types are because the production is small and easy to regulate, especially the several of them are considered to be likely to be used in chemical weapons, so the supervision restrictions are extremely strict and can only be obtained through some secret channels.

If multiple chemicals are obtained together, or if multiple chemicals are found during transportation, once they are noticed and investigated, it is not difficult to guess in European and American countries that it is related to chemical weapons, so it is very likely to choose to use other countries for cover."

Lin Mo nodded, looked at the few people, and said, "Now, I can roughly answer the previous question.

First of all, based on the clues provided by Teacher Peng and the number of seized, we can roughly confirm that if these chemicals are used in chemical weapons research, they should be used in the experimental screening and verification stages, and whether they are used in chemical weapons is still unknown.

The current mainstream method for screening and verification experiments is to test a variety of chemicals in a haystack. Even if some theories can be used for initial screening, they will inevitably conduct screening experiments.

In this work, the chemicals required to be screened are obviously huge, and the expenses required are also huge. Even if you spend a huge amount of money and allocate them to each chemical that needs to be screened, the quantity will not be large.

So, this kind of screening work is very important to control costs. It is easy to say for chemicals that can be produced in China or easily purchased on the market, but it is very troublesome for those we seized.

Research and produce it yourself! The cost is extremely huge. Whether these are useful is still unknown, but it is not possible to not screen. After all, they have been proposed to be used as chemical weapons. If they have been screened by previous generations, the chances of being able to be chemical weapons are much higher than ordinary chemicals.

Of course, self-production also has ways to control or offset the cost, that is, self-production screening can be used as commercial operations. However, this involves patent issues. Japan is still going to be involved in the international community. In order to make some money, I don’t think so."

Hearing the patent, Professor Zhang looked at the samples on the table and recalled, "Indeed, there are many chemical synthetics in it, and there are still many commercially valuables left, and their mainstream synthesis paths are basically within the patent protection period."

Lin Mo nodded and continued: "There is another point I have said before that the destination of this thing is in the Northeast, which may be the reason why he chose to buy it from abroad.

Because the Japanese are not monolithic, and even the competition and power struggle are extremely cruel. For example, the Japanese forces in the Northeast have their own factions in Japan. If they do not want the forces in Japan to know or interfere with their research, they may choose to obtain these things through Western channels.

Of course, it may also be due to other reasons, such as the Japanese army and navy, the military and the government, and it may also be due to the fact that they purchase their own research without using domestic forces.

However, these are just speculations. Since those who know the inside story have not been arrested, everything can only be based on our own research and inference at present.

But! There are so many chemicals that are identified just by identifying so many chemical weapons, and so many means are used in transportation. I don’t believe there will be such a coincidence.”

After hearing Lin Mo say that, the little luck in his heart disappeared. Zhang, Peng and Zheng knew that things were important and had begun to continue research.

As for Director Sun, I regretted opening this. I have been busy with all kinds of flies and flies all day long. Not to mention updating my professional knowledge, I have learned everything I have learned before, and I still have to hurry up today...

He continued to stay with the few people for a while. Seeing that there was no result in a short period of time, Lin Mo communicated with everyone and agreed on the contact information. Of course, Lin Mo did not forget to reiterate the confidentiality requirement again, so he packed up his things and said goodbye and left.

After returning with Zhuzi, Lin Mo came to Xu Guyu to report. Lin Wenhua and Zhang Hongxin were also here with Xu Guyu, so he saved it.

"Bang..." After Lin Mo said, Xu Guyu couldn't help but slam his palm on the table, and Zhang Hongxin couldn't help but speak.

"Damn, this Japanese devil doesn't follow any rules! This has already signed an international convention and actually treats it as waste paper."

Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled bitterly: "For China and Japan, this convention is indeed similar to waste paper. The main reason why this convention can be applied in European and American countries is that everyone has the ability. If you dare to use it, I can use it back. No one can bear the consequences and will naturally abide by it."

"What if we have one too?" Xu Guyu heard what Lin Mo said and asked back.

"If you have it, the Japanese will not dare to be so unscrupulous."

When Xu Guyu heard Lin Mo's words, he was slightly stunned. Lin Wenhua interrupted, "That is to say, we may not be able to use it."

"Yes..." Lin Mo nodded helplessly and said, "Our use is also a violation of international conventions. At that time, the other party may use this as an excuse to use chemical weapons on a large scale.

The gap in industrial strength between China and Japan is too big. Once we pull off this fig leaf, we may suffer a loss. On the one hand, the chemical weapons are not as good as the other party, and on the other hand, the other party has relatively complete anti-virus equipment and measures. Our chemical weapons may not have much effect. The main reason is that the battlefield is on our territory. If we use it, it may not cause much damage to the enemy, but instead cause huge damage to the Chinese people."
