The great sacrifice behind the invention of the world's most destructive weapon

Exploring explosives is a very dangerous job, because dynamite is a fastidious "object" , which often causes an explosion. Nobel is a man who knows dangerous work but still does, he said that wanting to catch explosives becomes a useful thing for the people.

The birth history of explosives

Alfred Bernhard Nobel once saw workers repairing work roads, mining mine workers, workers working on construction sites of dams. He saw these workers have to use a hoe to dig rocks, extremely hard, but the effect is not so much. At that time, he thought that he had to take safety measures to break the stone for making roads and digging the sea. From there he began researching safe explosives.

At that time, everyone knew a powerful explosive, when it exploded, called Nitroglixerin , it was a liquid like oil. It is an extremely explosive type of explosive , when the destructive power is very large, sometimes in a strong shaking container is explosive. Many people want to overpower it but are not successful, even someone has to give up their lives.

Nobel was not afraid, accepted the challenge, in the process of getting acquainted with this drug, there were many times nearly lost his life.

There was a Nobel with his father, brother and some other people working on the experiment , not knowing why the sudden explosion caused 5 people to die, including the brother of Nobel, his father also suffered damage. At that time, family and friends advised him to quit his research job, because it was too dangerous, Nobel said: " No, because of science, I do not regret myself! " my job. After that, many people left, only he remained firm before the challenge.

Because the laboratory happened to explode in a row, the families living around were very afraid, they found Nobel to not allow him to do experiments here anymore, he had to move to experiment on a sailboat in the middle of Lake Mialaren . He conducted more than 400 experiments but still failed.

Then, incidentally, Nobel discovered its secret.

One day on the way, the container of Nitroglixerin cracked but did not explode. It turns out that Nitroglixerin jars are placed in wooden crates, between wooden crates and earthen pots. Broken jars, Nitroglixerin flows into the soil. Nobel took soil and soaked Nitroglixerin to conduct experiments. He discovered this type of soil after having exploded will explode violently, but if it does not lead to explosion, it is very safe.

Nobel was very happy, he immediately conducted experiments on a large scale, he soaked Nitroglixerin into a large pile of soil and then used a wire to explode. Unexpectedly, this explosion was so strong, the thick smoke column rose straight up into the sky. Everyone heard the explosion and came running around everyone saying: " God, this time, the Nobel dies!"

At that moment everyone saw a man coming out of that thick smoke column, his face full of fresh blood, black clothes, running and shouting like a madman: " I have succeeded, I have become public! "

So, in the spirit of not fearing the Nobel sacrifice, it has tamed the " crazy beast " that has a stubborn personality - Nitroglererin, making this powerful explosive does not explode when stored, transported and exploded. strength. Later on, this type of safe explosive is applied in the field of mining, construction site,. . . It has a very important effect.
