When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp. They were all retired soldiers, so they naturally knew the power of thermite.
Thermite is a mixture of aluminum powder and refractory metal oxides. When used, it is ignited with an igniter. The reaction proceeds violently to produce aluminum oxide and elemental iron and release a large amount of heat. The temperature can reach a terrifying 2500 degrees Celsius, which can melt almost all metals or alloy steels.
It is most appropriate to use thermite to melt this special steel plate. However, if thermite is used in water, the high heat generated will decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen. Once these two products are mixed and ignited, it will cause an explosion.
Chris raised this concern, but George smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not a problem. I have several special thermite formulas that can be used for underwater cutting. As long as you are careful, it won't cause an explosion."
After a pause, he continued, "In fact, since thermite was invented, various thermite formulas have been developed to cope with different welding or cutting environments. This underwater thermite cutting method appeared more than 30 years ago and is now very mature, so you don't have to worry. The most important thing is that this method is the fastest way to break through steel plates."
Yang Jing nodded, "George, if you are sure, then use this cutting method. Under the premise of ensuring safety, use this method to break the damn steel plate!"
George nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Boss. I promise that you will be able to enter that damn secret base before dusk!"
