Without a detonator, the difference between TNT and a brick is not significant.
Because TNT itself has an overly stable chemical nature, it must be triggered by a shock wave and high temperature from a detonator to initiate a chain reaction and release explosive energy.
These conditions are particularly stringent, and being on an industrially backward isolated island, Chen Zhou absolutely cannot produce them by hand.
Of course, if he were brave enough, he could try using gunpowder to detonate the TNT.
However, the risk of that detonation method is not something he can afford.
...
On March 14, after moving all three prizes back to the cave, Chen Zhou inventoried the amount of TNT.
All the TNT explosives were stacked tightly and neatly, with a total of four layers from top to bottom, each layer having eight columns, each column containing five blocks, totaling 160 blocks of 200g charges.
