From Chief to Ball

This is not something that can be solved in one sentence, but requires a whole set of inferences based on science—if God is a law to explain the world, then science is also a law to explain the world, it just depends on which one is more effective. explain the world.Just like why one plus one equals two, there is no reason for this, it is just a human-made foundation, and all kinds of developments rely on this foundation.

Therefore, Chen Jian needs fame to ensure that he can speak out in the academy, at least someone can hear what he said; The interests of many people, so that they understand that knowledge is powerful and can bring money, don't cancel the compulsory enlightenment education that has been seriously meaningless to some rich people; war is needed, so that those who need cannon fodder know People who have been enlightened and educated have stronger fighting power than those who are completely loose; an industrial chain is needed to get more people tied together; a shameless and dark heart is needed to let the factories make those small farmers and small handicraftsmen Bankruptcy; a larger market and space are needed to accommodate the internal contradictions that will be seriously accumulated later.

This is a technical level thing.

As for others, he still needs more right to speak, and even become an indispensable figure in the new group of maritime merchants, colonists, and foreign trade, so as to expand his influence and find ways to let the government extend its hand into it.

Otherwise, one area will become rich while the rest of the area will become poorer. If we fail to develop separatist tendencies, or create armed resistance to taxes, refusal to pay taxes, and regional autonomy, it will be troublesome.

What about the colonies?How to solve the fact of labor shortage in the colonies?These things need to set the tone as soon as possible, otherwise the tail will be too big in the future, and there will be too much trouble.

This requires Chen Jian to become at least one of the top capitalists in Mincheng as soon as possible. If he can't speak in a place like Mincheng, how can he affect more places.

Therefore, Chen Jian needs to choose an industry that can not only make money, but also include many people, and can also reversely promote industrial upgrading, and at the same time achieve independent technology accumulation.

After so long, Chen Jian has some future prospects in his mind.It is necessary to make money from foreign trade or plunder in the future, and at the same time, it is necessary to build a set of things that seem expensive and meaningless at the same time as primitive accumulation.

Iron and steel materials and boring machines require more than ten years of technology accumulation; the output of raw and wrought iron or the mass production of steel requires the support of fluid mechanics and calculus, complex conic curves, and centrifugal blowers that produce blades rely on hydraulic power. Driven to bid farewell to the era of bellows and water discharge, and to generate higher wind pressure, it is possible to rapidly increase production.

These things need to be done, but the results are not high in a short period of time, and it is necessary to continue to invest while completing the original accumulation.

But there is another kind of industry that Chen Jian can do now. Relying on the foundation of the mining industry, he can try to create the simplest chemical industry.

It's just the simplest type, but it can complete technology accumulation and produce some output at the same time.

For example, saltpeter is used as a strong oxidant to burn with sulfur to produce sulfuric acid.This is much more expensive than the method of using pyrite, but it can be done now. Only by cultivating a large number of people and accumulating perfect technology can we slowly progress to pyrite burning.

At the beginning, you can use the simplest lead chamber method, and if you can't, you can also learn the cylinder kiln method in the big valley. These are completely possible with today's technical conditions.

Sulfuric acid can be heated together with table salt to produce sodium sulfate, and then sodium sulfate and charcoal lime can be used to produce sodium carbonate.

The exhaust gas of coal dry distillation coke is passed through water to produce crude ammonia water.When the Solvay soda process was born, it was still decades away from the synthesis of ammonia, and it should have relied on this kind of crude ammonia from carbonized coal as raw material.

These are three production methods that are relatively in line with the production level of the times. They are low in efficiency and high in cost, but they can promote the development of many industries and accumulate technology.

Since blood must be shed to progress, it is better to do it yourself, the sooner you bleed, the more skills you will accumulate.

Plant ash and ox blood are calcined and filtered to obtain ferrous almond potassium; ferric iron can be produced by reacting high-grade hematite with acid, and the combination of the two is a dye Prussian blue, which can be used to dye cloth.

The by-products of the original soda-making industry and the by-products of the acid-making industry can be used to bleach and pickle some fabrics, which can be used to make the color whiter and brighter, and can also promote competition in the textile industry.

The hydrogen chloride tail gas produced can be collected, and the bean cake can be hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid to produce chemical soy sauce. Although the taste is not as good as that of pure fermentation, it is still harmful in Chen Jian's view.But the cost is low, and the hydrolysis rate is extremely high. It won't take long to monopolize the low-grade soy sauce industry in Mincheng, and crowd out all those low-grade soy sauce workshops.

Stearic acid can be obtained by hydrolyzing butter with dilute sulfuric acid, which can be used with glycerin to make simple cream, which should occupy a certain market.By the way, glycerin can also be obtained by saponification.

At the expense of human life and time, sulfuric acid can be co-heated with saltpeter to produce nitric acid. Glycerin is temporarily unusable, and nitric acid and cinnabar can be used to produce mercury nitrate; nitric acid and silver can be used to produce silver nitrate.

Crude ammonia water from carbonized coal can produce some ammonia or ammonium salt in a small amount. When there is too little fertilizer, it is enough to do silver mirror reaction and can monopolize the mirror manufacturing industry.

If after decades of development, pyrite acid production has evolved from a cylinder kiln to a lead chamber to a tower method, and the production of sulfuric acid has increased, concentrated sulfuric acid and apatite can be used to generate some phosphate as the original chemical phosphate fertilizer .

Pass the waste gas produced by the original soda-making process through a hot pipeline containing copper oxide and pyrolusite as a catalyst, a part of chlorine gas can be produced, and a part of chlorine gas can be collected after passing through hydrochloric acid solution.

Chlorine can be used to make bleaching powder, and it can also be used to oxidize ferrous iron to provide raw materials for Prussian blue.Potassium chlorate can also be produced by re-reacting salt with chlorine gas or by passing through saturated potassium salt ore.

Potassium chlorate can be used as a cannon, so it can also be used in war.In addition, potassium chlorate can be used as a match head, and white phosphorus turned into red phosphorus can be used as a match skin to create a match factory that is simple, highly toxic, and has a high mortality rate.

These things are not achieved overnight, but if you don’t do it, you can only learn from others. If you don’t accumulate mature technologies, you won’t fall from the sky.

Once a small scale is formed 20 years later, this will be a huge industrial chain. In addition to accumulating a chemical base, it can in turn promote the removal of various original mechanical equipment, ventilation equipment, and phosphorus and sulfur in iron and steel smelting.

These are some methods that Chen Jian had long abandoned in his previous life because of high energy consumption, danger and low efficiency.But it is these inefficient and dangerous industries, and it is also the way that there are not too many technical bottlenecks at this time.

Chen Jian feels that in addition to making money, he really has to spend part of the money to start experimenting and accumulating in this area.

As for the success of such an ambition, it will be left to time.

If you must die from bleeding, explosion poisoning, fluorosis, etc., please start with your own family.

Chapter 32 To make money

When Chen Jian returned to Min City full of thoughts, Li Yun had already been waiting in Min City for ten days.

In the past ten days, Li Yun was treated very well, and Chen Siwen tried his best to help his son lie.

However, there is a specialization in the art field, and Li Yun heard the problem in just two days. This little junior brother who might be himself has no basis for making those things at all.But at the same time, Li Yun also knew that his possible junior brother did not have the ability to impersonate—this kind of thing that can be famous in history, it is not up to the son of a young man who has just become a school official to replace him. .

Because of this, Li Yun was even more curious about this little junior.This kind of curiosity made Li Yun look like a cat. She thought of many weird stories, but it was hard to convince herself.

During the days when Li Yun was waiting, some rumors about Chen Jian also spread like wildfire. With the halo of the success of the previous drama, he became famous at a young age and changed his past, people subconsciously like more magical stories that happened in one person. On the body, it is dramatic when it is discussed in this way.

Li Yun came from the capital, was born in a school, and came here specifically to find Chen Jian. On the way, he asked others strange questions such as whether Chen Jian's house had been bombed and smoked.

So a more nonsensical statement was put forward: when the envoys of the Qi State came to the capital for business negotiations a few years ago, they were attacked by a big iron black powder bomb. The businessmen who came and went passed it very mysterious.

Therefore, when words such as capital, school, and explosion were associated with Chen Jian, some people in Mincheng said that Chen Jian might have something to do with that incident, and some even said that it must be because Chen Siwen was a navy. There was no way to do more meritorious deeds, so the son and some people in the capital secretly planned the last bombing.Otherwise, why would he be able to do such a thing now that he was so stubborn before?It is obvious that the previous stubbornness was just pretending, and it must have some ties to the big shots in the capital...

This kind of endless story is full of magical colors, and it is very in line with the habit of the ethnic groups at this time to talk about state affairs when they have nothing to do.

So when Chen Jian rode back from the county below to Mincheng on horseback, people pointed at him privately, and a few people who lost their relatives in the previous war with Qi State blew praises at Chen Jian Whistling, and some oranges were thrown at him as a welcome.

Chen Jian looked at the oranges in his arms and was sure that they were not rotten eggs after the orchid incident was exposed, so he was relieved, but he didn't know what happened.

I wanted to go see Lin Xi and ask her if there was anything she didn't understand in the exercise books he wrote, but now it was very weird, so I went home first.

When I met Li Yun, the other party explained his purpose, and Chen Jian finally understood. Chen Siwen half understood, but also heaved a sigh of relief. This is a good thing.

It's just that now I can't understand my son more and more, and it seems that I don't even have to go on the road that was originally paved for my son.But thinking about it carefully, Chen Siwen suddenly thought of the stargazing with his son that night a year ago, and thought of what he thought it was a joke that day, and his heart suddenly moved.

Taking a closer look at his son who seemed to be unknown now, Chen Siwen sighed imperceptibly.A year ago, he heard his son say that he wanted to go outside to see the sea. At that time, he didn't have much emotion: he was a little happy with his son's ambition, but only slightly.Whether it is personal ability or money, the son seems to have no possibility of practice.Just like before, if you say a big word and then don't do it, how can such a big word sound like it can arouse all kinds of emotions?

But now, his son has become famous, even alarmed the figures in the Capital Academy, and he has money from who knows where, which made Chen Siwen a little scared.

At that time, I heard my son say that the method of measuring latitude can be measured by the rules between heaven and earth, and I just thought it might be my son's whimsy.But now, faced with the questions Li Yun asked, in Chen Siwen's view, they were no longer fanciful, but had simply become questions that he didn't dare to think about before.

Ambition is good, and it is good to go out to see the sea, but there is always some sadness if it may ruin the life of your son.

Being a father is always contradictory.When the son is stubborn and does not seek to make progress, he hopes that his son will have some ambitions; when the son gets rid of the reputation of being stubborn and does not seek to make progress, he hopes that the ideal will not be too big and it is better not to risk his life.

He listened to a few more words next to him, and when he heard the things that he couldn't understand that came out of his son's mouth from time to time, his heart suddenly sank: Now he doesn't want to know where the things his son knows come from, but he just knows The son seemed to be one step closer to being buried in the sea.

With this inexplicable sadness, Chen Siwen left the room, only giving space to Chen Jian and Li Yun.

At this time, after Li Yun experienced previous doubts and curiosity, now only approval is left.

In the conversation just now, he made a few indirect remarks, but he didn't expect Chen Jian's answer to be very professional, completely unrecognizable as an outsider, and even more proficient than some insiders.

The only weird thing is that sometimes when there are some questions, the other party will mutter a few strange words that I don't understand, and then give a completely correct answer that I can understand.
