From Chief to Ball

The waste gas hydrogen chloride from the soda workshop is collected with charcoal and water, and ferrous chloride is formed with iron, and then chlorine gas is passed into ferric chloride, which is combined with yellow blood salt as a dye.

The production of sulfuric acid is increasing day by day, and some wealthy people in the north have started to play hydrogen balloons, and the consumption of raw materials for explosives is also increasing day by day.

The accompanying acid hydrolyzed glycerin, soap, simple heart medicine, etc. are also constantly trying to develop around this system.

A system with the steps of using cattle for oil wells, selling cattle for meat, slaughtering cattle for blood, burning dyes with blood, making alkali with salt, bleaching waste gas, and oxidizing raw materials, or something similar to it, has finally been built up patchwork.

Although the output is not high and the equipment is simple, it has taken the first step into a system after all.A large number of craftsmen have also begun to purposefully try to make some new machinery to deal with various problems in this system and make a living from it.

In time, taking advantage of the coal and iron in Nan'an and the port in Minjun, which is a future international trade port, this simple and crude industry will gradually develop into a chemical center and a coal-iron complex industrial zone on this continent or the entire world.

And in the same way, due to the influence of the Tianping event of Qianjin Shigu in the capital city, more and more craftsmen came to Min County and Nan'an to join the Craftsman Technology Association in the name of science.

Chen Jian invested heavily, throwing half of his annual glass income here.Ask people to give, ask money to give money.

He provided ideas, and the craftsmen tried to make and experiment, and finally it was time to harvest.

The development of the steam engine is nowhere in sight, and the preconditions such as the new lathe boring machine are still slowly being tried, but some other things have reached a critical point.

In agriculture, try new seed drills, horse-drawn cultivators, horse-drawn wooden threshers, and horse-drawn ear harvesters. These things have already taken shape. This is not too difficult. The idea and direction are right. Gathering craftsmen is considered a planned development much faster than spontaneous research.

And in the cotton spinning industry, where the handicraft industry is most likely to break through, new machines are also being tried to manufacture.

Cotton is harvested and requires a lot of preparation to be spun into thread and then woven into cloth.

From seed cotton ginning to lint, hand twisting into cotton sliver or using the roller machine that has appeared to make cotton sliver, and then spinning the cotton sliver by hand spinning machine, or spinning it into roving first, and then spinning the roving into spun yarn, It's a whole set of businesses.

The cotton gin was just the beginning. The legendary Jenny machine also spun roving into fine yarn instead of directly turning cotton into yarn.

The research on textile machinery has been spent for two years, and simple carding machines, cotton winding and rubbing machines, hydraulic or animal-powered multi-spindle worsted spinning machines are also in bud.

There is no need to follow some paths that have been proven to be evil paths, and there is no need to follow the established development step by step.

Looking at these simple iron or wooden machines, Chen Jian was filled with emotion.

Not lamenting the greatness of machinery, but lamenting the turmoil that all this will bring.

Any traveler who is interested in changing the world will inevitably aggravate social turmoil instead of making society more stable and stable.

Taking people who have died normally for decades or more than a hundred years, using a drastic form to complete it in just a few years will cause terrible consequences.

The research on these machines is not strictly confidential, but try not to publicize it.

The simple promotion of agricultural machinery resulted in the bankruptcy and merger of a large number of small farmers and the unemployment of agricultural employees.

The mechanization of these cotton spinning industries resulted in the reduction of the handicraftsmen in the cotton spinning industry into bankrupt proletarians within a few years.

Machines have brought about an industrial revolution, but also violent social upheavals, especially in a group with well-developed handicraftsmen—people have to eat.

Originally, these transformations from handicraftsmen to proletarians, from small land farmers to abjectly poor hired workers, were slowly digested over a period of more than a hundred years.

These people will die and go bankrupt, but they will not die one after another because of the dilution of time.

But once the dilution effect of this time is artificially shortened, there will be riots and social unrest.

The industrial revolution did not start with the steam engine. These machines that were born soon could be the starting point—hundreds of thousands of unemployed agricultural workers poured into the cities, tens of thousands of cotton spinning handicraft workers lost their jobs or went bankrupt, and the whole society had many Out of hundreds of thousands of labor and instability... not just the beauty of factories, black smoke, and machinery.

However, the ideological revolution on the other side is not yet ready, and no one has yet laid down an internally coherent bourgeois-democratic ideology.

On the other hand, the pressure relief valve for this violent social turmoil is not yet ready, and it is still unknown beyond the sea.

If you want to save people from dying, you can only put these machines aside first, and only experiment instead of using them.

It is also a good thing to look at it dialectically.A group of people who are unemployed, rebellious, and suppressed can put people who should have the same fate on board the sailboat.

Those who are not persecuted and poor can't live on. Only merchants go to sea, not colonists who live permanently and cultivate.

Thought change, mechanical power, and pressure relief valve, these three things are connected together, and one is indispensable, especially for a country with a population of more than ten million.

After being exhausted and busy for several years, Chen Jian understood that this was just the first step.

"Monsters who devour human lives, wait here first."

Looking at these simple handicrafts made of pig iron or wood or machines powered by animals and hydraulics, Chen Jian was helpless.

Love it and hate it.

Chapter 163

Chen Jian loves and hates those iron bumps, and there are also people who love and hate Chen Jian, and Ye Yuanshan is one of them.

He would like to thank Chen Jian for everything he has done over the years, otherwise he would not have been able to complete this step so easily or so quickly.

But also full of vigilance and uneasiness about what Chen Jian has done in these years.Perhaps, Chen Jian is just a capital entity, especially when this entity can already control the situation of a county.

But in June of this year, Yuanshan could only put away his uneasiness and choose a more in-depth cooperation to continue his path.

Min Junxing, he will become the spokesperson of the new era.If Min County is in decline, he will become a sacrificial offering of the old times.

Now that he has embarked on this path, he is also prepared not to look back for the time being. If he does not even have this responsibility, then he is not worthy of ambition.

After being officially appointed, Ye Yuanshan invited all the prominent figures in Nan'an, and set up a banquet as a farewell.

After the banquet with many people, Ye Yuanshan hosted Chen Jian alone.

No alcohol, because it is easy to get drunk.

Only two cups of tea.

The kerosene lamp next to it was adjusted to the brightest, and the flame flickered and swirled in the cup, and the two figures were reflected on the glass window, and there was no one else.

In the dark shadows, Ye Yuanshan knew that, just like the glass windows and kerosene lamps in this room, no matter how hard he picked them off, he couldn't clean them off.

After a long time, Ye Yuanshan remembered the previous night banquet and started it with a joke.

"Mr. Chen, you are proficient in divination, why don't you give it a try?"

"What?"

"random."

Chen Jian laughed loudly and said, "Now is the age of science. There is no scientific basis for divination, so I gave up. You see, divination may guess that there are islands in front of the sea, but the telescope can definitely see there are islands in front of it." Island."

Ye Yuanshan also laughed, and said, "Then don't ask ghosts and gods and science today. Mr. Chen, if you use science to do the math, what will happen to Min County in the future?"

"It's great."

"How to say?"
