Chapter 1,639 Haizhou

Speaking of this Su You can really feel proud for a while, because he is the inventor of the alum-free vermicelli technology, and he really invented it by himself for the mythical beasts in his family without knowing the recipe of later generations.

In the process flow registered by the Patent Office, one of the ingredients is "plant fiber", which can be regarded as a small technical barrier set up by Su You for his own formula.

It sounds fancy, but it's actually just "noodle pill" and dried bamboo shoot powder.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Su You took out a small box from his bag, shook out two gummies and handed them to Ye Zuqia. He also threw two into his mouth: "This is for chewing to clean your mouth.

Spit it out when it no longer tastes, and the breath in your mouth will be very fresh.”

Unexpectedly, Ye Zuqia was no stranger to it: "Chewing gum, I know."

Su You immediately looked sideways at Ye Zuqia: "Unexpectedly, Brother Ye, the number one scholar, also likes to linger around Fengyue..."

Ye Zuqia's face suddenly turned red: "It's nothing..."

Seeing that Su You was still looking at him, Ye Zuqia became angry and said: "If you know that chewing gum means lingering in the wind and moon, then you dare to ask the envoy where your chewing gum comes from?!"

Su You smiled and said: "This thing is made of gum. The eldest son of my family knew that my mother and I paid special attention to plant gum. When we returned from Dongsheng Prefecture, we brought back many kinds of gum trees."

"The gum used is a kind of gum called sapodilla tree; the gum color removal process is my invention; the glycerin and paraffin resin added to soften it is my wife's invention; the spice sweetener formula is also their heavenly clove oil

And stevia. Whose company do you think this chewing gum comes from?"

"This is the new product of our Kelonglisu family. When the singers chew this, their breath will be like blue, which will increase their worth."

"Gou Sheng said that the best-selling brothels are in Shuzhong and Suhu, and now only oiran-level singers can afford them. Brother Ye, how can you hide this from me? How many lyrics did you exchange for?"

"

Ye Zuqia chuckled and said: "I have always heard that the envoy is always close to me like a third-year old man, and he is very sensitive and discerns every detail. I have learned the lesson today. I will take the envoy to the station as the train waits for no one..."

"No, I really like to hear gossip..."

"There is nothing that doesn't exist..."

When the train comes out of Xuzhou Station, there is the Sishui Bridge. The bridge is 300 meters long. With the stone arch approach bridges on both sides, the length reaches a terrifying more than one kilometer. The local people call it the 300-foot Iron Dragon Bridge or Dachuan Bridge.

Because if you come up from Sishui River, you can see from a distance on the huge cement bridge pillars, there are four flying white characters written by the emperor personally - Lishe Dachuan.

In the same way, the bridge across the Yi River in Xiapi is called Wandai Bridge because there are also four big characters on the bridge - Wandai Jinliang.

The first new railway line designed was to pass through Xiapi, then go north along the west bank of Luoma Lake, pass through Linyi, Juxian, Mizhou, Jiaoxi, Laizhou, and arrive at Dengzhou.

After Lao Zuxiong suggested changing the route, he only added a third railway bridge on Shushui River, which saved hundreds of kilometers of railway distance. When he arrived at Haizhou, he was connected to the land and sea channel, advancing the huge role of the railway by two years.

.

Now the original designed line from Xuzhou to Denglai has been repaired, and it is equally important because now salt chemical products from Yanshan, petrochemical products from Bohai Sea, and products from Qingzhou Guangling Salt Industry can be transported to Laizhou by sea ship.

Sent by rail along the way.

There is a funny place on the map of the Song Dynasty. The Huaiyang Army at the bottom of Jingdong East Road, that is, Xiapi, is like a small tail, extending southward into the territory that seems to belong to Huainan East Road.

There is also a place on Huainan East Road, that is Haizhou, which is like a small tail, extending northward into the territory that seems to belong to Jingdong East Road.

Shen Kuo coveted Haizhou, the railway channel's entrance to the sea. When he was the transfer envoy of the Four Roads, he wrote to the court, requesting that Haizhou be included in the management of Jingdong East Road.

Cai Jingze, the director of the Lianghuai Road Transfer Department, said that there is no need to go to such trouble. He only needs Jingdong East Road to transfer the Huaiyang army to Huainan East Road. They are both named Huaiyang, but they are not under the jurisdiction of the Lianghuai Road Transfer Department.

, this doesn’t make sense, right?

Moreover, the importance of Haizhou and the importance of the Huaiyang Army are worlds apart. Therefore, the difficulty of changing the ownership of the Huaiyang Army is much less than that of changing the ownership of Haizhou. It is just a matter of a document from the imperial court.

When it comes to being naughty, none of the ten Shen Kuos are a match for Cai Jing. When Su You received the report, he couldn't help but laugh or cry. He wrote a reprimand, saying that each of them had fifty big words and no trouble was allowed. These were the things the central committee considered.

If you want to make suggestions, wait until you all leave the jurisdiction and enter the center.

Shen Kuo and Cai Jing stopped making trouble immediately. They waited until they entered the center before suggesting that they should achieve political achievements for the succeeding fools. Are we full enough?

So when it comes to playing tricks, Su You himself is not a good person.

Haizhou is on Huainan East Road, so it is reasonable to say that it has already left the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, but if you want to take a sea ship there, there is no way to do it. It can only be regarded as a "temporary departure".

When the train arrived at Haizhou, Cai Jing, the transfer envoy of both Huaihe Roads, Gao Gonghui, the inspection envoy of both Huaihe Roads, and Li Shuansu, the magistrate of Haizhou, were all waiting at the train station.

Since it is a transit, there must be rules for transit. Su You will not interfere with Cai Jing's governance, let alone stay in Haizhou. Everyone directly got on the carriage and headed for the port.

Originally, the train could go directly to the port, but Suyou used this method to "legally" gain some communication time for everyone.

Although Su You and Cai Jing are on the same level in practice, Cai Jing did not dare to rely on his superiors. He honestly reported the current development of Lianghuai and expressed his gratitude to Su You in particular: "Cai Jing can perform well in Lianghuai.

I would also like to thank Ming Gong for his help and providing the drawings of the miner’s lamp and air pump.”

Although Lianghuai coal mines have abundant reserves, there are not many outcrops, and more wells need to be drilled.

Moreover, most of the Lianghuai coal mines are gas associated wells with high gas concentrations. They will explode when exposed to open fire, which greatly restricts the development of the Lianghuai coal industry.

Cai Jing was a descendant of Su You, and it was he who suggested Cai Jing to establish a career in Lianghuai first. Therefore, Cai Jing told Su You about the problems encountered in the coal mine and asked him to help solve them.

The solution is actually not difficult, it is a safety miner's lamp.

In fact, the principle is very simple, just keep the miner's lamp outside the lamp body and not reach the explosion temperature of the gas.

A general miner's lamp will generate heat when working for a long time. There is a metal lampshade on the outside and top of the safety miner's lamp. The inside of the lampshade is a glass plate. The air required for combustion is self-absorbed from the bottom when the hot air in the lamp rises. And the miner's lamp

The heat generated by work will be carried upward by the hot air and absorbed by the metal wire when passing through the metal lampshade. Therefore, it cannot ignite the gas in the tunnel, which can effectively avoid accidents.

In addition, the double-spiral air compression pump used in cold storage and ammonia furnaces is also used here. Steam power is used to force fresh air into the well to form internal and external air circulation, which also greatly reduces the gas concentration.

Then let the miners bring a little yellow bird with them when they go down the mine and hang the birdcage in the work area. The little yellow bird is particularly sensitive to "gas" or other poisonous gases. As long as very weak gas is produced, it is still harmful to the human body.

Far from having a fatal effect, the little yellow bird lost consciousness and fainted.

After miners notice this situation, they can immediately evacuate the mine to avoid casualties. This is equivalent to placing a tunnel gas alarm.

After a series of measures, the Lianghuai Coal Mine became safe for vigorous mining. After the technical problems were solved, management became simple and easy for Cai Jing.

In just a few years, the coal and iron production capacity of Lianghuai and Huaihe has doubled continuously, which can meet the needs of Jinghu North and South Road and itself, and can also supply Hebei and Bianjing.

The achievements were outstanding, but Su You still criticized Cai Jing: "Chang Yuan, Shen Cunzhong is a technical official. He only sees the benefits of Haizhou returning to the management of Hebei Fourth Road and nothing else. It really is not necessary.

Take your credit."

"Your political talents are not on the same level as his. It's unkind to hold back your bad intentions and cheat others."

Cai Jing laughed happily: "I just teased him and asked him to be more honest. I knew that you would not agree, Mr. Ming."

After saying that, he handed over to Su You: "I heard that Mr. Ming has built an ammonia synthesis chemical industry in Yanshan. Huaiyang is also a salt area. Can we also come to one?"

Su You said: "To be honest, I really wish that every road had a factory like this, but the technical difficulty of that thing is still too high. You may not be able to handle a single desulfurization tower properly even with the talents of two Huaihe Roads."

The crude preparation gas contains a large amount of sulfur, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other impurities, which will poison the catalyst. Therefore, the biggest difficulty in the ammonia synthesis process is not the synthesis, but the removal of these impurity gases.

However, once successfully explored, these impurity removal processes can also become other chemical product preparation processes, and important chemical industry raw materials such as sulfur, sulfuric acid, and sodium bicarbonate can be produced through technology.

The important components of the desulfurizer are zinc oxide, and the important components of decarbonation are sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide, which remove acidic gases through an alkaline environment.

This is a chemical measure, in addition to physical adsorption measures such as activated carbon, porous silica gel, and spray.

This is just the simplest chemical reaction principle of the desulfurization tower. Technicians need to monitor the pH of the environment in the tower at any time, check the replacement rate of sulfide foam, the generation rate of sodium bicarbonate, and replenish the dosage at any time.

To elaborate, this is a big article. In later generations, until the liberation, there were only two ammonia plants in the country, and they still used the method of electrolyzing water to obtain hydrogen.

It was not until the 1950s that the country began to promote five small industries. Almost every county had small fertilizer plants and ammonia plants. The production capacity of these plants generally ranged from 2,000 tons to 40,000 tons per year.

As for Suyou's synthetic ammonia plant, they can only produce a pitiful 5,000 kilograms of ammonia per day. Based on a concentration of 25%, it can only produce one ton of liquid ammonia per day. Calculated, the annual output is less than 400 tons.

It was less than one-fifth of the production capacity of the smallest county fertilizer plant in later generations, and it was even less than half the production capacity of the first-generation ammonia synthesis equipment produced by the Germans in the early days of World War I - an annual output of 500 tons of ammonia liquid.

.

However, this is the result of more than 40 years of development after traveling through time. In this era, it is already an incredible achievement.

After patiently explaining it to Cai Jing, Cai Jing realized that not just everyone can play it.

Su You then said: "Lianghuai also has its own strengths, such as machinery manufacturing and coal chemical industry. Not to mention anything else, the agricultural and cotton production capacity of our Fourth Road in the next few years will require a large number of agricultural machinery and textile machines.

"

"You must make good use of the tools and technologies you have. In this way, I will ask the Capital University to buy you a set of electric furnaces for the production of calcium carbide."

"Calcium carbide can be used as an urgently needed desulfurizer for the steel industry in Lianghuai Road, and can also be used as a gas-generating substance for mine lighting equipment - calcium carbide lamps. This is not only the most urgently needed thing for Lianghuai Road, but also the technical level is completely achievable.

Zhu Ge can complete the factory installation, construction and production management work.”

The calcium carbide lamp is very simple. It has an upper and lower structure, with water on top and calcium carbide on the bottom. There is a metal hoop in the middle with threads on the inside, which is an important device connecting the upper and lower parts.

When using a calcium carbide lamp, first fill the lower container with calcium carbide, then use this hoop to tighten the top and bottom, and then send water into the upper container.

The equipment for controlling the amount of water inflow is called a "water needle". There is also a thread on the top, which can be connected with the gong cap of the water inlet to control the amount of water inflow.

The amount of water inflow determines the amount of gas produced, which in turn determines the size of the flame.

This thing can be made with only iron sheets and solder. It is not much more difficult to make than a kerosene lamp, but it is a clean energy source with no soot pollution, and the brightness is better than both kerosene lamps and candles.

With the electric furnace, Lianghuai can use its abundant lime and coal to make calcium carbide, which is both a means of production and a means of living.

Cai Jing said: "Brother Li is now our most important general in Huaihe River, how can we use him lightly? His duty is to train our scientific and engineering talents."

Li Shuanzhuo was the first person in the Song Dynasty to perfect the practice of "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and travel all over the world without fear".

Surveying, mapping, mining, factory construction, smelting, equipment manufacturing, farmland water conservancy... Nowadays, he is a fragrant steamed bun. Wherever he can be transferred, he will really find a treasure.
