Scientific experiments are mostly a matter of luck within the limits delineated by scientific theories.

Tom, as a man who can send his entire family to heaven, is definitely not bad luck with scientific experiments, and it can even be said that he is very good.

However, his family did not enjoy this luck.

Neutralization, filtration, cooling, salting-out, bubbling.

If Tom's level in other things is schoolboy, he is an expert in chemistry experiments.

Although Doug's words were vague, he quickly touched the threshold of diazotization, who owns the scientific system of this era.

Diazotization is done, and then azo.

The black ugly particles metamorphosed into brilliant colors the moment they encountered strong acid.

The red grains were so bright that the moment Doug saw the color, he thought of the chili noodles sold in the market, and then thought of the name of the color - Sudan red.

"It worked!" Tom said excitedly to Doug outside the window, taking out all the Sudan dyes, "You're amazing!

"yes!

"This red doesn't have a name yet!"

"This color came out of your hand, and it's called Tom Red!" said Doug.

"No, call it Doug Red, how could I have made this color if you hadn't told me the idea of the experiment?" said Tom earnestly.

Doug thought to himself that the red in front of him was an industrial dye and was carcinogenic, and he didn't want to name this color after himself for the sake of his reputation.

However, he said, "Call your name in the first color, and if you can find a second color, give it my last name." ”

"Okay! I'll record the steps of preparing Tom red first, and then we'll do a new experiment!" Tom didn't get entangled, he had already found in the experiment that there were many possibilities for azo and there was no point in dwelling on this one color!

Tom, who had recorded it, continued to start the experiment, this time with a strong acid.

"I'll try hydrochloric acid this time!"

The color of the black particles began to mutate, and they were still red.

However, with the Sultan ...... Oh! No! Unlike Tom Red, it's a more orange red.

"This orange is called Claydon orange!" said Tom as he recorded.

"Okay!" Doug nodded in agreement.

In the course of Tom's experiment, he had given up on naming his name on a non-toxic dye.

In his meagre memory of poor chemical knowledge, he vaguely remembered that azo dyes were not carcinogenic.

Moreover, the manifestation cycle of carcinogenesis is very long, it may be as long as one or two decades, and even if things break out at that time, you can hold high the banner of scientific innocence!

Anyway, "Monopoly" may not still be on sale at that time, and even if it is still selling, it may not continue to be dyed with Tom red.

Blue!

A very different blue from indigo!

"Just use your last name this time!" said Doug.

"No, I don't have a last name! I don't want to think of my parents, my sisters, my brothers, and my brothers every time I see blue. Doug, let's name it after you, it's better to call it Doug Blue!"

Tom Red!

Claydon orange red!

Doug Blue!

In just a few hours, Tom and Doug were able to synthesize three new colors!

Unfortunately, however, after a few more hours, no new colors appeared.

Tom stopped the experiment he was working on and read Doug with regret on his face, "The experiment is going to be stopped for the time being. I don't have any coal tar here, and I don't have much strong acid. Now these three colors, can they solve your problems?"

"It should work. But...... It is also necessary to determine what medium they dissolve in and whether they can be colored on cotton fibers. Doug said.

"Then I'll try it now. Tom, who had just done the experiment, began to experiment with three different colors of powder.

If these three colors do not meet the requirements, a new color needs to be composed.

Doug said, "Tom, you experiment first, and I'll solve the coal tar problem." Oh, yes, if these three colors can be dyed on cotton fibers, I think you need to design a process for large-scale industrial production. ”

Tom, who was experimenting in the window, nodded, indicating that he had heard.

Doug left New Haven and immediately headed for the Port of New Haven.

The reason why New Haven is still relatively prosperous in commerce and industry is mainly because of the convenient transportation of the Port of New Haven.

Almost all of the raw materials needed by the factory can be found in the Port of New Haven.

Except, of course, for the time being, natural dyes.

"Brother Doug, we're meeting again! I heard you're in trouble?"

While Doug was looking for a coal tar seller, he suddenly heard Captain Drake's exaggerated voice.

The captain at sea is not only the title of the crew for the captain's position, but also because in the sea where crises are frequent, the captain can decide the life and death of a shipwright, so the people at sea are also called the captain for the powerful people.

For example, Cornelius Vanderbilt, who has landed on land, is called the old captain by almost all shipwrewmen in the United States, even if his competitors are.

At his peak, he controlled 60 percent of near-sea transportation and 40 percent of ocean-going freight.

He is half of the ocean transportation of the United States, and he is the overlord of the American shipping industry.

However, for various reasons, the overlord has begun to shrink the sale of the ships he owns in recent years.

I heard that he was going to spend a lot of money to build a railroad and build a transportation kingdom on the road.

It's a pity that those ocean boys who used to worship him were very disappointed when they heard the news.

The sea may be boring, the sea may be dangerous, but the sea is their source of wealth, and it is everything to them.

Not even a whale can leave the water, can the old captain?

Maybe the old captain really became the old captain.

Vanderbilt's disembarkation marked the end of an era in the North American ocean transportation industry.

Countless people are at a loss.

"It's a little bit of trouble. Doug lifted the brim of his hat and replied to Moral Lake.

"Your Monopoly sells well with me! I thought only guys like you would like it, but I didn't expect those rotten crew members to like it too.

Someone else came to me today to sell their Monopoly, and I told them to fuck off.

Are you here to look for dye?

I can't help that, there's no dye on the Port of New Haven right now. ”

"Thank you. But the commodity I'm looking for isn't dye, it's coal tar. Does Captain Drake have any suggestions for buying? I might have a bit of coal tar to buy. ”

"Coal tar? It's easy to find! but...... Your printing and dyeing factory is most in short supply now, why do you want to buy coal tar, can you turn coal tar into dye?"

"Perhaps?" replied Doug.
