Chapter 12 Experiments in Progress I

After breakfast, Liu Yi told his uncle that he was going to leave in the morning. When the uncle and aunt heard about it, they kept it vigorously, saying that Liu Yi had just resigned, and he would stay in his hometown for a while if he had nothing to do, so he should relax.

Liu Yi said to them, "I went out this time, and some things at work have not been handed over clearly, and I may return to the countryside after I am done, and I will definitely stay for a few more days." "I thought to myself that if the experiment was successful, I would have to live in the countryside for the rest of my life.

Bidding farewell to his uncle's family and returning to his home in the town, Liu Yi's home in the town was the top floor of the building, when it was first renovated. My parents cherished the feeling of farming, so they picked a lot of soil on the top floor and surrounded it with bricks, which was more than ten square meters, and the soil layer inside was one foot thick, and it was enough to plant some shallots and vegetables. But since this vegetable garden was built, the vegetables have been abandoned after planting them once, and the reason is naturally that the family is busy making a living outside, and they usually don't have time to go home, let alone grow vegetables on the roof.

Liu Yi valued this piece of land and prepared to experiment with the cultivation methods and "special fertilizers" in the "Shennong Sutra" in the ground on the top floor. Another advantage here is that no one usually comes up at all, and even if the results of the experiment are shocking, it will not attract too much attention. Pull out the free grass that grows in the vegetable garden, and then loosen the soil inside, more than ten square meters of land, or it will not take long to finish, and the matter will come to an end here.

In addition to getting back the raw materials of "special fertilizers", Liu Yi also thought about how to "refine" the raw materials. Because this is only a small batch experiment, and it doesn't use too many props, Liu Yi thought about it later, and moved back the two stone pangs that originally opened the noodle shop, ready to be used to mash the slag into powder and fine slag, but I don't know if it will work when the time comes, anyway, I will prepare, and then find a way.

In addition, you have to heat the ore and go to the blacksmith shop, Luoshi Town is an old town, and there is an iron shop above the town, and now there are hoes and lawn mowers, barely sustaining, but looking at the iron bars taken out of the charcoal fire and the hammer is flying, and the muscles are strong and powerful, you will not believe that he will be an old man who has reached the age of seventy.

According to himself, striking iron is now just his hobby, and he has been playing iron all his life, and he is really not used to doing something when he is inactive. His children were all out of town, and he asked him to move to a high-rise building in the city several times to live with them, but he also refused.

Liu Yi explained his intention, saying that he wanted to get an iron can, and wanted the old man to help him get one. The old blacksmith understood what Liu Yi meant, but he also hesitated, "I haven't made those things for a long time now, and my craftsmanship is rusty" didn't say or not, but his words were refusal.

After thinking about it, I thought, "I remember that I seem to have one at home, but the appearance is already rusty, and it is still the jar that was originally used to make soup, and it even has a lid." ”

Originally, there was no hope when I heard what he meant, but after the last time, he threw out a life-saving straw" Liu Yi's heart was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, and his heart fainted. Anyway, it's not for food, as long as it can be used. Hurry up and agree to come down.

The old man was not far from the shop, so he went back after a while, handed it to Liu Yi, and didn't ask him what he was for, "Look, can you use it?" ”

Looking at the tin can, there was indeed a thick layer of rust on the outside. There may be a lid that covers the mouth of the can tightly, and it looks pretty good inside. Ask, "Uncle, how much do you think of this thing?" ”

"If you don't have any money, you can take it, I can't imagine that it will be useful after putting it for so long, so let's take it with your eyes."

Well, I didn't expect to meet such a talkative old man when I bought an iron can. Liu Yi still felt a little indebted, and when he saw that the uncle's index finger and middle finger were burnt yellow, he went to the small shop next to him to buy two packs of ten-yuan cigarettes. "Uncle, I'm not polite to you anymore, I took your jar. These two packs of cigarettes are not expensive, and I mean, what do you think? ”

The old man looked at Liu Yi, "I didn't expect it, your young man is interesting, hehe, I took the cigarettes, and when I want to use iron guys in the future, tell me, don't look at me, I'm just an iron shop, many of the apprentices I brought out are working in steel mills" The old man said proudly.

"Okay, I'll be looking for you if there's something." Liu Yi picked up the tin can and walked home with a big grin.

On the way back, Liu Yi went to buy a lot of things, a gas stove, a gas canister, and a brush, ready to get the rusty iron can a little. Everything is ready, everything is ready, only the raw materials are missing.

After a boring day at home, his eldest cousin-in-law Qian Jun called in the afternoon, saying that everything was ready, and he would drive back early tomorrow morning, and call Liu Yi when he arrived.

Anxiously waited for another day, the next morning Liu Yi took a car to the highway intersection, called and asked, Qian Jun's cousin-in-law also set off, he drove by himself from Zunyi, Guizhou to the mountain city only two hours.

But if Liu Yi goes to take a long-distance bus, it will be more troublesome, the bus has a set departure time every day, and the long-distance bus that has to be driven from Luoshi Town, Liu Yi has to go to the city to get on it. Thinking about things in his heart, time flies quickly, and when he is bored, he uses his mobile phone to pass the time, and he doesn't think that he has to wait long, Qian Jun's cousin-in-law told him that it is almost there, Liu Yi mentions his spirits, but don't miss it, and recall that the license plate number of his pickup truck is easier to remember. After a while, he saw the shadow of the pickup truck, and hurriedly stretched out his arm to the side of the road to wave, and his cousin-in-law also saw Liu Yi, and the car slowly stopped to the side.

"Why did you come here, you can tell me a location, I'll send it to you," the cousin-in-law said politely.

"That's it, I'll tell my friend about it. Just ask him to arrange for the car to come and get it directly. In order to make his cousin-in-law not suspicious, Liu Yi told a lie to his eldest cousin-in-law.

"That's right, that's fine. I kind of went beforehand. "When I came back from Zunyi, there must be something, so I drove away after speaking.

Liu Yi himself didn't go back by car, he just put down so many ores, all of which were packed in woven bags, and when he looked closely, there were six bags in total, and he carried them by hand, and each bag was one or twenty catties. I hailed a tricycle, asked him to take me to the building where I lived in the town, gave me the money, and moved it back and forth several times until I finally moved all the ore to the roof.

Everything was ready, Liu Yi connected the gas tank and gas stove that were brought up with the ore with a gas pipe first, and tried to make a few fires, why couldn't they burn? Damn, I forgot to open the gas valve of the gas tank. I was dizzy, patted my head, opened the gas valve, and after a few fires, I succeeded.

The tin cans I bought, Liu Yi also cleaned them a little with a wire brush, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye anyway. Thinking about the steps described in the book, looking at so many various ores, God, there are not so many at all.

Just pick up a few pieces, add them together to get a lot of tin cans, and the vegetable garden that tried the test is not much bigger, this time it is all handmade, less is less, I don't care how much I care about the result. According to the content written in the anonymous old book, I carefully checked the name of the ore, and then put it into the iron pipe one by one according to the proportion.

Modern people know that the grass ash is originally a kind of farmhouse fertilizer, and its main component is potassium carbonate. Potassium carbonate is a strong alkali and weak salt, which is hydrolyzed in water to produce OH- ions, and plant ash is a kind of potash fertilizer widely used in rural areas. The main component of plant ash is potassium, which is an organic fertilizer rich in potassium, calcium and phosphorus, and also contains a small amount of trace elements such as boron, aluminum and manganese.

How can there be anything in the town, there is no way, Liu Yi had to go to the outskirts of the town and grab a few handfuls of straw from a farmer, fortunately, this thing is not valuable, there are everywhere in the countryside. The farmer didn't care about it, and asked him if it was enough. Not much to say, anyway, step by step, it takes two hours to heat, turn on the gas stove, and control the fire to simmer. (I haven't heard of martial fire refining, hehe), add an appropriate amount of water to it, and don't worry about it.

The two hours have arrived, and Liu Yi, who has time to go out and go around, returned to the roof on time, there was a door on the roof, and now Liu Yi has added a lock, and he is not afraid of anyone coming up.

I opened the lid of the tin can with anticipation, and a hot smell came out, and I couldn't tell the smell, how exciting it was, and you believed it when it smelled good? Hurriedly turn off the heat to prevent the smell from spreading too far if the heat continues, and it will not be good to attract the attention of others. Then it's just a matter of waiting for it to cool down.

Liu Yi took the stone pang that had been prepared in advance, and tested the temperature of the ore in the iron pipe, but it was no longer hot, and he didn't care. I poured it into the groove of the stone spoon one by one, a little too much, and got some out, and it seems that it can only be done by licking it twice. Lick it, Liu Yi lifted the stone pole, and scooped it up one by one, the ore was still very hard, and he rushed hard for half an hour, as if he had not achieved any results, and the ore was broken into a few pieces. This can't be done, Liu Yi thought in his heart, and he couldn't think of a good way to think about it.

Depressed, he had to go to the street to vent his depression, otherwise he would panic when he saw the ore piled up there. Stop and go, look at the black bean flower restaurant on the side of the street, it is a very distinctive bean flower restaurant, very famous in Luoshi Town, and occasionally Liu Yi's family entertains guests here. Unlike other bean curd restaurants, the bean curd here is made by machine, but by stone milling, so the taste is unique.

Thinking about it, Liu Yi only felt that he had found the key place, mechanical production. "Ha Lu Ha" laughed three times in his heart, it was really good to go out for a walk. If you feel that the particles are large, you can also use a stone grinder, Liu Yi participated in the exhibition of integrated motorcycles and general machines when he went to work and sales, and he also saw it in the exhibition hall. There is also a market in Shancheng that specializes in selling this type of machinery.

It's better to act than to act. Liu Yi went straight to the machinery market without saying a word, if what the book said was true, it would be used in the future. Even if it doesn't work, it won't cost much, so you should fight for your own fate.

Waiting for the follow-up

(The above is pure fiction, not engaged in the fertilizer industry, only a general understanding of the industry knowledge, if there is no rigor, I hope to propose, thank you!) )
