155th King Pharmaceutical Factory

"Your Excellency Marquis, I always thought we were friends, but now it seems that it is completely my wishful thinking, you don't regard me as a friend at all, this is so sad!"

It was none other than Lavoisier who was tormented to study how to maintain the stability of nitroglycerin.

The nitroglycerin he was refining now was so unstable that Lavoisier was horrified to find that the instability of this nitroglycerin had reached a terrible level, and even if it was only gently shaken, or even exposed to a slightly stronger sunlight, it would explode violently.

Since moving the laboratory to the outskirts of Paris, Lavoisier has experienced three explosions, killing one apprentice and injuring eight, and once Lavoisier was so sleepy that he would have had to be reimbursed if he had washed his face.

As for his imagination, since nitroglycerin is unstable, he will take it to the mine, and it will not be possible to use it on the spot for on-site refining, because you will have to manually transport it for a distance after refining, right?

After reimbursing more than three workers, the miners near Paris have sternly rejected Lavoisier's continued promotion.

It was too uncomfortable for a chemist who loved money, and Lovassier could not conquer him with a world name and a fortune in front of him.

So after hearing the news that Ye Kai and the king, queen and a large number of nobles jointly opened a pharmaceutical factory, he ran over with a whining and a tearful cry!

Now Ye Kai's newly built factory of diethylxmorphine and berberine is the first breaking news in Europe, and within two weeks after the Duke of Segur tried the drug, they found 50 more people to test the drug, and the results have achieved incredibly good results!

For a time, the news that the Seris had invented a miracle drug that could treat tuberculosis spread throughout Europe.

Coupled with berberine's good treatment effect on enteritis and other bacterial diseases, it directly shocked the entire European medical community, and the factory, named King Pharmaceuticals, has become the focus of attention throughout Europe, and correspondingly, all kinds of powerful people from all walks of life have come to the hospital.

Ye Kai's current shares have been diluted to seven percent, and even the combined shares of Louis XVI and Queen Mary have only been kept less than twenty percent, because the effect of this berberine is so amazing, as long as there is a little strength, they are staring at it!

Now the shareholders of the King's Pharmaceutical Factory have grown from four to more than 30, including Carlos III of the Bourbon dynasty of Spain, King Ferdinand IV of Naples, the queen's brother Emperor Joseph II of the HRE, a large number of Habsburgs and Bourbon kings.

But Ye Kai did not lose anything, he gave up his shares in exchange for a fortune of up to 900,000 lifolks, and he was also accepted by the royal families on the European continent and guaranteed his safety.

And Ye Kai knows that these people can't take possession of this factory for long, because the French Revolution that is about to break out will definitely take the factory for themselves, and cash out in advance to spare Ye Kai, and there will be no loss at all!

It's just that he estimated that because of the factory, the foreign intervention caused by the French Revolution in the future will definitely be more intense!

"That's it! Antoine, we will always be best friends, you believe me, you have seen it, I myself have been kicked out of the factory, I almost can't even keep my identity as a shareholder, this drug is so amazing that scientists like us can't have it alone! ”

Ye Kai appeased Lavoisier, and by the way, he put on an unwilling look of subordination, Lavoisier nodded sympathetically, he put himself in his shoes, if he made such a shocking invention, and was finally sent away by only 900,000 miles of Fuer, it would definitely be unwilling.

What a fortune that must be! Before the plant was built, more than 1.5 million miles of orders had already been received, and the delivery deadline was already three months away, and the factory in The Hague, Netherlands, and Vienna, Austria, also started construction.

"But Antoine, I think I already have some direction for the problem you mentioned about nitroglycerin, and from now on, I will study with you how to control the stability of nitroglycerin!"

After being silent for a long time, Ye Kai pulled Lavoisier into a tavern and began to discuss the future development.

The method he knew how to maintain the stability of nitroglycerin, of course, was the same method used by the later Nobel Prize, which mixed nitroglycerin with diatomaceous earth.

After absorbing nitroglycerin and turning into yellow diatomaceous earth, the stability will be greatly increased, whether it is smashed with a hammer or a fire point, it will not explode, and it can only be detonated with a detonator.

As for the element of silicon, which has not yet been discovered, Lavoisier will predict its existence until next year, and he is the first person to propose the element of silicon.

In the future, Ye Kai will be responsible for providing direction, and the specific ideas and research will be completed by Lavoisier, and the diluted nitroglycerin has a good therapeutic effect on coronary heart disease, which can also be studied.

The reason why Ye Kai was willing to give the combination of nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth to Lavoisier was because he had discovered a more perfect golden finger, that is, trinitrophenol, commonly known as picric acid.

It was invented back in 1771 and can now be easily obtained chemically.

But no one paid attention to it and discovered its usefulness, and it wasn't until 1849 that it came into use, not as explosives, but as yellow fuel for dyeing silk.

This use is more than 20 years, and in 1871, a worker in a French dyeing workshop encountered a barrel of bitter acid that could not be opened, so he chose to smash it with a hammer, and this time, with a loud noise, the workers of the entire dyeing workshop followed the spiral!

After this accident, people found that picric acid could explode, and the power was not enough, after repeated experiments, picric acid explosives began to be used in large quantities in the military.

Of course, Ye Kai knew the name and power of picric acid, and he would now wait for Lavoisier to train qualified chemical talents for him, and then return to Guangnan to start experiments, which would be Ye Kai's weapon against the Xishan Dynasty and even the Manchu Dynasty.

It's just that what Ye Kai, who is imagining the future, doesn't know that in this situation where everyone seems to be happy, a rush of resentment continues to accumulate as soon as the pharmaceutical factory is completed and the efficacy of the medicine is blown out.

The source of resentment is none other than my empire across the Channel.

This time, Louis XVI invited the kings of various European countries to invest in the pharmaceutical company, but did not invite King George III of England.

Ye Kai was right, the French really used berberine as a diplomatic weapon, using it to unite European countries, and rejecting the British from the European continent!

How could the glorious European-stirring stick allow France to unite the leading countries of the continent?

If the French had united the European continent, how would they have survived Great Britain?

There is no stirring stick that can be stirred, it is worthless.
