The applause of the onlookers became more and more enthusiastic, the children also clapped their hands while jumping, and the nervous onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and laughter immediately filled the entire cave.

However, at this time, Mr. Zhao's work was not finished, and he quickly fished out a viscous colloidal substance from a heated iron bucket, which was boiled out by Lao Zhu in the pasture after crushing pigskin, cowhide, and various livestock bones - gelatin.

It is also mixed with talcum powder, kaolin and rust powder.

Mr. Zhao carefully applied this cloudy colloid to the silver foil with a brush as a protective layer.

After a few processes, the main body of a mirror was completed in his hands.

Zhao Xihe picked up the glass piece and flipped it over, and Mr. Zhao in the mirror grinned, well, that's it, it's done!

The cave erupted in applause again, and everyone cheered......

That night, the conference room was brightly lit, and many people spontaneously gathered there to discuss things, mainly from the Fire Pond Club, but also with others, even the Vegetable Garden Club, with whom it was rare to discuss things.

The successful trial production of sugar and glass products opened the door to a new world for the travelers, which was of great significance, so in the cave, various discussions were sparked on the spot, and various ambitious plans were born......

However, in stark contrast, the members of the chemical group are a little unhappy at this moment, probably because the process of making the mirror is a little tortuous, and the dignified chemical group almost stumped the ordinary chemical of soda ash, which makes the members a little uneasy.

Not only that, the chemical team has long been aware of a problem, in the raw materials of the silver mirror reaction, in addition to the auxiliary raw materials such as maltose and gelatin, only seaweed grass ash can barely replace soda ash, and key chemical raw materials such as ammonia nitrate are from the old world, considering that the current output of glass mirrors is not large, the old world materials in the cave can also be handled, but this is certainly not a long-term solution.

At this time, the members of the chemical team realized that with the arrival of industrial projects one by one, the burden on them would become heavier and heavier.

Mr. Zhao believes that around glass and sugar production, related chemical projects should be started earlier, and the scale of mirror making will be expanded in the future, and it is impossible to rely on cave materials and even nitric acid and various disinfectants in the infirmary to make mirrors.

The chemical group first thought of ammonia, which is obviously a basic chemical raw material that is most needed at present and in the future, and the conclusion of the chemical industry group is that if we need a real silver mirror reaction to create a high-quality glass mirror, the organic chemical industry must also plan in advance.

So Mr. Zhao and the members of the chemical industry group briefly discussed and announced in front of the cheering crowd in the cave, please don't be too optimistic, because I don't know if you realize that the current silver mirror reaction, almost all the key raw materials we can't make ourselves at present, so our chemical group will first propose to the plenary session the construction project, including coal and coke chemical industry, and please support it at that time.

In the face of the crowd that gradually quieted down, Mr. Zhao, on behalf of the chemical engineering group, said that the relevant industrial projects that will be described below are somewhat complicated, but we must also make it clear to you here.

First of all, the goal of the chemical group is to complete the installation of equipment for a coal dry distillation production line by the end of the year, so that the production of ammonia can be gradually started, as for the self-production of nitric acid, if you can bring us saltpeter before the end of the year, we will install a special sulfuric acid method to make nitric acid equipment, although the process is backward, but it is still very easy for us to use, because we can make nitric acid because of the simplicity, but because of this, The colleagues in the metallurgical group must install the pyrite boiling furnace in the karst cave in place, so that we can have the conditions for production.

Of course, although this is complicated, we think it is worthwhile to take this opportunity to start our tri-acid and dialkali chemical industry.

Of course, if everyone thinks that this is too much of a toss, then we can only go to the arc nitric acid production equipment in the cave, but we need to build a hydropower station or thermal power station with a power generation capacity of more than 100 kilowatt hours to supply electricity.

Please consider and discuss the specific plan to be adopted, and we will soon formally submit the bill to the plenary meeting.

The on-site discussion in the cave ended quickly, and everyone still had a lot of work to do, but Mr. Zhao's speech on behalf of the chemical group did play a role, and at the subsequent plenary meeting, the construction plan of the coal dry distillation production line of the chemical group and the pyrite boiling furnace of the metallurgical group was successfully passed without any deletions.

So, immediately afterwards, Wang Gong, Boss Luo, Quan Zhenhai and Holley also put forward a plan to build an equipment maintenance plant and an iron-smelting plant on behalf of the machinery group and the metallurgical group respectively, and the time was also before the end of the year.

There is no doubt that this is an ambitious plan from the industrialists, and of course, the premise is that there is a certain number of workers.

This is because this time of sea trade not long after, Captain Gu has promised to provide labor for Lao Wang's agriculture and Lao Zhu's animal husbandry, obviously, this matter is no secret.

Therefore, this made a group of industrialists deeply stimulated, and they also found Captain Gu and Li Sanduo and others, asking to treat Lao Wang and Lao Zhu equally, and bring some labor back more or less, and they all emphasized again and again: No matter what means you take, there is no limit to men and women! As long as you can do it, there is no age limit!

Captain Gu felt a little embarrassed by this, for himself, what kind of situation he would face when he went to sea this time was completely unknown, and there was no point in agreeing or not agreeing!

Of course, Captain Gu was obviously not indifferent to everyone's requests, and he immediately responded to everyone's demands in terms of specific actions.

On the second day after the trial production of the glass factory, Gu Jin made a request to the executive committee to resume sailing training, especially the Pride as soon as possible.

In addition, it is necessary to seize the remaining time to let the students further familiarize themselves with the Nicole. Then they were grouped according to their training to determine the crew list of the Nicole and Pride.

Gu Jin also proposed that the plenary meeting immediately meet to discuss the preparation of trade goods and materials for this voyage.

For this reason, the plenary session was made an exception and was not held on a Sunday, but instead of taking up a working day.

On 24 May, the plenary session was held in the afternoon of the same day, and the topics of the meeting quickly focused on two aspects: first, the preparation of materials for the ocean-going voyage, and second, the shipping routes and target ports.

The first thing to discuss was the preparation of trade goods and supplies. By now, the eleven tons of sugar that had been produced must have been loaded onto the ship. However, when it came to identifying the trade items in the supermarket, it took some pains to find them.

First of all, Xia Xiaoou made a list on behalf of the Living Materials Committee, which only contained some glassware, glass mirrors, iron, porcelain pots and pans and other daily necessities, and the varieties were very simple.

For this reason, Xia Xiaoou explained that these supermarket materials have theoretically been allocated to everyone's private names, so which ones to take out and which ones to leave have to seek personal opinions, and the quantity and variety are very complicated, which need to be determined one by one.

Of course, everyone has a consensus that in order to open up market channels for this sea, and also to test market demand, it is also necessary to put materials from supermarkets on the market.

But since these things have been attributed to the individual, it is natural to obtain everyone's authorization and consent to take them out and sell them for silver now.

So Xia Xiaoou announced that the final decision of the living goods management committee was that after the sale of these trade goods, the income would not be credited to the individual's name, but to a fund, and everyone in this fund would have equal shares.

Obviously, it is impossible to calculate the specific trade cost now, but because it has entered a fund pool, there is meat and rotten in the pot, so the cost accounting or something can be said later.
