The main battle gun type "28 big cover" that crossed the forces was in the early morning of the fourth day after it was finalized.

On the sea surface of the Taijiang River, Qin Ming was sitting on a beautiful streamlined soft-sail traffic boat and was hurrying to Dayuan Island.

Qin Ming is a native of Shaanxi. This gentleman first worked as a technician in a reagent factory, and later opened a reagent glass shop in the county seat, and then Brother Qin's relatives contracted to the mine, so Qin Ming began to work as a blaster to produce mine explosives part-time.

How to produce it? Of course, I bought fertilizer and made it myself. At that time, Qin Ming was producing, bombing mines, and selling them to other bosses, and the business was quite good.

Then there was a tragedy - the earth explosives blew up an underworld mine boss along with BMW, Xiaosan, and 5 miners. Qin Ming saw that the situation was not good, and ran away decisively...... The stone mine headquarters and public security that originally hated Baidao have now offended even the underworld, and they can't run away.

Originally, he went to the poorly supervised African mines to continue to work, but as a result, Qin Ming has now become the deputy general manager of the Dayuan Weapons Corporation and the manager of the explosives branch.

......

Two days ago, when the gang was arguing over guns, Qin Ming didn't show his face at all. It's none of my business...... No matter what weapon he uses, he still has to produce black powder here. He was also busy supervising the workers to build the factory, and he didn't have time to deal with those ticket holders.

Needless to say, the factory building allocated to the explosives company is the most remote and the requirements are relatively high, so Qin Ming has been nesting in the mountain recess in the north of the kiln area recently, until he received a notice last night: a meeting will be held early this morning.

"It's time to make a request, hum!" Qin Ming was sitting on the traffic boat at the moment, enjoying the cool sea breeze on the surface of the Taijiang River, and thought with great ambition.

According to the procedure, it must be so. Now that the model of the gun and cannon has been chosen, the next step will definitely be to discuss the issue of ammunition. And when it comes to ammunition, whether it is the fire cap and black powder used by the army, or the future mine explosives in the kiln area, they are all inseparable from his old man's explosives company.

"So, what are you asking for today?" Qin Ming looked at the Dayuan Wharf that was getting closer and closer, and began to plan: "The eldest girl will come first 10, and the younger daughter-in-law will also have 10, well, and then 10 middle-aged women with steady hands and feet will do chores, and the early stage will be almost the same." ”

......

Women are more suitable for the production of explosives that require patience, and everyone understands this. Qin Ming plans to take advantage of this today, and first give his factory a vote for the female workers who are now in short supply.

After coming to the merchant hall and pushing open the door of the small office, Qin Ming was stunned for a moment: the room was already full of people, and it seemed that he was missing the protagonist.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that there are so many departments here today, it seems that the comrades still have some understanding of the importance of explosives, well, not bad." Qin Ming nodded and greeted everyone while taking a seat, feeling happy in his heart.

After sitting down, Qin Ming was even more satisfied: not only Xia Zhongtang came, but Feng Jun and Feng Ge, who were in charge of internal affairs, were actually there, Sima Zekai at the top Needless to say, Professor Luo of the Port Authority was also present, Lu Sheng, Liu Zhe and Han Xiaobo, and there were many military bigwigs.

The more Qin Ming looked at it at this time, the more satisfied he became, well, very good, Zou Guoqing and Yao Zhesheng, the pair of directors and deputy directors of the kiln area, are also there, and they will solve the equipment problem by the way...... Not bad, good, good...... Well, Liang Letian and Mi Shuo, the mud legs of the two agricultural companies, actually came, and it is estimated that they came to the meeting to subsidize them...... Well? Liang Lotian and Mi Shuo?

Just when Qin Ming noticed that something was wrong, Xia Xianze, who was sitting at the top of the long table in the small conference room, coughed and began to speak: "Well, everyone is together, then we will officially start the meeting." The main topic of today's meeting is to discuss and solve the problems of the three major fertilizers in agriculture, and by the way, we will discuss some other topics. ”

"As you know, agriculture is the foundation of a political regime, and the so-called unstable ...... without agriculture" When Xia was sitting on the top and talking, he found that he was Qin Ming, who was classified as "other topics", and he was already sluggish.

......

The so-called three major fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

The most important of these is nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer is the most abundant fertilizer variety produced and used in chemical fertilizers, and in later generations, nitrogen fertilizers are usually in the form of urea, diamine, and ammonium bicarbonate.

The main purpose of today's meeting is to determine the channels for obtaining nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture in the future, and to solve the problem of explosives by the way.

Nitrogen can be turned into urea or nitric acid. Nitric acid, on the other hand, is the mother of the arms industry, from the primitive saltpeter to the sophisticated "nitrification" process, from black powder to black gold, "nitrification" is the pre-process of all explosives.

Although nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere, early humans were unable to produce nitrogen compounds. Until the middle of the 18th century, the only way humans could obtain nitrogen was through the collection of saltpeter, a naturally precipitated nitrogen compound from toilets and pigsty corners.

By the middle of the 18th century, when the Chilean saltpeter mines were discovered, the great powers finally had a stable supply of saltpeter.

It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that human beings freely produced ammonia gas for the first time through the synthetic ammonia process invented by the Germans, regardless of location and time.

All in all, pile up manure nitrate, dig saltpeter mines, and synthesize ammonia...... How to choose these three routes from easy to difficult, from dick silk to tall, is the problem to be solved by crossing the public today.

......

"Let's talk about synthetic ammonia first, is there a drama in the end, and the industrial sector is making a statement?" After Xia Xianze talked a few words about the importance of urea to agriculture, he quickly turned his attention to Zou Guoqing and Yao Zhesheng, the two directors and deputy directors of the kiln area.

Probably because the superior has been in office for a long time, Lao Zou is no longer as sharp as he used to be. Hearing the boss's question, Zou Guoqing raised his eyebrows, and then turned his head to signal Comrade Yao Zhesheng to come out.

Comrade Yao Zhesheng didn't have so many concerns, and he opened his mouth to come: "It's not impossible to synthesize ammonia, it's impossible." ”

Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand and made a special gesture for the Eight Roads: "8-10 years, this is the most optimistic estimate." Without such a long period of development, don't think about synthetic ammonia. ”

......

"A synthetic ammonia plant is a steel Tallinn with high temperature and high pressure, filled with all kinds of flammable, explosive, and toxic gas liquids." After a few sentences, Yao Zhesheng began to explain: "Don't say that those high-pressure pressure vessels, pipelines, even the most ordinary valves, the kiln area can't be built at the moment. If all the equipment has to rely on 'imports', even a small synthetic ammonia plant will not be able to save the necessary equipment in half a year. ”

"In addition, including catalysts, reagents, lubricating oils, methanol, rubber, valves, hydrogen, oxygen...... And so on all kinds of raw materials and spare parts including supplies, we can't produce them ourselves, so the follow-up supplies will occupy most of the import quota every month. ”

After ......hearing this, the people present booed in unison, and everyone knew that based on Yao Zhesheng's last sentence, synthetic ammonia must be no fun.

Yao Zhesheng smiled at this time and added: "Even if the equipment is complete, a small synthetic ammonia factory, workers who do not have hundreds of junior high school diplomas or above, plus 20 chemical traversers, can't play at all, so if you have to force it to get on the horse, just wait for two poison gas bombs in three days." ”

Finally, Yao Zhesheng concluded: "Synthetic ammonia is an industrial pearl, just like a car engine, without the support of a huge basic industry, even if a factory falls from the sky, it cannot be operated, and can only be abandoned there." ”

......

"Okay, okay, I think everyone understands." Xia Xianze came forward in time to stop this product and hit everyone's confidence again.

After knocking on the table with his hand, Xia Xianze turned his head and asked: "The factory seems to have no hope, so what about the mine, is it possible to purchase a large number of goods?" ”

"Ahem... This one can't be either. Professor Luo, director of the Port Authority, who was sitting on the side, began to speak at this time: "Don't think about it for the time being on the Chilean side, you want to cross the Pacific." The nearest Indian saltpeter mine to us is not reliable at the moment, and we can only rely on the Dutch to piggyback some from time to time. The same is true for the Ming Dynasty, which can purchase a part from time to time, but it can only be used as a supplement, not as a stable, large source of saltpeter. ”

"Alas, then there is no way, it seems that we can only honestly pile up the nitrate field first." When Xia Xianze said this, he turned his head to Liang Letian and Mi Shuo, the representatives of the two agricultural companies, and said with a pleasant face: "For the time being, it can only be like this, right?" ”

Liang Letian and Mi Shuo nodded at the same time...... The conditions are limited, and the two of them can't do anything to make it difficult for them.

"Well, since it's decided, let's take action." At this time, Xia Xianze said to a Si Swenwen on the right, wearing gold-rimmed glasses: "Hurry up and hang the recruitment notice from the Internet, and see who is willing to be the head of this nitrate." ”

This person's name is Deng Xin, and he is the director of the big office, responsible for managing the network, and sending and receiving daily documents.

Seeing Deng Xin's nod, Xia Xianze added: "The construction of nitrate fields is given priority in an all-round way, all equipment, personnel and materials are prioritized, and those who take office must quickly come up with a construction report." ”

“...... That, if it's nitrate, I'll send someone here to control some of it. Comrade Qin Ming, who was as fierce as a dog before entering the door and as cowardly as a dog after entering the door, finally ended the silent posture that he had maintained after entering the door, and interjected in a low voice.

"Huh?"

"That's... On my side, we need a part of the nitrate field to spread plant ash regularly, so that the potassium nitrate can be harvested directly, and after purification, it will be used to make explosives. ”

"Oh...... Well, I think it's okay, and explosives are also necessary. You can allocate a part of the nitrate field to you, and you can communicate with the person in charge when the time comes. Xia Xianze thought about it, nodded and agreed.

Comrade Qin Ming's great cause was finally completed in one sentence. As for the additional items of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, Comrade Qin Ming wisely did not open his mouth at the meeting - fools know that in this situation, it is not appropriate to mention this!
