In fact, after receiving the news of the completion and start of the ammonia plant, Eder rushed to Ploiesti early the next morning and arrived at the ammonia plant at noon.

In fact, the ammonia plant is located next to the refinery, which is only separated by a wall, mainly to use the exhaust gas produced by the oil refining, which is also one of the raw gases for ammonia. In addition, the associated natural gas, which is produced only by extracting crude oil, can also be used as a raw material for synthetic ammonia, which was considered when building an ammonia plant before.

After receiving the news that Eder had rushed to the ammonia plant non-stop, a group of factory managers led by the plant director Vlossev rushed to the door to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness welcomes you."

After seeing the arrival of the crown prince, the director of the factory Vilosev hurriedly led a group of factory personnel to greet His Royal Highness the crown prince.

Eder got out of the car and looked at the director of the Velosev plant in front of him, and he knew the man in front of him. After studying at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany's best chemical university, and with good grades, he was appointed as the deputy director in charge of technology at the Fokshani chemical plant (a chemical plant built on loan from Germany), during which he worked hard to improve the utilization rate of potash in the chemical plant, and was seen by Eder, so he was appointed as the director of the ammonia plant.

Eder said to the director of the plant Vilosev. "Let's go in and have a look."

In October last year, Germany built the world's first synthetic ammonia plant capable of producing 30 tons of ammonia per day, and Romania, which is twice as large as Germany, was left behind because the equipment needed to be imported from Germany and could withstand 200 atmospheres of pressure at that time, so it was delayed until now.

"Your Highness, this is our raw material compressor."

Director Vylosev pointed to the compressor in front of him and explained the workflow to Crown Prince Eder. "THIS IS TO PASS A SMALL AMOUNT OF NATURAL GAS THROUGH A COMPRESSOR TO 4MPA, AND THEN MIX IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SYNGAS TO HEAT IT INTO THE HYDROGENATION REACTOR."

Eder listened to the explanation of the director of the plant Vilosev with relish, in fact, he had long forgotten this little knowledge of chemistry, but it did not affect his knowledge that the synthesis of ammonia had a significant impact on the development of the entire chemical process. And now synthetic ammonia can also increase Romania's crop yields, which is of great effect on Romania.

The director of the Velosev plant took Crown Prince Eder to explain a series of chemical terms such as reformer furnace, high-temperature converter, carbon dioxide absorption tower, etc., which made Eder listen to it with a lot of emotion. However, in order to show that he attaches great importance to the synthetic ammonia factory, he still made a serious expression all the way and endured the bombardment of various professional chemical terms.

At the last place to visit, under the ammonia synthesis tower, where the director of the plant Wilosev explained the whole process, Eder also saw the employees here transporting pressure-resistant cylinders filled with liquid ammonia one by one. Seeing the current scene, Eder was very satisfied, and he worked hard for it in vain.

"How much ammonia can be produced per day now?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Edel asked about the yield he cared about.

"Your Highness, because we have only just started production, we can only produce 42 tons per day now. But just give me four months, and I'll get the plant to the capacity it was designed for. ”

The director of the Velosev plant said that after the production capacity appeared, he did not forget to give assurances to Eder.

"Director Vilosev, you need to recruit more workers."

After hearing the assurances of the director of the plant, Eder told him about his plans. "We have more than one ammonia plant, and the current output is completely insufficient to meet Romanian demand. So you need to train more ammonia workers for Romania, and I expect that in three years Romania will need to increase the scale of ammonia tenfold to basically meet Romania's demand. ”

After hearing the words of the crown prince, the director of the plant Vilosev was excited. Although he will build an ammonia plant, he is sure that at least half of the new production capacity will fall on him, thanks to the abundant oil and gas resources in Ploiesti, so that he can be called the godfather of Romania's chemical industry. This is an irresistible temptation for Vylosev, who has always specialized in chemical engineering.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely let the current employees get familiar with the work at hand as soon as possible, and then recruit new workers, and I will definitely not let the new factory be left without skilled workers and management."

Looking at the emotional Velosev in front of him, Eder decided to tell him about his knowledge of chemical engineering, which he still had a little impression of. "Director of the Velosev plant, you can't just do the ammonia synthesis process, you also need to explore the use of ammonia more, I think there is still the possibility of improving the current ammonia fertilizer, maybe the synthesis reaction of ammonia and other chemical raw materials can allow us to get more fertilizer, such as carbon dioxide or something, etc......."

After saying what little knowledge he had about chemical engineering, Eder refused the request of the director of the factory to have lunch at the factory. It's not that he can't eat in the factory anymore, because he wants to meet the mayor of Dorel, who is now Ploiesti.

The mayor of Dorel took over after Karaturi was transferred to Bucharest, but he was able to grow Ploiesti from the fifth largest city (187648 people) when he took over to the third largest city (275611 people). The top two cities in Romania are Bucharest (787067 people) and Constanta (578101 people), which shows the population movement brought about by Romania's industrialization.

Although Ploiesti has a good petrochemical industry and machinery manufacturing, two industries strongly supported by the Romanian government, it cannot be denied the performance of his ability, the most direct evidence is that the current per capita annual income of Ploiesti has increased from 698 lei when he took over to 884 lei now. With an increase of 26 per cent, he ranks among the top four counties and cities in Romania, which can be regarded as a very competent official.

Of course, Eder likes this kind of capable official, and he wishes that he had such capable people under him, and he could rest assured. In fact, the selection of Romanian officials is now quite good, which is still thanks to the memory of Eder's previous life, in which various civil service examinations and systematic training in administrative schools have sent too many talents to the country.

Now, under the influence of Crown Prince Eder, Romania is gradually improving in this direction. Among them, the latest evaluation of government officials in Romania has added the assessment of the local gross domestic product and per capita income. Moreover, Romania also started the civil service examination last year to attract a large number of aspiring young people to join the government, but because these people are still at the bottom of the hierarchy, it is not effective, but as time goes by, those old-school officials will be replaced sooner or later.

Moreover, Eder plans to establish an administrative academy next year for these new government recruits to train more and improve the government's executive power. This will allow the government to better coordinate Romania's resources, so that the territories seized after World War I can be better integrated into Romania in the future.

"Your Highness has arrived at the town hall, and Mayor Dorrell is waiting at the door with the city officials."

A report interrupted Eder's thoughts.

Eder, who was sitting in the car, said to the guards outside the car who reminded him. "Got it, I'll come out."

"I've seen Your Highness."

Seeing the crown prince walking out of the car door, Mayor Dorrell stepped forward with key government officials to greet him.

Looking at the Ploiesti officials who were saluting him, Eder waved at them. "Alright, let's go inside."

With that, Edel walked up to Mayor Dorel, who led him into the town hall.

"Welcome Your Highness to Ploiesti."

After leading Edel to City Hall, Mayor Dorrell uttered words of welcome. In fact, in addition to staying in the capital Bucharest, Eder went to Constanta the most, and for the current third largest city, Ploiesti was transferred to Karaturi very little.

"I am very happy with the development of Ploiesti, your population has grown by almost 100,000 in just four years, and your per capita income has increased by a quarter. These are the results of your efforts, and I would like to thank you all and hope that Ploiesti will develop even better in the days to come. ”

As Crown Prince Eder's words fell, the officials present all had excited expressions. They felt the goodwill from the crown prince and believed that as long as they did not make any big mistakes, they would have good development in the future.

After seeing the expressions of the officials in front of him, Edel continued. "Of course, we will not forget the meritorious people among them."

At this time, Eder took out a royal knight medal from his coat pocket and spoke to Mayor Dorel. "This knighthood is in recognition of your contribution to it."

In the face of the sudden Royal Knight Medal, other government officials looked at Mayor Dorel with envy, although he had not yet been promoted to a higher position, but the meaning of this Royal Knight Medal was very clear to the officials present, which meant that Mayor Dorrell had been recognized by the crown prince, which was a great opportunity. Now who can not know that the crown prince is now in sole power, and the prime minister Bretianu can only do things by getting the power given to him by the crown prince, and if he does not give this prime minister, there is no way at all.

"This medal is too valuable, and my current merits are completely indecent."

Faced with this knightly medal that made the hearts of all the officials present, Mayor Dorrell resisted the temptation to speak. It's not that he doesn't know how rare this opportunity is, but now he thinks that if he gets it, it will stand out in the government and not be conducive to future development.

In the face of Mayor Dorel's resignation, Eder certainly won't take it back, he continued. "This is to let everyone know that the country will not forget everyone who has paid for it, so it must be accepted."

"Thank Your Highness for your love for me, and I will make Ploiesti even better in the future."

After hearing the crown prince's words, Mayor Dorrell knew that he had to accept this knightly medal, otherwise it would be a sign of dissatisfaction with the royal family. In fact, after he said the words of resignation at the beginning, he regretted it, after all, if he was misunderstood by the crown prince, then he was really wronged.

Eder placed the medal on Mayor Dorel's chest and patted him on the shoulder in encouragement. "If you work hard and make a greater contribution to Romania in the future, you will be able to bridge the gap in the region."

A young man in his twenties patted a middle-aged man who was almost forty years old on the shoulder to encourage him, and none of the people present felt that there was a discordant picture.

After awarding the medal to Mayor Dorrell, Eder also met with the officials of the town hall one by one, and every official who received him was careful to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. From here, it can be seen that Eder's prestige in Romania is now very much due to the fact that Romania has developed economically and militarily well under the leadership of the crown prince in recent years.

Moreover, in the Second Balkan War, it established its position as the first among the Balkan countries in one fell swoop. These achievements are inseparable from the key figure in it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
