While Eder was waiting for the Balkan countries to deliver their ideas, a piece of news from Germany made Eder have to wait for news. In Germany, Professor Hartz has finally solved the problem of the industrialization of synthetic ammonia, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is holding a telegram from the German side.

"Is the Caluster news confirmed?" Even though Eder had received the telegram, he still confirmed it with the chief of the guard.

"Yes, Your Highness, this news came from someone close to Professor Haber, it is completely certain."

The chief of the guard knew why the crown prince had such an attitude, he had seen that the crown prince attached great importance to this technology and had studied the information before.

Ammonia is one of the important inorganic chemical products and occupies an important position in the national economy, among which ammonia can be used to produce chemical fertilizers and can also be used as raw materials for other chemical products. Ammonia is mainly used to make nitrogen fertilizers and compound fertilizers, such as urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium chloride and various nitrogen-containing compound fertilizers, all of which are based on ammonia. Ammonia as an industrial raw material and ammoniated feed. The main raw materials for synthetic ammonia are natural gas, naphtha, heavy oil and coal.

Now ammonia can also be used as a raw material for fire explosives, which is now the most critical. After watching the ammonia effect, the chief of the guard can also understand the crown prince's interest in this technology.

"How's the professor we sent studying?" Edel asked.

"I've heard that he had a very speculative conversation with Professor Haber, and he was quite popular with the Germans." The chief guard gave the answer he knew.

The professor in their mouths was a chemist named Borvin, who was thirty or forty years old, who was born in Constanta to a family of grain merchants. Since childhood, he has been extremely smart, and he has been fascinated by chemistry since he was a student, and he has done many ridiculous things for this. For example, when I was 3 years old, I was a little obsessed with alchemy and wanted to transform gold, and the result is needless to say. Later, under the strict discipline of his chemistry teacher Gabia when he was in middle school, he gave up the evil path of alchemy and embarked on a new path of chemistry. The chemistry teacher thinks that it is a pity that Bourvin-san is so talented that he has gone down the wrong path, so he pulls him out of his dream of being an alchemist.

Later, thanks to his own efforts, Bolvin was admitted to the University of Bucharest as a chemistry student, and four years later he went to the University of Berlin for further study. During his seven years at the University of Berlin, he received his master's degree and doctorate.

After completing his studies, he returned to Romania and became the deputy head of the Department of Chemistry in Bucharest. I usually teach students when I have time, and I study experiments that I am interested in the rest of the time, and I live a leisurely life. However, when he was teaching, he often wore a lab coat to class, and listened to his lectures to endure the pungent smell of chemical potions, coupled with the messy hair that had not been taken care of for a long time, and the whole image of a Frankenstein.

He was later recommended by Headmaster Bigskeller to the head of the guard looking for a chemist, who was a madman at first sight, and later disproved his ideas after a conversation between the two sides, and was considered a genius. Of course, when he met Eder, how could the crown prince be so uninformed. In fact, I was mainly confused by the image of this Bolvin, the classic white coat and messy hairstyle, except that the hair and beard are not white, it is simply the classic style of Albert Einstein in later generations, of course, the face is not like it, but it still left a deep impression on him. After a conversation with the pungent smell, Eder also felt that the Bolvin was a buried chemical genius, and sent him to Germany to study the most important chemical ammonia synthesis operation in Romania.

After sending the counterfeit Einstein to Professor Hartz's laboratory, both men were impressed by each other's whimsical ideas and erudition. Professor Boulvin was at home in Hartz's lab, and his life was quite nourishing.

However, the main contributors to the industrialization of synthetic ammonia this time are not the two of them, but the engineer Bosch of BASF in Germany.

Previously, BASF saw the prospect of the ammonia industry and planned to purchase Professor Haber's ammonia technology for industrial improvement. It was only during the negotiations that it was discovered that the Romanians had already taken the lead and could not leave them behind. This disgusted BASF and almost didn't negotiate. However, in the face of the prospects described by the company's consultant Engel, BASF eventually bought Haber's ammonia synthesis technology and worked on it with Romania.

Romania contributed 20% of the costs, and BASF invested the rest. However, Romania can only use ammonia technology in its own country and prohibits technology transfer. After Edel in China got the news, he immediately agreed to BASF's request. Being able to obtain the technology of synthetic ammonia before World War I was already the biggest gain, you must know that this was a top secret for Germany in World War I, and Eder was not so kind to remind the Entente countries. You must know that now the British have a monopoly on the world's nitrate ore exports, and he doesn't want to be a living Lei Feng.

In the end, both sides invested heavily in research and improvement. At the suggestion of German chemist A. Mittas, BASF conducted 6,500 tests with 2,500 different catalysts last year and this year, and finally succeeded in developing a cheap and readily available iron catalyst containing potassium and aluminum oxides as co-catalysts. Some of the problems encountered in the process of industrialization, such as the corrosion of steel by hydrogen at high temperatures, the life of the ammonia synthesis reactor made of carbon steel is only 80 hours, and the manufacturing method of nitrogen-hydrogen mixture for ammonia synthesis have been solved by the company's engineer Bosch. The man named Bosch proved that scientists were far less useful than engineers on the road to the industrialization of scientific and technological products.

Now that he has received the news that ammonia can be industrialized, Eder plans to wait for Boulvin's entourage, who was studying technology in Germany, to return to China and immediately start the construction of the ammonia plant. According to Eder's own estimates, the ammonia plant could not afford to build too much capacity without 20 million lei, so he planned to invest all the remaining royal funds in the plant, which was vital to Romania.

Now the Romanian royal family still has 43 million lei, which is the remaining funds of more than 16 million lei from the previous rubber crisis, plus the balance of the Romanian royal family in the past two years. Now part of the money earned by the royal family is used to repay the loans of Rockefeller and Morgan, and part of it is used for daily expenses, and only a small part is saved. It should be noted here that Eder's wedding cost 8.7 million lei is still considered less.

A week later, Professor Bolvin and his party returned to Romania, where Eder summoned the buried Romanian chemist alone.

"Hello Professor Bourvin."

Eder knew that these scientists were not very polite, and that Professor Boulvin was a good man, so Edel greeted the chemist first to avoid embarrassment.

"Hello, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Professor Bourwin's greeting to the crown prince was as casual as a friend's greeting, but fortunately he remembered to add the honorific title of His Highness.

"How about a trip to Germany?"

Edel knew the professor's habits, and couldn't help but pay too much attention to it, and began to make small talk.

Professor Boulvin, who listened to Eder's questioning, spoke about his experience in Germany. "I felt really good during my time in Germany, Harper and I was very speculative. Unexpectedly, he and I were alumni, and we discussed various chemical problems every day, and we both proposed our own solutions, and after debate, we came up with the most reasonable experiments. I feel like I've learned a lot of useful things in the two years I've spent with Haber, and I can't wait to go back to my lab to test my ideas. ”

Hearing Professor Boulwin talk about his achievements in Germany, Eder could only interrupt him with a question.

"So what are you going to research lately?"

"I'm going to look into pesticides." Professor Boulvin was serious about his goal, and he explained to Eder what he was doing so. "When I was a child, I watched my father sort the grains he buys, and only the grains with fewer pests and diseases can get the first price, and some grains my father doesn't accept at all. Later, when I asked him, my father told me that these were all grains with serious pests and diseases, and they could not be sold if they were bought. From this moment on, I wanted to do something for these farmers, and now I plan to work on a medicine that can kill these pests and save these grains. ”

After listening to Professor Boulvin's idea, Eder was of course supportive of it. He had seen in the report that many areas were losing production due to pests and diseases, and a good insecticide was a complete necessity for Romania.

"Professor Boulvin, I admire your idea very much, and I intend to fund you with 1 million lei to realize your wish first."

"Thank you for the Crown Prince's generosity."

Bolvin had planned to ask the crown prince for some funds to do his favorite projects, but he knew that the crown prince was very generous with scientific funding, and he was just suffering from no way before, but now that he knows this big donor, how can he bear it.

After Professor Boulvin, who had received a grant from the crown prince, began to sit on his laurels, Eder knew why the scientists were and quickly ended the summons, allowing the professor to devote himself to his research as soon as possible.

In the days that followed, Eder received news that Serbia and Bulgaria had signed an alliance. This lets him know that the Balkan alliance is slowly forming, that Romania's opportunity to fish in troubled waters is slowly coming, and that Eder is waiting.

(Thanks to everyone for the tip, it's almost there.) Steamed buns are here to say that this book is on the shelves in March. It's not clear what the number is for the time being.,I hope it's the number one.,The reason is that everyone understands.,So I hope everyone can give the steamed bun monthly pass support next month.。 The steamed buns on the shelves are guaranteed to be two more, and you are not surprised or not surprised. ）
