Chapter 538 Chemical Fertilizer Production Increase Depends on Chemical Fertilizer
"Build a fertilizer plant? So as to solve the fertilizer problem and increase the yield of the land at one time, is this feasible?! Lyudbalev asked cautiously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a member of Gomel's municipal government, he has lived and worked in the region for too long.
The best part of Belarus is Minsk, Vitebsk, Bobruisk, and only there is a lot of farmland. Because of the high dimension, the winter temperature is too cold, and this area is also planted with wheat, rye and other grasses, and there is really no way to reduce the yield.
In many places, potatoes are grown, and the yield is far less than that of the plains of Ukraine, which is known as the granary.
For a long time, agriculture in this region has been backward, which is an important reason for the population growth of Belarus.
"Originally, there was a small fertilizer plant in the city of Gomel, located on the outskirts of Gomel. However, due to the war, most of the workers there joined the army, and the factories were shut down and then destroyed in the war. We don't have chemical engineers to build fertilizer plants, and we don't have skilled workers."
Although Yang Mingzhi is not a professional in this field, he has at least learned the principles of chemical fertilizer preparation and knows what types of fertilizers are needed for crops.
He didn't brag about his knowledge of the subject, but introduced the man.
"Comrades, I thought for a long time last night, if we can produce fertilizer, grain production will inevitably increase. Yesterday after our meeting, I went to the arsenal, where Riguskov told me that the catfish village had sent materials for incendiary air weapons, and there were two kilograms of hydrazine nitrate! ”
Everyone was a little stunned, but they continued to listen to this man's words.
"If you talk about the lack of chemical engineers, I think Ivanov can, this guy Yelentina knows best."
"That's right! I'm very clear. Yerenkina's face turned red with shame. At the beginning of the war last year, I was ordered to lead the professors and students of Minsk University to the battlefield, and it is a shame that Professor Ivanov survived, otherwise we would be in a very bad situation now. ”
Yang Mingzhi continued: "It is this person who has made a large amount of picric acid explosives, and indeed made ammonium nitrate. To put it bluntly, he has already made fertilizer from bottles and cans in the laboratory, and he has made 500 grams in just one night. We could have found a way to expand production or even build a small factory. We don't have a lot of total land here, so we don't need a lot of fertilizers, so once we have a large-scale increase in grain production, our prospects are really good! ”
He said it very excitedly, and Lyudbalev trembled even more.
"Berekov, I seem to have full confidence in listening to your words! Can fertilizers really be mass-produced? ”
"Of course! We need to consult with the head of the arsenal, Lyudbalev, and the head of the laboratory, Ivanov, two high-ranking intellectuals, and we are fully qualified to build a small factory. It just doesn't have to be very large. ”
Yerentina also heard a lot of ways, and followed his words: "Berekov, we have just finished the experiment, and those fertilizers have been turned into rocket propellants and explosives in your hands, and their power is much stronger than black powder. If we can mass-produce it, won't our explosives production also increase on a large scale?! At that time, we will not even need to rely on the airdrop of TNT from above, and our mass-produced weapons will not only be enough for ourselves, but will also be delivered to other guerrilla units. ”
"It's totally doable!" Yang Mingzhi slapped his thigh, he hadn't thought about it so much.
Lyudbalev's heart is beating fast, this Chinese is really a baby, what he originally did in China is a mystery in itself! China had been fighting a war with Japan for ten years, and in the Far East they were focusing on guerrilla warfare, and Lyudbalev believed that this was why Berekov quickly developed a professional guerrilla force.
Now he is at least a weapons expert, not only in designing weapons, but also in chemistry. It's not so much that Ivanov is a chemist, but that Berekov's knowledge is about the same.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but think: "We are not short of materials now, the most basic materials, such as coke, sulfur, ready-made potassium nitrate, which are the most basic materials for making weapons and fertilizers, and a series of chemical means will be made into the compounds we need." Chemical fertilizers will be much, much more effective than human and animal manure. ”
The morning meeting lasted until noon.
The conference completely rejected the reform of the collective farms, decided on the creation of a grain standard currency "exchange voucher", and adopted a proposal for the establishment of a fertilizer plant.
But the fertilizer plant does not mean that there is one, and the four people voted by a show of hands to fully support the establishment of a factory to mass-produce fertilizer. Further meetings are needed on how to implement it.
Yang Mingzhi thought about it carefully, he really needed to go to Catfish Village again.
The lunch that I ate in the cafeteria was even energetic, and I ate bread because I was an officer. Now the flour reserves are almost at the bottom, and after the battle, the bread feast of the soldiers consumed six tons of white flour in one go.
At the moment, not to mention that civilians are eating potatoes, potatoes have also become the absolute main force in the food of soldiers.
In order to cope with the shrinking grain, some unripe potatoes were forcibly dug up. These plant blocks should grow larger at all, and each one is not the size of a ping-pong ball, and it is generally consumed by "killing chickens and taking eggs".
"It is already the most critical period of fruit expansion, but it is eaten hastily, which is really a waste." The status quo has strengthened Yang Mingzhi's determination to build a fertilizer factory.
Regarding another trip to Catfish Village, this matter has already been told to the division headquarters. There was no objection, and Yerentina emphasized like an old mother: "You must have enough guards, and I don't want any more accidents." ”
What else could there be like with you? The prisoners of war were kept under close guard, all farming was stopped, and they became coolies carrying wood. It is enough to think of one or two guards, but I am afraid that everyone in the division headquarters will not be at ease, Yang Mingzhi is equipped with ten people in one go!
He returned home and had a lot to prepare for his trip to Catfish Village. Yerentina went to prepare the jeep, and he didn't have to worry about that.
"Honey, you might as well follow me on another trip." Thinking so, Yang Mingzhi pushed open the door of the house, only to see that this girl was taking the sunlight outside the window seriously, reading a book with relish.
"What a studious girl." Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and broke the silence.
Carambola raised her head violently and looked at her husband's majestic figure. "Brother, is the meeting over? What else is scheduled for the afternoon? Or a meeting? ”
"Nope! Go to Catfish Village in the afternoon, you have to come with me. ”
The husband's words are military orders, and the girl must follow, but there is still a trace of reluctance in her heart. She muttered weakly: "I've been idle for a long time, it's better to settle down and learn knowledge, or be like Natasha......"
"What's wrong with Natasha?" Yang Mingzhi said, standing behind his wife's book and holding her immature shoulders.
"She couldn't bear the loneliness and went to instruct the soldiers of the junior battalion in shooting training."
Yang Mingzhi suddenly thought that he had discussed it with the two people in the division. This Natasha is a talent, and her sniping experience should be popularized. It was originally planned to create a professional sniper unit, and it seems that this matter should also be reconsidered.
"Natasha let her go if she likes, you are my wife, you have to listen to me. The two of us said that we would not be separated, and we would go to Catfish Village with my brother, and we would do something no less important than a military victory! ”
