Chapter 540: Fertilizer doesn't mean there
Yang Mingzhi said with a slight smile on his face: "Of course I know that you can, we can't go on any longer, let's just start now." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Just arrived in Catfish Village and started the action? Fuming patted him on the shoulder: "Comrade, you are too anxious, Rome was not built in a day, and the fertilizer plant was not built in an instant as soon as you said it." You should still relax. ”
"But time waits for no one! The current food reserves are not satisfactory, most of the resources have hit the army, and the ordinary villagers live in a miserable life, and we ask them to work hard! Only food can make up for them! Only chemical fertilizers can increase food production. Yang Mingzhi stood up indignantly, and this shoulder seemed to shoulder a huge responsibility.
These words did not make Ivanov's blood boil, and he said: "Sir, let's rest for the afternoon first, prepare all the plans, and I will go back to make preparations." If I could, I'd be willing to talk to you all night. ”
Fuming hurriedly complied: "What he said makes sense, I can understand your anxious attitude." No matter how anxious you are, you don't care about these few hours! I'll have hot water ready, and if the deputy commander is willing, you can take a good bath. ”
As soon as he heard the word bath, Yang Mingzhi immediately softened his heart, and his expression became more gentle.
Since the end of the battle, most of the soldiers just wiped their bodies with towels as a kind of washing, and because the water was too cold, the soldiers did not dare to jump directly into the pond to bathe. Taking a bath is almost the preserve of officers, and Yang Mingzhi, as a busy man, simply has no time to enjoy this.
At that time, the division headquarters was still in Catfish Village, and the population was not as large as it is now. Although life is more difficult than it is now, at least you can still enjoy it, and it is really enjoyable to soak your whole body in a huge wooden barrel.
"Well, I take your advice, but I have to bring my wife. We men can be sloppy, but women can't. ”
Fuming had a "I understand" look on his face, and the office was filled with men's laughter like a nuclear leak.
Fuming is very envious of this chief, not only because he actually has an exclusive woman to accompany him in this sinister environment, but also because he can be with his family. Many of the soldiers, mostly Belarusians, have long been separated from their families, and the current atrocities of the Germans have to convince them that their families have been slaughtered by the enemy.
It is also a blessing for a soldier to be able to fight and live with his wife in the battlefield. But the death brought about by the cruel war, if the person you love the most is sacrificed in front of you, I am afraid that it will be a dark shadow that cannot be erased for a lifetime.
Yang Mingzhi, who Fuming thought of, also thought that although war is cruel, it is extremely important to seize the time to enjoy peace during the limited interval between wars.
So when Yang Mingzhi told the star fruit that there was a place to take a bath, the girl was happy.
The first thing she thought of was not to be able to have intimate contact with her husband, but to say that she had found an opportunity to completely remove the dead skin from her body.
The room for tonight's stay had been tidied up, the necessary items were grabbed, and the two of them followed the guards hand in hand to the steaming place.
……
Yang Mingzhi, who was comfortable, only felt that the muscles and bones in his body were paralyzed, and his wife's condition was not very good, it seemed that she was too comfortable and she had dozed off.
"Forget it, Fuming is right, there are some things that don't need to be in such a hurry, even if you are in a hurry, it's useless." is ruthless, Yang Mingzhi doesn't care so much. After getting dressed, the two went directly to the dormitory and had a good night's sleep.
Ivanov, on the other hand, took advantage of the short afternoon to think about the establishment of a fertilizer plant.
He sat in a small office in the lab and ordered everyone not to disturb his thoughts.
All afternoon, the laboratory was still preparing all kinds of dangerous compounds, bottles and cans of various shapes were piled up, the wooden walls were filled with colorful substances, the air was filled with an indescribable smell, and people in stained white coats were working seriously, and there was no cleanliness and tidiness in a chemistry lab.
By normal standards, this is simply a powder keg that could explode at any moment! Truly! They create dangerous explosives, from the most powerful ancient black powder to the extremely dangerous hydrazine nitrate.
For safe production, Ivanov has done his best, and he can die at any time in the deep battlefield. Therefore, he said most about the "thriving" scene of preparing all kinds of dangerous goods outside the door, and asked his own people to increase production.
Now, his mind is completely occupied by how to synthesize ammonia on a large scale.
In the Tsarist era, it was impossible for farmers to use chemical fertilizers for farming, and they were deliberately collecting manure like most ethnic groups, and coupled with the environmental restrictions at high latitudes, it was difficult to increase the grain yield per mu.
When Stalin came to power, the interests of the peasants were sacrificed in order to rapidly industrialize an agrarian state, which in turn led to the Holodomor in Ukraine.
The consequences of the famine were not just huge numbers of people starving to death, these were only tiny numbers on Stalin's desk. When industrialization was successful, various machine factories and chemical plants were established, which began to make blood for Soviet industry.
But for the bruising of the people, it also led to the fact that after the fall of Ukraine, a large number of Ukrainians stood on the side of Germany, so that the Soviet army had to face a group of puppet troops again.
Most of these large-scale fertilizer plants were built in Ukraine, because they were the breadbasket of the Soviet Union, and as the country was lost, they were occupied by Germany, including chemical plants.
As for how to produce fertilizers, the method is not difficult, Ivanov produces them entirely in the laboratory.
As the most basic material for the production of ammonia, according to national conditions, coke was used in the Soviet Union. In the current poor environment, Ivanov does use charcoal, which has a lower hydrogen content and cannot produce large amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which has a great impact on production efficiency. Fortunately, Belarus is very rich in timber resources, and it is not difficult to process it into charcoal, and it is enough to obtain sufficient ammonia and increase fuel input.
Through a not complex chemical reaction, the hydrogen and carbon from the charcoal are finally combined with the nitrogen in the air to form ammonia, which can then produce urea, and can be combined with nitric acid to produce multifunctional ammonium nitrate.
"Alas, it is not easy to make 500 grams of ammonium nitrate in one go, and I used all the strength of the laboratory. That Berekov really thinks that I have a great foundation and can produce fertilizer for him? No professional workers, no large equipment, not enough fuel, all this is unthinkable! ”
After thinking for a long time, Ivanov had nowhere to vent the depression in his heart, and it was worth scolding. He didn't dare to say these words in front of that person, and he didn't know how much fertilizer would be needed by farmers and arsenals in case the factory was built and put into operation again.
Under the premise of conservation of energy, when ammonium nitrate is made into a large amount of explosives, it must come at the cost of the disappearance of large areas of forest. Behind the ammonium gunpowder explosives consumed in a battle is probably the complete disappearance of a hectare of towering trees.
Militarily, Ivanov fully recognized that the deputy division commander Berekov was extremely talented, and he was also an incredibly high-ranking intellectual in terms of learning. Picric acid, hydrazine nitrate, such high-energy compounds were created, but Ivanov was not optimistic about the establishment of a fertilizer plant.
Even if the fertilizer plant was eventually built, the thick black smoke would simply tell the enemy's reconnaissance planes that I was here. In addition, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the final output of chemical fertilizer is not much. It is better to continue to capture the enemy's ammunition and fight, or to cultivate more land and grow potatoes extensively.
The commander's order is the order, and he will come in the evening after he has rested.
Ivanov pondered it carefully and made up his mind: "After he comes, I must tell him the pros and cons of this matter." If he insists on building a factory, he will have to start work! ”
