After the temperature of 170 degrees has been determined, the rest of the production process is relatively easy, with these raw materials, especially 100 bottles of ethylene, it is possible to carry out targeted research on ethylene.

Ethylene is the most widely used chemical raw material in later generations, and many chemical products need to be produced, changed, and transformed into other products through it.

Among the products of ethylene, the most widely used and the most versatile is plastic.

Plastic is the most common material in the 21st century, it can be said that anyone, around, anywhere you can see, there are a large number of plastic materials, products made of plastic, almost all over the production and life of all fields, become steel, a cheap, and widely used material.

In the 21st century, environmental problems have gradually escalated to a very high level, because the harm caused by the massive use of plastics has gradually emerged.

Unlike the previous substances, plastic things are difficult to be degraded, and widely used plastics are all over the corners of life, falling into the sea, easy to be eaten by fish, and then causing a wide range of death, placed in the land, can not be degraded for many years.

This problem illustrates the grim form of plastics, and also illustrates the widespread use of plastics.

Ethylene is an important raw material for plastics, but ethylene is not equal to plastic, a simple polymerization reaction will make ethylene become polyethylene, and polyethylene is a plastic product.

Zhao Xin is very clear that from ethylene to polyethylene, it seems that there is only one word difference, this property is completely different, ethylene is a gas at room temperature, and polyethylene is generally a white solid.

Ethylene will become liquid at low temperatures, but polyethylene can still be used in a low temperature environment of minus 70 degrees to 100 degrees, and it has the characteristics of resin, so it is a very commonly used plastic material.

Zhao Xin didn't learn polymer chemistry, and he didn't have any contact with it, and the chemistry at the beginning of middle school was about the simplest and most common chemical reactions, reactions that are commonly used by organic substances like poly, and he didn't know at all.

It seems that a similar reaction is under high temperature and high pressure, and accompanied by a catalyst, the reaction from ethylene to polyethylene, although in terms of chemical formula, ethylene and polyethylene are not much different, but their external manifestations are completely different.

Middle school chemistry involves reactions at the molecular level, and it is the simplest, relatively strong, and has a change in the final product and change, similar to the difference in structure, and the difference in external manifestations, this kind of thing is no longer ordinary middle school chemistry.

From ordinary reactions to polymerization reactions, there is a lot to go in between, Zhao Xin just relied on consulting, vaguely remembering that under high temperature and high pressure, under the urging of catalysts, the reactions should be generated.

It sounds easy, but it is very difficult to do, in the chemical reaction, there are thousands of catalysts, and the reaction of high temperature and high pressure, even a little change in pressure, there will be huge changes, in the absence of a complete reaction molecular formula, no systematic process, and research reports, there is no way to start.

Zhao Xin has the consultation of later generations, and there is also such a treasure as the card system, but in countless possible catalysts, countless pressure pressures, and temperature changes, he does not have the confidence to get polyethylene out, and to a certain extent, the future way out of ethylene is also the same as the previous aluminum alloy, studying his performance in all aspects, verifying its reaction, and laying the foundation for the future.

Pure ethylene itself really has no other role than being used for the ripening of plants.

If in the future, the tonnage of maritime shipping reaches a certain level, some near-ripe fruits can be transported from Jiangnan, compared to ripe fruits, near-ripe fruits can be stored for much longer days, and after being transported to the location, they are ripened with ethylene, for example, bananas.

Traditional tropical fruits, their taste is very delicious, eat 300 lychees a day, do not hesitate to be Lingnan people, this poem illustrates the delicacy of lychees, Emperor Tang Ming in order to Bo Yang Guifei smiled, did not hesitate to use 800 miles to expedit, turned into the delivery of lychees, such a cost will be unimaginably high, and only a strong country, or even a small group of people in a strong country can enjoy.

But now, to collect some lychees that are about to ripen, this needs to be adjusted simply, for example, to that extent, can be left for a longer time, what kind of food, after ripening, it will taste the best, maybe not comparable with the real ripe, but you can eat this taste.

As long as the storage time is more than 20 days, this fruit has the possibility of long-distance trafficking, and there is no need to rush 800 miles, in that case, it will still take more than 8 days to travel from Lingnan to Tokyo, and the transportation is still very small, and it has no commercial value.

A high-speed sea vessel, even if it is a clipper ship, which is famous for its speed and not for its load, can also transport more than ten or twenty tons, so that tropical fruits have the possibility of being sold.

This is indeed a direction, but, useless, speed is the key, with the current speed of Chinese sailing, the monsoon season is easy to do, can reach the speed of 4 knots, a day is almost 200 miles or so, the sea route, a little easier, 20 days of time, is only 4000 miles, at most from Guangzhou to the Yangtze River, can not be transported to the hinterland.

In order to implement it initially, at the very least, it is necessary to have an ocean-going vessel such as a Spanish sailing ship to ensure that it has a speed of 8-9 knots under the premise of headwind, and if it is mature, it is necessary to use clippers.

The speed of 14 knots is the characteristic of the clipper ship, in the 19th century, China's tea, which is famous all over the world, every year the new tea is on the market, some British tea merchants, in order to obtain high profits, almost when the new tea is on the market, waiting in China, once the new tea is on the market, they will buy the new tea as quickly as possible, and then send it to London to sell.

This is a second of heaven, a second of hell, almost half of the world's journey, the whole process is like a race, speed is the only pursuit, and the first to arrive in London, you can get the first batch of high prices, this high price of time, to see the second, the third, as for the last arrival, although it can also be profitable, but compared with the previous one, it is completely disproportionate.

Flying clippers, as the pinnacle of sailing in the era, even in the 21st century, among the pure wind sailboats, there is no other ship that can surpass the flying clippers, and the ships that do global racing are basically flying clippers, but they have changed from wooden structures to newer materials, lighter and harder, but the specific ship type has not changed much.

At the current level of technology, the clipper is a little too exceeded, and on the basis of the Western-style sailing ship, further development and amplification, after the completion of these accumulations, the clipper will be considered.

The difference in means of transportation is only one of the reasons why Zhao Xin did not open it, and another factor is demand.

Now, if a shipment of bananas, lychees, and other tropical fruits were shipped to Bianliang, Tokyo, it would almost certainly cause a sensation, but what about after the sensation?

The Northern Song Dynasty is very special, the entire Northern Song Dynasty, in this era, the Northern Song Dynasty occupies more than 9% of the wealth of the whole world, and Tokyo Bianliang concentrates half of the wealth of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

It can be said unceremoniously that the kings of some small European countries may not have a good life as a city gate official in Kaifeng City, this sentence is really not polite.

However, even so, such high-priced luxury jewelry is not suitable for a large supply, unless Zhao Xin cheapens lychees, otherwise, this business is still good to put it alone.

Before productivity and wealth grow to a certain extent, to pursue such a better life is not to say that it can't be done, but this price is relatively expensive.

No matter how difficult polyethylene is, and no matter how much ethylene does not play a big role, the completion of pure ethylene is a good thing, which represents a further study of organic matter, and also represents a higher level of chemical research in Dingjun.

Science is sometimes like this, the rise of the steps, maybe in a short period of time, will not have too many benefits, but up the steps is up the steps, once this thing is found, from the laboratory, to industrial production, and even to solve a series of problems, such as polymerization, such as transformation, to generate useful other substances, this can be transformed into qualitative change.

This point, even in the 21st century, is a very difficult process, not to mention the industrial foundation established by the Ding Navy in the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as the ability of preliminary chemical processing and experimentation, the source is not the result of long-term accumulation, but the insight of Zhao Xinxin's traveler, as well as the card system, which is forcibly raised.

After the initial conclusion of ethylene, at the request of Zhao Xin, these experimenters will conduct a basic study of the properties of ethylene, rather than developing a method for industrial production of ethylene.

This is completely different from the previous practice, but the personnel in charge of the laboratory obeyed Zhao Xin's requirements, and even the characteristics of the ethylene that Zhao Xin took out.

This feature was not given by Zhao Xin, no matter how solid Zhao Xin's middle school knowledge is, it is only based on the knowledge in the textbook, he is not an encyclopedia, it is impossible to know everything, but the card system can.

As long as the cards lit up on the card system, you can see the basic functions, especially after the upgrade, there are more things introduced.

After the card system is upgraded, it has not been upgraded for a long time, 100,000 this equivalent, even if Zhao Xin has collected enough animals and plants, it is still not enough, the difference is not small, starting from Baozhou, at the earliest, there may be hundreds of them a day, but with the passage of time, this number is getting less and less, and sometimes, there are not even as many things as Zhao Xin lights up the cards drawn every day, and he is not in a hurry to upgrade.

After all, the card system is enough now, and although it is possible to draw better cards after upgrading, it is too difficult.

That is, recently, the emergence of a large number of organic matter has given him hope.

Inorganic matter, even if all the elements on the periodic table are found, how many, inorganic matter in nature, has unique characteristics, will be combined in different ways, this number is destined to be small, even if it takes great effort to get all the inorganic matter out, it may be tens of thousands, which consumes a lot of effort.

Organic matter is different, a carbon atom, can be combined with different bases, even the simplest hydrogen and oxygen, can also give birth to countless changes, under the premise of increasing carbon atoms, hydrogen and oxygen are also constantly changing, which has become the foundation of organic matter, in principle, organic matter is infinite.

Before making ethylene, various natural organic matter, through different methods, as well as cracking and refining oil, lit up a lot of cards from the middle, so Zhao Xin saw hope, originally, it may take decades to complete the next level of the card system, after the emergence of ethylene, it may be a step closer, maybe two or three years can be completed, so that the card system can be upgraded to a higher level.

Zhao Xin was able to establish the foundation of the entire Ding Navy, in addition to his foundation as a traverser, and made the right choice in the previous choice of the throne.

If he didn't give up his identity as a prince at that time, with his knowledge and the help of the card system, he could be in a deceitful environment, and finally go to the end, as long as he waited for 20 years, and when Renzong finally passed away, he could achieve the highest position.

But in the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor is not omnipotent, scholars and officials rule the world together, but not just talk, in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, Renzong as a king, many of his choices, are full of helplessness, civil officials, military generals, relatives, many forces mixed up in the Northern Song Dynasty, and finally formed a compromise, this is a politics.

The traverser and the card system may be able to change the Northern Song Dynasty, but it can only be subtle, and before there is enough security and strength, what Zhao Xin has to do may be to hide.

And now, he can show his ability in the small Dinghai, small may not be not strong, a strong Dinghai, an industrialized Dinghai, is the right way for his development.

After a breakthrough in organic matter, the production method of ethylene was found, and then, more organic matter, and even strive to get out polyethylene, as well as those common plastics in later generations, this is only one aspect, and more importantly, to understand ethylene, for the future, large-scale utilization and development of ethylene, lay the foundation.

The above description of the card system, the detailed various functions above, even more than Zhao Xin's mastery, these functions, need to be verified one by one, and then give ethylene a relatively complete business card, study all aspects of ethylene performance, verify some of his abilities, and form a solid foundation.

After thoroughly studying these properties, the next step is to use ethylene as a raw material to process more products, and the initial experiments can be based on some characteristics of ethylene, for example, adding certain elements, oxidation reaction, or using acid and alkali and other methods to combine with ethylene to see if you can make something, this product, at least you can light up the card, if you are lucky, make it useful, it will be better.
