"The Red Flower Society is really deceitful!" , Huang Shijian's face was extremely distorted at the moment, and he smashed the teacup to the ground fiercely, and the fine official kiln porcelain suddenly turned into pieces, but despite this, he was still angry, and he took out the treasure knife and split the several cases in front of him into firewood, and then he sat down on the chair panting. Since ancient times, the Chinese have paid attention to reverence for their ancestors, and Chen Jialuo made a statue of his grandfather and knelt in front of Zheng Chenggong to be scolded, which is simply a common hatred, "Don't cut this thief with a thousand knives, Huang Shijian swears not to be a person!" ”

But it's useless to just let go of the cannon, there are less than a hundred ships left under his command, thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, it is impossible to defeat the Red Flower Society by relying on these people, and if you want to contact Shi Lang's descendants, but the Shi family has declined since the death of Shi Shilun and Shi Shibiu, and now the biggest official seems to be just a prefect, and he really can't make any effort in this kind of big thing. Honghua will be so perverse, the next time the imperial army comes to cut off, you can't find a good place to go! The helpless Huang Shijian had no choice but to curse secretly in his heart.

Huang Shijian was depressed, Chen Jialuo was in high spirits, he was now inspecting the newly developed ironworks of the Safflower Society on the island of Taiwan under the guidance of Gao Xiangsi, "Chief helmsman, this Taiwan's iron ore is much better than Fuding in terms of quality and reserves, and it is also close to the coal mine, and our blast furnace has used a lot of new methods, and the output is at least three times higher than that of Fuding Iron Plant!" At that time, our safflower society will no longer have to worry about steel production! ”

"Mr. Gao has worked hard! Taiwan's terroir is different, Mr. Gao has to take care of his body, you are much more important than this iron factory! Chen Jialuo said with a smile.

"It's okay, there is no master of resentment, none of us who have come from Fuding have been seriously ill!" Gao Zhisi continued to lead Chen Jialuo forward, "This is the mineral processing plant, this is the coal preparation plant, and now the steam engine can be used in the factory, which is much more efficient than before. It's a pity that the steam engine is still unstable, and it takes longer to repair the machine than it works! ”

"It's much better now than when I was in Fuding!" Since the steam engine was first made, Chen Jialuo has paid great attention to it. From the initial model to the current model, the quality and efficiency of the steam engine have been greatly improved, "By the way, Mr. Gao, the iron ore and coal mines are not too far away at the moment. Relying solely on people to pull horses is still less efficient; I'm a bit of an immature idea here, do you think it's feasible? We can lay tracks between the mine and the iron factory, and use the steam engine as the power to pull the mine car", Chen Jialuo told Gao Zhisi the general working principle of the train, in fact, in history, the train was first born in the mine, in 1804, by the British mining technician De Ivesk used Watt's steam engine to build the world's first steam locomotive, with a speed of 5 to 6 kilometers per hour. And in this plane, Chen Jialuo wants to advance this time by more than forty years.

After frowning and drawing on the notebook for a long time, Gao Classi snapped the notebook and high-fived him. "It's a good idea, I've just roughly calculated, it's very likely to be successful from the technical side, and if it can be done, the output of the iron factory can be much higher!"

"It's not just about solving the problem of the mines!" The advent of trains and railways made it possible to transfer a large number of materials and personnel in a short period of time, further shattering the feudal society's imprisonment on the people, and allowing history to irreversibly enter the capitalist society.

"Chief helmsman, it is indeed much more convenient to make salt according to this method than in the past. The quantity and quality of the salt produced are far better than in the past! Cheng Huaixiu pinched a pinch of salt and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, but he didn't see much joy on his face, "It's just that in the past, a place that used to use more than 100 people now only needs dozens of people." I'm afraid that many people in my salt gang will lose their livelihood! ”

"Cheng Gang Master cares about his subordinates, Jia Luo admires it very much!" Chen Jialuo has long been prepared for this problem, salt is not only a condiment, but also a very important industrial raw material, caustic soda, soda ash, hydrochloric acid these important basic chemical raw materials need a large amount of salt. Compared with those peasants, the people of the Salt Gang have dealt with salt more or less, and it is much better for them to be workers than farmers, "But the gang leader doesn't have to worry, my Safflower Society is now building a factory near the salt factory, and I can use salt to make countless useful things, and these extra Salt Gang brothers can work in the factory." ”

"Oh? I have been helping to make salt for many years, and I don't know that salt has other uses besides seasoning, can the chief helmsman take Huaixiu to see it? Cheng Huaixiu was stunned when he heard this.

"Absolutely!" , Chen Jialuo happily agreed, and took Cheng Huaixiu to take a tour of the surrounding factories, although Cheng Huaixiu didn't understand it, but after seeing so many factories, he also knew that Chen Jialuo was not perfunctory, and he immediately put his mind at ease.

This factory not only uses salt to produce hydrochloric acid and other substances, but also uses saltpeter to produce nitric acid, reuses nitric acid to produce munitions, and uses sulfuric acid and phosphate rock to produce phosphate fertilizer.

"The chief helmsman said that sprinkling this in the ground would increase food production?" , Inspecting the factory in this circle, all kinds of bizarre things made Cheng Huaixiu dizzy, but what surprised her the most was the fertilizer produced by this factory, "When I was a child, my father and mother suffered a lot in order to collect manure, according to the meaning of the chief helmsman, there is no need to work hard to collect fertilizer with this thing?" ”

As the name suggests, chemical fertilizer is made by chemical methods to contain one or several nutrients needed for the growth of crops, Fujian land is small, food production can not meet the needs of local residents, with chemical fertilizer can temporarily solve this problem. It's embarrassing to talk about fertilizer with beautiful women! Chen Jialuo shook his head, "Although this thing is effective, it is not omnipotent, if you have the spare power, it is better to use these with manure!" According to the experiment, the yield of sweet potato can be increased by two percent per mu after using this substance. ”

Cheng Huaixiu was born in poverty, of course, he knew what it meant for the farmers to increase production by two percent, and immediately praised, "The chief helmsman's move is a great merit, and the people of Fujian are really lucky to meet the chief helmsman!" ”

"Don't dare to be, these are the credits of Mr. Gao and Mr. Yang! And at present, only this one has been made, and the two of them are still studying how to make other fertilizers, if there are a few more kinds of food in Fujian, I can not only be self-sufficient and even have the spare power to be exported! ”

"Dare you ask what this thing is called?" , Cheng Huaixiu asked.

"Uh." , Chen Jialuo was stunned, "Let's call it Jin Kela!" (To be continued.) )
