It's almost October, the wind is already cool, and in the vast field of vision, the yellow and green grass spreads out, like a watercolor painting with strong colors.

In addition to the cattle, sheep and horses grazing everywhere, there are many people who are grazing, and they have to prepare some forage for their livestock for the winter.

You can usually graze outside, but once you are covered in heavy snow, it can be more troublesome. Therefore, everyone should prepare more hay before the snow falls.

At the foot of the mountain, near the side of the Tien Shan Mountains, fired refractory bricks are neatly arranged. According to Abu, such refractory bricks can withstand high temperatures of more than 1,300 degrees, and the effect remains to be tested.

Liu Yuanlu, Li Baotian, Bai Boda and others each took a group of people and prepared to start the operation according to the drawings.

This drawing was designed by Abu in accordance with the process of the famous Houshi alkali production method in later generations, with the aim of maximizing the use of various resources.

The blast furnaces and production pools in the various operating areas to be built are experimental in nature, after all, there is not enough raw materials such as salt, which need to be consumed in large quantities.

In this basin, although it is blessed with coal, iron ore, water and other raw materials, there is still a shortage of raw materials such as saltpeter and salt, which need to be consumed in large quantities in industry.

Abu is also whimsical sometimes, if there is a natural soda ash vein near here, how good it would be, go dig a spade back, you can use it directly, how much manpower and material resources can be saved! But that's just a thought, and the work that needs to be done is still to be done by hand.

If the experiment is successful, you can take advantage of the advantages of science and technology, make profits quickly, and then mobilize caravans from all over the country to transport resources in a steady stream.

Abu's idea was to establish four operating areas, Zone 1 for coal coking, Zone 2 for limestone calcination, Zone 3 for soda ash generation and Zone 4 for tar purification. Four operation areas flow operation and recycling.

The coal is coking in the No. 1 operation area, leaving a chimney on it to export the gas, which contains more ammonia, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and introduces the gas into the No. 3 operation area, that is, the saturated brine pool, so that saturated ammonia will be obtained.

Ammonia chloride will be obtained by reacting ammonia and sodium chloride, and then the remaining gas insoluble in water will be rectified and reintroduced into the heating chamber in Zone 1, where hydrogen and carbon monoxide will be heated as gas, and the remaining ammonia will be exported to the brine pool again.

The No. 2 operation area is mainly used to calcine limestone, which decomposes at high temperatures, releasing a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is introduced into saturated ammonia water to produce sodium bicarbonate.

At the same time, calcium oxide, a by-product, is quicklime, which can be used to repaint the cave they live in and improve the brightness of the inside of the cave.

The third operation area is the final soda ash precipitation area, ammonium chloride and carbon dioxide react to generate sodium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate solubility is low, first saturated, to obtain sodium bicarbonate crystallization, the remaining ammonium chloride saturated crystallization, can be used as nitrogen fertilizer, can also be recycled, continue to obtain soda ash.

The main task of the No. 4 operation area is to purify the tar obtained from the coal coking process, and to obtain the mixture of gasoline and kerosene by means of low-fire heating. Under the current conditions, the temperature is not well controlled, as long as the mixed oil can be obtained, it can be used to ignite and illuminate, and it is considered a success.

The remaining asphalt has a great effect, which can be used to synthesize dolomite bricks with a higher refractory temperature, which can withstand high temperatures of more than 2,000 degrees. In the future, if there is a large blower, it will be an indispensable material when making steel from molten iron.

Although this is just a small, experimental assembly line project, no one knows what the result will be, and everyone does not know much about the various reaction formulas and chemical terms given by Abu, but it does not prevent the big guys from admiring Abu. The person who can design such a well-thought-out drawing cannot help but be admired.

Especially Liu Yuanlu, in the past few days, his face has always shown a very abnormal flush, and the long hair that was originally a bit fairy wind bones has also become entangled like hay.

He basically walked around and observed every moment, occasionally facing the sky, waving his fist fiercely and roaring angrily, this is the real alchemy.

Abu was very worried about his physical condition and went to investigate before he was relieved, he was just a little overexcited.

After Liu Yuanlu saw Abu, he kept praising words, third brother, you are really amazing! Third brother, you are such a genius! Third brother, I really love you to death! And Abu can only walk away silently and transfer this admiration for himself to the future, unborn Mr. Hou.

Abu put unprecedented effort into this experiment. He knows that before everyone tastes the sweetness and dividends brought by technology, he will always have a half-believing attitude towards the knowledge he teaches.

If there is a link in this experiment that is not handled properly, which leads to serious accidents, then everyone will have a psychological shadow on industrial manufacturing, and then will resist or prevent the progress of science and technology, and the consequences will be extremely serious. Therefore, Abu set himself the goal of success, not failure.

Abu personally gave a special detailed explanation and operation steps for each step and each potential risk.

There are great dangers in some links in the middle, such as the gas may explode, the gas may cause people to be poisoned, ammonia has a strong irritation to the respiratory system, and the toxic gas is released during the tar refining process.

Because no one else has had a similar experience, they can't feel or imagine the serious consequences that can happen if an accident happens.

He must personally check the implementation of each project, repeatedly review every process, and personally assess and inspect every personnel. After this round, Abu lost a lot of weight, and his face was scruffy. But the good news is that all the work is under his supervision and is almost successfully completed.

Once after Wu Ye saw Abu, he said that the master had turned into a thin monkey in clothes, which made Yun Niang both amused and distressed. Finally, he was forced to sit down and helped him clean up, looking much more energetic than before.

When there were only two people in the middle, Abu saw the delicate and bright Yun Niang, helping himself to be busy next to him, and couldn't help but be moved, hugging and hugging, taking the opportunity not to forget to eat some tofu, kneading and kneading, and enjoying it, making Yun Niang's face like a red glow, as if drunk.

It was a day in October, the weather was clear, the sun was shining, and the final moment of the test results had finally arrived.

In addition to the necessary guards and duty personnel, the rest of the people came to the safe position of the scene, Abu wants to give everyone a deep impression, show the industrial process, maybe everyone here will go to the corresponding post in the future.

The operators are neatly arranged in three ways, Abu walks over one by one, shakes hands with them, and does not need Abu to ask questions in person, everyone will subconsciously say their job responsibilities and precautions.

In the end, Abu said: "We have worked hard together for so many days and experienced so many difficulties. The fruits of our labor will soon be put to the test.

There is only one thing you need to remember, and that is to do your job well. To do your own thing well is to contribute to the collective and to ensure everyone's safety. Believe in yourself, believe in your peers, believe in science. Start! ”

"Let's go!"

Everyone roared in unison, and the well-trained runners ran to their posts, skillfully manipulating their tasks, all with serious expressions on their faces.

"Pit No. 3 with water!"

"Pit No. 3 with salt!"

"Pit 3 stirs!"

"Pit No. 3 with salt!"

"Pit 3 stirs!"

"Pit No. 3 is saturated with salt water!"

"Pit No. 1 ignition!"

"Pit 2 ignition!"

……

All kinds of passwords were issued in an orderly manner, the corresponding personnel were meticulously operating, Abu was patrolling back and forth in different operation areas, and everyone else was silently watching.

After a long time, someone shouted, "There is a crystalline precipitation, we have succeeded!" ”

"It worked!"

In addition to the personnel who continued to work, everyone was cheering, jumping, and running unwillingly!

The joyful enthusiasm drove the cold air out of the valley.
