Chapter 68: Sulfuric Acid Factory (Part II)

An elegant scholar got out of the sedan chair and walked over, surrounded by dozens of long-haired guards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at this posture, Hao Xide is sure that this is the biggest official with long hair, the Holy King!

Isn't Long Hair the most hated to be a reader, why is the biggest official like a reader? Hao Xide couldn't help but be a little confused. None of this was his concern, though.

The senior official surnamed Huang greeted him.

"Yiyun, it's only been a few days, I didn't expect you to lose weight! Laborious. The long-haired Saint King said to the official surnamed Huang. Only then did Hao Xide know that this official surnamed Huang was originally called Yiyun.

"The Holy King knows that Yiyun is hard, so he didn't come earlier." The official surnamed Huang seems to be very familiar with this long-haired Saint King, and his tone is as good as an ordinary friend.

"In the past two days, Luo Outline and Liang Litai and others led the holy army to conquer Yongxing, Xingning, Guiyang and other counties under Chenzhou Prefecture, and everything such as recruiting troops and securing the people needs to be arranged, and there are many things. No, I'll come over as soon as I'm done. Okay, if you can't stand the hardships in this mountain rush, hurry back to Guiyang City, anyway, it's not far away, and your task is complete. You can't help with the rest, I have to preside over it myself. The Long-Haired Saint King smiled.

"Holy King, you can't unload the mill and kill the donkey. I couldn't help, so I went to school on the side and watched the excitement. Maybe next time I build a workshop like this, I can help. "The official surnamed Huang played a scoundrel.

"Okay, you slippery." The Long-Haired Saint King turned his head to look at the dozen or so square boxes and round cans in the open space, nodded, and said, "Yes, after a few days of hard work, this model will be built." I'm sorry for you! ”

After speaking, he led everyone to the bottom of the jar, pointed, and said, "This place needs to be changed, and there is a round hole to be opened here, and the contents of the jar will flow out of here." And there, in the upper right corner of the box in the middle, from the top third, there is also a round hole to be made, and something to be sent in. ”

The senior official surnamed Huang took out a drawing he had with him, looked at it, his face turned red, and said, "Holy King, this workshop is too complicated, Yi Yun has looked at it carefully a few times, but he still missed it." After speaking, he hurriedly asked the holy soldier to lead the carpenter to mark the place that was to be changed, and immediately organized people to change it.

"Hey, this is already the simplest lead chamber method for making sulfuric acid, if I can't find those catalysts, I still want to use the more advanced 'contact method', which is complicated, and it is several times more troublesome than the current one." Feng Shaoguang said with a smile.

Hao Xide was in the crowd, looking at the Long-Haired Saint King from a distance with a complicated expression. Originally, he hated the long-haired thief, but it can be seen that this long-haired holy king, he can't hate it. On the contrary, he admired this long-haired Saint King a little! Such a complicated thing, the long-haired Saint King also said that it was the simplest, and said that it was something that was several times more troublesome, it seemed that he knew it, and he knew far more things than he imagined. Since he was a child, Hao Xide did not like to fight and kill, but liked to do his own things, so he thought of being very respectful of erudite and talented people.

At this time, the Long-Haired Saint King checked it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he made a big move and asked the hundreds of people accompanying him to unload the hundreds of truckloads of goods that had been transported to the open space. Somehow, Hao Xide also took a few people to help unload the goods, which made the Long-Haired Saint King a little surprised, and looked at him carefully.

Dozens of people lifted two large iron furnaces from the last two carts, erected them, and placed them in the open space. Hao Xide grew up in the suburbs of Chenzhou since he was a child, and he was surrounded by this kind of mining furnace, and he was familiar with this and knew that it was used to smelt black lead.

A group of holy soldiers took a lot of coke and coal from the pile of goods unloaded in the open space, loaded it into the iron furnace, put it on the iron support, and began to light the furnace, and at the same time put the lead that had been prepared from the top of the furnace. But it turned out to be a lump of lead melted into molten lead.

Two hours later, the lead in the two iron furnaces had been completely turned into lead water, Feng Shaoguang ordered someone to carefully catch it with a small iron can, and then quickly poured it into the circular tank models in the open space. In this way, dozens of buckets of lead water were poured into iron cans, and finally the third tall earthen pot model was filled. I saw that the wooden board in the middle of the tank model was melted by lead water and burned to ashes, and the lead water occupied the space left behind, connected into a whole, and when it was slowly cooled and formed, it became a huge round high tank with lead plates as the wall.

But it turned out to be a lead can! The other dozen or so huge round jars and boxes must be the same.

What a big deal!

Hao Xide couldn't imagine how much lead water would be used to fill such a large thing with lead water? What is it that is worth the cost of such a large amount of money to build?

Sure enough, then there was a fourth jar, and then a fifth box...... However, the first two tanks are not filled with lead water, maintaining the structure of the earthen walls.

Ha Xid also went over to help pull the blower to reduce the lead in the two iron furnaces a little faster, to see what all the tanks were used for after they were cast. It seems that the holy king is talking about making sulfuric acid, and what is sulfuric acid?

By the end of the evening, all the models had been filled with lead water, but the last few had not cooled. Hao Xide saw that the Holy King carefully inspected all the holes left in the jars, and then he left Zilong Village with the official surnamed Huang and returned to Guiyang City. Left behind a group of long-haired soldiers to guard the workshop and Hao Xide and them.

The next morning, the holy king came again with a large crowd and a lot of goods.

The lead canisters and lead boxes have cooled. With the Holy King's order, all the people in the workshop moved, demolished the extra wooden shelves, and cleaned up the workshop. The Holy King, commanding a few craftsmen, opened a round lid reserved on the top of the lead box, and then had people go to the lead box to clean the earthen walls inside. The earthen walls outside were not cleaned.

Soon, by noon, all the inside of the lead boxes and canisters had been cleaned. The Holy King also asked people to melt some lead water and make up for the air leakage, saying that it was to ensure the tightness.

Hawced has been working hard. No sooner had he secured the lead pipe connecting a lead box to a lead canister than he saw the Holy King nod at him in a friendly manner, and let him pass.

He was tense and nervous. The long-haired Saint King, oh no, it's the Saint King, and he would actually call him? Hao Xide was very surprised, he didn't even notice that his attitude towards the army that captured him had slowly changed.

Sensing that everyone was looking at him, Hao Xide's mind was even more blank, and he didn't know when he had walked to the Saint King's side. A warm hand grabbed his hand, lifted his arm up, and shouted: "This king announces that the first sulfuric acid factory in the Holy Kingdom has been successfully completed!" ”

After the announcement, the Holy King whispered to Hao Xide again: "Little brother, you have worked hard for the past few days!" Would you like to join the Holy Army and help Ben Wang manage the workshop and make sulfuric acid? ”

"I ......" Ha Xide didn't think about how to choose at all, he only felt that his blood was boiling, but he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He tried to yell again: "I do! ”

The Saint King smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good! I'll have someone come to you and tell you how to do it. ”

Hawside felt like he was going numb. The Holy King patted him on the shoulder, and from then on, he had the capital to brag: You, who is qualified to let the Holy King take a picture?

The Holy King walked over to the first earthen pot and shouted, "Start ignition!" ”

The dark brown ore was unloaded and thrown into the first earthen jar, and a group of holy soldiers put some red-hot charcoal, and under the stove there were several blowers, and several people blew the air together, and soon the top of the earthen jar began to emit a pungent foul smell. The Holy King said: "Attention, sulfur dioxide has come out, put on a mask, cover the top of the lid and seal it." ”

The two climbed to the top of the earthen pot and closed the lid so that Hao Xide dared to get closer. That strong pungent smell just now, is that what the Holy King wants to make?

After a while, on the bottom side of the earthen pot, there was a pipe at the lowest part, and it began to spray out white smoke of lead water, which the Holy King called zinc water. Hao Xide understood this time that it turned out that the Holy King was to produce this zinc water. But the first tank came out, so what is the back tank for? He was a little confused again.

Fortunately, next, the Holy King commanded everyone, while busy, while explaining, as if he was deliberately going to explain to everyone and teach everyone, he immediately solved his doubts!
