Laboratory synthesis of chemical compounds is not the same thing as large-scale industrial production.

Aldridge felt short on manpower and brought in an Irish chemist named Gene Corry. Together, they set up the "Aldrich-Corey Laboratory", with research funding provided by Zhou Hexuan, who is responsible for the research and development of sulfonamides and the industrial production method of sulfonamides.

Since the structure of sulfamsulfonamide is not complicated, the two quickly found a variety of ways to produce it, and now the key is which one is the most efficient.

After trial and error, Aldrich and Corey basically set the course. That is, acetanilide and excess chlorosulfonic acid are directly sulfonated to synthesize the intermediate product p-acetamidebenzenesulfonyl chloride, so as to complete the large-scale production of p-aminobenzenesulfonamide.

This is the most traditional and primitive sulfonamide industrial production method, with low efficiency, high consumption, high pollution, and a large amount of waste acid will be produced in the production process. If Zhou Hexuan uses this method to produce sulfonamides, then the second largest royal park in Britain (Busch Park) will be in a miasma, and even the nearby Hampton Court Palace (known as the British Palace of Versailles) will be affected.

When a large amount of industrial waste acid is discharged into the River Thames, there are bound to be countless dead fish floating in this mother river of the United Kingdom, and the river is particularly beautiful.

What is environmental protection?

Nowadays, there is no concept of environmental protection at all, the factory chimney is a symbol of civilization, and industrial wastewater is the best of civilization, and Zhou Hexuan is happy to contribute to British civilization.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the sulfonamide production process I designed." Gene Corey handed Zhou a drawing.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "With this set of machines, can sulfonamides be mass-produced?" ”

Jean Corey explained: "This is just a preliminary idea, whether it is in line with reality, whether there will be problems, and we need to slowly do experimental debugging. You're better off getting another mechanical engineer who will improve the machine and design the production line. ”

"Understood," Zhou Hexuan said to Ernis, "Mr. Hartley, this job will be left to you. ”

Ernis smiled, "No problem, I'll look for the best mechanical engineer." ”

Ernis is now ambitious, having no exposure to the pharmaceutical industry, but with a wealth of business experience, he is confident that he will become a leading entrepreneur in the UK.

In the lab, Aldrich and Corey continued to be busy, while Zhou Hexuan left the University of London with Ounis.

"Zhou, are you going back to China soon?" Ernis asked.

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have been in the UK for three months, and it's time to go back." ”

"What about Mary?" Ernis's role has shifted from partner to father.

Vivien Leigh is the only daughter of Annis and has been pampered since she was a child, which can be described as a thousand and obedient. Ernis spent a lot of effort to train his daughter, from a young age to hire someone to teach Vivien Leigh violin, piano and other musical instruments, at the age of 3 let her daughter perform on stage, and also sent her daughter to study in various European countries, so that Vivien Leigh now speaks English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Vivien Leigh said last year that she wanted to become a movie star, and Annis immediately gave her full support. He asked his friend to go through the relationship, and spent a lot of money - although he had no money, he forcibly sent his daughter to study at the Royal College of Art in England.

Ernis is not a competent husband, but he is definitely a competent father.

"I heard you have a wife in China?" Ernis asked, apparently quietly inquiring.

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Ernis said bluntly: "Zhou, I hope you can divorce your current wife and then marry my daughter." ”

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Then you're playing with Mary's feelings!" Ernis said displeased.

Zhou Hexuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Hartley, you have lived in the East for many years, and you should have some understanding of the customs of the East. Chinese can marry an aunt, I want to marry your daughter as an aunt. ”

Ernis said angrily: "Zhou, I have already inquired with someone, and the Chinese aunt is not protected by the law at all, and she is not much different from Western lovers!" ”

"Although the law does not protect it, it is recognized by society." Zhou Hexuan argued.

"A husband and wife that the law does not protect are not a real husband and wife!" ”

Zhou Hexuan suddenly popped out a sentence: "Can legal couples who are protected by the law love each other for a lifetime?" ”

"Uh......" Ernis suddenly said that he was the one who had divorced his wife.

Zhou Hexuan continued: "Mr. Hartley, I promise that I will always take care of your daughter. The fact that I handed over the management of the pharmaceutical factory to you and invited you to take a stake is the best proof of this. You tell me? ”

The first half of the sentence is nonsense, and a man's commitment to love is simply unreliable. The second half of the sentence is the point, if Ernis wants to make a breakthrough in his career, he must choose to cooperate with Zhou Hexuan, because the patent for sulfonamides is in the hands of Zhou Hexuan.

Do you want a daughter, or do you want a career?

Ernis was torn.

In Ernis's moral concept, he thinks that it is normal for a man to have several lovers, and if Zhou Hexuan marries his daughter, he can accept it even if he quietly keeps seven or eight mistresses. But the premise is that his daughter must be a wife, because the lover will throw away this thing, and it is not safe at all, and it will be embarrassing to say it.

Ernis struggled to make a decision, and he said to the driver with a headache: "Go to the Royal Academy of Art!" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled, smiling like a fox.

Since the hit of "Titanic", Vivien Leigh has become a big star in London, often attracting crowds at the Royal Academy of Art, and I don't know how many love letters she has to receive every day. She basically attended classes during the day, performed at the theater in the evenings, and found time for rehearsals at noon and on weekends.

Although she is too tired every day to have a tryst with Zhou Hexuan, Vivien Li is happy and feels that her life is extremely fulfilling, and she likes this kind of life.

Zhou Hexuan and Ernis drove to the school, and after waiting for a while, they saw Vivien Leigh coming out of the campus and walking towards the special car arranged for her by the theater.

"Mary, this way!" Ernis beckoned.

Zhou Hexuan poked his head out and waved at Vivien Li with a smile.

Vivien Leigh saw her sweetheart and father coming, and immediately waved happily. She ran to the special car to say a few words to the driver, and then happily got into Zhou Hexuan's car, and said happily: "Dad, Xuan, why are you here?" ”

Annis said, "I'll pick you up by the way." ”

"Let's go eat first." Zhou Hexuan hugged Vivien Leigh's slender waist.

Vivien Li leaned on Zhou Hexuan's arms and took the initiative to give a fragrant kiss, and the two kissed passionately in the back seat of the car.

Ernis sat in the passenger seat, looking at the intimate scene in the rearview mirror, and was suddenly speechless. The daughter has been fascinated by this oriental, saying that it doesn't work, and Ernis feels that he has raised his daughter for 19 years in vain.

"Shet!" Ernis cursed under his breath and told the driver to hurry up.
