18. Yongli alkali plant

Kane drove in front, Miss Fan and Snake Eyes, who were sitting in the back row, talked more and more speculatively, and turned out to be fellow countrymen after chatting, so Kane had a big head, and he couldn't understand a word of Hunan dialect below, so he had to drive with his head stuffy, and the two talked and laughed in the back, and when they arrived in Tianjin, they were a little embarrassed, Kane smiled in his heart, there was a play.

Miss Fan made a call at the telephone bureau and learned that her father was in the alkali factory, so the three of them went straight to the Wynn factory, and as soon as they got out of the car, Miss Fan ran to the middle-aged man who greeted him at the door, and Kane kicked the snake eye in a daze, "Idiot, don't go quickly!" "Oh" Snake Eyes immediately rushed forward, "That, eh, hello Mr. Fan, my name is Snake Eyes" The rich businessman with a big back glanced at this guy, and then laughed, behind Kane covered his face with his hands, "Who are these people?" ”

It was still Miss Fan who relieved the siege, "Daddy, his hometown is also from Xiangyin, but his family suffered a disaster, and he is the only one left." After speaking, he glanced at the snake eyes with a red face. Lao Fan smiled meaningfully, "My Fan Jingchun, welcome, welcome this, uh, Mr. Snake" "Oh, my surname is Lu" "Okay, Xiao Lu, please come in with your friends" Kane followed impatiently, listening to the Hunanese accented by the three of them, and vowed to learn dialects in the future.

Fan Jingchun took the three of them to visit the alkali factory, and the snake eyes were also fascinated by the various chemical machinery in front of him, Kane nodded secretly, with his own strength, it is really not easy to build such a large factory in China, which has nothing. A few people came to the outside of the packaging workshop, saw a large number of people in front of them, were discussing something loudly, and only nodded when they saw the arrival of five people here, one of the people wearing myopic glasses drew a pass in the notebook, and then said to the middle-aged man in a suit, "Manager Fan, this time the salt utilization is seriously exceeded, and the utilization rate is only 50%!" Manager Fan couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't find a good way, and now he finally invited Lao Hou from Nanjing, but he only came up with a problem of excessive utilization, but the solution was not easy to find.

At this time, when he saw five people coming, he reluctantly smiled and said, "Brother Chun is here, who are these people?" Fan Jingchun introduced, "This is Mr. Lu who sent the little girl back, who is this?" "Snake-eyed mouth fast" chemist, Kane! In his opinion, this is a chemical plant, and of course he has to fight for some face.

"But Mr. Kane, the American chemist who invented sulfonamides?" Lao Hou knows a lot, Kane swept the snake's eyes, and asked you to talk more, Lao Hou asked, "I saw that Mr. Kane kept shaking his head just now, but what is the new solution?" Kane was stared at by a large group of people, knowing that it would not work if he didn't take something out, and immediately said, "This opinion is a little bit, but I shook my head not for this, but for the current situation" Manager Fan sighed, "Alas, the soldiers are not as good as people, and there is nothing we can do about the businessmen" Kane said, "I am going to invest in the acquisition of your factory, and then help Mr. Fan move to the mainland in the name of our Yang Shen Pharmaceutical." Lao Fan's eyes lit up, this method is good, at least now the Japanese still have to buy American steel, and they don't dare to do anything to the Americans. At that moment, he said, "It's okay to buy, as long as the factory is still mine in the mainland, we don't need Mr. Kane to pay a dollar, because it's all our hard work" Kane replied, "Yes, I also want to help you get out of trouble, but I estimate that the Nanjing Bisium Factory will have to move early, because once the war starts, it can't withstand the bombing of planes."

Lao Hou was ruthless, "Then move together, it's a big deal to lose points, we can't let our hard work fall into the hands of the Japanese" Kane laughed at this time, "In fact, when building a soda plant again, it doesn't have to be so complicated at all" A few people stared at him, "What is the new way?" "Kane asked for Lao Hou's pen and paper" You see, the current Sowell alkali method, only sodium is used in the salt, and the calcium in the lime is generated into useless calcium chloride, of course, this is not absolute, when the refrigeration industry expands, it can also be used, but in the moment, these are useless waste products" After speaking, he pointed to the tall lime kiln in the distance, "It is completely possible to combine the synthesis of ammonia and alkali, the synthesis of ammonia and carbon dioxide, and then add salt precipitation, there is directly ammonium chloride, which becomes fertilizer, and, Not only does this method eliminate one-third of the equipment, but these large lime kilns are also not needed. The salt utilization rate can be increased to more than 95"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Hou slapped his thigh, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, this, this method is called?" "Let's call it the combined ammonia-alkali method," Kane snapped, thinking, I'm just saying it for you.

Excited Lao Hou went directly to the laboratory, he will not leave if he wants to make this experiment, Manager Fan had to take everyone to continue to visit the soda factory, now the red triangle soda ash has been called in China, but Lao Fan did not raise the price with Bu Neimen, but reduced the price, so that many domestic manufacturers are grateful. During the period, Kane put forward a series of suggestions, including workers' personal protection, noise reduction and dust removal, wastewater recycling and treatment, etc., and the technicians who recorded them in a small book broke out in a cold sweat.

Immediately afterwards, Kane put forward the theory of the limit of air explosion and the problem of preventing static electricity, which Fan Jingchun was also frightened, "Could it be that my flour mill and yarn mill also have this kind of danger?" If a worker makes a spark, the whole factory will blow up? Kane nodded, "As long as it reaches a certain concentration, it must be fried!" ”

After scaring everyone, he pointed out the problem of the plant's fire-fighting facilities, because once a fire occurs, the chemical plant can be extinguished at the first time, if the fire expands, no one can do anything, but now there is no factory with enough fire passages, even the configuration of fire extinguishers and the safety of the power distribution system have also put forward opinions, and the three technicians responsible for recording do not even have time to wipe the sweat. Just bury your head in writing.

Kane just spoke what was on his mind. He didn't know that one of the technicians had compiled these speeches that night and sent them to his alma mater, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the day after receiving the letter, President Compton saw the contents of the former marine's speech, and then the Washington Post published the full text, which immediately caused a heated discussion in the United States.

Kane didn't know that he was famous, and after discussing the relocation with Manager Fan, he rushed back non-stop, because when he sent a telegram to Xi'an to inquire about the situation, he soon received a call back, saying that some personnel from Union Medical College had arrived in advance, and Professor Lin and Professor Wang were arguing to see him every day, and the prospective father-in-law also took Xiao Luoluo to Xi'an, so he had to say goodbye to Manager Fan and Dr. Hou one by one, and took Snake Eyes and Miss Fan, who did not leave, to leave Tianjin by train and go straight to Xuzhou.

This year, the train speed is not fast, all the way to Xuzhou, heard the chaos on the street, soon, snake eyes squeezed into the crowd to grab a newspaper, yesterday, the North China garrison army and the 29th army in Wanping City started, suddenly the whole country boiled, Kane knows, this gunshot, will last for 8 years, the bitter and difficult nation will usher in a protracted war, countless heroic sons and daughters will lose their precious lives, at the same time, the crazy Japanese army will also be half the world at the same time involved in the frenzy of war, until they are extinguished!
