A simple reply means that the challenge is accepted, and it also means the official beginning of a long tug-of-war.

"Science" in the narrow sense is not the only way to explain the world, and for this reason, if we want more people to agree that materialism and "science" in the narrow sense are the only right way to explain the world, we need the cooperation between various disciplines, and gradually influence the next generation over a long period of time, so that they can agree that "science" is the right way.

Even though Chen Jian tried his best to create a meaningless public opinion environment where the division between organic and inorganic was meaningless, breaking through the boundary between organic and inorganic was a shortcut to make materialism more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Chen Jian is qualified to use the words "regardless of cost" at this time, but even if he does not count the cost, he must meet the technical level at this moment, which is still very difficult.

The methods he could think of were all the things he had learned in the twelve years of primary and secondary education in his previous life, because the technical level of those things that went to school was not used at this time, and what he could do now was to integrate all the knowledge learned in nine years of compulsory education and three years of high school education, and complete an extremely long and complicated experiment by relying on the elementary chemistry level that was about nine years of compulsory education at this time.

Synthesis is nothing more than the process of repolymerization of particles under the action of energy. Just as the violent aesthetic endorsement says, as long as the power is enough, the sewing machine can also go to the sky; As long as the energy is sufficient and the method is appropriate, five loaves and two fish are not delusional.

With the state of the art at this time, it is impossible to act energy directly on the chemical bonds of organic matter. For high-temperature and high-pressure catalysts, none of these three conditions can be achieved, so those simple-sounding synthesis methods are the most difficult.

Therefore, an intermediate product must be needed, and a huge amount of energy must be stored in this intermediate product, and then this intermediate product must be used for various reactions, so as to cross the insurmountable gap between the inorganic and the organic because of the inadequate level of physics, mechanical processing, and metallurgy.

Complicating a simple solution is the only tool available at this point.

After thinking about it, the simplest organic synthesis that is possible at this time is nothing more than those few things.

At this time, the definition of organic matter is not the definition of organic matter that Chen Jian is familiar with, so the other party may not admit that the three things of alkyne are so, so it must jump out of this range.

In the previous debate, Jian Chen used a trick to classify alcohol, acetic acid and the like as organic substances, and the other party acquiesced in the public reply, so this is a breakthrough.

After careful consideration, there are still many things that can be made at any cost and jump out of the three things of alkyne.

Urea, acetic acid, acetonitrile and nitrile by-products, trichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, acetaldehyde, trichloroacetate that can be disguised as menthol oil, and many other things.

These seemingly complex things can be made under the current conditions regardless of the cost, and they can be made from the most primitive and simple, common, and ordinary things.

It's just that all of this has a hurdle that can't be jumped out of, and all the first steps must be a simplest compound that stores a lot of energy, and relies on this compound for all the reactions that follow.

This compound is calcium carbide, which is also known as calcium carbide in the so-called gas lamp, which can produce acetylene when exposed to water.

With this thing, cyanide can be synthesized in the most primitive way, so as to copy the way to synthesize urea with the most basic raw materials, and the other party cannot find loopholes.

With this thing, acetylene can be produced in water, acetonitrile can be prepared with acetaldehyde and ammonia under the conditions of the laboratory at this time, and acetonitrile alkaline hydrolysis can be used to produce acetic acid, which is a feasible and simple way.

With this thing, acetylene can be produced in contact with water, and acetylene and bromine water can react to produce methyl bromide, which can then react with soda ash to form acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde has a special fruity aroma when diluted, plus it can undergo a silver mirror reaction, which is used to trick people into thinking that it is a pre-product of synthetic maltose, which looks more like an organic matter.

His mirror-making workshop has been using sugar, and now people have discovered that the aldehyde group of the silver mirror reaction is basically sugar, so in the eyes of those people, aldehydes and sugar have an indescribable connection, and it is impossible for sugar to admit that this is not organic.

Although it is an aldehyde, and it is still 108,000 miles away from sugar, a silver mirror reaction is enough to confuse the real and make some people believe that this thing is inextricably linked to sugar.

In addition to that, there's a lot of operational stuff, blah blah blah.

It can be said that as long as you get calcium carbide, many things have room to operate, but it is a little difficult to get calcium carbide out.

In fact, before the direct process of ammonia, the only ammonia industry in the world was done by calcium carbide, and before the start of the First World War, it became the basis of the ammonia synthesis explosives industry in countries other than Germany. This was the first attempt by humans to make their own fertilizer to feed a larger population and replace the Chilean saltpeter, which would consume clean, but it was not recorded in history because of the high cost.

From the fate of his elimination, we can know that this is a bottomless pit of energy consumption, energy means cost, but also means technical difficulty at this time.

The raw materials for synthetic calcium carbide are very simple, and now it is completely possible to achieve sufficient raw materials, which are nothing more than limestone and coke.

However, the difficulty is not in the raw materials, but in how to cram the huge amount of energy into the calcium carbide, or how to produce this extremely high temperature.

Even in the presence of a catalyst, this reaction is a super endothermic reaction, otherwise it is impossible to have so much energy as an intermediate product in the next step of synthesis, and a high temperature of about 2,000 degrees is required.

Regardless of the cost, it is not impossible to achieve this temperature under laboratory conditions with the current state of technology. After all, what Jian Chen wants is only calcium carbide, not pure calcium carbide, and impurities will not affect the next reaction.

In this way, Chen Jian decided to use an almost ultra-expensive method to make a small number of samples, just to prove what he wanted to prove.

If you want to produce a small amount of impure calcium carbide under simple conditions, you can use the thermite method to provide a heat source, and the high temperature of about 3,000 degrees can completely achieve the conditions for the production of a small amount of calcium carbide, which is also the first step of the feasible means of producing cyanide and chemicals by legal means.

Aluminum was an extremely expensive metal at the beginning of its existence, more expensive than platinum, and the most expensive person of the bloodline also had an aluminum cup as an heirloom - provided that Siemens had not yet come up with an excitation DC generator, and a large amount of electricity needed to be provided by the battery method, or even replaced with potassium or sodium.

At this time, the conditions can be made in the laboratory to extract aluminum, which is more expensive than gold, or the oxide that can be used as one of the materials of thermite can be produced in the laboratory, and it is not impossible to spend a lot of money.

If aluminum is the precondition for laboratory production of calcium carbide under this condition, then there are many preconditions for making aluminum, and it is likely that people will die.

With direct current, a mixture of molten cryolite and alumina can be electrolyzed to produce small quantities of aluminium in batches.

Alumina is good to say, after finding the raw materials, soda ash is used to dissolve the alumina to produce water-soluble sodium metaaluminate, soda ash Chen Jian has built a preliminary workshop, the quantity is enough.

The soda ash-dissolved alumina filters out the remaining insoluble impurities, and the remaining sodium metaaluminate solution is blown into carbon dioxide – which is also available under this condition – to generate precipitated aluminium hydroxide.

After the aluminum hydroxide is filtered out, it is washed again, and then pickled and filtered twice, and the aluminum hydroxide is calcined at high temperature, and the aluminum oxide is pure by the standard at this time.

This is the raw material of electrolytic aluminum, basically there is no technical bottleneck, as long as the specification is set regardless of the cost, there is no problem.

However, the melting point of alumina is too high, and if you want to electrolyze alumina, you must be in a molten state, which requires cryolite to dissolve the alumina, thereby reducing the temperature required for the reaction.

Cryolite is sodium hexafluoroaluminate, which is actually a finished ore of this mineral, but it is not here, and it has not been found at this time, so it needs to be made separately.

Since it is sodium hexafluoroaluminate, there is such a word fluorine, and it is inevitable that people will die in the process of making it under the current conditions.

If you want to synthesize, it's now possible.

First of all, Chen Jian and Mr. Mu Lao published a study on the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers needed by plants, and the simple sulfuric acid workshop he built in Mincheng can produce sulfuric acid. Previously, one of my senior brothers died of hydrogen fluoride poisoning in order to try to make phosphate fertilizer from apatite and concentrated sulfuric acid instead of struvite, so it is possible to produce hydrogen fluoride by producing volatile acid without volatile acid.

Hydrogen fluoride can be collected in lead vessels or in the most primitive and simple wax vessels.

Cryolite can be formed by reacting the collected hydrogen fluoride with sodium metaaluminate, which has been purified to achieve a certain goal, and the whole process is now basically trading human lives.

Hydrogen fluoride wants to kill people, it is easy and completely incurable, even if you don't die at that time, the long-term harm will follow for a lifetime, and the bones will irreversibly melt.

Another method is not much better, take fluorite, soda ash, silica sand after roasting, and then use sulfuric acid to treat the previously purified alumina to obtain aluminum sulfate, and then use aluminum sulfate and the roasting products of the previous three raw materials to generate cryolite.

It seems that this method does not produce hydrogen fluoride, but the solubility of sodium fluoride, an intermediate product produced by calcination of the first three raw materials, is very low in water, only about three or four percent. If the concentration is too low, the ratio of the reaction raw materials in the next step is not easy to grasp, and the proportion of raw materials is not clear Chen Jian is not clear, so he can only try little by little.

Although there is no need to come into contact with highly toxic hydrofluoric acid, the process of trying it takes several months, and the purity is not easy to grasp, so it is indeed not as easy as treating alumina with hydrofluoric acid.
