Chapter 69: The Three Pits of Lewdness (Part II)

The production of these two products can be made by money and people. The original battery can also rely on money to pile up enough power, and even the most primitive large-scale hand-cranked generator can be used. Even if it is not practical, it can be used by craftsmen, eucommia gum, copper wire, and animal power to produce an unstable current.

Once the experimental nature of expensive electrolytic aluminum is successful, then the most difficult first step of the whole experimental system - the energy problem - can be solved.

The oxidant in thermite can be prepared by various methods, with iron oxide being the most common, but the reaction rate is too fast.

The high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees is a bit wasteful, but using vanadium pentoxide, which has a slower reaction rate, as an oxidant, Chen Jian is not easy to get this thing out of for a while, so he can only use a large amount of ferric oxide at any cost.

I have a sulfuric acid workshop and a flying ball club, and some people are willing to spend money to buy hydrogen, so they can react with sulfuric acid and iron to form ferrous sulfate, which is negligible and is just a by-product.

The ferrous sulfate solution reacts rapidly with excess soda ash before oxidation to form an iron hydroxide colloid, which is in the same solution as ferrous sulfate.

Using ferric hydroxide colloids as crystal nuclei, excess air is introduced after heating, so that the oxygen in the air quickly oxidizes ferrous iron to ferric iron, and then these ferrics are condensed and precipitated near the crystal nucleus of ferric hydroxide colloids to form pure ferric oxide.

Ferric oxide plus aluminum powder is a common thermite agent.

Under dry conditions, the mixed coke and limestone are heated with thermite under the condition of air with limestone as the base, and a huge amount of energy can be stored in the calcium carbide in the form of endothermic reaction.

Because of the presence of nitrogen in the air and the consumption of oxygen by coke combustion, a certain amount of calcium cyanide can also be produced during the heating process.

Similarly, calcium carbide can also be used alone to produce calcium cyanide when heated and nitrogen-present. Calcium cyanide releases ammonia gas when exposed to water, which is the first method of synthesizing ammonia, and under the current laboratory conditions, as long as there is calcium carbide, it is not difficult to make it.

Calcium cyanide reacts with salt to produce highly toxic cyanide melt, which is a necessary thing for the metallurgical industry and is also a highly toxic poison.

The cyanide melt contains potassium cyanide and calcium cyanide, sodium cyanide and other highly toxic substances, and potassium cyanide can be prepared by reacting potassium cyanide and lead oxide.

Lead oxide is easy to get, and the red commonly used in pills is lead tetroxide, which can be obtained after heating. Or it can be heated with lead acetate, which is said to be sterilized, and the crude ammonia obtained by distilled coal is heated under alkaline conditions, and yellow lead oxide will appear.

Lead oxide is easy to come into contact with the air to produce red red, which needs to be used at any time, and the problem is not big, lead and vinegar can still be guaranteed to be enough.

After relying on lead oxide and potassium cyanide to produce potassium cyanoate, potassium cyanoate can be used to react with a large amount of silver nitrate in Chen Jian's mirror-making workshop to produce silver cyanoate.

Silver cyrate reacts with ammonium chloride to generate silver chloride precipitate and ammonia cyrate, and at this point, there is only one simple chemical reaction left from urea.

Chen Jian carefully considered the whole process, basically there is nothing that is impossible to complete under the technical conditions at this time, as long as the direction is right, the other party will not be able to find any loopholes.

After the synthesis of urea in history, the organic-inorganic debate did not stop, because the precursor of ammonia cynicate could not be synthesized at that time.

But in this process, Chen Jian used either metal or lime and salt throughout the process...... Including table salt, it can also be synthesized with chlorine and electrolytic sodium in an expensive and cost-free way, so it can be said that there are no loopholes to be drilled.

At this time, whether urea will be recognized by the other party or not, it is not possible to use the methods of chemistry and polemics, but to jump to obscene biology.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and proteins must have nitrogen, and urea contains a nitrogen source, and it is a nitrogen source that can be used by plants but not by animals.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for a person to eat urea to supplement nitrogen.

However, there is a loophole, there are a large number of microorganisms in the stomach of ruminants such as sheep and cows, which others do not know, so for Chen Jian, this is a loophole that can be exploited.

These microorganisms can use urea as a nitrogen source to synthesize amino acids that feed the sheep's body. In other words, the sheep is the product of fermentation of microorganisms in the stomach of the sheep, rather than directly using the plant.

So all it takes is a cruel experiment to leave the other side speechless - cut the sheep's esophagus and feed it daily glucose, inorganic salts, a small amount of phosphate and the rest of the nitrogen-free necessities of life, plus urea, the only source of nitrogen.

In another comparison experiment, the other sheep only cut the esophagus to feed sugar and nitrogen-free inorganic salts, and it was clear that the comparison sheep would not be long dead.

The surviving one, after half a year, weighs and dissects the sheep, as long as it can be proved that the lean meat of the sheep has also grown and not just fat, then the other party can be made to admit that urea is their definition of organic matter.

Urea is present in the urine, so this experiment is equivalent to drinking urine to grow flesh - although it obscenely exploits the loopholes of biology - but now it can be proved that the substance is indestructible, and there is no need for any transformation such as life essence.

The whole process of the experiment was long, from the beginning of the production of alumina to the completion of the last step, Chen Jian could not do it himself, and a large number of people were needed to do laboratory labor.

Fortunately, there is such a foundation in Nan'an, Minjun, and the education that began eight years ago has raised enough children who have grown up and can mechanically complete all the steps according to the rules and regulations.

And a large amount of funds from the party can also support Chen Jian to complete this whole set of experiments.

The timing was perfect because Chen Jian planned to hold a World Exposition in three years' time, using a variety of models and laboratory methods to demonstrate future scenarios such as electricity and steam, and the results and process of the entire experiment could be announced.

In the past three years, he can also continue to lure the other party obscenely, force the other party into a dead end, and make the other party think that he has no possibility of winning, so as to produce joy and frivolity after victory, so that Chen Jian can have loopholes to drill.

And they should use these three years to let the other party dig and bury their own pits, and when the time comes, they will complete the fatal blow, so as not to need to dig their own pits and bury them.

Urea, which does not have any reactions of non-synthesizable substances in the whole process, is the key to the whole polemic plan, and it is also the most difficult experiment, which is mainly reflected in the highly toxic substances produced in the process.

Whether it is hydrogen fluoride made from cryolite in the early stage, or cyanide melt, potassium cyanide and the like in the later stage, its toxicity belongs to the level of Yongzhou snake that can be touched to death, and the current level of protection is not enough, and the difficulty can be imagined.

In addition to this main polemical evidence, Chen Jian also needs to use the time of the past two or three years to make several preparations, and they are all preparations for indecent exploitation of loopholes.

first force the other party to underestimate the enemy, and then let the other party fall into the trap he has laid, and he can't be anxious.

And the trap can't just be a reaction of urea using microorganisms hidden in the sheep's stomach, and the rest of the pit needs to bury the opponent.

Once calcium carbide is successfully manufactured, Chen Jian can use a small amount of calcium carbide to react with water to produce acetylene.

Nowadays, the salt industry has developed, a large number of salt brine contains bromine, and the same Chilean saltpeter also contains a very high order of bromine, coupled with the gradual development of photography, the use of bromine and acetylene reaction to deceive people, not only can win the debate, but also promote the development of the chemical industry, the use of photography to improve the level of extraction of bromine and iodine, try to make this debate after the photographic technology to the level of silver iodide and silver bromide, basically you can do real clear photography.

In the previous Xuegong experiments, Chen Jian had used concentrated sulfuric acid and alcohol reaction to make ether, and he also anesthetized a dog at that time, and now it is also used in the anesthesia of some simple surgeries of nobles.

Bromine is soluble in water and easily soluble in ether, which can be obtained by means similar to the solubility method to make salt.

Chlorine can now be made as a by-product of the original alkali production process and has been used to produce bleaching powder. Chlorine gas is introduced into the ether solution of salt brine to obtain an ether solution of bromine, and then the difference in solubility is used to get the bromine out of the ether.

Acetylene formed by the reaction of calcium carbide and water is an unsaturated compound, and when the addition reaction of unsaturated compounds, hydrogen should be added to the side with more hydrogen, so when bromine reacts with acetylene - if this theorem of Chen Jian High School is correct - it can be inverted that two bromines will have a high probability of being on one carbon, thus generating dibromoethane, but the two bromines are not distributed on the two carbons of ethane, but fixed on one.

In this way, let this strange product react with soda ash, and the two hydroxides will replace the two bromine, thus completing the gorgeous transition from hydroxide to hydroxyl, although it looks like hydroxyl and hydroxide look the same, but it still needs to be transformed.

Because the two bromines were previously connected to the same carbon of ethane, the two hydroxyl groups were also connected to the same carbon, but one carbon could not accommodate two hydroxyl groups, so it collapsed at the moment of formation.

A hydroxyl group must grab a hydrogen from the carbon around it to form water, and then the original one-carbon bihydroxyl group becomes an aldehyde group, thus forming acetaldehyde.

Acetaldehyde can undergo a silver mirror reaction, which goes without saying, and it is completely possible to use the silver mirror reaction of maltose to lure others into believing that acetaldehyde is a previous step in the synthesis of sugar.

In addition, acetaldehyde can be used to produce alcohol under laboratory conditions, and it only takes a little proof that it can be produced, even if this gap is crossed.

Reuse the alcohol produced by the fermentation method - after the laboratory method proves that acetaldehyde can produce alcohol, how the alcohol comes from can be ignored, the experiment itself is not for industrial production, but only to prove that there is no insurmountable gap between the two - the alcohol is heated in a water bath at 90 degrees and passed into chlorine gas to produce chlorine oil of trichloroacetaldehyde, which is then reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid to collect trichloroacetaldehyde that can be used.

Add trichloroacetaldehyde to 20% water, stir it into porridge, and place it in a place where calcium chloride or hydrated lime absorbs moisture to dry and crystallize naturally, which is chloral hydrate, the first generation of sedative drugs.

This thing can be said to have crossed not only the organic and inorganic divide, but also the spiritual and material divide—a powerful proof that the spiritual can be manipulated by matter.

The first generation of sedatives, storage can make people have mental changes - in this way, not to mention the essence of life, even the spirit or soul can be manipulated with matter, and this substance is neither from herbs nor plants, the whole process is synthesized from the simplest things, and the source is only metal, lime, coke, and chlorine......

To put it more seriously, the so-called emotions are just some kind of material manipulation, Chen Jian felt that disciplining the other party surrendered and retreated without a fight, and the three pits made the other party completely powerless to fight back.
