Chapter 31: Ambition

If Wanli Road is gilded, there will only be a hundred miles left after removing the water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Chen Jian is doing social surveys, but not social surveys of social movements, but social surveys of raw materials, water power, transportation and manpower, which can build factories.

In his opinion, it should be almost time to harvest, and a black heart will be in hand soon.

He will not make a move when the market of those black money is on the verge of collapse, so that if he is not careful, he will become the last taker of the most tragic market. Even though you may make more money in the end, the risk is greater.

Compared with the huge risk of the bubble bursting, Chen Jian feels that it is safer, even if it is slightly less. Lack of greed is to have nothing.

Now that you are about to get rich, what you want to do in the future to make more money can be put on the agenda.

For more than a month, he wandered around the vicinity of Mincheng, soaked in the library for a long time, and inspected the minerals and shipping prices in Mincheng to determine a general direction of development in the future.

Once the fog is lifted, he must ensure that he can form an outward expansion interest group within ten years.

At this time, no faith can compare to a fanaticism for wealth, land, money, and cheap labor. Let a Mincheng person go out to fight in the name of China, or tell a Mincheng person that there is gold, land, minerals and opportunities to make a fortune outside...... These two temptations are different.

Fame is only part of the story, the most important thing is money and benefits, and the latter two can attract more people. This will not narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, but it will allow some middle-class people to be involved in this gluttony, temporarily alleviate some contradictions, and accumulate more wealth for the entire ethnic group.

Of course, this wealth should also be used to make money, not to become the basis for some people's pursuit of luxury life.

Even if it seems that the entire ethnic group does not have too many feudal constraints and has a foundation that looks good, there is still a long way to go before the technological revolution.

In addition to making money, where to start guiding is also the goal of Chen Jian's investigation.

Many things sound simple, but they are extremely difficult to do, especially mechanical ones, and lack a lot of foundation.

The fact that one person invents a certain machine, or many machines, does not represent the beginning of a scientific and technological revolution.

For example, the steam engine is ten streets between thinking and doing.

Not to mention qualified steel, boring machines that can dig out cylinders, rubber rings for sealing...... These are just the basics.

For example, the centrifugal governor, the simplest part of the steam engine that can be put into use, and it seems that the materials that can be made at this time can be completely made, can not be used.

The principle of this simple centrifugal governor is nothing more than centrifugal force. Picking up a heavy ball by centrifugal force, in its simplest terms, is like a rattle, but of course it's a bit more complicated than that, and it also involves a quadrangular connecting rod.

The faster you turn, the higher you squeeze, so that you can adjust the valve by connecting it with a connecting rod. If it is fast, it will be lifted up, the valve will be closed, and the speed will be slowed down; If it is slow, it will not get up and fall down, open the valve, and the speed will become faster to ensure the normal speed operation of the machine.

But it is such a simple thing, which requires the parallelogram law of basic mechanics, centrifugal force, gravity, and force as the basis to calculate how much centrifugal force is caused by rotational speed, and how gravity can maintain a balance with this centrifugal force and the connecting rod valve.

Without this foundation, the result can only be made by experience, by the visual inspection and estimation of craftsmen, and by countless experiments to arrive at an unclear theory. With this foundation, a middle school student can get a theoretical value by doing arithmetic calculations, and there is no longer a need for visual estimates by craftsmen.

This is the simplest little thing that the whole steam engine completely drives the machine.

And the mechanical basis behind this little thing needs the mathematical conic curve as a theoretical basis, the analytic geometry needs to link algebra and the conic curve together in order to study something deeper, someone needs to observe the movement of the planet and calculate that it is not a circle but an ellipse to inspire gravitational force, it is necessary to deduce the relationship between centrifugal force and velocity, it is necessary to understand that force changes the original state of objects, and it is necessary to understand that inertia is not pushed up by force......

The more people who know about all this, the less likely it is to be short-lived.

This is not something that can be solved in one sentence, but it requires a whole set of science-based inferences - if God is a law that explains the world, then science is also a law that explains the world, and it only depends on which one explains the world better. It's like why one plus one equals two, there is no why, it's just a kind of foundation that is artificially prescribed, and all kinds of things developed on this basis.

Therefore, Jian Chen needs a reputation to ensure that he can speak out in the Xue Gong Taixue, at least the words he says can be heard; If you need money, you can drive it over there step by step and avoid detours; More money is needed to bring more people to the benefit of the people, so that they can understand that knowledge has power and can bring money, and do not abolish the compulsory enlightenment education that has become seriously meaningless for some of the rich; War is needed so that those who need cannon fodder know that those who have been enlightened have a stronger fighting capacity than those who are completely loose; An industrial chain is needed to get more people tied together; It takes a shameless and dark heart to let the factories bankrupt all those small farmers and small craftsmen; There is a need for a larger market and space to accommodate the internal contradictions that will then accumulate severely.

It's a technical thing.

As for the rest, he needs to have more say, and even become an indispensable figure in the new group of maritime merchants, colonizers, and foreign trade, so as to expand his influence and find a way to get the government to reach in.

Otherwise, it will be a matter of getting rich in one place and getting poorer in the rest of the region, and it will be troublesome if you don't get the separatist tendencies or the of armed resistance to taxes, refusal to pay taxes, regional autonomy, and so on.

What to do with the colonies? How to solve the fact of labor shortage in the colonies? These things need to set the tone as soon as possible, otherwise the tail will be big and there will be too much trouble in the future.

This requires Chen Jian to become at least one of the top capitalists in Mincheng as soon as possible, if he can't speak in a place like Mincheng, how can he affect more places.

Therefore, Chen Jian needs to choose an industry that can not only make money, but also include many people, and can also promote industrial upgrading in reverse, and at the same time achieve independent technology accumulation.

After turning for so long, Jian Chen has some prospects for the future in his heart. It is necessary to make money by future foreign trade or plunder, and at the same time it is necessary to build a set of things that seem expensive and meaningless for the time being while accumulating primitively.

Iron and steel materials, boring machine machinery, which require more than ten years of technical accumulation; The production of raw wrought iron or the mass production of steel requires the support of fluid mechanics, calculus, and complex conic curves, and the centrifugal blower with blades is driven by hydraulic power to bid farewell to the era of bellows water discharge, and it is possible to rapidly increase production by generating higher wind pressure.

These things need to be made, but the results are not high in a short period of time, and they need to be continuously invested while completing the original accumulation.

But there is another kind of industry, which Chen Jian can do now, relying on the foundation of mining, but he can try to make the simplest chemical industry.

It's just the simplest type, but it can complete the accumulation of technology and produce at the same time.

For example, saltpeter is used as a strong oxidant and burns with sulfur to produce sulfuric acid. This will be much more expensive than using pyrite, but this can be done now, and only by cultivating a large number of people and accumulating and perfecting technology can we slowly progress to pyrite combustion.

At the beginning, you can use the simplest lead chamber method, but if you can't do it, you can also learn those cylinder kiln methods in the big ravine, which are completely possible with today's technical conditions.

Sulfuric acid can be coheated with table salt to produce sodium sulfate, which can then be used to produce sodium carbonate with charcoal lime.

The exhaust gas of coal dry distillation coke can be used to produce crude ammonia. When Solvay's alkali production process was born, there were still decades away from synthetic ammonia, and it should have relied on the crude ammonia water of this dry distillation coal as a raw material.

These are three production methods that are more in line with the production level of the times, with low efficiency and high cost, but they can promote the development of many industries and accumulate technology.

Since you have to shed blood to progress, it is better to shed it yourself, and the earlier you flow, the more technology will accumulate.

Grass ash and ox blood are calcined and filtered to obtain potassium ferroferomygdal; Trivalent iron can be formed by reacting with high-grade hematite and acid, and the combination of the two is a dye Prussian blue, which can be used to dye cloth.

The by-products of the original alkali industry and the by-products of the acid industry can be used to bleach, pickle some fabrics, can be used to make the color whiter and brighter, and can promote the competition in the textile industry.

The hydrogen chloride tail gas produced can be collected, and soybean cake can be hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid to produce chemical soy sauce, although the taste is not as good as pure fermentation, and it is still harmful in Chen Jian's eyes. However, the cost is low and the hydrolysis rate is extremely high, and it will not be long before the low-level soy sauce industry in Mincheng can be monopolized, and all those low-level soy sauce factories will be shut down.

Stearic acid can be obtained by hydrolyzing shea butter with dilute sulfuric acid, which can be used with glycerin to make simple alabaster cream, which should occupy a certain market. By the way, you can also use saponification to make glycerin.

At the expense of cheap human life and time accumulation, sulfuric acid can be coheated with saltpeter to produce nitric acid, glycerin can not be used temporarily, and mercury nitrate can be made with nitric acid and cinnabar; Silver nitrate is produced by reacting nitric acid with silver.

The crude ammonia water of dry distillation coal can produce some ammonia or ammonium salts in small amounts, when the chemical fertilizer is too little, but it is enough to do the silver mirror reaction, and it can monopolize the mirror industry.

If after decades of development, pyrite acid production evolves from cylinder kiln to lead chamber and then to tower method, and the sulfuric acid yield is increased, and concentrated sulfuric acid and apatite can be used to generate some phosphate as the original chemical phosphate fertilizer.

The exhaust gas produced by the original alkali production process can be passed through a hot pipeline containing copper oxide and pyromanganese ore as catalysts, which can produce a part of chlorine, and a part of chlorine can be collected after passing through the hydrochloric acid solution.

Chlorine can be used to make bleaching powder, and it can also be used to oxidize ferric iron to provide raw materials for Prussian blue. At the same time, potassium chlorate can be produced by rereaction of salt or by saturated potash ore with chlorine gas.

Potassium chlorate can be used as a wrestling gun, so naturally it can also be used in wars. In addition, potassium chlorate can be used as match heads, and white phosphorus turned into red phosphorus can be used as match skins, which can make a simple handmade, highly toxic, and high mortality match factory.

These things are not achieved overnight, but if you don't do it, you can only learn from others, and mature technology can't fall from the sky without accumulating it.

Once it is slightly formed in 20 years, it will be a huge industrial chain, which can not only accumulate a chemical base, but also promote the removal of phosphorus and sulfur from various raw machinery and equipment, ventilation equipment, and steel smelting.

These are some methods that Jian Chen has long abandoned in his previous life, because of high energy consumption, danger and low efficiency. But it is precisely these inefficient and dangerous industries that do not have too many technical bottlenecks at this time.

Chen Jian feels that in addition to making money now, he really has to take out some money to start experimenting and accumulating in this area.

As for whether such ambitions can succeed, leave it to time.

If you have to bleed, explode, poison, fluorosis, death, etc., start with your own family.
