Chapter 513: Prepare with both hands, vowing to go against the sky
Of course, Xie Hong couldn't have known about the movements in the capital, because he didn't plan to ask for help at all, so he didn't even communicate with the capital about this matter. Although he is not omnipotent as Zhengde said, he also has his own views on this natural disaster, including how to deal with it.
Of course, he is not from a meteorological background, and he only has the support of some information about how to prevent hail from later generations, and the response methods and specific details still need to be scrutinized.
In addition to these, he also had to convince his peers that it was common sense to unify his thinking in order to ensure the concrete implementation of the strategy.
However, it is clear that the words that man will conquer heaven, even if it comes from his mouth, are still so shocking that there are few supporters. Most people did not dare to speak out because of his reputation, and although the number of people who openly objected was very small, it carried a lot of weight.
"Xie Hong, do you know what you're talking about? Brilliant Heavenly Dao, how can manpower reverse it? Or are you still lucky, thinking that Wang is alarmist? ”
Against the sky? Even with Wang Shouren's open-mindedness, he couldn't stop being angry when he heard this kind of words, Xie Hong didn't know the height of the sky, but this matter was about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, how could it be regarded as child's play?
"It doesn't matter if you are reckless, but what about the military and civilians in Liaodong? You always have to think about the big picture...... Grab it! This is the only way, grab it, there is always some hope, otherwise it ......"
Hearing Wang Shouren's words, everyone nodded silently, including Qi Cheng, who had the most fierce opposition to the original, and he even regretted a little why he didn't make a decision when he just got Mr. Wang's warning.
Now that the weather has changed suddenly, in less than ten days, millions of acres of fields in southern Liaoning can be harvested, and how much can be grabbed?
"Brother Bo'an, calm down, in fact, hail is not as terrible as you imagined, and there are many ways to prevent and control it......"
Xie Hong is very considerate of Wang Shouren's feelings, why shouldn't he? returned to Liaodong with pride, and was about to show his skills, but he ushered in such a bad news, and he was also very depressed.
This thief doesn't know if he wants to test himself and make such a big scene, once there is an omission, the efforts of the past two years will be in vain, how can people be willing?
Grabbing is easier said than done, but what about the consequences? It's a more difficult life in the coming year, I didn't come to Liaodong to do this, I came here to bring hope to the people of Liaodong and let them live a good life.
Therefore, the only way to deal with it is to fight against the sky and go against the sky!
"There are many ways to prevent it?" Wang Shouren glared at Xie Hong and asked suspiciously: "Then you should tell Wang, what are the methods?" Why? ”
He knew that Xie Hong's knowledge was complex and extensive, and most of them couldn't tell the reason, so he didn't ask about any classics, and directly asked about the principle.
"Well...... "How can this be" The method of preventing hail Xie Hong remembers a lot, but whether it is the principle or the phenomenon, it is difficult to explain, "For example, it can be ...... by rockets Oh, you guys don't know what a rocket is? It's similar to the kind of herald arrow used by the god machine camp...... Oh, fireworks, you know this, right? ”
Xie Hong wiped a cold sweat, "Use rockets to put some chemical reagents...... Well, let's let Brother Zeng explain it to you, anyway, it is to send things to the clouds, and then the cloud structure will be destroyed, the hail will turn into rain, and naturally it will be safe. ”
"Are you sure?" Wang Shouren is quite calm, at least he can ask questions. The others were already stammering, completely unaware of what Xie Hong was talking about, sending something to the clouds, was it a sacrifice to God?
"Sure." Xie Hong smiled confidently, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
Those chemical reagents include dry ice, silver iodide, lead iodide, and it seems that the salt is also reliable, but the first two don't think about it, not to mention that they can't be refined, and they can't be preserved if they are refined, but it seems that lead iodide can be tried, as for the salt...... This can only be said to be better than nothing, right?
Seeing that Wang Shouren seemed to want to refute, Xie Hong hurriedly added: "Actually, it's okay without these reagents, as long as the fireworks explode in the clouds, they can also play a role......
"Xie Hong, you still have research on sacrifices, but what sect are you talking about, what kind of ritual?" Wang Shouren's brows tightened.
Embarrassment, the knowledge of natural science is not popularized, the consequences are really serious, I use a very scientific method, to you, why did you become a god?
"It's not a sacrifice...... Well, it's better to worship the sky, in addition to putting rockets and fireworks into the sky, it seems that it is also useful to burn fires on the ground, anyway, it is to use various means to cause changes in the clouds, and you can break the hail. ”
Xie Hong decided not to explain, even if it was a great talent like Wang Shouren, he could predict the weather by observing the sky, and the prediction was more accurate than that of the Meteorological Bureau in later generations, but if he didn't understand, he didn't understand, and it was difficult to explain it for a while, so he simply implemented it strongly.
"It's about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, how can it be ......" Wang Shouren's attitude is also very resolute, Xie Hong didn't explain, he was not sure that Xie Hong was not sure, when he made new farm tools, although Xie Hong said that the mechanical principles were profound, there were always traces to follow, but today it has been changed to a fantasy style, how can people believe it?
"Five days!" Xie Hong stretched out a hand, spread his five fingers and said, "Brother Bo'an, within five days, I will start to implement the method of preventing hail, if it doesn't work, I will rush to collect it, how about it?" ”
"Time is a bit ...... the press"
Infected by Xie Hong's determined attitude, Wang Shouren also hesitated a little, he was not a stubborn person, but he was too concerned about people's livelihood, so he was a little excited. If he can really make the hail disperse as Xie Hong said, then he is also very happy to see a bumper harvest.
Xie Hong suddenly turned his head and asked, "Has Master Guo arrived?" ”
"It's here, Master Hou, do you want to invite him in?" Guo Xiao was the person in charge of the blacksmith workshop, and after the urgent report from Liaozhong and Liaonan arrived, Wang Shouren had already ordered someone to invite him.
"Hmm."
"I've seen Master Hou, I've seen ......" As soon as he entered the door, Blacksmith Guo was taken aback by the atmosphere in the hall, so that he was a little at a loss.
"Master Guo, how many combine harvesters are there now?" Xie Hong waved his hand, interrupted his politeness, and asked directly.
"According to your orders, Master Hou, I have been in a hurry, and now there are five hundred shelves in the warehouse, including ten large ......" Guo Blacksmith is not only good at craftsmanship, but also good at remembering his surname, and answers Xie Hong's questions fluently.
"Well, it should be enough," Xie Hong nodded slightly, turned his head to Wang Shouren and said: "Brother Bo'an, this should be at ease, ordinary combine harvesters can be pulled by two horses, and they can harvest a hundred acres of fields in a day, and large ones can be pulled by forty horses, and nearly a thousand acres can be harvested in a day, as long as these things are distributed, millions of acres of fields will only take a few days." ”
"Really?" Wang Shouren's previous confidence also came from this, but this combine harvester is different from other new farm tools, although he has seen the real thing, but its effect is not very good, after all, there is no actual practice, at first glance Xie Hong reported the figures, he was also shocked.
Others are even more shocked, hundreds of acres a day? That can't be the role of thirty or fifty people? What kind of harvester is this, isn't it, and there is that large, forty horses pulled by horses, nearly a thousand acres a day? There are so many magic weapons of Hou Ye!
"Brother Bo'an, don't worry, otherwise you can take it out and demonstrate it later, and you'll know when the time comes." Xie Hong smiled slightly, "Don't worry about the horses, I will send an order to General Yang and let them lend military horses, everything is mainly harvested, even if it is a field in the whole Liao, it will be about five or six days." ”
The combine harvester, also known as Combein, is a harvesting machine that can complete the harvesting, threshing, separating stems, and removing debris of cereal crops at one time, and obtain grains directly from the field.
This thing was originally made by the Americans in the 19th century, and it was pulled by horses, and Xie Hong, who conceived the new farm tools, certainly did not let it go. Before he went to sea, he was already making it in the blacksmith's workshop, so he was confident in the speed of the harvest.
"However, if this thing is going to come in handy, it is estimated that it will have to wait until next month, Master Guo, you show that thing to Brother Bo'an and them, I will go to Brother Zeng to discuss the prevention and control of hail......"
Xie Hong didn't delay much, he didn't even plan to participate in the demonstration of the harvester, and he explained various matters in his mouth, but the person had already raised his legs and left, and the words were still unfinished, but the figure was already far away.
“…… Then please Master Guo. Xie Hong said very confidently, but before seeing the actual effect, Wang Shouren didn't dare to believe it.
"Don't dare to be, please come with me." Blacksmith Guo didn't dare to slack off, and led everyone to the industrial area according to his words.
......, "Brother Xie, I have already refined some of the lead iodide you mentioned, but according to what you said, the quantity is insufficient, covering the entire Liaodong...... That's a lot of money! ”
Zeng Zheng was used to Xie Hong's running over in a hurry, when he was in Xuanfu and the capital, if Xie Hong suddenly remembered something, he would run over like this, but he was still startled by what Xie Hong said.
"That's right, I forgot about it." Xie Hong scratched the back of his head, a little annoyed.
The use and refining method of lead iodide was told to Zeng Zheng a long time ago, but iodide is needed to make this thing, and natural iodide is only available in the sea, so it has been delayed.
After arriving in Lushun, Zeng Zheng mentioned this matter again, of course, for research, and Xie Hong also pondered that in case of drought, artificial rainfall or something could be considered, so he had a plan to produce lead iodide.
Of course, Xie Hong didn't plan to really apply it, and artificial rainfall also had to be based on weather changes, taking advantage of the situation, if there was a big drought, there was no moisture in the air, and how much lead iodide was thrown on it was useless, and this plan was mainly for research purposes.
Who would have thought that it would really be used today, and the production volume has become another thorny problem.
"It doesn't matter, let the people of the Institute of Chemical Engineering move, let's start work with all our might, and there are a lot of North Korean sailors, just let them go to catch seaweed, and they can make as much as they want...... Anyway, I made a mistake on this day. ”
