Yang Yuanzhao also did not expect that the task he proposed to suppress bandits would have such a big difference, in his opinion, exterminating the bandits and ensuring the smooth trade routes of Baotou is what Baotou must do now, but most of the people are silent, neither support nor oppose.

Liu Shu glanced at Yang Yuanzhao, and then said, "Yuanzhao, are you in too much of a hurry to do this?" ”

"In a hurry?" Yang Yuanzhao glanced at Liu Shu deeply and said: "You think I'm in a hurry, I know that the caravan of the eight families can pass through the whole country, but the eight families may not be able to do what I want to do!" ”

"The bandits can't be killed!" Liu Shu said this, paused, seemed to be organizing language, glanced at Yang Yuanzhao deeply, and then said: "We can't overturn our established policy because of a loss!" ”

"This is not your purpose, you hope to rely on this bandit incident to gain something!" Yang Yuanzhao looked at Liu Shu, and then said, from the other party's reaction, he could see why the shareholders would oppose him doing this.

Baotou now, all aspects of the development of normal, the expansion of industrialization, is a step by step, with a large number of engineers from Germany and the United States, under the Yang Yuanzhao point, all aspects of the factory in Baotou, are developing normally.

"That's right, we are trying to seek a breakthrough, didn't you find that there are no new troops in Baotou and Mongolia?" Liu Shu said clearly.

The new army, Yang Yuanzhao's heart suddenly moved, Baotou is now in addition to the industrial, military, official, there is only one Yellow River patrol battalion, the patrol battalion is the system of the old army, the establishment of the old army, there is only one battalion, in addition to the Yellow River patrol battalion, and a militia regiment has been established, and the militia is stuffed with many people, in a sense, it is just a local armed force, there is no regular establishment, even Makqin and artillery, it is not something that can be casually owned.

In this sense, if Baotou wants to expand its scale, it must be on the new army, and the new army must be on the ground, and a reason is needed.

Yang Yuanzhao somewhat understood Liu Shu's thoughts, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I can't do this, the bandits must be exterminated!" ”

"Forget it, since you don't think you can do this, then do what you want, but I believe that Baotou will soon be threatened by bandits." Liu Shu and others did not force it, nor did they stop Yang Yuanzhao's actions, some things were too plain, but they were not good.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't understand, Liu Shu and their thoughts, Wang Jinming and others rushed back with all the cotton and men, for the personnel of the pension, are carried out step by step, Wang Jinming and others have not come back, so, Yang Yuanzhao's next action, not carried out, in his opinion, it should be a very easy thing to suppress bandits, Wang Jinming and others came back, under the start of the new army, the work of suppressing bandits can be carried out in a timely manner, he put his mind on the development of Baotou industry.

Time into the month of Layue, after a few months of preparation, the synthetic ammonia plant finally ran smoothly, through a few months, after a series of preparations, the synthetic ammonia plant began to produce in small batches, in the past few months, from the very beginning of 2 reaction tanks, to later erect step by step about 20 reaction tanks, the largest is 200 cubic meters, which is already the limit that science and technology can reach in this era, 200 cubic meters of reaction tanks, representing the extreme of German industry, China does not yet have the capacity to produce this, so it can only rely on Germany.

The reaction ratio of about 15, under the high-pressure closed container, the liquid synthetic ammonia produced will reach about 20 cubic meters per tank per day, a group of two, and 10 groups is 200 cubic meters, so that the output of synthetic ammonia is about 150 tons per day.

This figure has greatly exceeded the output of Germany before the First World War, you know, before the First World War, the production of nitric acid, is only about 3,500 tons, the conversion of TNT is only tens of thousands of tons, for a large country, a huge consumption of ammunition in the First World War, this amount is really not much, relying on these preparations, Germany brazenly launched a World War, in the land war, once had the upper hand.

For Yang Yuanzhao, the output of 150 tons is normal, and later generations have gradually converted from five small factories to five major factories.

300,000 tons of fertilizer is a standard value, the daily output will be as high as more than 1,000 tons, not only represents the increase in output, but also represents the improvement of synthetic capacity, you know, even if it is 300,000 tons, even a million-ton fertilizer plant, the possible reaction tank, will not be many, most of them are ancillary supporting facilities, to large, complete, powerful, reduce the unit of energy consumption and production capacity, in a certain degree dù above, is the key to the rapid development of future generations.

Now a reaction tank, the daily production, is only 20 cubic meters, more than a dozen tons of liquid ammonia, so I am afraid that in the future generations, even a small fertilizer plant can not be compared, is the most advanced technology in the current era, there is no large-scale hydraulic press, Yang Yuanzhao can only be based on the existing products, copy production, expand production is impossible, for no other reason, a 200 cubic tank, and 2000 cubic meters, 20,000 cubic meters of tank, the required materials, is completely different, not to mention the synthetic ammonia in later generations, What is needed is not only high-pressure closed containers, but also low-temperature closed containers, the pressure is large, the requirements of materials are high, far from being imaginable in this era, we can only rely on the improvement of science and technology, and slowly study it.

The output of 150 tons of ammonia a day can generate a huge amount of fertilizer, because at present, the situation of the entire agriculture in Baotou, therefore, 80 of them become fertilizer, 120 tons of ammonia, and the cost of conversion into is only a few times, in a sense, it replaces the output of the all-in-one machine.

At present, the daily output of the all-in-one machine is between 200 tons, even if the complete production of chemical fertilizer, it may not be able to support, the entire Baotou agricultural input, more than 600 acres of land, even if it is to plant seedlings, the need for chemical fertilizer is also an astronomical amount, in order to ensure the production of wheat, Yang Yuanzhao put most of the output of the all-in-one machine, inclined to the cost.

But now, with the success of synthetic ammonia, the direct manufacturing cost of synthetic ammonia, or with the help of ammonia, concentrated nitric acid, and then with concentrated nitric acid and ammonia introspection, the ammonium nitrate produced is also the main variety of nitrogen fertilizer in the world, but it is not very conducive to the absorption of plants.

Most of the ammonia is used in the production of fertilizer plants, and the remaining 20 or 30 tons are used as raw materials for the production of nitric acid, which is the focus of Yang Yuanzhao's attention.

The initial purpose of the ammonia project is to produce nitric acid, and among the five small factories, only nitric acid is the most technically high, and foreign control is relatively strict, for no other reason, almost all explosives are related to nitric acid.

The conversion of ammonia to nitric acid is easier than the process of extracting nitric acid from saltpeter, of course, this industrial production process, the whole world, no one is willing to teach this industrial production method to other enterprises or countries, Yang Yuanzhao obtained a large number of chemists from the United States and Germany, these chemists together, built a high-quality chemical laboratory, strong investment, plus a variety of the world's most advanced practical equipment, so that these scientists, I can work here more steadily, researching one product after another.

After the production of ammonia, with the help of many chemists, first of all, the production of nitric acid was completed in the real room, and then gradually expanded to industrial production, for the time being, for the time being, to solve the problem of having and not being the key is to solve the problem of having and not being, the output of the real room can only be used as a reference, the real production, for the time being, is to use the workshop to simply realize the transformation of ammonia to nitric acid, in a sense, the handicraft workshop, has become the key to the production of nitric acid.

Yang Yuanzhao did not intervene too much in this aspect, but added some new things in the plan, for example, to join the management of modern industry, with the help of large-scale, systematic, reluctantly completed the production process, Yang Yuanzhao provided, acid and alkali resistant materials, the composition of the reaction tank, far more powerful than this era.

Nitric acid is the most important basic raw material in the future, and it is the basis for the production of various explosives, and the famous TNT is produced by relying on nitric acid, and in a certain way, in the early 20th century, the output of nitric acid almost represents a part of military strength.

Britain and other powers, for nitric acid control is very strict, any flow of saltpeter is controlled, just like the drugs and oil in later generations, relying on the air to produce nitric acid, a certain process, breaking the blockade of the powers, for the armed heavy industry, is very crucial.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear that in this era of China, the military industry will always be the key to mastering power in this troubled era, the reason why Germany and the United States have obtained enough benefits in China, in addition to a German like Harpy, the more important reason is that the entry point of munitions, the all-in-one machine can produce guns that meet the requirements according to the current mainstream firearms, in a sense, the production capacity of the all-in-one machine is limited after all, and the production capacity of 8 tons cannot even be sustained with all the production of weapons. Now, with the increase in the number of troops in Baotou, it is unlikely that they will be endless, all of which will be provided by this side, and Yang Yuanzhao will start the layout of the military factory again after the completion of the three acids and two alkalis.
