Chapter 338: Rubber

The electrical appliance factory is the name given by Li Xiang temporarily, and there are many classifications in the electrical industry, which are far from being summed up by an electrical appliance factory. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just that in the current situation, the manufacturing of wires and motors is the starting point, so for the time being, I have to give a name casually.

After returning home, Li Xiang ate some dinner indiscriminately and got up in the yard again. Lu Shiya originally prepared a table of quite sumptuous meals, but now seeing that Li Xiang was not in the mood, she knew that he was thinking about things in his heart, so she stood quietly next to him, for fear of making a noise that would disrupt his train of thought.

Judging from the situation in the past few days, the local refining of crude oil is still feasible, and the next step is to consider obtaining kerosene. With glass and kerosene, it was possible to make kerosene lamps with covers, and in the seventies, there were several of them in each house. With the cover lamp, it is much more convenient to work overtime, and you can also make a kerosene stove, make a bowl of egg and meat noodles in the laboratory, and get some wine to drink, which can also add a lot of fun, but isn't the laboratory forbidden? However, Li Xiang obviously didn't expect that soon after, kerosene lamps were very popular in Lin'an City, but the laboratory did not need kerosene lamps to illuminate.

Although Li Xiang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, some things still went beyond his expectations, such as chemistry. In ancient China, there was naturally a certain foundation for mechanical manufacturing and mechanism design, but the discipline of chemistry was developed very late, and only some simple metallurgical or alchemy methods were circulated among the people at that time. Now, with the comprehensive teaching of Lin'an University, these technicians have been able to make rose pH test strips, and can determine the approximate composition of chemicals by acidity and alkalinity, and can use the principle of redox-reduction reaction to produce different salts, acids and bases. Although porcelain is still used as a laboratory instrument, it is quite remarkable that this progress has been made, and since the glass factory has begun to operate, glassware can be produced in large quantities, and there is no need to worry about the equipment needed for chemical experiments.

The reason why he was fortunate was that the Song Dynasty was still in a prosperous period, and if there was more than ten years of war, how could he allow himself to engage in scientific research here? In addition, Li Xiang felt that it was extremely wise for him to spread his knowledge widely, otherwise how could he achieve the current level of development by himself? There have been many breakthroughs in areas that he himself has not personally participated in, as evidenced by the example of glass making, not to mention that there are already people in Lin'an City who can independently design steam engines. In fact, Li Xiang even felt that the level of scholars in some aspects was already higher than his own.

If this exhibition continues, in less than a year, the manufacturing industry of the entire Southern Song Dynasty will inevitably be a revolution, although I dare not say that the industrial revolution will begin, at least there are technical conditions.

Of course, Li Xiang is also developing industry in his own territory, that is, Shaoxi Mansion, but the scale is not as big as Lin'an, after all, Lin'an is the capital of a country, and here is to devote the power of a country to develop industry, which is naturally much faster and much larger.

According to the current exhibition situation, Li Xiang needs to make an extremely detailed plan again. This plan involves technology, military, economy, agriculture, commerce and other fields, of course, in addition to technology, Li Xiang has a blank knowledge base for other aspects, despite this, he still made some fame with the super 3D printer This treasure encyclopedia. In just one night, Li Xiang has come up with a fairly detailed exhibition plan, of course, he knows that this plan will obviously not be adopted by the court, let alone operable, so these things sorted out are basically not a plan, but can only be used to make his own ideas.

At this point, Li Xiang was already extremely surprised, and he continued to look at it, but now the rubber produced by this plant Eucommia ulmoides is extremely practical. The book also wrote: Eucommia ulmoides gum is one of the natural rubbers, produced from the eucommia tree belonging to the family Eucommiaceae, which is a specialty of China. In addition to wood, the leaves, roots, bark, and seeds of the Eucommia ulmoides tree contain Eucommia gum. The extraction method is different from the tropical Gutabo rubber and Brazilian rubber, and can only be obtained by solvent extraction, grinding and flotation, and alkali immersion washing method. Eucommia ulmoides rubber is a leather-like tough substance at room temperature, pure rubber is colorless, and commercial rubber has a variety of colors.

Pure rubber has plasticity at high temperature, and can return to its original properties after cooling, so it can be used to open thermoplastic functional materials, thermoelastic shape memory materials, and can be used for the opening of tires in aviation and related industries, so as to minimize the disasters caused by aircraft tire bursting. Eucommia ulmoides rubber has a lively chemical nature and is easily oxidized into a white brittle body, so antioxidants must be added in time when grinding, flotation and drying. In addition, Eucommia ulmoides rubber has good insulation and water resistance. For a long time, it has been used for underwater wires or submarine cables, or for the direct manufacture of electrical insulation equipment, acid- or alkali-resistant linings, etc.

After staying up all night, Li Xiang finally put to the last detail of the plan. He walked outside the door to take a breath, sat on the threshold again and rethought for a while, and was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, when he saw Lu Shiya come over with a plate of snacks. Li Xiang recognized at a glance that Lu Shiya was serving a cake, and couldn't help but secretly complain, thinking that it had been a month since Shiya's birthday, and this girl was obsessed with making cakes, not only that, but she was busy ordering seventeen candles, as if she was preparing for next year's birthday.

Li Xiang sighed, and was about to enjoy the cake that he had eaten for more than a month, when he saw Zhao Er running over in a hurry and said urgently: "My lord, Miss Shi, please go to the breeding department immediately." He added: "It was the Lingzhu girl who came to report, and it seems that something big has happened." ”

"What?" Li Xiang jumped up when he heard this, and a bad premonition suddenly hit his heart, could it be that there was a fire? He didn't have time to think about it, so he ran out of the gate in three steps and one step at a time, only to hear Lu Shiya shouting from behind: "Brother Li, you haven't eaten breakfast yet." Li Xiang hurriedly folded back again, picked up two pieces of cake and stuffed them in his mouth, Xu had already prepared the carriage, and the group went straight to the breeding department.

As soon as he got in the car, Li Xiang felt that he was too anxious just now, and now he didn't even figure out what was going on, so he reacted like this, obviously because he took that batch of rice seeds very seriously, no matter what, let's talk about it when I go to the breeding department. Thinking like this, Li Xiang was sleepy and tired, and he fell asleep in the car.

When he woke up, the carriage had stopped, Li Xiang hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, and was taken aback, it was almost noon at this time, he looked around a little, and saw a few people standing not far away, Li Xiang recognized that two of them were the head of the household Shangshu Shi Xun and the person surnamed Liu, and the other was dressed in a pink robe, facing him sideways, it was Shi Bingxue, and his expression was very worried.

Li Xiang was about to get out of the car to say hello, and heard Zhao Er's voice next to him: "My lord, are you awake?" Li Xiang turned his head and saw that there was a person standing next to the car, it was Zhao Er. (To be continued.) )
