Chapter 26: Triacids and Diabases

Because he already had experience in fertilizer production before, Xia Jun directly bought equipment for the construction of the phosphate fertilizer plant this time, and the factory built it himself.

Jiangxi's cultivated land area reached 40 million mu, while Zhejiang's cultivated land area is 28 million mu, plus Fujian's 17 million mu, that is, 85 million mu of cultivated land, one mu of land with 30 kilograms of chemical fertilizer, it needs 2.7 million tons of chemical fertilizer, plus forest land needs, at least 3 million tons of fertilizer production, plus to export fertilizer to other provinces, and consider the export of exports, about 3.5 million tons of output is enough.

Therefore, Xia Jun exchanged for equipment that can produce 1 million tons of phosphate fertilizer, Xia Jun calculated on the exchange platform, expanded to 1 million tons of production capacity, and only needed 5 million points to buy equipment. The equipment of 1 million tons of potash fertilizer is also 5 million points.

This deal is cost-effective, Xia Jun immediately spent 10 million points, exchanged a large amount of equipment, and chose to ship it by sea from Ningde Port.

Then he immediately greeted the Ningde side and asked them to pay attention to the receiving equipment.

In terms of nitrogen fertilizer, Xia Jun set up a salt reclamation company to produce nitrogen fertilizer at the same time as alkali production, as well as coal chemical industry and petrochemical industry, through three aspects of production.

Jiangsu's oil, which later became the Jiangsu oil field, can produce 1.5 million tons of crude oil per year.

In terms of salt, Jiangsu's well salt reserves are abundant, with 310 billion tons of well salt reserves in Jiangsu Province, 250 billion tons in Huai'an alone, and 130 billion tons with economic benefits from mining, which is enough for tens of thousands of years in terms of China's current salt consumption. Therefore, after Xia Jun exchanged the resource distribution map, he drew many small circles on the map.

Then immediately let the 'East China Petroleum Company' and the 'East China Salt Reclamation Company', which had been established for a few months, go to Jiangsu to enclose land.

and said hello to Cheng Quande, the governor of Jiangsu, and asked him to assist from the side. After Cheng Quande received the telegram, he looked at the tone of his superiors on the telegram, and he didn't dare to attack, so he obediently ran to help.

It is in the central part of Jiangsu Province, the east of Anhui Province, bordering the Yellow Sea in the east, Hongze Lake in the west, the Yangtze River in the south, and the Donglonghai Line in the north. Its coordinates are located between 32°-34° north latitude and 119°-121° east longitude. The oil distribution points in Anhui have not been drawn for the time being, but the Jiangsu side has been scratched, and all those with oil below have been drawn down.

In terms of well salt, mainly in the Huai'an enclosure, for the time being, the annual output of 1.5 million tons of refined salt is needed, and the annual consumption of 10 grams of salt by one person is about 1.5 million tons of salt in China.

Not everyone eats 10 grams of salt every day, and not everyone eats the salt sold by Xia Jun, the output of this 1.5 million tons of refined salt will be surplus, which can be used for export, or not to produce refined salt, to produce industrial salt.

Of course, Xia Jun must strive to break the tax on salt, an industry that has been monopolized by political axes since the Han Dynasty.

In terms of the demand for industrial salt, at least 500,000 tons must be required to meet the demand, but if Xia Jun increases industrial investment and produces his own in various chemical industries, the annual output of 500,000 tons will obviously not keep up with the demand, so Xia Jun will input 3 million tons of well salt in the system The annual mining volume will be calculated to be 10 million yuan for equipment and construction costs, and if he only buys equipment for his own construction, it will only cost 8 million points.

3 million tons, compared with the 68 million tons of output of China, the second largest raw salt producer in later generations, is very little, but it costs 10 million points!

Without salt, not only people's livelihood will not be guaranteed, but industry will also be impossible.

Industrial salt, also known as "sodium chloride", has a wide range of industrial uses and is one of the most basic raw materials in the chemical industry, known as the "mother of the chemical industry".

The main products of the basic chemical industry, such as hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, soda ash, ammonium chloride, chlorine, etc., are mainly produced with industrial salt as raw materials. Large quantities of sodium chloride are required in the organic synthesis industry.

In addition, it is also used in soap manufacturing, ceramics, glass production, chemical industry, oil drilling, drilling fluid, completion fluid, petrochemical dehydration fluid, early strength agent in the construction industry, coagulant for the production of coatings, latex coagulant in the rubber industry, additives in the paper industry and waste paper deinking, inorganic chemical raw materials and sulfate removers in the chemical industry, coagulant of sodium alginate, prevention and control of wheat, apples, cabbage and other rot and food preservatives, preparation of sodium metal and other sodium compounds, steel heat treatment media, etc. Salt also has a wide range of uses in water treatment, road snow removal, refrigeration and refrigeration, etc.

It is worth using 10 million points to meet the needs of industry and consumption for a year or two, and it is worth it to expand production capacity in the future, then build it yourself, after all, there is no experience now, and Xia Jun can build it himself in a year or two.

As for Haiyan, Xia Jun didn't go to it, because Haiyan was more troublesome. However, the high concentration of well salt, large reserves, and less labor are lower than the cost of sea salt, and the output of well salt in China has exceeded that of sea salt in later generations.

In terms of oil, Xia Jun plans to get an annual output of 1 million tons first, which is pitifully small compared to the output calculated in 100 million tons in later generations, but on the exchange platform, the engineering team is asked to help drill and build, and at the same time build a petrochemical plant with an annual processing capacity of 1 million tons of crude oil, which will cost 15 million points. Since Xia Jun currently has no experienced technicians, he can only ask the engineering team on the exchange platform to build it first.

The purchase of phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer production equipment, plus an annual output of 3 million tons of raw salt production capacity, and 1 million tons of crude oil production capacity plus petrochemical plants, cost Xia Jun 35 million points.

Xia Jun's points in his hand at this time were 275 million points, and he swallowed Jiangxi before, and the points on the territory brought him another 32 million points.

With these points, Xia Jun can boldly squander, of course, in advance, he has to leave the points for the construction of the army, navy, and air force, Xia Jun must update the army equipment again, and at the same time, the strength of the navy is not enough to undertake the task of coastal defense, and the air force must also begin to form, and it should be enough to reserve 80 million points.

In other words, Xia Jun can squander 195 million points.

To solve the necessary things such as fertilizer, raw salt, crude oil, etc., Xia Jun also has three acids and two alkalis, that is, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, soda ash, and caustic soda.

Among them, hydrochloric acid, soda ash and caustic soda can be manufactured with raw salt, and the raw materials are no longer a problem, but the method of making alkali has to be studied.

In 1862, the Belgian Solvay (1838-1922) invented the "Solvay alkali method" (also known as the ammonia-alkali method) that uses salt, ammonia and carbon dioxide as raw materials to produce sodium carbonate. Since then, Britain, France, Germany, the United States and other countries have successively established large-scale production of soda ash plants, and organized the Solvay Association to impose a technical blockade on countries other than members.

The Solvay alkali method has been invented for 50 years, and the technological blockade of European and American countries has also lasted for 50 years.

The alkali market in contemporary Asia is monopolized by the British company of the company, and both China and Ben have to import soda ash from the company, which seems to be very common in the 21st century, and even a junior high school student may be exposed to it in the laboratory, but in this era it is a blockade technology.

The Hou's alkali method is a more advanced alkali method than Sulvay's alkali method, which was invented by the modern chemist Hou Debang, so it was named Hou's alkali method.

Hou's alkali production method can greatly improve the efficiency of alkali production, this new process makes the salt utilization rate from 70% to 96% at once, and also converts the original useless calcium chloride into fertilizer ammonium chloride, which solves the problem of calcium chloride occupying land and destroying the field and polluting the environment.

Hou Debang seems to be studying in the United States now, and the price of this new process on the exchange platform is 10 million points, Xia Jun hesitated whether to exchange it, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

That one...... Wait for Hou Debang to return to China, arrange a good job for him, and then allocate funds to build a laboratory for him, and let him toss as he pleases.

Well! That's it.

Xia Jun thought about it for a while, so he exchanged this Hou's alkali method, and the honor that Mr. Hou Debang should have won in history was picked up by Xia Jun.

But Xia Jun can't wait! Hou's alkali method was invented in Sichuan during the Anti-Japanese War, and it seems that it is a little too late now.

Sulfuric acid is made from synthetic ammonia, the method of making nitric acid from synthetic ammonia was invented in 1913, and synthetic ammonia is made from coal and petroleum as raw materials.

Xia Jun now has coal, crude oil, can make synthetic ammonia, this process requires 10 million points, Xia Jun did not hesitate, but also exchanged this process, this process can not only greatly increase the output of nitric acid, but also reduce the cost by at least half, because this is a by-product of petrochemical industry and coal chemical industry.

With three acids and two alkalis, Xia Jun can make explosives and propellants, and there is no need to import them, and they can even be exported.

Xia Jun first spent 5 million points to exchange for equipment that can make 5,000 tons of explosives, which is naturally not enough, but the equipment of this explosives factory is too expensive, Xia Jun bought the drawings and sent people to the United States, Germany, Sweden, Belgium and other equipment manufacturing countries to order.

These drawings can be split into several parts, allowing each country to manufacture a little bit separately and then assemble them together so that no technology leaks.

Explosives are propellants and are the most basic military industry, and Xia Jun has a large demand for them, and the explosives factory only produces relatively ordinary explosives.

Xia Jun squandered 5 million points to buy the manufacturing technology of starch nitrate, which is more powerful than TNT, 120% of its explosive power, and is an important explosive in World War I, World War II and the early post-war period.

This explosive is used to make artillery shells, grenades, and mines, and although it has been invented, the manufacturing technology still costs 5 million points.

This investment is definitely wanted, and Xia Jun's most frustrating thing is the army's artillery shells and the navy's torpedoes, he must be able to produce the explosives needed for artillery shells by himself.

After squandering together, Xia Jun has squandered 65 million points, and he can also use 132 million.

Xia Jun suddenly felt that the points were not enough, because he still had to build a lot of things, such as a rifle production line, a mortar production line, an internal combustion engine production line, an electric motor production line, a motorcycle production line, a tractor production line, and an automobile production line......
