The planting is completed, the next wave of tasks has not finally come out, Yang Yuanzhao has the effort to pay attention to the development of Baotou industry, nitric acid handed over to Smith's side, Baotou's side, and did not stop, although Ricks does not have a complete plan, the general plan, can still be made, in a corner of Baotou, the sewer of the industrial zone, and the downwind, this is the future, the location of the synthetic ammonia factory, synthetic ammonia is an important raw material, he can directly lead the production of fertilizer plants and nitric acid plants.

Therefore, two pieces of land around it have also been planned, one is a smaller one for the future nitric acid factory, and the other part is a large one for the fertilizer factory.

Fertilizer plant, will be in the future Baotou Industrial Park, occupy a relatively high position, large fertilizer project, is a must, China has been, maintain the habit of farming, in the millennium of farming, farmers will use fallow, or the method of rotation, but the consumption of thousands of years, for China's land, the fertility of the land is slowly overdrawn, grain production will decline year by year.

Chemical fertilizer, to be precise, urea, in later generations, because of excessive use, caused by soil compaction, in this era, there is no need to consider this problem for the time being, excessive consumption of land, urgent need for the help of chemical fertilizer, so the effect of chemical fertilizer in China, is very amazing.

Just around Baotou, 60,000 hectares of land, more than 6 million acres, the consumption of chemical fertilizer, will exceed 300 million kilograms, that is, 300,000 tons, such a use, the all-in-one machine can not meet at all, 200 tons a day, to produce fertilizer suitable for Baotou agricultural production, it takes 10 years, in the future, when the all-in-one machine is upgraded, it will be shortened to 5 years, or even 2 years, but the all-in-one machine, can not be used for the production of fertilizer, for Yang Yuanzhao, the most important effect of the all-in-one machine, It is still placed on the yield or the yield rate is not high, such as high-magnification optical lenses, microscopes, and future electronic products, steel and fertilizer, just emergency use.

The project of this fertilizer plant was a bit rushed, and the preparatory work had been done before the Smith Shiyàn room in Shanghai was thoroughly studied, but it was just to reduce the time a little.

Yang Yuanzhao received a telegram from Shanghai, and used a few telegrams to briefly describe their final results, of course, a more detailed process, will be transported to Baotou by a special person, a relay of boats and trains, Yang Yuanzhao has missed the network and fax machine of later generations countless times, but unfortunately those are all things that will be there after the telephone is really popularized, and now, some too early.

The launch of the fertilizer factory is not a secret, and Yang Yuanzhao didn't plan to keep it a secret, but he didn't think about cooperating with others, but before he could settle down for a few days, Yang Yue came over.

"Cousin Ji, how did you come here, how did you do the wheat thing!"

"The wheat grows well!" Yang Yue briefly talked about the current progress of wheat, and then transferred to the fertilizer factory.

Yang Yuanzhao knew Yang Yue's purpose as soon as he heard it, with the application of chemical fertilizer more and more, chemical fertilizer has become an important weapon for northwest agriculture to be compared with the production area, before, the land was barren, there was not much output in the northwest, a certain amount of production can also be turned into cotton silos and granaries, the whole west, longer sunshine conditions, a certain degree of dù above, suitable for cotton production, and then auxiliary scientific management methods and the use of chemical fertilizers, a certain amount of dù above, is an efficiency multiplier, The bumper harvest of the reclamation company is already a clear proof, and many landlords have seen the magic of chemical fertilizer the most.

It is precisely because of this situation that there are more and more landlords who are willing to join the camp of the Dao Baoken Company, and the land suitable for planting near Baotou will join the Dao system.

"Cousin Ji, do you mean that the Yang family is willing to take a stake in the fertilizer factory?"

Yang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just the Yang family!" ”

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao knows that now the eight Jin merchants who have joined the textile factory, as well as many landlords, they are supporters of the reclamation company, and they just felt that this fertilizer was imported from abroad, so they didn't think much about it, and now they know that the cost can be produced, and they suddenly became interested, what is a bigger industry than agriculture, how many farmers and how much land there are in China, if grain production can be increased, cotton production can be increased, 1 yuan per mu of land, or even more, no problem, what a broad market this is, Even cotton cloth may not have a large market for this.

"The matter of the fertilizer plant is just a preparation, and the specific investment and scale will not be able to be done until the synthetic ammonia plant is finalized!"

Yang Yue sighed and said: "Before, Brother Yuanzhao used chemical fertilizer, I thought it was unlikely, because the cost was too high, but I didn't expect that in less than half a year, maybe I could see it in Baotou, it is really impermanent!" ”

"As long as you want to, there is nothing you can't do, China's backwardness is not only scientific, but also ideological, cousin Ji has not achieved a lot of results these days, if it was changed half a year ago, can cousin Ji think of it?"

"I can't talk about you, I won't say much, the matter of the fertilizer factory, you can look at it, I believe that you will do it very well!"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, not speaking, Yang Yue quickly left, although he had not thought about it before, the fertilizer factory and everyone cooperated, not because he wanted to eat alone, the key is a problem of promotion, I didn't expect, no need for him to say more, these businessmen and landlords who have a soft spot for land, have seen the many benefits of chemical fertilizer, in a sense, it is equivalent to saving him a lot of tongue, in addition to the initial fertilizer plant production is insufficient, once the output comes up, this sales, is not a problem.

Winter in Baotou. Unusual cold. In a sunny and cold climate. In the wilderness, the location of the industrial area has become a huge construction site, and the work has not stopped since August and September, but today's project is strange and strange.

A huge building. Ing. Non-stop construction. From a distance, it is a huge ball shape, which looks completely different from the previous machine, and the huge cylindrical tank is more impactful than the previous tall building.

This is a high-pressure sealed tank imported directly from Germany and successfully manufactured. Let's be honest. In the current Baotou know this machine qì. There are very few who can say what he is doing. Yang Yuanzhao led a group of workers to install this equipment nervously.

More than a week ago, I received a telegram with a simple plan, and last evening, a detailed report on it had been sent from Shanghai to Baotou, so today the comprehensive and systematic construction began.

Ricks is also among them, as a qualified engineer, after getting the information from Smith's real room, when it is not perfect, knowing the efficacy of the entire equipment and the actual effect, he confidently started the preliminary facilities, put the machine qì equipment one by one, put it into the right position, and now, after getting the complete strategy, he let go of his hands and feet, and began to work hard.

Electrolysis of water, air separator, basically, are mature products, from the second-hand equipment transported from Germany, you can get, the key is how to clean out the oxygen in the air, choose the method of burning the carbon layer at low temperature many times, as long as this airtightness is maintained, in the real yàn, the air needs many times, in order to be able to clean up most of the oxygen, when the oxygen in the air gradually disappears, the burning charcoal, will also be extinguished, this is a complete cycle process.

Two huge sealed jars. A high temperature that can withstand about 500 degrees is the most important reaction tank, and the largest one is placed here, almost 200 cubic meters, and the huge tank is almost as high as a few floors, which is very eye-catching in Baotou. The other one is larger, full of 500 cubic meters, the technical difficulty, it is much simpler, this is a tank to remove carbon dioxide, after the combustion of multiple layers of carbon, after removing oxygen, the remaining gas, with the help of 70 atmospheres, remove the carbon dioxide, and then the remaining gas, will be loaded into a special sealed cylinder, which is the raw material for the future synthesis of ammonia.

This is the part of synthetic ammonia that belongs to nitrogen, the separation of inert gases, and the Smith room also wants to remove, but the liquefaction temperature of some inert gases and nitrogen is more detailed, and such separation has little impact on the final result.

Hydrogen generated by electrolysis of water, in this era, has been very common, there is already one of the second-hand equipment in Germany, although relatively small, but it can be done, the amount of hydrogen used, far less than nitrogen, after the synthesis of ammonia, the future use will also recover part, hydrogen generation tank is a little less, it is also acceptable. These two parts need to be produced separately, in the two parts of the factory, finally, after the completion of purification, will converge to the center of the whole factory, which is also the most important equipment of the whole factory, the area of synthetic ammonia, which is the key to determining the synthetic ammonia project, and the final construction project, there are many pipelines connected, in this era, there are few accurate gas valves, which need to be designed, and the table xiàn comes out, so that the proportion of gas entering the reaction tank can be accurately controlled. This is the final result of multi-party comparison and calculation. RS
