In the middle of the synthetic ammonia factory, Yang Yuanzhao stood behind Ricks, watching Ricks command dozens of workers, as well as the construction personnel of the engineering team, jointly constructing these equipment, those existing equipment, is already a complete set of equipment, the construction is not difficult, those present are more familiar, but those original, or relying on the results of the real yàn, it requires a systematic thinking, in the middle, Ricks played a big role, whether it is for the understanding of the entire synthetic ammonia system, as well as the awareness of new equipment, Ricks is excellent.

Synthetic ammonia technology, later generations won the Nobel Prize, Haber also became a controversial chemist, won the award because of the application of synthetic ammonia in fertilizers and other fields, the controversy is that during the First World War, Haber led the chemical room, the real yàn of many poisonous gases, opened the chemical and biological agents such a Pandora's box, released a killing tool.

However, this does not affect the greatness of Haber, the production of nitric acid, there are many methods in chemistry, but not many are really applied to industry, for this era, if there is not enough deep theoretical knowledge. It is impossible to achieve a more successful chance. Fertilizer plants were a first in their time, and to be honest, the price of fertilizers was relatively high before, because they did not use the nitrogen that makes up 70% of the air. Only natural saltpeter can be used.

In this day and age, saltpeter is a very strategic forgiveness. Gunpowder in the production of the military industry in this era. More than 90% of it is natural saltpeter. The rest was also sold in the field, which barely met the needs of gunpowder production. This was also the case in Germany before, and under normal circumstances, the output of the fields sold. That is, the supply is barely put in. This yield is a matter of concern with a large amount of contamination of the soil. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for the nitrate field to be used for food production when it has fulfilled its mission, which is a huge waste for China, which has always lacked the world to grow.

Fortunately, in this era, there is already a semi-synthetic ammonia base, high-pressure closed containers, the requirements are relatively high, Germany still completed the production, to solve the synthetic ammonia, the most important process, the next is to put it into practice of the process, Smith real yàn room, as well as a series of real yàn in Baotou, finally achieved the effect, and finally the industrial setting passed, and the synthetic tank and reaction tank have also been set up.

At this time, Baotou is not the previous Baotou, a large number of scientists, coupled with the arrival of workers, in terms of scientific standards, Baotou can be said to be the best in the whole of China, although most of them are foreigners, such a special, with great significance of the factory, is very eye-catching.

No, synthetic ammonia, alarmed a lot of people, even has been obsessed with the construction of the power grid Truss was also alarmed, Truss for electromagnetism, electricity and dynamics, has a deep attainment, for chemistry, also quite understanding, a brief look at the process, did not say much, but in the next 2 days, he took out the entire ammonia plant supporting equipment, power security system, specially designed a 45,000 kilowatt electric motor qì, for the electrolysis of synthetic ammonia and other power use, The perfect design and careful matching, so that the completion of the synthetic ammonia plant, a big step forward, at least, electrolysis, there is no worry about the relationship between insufficient voltage and insufficient power.

The design and construction of the factory are relatively smooth, and the foundation laying work is also carried out smoothly, and the rest is the installation of various machinery, which is expected to be completed at the end of December, all the installation, trial production, and will go next year, Yang Yuanzhao is not in a hurry, unlike other products, this is the only one, it is possible to occupy a leading position in the world, and can solve the problem of one of the heaviest nitric acid factories in Baotou.

Nitric acid has always been a very important strategic resource, under normal circumstances, the nitric acid reserves of various countries, almost with explosives directly on the same sign, of course, is several times, in 1913, Haber in the support of the German government, zuò 3500 tons of nitric acid, the result became tens of thousands of tons of TNT, for the World War I support is huge.

The synthetic ammonia project must rely on the Smith room, from ammonia to nitric acid, the formula reflected is relatively simple, even if it does not rely on the Smith room, but Baotou side, Ricks already has some ideas, and he is not bothering the Smith room, because they may not sue this side, after all, in this era, nitric acid is a strategic resource, and any industry related to nitric acid is relatively top secret, and will not leak any possibilities.

Ammonia will be absorbed by water to form ammonia, this process is reversible, after the ammonia is purified and refined, it becomes a raw material for the manufacture of nitric acid, which is temporarily stored, partly as fertilizer, and partly, can be tested to find a way to synthesize nitric acid for industrial production......

In the past few days, Yang Yuanzhao has been at the location of the synthetic ammonia project, personally taking care of the progress of the synthetic ammonia project, and when the project was progressing smoothly, Wang Jinming also led the team to arrive near Baotou.

Feng Yuxiang has always been clean and neat, and decided to let Wang Jinming and them come over, so he didn't delay much, cleaned up the shape slightly, and went directly from the Mongolian steppe, passing down, without taking the railway, and not entering the Beijing Division, on the Mongolian grassland, a group of soldiers' rapid march, about 40 kilometers a day, had already been explored, and in full accordance with the requirements of the march, camped and encamped, in a sense, this is a rapid march for Wang Jinming, but also a training process.

It's not that no one notices them, but a bunch of obviously soldiers' stocks, on the desolate Gobi, no other goods are transported, just a march, who doesn't have long eyes, even if they don't have long eyes, 800 people, carrying about 150 long and short guns, and about 10 base bullets, small-scale wars, can be fought, elite trained soldiers, and bandits and ordinary people, are two completely different aspects.

Occasionally, I encountered a bandit who was not long-eyed, and under a charge, he took it, and he didn't even have any injuries, it took more than half a month, and he rushed thousands of miles in a row, and after passing Suiyuan, Wang Jinming sent a pair of messengers to inform Yang Yuanzhao of Baotou.

Yang Yuanzhao heard the news, he was stunned at first, he asked Wang Jinming for soldiers before, just a mention, in his opinion, the soldiers of this era are generally more greedy for power, especially guns, the reason why warlords appeared, isn't it because of this, warlords with tens of thousands of soldiers, even the rulers of the central government.

However, thinking about it again, Feng Yuxiang at this time is just an ordinary battalion management belt, holding the rights of 500 soldiers and 200 people, even if he has his support, he does not dare to show it lightly, in the inaccessible place in the northeast, it is okay, but a little bit of entry into Gyeonggi is absolutely impossible to hide, perhaps, this is the plan!

What Yang Yuanzhao didn't expect was that Feng Yuxiang was not because of what he thought, but purely because he felt Yang Yuanzhao's help, and then he felt that Yang Yuanzhao needed soldiers, so he sent him.

Anyway, whether the two sides misunderstand, 800 have been trained, and the strength of 100 elite gunners, in this world, it is absolutely not weak, according to what Wang Jinming said last time, their strength is similar to the elite of the Beiyang Army, comparable to the ordinary new army, or even more, you know, veterans, based on trained soldiers, it is easy to expand, and the arms that are a difficult thing for others are just a few orders in the all-in-one machine, even if it is 105, Even the 155 guns are the same, when equipped with the same artillery fire as Europe, with a strong logistical supply capacity, if they are active around Baotou, the role of these 800 people is absolutely powerful.

Wang Jinming is about to arrive, Yang Yuanzhao was happy at the same time, but he was slightly depressed, he didn't think so much at the time, at most, he thought that the dozens of Baotou disciples who were sent over could come back, which can be regarded as a seed, first of all, the factory protection team was established, and all factories in Baotou had factory protection teams, but that was just the nature of security guards, compared with the soldiers who had taken guns and even killed people, they were completely different things.

Want a peach, but all of a sudden came a watermelon, happy is there, but the surprise is still ahead, not to throw away, but also caught off guard, you know, Baotou during this time, the construction of the project, is too much, so, the barracks, just built a few rooms, fortunately, the yard is big enough, living 200 is already the limit, 800, really not enough.

Silently in the all-in-one machine, issued an order, the messenger is a clever man, many aspects are introduced very clearly, 800 people came, only 150 guns, and they are all old guns, he knows some, these guns, I'm afraid they are not the old things he sent to Feng Yuxiang at the beginning, either the old things that were shot down before, or simply captured from the bandits, the guns he sent, I'm afraid they are still in the northeast, there are 800 people less, and then recruit people, as long as there are guns and bullets, they can still be trained, Isn't it just half a year more?

In this case, in order to exert the combat effectiveness of these 800 people, it is necessary to have sufficient weapons.

Now the production capacity of the all-in-one machine is 8 tons per hour, 20 tons per day, 800 people, all the rifles are produced, and it is only one or two tons, plus three guns and many munitions, it will not exceed an hour, delay the production of fertilizer, this is nothing.

After doing this qiē, Yang Yuanzhao rode out of Baotou and went to greet Wang Jinming in the direction of him. RS
