Smith is a chemist, a chemist who has studied many categories of chemistry, and knows very well that the conversion of ammonia into nitrogen, and then into nitric acid, will have earth-shaking changes in the arms industry, such an invention related to the country's fundamentals, so easily he got it, if he can realize and complete this invention, for him, it is a great thing, maybe, he can rely on this real yàn, create a giant like a company, arms, From the birth to the beginning of this world, it is a mountain of gold that contains huge profits.

Smith couldn't believe his eyes, and himself, to put it mildly, also became more important, through guò ammonia and ammonia, began to calculate the proportion of the previous synthesis, the content of ammonia is not large, and the container in the real yàn room is not big, only about 2 cubic containers, even under high pressure, that is, a few kilograms, according to what Roger said about the finished product, at least about 200 cubic meters, such a level, basically, is equivalent to industrial production.

In the end, the results came out, a little more than 12 synthesis ratios, if such a ratio is placed on the saltpeter, it is equivalent to a great waste, but in the air, it is simply too much, you must know that the remaining hydrogen and nitrogen, can also be recycled, as long as it is separated, and then repeat the process, directly use hydrogen and nitrogen to synthesize ammonia, which needs to be noted is only a temperature of 500 degrees and a pressure of 50 atmospheres, so that the conversion is successful and the production is also very easy, there are ready-made methods to borrow.

The real yàn room test is feasible, and of course Smith can't sit still, so he asks Dickson to make a 200 cubic jar, as long as this is done, it can even be directly industrialized.

Dickson went directly to the National Steel Company, which has a specialty steel mill in Chicago that specializes in custom-made specialty steels.

To tell the truth, Dickson was a little depressed, and the matter was handed over to him again, Roger, who he wanted to design, not only did not succeed, but let himself run and break his leg, but he had to run once, Smith's eyes were full of this, even if he was instructed to only, he did it again, this time, it was in the gas content, and the amount of iron, it was different, it was obvious that he was preparing, before the 200 cubic meter iron can was not delivered, he was ready to try all kinds of possible results, I want to find a more accurate way to synthesize ammonia.

The special steel plant of the National Steel Corporation of the United States, this factory is not a large steel mill in the National Steel Company, but it is a steel mill with the highest profits, ordinary one ton of steel, compared with special steel, the price is several times worse, more than ten or twenty been, this 200 cubic tank, in the special steel factory, is calculated as 27 tons, according to the price of 1,200 US dollars a ton, the total price is as high as 30,000 US dollars, you know, the price of ordinary steel in this era, only about 150 to 200The price of this steel is more than 8 times higher, and such a price is already the most expensive among the steels.

Therefore, the price of 27 tons of steel is as high as more than 30,000 US dollars, Dickson was slightly surprised, but according to what Smith said, he left a deposit of 500 US dollars and placed the order.

Just returned to Smith's room, and before he could catch his breath, a person came directly and took his order.

"This is an order placed by Smith's real yàn room!" The guy who looked like an engineer said directly and unceremoniously.

Dickson nodded and said, "It's my order!" ”

This guy looked Disheng up and down, and said after the nunnery: "We can't do this, let's return the things to you!" ”

The special steel mill of the national steel plant lost about 2 times the deposit, a total of 1500 US dollars, if it was changed to another time, Dickson would be happy, not only did not lose, but gained a lot of money, 1000 US dollars more, how to say, can get a sum of grace, but at this time, Smith almost forced him to get this high-pressure closed container, and his heart was even more depressed, to be honest, he was going to give Roger some eye medicine, but he didn't expect that this real yàn was really successful by Roger, As a chemical researcher, he knows very well that the effect of ammonia on nitric acid, it can be said that there is almost no limit in the process from ammonia to nitric acid, and if it is industrialized, ammonia can be easily made into nitric acid.

From the air, perhaps the source of nitrogen, as a raw material of nitric acid, many people are considering, the synthesis of nitrogen and oxygen, can also be completed in the room, but there is no practical value, there is nitrogen in the air, there is oxygen, under natural conditions, it is impossible to combine the two gases, even if the conditions are added, it is only a reluctant combination, very unstable.

Unexpectedly, Roger actually found another way to find a direction from the synthesis of nitrogen and hydrogen, which can be regarded as a pioneering feat.

Even Smith, who has always been deposited in the vulcanized rubber project, is a little different, he also knows very well that the value and role of this thing, Smith is also anxious about this, if this is not done well, maybe he will not be able to stay.

Dickson took this matter very seriously, ran for almost 3 days, walked at least more than 10 special steel mills, some received and then regretted, some directly looked at the standard, and said that it could not be done, and in the end, Dickson returned to the Smith room in despair, but did not complete the task, and no steel mill could do it.

As a last resort, Dickson had no choice but to find Smith and tell him about the three-day experience, telling him that he had not completed this task and had not made the high-pressure sealed tank.

"What can't be done?" Smith asked in some surprise, in his opinion, in backward China, there is such equipment, there is no reason to be strong in the United States, but there is no such equipment, this is simply a joke, just in Smith's opinion, Dickson was lazy, did not do it seriously, Dickson did not hide it, took out 3000 dollars, and handed it directly to Smith.

"What is this?" Smith said in surprise, he knew very well that the price of this high-pressure sealed jar should be expensive, all of them are made of stainless steel, and the tonnage is definitely not small, and the overall price may exceed 10,000 US dollars, even if it is a deposit, it will not be less, Dickson withdrew 500 US dollars from the financial at that time, but in the end it was 3000 US dollars.

It is not neat, even a variety of denominations, but it is a thick lump of dollars, Dickson pointed to the huge sum of 3,000 US dollars, a little bit of explanation, 1000 of the National Iron and Steel Company, several other small steel companies, or three or five hundred, or seven or eight hundred, after all, directly left a deposit of 500 US dollars, only the National Iron and Steel Company, the others, are three or five hundred, Dickson was in a hurry to complete the task, at that time to not think much about it, and finally summed up the money, plus the previous 500 yuan deposit, a total of 3000 US dollars, in short, made money.

Listening to Dickson's statement, Smith was a little silent, obviously, it was impossible for Dickson to lie to him, in order to deceive him, he took out 2500 US dollars, you know, even if Dickson is his assistant, his monthly salary is not more than 100 US dollars, 2500 US dollars, which is equivalent to his two years' salary, casually taken out, just not to complete this task, this is impossible, and it is not logical, so, what he said is likely to be right, even if it is replaced by him, it is impossible to take out a year's salary for a small task, No matter how much.

"Can't really do it?" Smith's thoughts changed slightly, and he asked, "Are you sure you are all gone?" ”

"Here's a list of the special steel mills I went to!" Dickson took out a record, which detailed the steel mills he went to, on Dickson's list, there are 12 steel mills, including the National Steel Corporation, which is almost the most important steel company in the Chicago area, Chicago, the level of steel technology, the highest in the whole United States, other places, there may be higher steel mills than this, but it is not very able to complete this.

After Dickson took out these, Smith fell into silence, and for a long time, he seemed to think of something, and said a little calmly: "Go to Williams's room!" ”

Smith and Williams know each other, they are both in Chicago, and they are both professors in the university, and the host is a real room, to say, it should be a peer in a sense, even if it is a different system, the peer is also a rival, Smith and Williams have a bad relationship, he vulcanizes rubber real yàn, Williams's large steel group real yàn, as usual, the difference is farther, but it is precisely the real yàn that is not favored by people and does not get much money, in order to maintain the real yàn room of the real yàn, They all turned out to ask for help.

When they were raising funds, they bumped into each other many times, Williams's reputation and status gave him an advantage in many aspects, and even every time because of his savings, he himself was negotiated, but he was not able to complete, many times, after he finally negotiated a support plan with the gold owner, Williams appeared, in the name of Williams, if he was willing to bend down, he was more attractive than Smith.

Several times, it's because of this, the ducks in hand have flew, if it weren't for the fact that he met Demei, he maybe, there would be no funds to continue, and in the end, there was only one way to go by closing the real yàn room.

Dickson knew a lot about Smith's situation, and he didn't expect that Smith would actually mention Williams's room, for Smith, it was not the final state, he wouldn't go to Williams, he didn't dare to say anything, he honestly followed Smith and went to Williams's room. RS
