Chapter 86 Botanical Research Institute
Cotton has been over, cotton plants are also sold along the way, it is this plant trade, let Yang Yue see the direction of the future, originally, after returning to China, he has been more confused, he does not know what he has learned, how to play it, the family does not support his ideas, farmers, in many rich families, the derogatory meaning is more than praise, there is no family, let an heir, go to farming.
Because of this, Yang Yue's plans for fertilizer and cotton also suffered Waterloo without the support of his family, and without the appearance of Yang Yuanzhao, perhaps, he would honestly return to the family and do what he was unwilling to do and did not want to do.
The sale of a large number of cotton plants, let him find that in China, agriculture is still promising, if they were not cooperative, complete cotton planting, just by virtue of cotton plants, they invested, will get several times the income, 1.2 yuan 5000 plant price, can definitely be regarded as a high price, as for the input, only a fraction, 21000 acres of cotton plants, are sold, at least 25,000 yuan.
The reason why no one bought his cotton seeds before was not because these farmers had no money, but because the farmers did not know what kind of effect they would have in the end after spending the money.
These cotton plants are different, its growth can basically be seen, grow into such plants, as long as there are no problems when transplanting, success is inevitable, and the yield will also be doubled a few times.
Yang Yue firmly followed the idea of studying in this direction, Yang Yuanzhao was also very happy, his goal was to lock in industry, to be exact, it was heavy industry and power industry dominated by the steel industry, but agriculture such a primary industry, can not be given up, he knows some knowledge from later generations, in this era, can definitely be called forward-looking, and Yang Yue contact, on the one hand, is to integrate into the local wealthy family in Baotou, on the other hand, how not to find an agricultural partner.
Yang Yue specifically found Yang Yuanzhao and wanted Yang Yuanzhao to help order a batch of agricultural research equipment, which was based on the equipment in the real room when he was studying in the United States, and added some innovations, which are basically the latest in the world.
Yang Yue's request, of course, Yang Yuanzhao satisfied, directly took out some of the equipment purchased from Shanghai, which even added his transformation, so that they are more suitable for agricultural research, as for newer, more accurate equipment, need to be purchased from Europe and the United States, soon, Harpy will come to Baotou from Shanghai, in addition to bringing a batch of machines, he will also make the final confirmation with Yang Yuanzhao before going to Europe.
Harpy's plan to go abroad has been determined as early as when he was in Shanghai, and Yang Yuanzhao made a list of a batch of machines with the help of what he knew at the time.
Therefore, after the foreign business in Shanghai came to an end, Harpy took the initiative to send a telegram to Yang Yuanzhao to come over, and brought a batch of machines by the way.
China is huge, the road is far away, Yang Yuanzhao did not stop Harpy, it's time to come and see, Shanghai is currently China's economic center, with more potential, but Baotou is Yang Yuanzhao's roots, the foundation is unstable, not to mention the rapid development, it is foreseeable that in the future, Harpy will go back and forth to Baotou many times, and now it is normal to come once.
After a period of running-in, Yang Yue's real yàn room, finally completed, a simple few kinds of real yàn machine qì, as well as a dozen clever little guys, together formed the Baotou Botanical Research Institute, for the time being, research plants, only wheat and cotton, in the greenhouse, began to try to plant out-of-season vegetables, with greenhouses, instead of different solar terms, so that plants grow and sprout, this is a bigger topic, which involves more things, even if it is Yang Yuanzhao, I can't say why, Only let Yang Yue slowly realize.
The cotton transplant is completed, the real yàn room is basically completed, Yang Yuanzhao's new home, also quietly completed, since Sun Fusheng they moved in, Yang Mansion is undergoing subtle changes every day, Yang Yuanzhao is a science and engineering man, and an engineer, in the work, is to keep improving, do not tolerate any mistakes, life, especially in the life of this era, he does not understand a lot of things, a little problem of the previous house design, after the gradual run-in, was raised by Sun Fusheng.
Yang Yuanzhao is not particularly concerned about things in life, whether life is true or not, whether there is a home, more, just a habit, to make the home more comfortable, and let others enjoy this comfort, many things, he does not pursue that kind of absolute control and control, he is more thoughtful, or put it on the machine itself.
From Shanghai, Wuhan, Tianjin, got hundreds of thousands of various drawings, more than half of them, is very useful, these things, he is not ready to copy all of them, there is an all-in-one machine to save zài, he can be flexible, for these parts of the transformation, on the basis of the original, create a better product, the most obvious example, is the steam engine.
Now in Yang Yuanzhao's hands, the most used and most commonly used is the 20-horsepower marine steam engine, which is the smallest of all the steam engines.
In the eyes of Yang Yuanzhao's later generations, he still has certain problems, such as sealing, in this era, vulcanized rubber has not yet been invented, the sealing performance of rubber is not good, this steam engine is also used part of the rubber, part of the cork as a seal, more or less, will produce air leakage, affecting the conversion of the entire thermal effect.
Yang Yuanzhao compared and practiced several times, found a suitable sealing material from the sealing materials of the hot water bottle in later generations, and optimized the entire steam engine, the cylinder block of the steam engine, under the premise of the same weight, expanded by 30%, the pressure that it can withstand has doubled, and the temperature effect has also been increased from about 300 degrees to 500 degrees, a simple improvement, all of a steam engine with 20 horsepower, reborn, sealed and enough lubrication, so that the engine has been reduced by 25% The energy loss of the left and right, the expansion of the 30% cylinder block, provides more powerful power, and the improvement of the temperature effect allows the steam engine to remain stable at a higher temperature without cooling it with a water tank, so after such a transformation, the power of the smallest steam engine has increased from 20 horses to 35 horses, and the subsequent models can even reach more than 50 horses.
Simple, just on the small steam engine project, a breakthrough, almost twice the horsepower, put on small warships and torpedo boats, torpedo boats will increase the speed by about 15%, this kind of increase, for the torpedo boats that are very sensitive to speed, it is simply a terrifying leap, high-speed, highly concealed torpedo boats, in the near sea, the threat to warships, almost more than doubled.
The finished product of this small engine was immediately used in the power plant not far away, so that the installed capacity was increased from 3,600 kilowatts to 5,400 kilowatts, and the same coal was burned to obtain stronger electricity, and it was only in another aspect that it supported the modification of the entire house, and the front yard and the promenade were almost covered with electric lights, so that here, even in the dark night when the fingers were not visible, it would be as bright as day, and as for the backyard, it was much softer, and the cloth materials and fuel extracted from the clothes of later generations, I only made a blackout cloth and curtains, and closed the curtains, even if it was broad daylight outside, there was no light in the house.
On the first weekend of June, under the encouragement of Yang Yue and Liu Shu, coupled with the increasingly prosperous Baoxin Flour Mill and the Baoken Company, which had already made profits, and in order to celebrate his housewarming, Yang Yuanzhao set up a table in his house and invited familiar guests to come as guests.
