After inspecting the self-designed and self-built iron and steel plant, Li Yongji went to the 110 base in Guangde County again to inspect the local scientific research personnel.

Today, the 110 base has the scale of a modern university, with a total of about 6,000 people in the core of the entire base, with an average age of about 25 years old, of which two-quarters are pure researchers and technicians, one-quarter are related service personnel, and the last quarter are security personnel.

On the periphery of the 110 core base, there is a garrison of the main regiment stationed in each of the four directions of the east, west, south and north, all of which add up to four regiments, which is equivalent to the size of a reinforced division, and the weapons used are the same as those of the Praetorian Guard, even the most basic privates, all of them are equipped with automatic weapons such as AK47 and 56 automatic rifles, and in addition, the number of advanced equipment such as night vision devices is also the largest in the whole army.

Between the four regimental headquarters, all connected by barbed wire and trenches, there are mobile posts between each other, and there are a large number of fixed secret posts, and a large number of forbidden areas are arranged on the periphery of the barbed wire, which are arranged with a lot of mines, and a large number of warning signs are inserted.

In short, the entire area around the 110 base has long been turned into a military restricted area, and neither the people of their own country nor the people of other countries are allowed to approach the restricted area.

However, in order to facilitate the supply of materials to the restricted area and to prevent the people of Base 110 from being completely disconnected from the outside world, a logistics transfer station under complete military management has been set up 30 kilometers away from Base 110, which is actually similar to a buffer zone for contact with the outside world.

That is to say, the materials to be transported into the 110 base must be checked and sorted at the transit station now, and then transported into the 110 base through the guò army, and after entering the base, it must be checked again to confirm that there is no problem. Finally, it can be delivered to the destination by the service personnel of the 110 base.

And sensitive things such as letters will be checked in detail first to confirm that there is no problem, and they will be directly delivered to the parties, in other words, the people in the base have no privacy at all, and everyone is under close surveillance.

Since the transit station is also a forbidden area, this transfer station also falls within the scope of Area 110 in terms of a certain chengdù. It's just that it's not the core place, and today, even the transit station has reached the scale of 3,000 people, which can be regarded as a small community.

Nowadays, the almost deliberately isolated 110 base has achieved complete self-sufficiency, and the people in the core area have long since passed the freshness of the initial contact with various modern equipment, and have begun to absorb the almost inexhaustible scientific knowledge under the leadership of their respective mentors. And as quickly as possible, it transformed into a group of nineteenth-century versions of tech nerds.

For example, when Li Yongji came to inspect, although he also arranged a greeting event, he did not do anything like kneeling and kowtowing and shouting long live. Instead, he simply bowed, and then he couldn't wait to come around and introduce the project he was developing, so as to get more scientific research equipment and consumables for his project.

In this independent, similar to a university town. Among the 110 bases, which focus on scientific research, they are divided into faculties, just like universities. At present, there are four major schools, namely the Department of Medicine, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics, and the Department of Chemistry. In different faculties, there are one or two big bulls.

For example, the chief professor of the Department of Medicine is Huang Kuan, the academician of the Department of Mathematics is Li Shanlan, the academician of the Department of Physics Hua Hengfang, and the academician of the Department of Chemistry Xu Shou.

Academician is the highest title here, under the academician, it is divided into professor, associate professor, teaching assistant, associate teaching assistant, researcher and other levels, under the researcher, there are some pure college students.

So far, due to the different nature, although it has become the scale of a university, it is more like a scientific research institution than an ordinary university because of the sensitive information. People here, even the lowest-level college students, must at least be proficient in junior high school level mathematics knowledge, pass the modern junior high school level mathematics exam, and after coming in, they must continue to make up for a period of basic knowledge learning, and then according to their own strengths, enter the four major departments, under the leadership of their respective tutors, while learning and researching, to realize the scientific research projects in the book one after another.

In many fields, there are cooperation and intersections with each other, but more often, in order to accelerate the validation of their own projects, except for the Department of Mathematics, the other three departments have to compete for research funds.

For example, in the medical department, they have to study new drugs, internal medicine, and general surgical procedures, and so on, and they need more than half a resource.

The same is true for the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry, they all need to do experiments, and most of the equipment and consumables for the tests are not cheap, many of these things are not available in this era, so they can only apply to Li Yongji.

Although the mathematics department is a little less demanding, the number of people in the mathematics department has recently started to study computers, so the equipment required is gradually increasing.

Usually, when these people in the base want something, but there is no one in the base, they will record the things they want, and then send them to Li Yongji on a regular basis, and Li Yongji will send the list to Zhang Xinda, and let Zhang Xinda be responsible for Zhang Luo's purchase, and when the purchase is finished, he will take the time to send it to Li Yongji, and Li Yongji will package these things and send them to the base, and the base will distribute them separately according to the list.

In the past, when Li Yongji mainly put his mind on the base, this kind of feedback was quite timely, but when Li Yongji put his mind on other aspects, this kind of feedback was quite slow, and many times he applied for a month or two in advance to finally get what he wanted.

At first, these people didn't dare to be dissatisfied, but when they completely fell into the ocean of knowledge, their temperament slowly changed, and they began to be dissatisfied with the slow feedback of this material, and some people even began to write urging letters to Li Yongji.

It's a pity that Li Yongji can't completely follow the temperament of these people, and he also feels that he has reached this point and can't completely use modern materials and consumables, so he deliberately reduced some modern consumables and let these people find their own ways to overcome them.

Not to mention, this is really useful, many people have indeed begun to design and research the manufacture of related scientific research equipment, but there are some more applied science departments, and a lot of achievements have been produced, and a lot of local scientific research equipment and consumables have been produced.

Now. Small things like basic glass measuring cups, basic chemical reagents, compass calipers and even pencils can be made by themselves, and a series of factories were born that were dedicated to the production of these things, and began to be selectively oriented to society.

For example, pencils generated with self-designed and self-produced equipment have been expanded and a pencil factory has been built, and the various types of pencils produced are not only supplied to the base, but even directly sold to the public.

The pencil factory has been very profitable since it was put into operation. It is basically in short supply, and is currently considering expansion, and once the production capacity goes up, it will even consider exporting.

In order to produce two cups and the like, the production of high-temperature glasses, now there have been finished products, the relevant manufacturing plants are also in full swing preparations, all the equipment is independently designed and manufactured, once the construction is successful, not only can the 110 base in the high-temperature glass completely self-sufficient. The product can also be put on the market and strive for higher efficiency.

There is also alcohol, which is widely used, but it is difficult to meet the purity and concentration standards of traditional zuò alcohol. Therefore, they simply built the equipment for producing alcohol according to the data, and finally really studied the method of using ethylene hydrogenation, that is, coal chemical industry, to make high-purity alcohol.

Right now. A small industrial alcohol plant has been put into operation near the 110th base, using direct synthesis of coal gas to produce high-purity industrial alcohol, and the output has reached the scale of 10 tons of alcohol per day. It effectively solves the problem of alcohol consumption in real rooms and industrial use.

Not only that, these people also made persistent efforts, on the basis of industrial alcohol, and invented separation technology, effectively removed the methanol in industrial alcohol, and purified more pure ethanol, so that medical alcohol finally reached the stage of self-production.

In addition, commonly used potions such as iodine wine and red potion have also been industrially synthesized, and after testing, they can be directly put into use, and at present, the preparation of these two potions has been approved, and the new pharmaceutical factory is already in preparation, and will soon be fully put into production.

Of course, products such as pencils, alcohol, potions and high-temperature glass, which are born from non-mainstream scientific research methods, are only the tip of the iceberg, and as time goes by, with the increasing knowledge of people in the base, they produce more and more related products, some of which have short-term results, and some of which are not short-term effective.

In order to evaluate their scientific research projects and thus allocate funds, a scientific research evaluation committee has been set up here to evaluate the value of different scientific research projects and provide scientific research funds according to the value.

Therefore, although the people in the base do not have to worry about food, drink and housing, because they have higher scientific research pursuits, all of them are very eager for scientific research funds, and always try their best to ask for higher scientific research funds to realize their own scientific research projects.

But in any case, this method of researching related equipment consumables for their own mainstream research is not what everyone is willing to do, and many people still like to use modern equipment and consumables directly, so the request list is still submitted on time, but many have not replied to the letter.

Now that Li Yongji has come over in person, this is the highest decision-maker who can directly decide, so many people have the courage to come over and ask for it directly.

Li Yongji replied to these people's requests one by one, and Li Yongji did not agree to some advanced research, such as G protein, which he knew at a glance that he did not know from where he looked high, but asked them to be down-to-earth, conduct basic research first, and not be too ambitious.

In other words, Li Yongji only promised to continue to provide a batch of basic equipment and consumables, such as modern microscopes, vernier calipers, measuring cups, and some chemical consumables that cannot be produced here.

After dealing with the stunned green who asked for supplies, Li Yongji was able to visit the base smoothly, in addition to visiting those non-mainstream projects such as the preparation of red potions, he also focused on visiting the mainstream projects that are being studied here.

What is a mainstream project? At present, the mainstream scientific research projects are nothing more than three major blocks, coal chemical industry, salt chemical industry and machinery manufacturing!

Coal chemical industry is a big project, not only including coal tar chemical industry, ammonia synthesis itself is also a complex project, if you want to study it thoroughly, it is not possible to achieve it in a day or two.

However, because there is more detailed technical information. What Xu Shou and others need to do is just repeat the test according to the instructions of the technical data, so it is relatively simple.

"At present, we have completed the production of synthetic ammonia." Xu Shou pointed to the real room in the large glass window and said, "Right here, we have realized the preparation of synthetic ammonia, and the relevant industrial preparation is in the midst of intense experiments, I believe that in about three months, we can use our own equipment to design and make zuò, and we can carry out the production of industrial synthetic ammonia." Although certainly not as good as what you got from the Human Innovation Alliance. But after all, it is the beginning, and over time, with the improvement of our technological level, it is not difficult to catch up. ”

"Well, yes, yes." Li Yongji looked at the scientific researchers in white coats and masks who were busy in the glass window, and nodded, "But why don't they wear rubber gloves?" A lot of reagents are toxic, right? ”

"Rubber gloves are too expensive." Xu Shoudao. "We can't produce rubber gloves now, and synthetic rubber can only prepare a little methyl rubber or styrene-butadiene rubber in the real yàn room, and we still can't make zuò gloves, but our current rubber gloves inventory is not much. Therefore, it can be saved. ”

"I see." Li Yongji nodded, "It's not easy, don't worry, I'll apply for another batch of rubber gloves for you when I go back." You have to make sure you use it. ”

"Thank you so much." Xu Shou smiled and nodded, "But compared to rubber gloves, we would prefer to get some real consumables and precision real instruments." Although many of the real instruments we can already produce ourselves. However, the difference in accuracy is too far, and the error is too large to carry out more precise tests, so we still need to continue to help in this regard. ”

"Understood, I will." Li Yongji nodded.

Indeed, in terms of precision testing, the difference in equipment affects the test results, so some precision instruments are needed, from pipettes to calipers, and the better and more accurate the process, the more different the results will be.

Don't underestimate these differences, especially in the field of chemistry, subtle differences, the results or yields are different, especially when it comes to the stage of making chemical drugs, it is even more important to work on the details.

"By the way, when it comes to synthetic rubber, we have made a breakthrough." Xu Shou continued, "Although we can only produce a small amount of synthetic rubber in the real room, it is worth congratulating that all the raw materials for the preparation of synthetic rubber are produced by ourselves little by little, and there is no longer any need for your majesty to buy them from the outside. ”

"Oh? Are you saying that you make all the materials for synthetic rubber yourself? Li Yongji asked.

"That's right!" Xu Shou smiled proudly, "Earlier, we were just studying coal chemical industry, studying coal tar product separation technology, at the beginning, we were mainly studying how to produce drugs and fuels, but then I saw a book that said that rubber can be prepared, so I started to produce."

Specifically, we first separated ethylbenzene, then produced styrene and butadiene, and then synthesized it in the real yàn chamber, and finally succeeded in producing synthetic rubber.

Although the production of synthetic rubber is very small, after this technical public relations, we have gained a lot of technology accumulation and obtained many related products, which has further improved our chemical process. In time, our chemical industry will inevitably enter a new level, and at that time, the industrial production of synthetic rubber will no longer be difficult. ”

"Oh, that's amazing." Li Yongji could only nod his head, but he didn't know what to say.

Also, in such a short period of time, I relied on the information in the book to make synthetic rubber step by step from beginning to end, which is really powerful.

"At present, we are digging deep into the coal chemical industry." Xu Shou continued, "Some easy-to-realize projects have already begun to be put into production. For example, in the fertilizer factory, we have tried to use our own methods to produce ammonia compound fertilizer, and strive to get rid of the dependence on purchased equipment as soon as possible.

In terms of explosives, in addition to perfecting the preparation of nitrification and making a better and more stable smokeless drug, we have also produced and prepared it, but because it is unstable and difficult to prepare, nitroglycerin is mainly used as a drug.

Because of the complex process and relatively small output, it is not our mainstream product, but because of its great power, it is regarded as a special drug, so we are currently mainly focusing on the production of these three explosives. And mix according to different recipes.

Now that the new pharmaceutical factory has been put into production, it is estimated that it will be able to produce qualified products in another half a month, and at that time, our gunpowder production will be able to step into a new level, which will not only make our army stronger, but also be widely used in the civilian field.

For example, if we combine it, we have completely studied it, and in the future, we don't have to use it anymore. It's going to be more powerful and it's going to cost less. ”

"Good." Li Yongji said, "That's it, but I didn't expect you to produce it so quickly, which was beyond my expectations." ”

"It's not that hard." Xu Shou said with a smile, "The difficulty of explosives is that you don't know how to do it, if you know how to do it, it's quite easy to replicate the test again." In fact. In the past, we also copied a lot of explosives production, like etc., we have produced them. However, on the whole, the comprehensive performance is better in all aspects, especially the safety is better, so it is mainly produced.

Now. In terms of production, we mainly focus on production, and the gun propellant is mainly to produce nitrocellulose mono-base drugs, and the detonation is mainly to detonate. In this way, we have been at the forefront of the world in terms of gunpowder, at least at the world's advanced level. ”

"How's the production of chemical drugs going?" Li Yongji asked, "Coal chemical industry can also produce a lot of other things, isn't it just a study of how to make zuò explosives?" ”

"We've made breakthroughs in other areas." Xu Shou said, "For example, in terms of medicines, we have been able to produce sulfonamide drugs, iodine wine and red potion, and the preparation of the real yàn room has been completed, and we have begun to prepare to build a factory, I believe that it will not be long before we can produce these effective drugs ourselves."

In addition, we have also made a breakthrough in synthetic fuels, in addition to aniline ultraviolet, we have also synthesized synthetic alizarin, synthetic indigo, and synthetic dyes such as danselin, these colors have strong adhesion and will not fade, and the relevant factories have begun to prepare, once put into production, I believe it will also be a considerable help to our printing and dyeing industry. ”

"Not bad, very good." Li Yongji kept nodding, "It is indeed worth boasting that so many things have been researched in such a short period of time." ”

"It's nothing." Xu Shou sighed, "Seriously, we are just going through the path that our predecessors have walked again, and the more we study, the more we admire those people in the Human Innovation Alliance." I really can't figure it out, they obviously have such good technology, but they don't come out to help the world, it's really ...... Ay. ”

"Hehe, I've said it, people at different stages have different ideas." Li Yongji said with a smile, "If you are asked to give up your current life, give up these superior environments and advanced technology and equipment, and go back to the past to live the same life, are you willing?" ”

"This ...... I understand. Xu Shou nodded.

Indeed, the so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, these people have lived here for so long, enjoy the convenience and comfort of modernization, and eat and drink without worry, and there are people to serve in daily life, only need to read a book, engage in research, have nothing to do with a video call to brag, or meet together to discuss scientific research projects, is there anything more comfortable than this day?

Xu Shou and these people feel that it is difficult for them to adapt to the previous life, and it is really more uncomfortable to return to the past than to kill them, so it is not difficult to understand that those people who push themselves and others, the so-called Human Innovation Alliance, must have a better and more high-end life, and they are not willing to come out.

"Hmph, it's just a bunch of selfish villains after all." At this time, a stranger next to him who had not spoken suddenly stepped forward and said, "That's right, those people in the Human Innovation Alliance are very level, but they can't just enjoy themselves and don't care about the lives of others, right?" ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man looked at the people around him and said sternly: "Where do we come from when we wait to read poetry and books?" It is nothing more than that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. In the past, when you were poor, you couldn't manage it yourself, and you didn't have time to manage others, but if you have the ability, you don't care about the people in the world, and you just want to enjoy it behind closed doors, this is the heart of a villain.

Compared with those who are in the Human Innovation Alliance, what the Holy One has done is more worthy of our emulation, we must not be blinded by the luxury here, we must know that every qiē we have here is a collection of resources from all over the country, if we are not conscientious, worthy of the people, worthy of the Holy One? ”

As soon as this person said it, everyone nodded yes without listening, but Li Yongji heard it, this guy was ostensibly admonishing everyone with righteous words, but he was actually slapping himself on the back, well, it's a bit interesting.

Sure enough, when I asked the name, this guy's name was Ding Richang, and he had only been here for half a year, but because of his relatively high level of knowledge, he was already able to work on projects independently. However, compared with Li Shanlan, Xu Shou and others, he is more engaged in production, and many new factories have been put into production through his hands, so he is a figure with stronger management ability than scientific research ability.

At the moment, it seems that this should be a technocrat and not a pure scientific researcher, but there is a real need for someone like him here.

Later, Li Yongji inspected the situation of other research groups and found that their scientific research progress was quite rapid and the results were remarkable, which made him quite satisfied with these results.

In the end, Li Yongji also went to the hospital to visit Hu Linyi, personally examined Hu Linyi's body, and also had an exchange with Hu Linyi, encouraging him to take good care of his body, to leave a useful body, and to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Not to mention, these lofty words, modern people may have a toothache when they hear them, but these old guys recognize them very well. For example, Hu Linyi, who can be regarded as an old fritter in the sea of eunuchs, was still in tears by Li Yongji's words, and forcibly knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he would always be loyal to the emperor and the empire in the future.

can make an old guy so excited, in addition to the tall words, the main thing is Li Yongji's emperor halo, if it is someone else, it is absolutely impossible to do this, how to say it, this is the coercion of identity.

In any case, Li Yongji was quite satisfied with the inspection of Area 110, especially after discovering that it had been able to start self-research and development and rely on self-developed technology to produce results.

This shows that even if they are no longer deliberately supported in the future, just relying on the technical data here and these technicians, as long as they carry out research step by step, they can get faster and faster in scientific research.

It's like a train, it's always slow at first, but if it does run, it will only get faster and faster, and here you can get so much in the beginning, once you run in full swing, it's only going to be even more terrifying.

In particular, many people here have learned a lot of modern scientific knowledge and have a high level of scientific literacy, and it will not be a problem to become a science and technology master in the future.

This place has truly become a technology incubator, a steady stream of new technologies for the Chinese Empire, accelerating the Empire's scientific and technological progress.

It is foreseeable that in the long run, the Chinese Empire will be able to lead the rest of the world in an all-round way, at least in terms of technological progress, and in time, it will be able to become invincible in the world by relying on the leading power of science and technology alone.
