Previously, Cheng Nuo and his team had been working hard to prevent the hydrogen leakage in the reaction vessel, for fear that the leaked hydrogen would explode after being exposed to oxygen.

But one evening, when Cheng Nuo was dozing off, an inadvertent sneeze woke him up and woke him up instantly.

"At the moment, we don't have a lot of money for experiments, and we don't have enough time for us to squander, so we always think that we can't solve the blockage, so it's better to try to loosen it." The more Cheng Nuo's eyes brightened, and finally he trotted outside directly, and wiped his face fiercely with cold water.

The sudden scene frightened Fan Xudong next to him, and before Cheng Nuo could return to the experimental table, he stopped him directly: "Zhiyuan, you don't have to be in such a hurry, we still have a chance to withstand the toss now, but don't have an accident, no one in our team can miss you." ”

Monk Cheng Nuozhang was puzzled, and said in confusion: "Xudong, what's wrong with you, don't think crookedly, I'm thinking of inspiration, and I'm about to try my luck, maybe our current breakthrough direction depends on it, the so-called half-ninety who travels a hundred miles, we can't fall before dawn." ”

Fan Xudong couldn't help but be displeased after hearing this, but was still a little anxious: "What, Zhiyuan, I heard that there are some young people's gods/goddesses in our local area, don't you often have a sentence on your lips, saying that the strength of science is metaphysics, why don't we take some time to go over and have a look?" ”

"Hey, it's not, it's harm!" Cheng Nuo was so angry that he smoked, and his words couldn't be said completely: "Fan Xudong, what do you mean by this, I'm fine, look at what god/mother, don't go, I won't go anywhere except the laboratory." ”

Where was Fan Xudong willing to give up, thinking that Cheng Nuo's "illness" was more serious than he thought at the beginning, and said distressedly: "In this way, I will go to see God/Po, Zhiyuan, will you accompany me to see it?" Just to enjoy the scenery of our Sichuan Mansion. ”

Inspiration comes and goes.

Where does Cheng Nuo want to continue to consume here, with this brute force, he directly pulled it aside: "Roll on, delay it any longer, leak hydrogen next time, pick up and plug it!" ”

Fan Xudong is not afraid at all. I still want to continue struggling: "Zhiyuan, I heard that some gods/mothers are called 'mothers', but they are not very old, you have to look at the right eye......"

"Shut up, check the equipment, and the experiment will begin immediately."

"Okay, let's go another day."

“……”

Unexpectedly, after Cheng Nuo changed his thinking, the results of the subsequent experiments were surprisingly good.

Originally, it was due to the fact that more and more small amounts of hydrogen gas penetrated the outer side of the inner lining, and if these gases were not discharged in time, they would accumulate more and more, and then erode the carbon steel cylinder on the outer side of the inner lining.

In fact, after hydrogen leaks out, as long as the concentration in the air does not reach the level of explosion, people can ignore it.

This means that some small holes are drilled in the carbon steel cylinder to directly discharge a small amount of hydrogen that penetrates into the outer side of the inner lining, which will not cause much danger.

After Cheng Nuo put the above ideas into practice, he found that the explosion-proof effect was very obvious. Although these methods are not technically high, their cost is very low, and the key is to be able to effectively solve the explosion problem of the synthesis reaction vessel.

Although the improved design of the synthesis reaction vessel will still have some failures from time to time, it will easily not explode again.

Finally, at the end of the first quarter of 18 years, the first self-designed and successfully developed pilot plant in China finally achieved stable operation, with a daily output of several tons of ammonia.

It means that the technical feasibility of building a large-scale ammonia plant has been basically met.

At present, Sichuan has been basically controlled by Tang Jiyao, and in the name of "commander-in-chief of the coalition forces", Xiong Kewu was directly appointed as the overseer and senior official of Sichuan by telegram, and the situation was temporarily stabilized.

And Liu Xiang, who Cheng Nuo bet on, has been promoted to the position of division commander, and everything is in Cheng Nuo's expectations, developing in a good direction.

Since then, Cheng Nuo has been busy building a factory.

Although the synthetic ammonia pilot plant developed earlier has been able to operate normally, its daily output is only a little more than 2 tons, which cannot meet the needs of domestic agriculture at all.

Therefore, Cheng Nuo plans to expand the scale, and plans to build a large-scale ammonia plant with an annual nitrogen consumption of 1,000 tons.

However, to build such a large-scale high-pressure chemical plant that has never been seen in the history of China, there are unimaginable technical and management problems waiting for Cheng Nuo to solve.

Fortunately, with the support of Cheng Nuo's research team and Tesla and others, and the chemical plant has been started since the beginning of the year, there has never been an interruption in investment.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

"Cheng, do you really want to put all the scientific research funds into it, as a person who has come over, I suggest you don't do this." I have been in Sichuan for a while, and in addition to some slang, Tesla, who is quite talented in language, has now mastered the Chinese language, and even mastered the skill of rubbing mahjong.

Lying on the rocking chair, Cheng Nuo shook the fan and said with a smile: "No, who can let our country independently design industrial equipment, although it can be designed, but it can't be built, even if it is made by luck, the yield rate is too low, and it has no use value at all." ”

Tesla shrugged: "Heat exchangers, high-speed solenoid valves, although you have designed them, but you can't make them, it's a pity, but I believe that with the potential of your young people, the future country's industrial technology level will definitely impress the world." ”

Cheng Nuo straightened his back from the rocking chair, put away the fan and said confidently: "There will be bread, there will be milk, at the moment we not only have catalyst and nitrogen, hydrogen production workshops, large repair plants, but also power plants and water supply and drainage facilities, although the overall scale is smaller, but now the daily output of nitrogen fertilizer has exceeded 10 tons."

The overall profit is already considerable, and it will not be long before the scientific research funds we have invested in will be recovered in geometric multiples, and we will have more funds to invest in new funded research. ”

Tesla was very interested in the second half of Cheng Nuo's sentence: "New research, such as radio technology? ”

Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded: "Of course, in addition to radio, we can also try some research that does not see economic results in the short term, but is conducive to the overall development of domestic scientific research in the long run." ”

】

Tesla turned his head and asked curiously, "Could it be basic scientific research?" ”

Cheng Nuo smiled without saying a word, lay down on the rocking chair again, shook the fan, and let the moonlight shine on his face under the grapevines, looking extremely comfortable.

I don't know when it began, a firefly flew in the yard, and as the night became thicker, the fireflies gathered more and more, and finally the yard was full of fireflies, faintly competing with the moonlight.

As a result, it took nearly a year before and after, Cheng Nuo led nearly 100 chemical technicians and apprentices to finally complete the experimental and mass production of synthetic ammonia, and began to promote the chemical fertilizer ammonium sulfate to the surrounding areas with Chongqing as the anchor point.

Looking at the warehouse full of fertilizers, thinking that there will be more crops waiting to increase production in the future, Cheng Nuo's heart felt unprecedented satisfaction.

Jiang Jiangzuo couldn't help but sigh at this: "Tell me about the sale of so many chemical fertilizers, if they can be used in crops, how much grain can be exchanged for back?" ”

Cheng Nuo joked: "One room for two rooms, it's not too much, right?" ”

Jiang Jiang's left eyebrows rose: "What are you kidding, I still want to exchange a bag of chemical fertilizer for three bags of grain, our fertilizer is easily soluble in water, fast and powerful, light and easy to use, no stench and infectious disease fungus and weed seeds, etc., there are many advantages." ”

Cheng Nuo nodded: "I will continue to produce phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer in the future, and when we use it in the future, we need to focus on the characteristics of the soil and scientifically proportion, so that there are no disadvantages, and at present, ammonium sulfate is too polluting to the environment, and it is not a long-term solution." ”

Jiang Jiangzuo said: "It doesn't matter, the scientific process is always step by step, at least in the current view, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, after a while I will contact the Great China Agricultural Improvement Association and the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, and play the name of our Chinese brand fertilizer." ”

"Do you still use the Chinese brand? Let me think. Cheng Nuo frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Before, our main customers of soda ash were people from the city, and their cultural quality was relatively high, and the effect of using the Chinese brand was good, but at present, the chemical fertilizer is mainly facing illiterate farmers, and it is not good to use the name of Wen Crepe." ”

Jiang Jiangzuo also fell into thought: "When you say this, it also reminds me that having a catchy name is very important for the promotion of our chemical fertilizer." ”

"Fertilizer flour, dung essence, cake essence, ash essence, bone essence...... No, no, these names are earthy enough, but they are not catchy, at least they should be accompanied by a string of smooth mouths. Cheng Nuo muttered to himself, suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "I thought of it, it's called 'Golden Land'." ”

"What? Golden Land? Jiang Jiangzuo was a little incredulous: "I think that fertile field powder and dung essence are quite good, let's think about calling it Golden Land?" ”

Cheng Nuoqiang couldn't hold back his laughter and said seriously: "You think, there was a folk joke before, saying that a peasant couple fantasized about being the emperor and carrying a golden hoe every day.

But we might as well think differently, that is, even if farmers are illiterate, they also know the value of gold, and calling the golden land can not only highlight the preciousness of our chemical fertilizers, but also tell them the importance of our chemical fertilizers. ”

Jiang Jiangzuo nodded: "

It is wonderful and wonderful to use the noun of chemistry in our country, so we change the method of selling it, and call it the golden land in the name of it, so as to cater to the psychology of our peasants. ”

Although the name of ammonium sulfate has been set, the brand is still called Zhonghua brand, in order to prevent malicious imitation on the market.

In this regard, Cheng Nuo does not dare to trust too much in the business conscience of this era, and he is not good at brand control, maybe just a few weeks after the Golden Land was listed, there are brands such as Niutou, Lu, and Lion Horse on the market, such as "Silver Kella", "Copper Kella", "Iron Kella", etc.

Affecting the brand image of the Chinese brand is still a small matter, but it is a big deal to harm the people.

In this context, Cheng Nuo dispatched technicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to set up a small-scale experimental and agricultural guidance organization to help farmers apply chemical fertilizers scientifically.

Because part of the profits of the chemical factory belong to Liu Xiang, Cheng Nuo also contacted Liu Xiang here to help several parties improve the relevant laws and regulations to prohibit and punish counterfeit and inferior fertilizers, and severely crack down on them.

With a two-pronged approach, domestic gold land began to gradually move towards Chongqing and began to spread to most of Sichuan.

During this period, some business people expressed dissatisfaction, believing that "not only is the chemical composition not written on the bag, but it is impossible to know it, as if it is a mysterious business".

In this regard, Cheng Nuo directly waved his hand and transcribed the brief chemical steps on the back.

This is good, the people who were clamoring to imitate at the beginning were completely dumbfounded, it looked simple, but as long as it was a person with a little chemical knowledge, he knew that the synthesis of ammonia was not as simple as a few chemical equations.

It's true that ammonia can be produced logically in the laboratory, but it is another matter to produce ammonia on a large scale.

This thing is not simple, it is as simple as scaling up.

Of course, before Cheng Nuo left Beijing, the "pen" arranged also began to gradually exert its authority.

Mr. Chen: "It is a great good thing for the country and the people that farmers in the country can use this high-quality fertilizer to increase their production, seek economic prosperity and solve people's livelihood problems as soon as possible." ”

Brother Xun: "We should actively build the chemical industry in order to have sufficient supply, supplemented by teaching the peasants how to use it, so that the country and the people should not be deprived of the benefits of the greatest contribution of modern science to mankind for one-sided reasons." ”

Jinmen Chamber of Commerce: "If you are interested in preventing the harm of inferior artificial fertilizers, you should guide businesses to pay attention to the examination of artificial fertilizers to avoid foolishness, and on the other hand, we should advise farmers to use more natural fertilizers and use artificial fertilizers carefully to benefit soil crops. ”

……

Of course, some people are in favor of it, and naturally some people are against.

Some conservatives believe that "to advocate artificial fertilizer is to sell their goods for foreigners." ”

After learning about the situation, Cheng Nuo also understood better, because before the birth of the "Golden Land", domestic chemical fertilizers were basically imported.

In the understanding of these people, chemical fertilizers can almost be equated with foreign goods, and publicizing it is an intolerable thing to publicize foreign goods.

In this regard, Cheng Nuo simply published newspapers and periodicals in several more imaginative newspapers and periodicals in China to publicize the "Golden Land" to prove that he is a red national heart.

As a result, although these people have doubts about the effect of the "golden land", they have also begun to promote it for the sake of the face of domestic products.

If you ask why you changed your words, it is that "the interests are prominent, so there is the value of advocating." ”
