Chapter 283: Manufacturing

Xia Lin didn't know that someone had been eyeing him again, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care about these gazes, and now relying on the empress and the industrial park, his power is no longer as weak as before, and he has even been able to squeeze into the hunting circle of a group of giant crocodiles in Hurgana and compete for a piece of his own territory.

After the notice was issued, relying on the huge population of the new area, Xia Lin gathered the raw materials needed for small-scale production the next day, and set up a simple collection and filtration device in the open grass shed downwind of the industrial park, and the employees who operated it wore masks and could still smell the terrible foul smell leaking from the device.

Not far from the hut, a large concrete pool has been set aside in the newly built glass factory. This masonry and concrete pool is rectangular in size, with a 4*2*1.2 scale, with a kang channel for heating at the bottom, and a long canal with a purification rune plate connected to the edge of the upper side.

Xia Lin had the tiles produced by the porcelain research and development team pasted in this pool, and built a rudimentary starch hydrolysis tank, and began the preparation of another important raw material for the silver mirror reaction.

First, the fresh potatoes are crushed into pieces by a human-driven press, and the pieces and juice are manually swept into a stone mill for grinding, and the gray-white powder milk after grinding is filtered three times to finally obtain a starch solution.

After standing for a while, the gray-white starch precipitated in the lower layer can be directly added to the starch hydrolysis tank, and at the same time mixed with the hydrochloric acid produced by the caustic soda plant, and then under the heating of the kang channel below the hydrolysis tank, the starch undergoes a hydrolysis reaction, and the final glucose product is gathered at one end of the hydrolysis tank with the help of purification, and begins to purify and separate through a long channel.

After titrating with iodine water prepared with kelp ash to determine that the solution produced at the end of the long canal did not contain starch, Xia Lin obtained a fairly pure glucose raw material.

Then it is to use these complete raw materials to make glass mirrors, this step of laboratory operation is quite simple, in the silver nitrate solution first add a dilute solution of sodium hydroxide, and then gradually add concentrated ammonia, in the solution of brown silver oxide precipitation is about to disappear and then add dilute ammonia until the precipitation is just completely dissolved.

Xia Lin first tried it with the beaker test tube and other utensils he brought, and successfully obtained the silver ammonia solution, but if he wanted to configure it in large quantities and use it for the production of mirrors, he still needed some additional equipment and steps.

After finding the right equipment, Xia Lin began to explain in detail a series of key points of the steps in making mirrors to Gunther Herbert, the current person in charge of the mirror production line, and the twelve team members who were assigned to be responsible for the configuration of the silver ammonia solution:

"This is the most critical place, when configuring the solution needed for the mirror reaction, you can use concentrated ammonia at first, but when the precipitation in the reaction tank is close to disappearing, you must manually add dilute ammonia slowly, and at the same time keep stirring until the precipitation just disappears completely, too much or too little, will affect the effect of the solution.

….

At the same time, this solution is very unstable, if the raw materials allocated by the glass factory are not enough, and the production needs to be stopped, the silver ammonia solution configured in it should be disposed of on the same day, and the liquid marked with dilute sulfuric acid on it should be added to it.

Wait until the color of this test strip is red, and then add this sodium sulfide powder, this powder has some dangers, so you should remember to wear gloves when taking it from the warehouse, and remember to collect the precipitation and put it away after the precipitation is complete.

Do you understand? I still have a lot of time, you don't have to pretend to understand, like this kind of thing has to be kept in mind in every link to produce a qualified product."

Xia Lin looked at the team members around him who seemed to be a little dazed, and asked with a frown.

"Boss Xia Lin, in fact, I don't understand a little bit from the beginning of that precipitation......

Seeing that Xia Lin seemed to attach great importance to this project known as the glass mirror, Gunther scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, he was the youngest part of the group of people who decided to follow Xia Lin in the Tongshou Block, and later because his brain was still quite useful, he was transferred to the soda ash factory as a car

The chief has also been exposed to some chemical knowledge, but that knowledge is not enough to help him understand these chemical terms that seem to be like a book in the sky.

When the others saw that the leaders of their project teams were like this, they also said what they didn't understand.

Xia Lin collected the main points they didn't understand, and found that they were basically some basic chemical problems, and after thinking about it, he said:

"It's a good virtue to ask questions if you don't understand it, if you do it blindly, the project will have big problems sooner or later, Gunther you have done a good job in this regard, I hope you can maintain this attitude if you encounter any problems in the future, and if you have any unanswerable problems, you can also submit them to my office through a report."

I listened to everyone's reactions just now, most of them are some relatively basic questions, but now there is no room for everyone to learn these knowledge, just like that, I asked Xinglan Primary School to take some nature textbooks for you to study on your own, as for the production matters, I will write them all down and hand them over to you one by one, and you can follow the steps."

Xia Lin said and demonstrated according to his own idea of foolish production steps:

"For example, the first step in preparing a silver ammonia solution is to add this water labeled with silver nitrate to the reaction tank, add five pots at a time, then add a jar of water labeled with sodium hydroxide, wait until this brown thing appears, and then use a spoon to add this stinky water from the grass shed, and notice that when this brown thing is about to disappear, we will replace it with another stinky water that we have added ourselves......

Do you understand that?"

Xia Lin completely broke down the production steps into small links, explained the key points of each link in a way that was acceptable to this group of employees, and finally asked.

"Anyway, it's all about adding other weird water to this weird water, right? Boss, I probably get it! But the names of these waters are too strange, what kind of silver and what oxygen, I think it is better to mark them with numbers."

Getting rid of those strange chemical terms, Gunther suddenly realized, and then complained a little.

"Label with numbers? That seems to be the case, so let's use numbers to refer to these solutions in the future!"

Xia Lin thought about it and felt that for a group of illiterate chemical who didn't even know what hydrogen and oxygen were, it really didn't help to label those complex solution terms, so he gladly accepted Gunther's good idea, which by the way could also play a role in secrecy.

Although the chemical terms translated by Xia Lin Shengzao are complex, it is still possible to see what the root of the word represents, but if it is replaced by numbers, there is basically no risk of leakage.
