Chapter 456: The Product of Accidents

When you are unlucky, you may be even more unlucky, and when you are lucky, there are often good things happening.

When the Joint Office of Military Business and the Joint Office of Military Industry urged businessmen to open flint mines from Hunan, thick black smoke rose from the "jungle" of the big chimney of the Tianjin Chemical Plant.

Since Miyun sub-district set up its own technical department, which has played an important role in its own industry, and has been affirmed by Zhu Gaochi, this model has begun to rise in large factories.

As a chemical industry zone, Tianjin Chemical Plant Zone has naturally set up its own technical department.

In Jinzhou, across the sea, doctors organized a long-term exchange meeting, and there was a famous science and technology conference in Beiping.

Tianjin is not far behind, but the chemical plant is a latecomer after all, and the technicians have nothing to do when they get together.

One person came up with the idea of naming all the existing things, and they also made an encyclopedia of elements, just like the medical encyclopedia that Golden State was going to compile.

"I don't expect anything to come out, but it's a good proposal, we don't say that we have more than others, at least we have to have it."

The person in charge of the chemical plant area said supportively.

This is a face-saving project for political achievements, and I just wanted to launch a treasure book to benchmark the medical book of Golden State.

But the progress of science is always full of all kinds of accidents.

For example, the invention of the railroad.

It's just that the coal bosses are making the best use of it.

For example, steam engine trains for transporting passengers.

It's just that in order to make money, merchants built a circle of railways for people to ride, and at first it was just for entertainment.

Before modern times.

Many of these cases, many of the great inventions, were not the result of years of research by scientists as defined by later generations.

It is more of an idea born in the soul of ordinary people, but there is a historic breakthrough in the progress of science and technology, and it also shows that the technical difficulty is not profound.

Just as when people first started riding passenger trains for entertainment, no one could have imagined how significant this invention was.

In ancient Greece before 400 BC, philosophers proposed water, earth, fire, and air.

It is known to Western scholars that ancient Greece already had the concept of elements.

If it can be concluded in this way, then in the Western Zhou Dynasty of China, there was the concept of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth earlier than ancient Greece.

In fact, it is all an act of gilding the ancestors.

But as the saying goes.

The face of young children depends on their fathers, and the face of the elderly depends on their children.

Later, the West developed by leaps and bounds, while China was regressing, and finally was semi-colonized.

The things of the ancestors of the West were developed by the descendants of the West, and the things of the ancestors of China were delayed by the descendants of China and stayed at the level of ancient times forever.

The Chinese descendants learn from the Western knowledge system developed by the Western descendants, and this is the fundamental reason.

Some people say that China has been backward since ancient times, which is tantamount to blaming their own reasons on the ancestors.

Things are not inherently static.

Things are changing.

Development or regression, what is needed is the efforts of each generation, and only continuous progress can have continuous development.

All in all.

It is 10,000 times easier to destroy a civilization than it is to build it.

In the process of restoring civilization in the Ming Dynasty, nearly a hundred years of faults, many knowledge and social atmospheres have been wiped out.

For example, the Song Dynasty's techniques such as pushing the sickle cart did not come back in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, during this period, the background was not as good as that of the West.

After all, Western Europe has not been completely conquered, and there is no fault line in its own culture.

It's different now.

In the process of promoting the development of social productive forces, Zhu Gaochi also vigorously restored Chinese civilization. After six years of cultivation, many technologies have suddenly come to the fore.

Technicians in the chemical plant area, they hold a hard pen and write on paper what they can think of.

On the quiet conference table, only the rustling of pens.

None of these technicians, who live well or have a good time, have ever thought about how great what they are doing.

Some of them are still thinking about finishing their errands early so that they can go home early, but the time is not early, and they are worried that they will be delayed from work.

"Iron."

"Copper."

"Kim."

"Silver."

"Sand."

"Linjiao."

"Mercury."

"Dan."

"Yellow."

"Water sulfur."

……

The technicians also divided into categories, and made a gold line, wood line, water line, fire line, and earth line, and arranged them according to each major category.

Before the advent of the Golden State Medical Manual, it was first published in the Technical Journal.

Technical newspaper office.

Through the postman of Beiping Xinyi Station, he received an article entitled "General Table of the Five Elements of the Five Elements" published in the name of Tianjin Chemical Plant District.

"What is this?"

The young editor couldn't understand it, and felt that it was very high, and suspected that his level was limited, so he hurriedly consulted the editor-in-chief.

office, the editor-in-chief picked it up curiously, and couldn't help but laugh just by looking at it.

"They've got this thing on their faces."

"Why?" The editor is inexplicable.

"Everyone else is announcing various results, and those big factories that don't move are of course sitting still."

"Isn't that a waste of time?" The editor said angrily: "This manuscript is destroyed." ā€

The editor-in-chief shook his head.

"After all, it's a big factory area, give people a face, send it in the next issue, find a small corner."

"Since you want to send it, but you send it in a small corner, will it be done and make others dissatisfied?" The editor still understands the sophistication of people.

"If it's in a small corner, it's not eye-catching, and they're happier."

The editor-in-chief is the editor-in-chief in

The editor has only seen the first layer, while the editor-in-chief has already seen the second layer.

The editor is full of admiration.

In this way, the face project of the chemical plant area, "General Table of the Five Elements of the Elements" was published in the small corner of the technical newspaper.

Each issue of the newspaper is sent to the Shizifu.

Zhu Gaochi got up in the morning, dressed neatly and washed up, and dined with Guo Cailian, who had a big belly.

Breakfast was plentiful.

A plate of eggs, a plate of pickles from Beiping Zhouji, a plate of beef sauce, a plate of green vegetables, a bowl of millet porridge, and a bowl of sweet tofu brain.

The newspaper has been neatly placed on the table, and the technical newspaper has been placed on top.

After Zhu Gaochi sat down, he first picked up the technical newspaper, glanced at it roughly, and was about to look at the social newspaper, when he was about to put it down, he suddenly stopped.

The technical newspaper was picked up again, and Zhu Gaochi looked at the "Five Elements General Table".

Metal he knows.

Gold, silver, copper, and iron are clear at a glance, and mercury also knows that it is mercury.

But what is sand?

Zhu Gaochi looked at the explanation in detail, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like zinc.

There is also Linjiao.

It turned out to be selenium.

The selenium of the Tang Dynasty was called Linjiao.

Dan is lead, and because of alchemy, it is called Dan.

Yellow refers to sulfur.

Water sulphur refers to silicon.

Zhu Gaochi identified the past one by one, some of them were recognized, and some of them were not.

"It's so fascinating to watch."

Guo Cailian saw that Zhu Gaochi had been reading the newspaper and did not move his chopsticks, so she asked curiously.

"It's nothing, although it's a face-saving project in the chemical plant area, it's a big deal by mistake." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Of course, he saw the purpose of the article.

He also knew that the chemical plant area did not really form the concept of later elements, but things themselves developed.

As long as it continues to develop, many things will be naturally used, and eventually reach the point of future generations.

It's like the invention of phosphorus.

The alchemists of ancient China wanted to refine the elixir of immortality, and as a result, they practiced various substances.

The same is true of the West.

Alchemists want to make gold.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a bankrupt businessman in Germany taught himself alchemy that claimed to be able to make gold, and wanted to use it to refine gold to save himself from bankruptcy, but he used various materials to practice and practice, and finally practiced nothing.

The desperate bankrupt merchant had the whimsy that gold was yellow and urine was yellow, so he used urine as a material.

In fact, he had no money to buy other materials, so he could only use urine that didn't cost money.

In the end, the gold was not refined, but something that emitted blue light was refined.

Alchemy is actually quite simple.

It's boiling.

Heat things all the way to the end of the remaining substance.

Merchants relied on this miraculous material to sell it everywhere for money, and the nobles were willing to spend money to buy it as a rare thing.

The same alchemist, when he saw the bankrupt merchant's things, he was jealous of his money, and learned that this person relied on urine, so he also tried alchemy.

Isn't it just "boiling soup", so he quickly refined this substance.

Chemists of later generations.

The substances that these predecessors "boiled" with urine were called phosphorus, and the corresponding chemical formula was given, (4NaPO3 + 2SiO2 + 10C→2Na2SiO3 + 10CO + P4), and this method was named the urine phosphorus extraction method.

But what does that have to do with the original thing?

Just like the technical report in Zhu Gaochi's hand, the current technicians in the chemical plant area have not formed the concept of elements.

However, as long as they continue to develop and inherit the civilization wealth of their ancestors, future generations will naturally wear the crown of science for them.

Including the inventors of the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties.

Carrots, pressurized water wells, bellows, nine chapters of arithmetic, circumcision......

The same will appear in textbooks, and in the textbooks of other countries, become the object of worship of others.

Just like Zhang Heng.

He was an astronomer, mathematician, inventor, geographer, and writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, he was posthumously named West Obo.

Because during the Northern Song Dynasty, the ancestors of this period thought that their ancestors' achievements were very great and admired Zhang Heng's great achievements, so they were posthumously named Western Obo.

Viciously pursued by the chemical plant area, the medical book of the Golden State side also came out in advance.

Inhaled anesthetics.

Vaccinia technology.

Effective medicine for dysentery.

Various suture techniques.

……

Jinzhou's medical treasure book quickly became a hot seller, and even the doctors of Ying Tianfu began to purchase a large number of copies, basically everyone had a copy.

Subsequently.

The military household economic cooperative in Senan Province published the "Livestock Breeding Book".

Mining Identification Guide.

"Distillation Treasure Book".

……

All of a sudden, this kind of encyclopedic industry book has become the hottest trend of technology newspapers.
