Chapter 148 Rubber Vulcanization Method

Wen Chen smiled dumbly, he didn't expect that the young man who looked reluctant before, like being brought to Hekou City, would change his attitude so quickly.

I also have to lament that Westerners are a strange species.

When the two sides are on equal footing, they will genuinely praise your strengths and strengths.

When there is a disparity in the land, they will unabashedly covet your wealth and do everything they can to attack you.

This is the opposite of the mentality of the locals, whether it is Emperor Jingren or King Zhennan, they all want to kill the opponent who is evenly matched in front of them to get rid of future troubles, and for the surrounding vassal states, it is to be benevolent.

Seeing this, Reddick hurriedly got up, "Persimmon Palace Shrimp, I know that if you are not alone, you can follow you, please forgive him for his presumptuousness!" ”

But his heart was full of doubts, why was his son crazy, how could he suddenly make such an unreasonable request?

Wen Chen waved his hand slightly, "It's out of the way." ”

Then his gaze shifted to the blonde boy, "Why do you say that this king is a messenger sent by God to guide you?" ”

Esby's eyes lit up, he really didn't make a mistake, this Royal Highness the Prince actually knew the existence of God!

"God has said, Great hopes make greatest men, great ideals, great people!"

"Wo from the worship of His Highness...... ...... In the masterpiece, you are found to be ...... A slut ......"

Reddick's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly understood, "Temple shrimp, what he said is perseverance!" ”

"Yes, yes, slut doesn't...... Unpulled, a wise man with great baggage! Esby nodded repeatedly, trying to make her lame official speak smoother.

"From you, Wo can learn a lot of things...... Attitude! This is very good for the people of the nest! Nest wants to put your mind ...... Take it back! Infect...... Nonono! It's Spread! ”

Hiss......

It's kind of interesting......

Wen Chen looked at this little fan brother with light in his eyes, and suddenly had a bold idea in his heart, if he instilled the essence of socialism into this kid, would he be able to change the course of history in the future......

Although the background of the era in which I live now is not the same as the history of my previous life, it can be inferred from the objects and spirit of exploration brought by the Xiyi people that their future development trajectory will definitely follow the path of exploitation and plunder.

If I can fundamentally stifle the sprout of evil in their hearts, wouldn't it be for the benefit of the people of the whole world and the task of "those who are blessed with heaven should do the right thing for heaven" as Mr. Mo said ahead of schedule?

Another advantage is that it can get closer to the Redick caravan, and during this period, the fleet that travels around the world must have the support of the royal family behind it, and it is also a good choice to establish diplomatic relations with them in advance......

"Good!"

Wen Chen patted the table lightly and smiled, "Mr. Reddick, since Ling Lang prefers this king's writings, he can't spoil his interest, right?" If you agree, the king will stay with him for half a year, exchange and learn from each other, and then take him back next time you come back, how about it? ”

Reddick's face was happy, this time he brought his son out, he had seen the world, life at sea was boring and boring, and it was far less comfortable than staying in Dasheng, a place with a lot of resources.

And His Royal Highness the Prince has a very good impression on himself, he is kind and modest, and he is a person worthy of trust.

"Multi-shoe persimmon temple shrimp, then please!"

"It's a trifle!" Wen Chen waved his hand slightly.

"Since our relationship is much closer, for the sake of friendly exchanges between the two countries in the future, then the king will share the method of improving rubber with you free of charge!"

When the Xiyi people heard this, they put down their knives and forks one after another, pricked up their ears, and their faces were full of longing.

You know, along the way, they tried countless ways to make it useful, but without exception, all of them failed.

Wouldn't it be a pity to let go of the opportunity to improve such a promising material?

"Thank you Persimmon Palace!"

Wen Chen smiled slightly, "Actually, this method is also very simple, called rubber vulcanization, the specific operation is to heat the rubber, mix a certain proportion of sulfur into it, and the functional groups between the vulcanizing agent and the rubber react to form a cross-linked structure, thereby improving the texture of the rubber." ”

"Brimstone...... What is that? Reddick looked dazed.

Wen Chen patted his head, and finally remembered the word that had been in his mind for a long time, "Sulphur! ”

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the thing!

But is it really as simple and easy as His Royal Highness the Prince said?

Just adding sulfur can change the properties of rubber, and he has never heard the words "functional group" and "cross-linked structure" himself......

"Persimmon temple shrimp, this method ...... Is that your guess? Reddick hesitated.

He was still not sure if Wen Chen had deliberately made up a reason to win them over......

Wen Chen naturally saw the doubts and incomprehension in their hearts, and simply stood up, "Since you can't make up your minds now, why don't you follow this king to the warehouse and do a small experiment?" ”

Everyone whispered and exchanged words, and replied, "The kidneys are good!" Good kidneys! ”

"Daojiu, prepare a stove, a basin of water, a cutting board, a rolling pin, and then send someone to the pharmacy to buy a pack of sulfur powder, and immediately send it to the warehouse in the south of the city!"

The bald head of the guard outside the door bowed in response, "Yes, my lord!" ”

Everyone wondered, why did even the cutting board and rolling pin come out, this is to cook?

Since the location of the warehouse is not far from Wen's mansion, everyone is in groups of three or five, and under the leadership of Wen Chen, they all go on foot.

The people on the road suddenly saw so many blonde, blue-eyed and high-nosed weirdos, and they all stopped and stood on the side of the road to point, but after all, Hekou City is a coastal city, and they have more or less seen the fleets of foreign friends, but they don't treat these foreign devils as monsters.

Outside the huge warehouse, Tu Sanqian and a group of brothers are moving the burlap bag containing rubber blocks into the warehouse.

Tu Sanqian suddenly saw Wen Chen bringing people over, and immediately greeted him.

"Back to the lord, the rubber transported back will be unloaded in three cars, please rest assured!"

The title of the lord was also decided by a group of brothers after discussion, because they felt that calling His Royal Highness the Sea King seemed a little rusty, and calling the shopkeeper felt not very formal, so he called Wen Chen and used the word "lord".

Wen Chen smiled, "I'm not here to supervise the work, I'm going to open a bag of rubber and bring it, this king is useful." ”

"No!"

Tu Sanqian trotted all the way, and after a while, he rushed over with a sack, opened the seal, and the irregular pale yellow rubber blocks were scattered on the ground.

In front of everyone's eyes, Wen Chen personally lit the stove, boiled the water in the iron basin, and threw the rubber block into it.

After a while, the already soft rubber became completely deformed like freshly kneaded dough.

Fished out while it was hot, Wen Chen squatted down while rolling the softened rubber into a cake shape on the cutting board, while taking out the sulfur powder from the medicine bag, adding a small amount many times, and then repeatedly squeezing and mixing with a wooden stick.

After tossing back and forth for half an hour, the seemingly useless glue block before became more and more tenacious and strong in Wen Chen's hands!

When it was finally formed, Wen Chen endured the heat and shaped it into a spherical shape with his hands, which made everyone dumbfounded!
