When Zhao Hao heard this, he touched his chin and thought about the feasibility.

Speaking of which, China's alchemy alchemists are really chemists, and they can be described as remarkable. In addition to the well-known gunpowder, their inventions included but were not limited to the well-established distillation technique, which effectively purified substances such as sulfur, iodine, mercury sulfide, mercuric chloride and mercury oxide by sublimation.

also made wet copper smelting; spontaneous combustion of phosphorus; gold and silver amalgamation was studied; The flame color reaction is used to determine the composition of the substance; And discovered oxygen, knew how to prepare it, and concluded that the water contained oxygen, but it was difficult to extract, etc......

But after thinking about it, he decided not to mess with those people for the time being. First, the current Emperor Longqing is very disgusted with Fang Shi, if the Xu family or some hostile force sues and says that he is raising Fang Shi on Xishan Island, then it will be a big trouble.

Second, most of the scholars of this dynasty are cunning and ambitious, and it is really a blessing and a misfortune to get such a person to Xishan Island.

Thinking of this, he shook his head at his eldest nephew, and then said to Qu Rukui: "I have decided, the 04 Institute is established today, and you will be responsible for it for the time being." ”

Everyone applauded together and congratulated the little brother on taking the lead.

Qu Rukui's face turned green, and he stammered, "Master, I'm alone?" ”

"Well, you're alone." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "At the beginning, I didn't want you to do anything else, so I gave me all the tests in "Elementary Chemistry". ”

"That's, that's not easy...... Xiao Qu's face turned white again.

There are dozens of experiments in Elementary Chemistry, involving hundreds of chemical materials. I don't know how long it will take to find all these materials.

Moreover, the natural ones must be purified, and the unnatural ones must be synthesized...... Among them, there are many toxic, corrosive, and flammable.

Just thinking about it scared him to the ground.

"Master, the little junior brother is a little timid, or I'll come." Zhang Jian hurriedly asked.

"As a teacher, I like him at this point." Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled, and said to the disciples: "Remember, although all tests are dangerous, chemical tests are the most dangerous. The more daring a person is to conduct chemical experiments, the sooner he will die. Only those who are cautious can live. ”

"Understood, Master." All the disciples nodded and said, "That little junior brother is the most suitable." ”

"Yes, Master, he checks the latch three times every night before going to bed, and he also extinguishes the charcoal basin and puts a bowl of water between the two of us." Xing Yunlu, who slept with him on a kang, took the opportunity to protest: "It's just too cautious." ”

Qu Rukui's face was flushed, and he argued in a low voice: "Life is only once, who knows which will come first tomorrow or the accident." ”

"Look, it's the right fit, right?" Zhao Hao happily patted the little disciple's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, can you really be alone as a teacher?" ”

As he spoke, he said to a few disciples, "From your institute, each of you will take the most cautious past and support the junior disciple." ”

"Hey." The disciples have a big head for a while, the research center has just started, and there is a shortage of manpower in any of the institutes, and being poached is as painful as ripping meat. But who dares to say a word to the master, beware of the ass blooming.

Zhao Hao saw their embarrassment, and scolded with a smile: "Don't pout, I'll send you dozens of apprentices when you go back." ”

He was referring to the 220 primary school graduates at Caijiaxiang Primary School, who had just finished a month-long training and were now in Suzhou City to help set up the group's headquarters while waiting for assignments.

Although Jiangnan Group and the research center are not subordinate to each other, it is no problem for the big boss to send a few people over.

"That's good." The disciples all breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master." ”

"They all graduated from Caijiaxiang Primary School, and we must train them well." Zhao Hao said in a low voice: "The masters are all old, and you will still have to rely on these people in the future." ”

"Yes, Master." All the disciples couldn't help but nod their heads. Nowadays, there are many skilled craftsmen in the institute, but the more skilled the craftsmen, the more they cherish themselves. Not only is it difficult to accept new things, but I am also afraid that my craft will be learned.

This makes it difficult for the institute to form a positive research atmosphere.

The young directors saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but they were quite helpless. It's like 02, if you leave those glass masters, you can't play directly. Therefore, it was useless for Xing Yun to be in a hurry, so he could only coax them on the one hand and try his best to steal the teacher.

When those interns came, several directors were almost stealing teachers, so they were not afraid of them picking on them.

At that time, the atmosphere in the house can be completely reversed.

~~

Coming out of room 201, Zhao Hao entered room 101 - the No. 1 laboratory of the 01 institute.

Similar to the glass-busting 201, this laboratory has only one mission, and that is to make the best steel.

Unlike his intention to limit the development of chemistry, Zhao Gongzi dreamed of refining suitable steel as soon as possible.

Because steel is the mother of all machinery.

Without good steel, you can't make good guns, good guns, and even the cylinders of Nucordoor machines, let alone more demanding watt machines.

Well, Zhao Hao is not eager for the steam engine yet, after all, Daming's problem is a surplus of labor, not a shortage of labor. At present, even if a steam engine is built, it will not be able to bring about the industrial revolution.

But he's going to sea next year, and he needs sophisticated weapons to defend himself.

We must first make up for this shortcoming in order to be invincible!

Entering room 101, Zhao Hao's expression was different. He looked at the hundreds of black cast iron pipe fittings on the long table with a serious expression.

As with the 201, each fitting is numbered.

The difference is that this thing can't be seen as good or bad with your eyes, it's all the same as its meow......

"It's still the same old problem, bubbles and trachoma." Zhang Jian and Wang Yingxuan squatted down and dragged out a few wooden boxes from under the table.

The boxes are all broken cast iron cylinders, which at first glance are made by the Newcomen machine that Zhang Jianxin misses.

Now you can see the fame.

"It was cast in early October, and after it was installed, it cracked on the same day." Wang Yingxuan pushed his glasses

Zhao Hao picked up a piece of fragment and looked at it, and the fracture was similar to a honeycomb.

Looking at it in turn, the trachoma is getting smaller and smaller, but it is still dense and speechless.

"Master, we have tried to increase the temperature of the furnace as much as possible, and we have also tried to pay attention to the speed when casting, why are there still bubbles?" Zhang Jian looked puzzled and asked for advice.

Zhao Haoxin said I don't know, I can teach you everything...... The coke oven was also put out; It is also a reminder to increase the casting time appropriately and maintain a constant temperature for a long time, so that the air in the molten iron can be slowly discharged.

Why are there still bubbles?

"Time waits for no one, let's use a bronze cannon barrel first." Zhao Hao glanced at the tattered wooden box a little helplessly, it seemed that he couldn't wait to experiment slowly, so he could only have a luxury.

But the bronze cannon, that is to take money to cast. Fortunately, this son has the ability to make money, otherwise he really can't bear it......

Zhao Gongzi felt a little distressed.

ps. The third update, it's gone tonight.
