Chapter 1203: Fertilizer
"Who said you have to wait until the day when you have an industrial base before you can contribute, Dr. Lu?"
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Although there is no basis for studying the power of internal combustion engines in the county now, you have knowledge - you pick some disciples in the county and teach them this knowledge, in case that day comes early, it will be much easier to teach you to have disciples as helpers, and if you come late, your disciples can also inherit your mantle, right?" ”
"yes, why didn't I think of that?"
Lu Gang waved his hand excitedly when he heard this, happy like a child.
"Dr. Lu, are you happy now? Don't worry about heroes being useless, right? Dr. Wang, Zou Leping laughed.
"Hehe, it's all thoughtful from the head of the regiment!"
Lu Gang smiled: "If I see that all of you can give full play to your strengths, and I can only eat idle meals, then can I still look up in front of you in the future?" ”
Everyone laughed again, Xu Yun, Su Yan, Mao Ying and others also laughed, and they were moved by the patriotic heart of these intellectuals who had returned from overseas.
Lu Yuan also smiled, admiring the patriotism of these doctors, professors and experts, and at the same time, he also had his own little abacus.
After all, if these talents develop industry here, they can not only help the war situation, but also accumulate rich experience in industry, and when the war is won in the future and the troops are transferred to Hong Kong, then these talents will play a greater role!
He has never changed his original intention of striking at the devil, but at the same time, he is also planning for himself, for so many brothers and people who follow him.
In the future, the war will be over, if you can still get away with it.
He also wants to build a huge business empire, in the turmoil of the early decades of the founding of the People's Republic of China, try to help the people in the country to tide over the difficulties, and at the same time, let the brothers and people who follow him, let them get enough money in return for every drop of sweat, blood and tears they shed!
He wants those warriors who have shed blood and sweat for this war not only to feel honored and proud of their efforts, but also to hope that they can grow old with dignity after selfless dedication!
Ahead, there is the steel mill, where several huge chimneys are emitting smoke and then blown away by the mountain wind.
The chimney is very low, and it is built at the tuyere, so the smoke will be blown away as soon as it comes out, otherwise it would have been discovered by Japanese fighters and then become a target. ad_250_left();
However, the hidden dangers of such a design are also obvious, and the dust that drifts is everywhere, even on the leaves of the trees.
People in this era still have no environmental awareness, there is a long way to go, but he can't solve it, he just wants to have more steel, can be exchanged for money to develop troops, can make guns, mine grenades, and even artillery.
He wanted to have both environmental protection and yield, but he had to choose one or the other.
But that was before, and now he obviously has a better plan, which is the ultimate goal of this inspection team.
"Professor Sun Xing, I heard that you are a professor of chemical engineering, right?"
Lu Yuan came to a tall and thin man in his thirties and said with a smile: "Professor Sun is not a few years older than Lu Yuan, but he is rich and rich, and he is already a professor at a famous British university, which is really unbelievable......
"Isn't it? And also a professor at the University of Cambridge! ”
Dr. Wang, Zou Leping, and Lu Gang laughed and said: "When he said that he was a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering in Cambridge, we couldn't believe it, thinking that he wanted to come back to make a name for himself, and he specially asked President Li to send someone to investigate him......
"Doctors, don't laugh at me!"
Sun Xing smiled shyly, pointed to Lu Yuan and said: "Commander Lu is in his twenties, but he is already a famous combat hero all over the world, and the invincible Japanese army is simply a chicken and a dog in his hands, don't make me ten times stronger......"
"That's ......"
"Young Yingjie, ......"
Everyone is sycophant again, Wang Ma Pole, Xu Yun, Big Dog Bear, Pan Haodi and others laughed and agreed, and they were also honored.
"Okay, okay, let's stop praising me, if I continue to tout like this, Lu Yuan will have to find a crack in the ground to get into!"
Lu Yuan laughed, and only said after a while: "I don't know how much Professor Sun knows about chemical fertilizers?" ”
The yield of wheat shocked Lu Yuan, and with such a low yield, it was quite difficult to feed the original population, let alone in case of famine in the future.
So, the first thing he thought about was fertilizer.
Although the use of chemical fertilizers will cause soil compaction, food taste decline and other consequences, but now, what he wants is to let everyone eat enough, so what does it matter about soil problems and taste problems?
Originally, he wanted to try to produce chemical fertilizers with the help of Dr. Wang and others who had experience in pharmacology similar to chemical engineering, but after getting to know Su Yan thoroughly, he found that there was a chemical professor in the team at all, which made him overjoyed.
"Fertilizer, know a little!"
Sun Xing thought for a while and nodded: "In 1838, Mr. Rouse synthesized phosphate fertilizer, that is, the phosphate rock produced by treating sulfuric acid with sulfuric acid, as well as nitrogen fertilizer, etc., which has a great effect on the growth of grain, but there has been no authoritative report on the damage to the quality of grain, and the yield is not high, so it has not formed a large-scale use ......."
Lu Yuan knows all about this.
Of course, he doesn't really want to know about these processes, he wants results.
"Professor Sun, if you are given all the conditions to prepare, can you produce phosphate fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer?" Lu Yuan asked.
"There is nothing wrong with phosphate fertilizer, but nitrogen fertilizer is troublesome......"
Sun Xing pondered for a while before saying: "However, the phosphate rock and sulfuric acid required for production are in short supply in China, and the amount of phosphate rock sulfuric acid required to make chemical fertilizers is too large, so it ......."
There is no phosphate rock here, sulfuric acid is highly corrosive, and now the Japanese army is completely blockaded, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is too difficult to produce fertilizer on a large scale here, and it is not much lower than Yugong moving mountains!
"Yes, Captain Lu, if there are suitable materials, in fact, we can do many things - what the British and Yankees can do, we can do, we Chinese, by no means really much dumber than them!"
Dr. Wang said: "But now, the chaos everywhere, the need for mineral deposits and other raw materials is the biggest problem restricting industrial development!" ”
If you want to get rich, build roads first!
Lu Yuan's mind instantly jumped out of the classic slogan of developing the economy decades later, but now, it can't be repaired.
Outside, he can't fix it if he wants to, and inside Trojan County, he can't fix it at all.
Trojan County and the Eighth Route Army base here, it is to rely on the inconvenient roads and rugged terrain of the mountain roads to deal with the Japanese army, if the road is repaired, the little devils drive tanks and cars, and carry countless cannons in, even if they are iron-blooded and brave, no longer afraid of death, in the face of fierce artillery bombardment, it can only be a dead end.
