Chapter 767 (Third update, please subscribe)
In fact, it is not difficult to become a Daming person!

As long as they are good enough, Daming has always opened the door to outstanding talents.

For example, for a professor at Nanhua University like Friedrich Weller, he can be naturalized as long as he wants.As a chemist, he was hired to teach at Nanhua University six years ago.

He is also an outstanding talent on the "Emperor's List". For such an outstanding talent, Daming will give special treatment - he can even be naturalized without changing his name.

However, Friedrich Wöhler has never been naturalized. As the inventor of synthetic urea, he opened up a new chapter in organic chemistry, and he likes the scientific research environment in Nanhua very much.

There are world-class facilities and sufficient funds here, which allow him to engage in many researches that interest him with students. In fact, this is the reason why Daming can attract many people to come here—more excellent research environment.

As a professor of the Chemistry Department of Nanhua University, Weller, of course, also needs to undertake teaching tasks, and this is his main job.

Although roll call is not required at Nanhua University, Wei Le unexpectedly discovered that the student was absent from class again.So I asked specifically.

"Who of you knows Li Xuecun, why didn't you come to class today?"

"Mr. Weiler, he may still be staying in the laboratory. Recently, Xuecun almost lived and ate there."

In the laboratory?

Weller frowned, but didn't say anything. He was very impressed with Li Xuecun's student. He was a very talented and hardworking student.

Is he doing some kind of experiment?
After class, Weller went directly to the laboratory. As soon as he arrived at the laboratory, he saw Li Xuecun busy in the laboratory.

When he walked into the laboratory, Li Xuecun, who was indulging in the experiment, didn't notice his arrival. He just took notes there and observed for a while, Weiler said curiously.

"Student Yukimura, are you experimenting with electrolysis?"

"Ah, Mr. Wheeler."

When he looked back to see the teacher, Li Xuecun remembered that he still had his class today.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Wheeler, I was fascinated and forgot today's class."

"It doesn't matter, you are conducting an electrolysis experiment, what do you want to produce?"

"chlorine!"

Li Xuecun replied directly.

"Until now, the production method of chlorine gas is still produced along the method invented by Bertolle in 1789. This method is to put a mixture of sodium chloride, manganese dioxide and sulfuric acid in a lead still, and after heating, it will The cost of this method is too high to produce chlorine gas, and chlorine gas is widely used, such as the production of bleaching powder. If electrolysis is used instead, its production cost should be reduced."

"Produce chlorine gas by electrolysis?"

Seeing that the teacher seemed a little puzzled, Li Xuecun explained.

"Mr. Wheeler, the production of chlorine gas by electrolysis can be traced back to 1833. At that time, Faraday, after a series of experiments, found that when an electric current was applied to an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, that is, electrolytic sodium chloride aqueous solution, chlorine gas could be obtained. .However, since there was no practical generator to generate enough current at that time, Faraday's discovery could only stay in the laboratory scale and could not be put into large-scale production, but now there is a stable power supply, You can try to produce chlorine gas by electrolysis."

Chlorine production by electrolysis was discovered by Li Xuecun when he was looking through materials in the library. Although there were only a few simple sentences in the written records and not detailed, he still achieved extremely rich returns through a series of experiments.

"In the process of extracting chlorine, by-products such as hydrogen and sodium hydroxide and metal sodium can be obtained."

When Li Xuecun showed his experimental results, Weiler couldn't help but sighed in his heart. When he waited until the end, he looked at the students and said.

"This is an invention worth more than [-] yuan!"

"what?"

"Xuecun, you can ask the school's lawyer to contact the chemical company. I believe they will be very interested in your invention."

Why a school lawyer?Because the inventions of students and professors in the school, the school has the right to share the patent money. After all, the school provides them with experimental equipment and places, and the school can guarantee their interests to the maximum extent.

Now the patented inventions of the teachers and students of the school have long become another extremely important source of income for Nanhua University. It even exceeded one million as early as last year. Knowledge is wealth. This sentence is placed on the side of Nanhua University. It couldn't be more appropriate that a seemingly inconspicuous practical invention can make a person rich.

Tens of thousands of dollars seems to be far from being a millionaire, but it is definitely enough for ordinary people to squeeze into the industry of the rich. Besides, Li Xuecun is only a [-]-year-old youth.

A seemingly inconspicuous invention changed the fate of Li Xuecun.It will also change the fate of many people in the near future, and this is not what these scholars can predict.

On the campus of Nanhua University, there are various inventions every day, and some of these inventions will be applied, and some may be shelved because of their low practical value. However, many changes in Ming Dynasty started from here At the beginning, even the legendary "Imperial Central Laboratory", to a certain extent, its value cannot catch up with this place, because compared with the "inventions" of the "Imperial Central Laboratory", the inventions here are only It is an invention that truly belongs to Daming people, without any outside help.

A few days later, in Li Xuecun, he signed the patent authorization letter and received a check of [-] yuan from the lawyer. Before he could even finish his work, Associate Professor Xu Lin from the Department of Chemistry left. Said in front of him.

"Congratulations, student Li Xuecun!"

"Thank you, Professor Xu, it's just luck."

"Scientific invention itself requires a little luck, which means that your luck is not bad. By the way, you should be graduating next month!"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm preparing to defend my graduation thesis now,"

"What are you going to do after the defense? I just heard that Manager Chen from Imperial Chemicals gave you a job offer. Imperial Chemicals seems to be a good choice. After all, it is the largest chemical company in the Empire."

The teacher's question made Li Xuecun laugh.

"After the defense is over, I plan to go around Daming first. After all, I have money now, don't I?"

"Well, indeed, I should go to various places when I am young, right..."

Xu Lin took out a business card from his pocket and said.

"After your trip is over, if you are interested, you can come here, and he will provide you with a new job opportunity!"

"Career Opportunities?"

The moment Li Xuecun took the business card, he was stunned, and there were a few words written on the business card.

"Imperial Central Laboratory".
