my magic industry

Chapter 47
On the other side, there is a similar coarse salt refining device, except that a heating stove is added under the cylindrical cauldron.

By adding the vine bark powder of the soap vine used by the poor in the slums to wash clothes in the boiled coarse brine, a large amount of foam is generated to help the crystallization of salt crystals, and the remaining brine is added to lime water to obtain magnesium hydroxide precipitation.

Such two production lines can produce 1500 pounds of white sugar, molasses and refined salt every day, and almost 100 pounds of magnesium hydroxide, which can be used for firing refractory bricks in brick factories.

This output is 30 times higher than that of the original small sugar workshop. Old John was taken by Xia Lin to the completed sugar refinery and salt factory, and he saw that the centrifuge, which was [-] to [-] times larger than the centrifuge in his own small workshop, was under unknown force. It looked like it started to turn itself, with a dumbfounded expression on its face.

After Xia Lin proposed to let him manage the sugar and refined salt factory, he looked at the uneasy faces of the forty people in the factory, but he accepted the position under Xia Lin's persuasion.

The 1500 pounds of white sugar and refined salt a day also brought a daily profit of 60 gold to the industrial park, and the market for white sugar in the imperial capital also expanded rapidly.

As for the molasses produced, it was stored by Charin for subsequent winemaking, and was only sold on a small scale near the factory at a price of 5 copper bis.

Fortunately, the imperial capital has extremely convenient water conservancy and transportation conditions. Businessmen from all over the world are willing to buy white sugar as a profit point for the return trip when they see a new product like white sugar that has a high unit price, high profits and does not take up space. Otherwise, Xia Lin would still have some Worried that the market will not be able to digest the white sugar he produces.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Sugar Guild not to see such a huge market. It is impossible for them not to be tempted when they see the Greg Chamber of Commerce and Charlene Carr make a fortune.

It's just that there are many factions within the Sugar Guild. Among them, the enlightened nobles and businessmen who are inclined to the queen have responded to the queen's call and contributed to the fundraising of the industrial park.

This gave those who supported the imperial daughter the opportunity to participate in a piece of the pie, and at the same time made up for the remaining [-] gold Lunde funding hole in the Xialin Industrial Park.

Therefore, even if other members of the guild strongly demanded to sanction Xia Lin's sugar factory from raw materials, Xia Lin could still buy enough raw materials from many nobles and merchants who had sugarcane manors in the south or brown sugar sales channels.

After the sugar and refined salt factories were put into operation, Xia Lin asked the dwarf masters to produce a batch of [-] flying shuttle looms with machine tools.

The spring, the most critical part, adopts the process of carburizing and quenching after being wound with cooked iron wire, and the rest of the wooden parts are processed by machine tools as easily and happily as cutting tofu with a knife.

During this period of time, the Greg Chamber of Commerce has purchased roving and sold spun yarn aggressively. The price of spun yarn in the market is at a low point. Encouraged by this good news, many chambers of commerce in the weaving industry have expanded their scale.

However, when Xia Lin's textile factory using the shuttle loom recruited enough female weavers in the slums to start producing cloth, they found that the direction of the market became a little weird.

Obviously the Greg Chamber of Commerce and its small partners are still selling a large amount of spun yarn, but the price of the spun yarn is constantly rising, and at the same time the price of the cloth is still falling slightly. After a little inquiring, they found that the Greg Chamber of Commerce has started to expand again. Sell ​​cloth in bulk.

Moreover, the cloth of the Greg Chamber of Commerce is much wider than their cloth, and after selling it at a price that is [-] copper pess lower than theirs, it is naturally welcomed by the buyers in the imperial capital.

Could it be that the Greg Chamber of Commerce is not satisfied with ruling the spinning industry, but also extends its hand to their weaving industry?

Some members of the textile industry whose interests have been harmed are once again angry, but this time their joint sanctions are completely useless to the Greg Chamber of Commerce.

First of all, the Greg Chamber of Commerce is already a giant in the spinning industry at this time, using technology sharing to dominate most of the spinning chambers of commerce today.

And spinning is the upstream industry of the weaving industry. If the Greg Chamber of Commerce offends, many small weaving chambers of commerce may not be able to get enough spun yarn to produce.

Secondly, Xia Lin has instructed the Greg Chamber of Commerce to spread the word among the enlightened faction. They will also share the technology of the new loom as before. The chamber of commerce that needs the new loom only needs to pay a "patent fee" to get Authorization to use new looms.

Such a large-scale interest alliance has naturally offended many people, but it also made the Greg Chamber of Commerce a pawn of a huge interest alliance. The forces of the Enlightened Faction united to support him, and used the new technology provided by Xia Lin to go around in these markets. Conquest, invincible.

At the same time, it also brings a steady stream of profits to investors in Xialin and the industrial park.

The finished cotton cloth on the market is a big arr, that is, a cotton cloth about 1.5 square meters in size. The price is three silver arr, and the cost is usually more than two arr.

However, the cost of cloth with a larger format woven by the flying shuttle loom is only one silver mal and sixty copper pess. Even if the price is set at two silver mal, the textile factory can still earn money. A lot of profits, but Xia Lin and Ellen didn't want to tear themselves apart with the textile guild for the time being, so they didn't use such ruthless price reduction tactics.

Even so, the cotton produced by the mills was more competitive than other chambers using traditional looms.

After all, a skilled female worker on a traditional loom can only weave a two-meter-long cotton cloth in one day. To weave a larger cotton cloth, two people need to cooperate to throw the shuttle on both sides.

The flying shuttle loom designed by Xia Lin can weave 15 meters of cotton cloth by a skilled female worker a day, and more than five meters by a novice, and the width is naturally larger than that of traditional looms.

Therefore, after the cotton cloth produced by the textile factory occupies a large part of the cloth market in the imperial capital, the textile factory can bring 30 gold lunt profits to the industrial park every day.

The last thing put into operation was the soda ash factory that Xia Lin was thinking about. With soda ash, caustic soda can be produced, and with caustic soda, soap can be produced.

In addition to soap, soda ash has many other uses. For example, it can neutralize the acidic substances produced by fermentation when pastries are leavened. It can be used as a color-fixing agent for dyes. In addition, it can also be used to make glass.

The method of making soda ash is also quite simple. Using the Lublin method, the three raw materials, i.e. Glauber's salt, limestone, and charcoal after dehydration, are placed in a crucible according to a certain ratio and reacted at a temperature of 950 to 1000 degrees Celsius to produce soda ash and sulfide. calcium and carbon dioxide.

The product is crushed and finely ground, filtered in dissolved water, and the solution evaporates and crystallizes to become the finished soda ash, while the filtrate is black calcium sulfide, which can be used as insecticide and luminous paint.

The arrangement of the soda ash plant is similar to that of the brick factory and the cement factory. Several vertical kilns are used for reaction calcination, and then the power of the waterwheel is used for the grinding table.

After the first trial production and obtaining good quality products, Xia Lin finally completed the first phase of the industrial park plan.

So far, each factory has invested a total of 1237 Glenn, excluding the rest of the silver Malcobis, and the daily profit has reached 110 Glenn. This is still in the brick factory, cement factory, machine tool factory, and soda ash factory. In the case of sales.
