The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 205: What is a reward of a hundred or ten dollars enough for?

Fate comes and goes quickly. As soon as the alchemy conference ended, most of the alchemists gathered in Taoyang City dispersed.Most of them went north after a long journey.Obviously, the alchemy conference held by Beixiang people is more attractive than the one held by Yungu.

In a sense, Song Yingkui became a great benefactor to the alchemists in the world, making them become the most popular people and being noticed by the real big forces.

The Danshis who judged the awards and received bonuses were even more determined to go north.We are all recognized as talented people and deserve better treatment.How can a small place like Yungu be a place where talented people like me can show their talents?A bounty of a hundred or ten silver dollars is enough for what?We are talents worth thousands of dollars.

A few days ago, scholars were displeased, but now these Danshis have changed their attitude even faster.Therefore, it is not a problem of the crowd, but a problem of strength.They are both officials. People think that the officials in Dazheng and Beixiang are more popular than Yungu. What can you do?Fortunately, in a short period of time, Dazheng and Beixiang should not realize the value of the talents cultivated by Yungu itself, otherwise they will be poached even more severely.

The two brothers who knew how to make aqua regia did not go north. They accepted the olive branch offered by the Yungu City Lord's Palace and became the alchemists of the Yungu City Lord's Palace.The reason for making such a choice is not because they are noble, but because they did not win the award.If you don't win any prizes, your promotion will be of little value. The treatment provided by the City Lord's Mansion is not bad, so staying here is a good choice.

Compared with those who have not won awards, those who have won awards are less likely to stay.There was a very shameless person who ostensibly agreed to the solicitation from the City Lord's Mansion, and then ran away overnight with a bucket, for fear that the City Lord of Yungu would force them to stay.

Love to stay or not, if you don’t stay, just find a few more people who want to stay.

Since Beixiang has also held an alchemy conference, travel expenses will not be paid when the alchemy conference is held next year, which can save a lot of money.We are doing the certification for you for free. It’s quite interesting that we don’t ask you to pay the registration fee!

Relying on the alchemists who stayed behind, the Lord of Yungu City established an alchemy academy in Qinglong Mountain.The Danyuan mainly consists of two groups, one is the permanent worshipers, and the other is the subsidized worshipers.

The resident priests will receive a monthly salary of six silver dollars from the city lord's mansion. Their main tasks are daily alchemy experiments, sorting, collecting and compiling classic alchemy books, and going to the College of Engineering to teach chemical engineering students about alchemy and materials. Knowledge electives.

To subsidize the worshipers, the city lord's palace will give them a monthly stipend of two silver dollars, so they don't have to stay in the Alchemy Courtyard permanently.You can participate in some daily work in the alchemy courtyard, or you can go anywhere.The main task is to collect all the alchemy materials for the City Lord's Mansion and the Alchemy Academy.The Danyuan will pay according to the price for the collected materials so that their hard work will not be in vain. Of course, the collected materials must also list the place of origin and source. It is best to conduct a relatively detailed inspection of the place of origin.

In addition to the materials used by the Alchemy Institute, if they can provide detailed survey information on some commonly used mineral producing areas, they can also receive rewards.Yes, Song Yingkui's position for subsidized worship is that of a mineral explorer. Whether they can make money from this job depends on their own work ability.As long as they can provide a certain amount of materials to the Danyuan every year, even if they have performed their work, they will not be less subsidized in salary and material fees.

"Chemistry is a brand-new subject. In the alchemy conference held a few days ago, you should have gained a lot of knowledge and learned a lot of new materials. But what I want to say is that alchemy is not chemistry. Chemistry must learn from alchemy. Absorb knowledge, but don't limit it to alchemy.

What are the differences between chemistry and alchemy?I won't give you a conceptual summary.Today I will only talk about the differences in specific operating concepts. Any experiment conducted without dosage and ratio is not chemistry, and any experiment that does not summarize commonalities and rules is not chemistry.You must stand on the shoulders of alchemists and truly enter the door of chemistry.Another point is that chemistry is not only about materials, but temperature and environment are also key to chemistry.

To put it simply, chemistry is about allowing different materials to produce useful substances under different environments and temperatures.What you have to do is to find the rules and directions through a lot of experiments.Right now, there are not many cooling methods we can use, and heating is the most commonly used method.As for different environments, for chemical experiments, the easiest thing to do is to seal it up and build a chemical test tower in a way similar to building a kiln.

From this perspective, pottery kilns, iron-making furnaces, and lime furnaces are chemical reaction towers.The chemical reaction tower is the most knowledgeable thing. Different heating temperatures, different heights, and different layers will all affect the results.Can you consider a way to quickly cool down when heating?Can the things produced in the reaction tower be extracted in layers?The things produced in the reaction tower, except solids and liquids, are not waste, and their utilization value must also be considered.

Of course, safety in chemical experiments must also be taken seriously. Conducting experiments in a safe way is the first prerequisite for developing this knowledge.The chemical engineering department must first compile safety operating regulations. The compiled operating regulations must be reviewed and approved by the officer himself. Students must not be careless in this matter. Students without safety awareness cannot stay in the chemical department. If they are left behind, they will be Harm yourself and harm others. "

With Danyuan, relying on the previous apprentice chemical engineering class, and the newly recruited chemical engineering students from the industrial school, the Yungu chemical industry system has been officially established.Gathering students from the apprentice chemical engineering class and the chemistry department of the industrial school, Song Yingkui gave them an enlightenment education in chemical engineering.

Under the current conditions, things like molecular chemistry are definitely not possible.The right way is to first understand the basic substances and materials.For example, iron cannot be produced by burning iron ore. It is a new substance produced after the reaction between iron ore and carbon.In short, this is a subject that requires practice and summary, and is slowly developed. It is the most ideal result to be able to roughly develop chemistry and chemical engineering in more than ten years.

Among them, some chemical applications can take shortcuts and create value.For example, for nitric acid, we can start testing it as soon as possible based on the skills of the two alchemists who can make aqua regia.Make nitric acid and then glycerin to make a mixed explosive of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin.Nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin alone have unstable properties, but it is miraculous that the two together can produce high explosives with stable properties.Song Yingkui still knew the common sense of this time traveler.

The ninth month of the lunar calendar is the harvest season for autumn crops in Didao, and more than half of the year has passed.The days that have passed this year have been extremely difficult and peaceful days for Yun Gujun. Various undertakings have laid a relatively ideal foundation. Song Yingkui is satisfied with this development pace!
