Chapter 1332 The Use of Shells

The genius had just brightened up for a while, and there were already quite a few pedestrians and vehicles carrying goods on the road.Dai Dehou still remembers the first time he came to this main road, the bustling bustling scene, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his eyes, even the streets of the famous ancient city that Mr. Baibo Road.

Unexpectedly, the head of such a road was not satisfied, and later he built this railway. This is really a road paved with iron!The iron strips thicker than an arm are spread on the wood. This kind of extravagant feeling makes Dai Dehou feel distressed every time he looks at it-how much does it cost.

The main road and the railway were built next to each other, away from the Baojia River—the chiefs gave him the elegant name of Wenlan River, but he was still used to the old name.Dai Dehou looked from afar across the rows of camphor stakes, and the rice fields on the opposite side were divided into large squares. Farther away, on the slope of Exiang Ridge—now called Gaoshan Ridge—bigger diversion canals will call more The water from the reservoir was diverted, and a row of bungalows were built next to it, where the chiefs' farm laborers lived.

A few days ago, when the autumn harvest was busy, Dai Dehou worked as a seasonal laborer and went down to the rice fields on the farm. The fields were full of rice waiting to be harvested, and the heavy golden bones made him happy when he saw them.

The chiefs are really good at making even the rice so well.

Dai Dehou turned [-] this year. His ancestors were originally from Lingao, but later the ancestors separated, and his family went to Danzhou Zhidi to live.Although it is not a wealthy family, it can be considered a well-off family.His family has a few acres of Susukida, and there is a small shop in Danzhou City that does some dry fish, shrimp and shellfish business. Food and clothing are not a problem, but a few years ago, Danzhou was hit by a storm, which not only severely affected his family, but also accidentally injured him. , I had no choice but to borrow a loan, and I have been living a tight life for the past few years.

Later when the Australians arrived in Lingao, everyone thought they were some powerful pirates at first, so they left after making a fuss. Unexpectedly, the roads of the Australians reached Nanbao within a year. At this time, people in Danzhou were panic-stricken. The family moved away, and he had to repay the loan immediately. He was forced to sell the land at a low price to pay off the debt. Then Danzhou City suddenly caught a lot of cheap Lingao catches, and his dry goods business plummeted, and he lost a lot. Pen, the life of the whole family suddenly disappeared.

Dai Dehou thought about his family's relatives in Lingao. Although they only had contact with each other during the New Year's Eve, they could help. He also heard that the market in Lingao was very prosperous under the administration of the Australian Prime Minister, and there were many businesses to do, so he decided to come here High looking for food to eat.

When I came here, I found out that the catches sold by the chief here are so cheap, he can’t do it in his old profession, and he also thought about joining the chief’s team, but this Australian chief is not an ordinary pirate. To work for them is to join them The custom is to shave your hair and wear it easily.

Dai Dingshi, the ancestor of the Dai family, was originally a Juren of the Song Dynasty and one of the celebrities in the history of Lingao.Although the literary style of their generation has long since faded away, Dai Dehou still has a bit of literary style, and besides, his old parents are still there, so he dare not let them suffer this crime.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of work here. Dai Dehou's family rented a relative's house, and he worked part-time everywhere. His old parents, his wife and children did some small business, and it was easy to talk about food and clothing, but living under the fence was not a long-term solution.

Not far from a large half-repaired building site, the train began to slow down and slowly stopped at the station, and then the horn sounded to announce the station.

"Passengers, please pay attention. Passengers, please pay attention. We have arrived at the Mayiao New District Station. We have arrived at the Mayiao New District Station. Passengers who get off here should line up to get off! The next stop is the Mayiao Industrial Zone Station."

Dai Dehou hurriedly got out of the car. This construction site is where he does temporary work at night. It is an area for the family members of employees. They are all buildings. Only employees are eligible to buy them. This place is more than three miles away, and two miles away is where his family temporarily lives. place.

At this moment the day shift has started, and thousands of workers in blue overalls are busy working inside, and many of them are men and women in various clothes, either going back and forth between the train station and the construction site, moving or Carrying, moving the building materials from the crane arm of the railway station to the construction site, or doing some physical work such as lifting stones and pulling a wheelbarrow, these are temporary workers like Dai Dehou.

"Everyone from Group 35 came here to sign in, ready to go to work!" A foreman with a shaved head and a blue cloth suit ran over with a clip.

Dai Dehou hurried over. The so-called sign-in is to press a fingerprint on the paper, and then get the tools and start working.

Temporary workers are naturally doing simple manual work, and they are paid on a piece-rate system, and of course the salary is not high.Not to mention comparing with regular employees.

Dai Dehou is very envious of the treatment of the official employees of the chiefs since he inquired clearly: the income is several times that of his, and the whole family can afford to eat meat every day-of course, meat from seafood.The fish in Lingao market is not expensive, especially the fish balls and fish sausages from the seafood factory are very cheap. Even a part-time worker like his family can buy them here every now and then—the most important thing The head of the staff and workers will also solve the house, just pay some circulation coupons every month, which is much better than the partial house where his whole family lives in a relative's house.

There are more and more people in Lingao now, and there are many jobs around Bairen City, so it is easy to make a living, but it is too difficult to buy a house, and the chiefs are repairing more and more big houses on their sites, but they have to join the tenants to buy them.The homesteads of other locals have been in Lingao for a year and saw the selling price go up. Now that the price is high, few people are willing to sell it. If they don’t get a house sooner, I’m afraid there will be no place to stand in the future.His family can't stay with relatives all the time.

Bopu Seafood Processing Factory started a new day amidst the lingering steam.

The freshest soft scallops collected at dawn have been carefully stripped of their flesh, washed several times with clean water, and sorted into different porcelain vats.

"Well, this tank is full of oysters, 15.00% is enough, that's [-]%!"

Hu Yicheng stared at his apprentice and wrote down the numbers. Don't forget the concentration of hydrochloric acid, then wrote the date and type, and pasted it on the porcelain jar lid before looking away.

Different kinds of shrimp, crab and shellfish require not only different concentrations of hydrochloric acid to dissolve, but also different processing times and yields due to the different components of their shells, so the purchase price is naturally quite different.

There was a porcelain vat that had begun to pickle against the wall. Hu Yicheng walked over there, looked at the sign, opened one of them, and stirred it with a porcelain stick.

"Well, as long as there are no air bubbles, this tank can be cleaned, wash it a few more times!"

Seeing the rough hands and feet of the workers, Hu Yicheng couldn't help being a little angry. The quality of the workers in the seafood processing factory is far worse than that in the pharmaceutical factory. I don’t have much culture, carelessness, and unreliable work are all good. A few days ago, some workers drank hydrochloric acid because they were curious about whether it was salty and sour!He had to put aside the matter of the pharmaceutical factory and come here to watch in person.

The workers on the morning shift did not dare to take a breath, and began to wash with water over and over again. Since there were no acid-base indicators such as phenolphthalein and methyl red, they had to wash several times to ensure neutrality. The efficiency was low and water wastage wasted. up.

Hu Yicheng went outside again, where there were two porcelain steamers, and the raw materials after cleaning were being boiled with alkali, which needed to be boiled twice with [-]% sodium hydroxide solution.

Then there was the most troublesome decolorization process before. Since there was no stable supply of potassium permanganate and sodium bisulfite, we had to continue to test and improve the process, which also delayed the mass production of the project.

At present, it is soaked in [-]% dilute hydrochloric acid, stirred continuously for two days, and then exposed to the sun for one day to obtain semi-finished chitin.

Afterwards, it can be sent to a pharmaceutical factory to be cooked with 40.00% strong alkali for six hours. After washing, dehydration and drying, the urgently needed product-chitosan can be obtained.

This is a glass-like white and transparent colloidal solution, which is insoluble in water and dilute acids and alkalis. It has high viscosity, light resistance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, no deliquescence, no weathering, and no fear of insects. , Anti-wrinkle and anti-shrinkage.

Because of these properties, it has a wide range of uses. It can be used as a setting agent in the textile industry to produce crisp shirt collars that do not deform after washing, or as an advanced color-fixing agent for dye coatings.In the power industry, it can be used as a protective film for special wires, or as an insulating material.In the paper industry, it is also the raw material for high-grade paper such as capacitor paper, banknote paper, and coated paper.In the food industry, it can be used as a thickener and as a clarifying agent for high-grade white sugar.

Of course, in Lingao, its most important use is medical. Although there is still a shortage of many reagents, it is impossible to produce surgical sutures, but it is not difficult to produce hemostatic dressings with gelatin, glycerin and chitosan. In the engine operation in full swing, or on the construction site with high ground, trauma such as massive bleeding is very common. These hemostatic dressings can save the lives of many people.

Damn, another tank was scrapped, Hu Yicheng went back to the house, seeing the panicked look on the worker's face, he didn't have the strength to scold anymore.

"Scrap this tank." Hu Yicheng waved his hands feebly and threw out these words.

Due to the lack of modern chemical preparations and primitive inspection methods, Lingao produces medicinal chitosan, and the process is carried out according to the most stringent standards. Reproduction in the pharmaceutical factory in Bairen City can only be processed into semi-finished products in the seafood processing factory in the port area. If it does not meet the standards, it can only be scrapped and sent to a garment factory or paper factory for waste utilization.

The freshest crustaceans are needed for medicinal purposes, frozen dead ones cannot be used for the time being, and the fresh and live crustaceans salvaged by Lingao Fishery Company usually only keep the most economically valuable ones, which is too wasteful to use for pharmaceuticals. As the process improves, such fresh raw materials will not be needed in the future, so the purchase price will naturally be lowered or even stopped.
