Thirty-two was dumbfounded, and all the masters were dumbfounded.

Li Daoxuan was happy, it turned out that this was one of the signs of the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Because advanced production tools have promoted the progress of the textile industry, the supporting industries have been unable to keep up. Therefore, in order to develop supporting industries, all walks of life will be urged to move forward together.

Very interesting, start the movie watching mode! Beautiful.

Li Daoxuan watched the fun while playing Long Chao Shou.

After Chunhong explained the weaving process, Thirty-Two and the masters finally understood that weaving requires a large amount of alkali.

Thirty-two: "Go to the craftsman's well alone and call our alkali craftsman."

After a while, the alkali craftsman came.

Gaojia Village did not have the ability to produce alkali on its own before. The women bought the alkali for imitation from the county. Later, Xing Honglang spent some money to bring back an alkali craftsman from Xi'an, and Gaojia Village had the ability to produce alkali. .

The alkali craftsman was suddenly called into the meeting hall, and felt a little panicked. Thirty-two Tan Liwen and others, to the little alkali craftsman, were one level higher than the county magistrate, and even pursued the prefect of Xi'an. He asked cautiously: "Third Steward, I wonder why you asked me to come here?"

Thirty-two: "I heard that our village doesn't have enough alkali?"

The alkaline craftsman suddenly looked embarrassed: "Yes, it's seriously not enough. Every day, women urge Renxiao to make more."

Thirty-two: "The women want alkali to weave cloth, so you can make more alkali for them, notify the craftsmen, and pay them some wages."

The alkali craftsman said with a sad face: "This is not a question of wages or not, but a matter of whether a villain has only three heads and six arms, and dozens of apprentices, it is not enough."

Thirty-two:"???"

The alkali craftsman: "When the steam engine is turned on, the textiles are flying. I work non-stop all day long. How can the villain keep up with the speed of the steam engine? The method of making alkali that the villain is using now is to combine Artemisia and Polygonum. Put them into the cellar to soak them together, and then expose them to the sun to dry. After they are completely dried, pour water on them and add noodles to make a portion of soda ash. As long as you go through this process in your mind, you will know how slow it is.

Thirty-Two thought for a while, and it was true. This method of making alkali sounds similar to making vinegar or wine. It requires fermentation time: "Then what should I do with this? Do you know any other alkali craftsmen in Xi'an? Again Go get some. How about controlling an extra alkaline tank?"

The sodasmith shook his head crazily: "Just these little brushes, I can't keep up with the steam engines. There are more and more steam engines every day. Those blacksmiths are just like animals. They keep building steam looms. One after another keeps coming out, and with each additional one, the demand for alkali increases. Unless the villain knows magic, he will be killed by these animals."

Li Daoxuan: Hahaha! Small handmade workshops, experience the horror of the industrial revolution.

Thirty-Two: "Then we have to find a way, right?"

The alkali craftsman shook his head: "The villain has nothing to do."

Chunhong: "Huh? Isn't that the end?

A group of people looked at each other.

Li Daoxuan was secretly happy: At this time, you should think of asking the school for help. It depends on whether you want it or not.

At this moment, the door of the meeting hall opened, and the third lady actually got in, holding a bowl of white fungus soup in her hand.

He handed it to Thirty-Two with a smile: "Father, come and drink white fungus soup.

The third young lady is also sixteen years old this year, and she is very tall and graceful.

She is different from ordinary ladies. She does not hide in the house every day, but shows her face in school.

I teach children mathematics and also study various junior high school textbooks on my own. Currently, I have finished studying the junior high school textbooks and have begun to attack the high school textbooks.

Thirty-Two took the white fungus soup with a sad expression, took a sip, and smiled on his face: "It's so sweet, my dear daughter cooked it well, this soup is simply [delicious and rich]."

The third lady smiled: "What is father worried about? His facial features are wrinkled together."

Thirty-two pointed at Chunhong: "Shopkeeper Chun just said that there was not enough alkali. I called the alkali craftsman to ask, but he said there was no time to produce it."

"Oh? Alkali?" The third lady smiled: "It's sodium hydroxide! This is not difficult, but there are many processes and requires several chemical raw materials... mainly sodium carbonate solution and lime..."

She talked and talked about the method of making sodium hydroxide. However, when she said this, everyone looked confused and couldn't understand it at all.

Even Li Daoxuan, who had already returned middle school chemistry to the teacher, was stunned for a long time after hearing it. After desperately apologizing to the chemistry teacher in his mind for a while, he finally understood.

Modern people learn a lot of complicated things, but modern people don't have the opportunity to put what they have learned into practice, so they forget it all after a few years.

The good news is that children in Gaojiacun don’t have this problem!

The mathematics, physics and chemistry they are learning now are really useful in everything.

The corners of Li Daoxuan's mouth raised slightly: Very good! The younger generation, the generation that has learned modern mathematics, physics and chemistry, has begun to step onto the stage in Gaojiacun. After Mr. Bai, the third lady has also begun to play a role. Then, more children will also come forward.

The next one won’t be a senior in high school, right?

Will a high school senior who skips class all day long, 3+2=32, really stand up?

Li Daoxuan felt that the mountain was big.

Thirty-Two: "Did everyone hear this? My good daughter has taught you how to make large quantities of alkali, especially you, the alkali maker, why don't you hurry up and do it?"

The alkali craftsman's sweat was pouring: "This... this villain can't even understand what sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide are. I have no idea what they are."

The third lady laughed: "Sodium hydroxide is caustic soda, and sodium carbonate is soda ash."

The alkali maker understood a little bit now. He could make both kinds of alkali, but he did it slowly. After running through the materials for making these two kinds of alkali in his mind, he finally understood the steps that the third lady just said. But I only understand the steps, but not the principles.

The third lady giggled: "You don't need to understand the specific principle. Just like making cement, you first build an alkali-making plant, and then prepare all the machines and materials needed for the process I just mentioned, and then Just start building.

In the manufacturing process, you only need to master some very basic operating procedures. "

That's right, in chemical plants in modern society, not everyone understands chemical principles. In fact, actual operators do not need to understand the principles at all. They only need to follow the operating procedures given by the technicians and perform standardized operations. .

The plan is drawn up by chemists, the machines are built by Song Yingxing, the materials are mined by miners, and the chemical plants are operated by workers... A modern chemical plant requires a huge chain to operate, and it is by no means just an alkali craftsman.

Li Daoxuan gave the third lady a big thumbs up.

Thirty-Two, of course, strongly supported his daughter’s plan, and immediately allocated funds without saying a word. The first alkali-making chemical plant in Gaojiacun, and also the first chemical plant in the world, was opened...
