A certain prince had already prepared multiple emergency plans in advance, so even if there were casualties at the scene, he would not be blinded.

There are also well-armed doctors nearby ready to rush to the scene of the incident to treat the injured. If the serious injury is not cured and the legs hang up, it will save trouble and can be taken directly to the morgue...

The guy who was distracted was lucky. He was only slightly burned. It was said to be a burn, but in fact it was just the skin on the back of the hand and around the wrist that was burned red by sulfur powder. Just apply some ointment and you can continue working.

"Why are you all standing there in a daze? Do you want to make the same mistake again?"

Chu Xianzhang, the eunuch of the Supervisory Bureau, saw that everyone saw an accident and there was something to watch, so he stopped what he was doing and took a break. The father-in-law was immediately furious and shouted loudly before letting the craftsmen around who were watching the fun People resume their duties.

The prince is sitting on the scene, you dare to be lazy, you really think your life is too long, the prince is kind-hearted, he has given you a monthly salary increase, and also increased the food, but you are still trying to take advantage of the situation, it is really outrageous, there are such people again Wait, you must be severely punished.

Yao Ji didn't say anything about this. No matter what time it is, the biggest hobby of the local indigenous people, regardless of gender, is to watch the excitement. As long as it has nothing to do with themselves, they will hang up. The bigger the excitement, the better it is. It is best to kill a few people. It will look better.

Indifferent, selfish, and powerful, they are born with something to control and must be controlled at all times. Otherwise, it seems that they have lost their support and their backbone. They don’t know what to do and become A bunch of headless flies, bumping around.

"Bang~! Dang!"

After seeing Eunuch Chu getting angry, everyone had no choice but to continue working, but their legs, feet, and brains did not act in unison. The two jealous guys walked forward before turning around, and ended up falling before they saw the person coming from the other side. Crash together.

"Ah~!"

The pig-like screams sounded again. The newly synthesized dilute sulfuric acid was not as scary as concentrated sulfuric acid, but it was also highly corrosive. Even if it was protected by a coat, after it penetrated into the epidermis, it would cause people to pull their necks and howl in pain. He screamed endlessly.

Even though what was broken was only a small bottle of dilute sulfuric acid, and the final dose that was splashed onto the skin was not much at all, the sulfuric acid would quickly heat up after contacting the skin, which still made the craftsman miserable.

"Hmph~! You deserve it!"

Don't watch the excitement that you shouldn't see. There is a row of partitions and screens blocking it. You are still trying to pry into it. You all want to stretch your neck to have a good look. You don't know that not watching the excitement will make you feel uncomfortable? Or will you die if you don’t watch the fun?

If you were thrown sulfuric acid because you were watching the excitement, isn't this a voluntary act of suicide? I hope you can take this as a warning and stop being such a fool in the future. Otherwise, if you use a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid, you will turn into a little monster.

There are too many people watching the excitement of car accidents on the road, and being directly hit and killed by cars coming from behind. For them, watching the excitement is more important than their own lives. No matter what the occasion, they cannot be stopped from watching the excitement.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that all personnel stop what they are doing, stand where they are, and listen to the oracle!"

Yang Jinchao screamed and conveyed the latest instructions to everyone, and Yao Ji couldn't bear it anymore.

"You all, please listen to me! If any casualties or utensils are damaged due to watching the excitement, those who disobey the order will be directly expelled from their household registration, and the whole family will be demoted to miners!"

Yaoji stood on the table with a loudspeaker made of paper shells and shouted to a group of idiots. If he didn't warn them, the few kilograms of sulfa he had finally made might be a disaster for these mentally retarded things.

If the efficacy is really close to the original version, even if it is only about 30 to 40% of the original version, then this batch of sulfonamides will be equivalent to gold. If one pound of sulfonamides is exchanged for one pound of gold, buyers will flock to it.

"I have finished speaking. Let's continue working!"

I didn't want to say this at first, but a certain prince saw that everyone was still indifferent, so he had to add it in the end. They are really a bunch of idiots. They will let you watch the fun when you get the chance. You never want to watch the fun again in this life.

As I said before, what we are doing is toxic substances, and what we release is toxic gases. If we still have a lazy mentality, and we get into an accident because of our carelessness, it is really not a pity to die.

Hearing that they were going to be fired by the prince and become miners, the craftsmen became nervous now. They didn't want to go mining. Although being a craftsman was hard work, it would not be so tiring that it would cause physical exhaustion. The boss would take care of it according to the output.

Miners have to mine all their lives, and their names sound like they belong to the category of craftsmen, but everyone knows in their hearts that they are slaves. Once their household registration becomes slaves, for ordinary people like them, there will be no chance of improvement in their lives.

So everyone put away their curiosity, cheered up, and carefully engaged in the work at hand. With the lessons of those two unlucky guys, everyone knew that if they were not careful, they would end up like them.

"Your Highness, you want the pressure cooker to be ready!"

Shi Wende, the general manager of the Banking Bureau, didn't know why the prince asked his yamen to make a pot, but the order was beyond words. The structure of this pot was very special, so it deserved to be carefully crafted by the top craftsmen in the yamen.

A sturdy man came forward, holding a short cylindrical thing in his arms. Judging from his expression, he was still struggling. I guess this thing must be very heavy, weighing at least twenty or thirty pounds. It is completely a large size. of weights.

Yang Jinchao looked at it, but it was difficult to interrupt.

Can this object be called a pot?

No matter how you look at it, it looks like an iron ingot?

But since the prince calls it a pot, it must be a pot and cannot be changed by others!

"How many are ready?"

Yaoji is looking forward to this. If it succeeds, sulfonamides can be produced in small batches.

"I am foolish and incompetent. I only have one bite today, and I can prepare the second bite tomorrow!"

The drawings provided by the prince were very complicated. Shi Wende summoned his best craftsmen and worked intensively for three days to make such a pot.

"That's all, that's all. How is the air tightness? Is it leaking?"

Just like this, if it explodes like the popcorn converter, then the pot will be useless.

This is still a small matter. Without liquid ammonia, it is absolutely impossible to make sulfa, and all previous efforts will be in vain.

"Yu Chen tested it before and fired it at 300 degrees. This pot has never leaked!"

Shi Wende felt that he could only say this, and he did not dare to exaggerate anything else. Once it was exposed, it would definitely arouse the prince's anger.

"Okay, I'll see if I try it later!"

When ammonia is at zero degrees Celsius, it will not be liquefied until the pressure reaches 430 kPa.

If we put it in the current temperature of more than 20 degrees, it would take more than 900 kilopascals to become a liquid.

For a certain prince, this was simply an impossible task, because the pressure of an ordinary pressure cooker is only about 200 kPa.

No matter how tight the airtightness of the pot in front of you is, the top of the pot is only 300 kilopascals. It cannot liquefy ammonia at normal temperature.

So Yaoji plans to pressurize the pressure cooker to near the limit first, and then transfer it to the large inner ice cellar for cooling.

The room temperature there is below zero. Even if ammonia cannot be directly liquefied, it is enough to see some hope.

At worst, they would use the saltpeter ice making method and build an underground ice cellar to liquefy ammonia.

It is possible if the room temperature reaches minus ten degrees. If that still doesn't work, you'll have to wait until winter.

When the capital is the coldest, the outdoor temperature will definitely be below minus 20 degrees, so it is easy to obtain liquefied ammonia.

But in that case, some seriously injured people would have to ascend in advance, and Yaoji would still have to try to create sulfonamides as soon as possible.

Even if the purity is not enough, the efficacy is very limited, and the output is not high, it can be considered that I have done my best, and I am worthy of my conscience.

This winter, a certain prince will definitely produce sulfa in large quantities.

As long as it can be exported overseas, all the military expenditures spent in Xia Tian can be earned back.

After thinking about it, Yaoji decided not to go to the ice cellar to harm the queen.

The ice stored there is all ice collected in winter, not ice made from saltpeter.

Because saltpeter ice contains a few toxic ingredients, ordinary people can just eat it as long as it is too hot. But for the royal family, who value health very much, they cannot ignore food hygiene like this.

If we start the ammonia liquefaction experiment tomorrow, we can dig a cellar today and use saltpeter to make ice. There are many cellars in the city, some are used to store ice, and some are used to store vegetables. They are all ready-made. Requisition an empty one. That's it.

Let Anmin Factory, which produces gunpowder, make ice directly. There is a lot of saltpeter stored there, so it is perfect for them to make ice. There is no need to worry about the side effects. It is not for eating anyway, as long as the amount is large enough and fast enough.

In short, we need to build an ice cellar in the shortest possible time. The best temperature is about minus 20 degrees. If it can't reach it, it doesn't matter. Then just add more ice. The Anmin factory can't do anything else. Ice is definitely the best. Eat a lot and be full...

Yaoji immediately gave up the idea of ​​experimenting in Miyagi City. The toxicity of ammonia is not too great. Inhaling a small amount can cause nasopharyngeal inflammation and bronchitis. However, once it spreads in the back palace, it will make the nobles uneasy. rather.

After finally using mahjong to divert the attention of his beautiful biological mother, the emperor's sister-in-law, and his aunts, if he got ammonia poisoning at this time, there would be no limit to how much he could deceive himself.

A certain prince believed that the pressure cooker he designed would most likely explode when the lid was opened. Coupled with the effect of ammonia, it would cause great chaos in the palace. It would be better to try it in various yamen.

"Xian Zhang, do you know which cellar in the Twenty-Four Yamen has the lowest temperature and is the easiest to store ice cubes?"

If there is a ready-made one, there is no need to dig anymore. If it takes a lot of effort, groundwater may be dug out.

"Your Highness, I think the cellar in the Wine and Vinegar Noodles Bureau is in ideal condition. The Bureau often uses it to store vinegar to prevent it from deteriorating in the hot weather!"

Chu Xianzhang didn't know why the prince asked such a question. Could it be that he needed to store some ice cubes?

"Then let him free up a smaller one for me to use for experiments. Since this experiment is more dangerous and will release toxic gases, food such as wine and vinegar should be moved to other cellars first. Tomorrow, I, There will be a palace examination tomorrow, so we can do the on-site experiment the day after tomorrow."

It doesn't matter if we postpone the experiment for a day. Didn't Shi Wende say that he can still make one pot tomorrow? It's just a good idea to take both pots with him. The two pots can be tested twice. Otherwise, if one of them blows up, there will be no fun at all. What a bummer.

Yao Ji thought about it again, but gave up: "Forget it, let's find a place to dig a new cellar. Experimenting in the wine and vinegar noodle bureau will inevitably cause toxic gases to spread into the wine and vinegar, affecting the safety of the royal meal. Start digging today, at least three feet deep and two steps long and wide. After digging, you can start placing ice cubes inside to lower the temperature of the cellar to below freezing point as soon as possible."

If you draw a sketch according to this standard, it seems that this is not a cellar, but clearly a well~!

Theoretically, the deeper it is, the better the insulation. If possible, dig a cellar a hundred meters deep!

There are a lot of coolies kept in the yamen, and as long as you have enough money, they can dig you out overnight.

Yaoji is not worried at all in this regard. If he can't even do this, he might as well die...

A certain prince ordered ten trucks of ice from the Anmin Factory, and they must all be delivered to the designated location before six o'clock tomorrow.

It takes so much effort to exchange one pound of sulfonamide for one pound of gold, and that’s all at the ex-factory price, which is definitely worthy of one’s conscience.

During the exam tomorrow morning, a certain prince does not need to watch. He only needs to show up when he is appointed in the afternoon.

You can continue to do experiments when you wake up in the morning. It is best to prepare all semi-finished products except liquid ammonia.

As for whether it can succeed, it depends on the next generation pressure cooker in front of you!

Visual inspection shows that the side of the pot is about one finger thick, and I don’t know how strong it is, but the thickness seems pretty convincing.

The sealing ring is made of rubber imported from the Malay Peninsula. I don’t know whether Zheng Laopi snatched it or bought it.

The Southeast Asian specialties required by the imperial court all come from the Zheng family fleet, but they are all traded normally.

I never asked how the previous company "stocked the goods".

If this pot really can't liquefy ammonia, it can't be thrown away directly. It can be used to stew beef...

It seems to be poisonous, and I’m afraid the remaining ammonia can’t be disposed of cleanly, so I’d better throw it away!

The hopes of all infected and wounded soldiers are pinned on one pot. This is really a scam!

No way, it's not winter now, and the weather will get hotter and hotter.

In summer, that is when wounds are most susceptible to infection.

Making liquid ammonia is as difficult as making an atomic bomb!

The sulfa produced at that time was ten times more expensive than gold of the same quality!

There is no most pitfall, only more pitfalls...

Otherwise, let’s try the “biochemical cantaloupe” again!

Let’s see how the “penicillin aunts and uncles” feel, and see if they can give birth to little penicillins!

"Ho ho ho ho..."

A certain prince sat there in a daze for a long time, and finally burst out laughing through his gas mask, making Xi'er and Yang Jinchao beside him confused.

If ammonia really cannot be liquefied, then I would simply break the can and bring these lovely gases to the battlefield, and then...

Hopefully it was a tailwind, but it would be tragic if it was a headwind.

The entire army was wiped out, and right now, a certain prince made a divine assist for the Emperor Taiji.

Can I use an airship to airdrop ammonia gas?

How toxic the concentrated version is, we still have to grab a few pigtails to test it.

It seems that it is much easier to invent biochemical weapons than to manufacture drugs.

If we can export on a large scale, we can earn back the cost.

I hope the cans will not be damaged during transportation, otherwise the people on the boat will have to waste their martial arts skills...
