The planting was completed and the next wave of tasks had not finally come out. Yang Yuanzhao had time to pay attention to the development of Baotou's industry. He handed over nitric acid to Smith and Baotou, but he did not stop. Although Ricks did not have a complete plan, the general plan could still be done. In a corner of Baotou, the drainage area of ​​the industrial area, and the downwind place. This is the future, the location of the synthetic ammonia factory. Synthetic ammonia is an important raw material, and he can directly lead the production of fertilizer plants and nitric acid plants.

Therefore, the two pieces of land around were also planned. One smaller one was the nitric acid factory in the future, and the other part was the fertilizer factory.

Fertilizer plants will occupy a relatively high position in the Baotou Industrial Park in the future. Large fertilizer projects are necessary. China has always maintained the habit of farming. During the millennium farming, farmers will adopt fallow or turnover methods. However, after thousands of years of consumption, for China's land, the fertility of the land is slowly overdrawn, and grain output will also decrease year by year.

To be precise, fertilizer is urea. In later generations, the soil solidification caused by excessive use is not necessary to consider this issue for the time being. Excessive land is urgently needed to help with fertilizers, so the effect of fertilizers in China is very amazing.

However, 60,000 hectares of land and more than 6 million mu of acres of fertilizers will consume more than 300 million kilograms, which is 300,000 tons. In this way, the all-in-one machine cannot meet the amount of fertilizer used in Baotou. It will take 10 years to produce fertilizers suitable for Baotou's agricultural production. In the future, when the all-in-one machine is upgraded, it will be shortened to 5 years or even 2 years, but the all-in-one machine cannot serve the production of fertilizers. For Yang Yuanzhao, the most important function of the all-in-one machine is to put it on the production rate of finished or low yield, such as high-power optical lenses, microscopes, and future electronic products. Steel and fertilizers are just emergency use.

The project of this fertilizer plant was a little rushed. Before the Smith Laboratory in Shanghai was thoroughly researched, it had already done preparations, just to reduce the time.

However, Yang Yuanzhao received a telegram from Shanghai, using a few telegrams to briefly tell their final results, of course, a more detailed process. He would be transported to Baotou by a dedicated person, through the relay of ships and trains. Yang Yuanzhao missed the network and fax machines of later generations countless times. Unfortunately, those were things that were only available after the phone was truly popular. Now, it is a bit too early.

The launch of the fertilizer factory is not a secret, and Yang Yuanzhao did not intend to use it as a secret. He just didn't think about working with others, but before he could be stable for a few days, Yang Yue came here.

"Cousin Ji, why are you free? How did Xiaomai do it?"

"Wheat grows well!" Yang Yue briefly talked about the current progress of wheat, and then transferred to the fertilizer factory.

Yang Yuanzhao knew Yang Yue’s purpose as soon as he heard it. With the increasing application of chemical fertilizers, to a certain extent, fertilizers have become an important weapon for northwest agriculture to compare with the production areas. In the past, the northwest had barren land and had no output at all. To a certain extent, it could also become cotton warehouses and granaries. In the entire west, the long sunshine conditions, to a certain extent, it is suitable for cotton production, and then assisted with scientific management methods and the use of fertilizers. To a certain extent, it is an efficiency multiplier. The cotton harvest of Baoken Company has been proven, and what many landlords have seen the most is the magic of fertilizers.

It is precisely because of this situation that more and more landlords are willing to join the Daobaoken Company camp, and the land suitable for planting near Baotou will be added to the Dao system. Under this situation, the demand for fertilizers will soar. Thinking about the few purchases given by Yang Yuanzhao before, even if the price remains unchanged, this is a highly profitable product.

"Cousin Ji, what do you mean is that the Yang family is willing to invest in the fertilizer factory?"

Yang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just the Yang family!"

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao knew that the eight major Jin merchants who joined the textile factory now and many landlords were supporters of Baoken Company. They just thought that this fertilizer was imported from abroad, so they didn’t think much about it. Now that they knew that the cost could be produced, they immediately became interested. What industries are larger than agriculture, how many farmers and land are there in China? If grain can be increased, cotton can be increased. If one acre of land can be invested 1 yuan, or even more, it is no problem. What a vast market this is, even cotton may not have a large market.

"The matter of a fertilizer factory is just a preparation. The specific investment and scale are enough. It will take a long time to complete the synthetic ammonia factory!"

Yang Yue sighed and said, "I thought it was unlikely that Brother Yuan Zhao had used fertilizer before, because the cost was too high. Unexpectedly, he might be able to see it in Baotou in less than half a year. It is really impermanent!"

"As long as you think about it, there is nothing that cannot be done. China's backwardness is not only scientific but also ideological. Cousin Ji has achieved many achievements these days. If it were half a year ago, could Cousin Ji think of it?"

"I can't tell you. If you have more, I won't say anything. You can do it when it comes to the fertilizer factory. I believe you will do it well!"

Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said nothing. Yang Yue quickly said goodbye. Although he had never thought about cooperating with everyone, it was not because he wanted to eat alone. The key was a promotion issue. Unexpectedly, without saying much, these merchants and landlords who had a special liking for land have seen many benefits of fertilizers. In a sense, it was equivalent to saving a lot of his mouth. In addition to the insufficient production of fertilizer plants in the early stage, once the output increased, this sales would not be a problem.

The winter in Baotou is extremely cold. In the clear and cold climate, the location of the industrial area has become a huge construction site. Since the month of the past, the project has never stopped, but today's project is strange and looks strange.

A huge building is under continuous construction. From a distance, it looks like a huge spherical shape, which looks completely different from the previous machinery and equipment. The huge cylindrical tank body is more impactful than the previous tall buildings.

This is a high-pressure sealed can that was directly imported from Germany and successfully manufactured. To be honest, there are very few people who know this machine in Baotou at present. Yang Yuanzhao and a group of workers are nervously installing this equipment.

More than a week ago, I received a simple strategy for telegram. Last night, the detailed report had been sent from Shanghai to Baotou, so today, the comprehensive and systematic construction began.

Ricks was also among them. As a qualified engineer, after receiving the information from Smith Laboratory and was still incomplete, he knew the efficacy and experimental results of the entire equipment. He confidently started the preliminary facilities and put the machinery and equipment into the appropriate position. Now, he has obtained a complete strategy, and has even let go of his hands and feet and started to work hard.

Electrolyzing water and air separators are basically mature products. You can get it from second-hand equipment transported from Germany. The key is how to clean out the oxygen in the air. The method of burning carbon layers that have been burned multiple times at low temperatures. As long as this sealing is maintained, in the experiment, the air needs to clean up most of the oxygen. When the oxygen in the air gradually disappears, the burning charcoal will also be extinguished. This is a complete cycle process.

Two huge sealed tanks. One can withstand a high temperature of about 500 degrees, and is the most important reaction tank. The largest one is placed here, almost 200 cubic meters. The huge tank is almost as high as a few floors, which is very eye-catching in Baotou. The other one is even bigger, with a total of 500 cubic meters. The technical difficulty is much simpler. This is a tank that removes carbon dioxide. After the combustion of multiple layers of carbon and oxygen is removed, the remaining gas will be removed with the help of 70 atmospheric pressures. Then the remaining gas will be loaded into a special sealed cylinder. This is the raw material for the synthesis of ammonia in the future.

This is the part of the synthetic ammonia that belongs to nitrogen. Smith's laboratory also wants to remove the separation of inert gas, but the liquefaction temperatures of some inert gas and nitrogen are relatively detailed. Such separation has little impact on the final result. In a sense, it should be that the economic benefits are not great, but there will be a lot of waste. After measuring the left and right, I gave up.

Hydrogen produced by electrolyzing water is already very common in this era. There is already one second-hand equipment in Germany. Although it is relatively small, it can be achieved. The amount of hydrogen used is far less than that of nitrogen. After synthesis of ammonia, the future use will be recycled. The hydrogen generation tank is a little less, which is acceptable. These two parts need to be produced separately. In the two parts of the factory, after the purification is completed, it will gather in the center of the entire factory. This is also the most important equipment in the entire factory. The area of ​​synthesis of ammonia is the key to determining the synthesis of ammonia and the final construction project. There are many pipelines connected. In this era, there are few accurate gas valves that need to be expressed in the design. In this way, the proportion of gases entering the reaction tank can be accurately controlled. This is the final result of multiple comparisons and calculations.
