My Daming New Empire

This is mainly because Zhu Zhanji didn't let her experiment by herself, and asked her to teach some people first and let them conduct research.

On the other hand, because penicillin requires a lot of melons, when the melons are out of season, the research has been delayed a lot.

On the contrary, in terms of explosives, breakthroughs have been made repeatedly because of the understanding of detailed equations and the ease of collecting raw materials.

From the initial nitrocellulose explosives, to nitroglycerin and picric acid explosives, until the day before the new year, smokeless gunpowder and TNT explosives were finally developed.

Nitrocellulose explosives and picric acid explosives are very unstable, and they are developed into colloids, then pressed into sheets, cut into strips, dried and hardened, and then smokeless gunpowder is made.

This invention is of great significance. Smokeless gunpowder has no residue after burning, and emits no or only a small amount of smoke, but it can improve the range, straightness of ballistic trajectory and shooting accuracy of projectiles.

The TNT explosive known as the king of explosives is a very powerful and quite safe explosive, even if it is penetrated by a bullet, it will generally not burn and detonate.

Moreover, although the power of TNT explosives is slightly inferior to that of picric acid explosives, it is only slightly inferior.In terms of comprehensive performance, this explosive is known as the best explosive, so it is recognized as the king of explosives.

The main component of TNT explosives is trinitrotoluene, which is mainly extracted from coal to benzene and toluene, and then nitrated.

Because of the high toxicity, Zhu Zhanji would not let Lan Yan test it himself.

But the explosives made by Lan Yan have already made the whole Institute of Chemistry worship him and become a real authority.

With the direction planned by Lan Yan, they are not afraid of toxicity and danger, and they quickly passed the test and got the sample.

The laboratory stage is easy, but it is not so easy to mass-produce.

On the side of the Institute of Chemistry, a complete set of procedures for making TNT explosives is obtained by hand, and each procedure needs to be designed with a corresponding process.

Moreover, these processes have to be separated, and each process is strictly kept secret.

At least for several decades, this whole process will never be made public, let alone apply for any patents.

The design process is actually the basis for the development of the entire industrial age.

The popularization of all applications requires a corresponding process, and the process is the most reasonable means of technology application.

Any technology, from theory to experiment, from experiment to achievement, from achievement to popularization, requires corresponding means. This means is what can truly change the world.

Taking the production of TNT explosives as an example, coal tar is first needed, and the refining and production of coal tar require corresponding technical means.

Secondly, coal tar needs to be nitrated and vulcanized. During this process, a large amount of toxins are produced. Some products can be refined by hand, but large-scale production requires the design of corresponding safety measures.

What is a safe method is to de-artificialize and seal, which involves the expansion of the distillation technology of the entire industry.

Distillation technology has appeared in the Song Dynasty, but there has been no complete or more advanced improvement technology.

Because no matter whether it is brewing wine or cooking salt, don't use a too closed environment.

The invention of the steam engine is not just about improving the power. In the application of the steam engine, the design of various pipelines and the pressure test are actually a technical improvement of distillation.

To apply distillation technology to the production of the chemical industry, each process requires careful design.

From the power source to the distillation and sealing, if each step is to achieve the expected effect, it requires the people of the research institute to conduct many demonstrations and experiments.

Only when it is possible for them can this technology be promoted and popularized.

This is because of the existence of Zhu Zhanji, he can directly point out the development direction of technology and apply it without any worries.

But in fact, except for the mechanical technology, it is a step-by-step process.Throughout history, the application of chemical technology, and most of the breakthroughs, are composed of countless accidents.

Even in future generations, this is still the case.

Here at the Institute of Chemistry, in order to prepare for the production of the three acids and two bases, a million-word notes and process flow have been drawn up.

Seeing these extremely omitted classical Chinese notes, Zhu Zhanji lost his temper immediately. He didn't come to guide the work today, the main purpose was to lose his temper.

Although Lan Yan is the Liang Di, but because she can't directly contact the foreign ministers, the communication with the researchers is through the female officials under her command.

Although she is a science student, she is much better at classical Chinese than Zhu Zhanji. One of them is a scumbag and the other is a top student.

Zhu Zhanji is of course the former, while Lan Yan is the latter.

Lan Yan is the concubine, even if he has a temper, he can't express it. Most of the time, he can only play a guiding role.

She proposed several times that scientific research needs to be recorded with more detailed data and more popular sentences, and should not pursue the refinement of words, but these people turned a deaf ear.

After Zhu Zhanji got the news, he also saw the records of these people.

The refinement of Chinese characters is unmatched by any other writing.But if it is used to explain the process and record the data, it will be refined and a bit harsh.

The East pays attention to the succession of master and apprentice, and likes to pay attention to hiding the first hand, and pays more attention to the transmission of experience rather than data.

At Lan Yan's request, they reluctantly added data to the records, but they still followed the previous habits for the expression of words.

In classical Chinese, the six word orders of subject, adjective, predicate, definite, object, and complement are different from modern languages, which is not a big problem.

However, in order to pursue simplification, classical Chinese often has some omissions, which leads to subject-predicate-object confusion.

Often the writer writes a sentence, but never writes it clearly, and it is habitual for people to guess.

Just like the phrase "the people can make it from what they can but not make it known", there have always been three interpretations.

In terms of liberal arts, it doesn't matter much, at most there will be some differences and disputes.But for serious science, it's a disaster.

Taking a simple bearing as an example, it is divided into inner diameter, outer diameter, inner and outer wall thickness, width, hardness, steel ball size and other dimensions.

A machine requires countless bearings of different sizes and countless connected parts. Each part must be described in detail, and the strength of the connection must be specified.

As a result, on the entire page, there are only various sizes, and there are very few attributives.

Don't talk about people who don't understand, even people like Zhu Zhanji who understand can't understand what is written.

It's okay to say that, after all, there are blueprints, which can be compared according to the pictures.

However, some processing techniques, more complex inferences, and some design ideas are even more difficult to understand when written out.

A million-word craft proposal seems to be a lot, but in later generations it is only three books.Relying on three books, Zhu Zhanji didn't believe that all the plans to build a three-acid and two-alkali factory were included.

It can be said that even if the craftsmen build factories and develop equipment strictly according to the plan, they are still inseparable from researchers like them in every link.

In the eyes of most people, these are taken for granted, but in Zhu Zhanji's view, this is a great waste of talents.

As a scientific researcher, what is the matter if you devote all your energy to a research process?

So Zhu Zhanji would rather waste a few months than lose his temper on purpose to shock everyone.

"Gu has high hopes for you, which is why Lan Liangdi passed on the heavenly scriptures given by Empress Doumu to you. Here in Gu, in Lan Liangdi's place, there are still countless knowledge waiting for you to study and sort out. You distract him.

I need you to reorganize this plan and write it out in plain language.You don't need literary talents, you don't need writing skills, as long as people who can read and understand technology, they will know what to do after seeing this plan. "
