My Daming New Empire

It was just after noon at this time, and the weather in May of the lunar calendar was already hot. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji and Lan Yan were in high spirits, Li Liang said softly: "Your Highness, it is very hot at this time, why don't I let someone prepare the materials first, and then I will prepare the materials later. go again."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "This matter is very important, and the materials used must not be disclosed to others. Therefore, we should go to the Institute of Chemistry first, and let Lan Liangdi choose the materials alone, and then make it."

Lan Yan said softly: "Your Highness, the female officer Hu Liangshi beside me is trustworthy and can help me."

"Then let someone summon..."

If you want the people around you to recognize Lan Yan's ability, you must let Lan Yan show it. Only in this way can everyone be shocked.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to be by her side all the time, and now she is more important than most people.

Moreover, physics can be learned by drawing pictures, but chemical experiments cannot be carried out by her writing programs.Especially in the experiment of explosives, every carelessness may cause an accident.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help asking: "What kind of explosive are you going to do? Picric acid? Nitroglycerin? Or a detonator of mercury fulminate?"

"I don't know about it now, go and see what materials are available. As long as there are sulfuric acid and nitric acid, cotton, at least you can make nitrocellulose explosives."

Sulfuric acid and nitric acid were accidentally produced by Taoist alchemists as early as the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the Arabs had already learned to obtain sulfuric acid and nitric acid by dry distillation.

Zhu Zhanji paid special attention to the collection of technology. During his trip to sea, he collected materials and craftsmen in this area in Hulumos.

Therefore, the current Institute of Chemistry does not lack sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

Just two quarters of an hour later, the group arrived at Xiamaqiao Farm outside Chaoyang Gate. Under the guard of Habayashi, Zhu Zhanji was welcomed in by the Institute of Chemistry who got the news.

"Welcome Your Highness..."

"Excuse me... Open the warehouse, and others avoid it."

The researchers of the Institute of Chemistry are mainly divided into three groups, one group is the officials of the Ministry of Industry with official positions in the imperial court, the other group is the Taoist priests who are proficient in alchemy, and the third group is the largest group of dyers called from all over the world.

They didn't expect that after Zhu Zhanji arrived, he didn't say anything, and had to check the warehouse first.Everyone thought they had committed something, and panicked.

The person in charge of the research institute is a seventh-rank institute official. He quickly ordered someone to open the warehouse, and wanted to say something to Zhu Zhanji with a smile.

But his status was too low, Zhu Zhanji didn't ask questions, he wasn't even qualified to speak.

Li Liang replaced Zhu Zhanji and said: "You don't need to panic. It's just that His Highness has some income today, so he wants to select some materials from the warehouse for experimentation. After opening the warehouse, everyone returns to the front yard and is not allowed to watch."

Zhu Zhanji has been surrounded by one hundred guards and attendants for a long time, plus the Habayashi guards with at least 1000 people, and the place is blocked when he comes, so no one dares to spy.

After asking where the various materials were to be visited, they took Li Liang and that servant Hu Liang to a dank courtyard in the farthest corner.All the dangerous goods placed here are all kinds of gunpowder, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. There are many, but the quantity is very small.

If there is something missing, it will be shipped from Jiajiang Industrial Zone.

Both nitric acid and sulfuric acid are available, but there is no test equipment and the concentration cannot be tested.

Let the maid carry out the two small altars, and they went into the dye warehouse again.

There are various plant dyes here, and the number of ore dyes is even greater. Even seeing the names, Zhu Zhanji still has many unknown uses.

He asked curiously, "Are you looking for picric acid?"

Lan Yan pondered for a while and said: "Just take a look, maybe you will find out. The raw material of picric acid is phenol, and phenol is extracted from coal tar. In the future, when coal is coking, you have to have people collect those coal tar. Use Treat phenol with sulfuric acid and nitric acid to obtain trinitrophenol, which can be used as a surgical disinfectant by diluting phenol.”

Li Liang stopped holding the pencil to record. He understood every word Lan Liangdi said, but he just didn't know what she was talking about.

"Your Highness, this..."

Lan Yan smiled and said: "No need to record, I will organize these into a book in the future."

Lan Yan is very familiar with dyes. Her family was able to monopolize Shu brocade back then, not because of the power of the Shu Palace, but because of her mastery of dyeing techniques, so seeing these dyes, she felt very kind.

Walking around in the warehouse, Zhu Zhanji felt a little bored, but Lan Yan watched with relish.From time to time, he exclaimed: "It turns out that there is already this at this time, and there is already that at this time."

Fortunately, she has not lost her mind, and did not reveal their time-traveling identities.Otherwise, Zhu Zhanji would have to consider whether to kill Li Liang or not.

Some materials were selected from it, and finally, they came to the equipment warehouse.

Three years ago, Zhu Zhanji had asked Ma's family to manufacture all kinds of experimental equipment, all kinds of glass test tubes, bottles and cans, everything that one expects to find.

However, because there is not much guidance on the direction of development, these researchers have done countless strange experiments and harvested many strange things, but Zhu Zhanji does not know what these powders are.

This is the difficulty of chemistry. If you don’t get started, you don’t have testing equipment, and you don’t know what it is when something is put in front of you.

After looking around, Lan Yan was very excited, and said to Zhu Zhanji: "Now that I have a microscope and these instruments, I can build a large laboratory here."

Zhu Zhanji said softly: "You have to promise me that you can do ordinary experiments yourself, but for poisonous, harmful, and explosive experiments, you can arrange other people to do them."

Lan Yan nodded happily, but Li Liang was secretly speechless.

He had never seen Zhu Zhanji being so considerate to any woman before. Lan Liangdi was not in the limelight before, so why did she suddenly become favored?

Could it be that she is really Empress Doumu?

Thinking of this, Li Liang shuddered, not daring to think about it anymore.

Whether it's true or not, he will treat this favored Lan Liangdi differently from now on.

"Your Highness, go to the front yard and wait for a while. I need to test the concentration of nitric acid and sulfuric acid before I can make the ratio. It will take a little time. You go to the front yard and have a chat. I'll have someone call you later."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, leaving Li Liang to wait, and went to the front yard by himself.

At this time, everyone in the Institute of Chemistry has calmed down, and some people who slipped from work have also returned at this time.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about them. He didn't have any projects for them before.When the Institute of Chemistry is handed over to Blue Smoke's management, they will naturally be overwhelmed with one project after another.

In the future, workers can still be lazy, resign, and change jobs.But at this time, they have no human rights.If you don't work hard, you may lose your head. No one dares to be lazy.

Zhu Zhanji didn't take any time off either. He visited several laboratories and saw some weird things they produced.

About half an hour later, Lan Yan came to the front yard in person.But there was nothing around her, and after asking, she found out that she had asked someone to get the two jars of explosives to the testing ground.

Zhu Zhanji became interested at this time, and called everyone to the test site to watch.

This test field is about half the size of a football field, and it is full of mounds. The outside is a concrete wall more than half a meter high, which is specially used to test the power of gunpowder.

Li Liang was directing several cautious servants to bury the two jars in the mound.

Lan Yan said in a low voice: "Time is a bit tight today, I just bought a jar of nitrocellulose explosives, a jar of imitation picric acid explosives. Because of the purity, the power may be slightly insufficient. But, give me some time, I can Directly create detonators and TNT explosives."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sighed: "If you had confessed to me earlier, I would have let you be the concubine. Your contribution was even greater than mine, but you didn't get the reward you deserved."

Lan Yan smiled, and said: "Being the emperor is the hardest job in the world. Even if I have a son in the future, I don't want him to be the emperor, and I want him to be a happy prince."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and shook his head, feeling a little relieved.Regardless of whether Lan Yan is sincere or false, Zhu Zhanji is very satisfied that she can say this.

"Don't worry, I will definitely leave him a good place in the United States in the future and give him the California Valley."
