Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chapter 72 The sugar factory is a great success

"It still doesn't work. The strength of this kind of glass is too low. Once it is made thin, it will explode when electricity is applied." Yuchi Baoqi looked at the pile of fragments on the table and felt irritated.

As half a month passed, except for the sugar factory, which was still under construction, other workshops began production. Yuchi Baoqi spent countless time and energy in the glass workshop every day, but the production process still stagnated.

"How about making the wall of the tube thicker like an incandescent lamp?" Yuchishan suggested.

"No, the pipe wall is too thick and it will explode if the heat cannot be dissipated when the electricity is applied, let alone need to be evacuated. Let's improve the heat resistance and strength first." Yuchi Baoqi shook his head.

Although all the techniques have been well learned and practiced by the glass craftsmen, I did not expect that the electronic tube, the highest technology of glass products, has requirements on raw materials.

These craftsmen can only start as apprentices, adapting bit by bit and testing the strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance of the glass produced in various ratios.

Yuchi Baoqi left the glass workshop. Since it was such a repetitive job, there was no use staying here. Let's go and see how the sugar factory was doing. I heard that the first batch of white sugar was going to be mass-produced today.

When I arrived at the sugar factory, I saw that the workers were preparing all the raw materials needed for the sugar making process in an orderly manner. Chang Sun Chong and Xue Rengui were directing the overall dispatch.

"It's not bad, it looks decent. How about it? I heard it was pretty good when I tried it out yesterday. Are you confident about mass production today?" Yuchi Baoqi asked with a playful smile on their shoulders.

Changsun Chong was very nervous. He was the kind of person who was very confident but still nervous. He rubbed his hands nervously: "I have confidence, it's the result of so many people working together, but I'm still worried that something will go wrong when I get there."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at his nervous look: "Look at Rengui, he doesn't feel nervous at all. After all, he is from the Tianwei Army, and his psychological quality is very good."

"Du, Governor. Who says I'm not nervous? I'm so nervous that I can't even move. I'm not nervous." Xue Rengui looked at Yuchi Baoqi and said awkwardly.

As Chang Sun Chong started making sugar, the workers checked the operation of the machine again and whether the workers at each station were in place, and then began to push the raw material, sugar cane, into the roller press.

As the sugarcane is pushed into the machine and the juice is squeezed out, the flow tank below catches the juice and transports it to the settling tank, where lime is added and heated for precipitation.

While waiting for cooling, Changsun rushed to the outlet of the roller press and took out some squeezed sugar cane.

"Very good. These sugarcane bagasse are very dry and extracted very thoroughly. When the time comes, water will be added to the bagasse to fertilize it, and it can continue to fertilize the sugar cane in the sugarcane garden." Changsun Chong was very excited.

As the cooled cane juice is filtered, lime milk is added for secondary precipitation. The clear and translucent cane juice is heated to become massecuite and then sulfurized and neutralized. After completing these processes, a very viscous massecuite has appeared. After the workers have cooled the massecuite, they transfer it to the crystallization workshop.

A large amount of white granulated sugar and soft white sugar are obtained through dissolution and crystallization, which are flawless and sacred.

Changsun Chong took a small spoon, took a little of the crystallized white sugar, put it into his mouth, and closed his eyes instantly.

"Sweet, so sweet. It's not the sweet taste of caramel. This one has no other taste at all, only sweet." Changsun Chong had never eaten such delicious candy, and he was intoxicated.

Yuchi Baoqi also gave it a try: "Yes, it's good, pure sweetness without any foreign taste. Give me two packs and I'll take them away. I'll go back and get some candied haws to satisfy my craving. The rest will be kept in the warehouse and sent to Chang'an, mainly to the palace." side."

Xue Rengui tasted it and found it very sweet. "Don't worry, Commander. As you said before, this time we will open up all the roads along the way and build cement roads as well as our Songzhou Express Station."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "It's better to build the cement road slowly. We must first build our own station at all important locations along the way."

Looking at the white sugar that is constantly crystallizing in the crystallization workshop, the workers are busy. The bags of white sugar are neatly stacked on the carts, and there are workers specifically responsible for transporting them to the warehouse. Changsun Chong was so fascinated by this industrial division of labor process that Yuchi Baoqi didn't even respond when he called him.

"Hey, I've piled the fertilizer for growing sugar cane in the sugar factory warehouse for you. When the time comes, you can get it to the sugar cane garden yourself. It's best to build another warehouse there to store the fertilizer." Yuchi Baoqi stretched out his hand. Dazzling in front of Changsun Chong's eyes.

"Oh, okay. The fertilizer warehouse is right, okay, okay. I'll arrange it in the next few days, don't worry." Changsun came back to his senses and assured Yuchi Baoqi.

After leaving the sugar factory, Yuchi Baoqi planned to go to the military camp to see his father. Recently, his father had not returned to the Governor's Mansion and had been staying in the military camp. She should also go and see him.

"Just because you still want to join the Tianwei Army reserve team? Only six people completed the five-kilometer cross-country road with heavy loads on time, and only two people completed the wilderness survival. Do you think it is so easy to join the Tianwei Army?"

Before entering the military camp, Yuchi Baoqi heard his father's roar. Hearing how furious his father was, Yuchi Baoqi regretted coming to the military camp.

"Here, I won't hit the muzzle of a gun when I come, right?" Yuchi Baoqi carefully slipped into the military camp.

"Crawl forward! Come on, come on, are you insects? So slow, you are already dead on the battlefield. The bow and arrow hit you, you are wailing. And your limbs and robes need to risk their lives to save you! "Yuchi Jingde looked at the natives crawling in the mud under the barbed wire fence, the Songzhou defenders, and even the civilians on Zhuangzi.

"Dad, you haven't been back for so many days. Are you training here?" Yuchi Baoqi was afraid of angering his father.

"Soldiers? Are they worthy? It almost pisses me off. Look at their tactics. If they really go to the battlefield, they will die without knowing how." Yuchi Jingde said angrily.

"Calm down, calm down, Dad. This is the white sugar produced by the sugar factory today. Try it." Yuchi Baoqi put a bag of sugar in his father's hand.

Opening the sugar packet, pouring a little bit into the palm of his hand, Yuchi Jingde's eyes widened, and he smacked it into his mouth.

"It's so sweet, it's really sugar. How did you get such white sugar, just use that sugar cane? It's really strange, not bad. Have you sent some to His Majesty?" Yuchi Jingde asked.

"I plan to deliver it, but the journey is too far, so it will take a long time. This candy was just made today, and the output is very good. The price will not be very expensive, and the people can afford it." Yuchi Baoqi saw his father happily Eating sugar makes me very happy.
