Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Then have you noticed how often you have to shovel coal into the furnace, and how long the coal burns each time?"

Zhou Tian continued to ask.

"How would I know that? I only know that every time the red light on the stove comes on, it's time to add coal, so I don't know what you're talking about!"

Master Cui shook his head.

Zhou Tian nodded without saying anything. Although he did not get some data from Master Cui, he also understood that, after all, in this era, since the workers have not received scientific training, no one really understands this knowledge.

Not to mention Master Cui, even if you replace the technician, I'm afraid he won't pay attention to this.

After leaving the gas generator workshop, he was about to go to other workshops when he saw Xiao Hu and ten technicians walking towards him from afar.

"President Zhou, I'm sorry, I thought you weren't coming today, so I didn't arrange for them to come right away. Please forgive me, President Zhou!"

Xiao Hu, who was far away, apologized to Zhou Tian.

"Hahaha, no need. I overslept today and woke up at nine o'clock, so it's not Secretary Hu's fault!"

Zhou Tian, ​​however, spoke the truth. After all, it was his fault, how could he blame others? Besides, he was not someone who was afraid to admit his mistakes. Wrong was wrong, and there was nothing wrong with saying it.

"Forehead!"

Secretary Hu didn't know what to do for a moment after hearing Zhou Tian's words, but he quickly handed over the ten technicians to Zhou Tian and went to report to the factory director.

As for Zhou Tian, ​​he then took ten technicians to carefully observe the structural diagram of the entire set of synthetic ammonia equipment again. At the same time, this time he did not just have a rough understanding like the first time, but in every workshop he arrived at, he asked the technicians about the function of each piece of equipment.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was because the big brother expert didn’t teach anything at all, or if the ten technicians didn’t learn well enough. In short, every time Zhou Tian asked a question, the ten technicians knew nothing about it.

On the contrary, Zhou Tian occasionally asked the Big Brother technical experts, and they would tell him something. Although they didn’t say much, it was enough for Zhou Tian.

For five whole days, Zhou Tian spent his time in the workshop of the entire fertilizer factory, constantly observing and asking questions. It was not until five days later that he left the workshop and returned to the expert building.

After five days of study and observation, he had some understanding of Big Brother's experts. Although there were indeed reasons why many of them did not like Chinese workers, it would not be accurate to say that no one had taught him this knowledge.

Just like Fields in the synthesis tower workshop, this expert left a very good impression on Zhou Tian. Although he was tall and strong and did not look like an expert, he did have very good attainments in the field of fertilizers.

Judging from his communication with Fields at the fertilizer plant, this man's knowledge in the field of chemical engineering is not even inferior to that of an average professor.

Some of his ideas also gave Fields a lot of inspiration. During the five days, the two communicated the most and had the best relationship.

After five days of observation, Zhou Tian gradually formed some ideas of his own about this set of synthetic ammonia equipment, and today was the day when he officially started the preliminary design.

In fact, no matter which era, a set of synthetic ammonia equipment can be roughly divided into four parts: raw material processing equipment, synthetic ammonia reaction equipment, gas purification and separation equipment, and auxiliary equipment.

Among them, the synthetic ammonia reaction equipment is the most important. As for the raw material processing equipment and auxiliary equipment, Zhou Tian thinks they are not difficult.

As for gas purification and separation equipment, it is also of utmost importance.

After all, in his opinion, the chemical knowledge involved is not only useful for synthesizing ammonia, but can also be used in other fields.

With the idea in mind, Zhou Tian planned to start designing from the most basic raw material processing equipment. After all, his knowledge in chemical engineering was not enough. Even with the virtual space in his mind as a plug-in, he didn't want to challenge high difficulty right away.

The raw material processing equipment looks complicated, but in fact it only converts solid fuels such as coal into coal gas, which is used as the raw material gas for synthetic ammonia. The coal gasifier reacts coal with air, water vapor, etc. at high temperature to produce coal gas containing carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other components.

How about that? It looks simple, doesn’t it?

But to say it is really simple, it is not really that simple. The difficulty involved lies in how to ensure the sealing and safety of the gas.

While thinking about this problem, Zhou Tian’s mind suddenly flashed through a series of contents about sealing devices from his previous life.

Such as water-sealed sealing devices and mechanical sealing devices. However, after he saw the contents, he shook his head. It was not that he did not want to use it, but that it was simply impossible to achieve.

Although the country has achieved certain industrial development, such a device cannot be produced with the current industrial level, not to mention in China, even abroad it is impossible to produce it.

After getting rid of this idea, Zhou Tian started to pick and choose among them again. Suddenly, a sealing device popped out.

Flange sealing device.

Of course, the flange sealing device in his mind is not the current sealing device, but a detachable metal static sealing flange sealing device that was improved in the 60s and can withstand high-temperature baking.

After having the idea, Zhou Tian began to design the raw material processing equipment.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just when he had drawn one-third of the design of the raw material processing equipment, there was a knock on the door. However, Zhou Tian ignored it and was still immersed in drawing.

"Chief, Phils is here!"

Chang Wen walked in and said in a low voice.

As Zhou Tian's most trusted guard, Chang Wen naturally knew about the good relationship between the chief and Fields.

"Huh? Why is he here?"

When Zhou Tian heard that it was Fields who came, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly put down the pen in his hand, walked out of the room and went to the living room. You know, he had been dating Fields for five days, but Fields had never taken the initiative to look for him.

"Hey, Phils, why did you come to see me today? Is there something wrong?"

Looking at Fields sitting on the sofa, Zhou Tian walked up to him and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I just feel a little upset and want to have a drink with you!"

When Fields saw Zhou Tian coming over, he raised the vodka in his hand and smiled.

"Of course, I just don't know if you can drink more than me?"

Zhou Tian also obviously felt that something was wrong with Fields' expression, so he sat down with a smile. At this moment, Chang Wen also came over with a plate of pork head meat. After putting it down, he retreated silently.

Phils was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, Zhou, do you have any status in your country? Otherwise, why do you have three guards wherever you go?"

At the beginning, when Fields was dating Zhou Tian, ​​he didn't care about the three people around him. But then he saw the three people around Zhou Tian every day, and he had a premonition that Zhou Tian's identity was extraordinary.

So he had no plans to develop a close relationship with the other party in the future, but as the two of them got along more and more, he automatically ignored Zhou Tian's identity.

Until today, because he had something on his mind and wanted to find someone to drink with, the first person he thought of was Zhou Tian who lived on the second floor, and he came with his collection of vodka.
