Chapter 52: Synthetic Ammonia

When Edel returned to the palace, he asked the guards to find the 'synthetic ammonia' information and began to check it.

After some learning, Edel finally understood the technology. This is an item invented by Fritz Haber this year. Ammonia is directly synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen under high temperature and pressure and in the presence of a catalyst. It is a basic inorganic chemical process. However, it is still a laboratory work and has not entered industrial production. Now the most important role is as a raw material for the explosives industry, which can replace the role of saltpeter.

Since most of the saltpeter mines are now in Chile, they are mainly controlled by the British. Then the ammunition of other countries is in the control of the British, after all, ammonia is an indispensable raw material.

Caluster, arrange for someone to get to know Fritz Haber, who invented 'synthetic ammonia'. Let's see how far he has researched. We can convert them into industrial investment, and it is best to obtain production authorization. . Edel called the captain of the guard to instruct him.

Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange for a reliable person to do it. The chief of the guard was also unequivocal, and immediately went down to arrange personnel after answering the crown prince.

Call Sikuslow and Roseriva for me. Carust, who returned to his office, sent someone to call over the two guys who had invited Rudolf Diesel.

We just came back from a business trip, so why let us go again. Sikuslow and Rosriva who were called learned complained to the captain of the guards when they learned that they were asked to go on a mission again.

Carust stared at the two of them without answering, and the two who were stared at by the captain of the guard felt unbearable, Sikuslow said quickly. Okay let's go

The two took the task and walked out of Carust's office, Roseriva told Sikuslow. You still don't understand the head, there is no possibility of negotiating to arrange your task.

I know, I just couldn't help but want to say a few words, so many guards arranged for us to go. Sikuslow said to his partner, and then complained about his partner. Hey, I'm not trying to get some benefits for us, can't you say a few words for me?

I can't help with this. You are the only one in the entire bodyguard regiment who dares to argue a few words with the captain of the guards. I still admire you. Roseriva wore a high hat to his partner.

The two soon came to Karlsruhe by train, and after some inquiries they found Fritz Haber, a professor at the University of Karlsruhe. After getting to know the two of them, Fritz Haber took them to his laboratory.

This is my masterpiece. Fritz Haber pointed to the ammonia synthesis plant consisting of closed systems such as converters, compressors and circulating pumps. In fact, the two of them had long been stunned in the face of a series of professional terms from Fritz Haber, but fortunately, Fritz Haber just brought them to see the production status of synthetic ammonia. After some experimental operations, the two saw the liquid ammonia that was just produced.

Professor Fritz Haber is unbelievable, your experiment was so successful. Is this the magic of science? It's fascinating. We need to send a telegram to the country and report everything we have seen with our own eyes, believe It will soon bring a lot of money to the professor. Still the most slick Sikuslow told Professor Fritz Haber.

Okay, we researchers also need funds to strengthen the power of science and technology. So there is no difference between us on this point. The only difference is that we provide intelligence and you provide money. Professor Fritz Haber looked at I've been looking for sponsors a lot, and I'm also very knowledgeable when it comes to the scene.

By the way, professor, your 'synthetic ammonia' technology can be fully industrialized. I heard that there is no chemical factory to discuss cooperation matters. This is completely unbelievable. Sikuslow asked this before leaving, which made Fritz a little bit. Professor Haber's embarrassing question.

I don't know that. I guess they don't like it.

Hearing Sikuslow's question, Professor Fritz Haber himself was a little depressed.

This promising experiment of my own should, in principle, be needed by many chemical plants. But many people don't quite believe his experiments, and he himself has gained indifference and doubts, which makes Professor Fritz Haber speechless.

Before Sikuslow and the others came, Professor Fritz Haber's last hope was his friend and colleague Engel. Now Engel is working as a consultant at BASF. He believes that Fritz Haber's 'synthetic ammonia' is a masterpiece of changing the chemical industry, so that Germany can no longer be affected by the British control of saltpeter, so he is also trying his best to BASF. Recommended, but BASF has not responded yet.

After seeing the synthetic ammonia with their own eyes, Sikuslow and Rosriva sent a report to Edel, who was waiting for news in the country, and described everything they had seen.

Eder in the palace soon saw the telegram sent by the two, and did not expect that there was such a story in Fritz Haber's synthetic ammonia. If it wasn't for Eder's memory of a previous life and a little impression of 'synthetic ammonia', then this technology would have no connection with Romania. It is expected that this technology will only be obtained after World War I, which is impossible for Eder, who is bent on seeking more benefits for Romania in World War I.

Facing such an opportunity, Edel will not give up. Ander soon sent a telegram to the two waiting for news in Karlsruhe.

Hi Sikuslow, what did the telegram say? Rosliwa asked his partner, who was watching the telegram carefully.

See for yourself.

Sikuslow handed him the telegram he had read, and Roseriva looked at it with the telegram. In the cable, they are required in China to sponsor the Fritz Haber Laboratory of no more than 1 million gold marks (more than 40,000 pounds). However, 800,000 of this money can only be used for the industrial research of 'synthetic ammonia', and the other 200,000 is a personal funding for Fritz Haber.

As a condition, Fritz Haber had to authorize Romania to use his synthetic ammonia technology. In terms of the achievements of industrialization, Fritz Haber and the individuals and manufacturers who will join in the future cannot have an agreement to exclude Romanian use.

This is really a generous donation, if only I had 1 million marks. Rosliwa sighed enviously after reading the telegram.

Yeah, if you go to apply to the crown prince, maybe you will arrive. Sikuslow taunted his partner.

Can't you think about it yet? Roseriva was obviously mocked and couldn't hold back his face.

Well, we need to tell the conditions to Professor Fritz Haber.

The two ended the dispute and came to Professor Fritz Haber's laboratory again, and Fritz Haber, who met them, knew that there was a result.

Hello professor. Today, I sent a message from China. I am very interested in the 'synthetic ammonia' technology. I hope to get your authorization to use it. Sikuslo said straight to the point after he came in.

What when you don't know the conditions? Fritz Haber asked the crucial question. Sikuslow told the professor that he had seen the conditions on the telegram and said that Fritz Haber was quite satisfied with the conditions. After calling his partner Rosegel for discussion, he decided to accept the Romanian conditions.

The cable about Fritz Haber's approval of Romania's use of 'ammonia' technology was quickly placed on Eder's desk. Eder still sees clearly on 'synthetic ammonia', and this technology will definitely be used in the explosives industry in the future. Romania's national strength is too weak, and it can't keep this technology. It can only drink soup. During the First World War, saltpeter could not be transported into the Black Sea, and it had to find a way. Fritz Haber's 'synthetic ammonia' technology is a good opportunity.
