Chapter 216 (1/2)
After appeasing Agust, stone bear tells brother Gai about the raw material ratio of cement.
Compared with burning glass or glass decolorizer, burning cement is much simpler. In addition, brother Gai himself has seen how to burn cement and cement kilns, so as long as you tell him the raw materials and proportion of burning cement, it is estimated that this guy will be able to burn qualified cement in a short time.
As for why stone bear knows how to burn cement, it's very simple. In the previous life, there was a small cement factory in the town where he lived. The strong workers in the village would go to the cement factory to mine raw materials when they were idle. In one winter vacation, stone bear did this job.
So at that time, he became interested in the raw materials for burning cement. Later, he asked senior high school chemistry teacher Wu, who told him the ratio of this kind of carbonate cement, and Shi Xiong remembered
It's just that stone bear doesn't know how to make cement. Originally, stone bear wanted to do several experiments, but now with brother Gai, it's solved.
Glass burning is to carry out some chemical experiments, because the chemical experiments in the laboratory can be said to be the basis of all chemical projects.
The first industrial revolution has already begun. In a few years, with Watt's improvement of the steam engine, the flame of the industrial revolution will be completely burning, and no one can stop it.
Once the first industrial revolution is carried out vigorously, the process of European modernization will completely enter the fast lane. If we do not catch up at this time, we will never catch up with it in the future.
Without the leading position in science and technology, the whole North America will fall into the hands of Europeans, just like the development process in the original history.
Therefore, it is necessary for the stone bear to narrow the technological gap with Europe as soon as possible before the first industrial revolution.
Therefore, the experiments need to be carried out now.
At present, there are few chemical experiments in Europe, that is, when the lotus is just showing its tip, in the new continent of North America. So the stone bear will try his best to find these alchemists to help him do all kinds of experiments.
Although the experimental process in the laboratory is far from the formation of real industrial preparation, it is the foundation after all. If you don't even have the foundation, catching up with Europe is a joke.
Even if the results of the laboratory can not form a large-scale industrial preparation process, but we first small-scale production is OK?
For example, all kinds of acids and salts are the foundation of the chemical industry.
To say the least, we will not engage in the chemical industry for the time being, but we have to deal with the military industry. And whether it's nitrocellulose, smokeless powder or mercury, it needs to be realized through the laboratory
To be honest, Shi Xiong has no hope that the new world will be able to form a certain chemical capacity in a short time. But through the establishment of the laboratory, and then add their own golden finger, so in advance to come up with a helmet, mercury, metal make-up and even smokeless powder and more powerful medicine, stone bear thinks it is very successful.
Therefore, it is quite necessary to set up a chemical laboratory in any way. Even if the laboratory is very simple and low-level, it is better than the one developed by the alchemists in Europe!
The most important thing is that those alchemists or scientists in Europe do not have a very clear research goal now, but they have their own!
