Chapter 599: 599 Refining Salt Mine

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Ye Fu fully charged all the batteries, the water wheel in the space is running normally, and the lights in the mining area are now on 24 hours a day.

Thousands of residents in Haguang City and shelters in resettlement houses have also been burned by sun poison. There are also many factories in Haguang City, and now they are gradually resuming production. The first batch of insulated suits have been distributed, and those who do not have insulated suits have to do so.

Residents who do not go to work can only wrap their bodies tightly or go out wrapped in sheets and quilts.

What the base is most worried about is the crops in the planting area and the hundreds of acres of medicinal fields a few kilometers away. If they are burned to death by the sun's poison, the losses will be immeasurable.

The scientific research team thought about artificial rainfall to resist the power of solar poison, but after the sun came out, there were not a single cloud in the space. Without clouds, there were no conditions for artificial rainfall.

In fact, helicopters can also be used to sprinkle water. The principle is the same as aerial fire extinguishing. The water in the dam reservoir is still sufficient. Sprinkling water will not waste too much water. It is just that the planting area and medicinal fields add up to thousands of acres. Sprinkling water is not the same.

An easy thing.

Cheng Lin has been very busy recently. After the sun comes out, many people in the base suffer from various sequelae. Many people go blind after looking directly at the sun. The hospital is full every day, and the pharmaceutical factory is expanding. It is said that 30,000 more workers will be added.

Fifty production lines.

The number of patients burned by sun poison is increasing every day. The burns are similar to burns and scalds. Many patients have blood blisters on their arms, their skin has become burnt black, and there is a pungent odor.

The doctors at the base are all elites, so they are naturally good at treating burns like this. Fortunately, there has been an abundance of medicine recently, and the patients have taken the medicine, and the burned limbs can be saved.

Some people are unlucky and suffer direct burns to the top of their head and face. The burn caused by sun poison is comparable to sulfuric acid, and the burn on the face is equivalent to disfigurement.

The top of the head was burned, and all the hair follicles in that area were necrotic, and no hair would grow in the future.

Because of the clumsy refining method, only two or three tons of salt ore can be refined every day. Looking at the mountains of salt ore piled up in the space, Ye Fu had a headache. How long and how long will this work last?

"No, you have a good rest. I will be back soon. I have to refine salt mines during the day. Your body can't bear it. Unlike you, I don't feel tired."

Jiang Run didn't say anything. A night without sleep would have no impact on him at all. It would be better to collect the supplies as soon as possible. Then he could help Ye Fu refine the salt ore with peace of mind.

Jiang Run smiled and said, "Yes."

Find a huge iron pot, add water to the iron pot, dissolve the mineral salt in the water, heat it over fire until the salt solution boils, continue heating over high heat, stop heating when a large number of white crystals appear in the container, and use a shovel to remove the salt

Scrape it off the container and dissolve it in clean water.

"Ye Fu, can you designate your own year-end bonus?"

In the space, other people were ready. Even Xuxu and An An were standing beside them wearing masks and gowns to help.

There are many methods for refining salt ore, but now they do not have the machinery and equipment to refine salt ore, so they can only use the most primitive method.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"knew."

They will be able to pick cotton and harvest medicinal materials in more than a month, and they will probably be busy to death.

Except that the sun rises at 7:30 in the morning on the first day, starting from the next day, the sun rises on time at 6 in the morning and sets at 9 in the evening. The days are long and the nights are short, so the base can only allow workers working outdoors to

Adjust your schedule, rest during the day and work hard at night.

Ye Fu seemed to have been given a shot of chicken blood. Although the dark circles under her eyes were heavy, she did her work well. There was too much work in the space, and the salt mine must be refined as soon as possible. Time cannot be lost, otherwise in a month or two, the cotton The harvest will be postponed.

The salt mines in space are rich in minerals. They have not been polluted, so they have few impurities and high purity. It is not difficult to refine them.

After Shen Li left, Ye Fu took Jiang Run's hand and said, "I'll go there with you tonight. The two of us will collect it together, and it will be faster."

At 8:30 in the evening, everyone left the space and returned to the dormitory to wash up and rest.

He is not a robot, so how can he not feel tired?

An An pushed a tricycle with a cart full of salt ore on it. Xuxu followed him holding a small piece of salt ore and asked them to rest for a while. The two were still unwilling. These two children were not active in learning. Work more actively than anyone else.

Although it is daytime in the planting area, the temperature is not very high. Even if a fire is used to refine the salt ore, no one will feel stuffy.

Jiang Run looked at the dark circles under Ye Fu's eyes over the past two days and rubbed her hair distressedly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home. You should come back early."

In the past, Jiang Run would only go out to collect goods for two or three hours. If he stayed overnight, he would have to collect hundreds or even thousands of tons of stuff.

Wenwen was so strong that she could easily handle the large tricycle that Officer Song could not push with one hand. Wan Tao and Liu Zhang were responsible for the final filtration process. Others were moving the ore. Ye Fu, Jiang Run and Tang Yizheng were responsible for dissolving and holding it. process.

At 6:30 in the afternoon, Officer Song took Xuxu and An An to the wooden house to cook. The others continued to work. Jiang Run was forced to take a rest in the wooden house by Ye Fu. He had to work overtime in the evening and could still get some sleep at this time. Refresh your mind and body.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Cheng asked me to tell you that there are a lot of supplies to be collected tonight, and it may take all night."

The second step is to pour the salt solution into a container with activated carbon, seal the top and bottom of the activated carbon with clean cotton gauze, filter the salt solution, and then heat it to produce the salt.

Qi Yuan said that working from nine to five now is no different from clocking in to work. The only difference is that now everyone is very active and willing to go to work.

A week after the sun came out, Shen Li went back to the underground city. After hearing what he said about the situation in the hospital, Ye Fu gave him ten jars of ointment prepared by himself. This ointment can treat various burns, scalds, and sun poison burns. It should also be useful. Shen Li is running around outside every day, so he should be able to use it.

As long as he persists, Ye Fu will not refute his good intentions.

Ye Fu promised everyone that he would give everyone a year-end bonus during the Chinese New Year.

We have built an open space the size of a football field outside the planting area, which is specially used for flour grinding, rice shelling and other tasks. Now it can also be used for refining salt ore.

Jiang Run has been busy again recently. He has to go out to collect supplies at night and go into space to help Ye Fu refine salt ore during the day.

Qi Yuan coughed, "I want a camera. I have to take photos and record videos for everyone every day. The storage on my phone and tablet is full."

Ye waved his arm and said, "Okay, I'll satisfy you."

When I was searching for supplies in the past, I didn't know how many technological products I collected. Anyway, they were just gathering dust in the space, so I might as well give them to Qi Yuan.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Run left the underground city on time and went to the base warehouse to collect supplies.

Everyone else had gone back to their rooms to rest, and his busy day had just begun.
