Chapter five hundred and fortieth fertilizer is not to say there is
Yang Mingzhi said with a slight smile on his face: "Of course I know you can, we can't wait any longer, let's just start now."
Did you start taking action just after arriving at Catfish Village? Fuming patted him on the shoulder: "Comrade, you are too impatient. Rome was not built in a day, and the fertilizer plant was not built in an instant just by talking about it. You should still relax.
."
"But time waits for no one! The current food reserves are not satisfactory, and most of the resources have been allocated to the army. Ordinary villagers are living a miserable life, and we ask them to work hard! Only food can make up for them! Only chemical fertilizers can increase food production.
." Yang Mingzhi stood up angrily, his shoulders seemed to bear a huge responsibility.
These words did not make Ivanov's blood boil. He said: "Sir, I'd better rest for an afternoon and prepare the plan. I will also go back and make preparations. If possible, I am willing to talk to you all night long."
Fuming hurriedly agreed: "What he said makes sense. I can understand your anxiety. No matter how anxious you are, it doesn't matter how many hours it takes! I've prepared hot water. If the deputy division commander is willing, you can take a good bath."
As soon as he heard the word "bath", Yang Mingzhi immediately softened his heart and his expression became gentler.
Since the end of the battle, most soldiers just wiped their bodies with towels as a kind of cleansing. Because the water was too cold, the soldiers did not dare to jump directly into the pond to take a bath. Taking a bath was almost a patent for officers. As a busy man, Yang Mingzhi
There is simply no time to enjoy this.
At that time, the division headquarters was still in Catfish Village, and the population was not as large as it is now. Although life was more miserable than it is now, at least it was possible to enjoy the hardships. It was really enjoyable to soak the whole body in a huge wooden barrel.
"Okay, I accept your suggestion, but I have to bring my wife with me. We men can be sloppy, but women can't."
Fu Ming burst into laughter with an "I understand" look on his face, and the office was filled with men laughing like a nuclear leak.
Fomin envied this officer, not only because he had his own woman to accompany him in this dangerous environment, but also because he could be with his family. Many soldiers had long been separated from their families, and most of them were Belarusians. Given the current atrocities committed by the German army,
, they had to make them believe that their family members had been massacred by the enemy.
It is also a blessing for soldiers to be able to fight and live with their wives in the battlefield. However, the death caused by cruel war, if the person you love most is sacrificed in front of you, I am afraid it will be a dark shadow that cannot be erased in your life.
Fu Ming and Yang Mingzhi also thought that although war is cruel, it is also extremely important to seize the time to enjoy peace during the limited intermission period between wars.
So when Yang Mingzhi told Yang Tao that there was a place to take a bath, the girl was delighted.
The first thing she thought of was not that she could have close contact with her husband, but that she had found the opportunity to completely remove all dead skin in one breath.
The room where they will stay tonight has been tidied up. After grabbing the necessary items, the two of them followed the guards hand in hand to the steamy place.
…
Yang Mingzhi, who felt comfortable in the bath, felt that all the muscles and bones in his body were paralyzed. Looking at his wife's condition, it seemed that she was too comfortable and had dozed off.
"Forget it, Fu Ming is right. There are some things that you don't need to be so anxious about. Even being anxious is of no use." Yang Mingzhi was so cruel that he didn't care about it. The two of them got dressed and went directly to the dormitory to have a good sleep first.
On the other hand, Ivanov took advantage of the short time in the afternoon to quickly think about building a fertilizer plant.
He sat in a small office in the laboratory and ordered everyone not to disturb his thinking.
Throughout the afternoon, various dangerous compounds were still being prepared in the laboratory. Bottles and jars of various shapes were piled up. The wooden walls also had more colorful substances. There was an indescribable smell in the air.
People in stained white coats are working hard. This place is not as clean and tidy as a chemistry laboratory should be.
If we go by normal standards, this place is simply a powder keg that could explode at any time! Indeed! They manufacture dangerous explosives, from the weakest ancient black powder to the extremely dangerous hydrazine nitrate.
Ivanov had done his best to ensure safe production, but he could die at any time in the deep battlefield. Therefore, what he said most about the "thriving" scene of preparing various dangerous goods outside the door was to ask his own people to increase production.
Now, his mind is completely occupied by how to synthesize ammonia on a large scale.
During the Tsarist Russia era, it was impossible for farmers to use chemical fertilizers when farming. Like most ethnic groups, they deliberately collected feces. Coupled with the environmental restrictions at high latitudes, it was difficult to increase grain yield per acre.
When Stalin came to power, in order to quickly industrialize an agricultural country, the interests of farmers were sacrificed, which led to the Great Famine in Ukraine.
The consequences of the famine were not only that a huge number of people starved to death, but these were just tiny numbers on Stalin's desk. When industrialization became successful, various machinery factories and chemical plants were established, which began to create blood for Soviet industry.
However, the trauma to the people also caused a large number of Ukrainians to side with Germany after the fall of Ukraine, making the Soviet army have to face a group of puppet troops again.
Most of these large-scale fertilizer plants were built in Ukraine because it was the granary of the Soviet Union. With the loss of the country, these fertilizer plants and a series of chemical plants were occupied by Germany.
As for how to produce fertilizer, the method is not difficult. Ivanov produced it entirely in the laboratory.
As the most basic material for producing ammonia, according to national conditions, the Soviet Union used coke. Under the current bad environment, Ivanov used charcoal, which has a lower hydrogen content and cannot produce large amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which has a negative impact on production efficiency.
It has a great impact. Fortunately, Belarus is very rich in wood resources. It is not difficult to process it into charcoal. You just need to obtain sufficient ammonia and increase fuel input.
Through a not too complicated chemical reaction, the hydrogen and carbon from the charcoal are finally combined with the nitrogen in the air to form ammonia, which can then produce urea and can be combined with nitric acid to produce multifunctional ammonium nitrate.
"Well, it's not easy to make 500 grams of ammonium nitrate in one go. I used all the strength of the laboratory. Does Belekov really think that I have such great talent that I can mass-produce fertilizer for him? I don't have the expertise.
There are no workers, no large equipment, and no enough fuel, all of this is out of the question!”
After thinking for a long time, Ivanov had nowhere to vent his frustration and deserved to curse. He dared not say these words in front of that person. He did not know the demand for fertilizers from farmers and arsenals if the factory was built and put into production again.
How big is it.
Under the premise of energy conservation, when ammonium nitrate produces a large amount of explosives, it must be at the expense of the disappearance of large areas of forest. The ammonium nitrate explosives consumed in a battle may be the complete disappearance of a hectare of towering trees.
In the military, Ivanov fully recognized that the deputy division commander Berekov had extremely high talents. In terms of knowledge, he was also an incredible high-level intellectual. Picric acid, hydrazine nitrate, and other high-energy compounds have been created, but only
Ivanov is not optimistic about the establishment of a fertilizer plant.
Even if the fertilizer plant is finally built, the thick black smoke will simply tell the enemy's reconnaissance planes that I am here. Moreover, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the final output of fertilizer will not be much. If you have the time, it is better to continue to seize the enemy's ammunition.
Fight, or reclaim more land to plant potatoes extensively.
The commander's orders are orders. He will come in the evening after he has rested.
Ivanov thought about it carefully and made up his mind: "After he comes, I must explain to him the pros and cons of this matter. If he insists on building a factory, then he has no choice but to start construction!" 8
