In the next time, Zhu Xianhai had no time to achieve the small goal of climbing over the wall to feel the fragrance of the body.

The moon is really desirable.

But the premise of making an appointment is to spend money.

For time travelers, making money is more important.

In November, Buffett, who was in Europe, sent several telegrams. In addition to reporting on the effects of opening up the market in Europe, he also urged the delivery here. At the same time, he also sent a large amount of raw materials from Europe - Turkish opiates, Coptis chinensis, etc. These raw materials were purchased from the UK. In order to purchase cheaper opiates, he even went directly to Turkey. It has to be said that Buffett is an extremely competent partner.

These raw materials were sent to Buenos Aires along with the immigrant ships from Europe. Of course, Zhu Xianhai did not need to go to Martou to pick up the goods. At this time, Leonardo's role was shown. He directed the coolie at the dock to carry these things on his shoulders and carry them onto the carriage.

Before the raw materials were put into storage, he had to bring several apprentices to unbox and unpack and inspect the raw materials one by one.

"Are these opiates?"

Standing in front of the warehouse and picking up a piece of black ointment weighing one kilogram, Zhu Xianhai's mood seemed a little complicated.

Opiates!

This was the first time he had seen this thing.

“Yes, they are all top-notch Turkish opiates.”

Leonardo said.

"We just tested it briefly and its morphine content will not be less than 15%,"

Turkish opiates!

It is definitely a famous brand of opiates, because the morphine content is high, and merchants from all over the world, including the UK, are welcomed by merchants from all over the world. In this era, while selling poor-quality Indian opiates to China, the British imported opiates from Türkiye to extract morphine for pharmaceutical use.

Of course, this is inconsistent with "realizing relaxation". Now it has been fully launched in the UK. Not only many factories have taken the initiative to buy this drug, but many doctors have published articles in medical magazines praising this perfect magical drug, calling it a good medicine for "restoring youth". So many rich people have bought it one after another, and it has indescribable "side effects".

Correspondingly, the production of that small pharmacy could no longer meet the demand. Therefore, Zhu Xianhai decided to reopen a pharmaceutical factory to produce patented drugs from Liqing, aspirin and berberine hydrochloride series, turning the pharmacy into a pharmaceutical company.

Besides these?

Well, extracting a variety of drugs from opioids and making painkillers and anesthetics is also a good choice. After all, war will break out next year, and the war's demand for these drugs is definitely an extremely huge market.

Of course, we are making drugs, and the drugs we make are used to cure diseases and save people. If they abuse them, that is their business.

"Has the telegram been sent?"

Putting down the opium, Zhu Xianhai asked.

"It has been sent out, and there will be a reply there soon. However, sir, I think the equipment made in the UK may not meet your needs. After all, the alkaloids you make are very purified, while the British made are simply a pile of garbage,"

Leonardo curled his lips, his tone full of contempt.

British goods are indeed garbage, the color is like coffee, and the impurities are too high.

"That's a problem with technology. As for equipment, those equipment are equipment for industrial production. Haven't you read the Buffett telegram? Special equipment in Britain can produce 100 pounds of alkaloids at a time, while our equipment is only a few pounds at a time. Only advanced equipment can ensure that our products are continuously supplied to the whole world."

Industry is power!

This is true in any industry!

Factory-based and large-scale production are the difference between pharmaceutical companies and workshops.

"By the way, has the Chilean saltpeter I want arrived?"

"It's already here, sir, right here..."

Leonardo flipped through the record sheet and said.

"Lyon, go and bring box 135 here."

After the heavy box was moved, Leonardo was puzzled.

"Sir, are you asking for these saltpeters to make fertilizer?"

Then he said to himself.

"We don't need saltpeter as fertilizer at all."

This is also why Zhu Xianhai is buying Chilean saltpeter from the UK - Argentina does not need saltpeter fertilizer at all.

“I use it for another experiment.”

Zhu Xianhai smiled.

Chilean saltpeter, in fact, is sodium saltpeter. Its largest production area is not Chile, but Antofagasta Province in Bolivia and Tarapaca Province in Peru. These two areas are called "North Grande", and their main product is saltpeter.

More than 100,000 tons of saltpeter are shipped to Europe every year through Chile's ports, which is why it is called "Chile saltpeter". Europe's demand for saltpeter is also increasing. More than a decade later, it was Europe's demand and huge saltpeter wealth that induced the famous "hopox war".

Europe imports more than 100,000 tons of Chilean saltpeter every year, not because of war, but as fertilizer. In order to increase agricultural output, this is the only use of sodium saltpeter. Sodium saltpeter cannot be used in pharmaceutical gunpowder, which naturally limits its price and application.

Potassium nitrate is used to make gunpowder. Currently, India and Bangladesh have the largest and most important saltpeter mine in the world, and this mining area is firmly controlled by the British. France, Germany, and even the United States have to pay for it or they can only issue license orders like the French, and go to the toilet to find ways to purify saltpeter.

At present, Zhu Xianhai bought Chilean saltpeter in order to use it to make gunpowder and break the British monopoly.

"It's just a simple reaction. It's written in the Tiangong Kaiyu hundreds of years ago..."

In the laboratory, Zhu Xianhai was conducting the experiment and murmured to himself.

"It may be that DuPont is getting inspiration from the creation of natural things."

He is also gaining experience from DuPont for this experiment.

After the Civil War broke out, the United States, which split into the north and south, was dizzy by the "saltpeter waste". After the outbreak of the war, the remaining Indian saltpeter in the Northern Army could only make up at most six months of gunpowder, and Britain embargoed Indian saltpeter on the United States.

what to do?

So, the founder of DuPont Group focused on Chilean saltpeter. Unlike Indian saltpeter, the main component of Chilean saltpeter is calcium nitrate. DuPont obtained enough potassium nitrate through a simple exchange reaction. It was DuPont that made gunpowder raw materials through exchange reactions that monopolized the supply of gunpowder in the United States, thus achieving the rise of DuPont.

At present, what Zhu Xianhai has to do is just copying DuPont's path.

"Using wood ash, that is, potassium carbonate as the raw material for binding calcium ions and providing potassium ions, is the "exchange reaction"..."

Soon, a few pounds of white potassium nitrate were freshly released. Staring at these potassium nitrates, Zhu Xianhai said proudly.

"Okay, everything is ready now. I just need the east wind. Just wait for the Americans to fight and we can refuel the arms on both ends!"

Pain-relieving drugs and anesthetics are all used to save people, gunpowder and explosives are used to kill people. When they are combined together, they are simply a match made by the Jade Emperor. If you don’t earn millions of dollars, you’re really sorry for this perfect match…
