Of course, if you have any chemistry questions, you should contact Chen Shuangjin.
This madman who dared to light a fire in the mercury fulminate factory has now become an authority in the field of chemistry in Shandong academic circles.
Zuo Mengeng hasn't seen him for a long time.
When we met again, Chen Shuangjin had completely changed his appearance.
Her long, lush and messy hair was curly at the roots, making her look like a British Lord Chancellor.
Although the clothes on her body are all new, they are sloppy. They are stained with various unknown colors, and no one knows what they are.
There are various wounds on his face, hands, and all exposed skin.
"I made it during an experiment. Some things actually exploded when mixed together. It was so fun."
Zuo Mengeng's head was filled with dark thoughts. For some reason, the figure of the chemistry professor in Stephen Chow's movie flashed in his mind.
"Be careful no matter what. If something happens to you, it will be a huge loss."
Even if Chen Shuangjin heard about it, he obviously didn't take it seriously.
For him, discovering new things and new phenomena is obviously more important than anything else.
As for his own life, apart from eating, he can only use it for experiments.
Chen Shuangjin is no longer alone. He is surrounded by a team of three hundred people.
His current identity is still a professor of chemistry at National Central University.
If it weren't for his lack of administrative skills, the entire chemistry department would be dominated by him.
When they heard about the problems encountered by the steel plant, Chen's parents immediately led the team to work without saying a word.
A month later, the answer was in front of everyone.
"The gas produced by different coals contains different components. These components will react with steel during smelting and affect the quality of steel."
Fang Daheng asked quickly: "Do you know what it is?"
Chen Shuangjin nodded and shook his head.
"After our detection, the ingredients inside should be phosphorus. There is also something that seems to be similar to sulfur, but different. It will take some time to find out clearly."
After hearing what he said, Zuo Mengeng understood.
The two most essential elements in the steel smelting process are phosphorus and sulfur.
These two elements are the main reasons why steel is not strong enough.
The artillery made in China in this era is very easy to explode, which is also caused by this reason.
In addition to iron ore containing phosphorus and sulfur, the coal used for smelting also contains these two elements.
But he didn't remind Chen Shuangjin.
Now that Chen Shuangjin has realized the existence of sulfur, given him a certain amount of time, he will definitely be able to discover this element.
People in the steel plant don't care about specific chemical issues.
Yu Wentai went straight to the point and got straight to the point.
“Which type of coal produces the best gas?”
This best standard is based on iron and steel making.
On this basis, Chen Shuangjin gave the answer.
He pointed to a pile of scattered coal.
"This is the best."
When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
"This...isn't this just peat?"
What is peat?
It is crushed coal exposed in the open air and mixed with soil and sand.
From the perspective of the coal mining industry, this kind of coal is the worst and is basically treated as waste.
Because this kind of coal contains too many impurities and is not conducive to combustion, it is thrown away.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Shuangjin's testing, it was found that the gas produced by this coal was the most beneficial to steel smelting.
"Although there is still dirt and dust in this coal, these things will not react with the coal at high temperatures, so there will be no excess elements in the coal. The gas produced in this way is actually purer.
As for other coals, they contain too many things and are not good."
Fang Daheng was extremely depressed.
"Hurry up and tell everyone that the peat excavated must be carefully preserved and don't dare to waste it again."
But no matter what, with the help of Chen Shuangjin, the gas problem was solved, which is great news for the steel plant.
Through this incident, the importance of chemistry began to be known to people.
Chen Shuangjin did not feel that he had done anything extraordinary. He still had many experiments to complete.
After helping him, he wanted to go back, but was stopped by Zuo Mengeng.
"I still have to do experiments."
Others would feel honored and excited when being received by Zuo Mengeng, but he was an exception.
In his eyes, Zuo Menggeng was not as cute as the bottles and jars in the laboratory.
"It's just a moment, I won't waste your time."
Zuo Menggeng was as tolerant as he could be when it came to talents, and he was willing to hold an umbrella for Chen Shuangjin.
"What good stuff have you discovered recently?"
When asked about his major, Chen Shuangjin suddenly became proud.
He took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was densely written with words.
"Look, this is my result."
Zuo Mengeng took a look and said, oh, good guy, Chen Shuangjin’s achievements are really amazing.
After careful calculation, he has discovered more than ten kinds of elements.
Sodium and magnesium hydroxide, nickel, copper, zinc, carbon, potassium, calcium, arsenic and silicon, almost all chemical elements related to Shandong industry have been summarized by him.
However, Chen Shuangjin's mark is still in the traditional Chinese way.
And the Chinese names of these elements are not professional enough.
Zuo Mengeng thought for a while, picked up the pen and made corrections for him personally.
When he saw that Zuo Mengeng added the word "gold" to the left of the word "beggar", Chen Shuangjin was puzzled by its meaning.
"Why is this?"
"These are the most basic elements of matter that you discovered. They are brand new things. The word 'beggar' you used is not accurate."
Chen Shuangjin thought for a while and then nodded.
"You are right. If I find something new in the future, I can mark it like this."
Although the conversation between the two was simple, it meant that Chen Shuangjin's chemical path began to return to the same path as that of later generations.
Although the chemistry major is a discipline established entirely under the leadership of the West, now that the East is leading the way, it seems that it can be redefined. But in Zuo Mengeng's view, this is not necessary at all.
After all, the chemistry major has become very mature in later generations, with a complete system and rigorous logic.
Nowadays, there are not many chemical talents in Shandong. If you put all your energy into creating your own systems and definitions, it will undoubtedly be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will delay progress.
He is a soldier and advocates pragmatism above all else.
Just use whatever works well. There are ready-made chemical systems for reference, so why bother taking detours?
Seeing these elements discovered by Chen Shuangjin, Zuo Mengeng's heart surged.
He knew that as long as Chen Shuangjin's research continued, his name would definitely remain in the history of the Qing Dynasty, admired by the world, and hated by science students.
It's a pity that Zuo Menggeng is a master of chemistry, and he knows some things related to the military field. But in other aspects, he is no better than a science student.
Fortunately, as a cheater, he still has an advantage.
"There should be some kind of pattern among these elements. If it can be discovered and summarized, it can be put to good use, and perhaps something brand new can be created."
Zuo Mengeng raised his hand and wrote the formula under the known elements.
Beside him, Chen Shuangjin looked at these formulas, chewing on what he said over and over in his mind, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
