Chapter 746: Jin Ke La, Jin Ke La, one bag can hold two bags!
Sweat soaked through the back of my clothes, and mud covered my trouser legs.
Pastor Matthew raised his palm from the ground, faced the green field in front of him, and sighed in annoyance.
He is cooperating with the parliament to conduct planting experiments. Plant a wave of vetch on the field to quickly promote growth, and then plow it into the soil. This has always been an effective method for farmers to fertilize their fields.
Of course, there is absolutely no rush to let milkvetch stay in the field for a winter and plant other crops next year. Pastor Matthew needs to use magic to speed up the rotting and fermentation of grass leaves, and then measure the soil fertility before planting again.
crop.
But the magic obviously cannot cover all the grass roots and seeds. Among the wheat seedlings spawned by the spell, milkvetch grows lushly, brazenly competing with the wheat seedlings for nutrients.
Looking around, the brothers of the cult who were experimenting with alfalfa or soybeans also had the same problem...
Moreover, the Holy Power of the Priest of the God of Nature is not unlimited. In fact, it is quite limited. Now, it seems that using it to fertilize the grass will cause more losses than benefits.
"What should I do if the holy power is not enough?"
In the shed on the other side, Elder Wood wiped the sweat from his white beard and asked the Archmage accompanying him.
The Order of the God of Nature cooperated with the Council and conducted experiments during this period. The conclusion is that with a sufficient supply of spiritual potions and enough believers around to participate in prayer, it is probably... it seems... possible...
The amount of food produced is less than half of the required amount...
Holy power is a flaw.
"Someone has already tried to find a solution." The Archmage comforted in a low voice. He vaguely heard that it was the Lord of Thunder and several other legendary mages who were trying to "find a solution," but he did not dare to say. What if it wasn't the case?
Even if the news is really accurate, who can chew the tongue of the legendary mage? He is not a legendary disciple, and even if he is a legendary disciple, he may not be favored by everyone!
He could only vaguely reveal some information:
"The results will probably be available in a month or two. Come on, let's do another set of experiments..."
Even if the shortcomings of Shengli are made up, the fertilizer in the fields is still indispensable. Therefore, when Aurora took the plan and paper given by Gretel and handed them to the teacher, she said that this technical route could be tried.
when……
Archmage Carlisle is ecstatic!
What, there will be ammonia in the biogas digester?
Is there also ammonia in feces and urine?
Is it that kind of particularly pungent gas that can be dissolved in water and can be used to water fields after being dissolved in water?
Does it contain nitrogen?
Nitrogen and water can be obtained by burning in pure oxygen. Does it prove that it contains hydrogen and nitrogen?
So if we turn it upside down, when nitrogen and hydrogen react under high temperature and high pressure, ammonia will also be produced?
Very good!
With this technical route, we can try it!
Hydrogen? As long as there is water, you can get as much as you want! Nitrogen, as long as there is air, you can get as much as you want!
"Wait a minute, let's rub our hands together... high temperature and high pressure, right? Pure hydrogen, pure nitrogen, right?"
All the high-level direct disciples of the Lord of Thunder have gone on missions. The 14th-level Archmage Carlisle is the highest-level disciple among the disciples who stayed in Nevis.
Naturally, he started to shake people, gathered all his disciples, and rushed into the Tower of Babel:
"High temperature and high pressure, right? How many degrees is needed, Grete didn't say? He didn't say how much pressure?"
"No..." Aurora answered with a guilty conscience. He watched Gretel pour ammonia for a while, then added the ammonia to water and poured it on a flower pot. He pressed the soil of the flower pot with both hands and concentrated on casting the spell...
"Well, no problem, ammonia does have an effect on promoting plant growth. Well, I'll do it again, Oro, you can help me determine the soil composition."
Aurora cried and went to do the ingredient determination. Why, why, the most troublesome things are always left to me. Is this the boss's prerogative?
For a paper like this, I can only say that the part about "ammonia is indeed useful" has some basis. As for what kind of high temperature and high pressure is required to synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen...
Gretel only said "it probably requires high temperature and high pressure," but did not specify how high the temperature or pressure would be. With the conditions of Gretel's mage tower, experiments under too high pressure could not be carried out.
"It's okay, I'll try! You, you, you, you," Archmage Carlisle called the names of several disciples in one breath:
"Don't be stunned, start using your hands! Adjust the magic circle, build a protective force field, and pump out the gas! Experiment in groups and test different temperatures and pressures for each person!"
"Heating to 500 degrees Celsius, 20 atmospheric pressure, the first combustion test begins!"
"500 degrees Celsius, 30 atmospheric pressure, second combustion test..."
The result of the extreme accumulation of manpower was that on the day when the evocation mages were summoned and put into the second phase of the test, Archmage Carlisle submitted a report.
There is a plan to artificially synthesize ammonia! Irrigating the ground with ammonia water can replace nitrogen fertilizer and promote plant growth!
In front of the carriage that was gathering to go to the fields, the cheers of the magicians rang out.
Finally I can stop going to the fields!
Finally, I can stop squatting in the fields and throwing lightning bolts every day!
You still have to work, but it's better to squat in a laboratory or even in a factory, maximizing the output of magic power and sorting out the flow of magic power, which is better than working in the fields!
As for how to push ammonia synthesis in the laboratory to large-scale synthesis?
How to increase production to meet the needs of fields across the country?
How to reduce costs as much as possible so that ordinary farmers can use them in the farming process?
These need to be explored further. However, as long as the parliament piles up manpower, a large number of problems can be solved in the short term!
"Everyone, let's move together!" The report was sent to the review meeting. After it was verified, several reviewers made a decision together. At this time, it is better to have more technical routes and more ways to explore!
"Group people into groups! Conjuration system, Evocation system, Protection system, Change system, Prophecy system, each group has one Archmage above level 10!"
"The Conjuration Department is responsible for the magic circle, the Protection Department is responsible for building the force field, the Evocation Department outputs magic power, and the Change Department controls the reaction process! The Prophecy Department is next to it and is responsible for recording statistics and sensing the dangers of experiments at any time!"
"Both the transformation system and the necromancer system will send out a group of people! Whether it is using puppets or skeletons, in short, get close to the scene and let inanimate things do the dangerous work of adding materials! Magicians should not approach in person!
"
"By the way, bring over a bunch of medical mages! Go to the God of War Temple next door to hire people! For such a large-scale experiment, the healing power must keep up!"
Of course, if a prophecy magician can predict the success rate of the experiment and provide guidance on modification methods, the council will also welcome it. But it is not mandatory. The precious prophecy power must be used on the edge!
Alchemists of the transformation system know very well how many modifications are needed to make a new substance. And the road from laboratory preparation to mass production is also full of all kinds of shattering, fire and light.
explode.
"boom!"
"boom!"
...Look, there was another explosion. From a distance, a certain archmage yelled angrily:
"I told you to seal it well! Seal it well! Don't you know that hydrogen will explode when it meets oxygen?!"
Amidst all the stumblings, explosions, roars and quarrels, the council's research and development work on nitrogen fertilizers was racing forward like a train about to derail.
Several times he was about to have an accident or had an accident, but he was saved by powerful magicians using various protective magics.
The fragments were blocked, the air waves from the explosion were blown into the air, and the strange gas was blown away by strong winds...
Of course, there are also those who have extremely wet hands and are so unlucky that even the prophecy mage failed to warn them, and even the skeletons and alchemical golems were in front of them, and they were swept away by the accident. Fortunately, there are medical mages and priests again, most of them
People can still be saved.
After a lot of extreme operations and unlimited manpower, the parliament actually took this path. Coke was burned with coal, and water vapor was blown into the coke to burn it. After a lot of operations, in short, a large amount of ammonia was produced.
.
On the other side, the great magician with the transformation system worked hard to introduce ammonia gas into the water, and tried various methods. In short, he finally came up with a solid nitrogen fertilizer...
On the day when the experiment was declared successful, cheers came from the top of Igor Peak to the experimental site and then to the experimental field in the mountainous area behind Igor Peak. There is nitrogen fertilizer! There is nitrogen fertilizer! As long as there is enough coal and coke
, there is enough nitrogen fertilizer!
The magicians of the plasticity department threw their high-top, low-top, wide-brimmed, narrow-brimmed, soft-top, and hard flat-top hats into the sky one after another, shouting very loudly:
"Finally freed!"
“Finally I don’t have to chop dirt every day!”
"I can finally go back to the laboratory to do research, and I don't have to stay on the edge of the field anymore!"
The magicians of the Department of Change quietly slipped away and hid their names. In addition to making solid nitrogen fertilizer, some people had an idea and applied for an experiment:
Mix the newly made solid nitrogen fertilizer with struvite and carnallite products according to the proportion. Take it to the field and conduct a growth-stimulating experiment for the priests of the God of Nature:
Mix according to the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium measured in the soil;
Mix according to the proportion measured in the manure;
Mix and spread directly into the field;
After mixing, mix it evenly with the manure, and then spread it on the field;
According to the induction of the priest of the God of Nature, at different stages of root growth, leaf growth, and fruiting, they are mixed in different proportions and then spread into the fields...
"The effect was unexpectedly good!" Pastor Matthew, who finally got a short break and was able to visit Grete in the city, described to him happily:
"One part artificial fertilizer and one part compost, mix them evenly and spread them on the field. The effect is more than twice that of compost!"
"As long as carnalite and struvite keep up, at least we won't have to worry about fertilizer during this great famine!"
Gretel: "..."
So it’s really Jin Kao Lag, Jin Kao Lag, can one bag carry two bags?
