Chapter 1350 Lu Family's Action
Guanshishan Academy Chemical College was not the original college, but it has a bit of a latecomer.
Now, except for the Gewu Academy, which can firmly suppress the Chemistry Academy, no other academies dare to say that they are better than Chemistry Academy.
Even old colleges such as medical schools and computing schools are not as popular as chemical schools.
There is no way, who can let the School of Chemical Engineering come up with something new every now and then?
Although many things are useful, no one knows.
Many things are even in contact with us, but the Chemistry Academy has figured out their situation and determined their names and chemical symbols for them.
As the most authoritative student in the field of chemistry in Datang, the students from Guanshishan Academy of Chemical Engineering are naturally of various sources.
In addition to the craftsmen in various workshops, some noble children and poor children also entered the Chemistry Academy to study.
Relatively speaking, the School of Chemistry has a very high similarity with the Taoist priests in the past, and it is much easier for everyone to accept it.
I even think that this industry is a bit cool.
Lu Yuan is a graduate student from the School of Chemistry and is considered a representative figure of Fan Yang's Lu family in this field.
Lu Xuan asked Lu Ansheng to set up a zinc smelting workshop to study the zinc situation, so they naturally had to find Lu Yuan to help.
Otherwise, the craftsmen from the Lu family's copper smelting workshop would not know when they would be able to refine zinc ingots.
"Shopkeeper Lu, if you want to refine a brand new metal, unless we know his chemical reaction equation, it is very difficult to try it simply and may cost a lot of money."
With the five-member meeting in the middle, Lu Ansheng took the initiative to invite Lu Yuan to dinner, and the conversation was naturally about zinc smelting.
"It doesn't matter. It's very expensive to do research, and I don't know about this. But once we become the second company outside Guanshishan Academy and master the technology of zinc smelting, the benefits behind it will be great."
Lu Yuan was scared away without hearing about spending money.
In this world, where can you get good technology without spending a penny?
Even if Guanshishan Academy is willing to directly transfer zinc smelting technology, the price will definitely not be low.
This is a technique of turning stones into gold.
"Well, then I'll make a list. You can buy these potions from Guanshishan Academy first, and then transfer a group of nimble and literate craftsmen from the workshop to help me."
At Guanshishan Academy, Lu Yuan was not only looking for a few junior brothers to help him with his work, but it was difficult for him to find a large amount of manpower to assist him in his work.
Now that the Lu family takes the initiative to find themselves to work, he naturally won’t miss this opportunity.
"No problem, you told me if you want someone to ask for money. But we hope that the progress will be as fast as possible, otherwise you will be depressed if you are snatched away by others."
Lu Ansheng is not afraid of spending money, but is afraid that spending money will not achieve results.
Of course, he did not directly force Lu Yuan to promise that he would develop such a technology within any time.
If you have the successful experience of Guanshishan Academy, you will be able to study it sooner or later.
"I try my best! The discovery of a new metal is often full of accidents. Maybe we have found a way to refine zinc this month, and maybe we will not find it until next year."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything to death either.
...
"Master, I heard that the Lu family in Fanyang specially set up a chemistry research institute outside the city. Not only did they buy a large number of chemical agents from our academy, but they also called Lu Yuan, who is quite talented in the chemistry school, to preside over the work."
It is impossible for the Lu family to do chemical research without allowing Guanshishan Academy to provide guidance.
Special chemical agents such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, carbonic acid, nitric acid, caustic soda, etc., you can't buy them anywhere else except Guanshishan Academy.
Once someone buys these chemical agents in large quantities, Guanshishan Academy naturally needs to understand the purpose.
So Lu Zhaolin soon knew the movement.
At this time, he naturally would not think that he didn't know anything just because the other party was the Lu family in Fanyang.
The first thing he considered was the interests of Guanshishan Academy.
"The development of chemistry must not be based on our Guanshishan Academy fighting alone. This time, the Lu family should have been stimulated by the zinc ingots and galvanized steel pipes. They are willing to set up the Chemistry Research Institute, so let's set it up."
Li Kuan is absolutely supportive of various academies and noble families who devote themselves to chemistry, physics and other fields.
There are so many elements in the periodic table that have not been discovered yet, so you can't count on watching Shishan Academy.
Many times, the discovery of a new element is really full of accidents.
As more people do related experiments, more accidents will become more common.
"That Lu Yuan, I heard that he was contacting students from many chemical colleges and wanted to attract them to the Lu family's Chemistry Institute, which may lead to the leakage of our zinc smelting technology."
"The technology of smelting metals is not a secret in itself. If you want to continue publishing related papers, with the relevant chemical equations, everyone will sooner or later find a method for smelting.
But laboratory smelting and industrial production are two different concepts.
Many people may be able to make all kinds of things from the laboratory, but it is not that easy to achieve large-scale and low-cost industrial production."
Li Kuan does not expect zinc smelting technology to be kept confidential.
Just like the technology of smelting iron, copper and alchemy, the scope of transmission is actually very wide, and many people know some principles.
But if you really need to commercialize these things on a large scale, there are only a few companies with good technology.
"Then... then let's ignore Lu Yuan's actions for now?"
"Well, don't worry about that much. What chemicals they want to buy from the academy, as long as they pay normally."
With Li Kuan's words, Lu Zhaolin was relieved.
If the Lu family in Fanyang suddenly mastered the zinc smelting technology in the future, he would not have to worry about being suspected of leaking the secret.
After all, his identity as the birth of the Lu family in Fanyang is still relatively sensitive in Guanshishan Academy.
"Master, according to what you show in the periodic table of elements, I suspect that the various copper ores, gold ores, tin ores and lead ores now contain a lot of other metals, but they are not that easy to find.
The next research focus of my disciple is to focus on the research on these minerals to see if we can find out a few new metals.”
After talking about the Lu family, Lu Zhaolin communicated with Li Kuan about the next research direction.
The discovery of zinc gave Lu Zhaolin confidence in chemistry research.
Thousands of years later, as long as you mention this metal, you will know that this was discovered by Lu Zhaolin. Thinking about that scene, it is worth looking forward to.
"No problem, this direction is enough for you to study for a lifetime."
