The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 389 No matter the cost
Wei Guowei believed that with Li Mu's level, he would be of great use to him, whether he was a student at the College of Agriculture or an expert and professor at the Agricultural Research Institute.

Everyone can gain a lot after listening to the lecture.

"Don't be ridiculous. If we have this much time, we might as well let them come over and study with me." Li Mu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Without waiting for the latter to react, he walked into the laboratory first.

Wei Guowei thought about it and it seemed to be true, so he didn't mention it again.

……

When the two walked into the laboratory.

The issue of improved aqueous solution full circulation process is being discussed.

Over time.

More and more fertilizer experts and professors came from other places, and the Mechanical Research Institute also sent personnel to provide assistance.

The entire nitrogen fertilizer optimization and upgrading research team project group is now full of talents.

Li Mu took a quick glance and saw several old professors whom he had only seen in textbooks.

Of course, it’s the current book.

It can be said that there are very few big names who can enter the textbooks of future generations, and they are all busy with their own research at the moment.

Just like Mr. Yuan, he should have found hybrid rice and started cultivating it by now, and he would not leave the southwest easily.

Unless Li Mu publishes a paper on hybrid rice, he will not be able to attract them.

But this is obviously unrealistic.

So all he could do was wait.

There was a little noise in the room, Wei Guowei clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, be quiet."

But these few words obviously don't have much effect.

Until he said, "Consultant Li is here," everyone immediately quieted down and turned their heads in unison.

Some experts and professors have met Li Mu, while some have not.

But whether they have seen him or not does not affect the degree of their respect for him.

In the history of agricultural development in the Xia Kingdom, Li Mu's existence can be said to have played a significant role.

Not only do students admire him, but the entire agricultural community also highly respects him and regards him as a benchmark and role model.

They have been working in the fields for decades, day after day, just to ensure that the people have enough food to eat.

Li Mu was only in his twenties, but he had already achieved this goal. No one could have imagined what he would achieve in the future.

"Everyone just mind your own business. I'll just listen for a while, and then we'll continue the meeting." Li Mu saw everyone looking at him, smiled slightly, and said.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.

Finally, Wei Guowei said, "Advisor Li, why don't you hold a meeting first and discuss it while you're at it?"

He saw that after Li Mu came, those who had been arguing fiercely and everyone thought they were right had now come to their senses.

"Okay, then let's talk about the preparation process of ammonium bicarbonate first." Li Mu saw this and didn't mind, so he spoke.

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward.

But before he could reach out to take it, a young man quickly handed him the small blackboard.

Li Mu thanked him and then said:

"The current nitrogen fertilizer preparation process in our country mainly uses anthracite as raw material. Semi-water gas is first produced, and after removing hydrogen sulfide, it enters the pressurized conversion reaction equipment to obtain nitrogen and hydrogen..."

"This preparation method is also the most commonly used method in small nitrogen fertilizer plants."

"Of course, there are also compressed carbon dioxide method, carbonization method and lime kiln method, but these are not suitable for industrial mass production."

He first analyzed the current domestic ammonium bicarbonate preparation process.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment.

The experts and professors below hesitated for a while before someone raised his hand and asked:

"Consultant Li, how do you think we should optimize and upgrade the existing process?"

"Our current mechanical manufacturing level has greatly improved. I personally think that we can start with the equipment and develop better production equipment."

"With the help of the computer software you developed, this should not be a particularly difficult task."

Although the young expert's words may sound a bit exaggerated.

But no one thought it was wrong.

As long as the direction is correct, Xia Country does not lack the technology to produce the equipment.

"Updating equipment is a good idea, but it is not the original intention of us all gathering here to conduct research. What we want to do is to innovate in both equipment and technology at the same time." Li Mu said.

After saying that, he picked up the small blackboard and wrote "long-acting ammonium bicarbonate" and "ammonium bicarbonate dryer" on it.

Just seeing these two names.

The eyes of all the experts and professors present lit up involuntarily.

He quickly turned to a new page in the notes in his hand, waiting for Li Mu's next explanation with great anticipation.

Li Mu did not keep the secret any longer and said directly:
"First, let's talk about what long-acting ammonium bicarbonate is. Compared with ordinary ammonium bicarbonate, it has a higher nutrient content and a longer fertilizer effect."

"The principle of its preparation is to add a certain proportion of clay and other biological organic matter to ordinary ammonium bicarbonate, and then press it."

"Finally, a fertilizer-like granules is formed under high temperature..."

He explained in detail the principle of long-acting ammonium bicarbonate.

Of course, it is easier said than done.

This technology was invented by the Fengtian Institute of Applied Ecology in 90, and was put into use only in 94 after technical appraisal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Chemical Industry.

The difficulty of the research can be imagined. And the fact is just as Li Mu expected.

After he finished speaking, a professor immediately asked impatiently:

"Advisor Li, you said that long-acting ammonium bicarbonate was developed based on ordinary ammonium bicarbonate."

“So what kind of organic matter should we add to make it have a long-term fertilizer effect?”

"And this fertilizer that forms granules at high temperatures, why does it become granules?"

One person takes the lead.

Other experts and professors also raised their own questions.

Although long-acting ammonium bicarbonate is only two words different from ammonium bicarbonate, the effects are very different. It is naturally difficult for Li Mu to explain all aspects clearly in his brief explanation just now.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Today is still long, there is plenty of time to solve it.

Li Mu rolled up his sleeves, picked up the small blackboard and chalk, and said, "Let's talk about the issue of organic matter first. My opinion is to add ammonium carbonate stabilizer and nitrification inhibitor."

“The main function of the ammonium bicarbonate stabilizer is to reduce the ammonia volatilization loss in the ammonium bicarbonate, thereby extending the fertilizer effect period and improving the nitrogen utilization rate.”

"The role of nitrification inhibitors is to prevent the leaching loss of nitrate nitrogen and further improve nitrogen utilization. The nitrification inhibitors in long-acting ammonium bicarbonate can inhibit the activity of nitrifying bacteria in the soil, thereby reducing nitrate nitrogen..."

It took two hours.

After explaining the preparation principle of long-acting ammonium bicarbonate, Li Mu talked about the development ideas of the ammonium bicarbonate dryer.

The main function of this heating pen is to heat the ammonium bicarbonate reaction product and remove moisture to speed up production efficiency.

Depending on the drying process, it can also be an atmospheric intermittent dryer or a continuous dryer.

The former is suitable for scenarios such as small-batch production, frequent changes in material types, or difficult equipment operation, because the equipment has a simple structure and is relatively cheap.

The latter is suitable for mass production of the same material, with high efficiency and high speed.

Both have their own strengths and can promote the production of ammonium bicarbonate in Xiaguo.

However, given the current situation, it is undoubtedly more direct to first build an intermittent dryer that is simple in structure and inexpensive to increase the production of ammonium bicarbonate.

During the meeting, Li Mu's opinion was to give priority to the development of the intermittent dryer.

This point has also been supported by many experts and professors.

After all, compared with long-acting ammonium bicarbonate, it is obviously not cost-effective to continue to produce the original ammonium bicarbonate products in large quantities.

……

After arranging the research on fertilizers.

Li Mu went to see Mi Qiao again to check on her research progress.

The latter has some talent and has done a pretty good job in explaining some theories about flucythrinate.

After checking and encouraging the other party, he continued to go to the Radar Research Institute to continue guiding the research and development of mining equipment.

……

It's been a busy day.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Li Mu returned home.

I just arrived at the study.

There was a knock on the door.

He tidied up the manuscript on the table, got up and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Yun, Guo Mo and Tang Yanjie.

"Leaders, why are you here? Come in and sit down. I have prepared nothing and have nothing to entertain you." Li Mu quickly invited them into his home.

Qin Yun smiled and said:

"It's okay, just have a cup of tea."

"We came here because we have something serious to tell you. It's inconvenient to call, otherwise we wouldn't come to your door so easily."

"By the way, it won't disturb your research, will it?"

He finally asked with concern.

As long as Li Mu says the word "yes".

From now on, they have to make a special appointment in advance when they come to visit.

"No, I'm just writing a research plan for the high-altitude platform. It's basically finished. Now I'm mainly checking it several times to prevent any mistakes." Li Mu waved his hand.

Hearing this, Qin Yun and the other two showed surprise on their faces and asked, "Has the research plan for the high-altitude platform been completed?"

To their ears, there is no difference between basically done and done.

——After all, this is the plan written by Li Mu, and the possibility of error is very low.

"It has been written, but many theories still need to be verified through practice. It is not easy to build an aerial platform, and the cost will be very high." Li Mu nodded slightly and said.

He has the technology, but it is hard to say whether he can successfully carry it out.

And even if it can be built, the cost will be very high, and it will definitely not be enough without tens of millions of dollars.

Qin Yun laughed and said:

"I'm not afraid of the difficulty, I have you here!"

"We believe that with you, the technical difficulties will be successfully resolved!"

"As for the cost, you don't have to worry about it. The country's construction of high-altitude platforms can be summed up in four words: 'regardless of the cost'!"
