Chapter 53
Edel returned to the palace and asked the guards to find the 'synthetic ammonia' information and began to check it.
After some understanding, Edel finally understood the technology. This is a basic inorganic chemical process that was invented by Fritz Haber this year. It is a basic inorganic chemical process that is directly synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of high temperature and pressure and a catalyst. However, it is still a laboratory work and has not entered industrial production. The most important role now is as a raw material for the explosives industry, which can replace the role of saltpeter.
Since most of the saltpeter mines are now in Chile, they are mainly controlled by the British. Then the ammunition of other countries is also under the control of the British, after all, ammonia is an indispensable raw material.
"Carust, you arrange for someone to find out about this Fritz Haber who invented the'synthetic ammonia'. See how far he is in his research. We can convert them into industrialization investment, and it is best to obtain production authorization. ." Edel called the captain of the guard and ordered to go down.
"Yes, my lord, I will arrange for a reliable person to do it." The chief guard was also unambiguous, and immediately went down to arrange manpower after answering the crown prince.
"Call me Sikuslow and Rossliwa." Carust, who returned to his office, sent someone to call the two guys who had invited Rudolf Diesel.
"We just came back from a business trip, why let us go again." When Sikuslow and Rossliwa were called when they learned that they were required to go on a mission again, Sikuslow complained to the head of the bodyguard.
Karust stared at the two of them without answering. The two who were stared at the hairy by the chief guard felt unbearable, Sikuslow said quickly. "Well, let's go now"
The two took the task and walked out of Carust's office, Ross Liva told Sikuslow. "Don't you know the head, there is no possibility of discussing your task."
"I know, I just can't help but want to say a few words, so many guards will arrange for us to go." Sikuslow said to the partner, and then talked about the partner with a bit of complaint. "Hey, I'm not trying to get some benefits for us, can't you say something for me?"
"I can't help this. In the whole body of guards, you dare to argue with the chief guard. I admire you more." Rossliwa put a high hat on his partner.
The two quickly arrived in Karlsruhe by train, and after some inquiries, they found Fritz Haber, a professor at the University of Karlsruhe. After learning about their intentions, Fritz Haber took them to his laboratory.
"This is my masterpiece." Fritz Haber pointed to the ammonia plant consisting of a closed system of converters, compressors, and circulating pumps. In fact, the two of them have long been confused when facing a series of professional terms of Fritz Haber, but fortunately, Fritz Haber only brought them to see the production status of synthetic ammonia. After some experimental operations, the two witnessed the liquid ammonia that was only produced.
"Professor Fritz Hubble is really incredible. Your experiment was so successful. Is this the magic of science? It's so fascinating. We need to send a telegram to the country and report everything we saw with our own eyes. I believe It will soon bring a large amount of financial help to the professor." Still the most slippery Sikuslow said to Professor Fritz Haber.
"Okay, we scientific researchers also need funds to grow the power of science and technology. So we have no difference in this point. The only difference is that we give out intelligence and you give out money." Professor Fritz Haber sees I have been looking for patrons, and the scenes are all right.
"By the way, Professor, your'synthetic ammonia' technology can be fully industrialized. I heard that there is no chemical plant to negotiate cooperation. This is completely incredible." Sikuslow asked about this when he left. ·Professor Hubble's awkward question.
"I don't know this, I guess they don't like it."
Hearing Sikuslow's question, Professor Fritz Haber himself was a little depressed. This very promising experiment of my own, according to reason, should be needed by many chemical plants. But many people are not convinced of his experiment, he himself also gained cold eyes and doubts, which left Professor Fritz Haber with nothing to say.
Before Sikuslow and the others came, Professor Fritz Haber's last hope was his friend and colleague Engel. Engel is now serving as a consultant at BASF. He believes that Fritz Haber's "synthetic ammonia" is a masterpiece that can change the chemical industry. It can prevent Germany from being affected by the British control of saltpeter. Therefore, he is also trying his best to BASF. Recommended, but BASF has not responded yet.
After seeing the synthetic ammonia with their own eyes, Sikuslow and Rosliwa sent a report to Edel, who was waiting for news in China, and described everything they had seen.
Edel in the palace soon saw the telegram sent by the two, but he did not expect that there would be such a story among Fritz Haber's "Synthetic Ammonia". Had it not been for Edel to have memories of his previous life and a little impression of 'synthetic ammonia', then this technology would have no connection with Romania. It is expected that this technology will only be obtained after the First World War, which is impossible for Edel, who is determined to seek more benefits for Romania in the First World War.
Faced with such an opportunity, Edel would not give up. Soon Andel sent a telegram to the two people waiting for news in Karlsruhe.
"Hi Sikuslow, what does the telegram say?" Rossliwa asked his partner who was watching the telegram carefully.
"Look at it for yourself."
Sikuslow handed him the telegram that he had read, and Rossliwa held the telegram and looked. In the telegram, they are required to sponsor the Fritz Haber Laboratory not to exceed 1 million gold marks (more than 40,000 pounds). However, 800,000 of this money can only be used for the industrialization research of "synthetic ammonia", and the other 200,000 is regarded as a personal grant to Fritz Haber~www.mtlnovel.com~ As a condition, Fritz Haber must authorize , Romania can use the "synthetic ammonia" technology he invented. Regarding the achievements of industrialization, Fritz Haber and the individuals and manufacturers who will join in the future cannot have an agreement to exclude Romania's use.
"This is really a big grant. If I had 1 million marks, it would be great." Rosliva sighed enviously after reading the telegram.
"Yes, you may apply to the crown prince soon." Sikuslow mocked his partner.
"Can't you think about it yet?" Rossliwa was obviously ridiculed.
"Well, we need to tell the conditions to Professor Fritz Haber."
The two stopped the dispute and went to Professor Fritz Haber's laboratory again. Fritz Haber who saw them knew that there was a result.
"Hello Professor. Today, we have sent news from China that I am very interested in the 'synthetic ammonia' technology and hope to get your authorization to use it." Sikuslow said straightforwardly after entering.
"When you don't know the conditions?" Fritz Haber asked the key question. Sikuslow told the professor that he saw the conditions in the telegram and told the professor that Fritz Haber was quite satisfied with the conditions. After calling his partner Rosegger to discuss, he decided to accept the Romanian conditions.
The message about Fritz Haber's approval of Romania's use of 'synthetic ammonia' technology was soon placed at Edel's desk. Edel still sees clearly on the 'synthetic ammonia' that this technology will definitely be used in the explosives industry in the future. Romania's national strength is too weak, and it can't keep this technology and can only take a sip of soup. During World War I, saltpeter could not be transported into the Black Sea, so we had to figure out a solution by ourselves. Fritz Haber's 'synthetic ammonia' technology is a good opportunity.
