"Ahem! Yamachō, this room is a bit messy, please don't mind it! But everything that should be here is here! Take a look! This is the beaker that you mentioned in the "Chemistry" textbook, this is the measuring cylinder, this is … "
In a room in the workshop's office building, Wang Ji introduced the experimental equipment in the room to Li Zexuan with great familiarity. In fact, there was no need for him to introduce them. Li Zexuan knew better than anyone else!
If one paid close attention to Wang Ji's tone, one would notice that when it came to "Chemistry", his attitude towards Li Zexuan became more respectful. This was because in the field of knowledge, the one who was more knowledgeable was the teacher! Li Zexuan was better than him in this field, and that was a fact!
"Mm! Very good! I can see that Mr. Wang has been working hard these days! "
Li Zexuan looked at the experimental equipment in the room and nodded in admiration.
Wang Ji heard this and immediately grinned. "Heh! In the end, it's all thanks to your workshop, Yamachō! Without the help of those craftsmen, no matter how capable I am, I wouldn't be able to create so many things in such a short period of time! "
He was right. Li Zexuan was definitely the one who contributed the most. If he hadn't invented the method of burning colored glaze, Wang Ji wouldn't have been able to make any of the experimental instruments in front of him!
"Hehe! Mr. Wang is too humble! "
Li Zexuan laughed and then asked, "Mr. Wang, have you been living in this room for the past few days?"
This was because he saw a very simple wooden bed in the corner of the room. When he thought about how this old man in front of him was doing experiments day and night in this cold weather, Li Zexuan felt a little sad!
A "scientific worker" shouldn't be treated like this!
But this was Wang Ji's usual style!
When Yanhuang College was first established and recruited the first batch of teachers, Wang Ji wanted to win the bet with Yan Silu and prove that he was worthy of the "high salary" of the college and the position of the head of the chemistry department. He crazily studied the "Chemistry" textbook day and night for nearly a month and finally won the bet with full marks and proved his ability! After the exam, the old man fell into a coma for a day and a night!
This showed that this was a stubborn old man, but at the same time, a very capable old man!
This old man was sometimes very cruel to himself!
"Ugh! This is fine, as long as there's a place to lie down, it doesn't matter where I sleep! Yamachō, you don't have to worry about me! "
Wang Ji only wanted to show Li Zexuan his research results. he didn't have time to care about his living situation.
Li Zexuan said decisively, "No! The body The body is the body … The body the body body body the capital Mr. Wang, if you continue like this, you'll definitely fall sick in a few days! I'll ask Faubert to send someone to install a heater in your room! "
"Heater? What's a heater? "
Wang Ji, who was only focused on various chemical equations, obviously didn't notice that the workshop had recently produced several heaters, so he asked curiously.
"Let's not talk about this first, Mr. Wang, you'll understand when it's installed!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and then got to the point, "Mr. Wang, just now outside, you said that you recently discovered something new, what is it that made you so happy ~?"
Wang Ji immediately became spirited. He quickly walked to the experiment table and took a small glass bottle with a label. There was still half a bottle of colorless liquid in it. Then he smiled and took the glass bottle in front of Li Zexuan and said, "Yamachō, this is it!"
"What's this …"
Li Zexuan took it with one hand and asked subconsciously. But before he finished, he had already seen the H2SO4 label on the bottle. The doubt on his face suddenly turned into surprise, "Sulfuric … sulfuric acid?"
Wang Ji nodded proudly and stroked his beard, "Yes! That's right! It's sulfuric acid! "
Geezer Wang had painstakingly studied the "chemistry" textbook, so Li Zexuan wasn't surprised at all that the old man could say the name sulfuric acid. But now Wang Ji actually said that he had made sulfuric acid, which made Li Zexuan feel very incredulous. "Mr. Wang, how did you make sulfuric acid?"
The foundation of the modern chemical industry was "three acids and two bases". It could be said that without "three acids and two bases", there would be no modern chemical industry! And sulfuric acid was one of the important components of "three acids and two bases". If Wang Ji really made sulfuric acid, it would be awesome!
(The "three acids" were sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid. The "two bases" were sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate.)
Wang Ji took out a small box from the drawer and a small paper bag from the wooden box. When the paper bag was opened, a small pinch of green powdery substance was revealed. Wang Ji smiled and said,
"Yamachō, this is it! This old man placed the green vitriol on a flame to heat it up and discovered that it would produce a kind of gas. Furthermore, this gas is very soluble in water. After this old man used the chemical equation to calculate, this solution is very likely sulfuric acid! "
Green alum!!
Isn't this thing a water crystal of ferrous sulfate?
Li Zexuan was stunned. He suddenly remembered that according to the chemistry books in his previous life, you can indeed make dilute sulfuric acid by burning green alum. The chemical equation was: 2FeSO4 · 7H2O = (high temperature) Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3 + 14H2O. Sulfur trioxide dissolved in water is dilute sulfuric acid. But where did Wang Ji get the green alum?
"Mr. Wang …"
With doubts in his heart, Li Zexuan was just about to ask where Wang Ji got the green alum from. Suddenly, the memories of his previous life made him realize that green alum was a kind of Chinese medicine in ancient times. Wang Ji must have gotten it from Sun Simiao!
"Tang Bencao" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" both had records of green alum's medicinal properties. It could be used to treat typhoid, malaria, and other diseases.
"Hehe, Yamachō, you guessed right! This green alum was borrowed by this old man from Divine Doctor Sun! "
Wang Ji seemed to have seen through Li Zexuan's thoughts and said with a smile.
As for the "borrowed" he mentioned, it must be that he did not return it! Sun Simiao reacted after a while. He would probably find trouble with Wang Ji!
"Heh! Mr. Wang is really a genius! You actually thought of using green alum to make sulfuric acid. Admirable, admirable! "
Li Zexuan was sincerely convinced.
This chemical reaction might not be difficult for a modern person like him, but Wang Ji, an ancient person, could actually make dilute sulfuric acid by himself. That was really amazing! At any time, creation was much more difficult than innovation!
Wang Ji laughed and said, "You're too kind! This is all thanks to your "Chemistry" textbook, Yamachō, that gave me a lot of inspiration! Also, some of my experiences in my early years also gave me a lot of help! "
