Chapter 256: Make medicine by yourself

"Chairman, then it's our firecracker production workshop. Because it's an old factory building and has been in disrepair for a long time, it looks a bit dilapidated." After getting off the car, Xie Qiulan stood next to the chairman and explained with some embarrassment.

.

"In the Meijiang Department, he thought that although the houses were a bit old, they were quite stylish. The painted stone walls and the semicircular windows gave it a particularly old-fashioned feel." Xu Fu

Hai stood at the door and commented with a smile.

"That's right, Chairman, our old factory was built relatively early. At that time, designers from the former Soviet Union were hired for planning and design." Xie Qiulan explained with a smile.

"He said that! That's wrong. When he came in just now, he found that the factory area was very big. There were at least a dozen buildings like that, and most of them were abandoned." Xu Fuhai pointed to a few buildings around him that were similar in style.

The building said.

"No, Chairman, to be precise, there are sixteen buildings in Liyi. It turns out that when our old factory was prosperous, there was a factory there, and there were employee dormitories, canteens, cultural palaces, department stores, and schools for children.

Bu Nao was later restructured and the factory was relocated, and the place gradually became posthumous, which is quite sad to say." Xie Qiulan said with some regret.

"That's not the need of social development. Come on, let's go in and have a look." Xu Fuhai said and took the lead to walk inside.

When he was approaching the door, Chu Liang walked a few steps quickly and opened the door for Xu Fuhai.

Looking at the wooden door with vermilion paint and already mottled and faded, Xu Fuhai sighed again.

After entering the gate, the faint smell of gunpowder suddenly reached his nose. It was not the pungent smell when it was burned before, but a faint smell with some aromatic smell.

"Well, smelling the gunpowder smell reminds me of my childhood! Qiulan, he remembers setting off firecrackers when he was a child. Once the firecrackers exploded, there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air. It smelled very good! It's not like now.

The smell of the firecrackers was so strong that it choked my nose, but that smell was not bad!" Xu Fuhai took a deep breath and said with a look of reminiscence.

"Chairman, I will know if I really like firecrackers as soon as I hear your words! Our old factory has always used traditional legwork techniques, and even the production of gunpowder uses traditional ancient recipes, prepared by ourselves, and mass-produced

Industrialized products are definitely different. The kind of artificial gunpowder produces less air pollution and is less irritating to the human body." Xu Qiulan said with a smile.

"Yes, Chairman, traditional gunpowder was invented in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, more than a thousand years ago. It was first discovered by Sun Simiao, a famous doctor and Taoist priest in the early Tang Dynasty, when he was refining alchemy. In fact, when it first appeared, gunpowder was not used for firecrackers.

Yes, rather than just a medicine, the Dan family believes that the smoke after burning gunpowder can treat sores, ringworm, insecticides, eliminate dampness, and plague, and is of great medical value." Chu Liang on the side also added.

"Well, Xiao Chu has heard about what I said before, but he didn't explain it in as much detail as I did. It seems that you really paid attention to it." Xu Fuhai nodded and praised Chu Liang when he heard what Chu Liang said.

"Thank you, Chairman. In fact, he doesn't do research blindly when he has nothing to do!" Chu Liang felt very happy when he heard the Chairman praising himself, but he said humbly.

"Hey, don't ask for humility. People say that if you work hard in a job, you need to have that kind of enthusiasm. Firecrackers have a history of more than a thousand years in China. There must be a reason for them to have existed for such a long time.

.When they do that thing, they want to have a sense of historical responsibility and to preserve, inherit and carry forward the things passed down from the east by their ancestors, instead of standing still and retreating when they encounter some difficulties." Xu Fuhai said with emotion.

said.

After hearing his words, several people, including Xie Qiulan, nodded in denial. Chu Liang took out a small notebook from somewhere and started to memorize it seriously.

"Chairman, that's where their production workshop is. They should go to the pharmaceutical shop first." Xie Qiulan said, leading Xu Fuhai and his party to a special room.

"Chairman, let's change into Yidong's special safety clothes. There is a pharmaceutical workshop there, and ordinary clothes can easily cause static electricity, causing safety hazards." Xie Qiulan explained.

Xu Fuhai nodded and allowed Qingcheng to help him change into a blue safety suit. After she also changed into it, the two followed Xie Qiulan and Chu Liang to the pharmaceutical workshop.

There is a room of about 400 square meters, with a very high ceiling, about six or seven meters. Inside, there are several female workers wearing safety suits, masks, and sleeves, who are concentrating on preparing the ingredients.

Gunpowder. Seeing Xu Fuhai and his entourage walking over, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood up.

"Chun Tao, that's the chairman of our group. He will come over tomorrow to inspect the work." Xie Qiulan took the initiative to greet a middle-aged woman who came in.

"Hello, Chairman!" Chuntao bowed to Xu Fuhai respectfully, with a somewhat restrained expression on her face.

"Chairman, this is Xie Chuntao, the team leader of our pharmaceutical workshop. He is also the technical backbone of our factory and the inheritor of traditional gunpowder manufacturing techniques." Xie Qiulan introduced with a smile.

"Oh, good! Hey, Qiulan, he found that our names are a bit similar. We can't be related." Xu Fuhai asked half-jokingly.

"Chairman, their hometown is from that village. Xie's surname is a common surname in their village. Chuntao grew up with him, and they are all old employees of that factory. She is a gunpowder maker.

He can't learn the unique skill, so what about our factory's Dinghai Shenzhen?" Xie Qiulan introduced.

"Oh, no wonder, no wonder. Team Leader Chuntao, let me tell him in detail, what are the methods of the pharmaceutical process?" Xu Fuhai asked with great interest.

"Okay, Chairman, let me introduce something to you. The traditional gunpowder production process is relatively complicated. I would like to use the Fu method, which is a method used in the previous alchemy, grinding sulfur and saltpeter into powder.

Powder, put it in a silver pot or a clay pot. Dig a pit and put the pot in the pit..."

When it comes to the production of traditional gunpowder, Xie Chuntao is less reserved and more confident. As she talks, she shows the specific production process in a clear and logical manner. Xu Fuhai and everyone else nod their heads.

It was not until the end that Xu Fuhai said with emotion: "Sure enough, there are specialties in the art industry. After listening to my introduction, it turns out that there are so many skills in gunpowder production! Hey, the tool for frying gunpowder I just mentioned is just that.

No? Can he try it?"

Hearing his words, Xie Chuntao smiled and said: "Of course, Chairman, he will show you first..."

Xu Fuhai nodded and watched how Xie Chuntao prepared the medicine and stir-fried it.

"Chairman, let's see, just like that, light the sulfur and saltpeter with fireworks. When you can no longer burn the fireworks, use charcoal to fry until one-third of the charcoal is gone. Then anneal the fire while it is still cool.

Take the mixture and put it on fire."

Xie Qiulan was talking and demonstrating, and soon a batch of gunpowder was fried. Xu Fuhai looked at the small pile of gunpowder that was black and translucent, exuding a faint smell of sulfur and saltpeter, and couldn't help feeling miraculous.

"Here, let him try it too." Xu Fuhai, who was interested, took the tool from Xie Chuntao's leg and started to fry gunpowder according to what she had just done.

"Team Leader Xie, isn't there any danger?" Qingcheng asked in a worried voice as Xu Fuhai moved his legs.

"Don't worry, our safety measures are very strict, and we have to strictly follow the procedures and control the heat. The possibility of deflagration is very small." Xie Chuntao said while guiding Xu Fuhai's operation.

After hearing her words, Qingcheng nodded and stopped asking questions. Instead, she concentrated on watching Xu Fuhai's operations and secretly memorized every process in her heart.

Xu Fuhai's operation was naturally not as skillful as Xie Chuntao's, but under her guidance and correction, he was able to complete one of his own works after more than ten minutes.

Looking at the small pile of black potion, Xu Fuhai said with a sense of accomplishment: "Hey, find a place, light it and try it!"

The chairman had spoken, and naturally no one dared to have any opinions. Chu Liang personally took the gunpowder fried by Xu Fuhai and led everyone outside the factory to a special testing site.

Xu Fuhai personally took the igniter and lit a long fuse.

"Chichi!" The legworker's lead coal dazzled with flames, and slowly burned out. When the light of the fire came into contact with the small pile of black gunpowder, a moment later, there was a soft "plop" sound, and something appeared.

There was a strong flash, and then a burst of black smoke rose!

"Chairman, if you don't tell me, he won't believe it. It's your first time to stir up gunpowder. The effect is so good!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Chuntao said sincerely.

When Xie Chunlan and Chu Liang saw this, they naturally praised each other. The two people were originally technicians, and they knew that the technical requirements for frying gunpowder were very high. The chairman was able to achieve this in his first trial production.

The level is already quite impressive!

Hearing everyone's praise, Xu Fuhai just smiled and didn't take it seriously. The purpose of his coming there was not just for fun. He waited until everyone had talked about it before he revealed his real purpose.

"Qiulan, ask someone to arrange for Yidong to build a separate laboratory for him right there, and find a few skilled pharmaceutical workers. He has an idea in his mind to see if he can improve Yidong's traditional gunpowder technology.

Develop a new type of gunpowder that is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. I will arrange that immediately, and he will ask to start the work tomorrow!" Xu Fuhai ordered.

"What? Chairman, you...request to research new gunpowder yourself?" Xie Qiulan asked in surprise when he heard the chairman's request.
