The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Laboratory synthesis of compounds is two different things from large-scale industrial production.

Aldridge felt that there was not enough manpower, so he brought in an Irish chemist named Gene Curry. They jointly established the "Aldrich-Cory Laboratory", with research funding provided by Zhou Hexuan, which is responsible for the research and development of sulfonamide drugs and the research on the industrial preparation method of sulfonamide.

Since the structure of sulfanilamide is not complicated, the two quickly found a variety of ways to prepare it. The key now is which way is the most efficient.

After trial and error, Aldrich and Corey basically determined the direction. That is to directly sulfonate acetanilide and excess chlorosulfonic acid to synthesize the intermediate product p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride, and then go through a series of chlorination, ammonification and hydrolysis to complete the large-scale production of p-sulfanilamide Pick.

This is the most traditional and primitive industrial production method of sulfonamide, which has low efficiency, high consumption and heavy pollution, and a large amount of waste acid will be produced during the production process. If Zhou Hexuan adopts this method to produce sulfonamide, then the second largest royal park in the UK (Bush Park) will be polluted, and even the nearby Hampton Palace (known as the Palace of Versailles in the UK) will be affected. Influence.

When a large amount of industrial waste acid is discharged into the Thames River, there must be countless dead fish floating in this British mother river, and the river water is very colorful and beautiful.

What is environmental protection?

Nowadays, there is no concept of environmental protection at all. Factory chimneys are a symbol of civilization, and industrial waste water is the milk (harmony) juice of civilization. Zhou Hexuan is happy to contribute to British civilization.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the sulfonamide production process I designed." Gene Corey handed Zhou Hexuan several drawings.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "With this machine, can sulfonamide be produced?"

Gene Corey explained: "This is just a preliminary idea. Whether it is realistic and whether there will be problems needs to be tested and debugged slowly. You'd better find another mechanical engineer, and the engineer will improve the machine and design it. production line."

"Understood," Zhou Hexuan said to Ornis, "Mr. Hartley, I will leave this job to you."

Ornis smiled and said, "No problem, I will find the best mechanical engineer."

Ornish is full of ambitions now. Although he has no experience in the pharmaceutical industry, he has rich business experience. He firmly believes that he will prosper because of this and become an important entrepreneur in the UK.

In the laboratory, Aldrich and Corey continued to be busy, while Zhou Hexuan and Ornis left the University of London together.

"Zhou, are you going back to China soon?" Ornis asked.

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have been in England for three months, it's time to go back."

"What about Mary?" Ornish's role had shifted from partner to father.

Vivien Leigh is Ornish's only daughter. She has been doted on since she was a child, and can be described as obedient and obedient. Ornis put a lot of effort into raising his daughter. He hired Vivien Leigh to teach him the violin, piano and other musical instruments since he was a child. He let his daughter perform in dramas at the age of 3, and sent her daughter to study in various European countries. Now Vivien Leigh can speak English, French, Italian, etc. Chinese and Spanish four languages.

Vivien Leigh said last year that she wanted to become a movie star, and Ornish immediately gave her full support. He asked his friends to get involved, and spent a lot of money—although he had no money anymore, to forcefully send his daughter to the Royal Academy of Art.

Although Ornis is not a competent husband, he is definitely a competent father.

"I heard that you have a wife in China?" Ornis asked, obviously he had inquired about it quietly.

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Ornis said bluntly: "Zhou, I hope you can divorce your current wife and then marry my daughter."

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Then you are playing with Mary's feelings!" Ornis said displeased.

Zhou Hexuan said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Hartley, you have lived in the East for many years, so you should have some understanding of the customs of the East. Chinese people can marry concubines. I want to marry your daughter as concubine."

Ornis said angrily: "Zhou, I've already asked someone. Chinese concubines are not protected by the law at all, and they are not much different from Western lovers!"

"Although the law does not protect it, the society recognizes it." Zhou Hexuan defended.

Ornish emphasized: "A couple that is not protected by the law is not a real couple!"

Zhou Hexuan suddenly popped out a sentence: "Can a legal couple protected by the law be able to love each other for a lifetime?"

"Uh..." Ornis was suddenly at a loss for words, he was the one who divorced his wife.

Zhou Hexuan continued: "Mr. Hartley, I promise that I will always take care of your daughter. I entrust the management of the pharmaceutical factory to you and invite you to become a shareholder. This is the best proof. What do you think?"

The first half of the sentence is all nonsense, a man's commitment to love is simply unreliable. The second half of the sentence is the key point. If Ornis wants to make a breakthrough in his career, he must choose to cooperate with Zhou Hexuan, because the patent of sulfonamide is in Zhou Hexuan's hands.

Do you want a daughter or a career?

Ornis felt very tangled.

In Ornish's moral concept, he believed that it was normal for a man to have several mistresses. If Zhou Hexuan married his daughter, he would be able to accept even secretly raising seven or eight mistresses. But the premise is that his daughter must be the main wife, because it is not safe to throw away the lover, and it would be embarrassing to say it.

It was difficult for Ornis to make a decision. He said to the driver with a headache, "Go to the Royal Academy of Arts!"

Zhou Hexuan smiled like a fox.

Since the popular performance of "Titanic", Vivien Leigh has become a big star in London. She often attracts crowds at the Royal Academy of Art, and she does not know how many love letters she receives every day. She basically takes classes during the day, performs in theaters at night, and rehearses at noon and weekends.

Although she was so tired every day that she didn't even have time to have a tryst with Zhou Hexuan, Vivien Leigh never tired of it and felt that her life was extremely fulfilling, and she liked this kind of life.

Zhou Hexuan and Ornis drove to the school. After waiting for a while, they saw Vivien Leigh coming out of the campus and walking towards the special car arranged for her by the theater.

"Mary, this way!" Ornis waved and shouted.

Zhou Hexuan poked his head out, smiled and waved to Vivien Leigh.

When Vivien Leigh saw her sweetheart coming with her father, she immediately waved happily. She ran to the special car and said a few words to the driver, then jumped into Zhou Hexuan's car and said happily, "Dad, Xuan, why are you here?"

Ornis said, "Come and pick you up by the way."

"Let's go eat first." Zhou Hexuan put his arms around Vivien Li's slender waist.

Vivien Leigh leaned into Zhou Hexuan's arms and kissed Zhou Hexuan, and the two kissed passionately on the back seat of the car.

Ornis was sitting in the passenger cab, watching the intimate scene in the rearview mirror, and was suddenly too angry to speak. The daughter has been fascinated by this oriental man, saying nothing will work. Ornis feels that raising his daughter for 19 years has been in vain.

"Shet!" Ornis cursed in a low voice, telling the driver to drive quickly.
