Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 143: : The importance of agriculture

Watching those high-spirited teenagers walk up to the podium, Ge Qingping stood up excitedly: "Son, have you discovered a new type of chemical element metal?"

Lin Guofu, the dean of the Institute of Materials Engineering, nodded: "Yes, Senior Ge."

"Quick, tell me, what is it?"

Ge Qingping became very excited. Because he himself is a master in the field of chemistry, a leading figure, he is too eager for new breakthroughs in the field of chemistry.

Lin Guofu put the box on the table, took out a few glass bottles from it, put on gloves and a mask, and introduced in a low voice:

"This is a new discovery from the Institute of Materials Engineering, Department of Chemistry. In the process of studying potassium hydroxide, we tried to understand the effect of combining potassium hydroxide with different substances. Therefore, Mr. Zhang Qiang had a whim and said , what will happen if potassium hydroxide is decomposed.

So, we tried to melt potassium hydroxide and then use electrolysis. As a result, a small metal ball appeared below. This metal ball has never appeared before, and has never been seen before. This, is what we found, potassium. "

After some words, Ge Qingping stroked his beard excitedly: "Potassium? Electrolyzing and melting potassium hydroxide to obtain metal potassium? Okay, okay. Tell me about the properties of this potassium."

Lin Guofu unscrewed the cap of the glass bottle, and a strong smell of kerosene came out.

Lin Guofu also said: "We have discovered through research and experiments. Metal potassium is the most active metal in the history of the world. It is extremely unstable. I can even bet that potassium should be the most active metal we have discovered so far. Lively metal. It has a very low melting point and is extremely flammable and explosive. It cannot be stored in water, or even exposed to air too much. Therefore, after many experiments with different materials, we chose to use kerosene for storage.”

“…”

There was an uproar. Some of the guests who knew a little about chemistry were shocked.

"Does it need to be preserved with kerosene?"

"Not even air?"

"Is this metal? Could it be metal?"

"Huh? The whole body is silvery white, so soft, just like the texture of a candle."

"This is potassium. Will it burn and explode?"

"It turns out that it will burn, this metal will burn?"

“…”

Ge Qingping also stepped forward excitedly, put on the protective gear, and observed the silver metal lying quietly in the kerosene at close range: "Is this potassium? The most active metal?"

Lin Guofu took out a piece of potassium with tweezers and said, "Everyone, please be careful."

As he spoke, he threw the piece of metal into a basin of water. A miracle happened.

There was a bang.

"Ah!"

Many people in the field covered their ears in fright, and were extremely surprised. Even Ge Qingping was taken aback. But when I looked up, I saw that the potassium metal was burning crazily in the water, emitting purple and blue flames, and frantically scurrying around on the water surface.

Exclaimed: "It's really lively. This nature is too lively, it will explode and catch fire as soon as it touches water?"

Someone stood up, walked up to have a closer look, and shouted: "It is slowly getting smaller as it burns, is it consuming?"

"It explodes when it touches water? This, isn't it that after a fire is caused, it can't even be extinguished with water?"

"Can this metal be used to make weapons? This property is a bit scary, its burning can ignore the existence of water."

"Amazing."

“…”

In the backstage, Xing Fu also came out nervously, watching the potassium burning violently and crazily in the water basin, making continuous crackling sounds, and his heart was extremely shocked.

This... Such a heaven-defying substance can also be discovered by them?

Xing Fu was secretly contemptuous, why did he tell these people how they got it? If he keeps it secret, he just demonstrates this phenomenon. Many businessmen will come to him, will they come to invest? He can make a lot of money.

But it is said that it is obtained by electrolysis of potassium hydroxide, so everyone knows it. It's not worth much...

Xing Fu still feels sorry for Qian for everyone in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences.

After the piece of potassium was completely consumed, Lin Guofu said again: "Potassium, we have been researching for a month. Finally, we discovered a surprising phenomenon. Potassium exists in our bodies. "

"What?"

"In our bodies, there is such a thing that explodes at the sight of water?"

"Really?"

“…”

Lin Guofu continued: "According to our follow-up investigation, we found that the potassium element in the human body is extremely useful. After a joint research with students from the Institute of Biochemistry, Department of Chemistry, we followed up and found that if the human body lacks this A kind of potassium element, people will have arrhythmia, muscle weakness and numbness, vomiting, diarrhea, mental apathy and other phenomena. I don’t know if I don’t study it. I was shocked when I studied it. No one in Kyushu knew that there is such a substance in our body. An element. And it has an extremely important effect.”

Ge Qingping was so shocked that he was completely speechless. He looked at his whole body and felt speechless.

Those guests were also shocked, this is not a small discovery. The discovery of potassium alone is enough to be written into the annals of history. They even discovered the existence of potassium in the human body and the role of potassium in the human body. This is a remarkable discovery.

Lin Guofu continued: "But we currently don't have any conditions to conduct experiments on whether we can artificially supplement potassium to the human body. For this project, we plan to conduct joint research with students from the Institute of Biochemistry in the future, focusing on potassium and the human body. In addition, After reverse deduction, our School of Materials Engineering unanimously determined that potassium has a great auxiliary effect on plant growth. After testing, potassium can make the roots of plants stronger than other plants, and can improve the fruit quality of fruit trees...

In the later stage, we will also carry out in-depth cooperation with students from the Institute of Biochemistry. If potassium can be utilized industrially, such a chemical fertilizer containing potassium can be produced. Then it will have an extremely significant reform effect on the agriculture of the entire Kyushu. "

“…”

Hiccup.

Everyone's heart beat wildly at this moment.

In the lead were Qian Mao and several court officials, who suddenly stood up, eyes flushed with excitement, and looked at the young men on the podium who were in high spirits.

They understand the meaning of this sentence too well. It can make the rhizome of the plant stronger and improve the fruit quality of the fruit. fertilizer!

It is self-evident what this means.

The General Administration of the Forestry Administration walked up to the podium tremblingly, looked at the small silver metal, and said in a trembling voice: "You... this ~IndoMTL.com~ is true?"

Lin Guofu nodded indifferently: "This is just the result of our short-term experiment. It has improved the quality of many plants in a short period of time. It shows that its energy must be stronger than we imagined. Everything depends on it." Research."

The General Administration said in a trembling voice: "Kyushu's agriculture depends on you. I am willing to apply for a grant from the imperial court for your research on the development of potassium."

Lin Guofu laughed: "The country's agriculture, in the end, actually depends on the students of the Institute of Biochemistry. Sir, the students of the Institute of Biochemistry may overturn the entire country's agriculture in the next few years. And we, Hehe, I was obviously in materials engineering, but I went astray and accidentally researched potassium..."

Institute of Biochemistry? People have heard it more than once.

When Lin Guofu and others left the stage, the host stepped onto the podium again: "Next, the team from the Department of Chemistry, Kyushu Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Biochemistry brought their discoveries: 'On plant hybridization to improve the national food quality. Feasibility of output.'”

Hiss——

Everyone in the field gasped.

Plant hybridization!

Xing Fu, who was watching the excitement, was also dumbfounded at this time, and his heart was full of shock.

Look at the reaction between sulfuric acid and magnesium in your hand, and then look at the research results of the Department of Chemistry, Kyushu Academy of Sciences. Myself... I am a fart.

To myself this seems to be just a chemical phenomenon.

And all of them are earth-shaking new discoveries in the chemical world. New concept.

He doesn't understand plant hybridization, but the scientific research results "increase the national grain production". But he understands...
