Chapter 51 You say this is just a regular magnetic separator? Impossible! Nobody knows more about ma
What Lin Yu didn't say was that titanium dioxide itself is not magnetic; it can be magnetically separated right now because some iron elements were deliberately complexed during the chemical extraction process.
Chemical technology is a product of the future; the reagents prepared now do not require high pressure and high temperature environments, far exceeding the capabilities of this era. He plans to focus his research on this area.
But we still need to think carefully about what to do.
But in the eyes of the workers, Lin Yu seemed to be performing magic, simply pouring colorful water around and turning the dark steel slag into a silvery-white treasure.
This is so rare!
Lin Yu stopped the machine, and they even picked off tiny bits of titanium powder one by one, examining them closely in their hands.
No one questions anymore that steel slag can be turned from waste into treasure.
Even the soldiers couldn't sit still and joined the research.
Whether they were workers or soldiers, regardless of their level of education, everyone realized that this was a revolutionary change.
After all, steel slag... it's free!
After so many years of steel production, there is no telling how much steel slag and waste is waiting to be disposed of.
With Lin Yu's help, even the largest amount of steel slag can be turned into a treasure.
All that is consumed is some electricity and chemical solution.
The workers looked at Lin Yu with fervent eyes.
Seeing that the trial run was a complete success, Lin Yu clapped his hands to bring the workers' attention back, and then began to explain the steps in detail.
Demonstrate as you go.
Gradually, the workers went from being clueless to having a vague understanding, and finally to fully comprehending the situation.
By the time Lin Yu let go, several quick learners were already able to handle the tasks independently.
The methods for extracting vanadium are quite different from those for extracting titanium.
The reagents obtained were enough to refine 5 tons of steel slag, and in the end, 300 kilograms of vanadium pentoxide and 1000 kilograms of titanium dioxide were produced.
Lin Yu estimated that these metals were probably worth around 5 yuan.
That translates to one ton of steel slag being worth 10,000 yuan, regardless of the cost of production.
Not all the workers came to the factory today, so the wages paid out were only 120,000 yuan.
Disregarding the consumption of various reagents.
Net profit can be around 30,000 yuan.
Six thousand yuan per ton.
Lin Yu was quite satisfied with this profit.
As darkness fell, the workers had no intention of resting.
This brand-new smelting method was quite novel, and the workers were so enthusiastic, coupled with the prospect of making money, that they were all reluctant to leave.
The New Year can come anytime, but if money isn't earned, the whole family will be under constant pressure.
However, due to the quantity of chemicals involved, further refining is not possible at the moment.
Because they could only get these chemicals in an emergency, which were only enough to extract rare metals, and they couldn't extract rare earth elements yet, Lin Yu listed a series of chemicals for leaching, enrichment and purification, and asked the logistics soldiers for help to purchase them.
Returning from the future to the present, one of the most illogical areas of technology is chemical reaction equations.
This thing is the world's underlying code.
As long as one can withstand the dangers of chemical reactions, one can perfectly replicate various chemical equations discovered in the future, without being limited by the constraints of the times.
When all the reagents were used up, some quick-thinking workers immediately volunteered to Lin Yu to move the slag.
In the end, there were too many workers to sign up, and Lin Yu's arrangement of a two-shift transport fleet failed to dampen their enthusiasm.
The other workers also kept their heads down, planning to go back and get a cart to transport some slag from the factory next door.
They couldn't understand Director Lin's technology, but they understood the raw materials he needed.
Their wisdom tells them that slag is worthless now because everyone thinks it's waste.
Once other manufacturers discover the usefulness of the slag, they will no longer provide it for free; in fact, they may even have to pay extra to get it back.
These days, every penny you earn seems to slip away.
The workers' enthusiasm soared to unprecedented heights. Without Lin Yu even having to make empty promises, they spontaneously went to contribute to the Hongxing No. 2 Factory.
There wasn't anything at the factory that required Lin Yu's personal involvement for the time being. Having only slept for two hours the night before, Lin Yu was a bit sleepy and went straight back to his school dormitory with Zhang Guoqiang.
Before leaving, he asked Zhang Guoqiang to get him some more chemicals.
The next morning, Lin Yu woke up feeling refreshed and went straight to the Red Star No. 2 Factory.
When they arrived at the factory, there were already piles of titanium dioxide and vanadium pentoxide stacked up like a small hill.
The orange-yellow vanadium pentoxide and the silvery-white titanium dioxide shimmered and were very attractive.
Most of the steel slag in the warehouse has also been used up.
After asking the workers, they learned that the soldiers had driven trucks to deliver several tons of chemicals overnight. Apart from the P204 series of chemicals that Lin Yu needed to extract rare earths, which hadn't been used much, all the other chemicals that the workers had been taught how to use were about to be used up.
When Old Sun, the head of the production department, saw Lin Yu approaching, he rubbed his hands excitedly, all traces of resentment gone. His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was exceptionally high.
"Amazing! Director Lin, your method is brilliant!"
"My previous doubts about you were truly a case of my ignorance!"
"A mortal cannot find a true bodhisattva!"
Seeing Lin Yu's ability to bring the dead back to life, they wished they could kowtow to him on the spot.
Lin Yu waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart.
Recycling steel slag is just the beginning; the journey ahead will create even more incredible products.
Right now, what he wants to do most is to extract rare earth metals from the slag as soon as possible.
Although the system in his mind provided a non-toxic formula after it was completed, Lin Yu still asked his employees to evacuate and make room for him.
When it was time to ask Zhang Guoqiang to leave, he shook his head and refused.
Lin Yu sighed helplessly:
"The next extraction is dangerous, you should go and avoid the area."
Upon hearing that there was danger, Zhang Guoqiang shook his head even more frequently.
"If there's danger, I can't leave. Commander Hou ordered me to protect your safety."
Lin Yu was taken aback when he heard Zhang Guoqiang mention Chief Hou.
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he clapped his hands.
He figured out how to use this chemical technology for strategic deception.
"yes!"
Thinking that Lin Yu had understood his request, Zhang Guoqiang quickly stepped forward, wanting to take the test tube and follow Lin Yu's instructions.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu took two steps back and reached out to shoo him away as well.
"This is not a chemical reagent."
"My multi-band dynamic magnetic field generator has a significantly upgraded effect on metal adsorption!"
???
Zhang Guoqiang was completely dumbfounded when he heard Lin Yu say that.
It was his comrade who got the magnetic separator. How could he not know that it was just an ordinary magnetic separator?
What is a multi-band dynamic magnetic field generator?
Besides, I still have that piece of paper you wrote down about chemical reagents from yesterday. What do you mean by "no chemical operations"?
Just as Zhang Guoqiang was about to speak, Lin Yu immediately interrupted him.
"Go, I have a more important task for you now."
"All personnel involved in the purchase of the chemical reagents must be kept confidential."
"The workers told us it was just ordinary acid-base water."
Lin Yu looked serious.
"Go quickly, the core technology cannot be leaked."
"And remember! This upgrade is purely a physical upgrade of the tools."
"The solution is just a common acid-base solution used to wash away impurities."
Fortunately, Lin Yu had given the soldiers the formula to prepare the initial composite solution, so keeping it a secret was relatively easy for them at the moment.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Zhang Guoqiang made two "oh" sounds, as if he had suddenly realized something.
Their mission is to use tactics to deceive people; upgrading chemicals doesn't have the same impact as upgrading machinery.
Although she still wanted to stop Lin Yu, she saw that Lin Yu's attitude was firm.
Zhang Guoqiang obeyed the order and turned to carry out the confidentiality work.
The soldiers in the security unit were all very professional. Even though Lin Yu hadn't specifically requested secrecy, not a single soldier leaked the chemical data.
After Zhang Guoqiang left, Lin Yu held the resin gel and a series of fluorine oxides in his hand.
He grinned, revealing a smug smile.
He laughed like a golden retriever from across the ocean.
This wave, this wave!
No one understands the new era of magnetic separators better than him.
