Chapter 571： appeal

For the use of zinc metal produced by the Bakens lead-zinc mine in Newfoundland, Marin had actually planned.

The first purpose is naturally used for hot-dip galvanizing to make tinplate. For example, in order to prevent artillery bombardment, the city gate can be covered with a relatively thick tinplate, or a tinplate. In this way, the anti-artillery ability of the city gate was greatly enhanced. And the anticorrosive type of tinplate is very good, not afraid of wind and sun. Of course, Yin Huang's tinplate covered the city gate, and it looked quite horrible. I do n’t know, I thought it was made of silver. But externally, Marin must say that it is tinplate tinplate.

Of course, tinplate can also be used to wrap the lower part of the wooden boat's waterline. Although the galvanized iron sheet is not very resistant to seawater corrosion, it is definitely much better than the ordinary iron sheet. Although it can't keep up with the good corrosion resistance of copper skin, it is cheaper. How expensive is copper now? Wrapped in copper, the cost of this boat will scare people. If you use galvanized iron sheet, it's a big deal to change every year. It's cheap anyway.

The second use is to mix zinc and copper to make white copper. It works ... hey, it is used to make fake silver coins ...

The inferior silver coin mixed with silver and copper, which is popular in Europe, looks no different from white copper. Forging those inferior silver coins with white copper, most people can't see the truth at all. Marin intends to use large amounts of white copper to imitate French silver coins, and then use fake silver coins to buy things from the French.

As for the third purpose, it is also very important. Marin intends to use zinc to make zinc sulfate as a simple pesticide ...

The characteristics of zinc sulfate are similar to copper sulfate, which can replace the Bordeaux liquid of copper sulfate and become a pesticide for preventing and controlling diseases and insect pests. Although the effect is not as good as those pesticides in later generations. However, there is no problem in dealing with general pests and diseases. At least, it is much stronger than not using pesticides.

Moreover, the production cost of zinc is lower than that of copper (mainly the copper content of copper mines is very low, mostly about 1%, and the content of zinc is much higher). Using zinc to produce copper sulfate, as a pesticide, the cost is lower than sulfuric acid Copper should be low.

When dealing with laterite nickel ore (nickel sulfide) on the large Inagua Island on the east side of Cuba Island, a large amount of sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid by-products are generated. Exactly, excess zinc produced on the island of Newfoundland can be used to react with sulfuric acid, a by-product of the treatment of laterite nickel ore in Moa, to produce a large amount of zinc sulfate as the initial pesticide.

The effect of this pesticide may be ordinary, but it also has the benefit of low toxicity. Moreover, zinc sulfate can also add some nutrients to fruit trees or crops, which can be regarded as a kind of auxiliary fertilizer. The most important thing is that because Marin also has a large amount of cheap sulfuric acid by-products, the cost of producing zinc sulfate is very low and can be produced in large quantities. And, don't worry about counterfeiting. Because no other country knows what zinc is.

...

Thinking of having zinc, Marin can use zinc to make a large amount of corrosion-resistant white iron skin, and plate the armor with silver color, and then pull the wind scene of his cavalry, Marin laughed.

This reminds Marin of a very popular organization in the previous life when playing Warcraft-Knights of the Silver Hand. The members of this knightly group went out, all pulling the wind. Why? Because the armor they wear is either gold or silver, it looks very local.

The plate armor plated with zinc liquid must also be shining white, just like silver. Such a group of knights came out, not to mention the combat power, only the sunlight reflected by the galvanized layer can brighten the opponent's eyes. Moreover, with the galvanized layer, the plate armor is not easy to rust, and the installation ratio and practicality are correct.

Besides this zinc sulfate pesticide, besides being easy-to-use, it also has the characteristics of strong confidentiality. If the original Bordeaux solution is used, the blue characteristic of the copper sulfate solution can easily make chemists in other countries succeed. I use zinc sulfate, white powder, like salt, before there is no modern method to test, there is a kind of you to go to the cottage ...

As for making fake silver coins with white copper, it goes without saying. France is rich, right? Well, I use white copper to make large amounts of fake silver coins that do not contain silver, to rob France's wealth and buy French goods. What kind of oak is used for shipbuilding (the French seem to like to use oak to make wine barrels and make high-end wines, and the British prefer to use oak to build ships. So, France has always been a dry duck, and the United Kingdom has become the overlord at sea), cattle and horses, and iron And copper material ...

Anyway, using fake silver coins, buying important strategic materials in large quantities, the French suffered losses. Although the cost of white copper is not low, but because the production cost of zinc is much lower than that of copper, the cost of white copper is lower than that of pure copper coins, which is naturally much lower than the cost of bad coins made of copper-silver alloys made in France. . At least, the inferior silver coins of other people in France also contain silver. The fake silver coins sorted out by Marin are completely free of silver, and the cost is still low ... Coupled with the use of spiral coin miners, the production of fake silver coins is faster and more efficient. Manufacturing costs are naturally lower. The only worry is that the fake copper silver coins produced by the spiral mint may be too beautiful, more beautiful than the genuine French inferior silver coins, and more like real silver coins ... If this causes others to doubt, then It's ridiculous ... Of course, at the current level of the French, even if in doubt, it is difficult to find out the problem ...

When the time comes, a large number of fake silver coins that do not contain silver are flooding the French market and will surely be able to make a fortune from the French, which will also hit the French economy.

...

While Marin was insidiously calculating the French, on the island of Ireland, Edward of the York family was busy complaining to the Holy See.

Previously, after receiving Marin's letter, he was pleasantly surprised after seeing that Marin generously admitted that he was behind the Beihai Chamber of Commerce. Such a strong character has been on the side from the beginning. Although this person likes land and mineral deposits, it is not unacceptable.

The most important thing is that if there is no strong foreign aid, Edward has no confidence in defeating Henry VII, no confidence at all.

He is not a fool, knowing that the reason why France and Scotland support him is to mess up England, not to be really friendly with him.

But unlike Marin, this powerful German military aristocrat has no contradiction with England and will not be hostile to England's mighty ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Moreover, this guy is not a monarch, just a princely aristocracy.

Such a person, even if he was given one or two county enclosures, was nothing. Because, you will get more.

Moreover, the suggestion of sister Margaret Edward feels very good-arranging Marin's enclosure on the northern border can allow Marin to help guard the northern border, while also using Scottish horses to contain Malin's army on the enclosure .

And Marin's advice to Edward in the letter also made Edward very interested. Why? If you can get the support of the Holy See, you are the righteous King of England, and there will be a large number of supporters who choose to support yourself. Unlike now, few people support themselves, making it difficult to compete with Henry VII.

So, Edward of the York family immediately took action. Of course, he did not immediately send someone to Rome to complain, but first sent messengers to France and Scotland, asking them to help prove that he is indeed Edward of the York family and prove his legal identity. Then, he sent someone to the Holy See to complain, accusing Henry VII of sending soldiers to kill the king, and asking the Holy See to declare that Henry VII was the king ’s killer, and he himself was the heir to the British throne ...

The French side and the Scottish side seemed very interested in Edward's complaint. Upon learning that Edward's messenger will go to Rome to appeal, France and Scotland will not only send someone to accompany Edward to go to Rome to help prove his identity, but also strongly support Edward's appeal.

As long as the appeal is successful, then King Henry VII became the villain of the villain. Then, Edward's identity can instantly become a legitimate heir to the throne and will have more and more supporters. Then, there is a better chance to defeat Henry VII ...

It has been modified and I can finally go to bed ...
