1814: I Am Engaged in Scientific Research in Britain

Ryan, a doctor of materials and chemical engineering, traveled to England in 1814 when he opened his eyes. The Napoleonic War is coming to an end, the smoke of Waterloo is waiting quietly in the timeline, Watt's steam engine is roaring to rewrite the world, and the golden wave of the first industrial revolution is sweeping across. And he was a run-down squire in Yorkshire who was on the verge of bankruptcy. He almost died from an asthma attack, with only 327 pounds left in his body, and a manor that might be sold at any time. All he has in his hands is professional knowledge that is two hundred years ahead of this era. At the beginning, he purifies salicylic acid from willow bark and synthesizes aspirin. He first saves his own life, and then knocks on the door of upper class society. Improved the Solvay alkali production method, cut the cost of soda ash in half, subverted the Lübrand process that monopolized the entire Europe, and earned the first pot of gold. Optimize the crucible steel smelting process and solve the century-old problem of Royal Navy artillery explosions, becoming an indispensable talent for the military. From small crystals in a simple laboratory to factories all over the UK, from a run-down country squire to a guest of the Royal Society. He talked about electrochemistry with David, opened the door to the electrical age with Faraday, and laid the railway network that changed the world with Stephenson. When European monarchs were still fighting over territory, and when the old aristocrats were still clinging to the glory of knights, Ryan had already used steel and chemistry to set off an industrial revolution that swept the world. This is the age of steam and steel, as well as the age of technology and progress.
