Therefore, after careful consideration, Xu Yun ultimately chose another plant:
Silver Chrysanthemum.
Silver Chrysanthemum, also known as Silver Leaf Chrysanthemum, is a plant whose leaves resemble snowflakes and has quite an attractive appearance.
It is primarily distributed in the Yangtze River Basin of China, and is even more common than Du Zhong, with very low transport costs.
The silver chrysanthemum glue produced is also an excellent rubber-like product and is very suitable for engine applications. (DOI: 10.28077/n.cnki.nchgb.2005.001315)
At this moment, the first step of producing silver chrysanthemum glue was witnessed by Xu Yun and others:
They placed them in a sodium hydroxide solution for alkaline immersion to dissolve the cuticle using sodium hydroxide.
The sodium hydroxide needed for this step still comes from the initial electrolysis process.
As for Brother Lv...
It's naturally to provide centrifugal force to enlarge the contact surface.
