also, moar fun facts
sodium hydroxide these days is mostly made via electricity, so it's upstream of how to make copper
the process of making NaOH via this method also produces chlorine gas, which is extremely toxic and dangerous, and is used to manufacture sodium hypochlorite, yes, basically half the product of the reaction you can turn into another useful product, and on the other side you have sodium hydroxde ready to dissolve silicic acid that you acquired from... well, see, idk where you get that from, i kinda assume it requires very hot furnaces melting silicates from granite and sand and such
