The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Surprises come and go even faster, Su Jin scratched his head quickly, and set up camp at a high place, Su Jin wandered around the sandpit with his eyes straightened in thought.

The book is time-consuming, and the concept of refining crude oil is still limited to the understanding of the experiments done in high school chemistry class. After taking a picture, Su Jin thought it was the most stupid background in the portraits he had taken at the time, and he was not interested in those tall iron containers and winding pipes at all.

But when he really wanted to do these things at this moment, Su Jin was completely blind; that night, Su Jin drew sketches one after another under the candlelight, trying to recall the poor little memories of later generations, but every time After Zhang Tu designed it, Su Jin quickly denied it; because although there were some eyebrows, these devices could not be produced these days.

Li Ali was very excited, she chirped and came up with ideas, holding a towel to wipe Su Jin's sweat for a while, and breathing in Su Jin's ear for a while, making Su Jin always unable to calm down , Su Jin got annoyed, dropped the blueprints and all the devices in his head, threw Li Ari on the blanket and bombarded him violently. Poor Li Ari was beaten to death, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Su Jin, who was lying on the side, still couldn't sleep. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly jumped up and scolded himself for being stupid. What's the use of finer points?Not to mention the increase in difficulty, the result is always a word "burning"; in this case, there is no need for any complicated devices, just divide the oil into two parts, one part is combustible mixed oil, and the other part is the residual dross. [

In this way, it is immediately much simpler. Use a thick iron sheet to make a sealed still, and the top connection pipe is cooled by the water pool. Finally, what drips out of the outlet is the mixture of cooled diesel gasoline and other oils. This kind of device is very simple. With the current level of technology, it is definitely not a problem.

Su Jin hurriedly drew the figure on the paper, and then fell asleep satisfied.

Early the next morning, Su Jin summoned a dozen craftsmen who brought him with him, and ordered them to make a smaller experimental device according to their own design. The blacksmiths were busy for a long time, and in the afternoon, a small The distillation unit took shape.

Su Jin couldn't wait. Before the next day, he collected half a barrel of oil and poured it into it that night. After checking its airtightness, he set up a firewood to burn it below. Since he didn't remember the boiling point and evaporation point How many degrees is it, just keep burning with firewood.

All the people gathered at the exit of the cooled iron pipe, watching eagerly to see if the kerosene was evaporated as Su Jin said, their eyes were sore, and not a single drop fell.

Di Qing looked at Su Jin pitifully. It seems that Master Su is not omnipotent. This thing is weird. It is obviously oil. How could it turn into water vapor and come out? Master Su was a little whimsical, and was about to comfort Su Jin with a few words. Hearing Ma Han's voice exploding, his eardrums trembled: "There is, there is, look, it's dripping out."

Wang Chao moved forward with a torch, Su Jin pulled him away and scolded: "That's kerosene, it burns instantly when it sticks to fire, so don't be careless."

Everyone took a closer look, and saw clear and yellowish transparent oil droplets dripping out from the exit, one or two at first, then faster and faster, until half the barrel of oil dripped out half of the kerosene in the teacup, Su Jin dipped the distilled kerosene with a cloth strip and set it on fire, but saw that the flame was bright and dazzling, and the sound of peeling was loud, but there was very little black smoke.

Everyone cheered and cheered, it really works, and it really can extract pure kerosene. Usually, when you use kerosene, you don’t feel it, you just know that you lit it and throw it away. Fan joy.

"Congratulations to Master Su, congratulations to Master Su, it really is a wonderful idea, so this place is a treasure." Di Qing laughed loudly and congratulated repeatedly.

Su Jin was in a daze with a bitter face. Everyone followed his eyes and saw that the large pile of firewood had disappeared, so they refined this small cup of kerosene, which actually consumed a lot of firewood. , This is too uneconomical; if you want to extract more fire oil, you can use it as firewood after all the trees in the mountains and plains are cut down.

Besides, Su Jin also understands why there was no kerosene dripping out at the beginning. In fact, the temperature is not enough, and the temperature and power of the firewood is not enough. If you want to steam more kerosene, you must solve the problem of burning materials. To save money, secondly, it must be powerful enough; but where can I find such fuel?

Thinking about the fact that the oil that was sent for nothing could not be used by himself, Su Jin was in great pain. Could it really be that he could only burn it to collect smoke to make ink?That's really a waste of money.

Su Jin sat on a rock in a daze, and the excitement of the crowd passed away. They understood that although this method is feasible, the gains outweigh the losses. A small cup of kerosene requires a lot of firewood, which is obviously not worthwhile, Mr. Su I'm afraid this time's whimsy is about to touch the south wall.

The rustling of footsteps approached, and someone said softly: "Master Su, I have something I want to tell my lord."

Su Jin looked up, and it turned out to be Danmuji with a cloth scarf wrapped around his head, so he took a deep breath and said, "Finally, do you want to go back? You have found the oil and your duty has been completed. If you want to go back, start now. I will leave tomorrow." Ask someone to bring you some dry food."

Dan Muji waved his hand and said: "No, the villain saw that the adults were worried that the firewood was not enough to burn, so he remembered something and didn't know if it would be useful, so he wanted to tell the adults."

Su Jin patted the stone beside him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Danmuji sat down sideways and said, "Have you ever seen a stone that can be burned?" [

Su Jin asked in amazement: "A stone that can be burned?"

Danmuji nodded and said, "Yes, it's dark and can burn."

/>

Surprised, Su Jin grabbed his arm and said, "You mean, there is one in this mountain?"

Danmuji pointed to the north and said: "A few years ago, I chased a wild boar and turned over several mountains. I saw many black stones under the cliffs of a valley in the north. I didn't pay attention at that time. Later, after catching the wild boar, I saw a lot of black stones at night. I lit a bonfire to barbecue, and suddenly found that the black stones under the bonfire were burning brightly, and the people who roasted could not stand it; Bright, I was so scared that I ran away overnight; when I went home and said, my parents said that I might have gone wrong, and I also forgot about it afterwards."

Su Jin said in surprise: "That's coal, the black stone is coal."

Danmuji asked with a blank face, "What is coal?"

Su Jin took a breath and said, "Carbon, the people in the capital use it for heating in winter. There are more than a dozen mines of this kind of coal in the Song Dynasty. Could it be that there are also here?"

Danmuji still doesn't understand what Su Jin is talking about. Su Jin understands that these mountain people live in the mountains all their lives and are almost isolated from the world. Naturally, they don't know what coal is. As far as Su Jin knows, coal has been mined in large quantities in the Song Dynasty. Jiangxi, Henan and other places have set up more than a dozen mining areas, and the three departments of the government have an independent department called the Iron Smelting Department, which specializes in mining and smelting. It is not that Su Jin did not think of using coal as fuel just now, but it is expensive. The journey is far away, and the gain outweighs the loss, but I didn't expect that the barren mountains and ridges in the land of Yindong not only have oil, but also coal; this can be regarded as a treasure among the fast treasures.

If, as Danmuji said, this was an unexpected surprise, then the mining of coal and refining of kerosene would not be delayed, and God favored him, and Goddess of Luck kissed his forehead again.

Su Jin couldn't wait any longer, he really wanted to call the Venerable Master to check it out immediately, but the late-night mountain trip was really a bit of a mess, so he had to endure his temper until dawn, when the sky was bright, Su Jin shouted five drinks six six and everyone shouted , Randomly filled his stomach and set off stepping on the dew.

A few years have passed, and Danmuji's memory is also a little fuzzy. With the remaining memory, Danmuji finally led Su Jindiqing and others to the side of the cliff where there is no grass.

On the way, Su Jin was still worried. Later generations heard reports that coal mines can smolder underground for hundreds of years. On that day, Danmuji ignited the underground coal and exposed it to the air. I don’t know if it has burned beyond recognition. Yes, but when Su Jin faced a large black stone, he realized that his worries were unnecessary. Perhaps the heavy rain had extinguished the charcoal fire, and there were traces of fire in front of his eyes. Although the lower part of the cliff is only a few feet wide, it is obviously a coal mine.

Su Jin didn't know how the coal mine was exposed. The cliffs on both sides were cut like axes, as if they were broken after an earthquake, exposing the coal underground.

Su Jinxia investigated the reason and ordered someone to chisel out a few pieces of charcoal and burn them on the firewood for a while, only to see that the charcoal was burning red, and put it aside, a small piece of charcoal burned for a full hour before it went out. Su Jin looked up to the sky and laughed endlessly. The gift of ten thousand horses was really worth it. Not only would he become an oil tycoon, but he would also become a coal boss who was despised but envied by thousands of people in the future.

(ps: I'm not making nonsense. It is recorded in Mengxi Bi Tan: There is oil in the territory of Yan, and it is said that Gaonu County produces fat water, which is exactly what it is. , the natives used pheasant tails to pick it up, and they picked it into the pot. It looks like pure lacquer, and it burns like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtains are black. I suspect that the smoke is usable, try to sweep the coal for ink, black light Like lacquer, pine ink is not as good as it is, so I made a lot of it. It is also true for those who know the text as "Yanchuan Stone Liquid". This thing must be popular in the world, and it has been done since the beginning.

Covered with oil at most, born in the middle of the earth, it is not as good as pine wood, which is sometimes exhausted.Now the pine forests in Qi and Lu are exhausted, gradually reaching Taihang, West Beijing, and Jiangnan, and most of the Songshan Mountains are full of children.Coal miners cover the benefits of unknown stone smoke.

The charcoal smoke is also big, and the ink people wear clothes.The Yu play is the poem "Yanzhou", "It snows heavily on Erlang Mountain, and Xuanzhuo Qionglu learns from the Cypriot. The plain clothes are worn out and the winter is not old, and the stone smoke is like Luoyang dust."

Another: Coal is produced in Yindong, which was not mined in the Song Dynasty, but now it has been mined extensively. Although the locations are slightly different, they are all within the Yanlu territory. If the party wants to get to the bottom of it, you can check the information and compare it yourself. )
