Daming Military Empire

Chapter 572 Cheating Research

This large-scale experimental field was indeed beyond Zhu Cijiong's expectations. He is not an omniscient and omnipotent god, and he doesn't know much about oil refining. To put it bluntly, he has only seen the refined products, such as gasoline, kerosene, Diesel, lubricating oil, candles, and asphalt have all been seen in real life.

Just like most people in later generations, when it comes to making mobile phones, if they are not from mobile phone manufacturers, few will do it. However, most people will use mobile phones and know what functions mobile phones have. They can make calls, surf the Internet, read books, and listen to music. , watching movies and so on.

If there is no such thing as a mobile phone at all, if you tell them about the functions, they will be able to make a mobile phone. Although the quality of the call may be poor, the Internet connection will be stuck to death, and the sound quality will not be very good. The picture is also not very clear, but you will definitely be shocked.

Zhu Cijiong is now in shock. Oil refining, a high-end technology that he has never thought about in later generations. In this backward Ming Dynasty, he casually said that Song Yingxing actually extracted things. Although the wax he saw There are problems such as incomplete separation, impure ingredients, and many impurities, but they are indeed refined.

What a talent, Zhu Cijiong sneaked a glance at Song Yingxing who was full of admiration. If he hadn't been the emperor now, he would have looked at Song Yingxing with admiration.

The scale, layout, and facilities of this large experimental field have completely exceeded his cognition. If someone like Song Yingxing lived in later generations, he would definitely be a famous scientist and inventor!

Song Yingxing didn't know what the emperor was thinking. His reverence for the emperor was from the heart. He had seen such a thing as fierce fire oil. It burned very fiercely, but the unpleasant smell and the dark The smog is really unbearable, so very few people use it, and no one bothers to mine it to make money.

How come no one thought before that heating the oil at various temperatures will separate a lot of clean fuel?In this way, fierce fire oil will definitely become a hot commodity, the emperor is wise and mighty!
In the mutual respect between the two, the group came to the third floor of the large test site. This floor is not much different from the first two floors. It is still a blast furnace, not like a blast furnace, and the room is not like a giant room. Inside, there were also two people standing beside the opening.

However, the temperature on this floor does not seem to be as high as the second floor, probably because it is farther away from the first floor, and the smell is not so bad.

Zhu Cijiong poked his head into the doorway curiously again, but he still could only see a huge iron pot with a few doors on it, which are now sealed, and the two ends are also connected to the top and bottom by huge iron pipes.

This time, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Chang Geng, is this iron pot used for heating?"

Song Yingxing nodded quickly and said: "Yes, your majesty, the inside is similar to a boiler, with a coal fire burning underneath, and a large pot filled with water on top, but now the pot is filled with oil."

Zhu Cijiong asked in surprise: "If you heat it directly, won't it catch fire?"

Song Yingxing explained: "Don't worry, the emperor, the oil tank is more than ten or twenty feet away from the coal fire, and it will not catch fire."

Zhu Cijiong nodded half-understood, he was just curious, he didn't really want to understand the structure inside, there are so many things in this world, if you have to get to the bottom of everything, then you don't have to do anything, every day Find someone to ask, and you can't finish asking for a few lifetimes.

He didn't ask about the structure inside, but asked curiously: "What is this layer burned out, show me."

Song Yingxing heard the words, and quickly asked the person on duty on this floor to go to the storage room to get it.

Soon, the person on duty brought over an iron bucket. The contents inside were slightly oily yellow, a bit like lard, but they were not hardened together.

Zhu Cijiong picked a little with his hand again, rubbed it between his two fingers, and then sniffed it carefully.

This thing is a bit like the lubricating oil of later generations, but it is not pure. I don't know what is contained in it, and it feels sticky.

He thought for a while and asked, "Is this easy to light?"

Song Yingxing quickly replied: "This humble official has also tried it. It is not easy to light it directly, but it will burn with a little cotton wick."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, thinking about it, this thing is not pure lubricating oil, nor is it like grease, will it damage the parts if it is used directly as a lubricant?

He was thinking about it, but Song Yingxing couldn't help asking curiously: "Your Majesty, what is this used for, as lamp oil?"

Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said: "No, it's a bit wasteful to use it as lamp oil. It should be used as lubricating oil, that is, added to the parts that are often worn to reduce wear, such as bearings and gears can be added."

Song Yingxing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, it turned out that this thing was used to reduce wear and tear. In the past, all they added was lard and vegetable oil. Things are fine, it seems that this oil is much more than lard and vegetable oil.

Seeing his excitement, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help reminding: "There are too many impurities in this thing, maybe the lubrication effect is not very good, you have to find a way to remove the impurities in it, and you can add some salt or alkali to try. Try to see if you can make it as viscous as lard, so that it won't come off easily when you smear it on."

Song Yingxing heard the words, still nodded excitedly and said: "Wei Chen understands."

For him, removing impurities or adding anything is not a problem. What he fears the most is that he doesn’t know what this thing is used for. It’s good to know that it is used to reduce wear and tear. Experiment slowly and always make a suitable product. Come on, if you don't know what it is used for, then you can only put it here as waste or burn it as lamp oil.

During this period, those who were engaged in research work in Daming could be said to be the happiest, because with Zhu Cijiong's super cheating device, they didn't have to worry about the wrong method or direction at all, as long as they did what the emperor said, they would never go wrong.

This is like a math problem. It tells you the answer directly. For those who have never studied mathematics, it is useless to know the answer, but for those who have studied mathematics, if they know the answer, they need to calculate the intermediate steps. Getting out is easy.

The reason why Song Yingxing was able to achieve such great results in such a complicated matter of oil refining in such a short period of time was mainly because Zhu Cijiong had roughly described the refining method and the refining results. The answer told him.

And he happened to have a certain foundation in smelting. This oil refining is actually equivalent to liquid smelting, so he naturally researched it very quickly.

Zhu Cijiong still couldn't understand why Song Yingxing's research progress was so fast. In fact, the main reason was him. He had already explained the method and results, so how could he be unhappy!
