Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 307 Oil
There are three more children in the family, and it is very lively. Singing solo, duet, and chorus from time to time every day is a huge test for young mothers. Fortunately, there are so many people so that they will not be rushed.

If it's just a child, this is happiness, but since Feng Daiwen came back, under Guang'an's instruction, the few concubines who have no children have appeared in front of him in different ways every day, whether they want children or simply want to be more pampered , anyway, there are people who keep asking about the cold and warmth, serving tea and water all day long, just like there is no maid at home, and life is also full of various supplements. what the hell.

In a few days, Feng Daiwen couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to start hiding, either in the study, or going out to live in the research institute.

Although I don't understand the currency system, there is still no problem in designing several beautiful gold coins and silver coins. I found Yan Liben and used the heads of Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Changsun to make one, five, and ten taels of gold coins.

The silver coins were made with the images of Chang'an City, Lingyan Pavilion, and the Martyrs Cemetery, and were stamped with the great power of the steam engine.

The gold and silver coins produced this time are all in sufficient quantity. People who can use gold and silver are rich and noble families. Naturally, it is easy to distinguish coins. This is also the reason why there is no rush to make copper coins. distinguish.

Made by stamping, not only are all of them exactly the same, but also the patterns and fonts are extremely clear, and the same is true for the heads of several people, which can be said to be well-made.

As for how to operate, I still propose the method I know and let the old fox of the court consider it, but the state-owned bank should start to be established. Although this will offend many nobles, will I be afraid?of course not.

With the court, everything will become easier. Gaonu stone lacquer was soon transported to Chang'an in wooden barrels. Gaonu stone lacquer is Yanzhou, which is located by the Yellow River. It is convenient.

Feng Daiwen set aside a small area alone in the scientific research institute to store and refine oil. Not only is it isolated from the surrounding area, but also fireworks are strictly prohibited. All soldiers are not allowed to use wooden sticks, iron tools, and leather armor. Even craftsmen can only wear cotton and linen to prevent Open flames, static electricity.

Fortunately, Feng Daiwen didn't need to explain why, and the people below would naturally follow. This is the benefit of power, and it's no wonder that it has fascinated countless people throughout the ages.

A sealed large-scale distillation made of bricks, multi-layer copper tubes condense, and several different oils can be obtained.

"This fierce oil smells really strong!" Li Chunfeng said as he walked to Feng Daiwen, who was busy conducting.

"That's right, that's the smell!" Feng Daiwen said with great satisfaction when he smelled the gasoline.

While speaking, someone poured gasoline into the pit, then stood far away, lit a torch and threw it over.

"Boom!" Flames shot up violently from the pit.

"Wow!" The guards next to him were startled by such a fierce fire. You must know that the fire oil used today is all animal and vegetable oils. When they are defending the city, they are boiled and poured on the siege equipment, which will scald the enemy. , Second, you can then drop the torch and burn the siege equipment.

Naturally, the burning of the oil was very violent, which surprised everyone, "Splash water!" Feng Daiwen ordered.

The guards, who had already been ordered and prepared, were dressed in cotton clothes, soaked with water, and smashed the clay pot filled with clean water from a distance.

"Boom! Boom!" A more violent fire burst out, causing the guard who threw the jar to back away in fright.

After waiting for a long time, it was turned off without new fuel support. Several people walked to the side of the burnt black tunnel and looked down with their probes.

Not only was the tunnel blackened, the heat was overwhelming, and the surrounding soil showed signs of melting.

"What a big fire!" Li Chunfeng said shaking his head.

"Of course it's powerful. Otherwise, nothing can burn on the surface of the water. Putting out a fire with water is like adding fuel to a fire. There is no sand to extinguish it." Feng Daiwen explained with a smile.

"Master Hou, hurry up and try some other oils!" Li Chunfeng said impatiently.

After the last few people experimented, the rest is basically diesel, kerosene, and viscous liquid that can be used as lubrication.

The oil is easy to evaporate, so we have to use clay pots to store it in wooden boxes, and use straw in the middle to prevent collisions.

The oil has been extracted. Currently, the pomade is used in steam engines, and the effect is much better than that of vegetable oil. It is not used for lighting. Except for a little smell, it burns longer than candles, and the cost is much lower. It can be said to be high quality and low price.

Made of glass and cotton as the wick, it is not only easy to carry, but also not easy to cause fire, and the candles can be used by ordinary people. With kerosene lamps, they can not only be used for lighting at night, but also can be lit all night in many places. Bright, such as city gates, night markets, and can also be used as street lights.

"There are many more functions of this kind of stone paint, which requires everyone to continue to explore, and the lubricating oil can be subdivided and optimized, and we must also try to add other materials to find the mystery." Feng Daiwen urged.

"The lower officials will arrange for those who are interested to continue to explore further and try their best to find out more uses." Li Chunfeng is obviously not very interested in this black ointment. He still loves machines more, just as the best lubricating oil at present. , to be more concerned.

Fortunately, there are some people who like to play with various liquids in the scientific research institute, so they don't have to worry about finding people to continue the research.

The emergence and application of petroleum is also an important progress. Although it can only be used for lighting and military affairs now, and the remaining residues are used to pave roads, as long as people continue to explore, they can always find more and greater uses.

The appearance and application of the steam engine, oil, and the gunpowder in Li Shimin's hands fully provided the foundation for industrialization. The only thing that was lacking was talents, which could only be cultivated slowly.

…………

"Is this extracted from stone lacquer?" Li Shimin asked looking at the glass kerosene lamp in front of him.

"Father, it is true. After refining the stone paint, [-]% of the oil can be obtained. The rest is the best material for paving the road. It is more durable than the cement road and the cost is much lower." Feng Daiwen nodded.

"Since it is a good thing, according to my decree, all of it will be returned to the court, and no one else can mine it privately." Naturally, good things need to be owned by themselves. Fortunately, stone lacquer is useless in the eyes of people nowadays, and the smell is quite strong. It belongs to the kind of wasteland that no one wants, so it is not too troublesome.

"Father Huang is wise, and my son suggested setting up a refinery workshop in Yanzhou, which will facilitate the management and production." Feng Daiwen complimented, and then suggested.
