Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Got it!

You have a big butt and owe a lot of debt, so you have the final say!

He touched his nose, said no more, and came closer to study the railway route together.

On the other side, Wu Chunfu was at the Zhengcunba factory, watching the fire bull running on the rails again.

Xu Guangqi was standing nearby, but his attention was not on the fire bull.

Behind the two men, a group of craftsmen, after their initial excitement, someone pointed at the fire bull and expressed his doubts.

"In some places, there is not much coal. If we rely on fire bulls to provide it ourselves, I'm afraid it won't be enough. We have to find a way to solve this problem."

Upon hearing this, the others instantly shifted their attention and gathered together to discuss the matter.

"How about trying charcoal?"

"No, that thing can't withstand burning!"

"Then change to kerosene?"

"You can try this. When we used tracks, the road was uneven and the kerosene might splash out of the furnace. With rails, there is no such concern."

"No, kerosene is indeed more durable than coal, but the residue left after burning is too difficult to clean up. This is a problem!"

"Think of a way to deal with it and remove the things that cannot be burned in the kerosene in advance."

"How to deal with it?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"How about trying to wash it, like washing coal stones?"

"Wash your hammer. Kerosene and water don't mix, right?"

"How about steaming it and trying it? I remember that when kerosene was being mined, the stench coming out of the well could be ignited. If we steam it, we should be able to get the smell out. Then, we can use cold water to stimulate it like we would liquor, and we should get some results."

“It seems like we can give it a try!”

"But for this matter, don't we need to grab a few Taoist priests to help? After all, compared to us, they are professionals in refining those messy things?"

"Yes, yes, yes! This is kerosene, something might happen!"

"That makes sense. Taoist priests have the ability to turn misfortune into fortune, but we don't have that..."

"Aren't Taoist Tianyi and Taoist Xuanling working on bullet primers? Invite them over. Kerosene is much safer than bullet primers. They will definitely be able to do it!"

"No problem. At worst, I can give them some credit after the success."

"........."

This group of people were talking to each other, and they didn't even look at the fire bull running on the railroad track.

For them, there is no need to pay too much attention to things that are already mature.

What they are interested in is how to discover and solve problems.

There will be great rewards for those who innovate!

This is the biggest driving force!

Originally, these people were consciously lowering their voices so as not to disturb Wu Chunfu, Xu Guangqi and others.

But when the fire bull runs, the noise it makes is really loud.

If you lower your voice, not only others but even you may not be able to hear clearly.

As a result, the voices of these people became louder and louder until they reached Xu Guangqi's ears. This aroused great interest in him, and he immediately turned around and spoke to everyone.

"You can give it a try!"

"I will go and invite the two masters Tianyi and Xuanling. You just go and prepare the kerosene and the stove!"

Afterwards, everyone left Wu Chunfu behind and went to make their own preparations.

evening.

A furnace was carried outside the factory.

Tianyi and Xuanling stood proudly at the front of the crowd, directing the craftsmen to pour kerosene into the furnace.

This stove has the same structure as the boiler used on the fire bull, except that the water in the stove is replaced with kerosene.

The pipes originally used to release water vapor were also converted to discharge oil and gas.

In order to achieve better condensation effect, the craftsmen inserted one end of the tube into a wooden barrel filled with snow, with the nozzle extending from the bottom of the barrel.

With Tianyi's order, the firewood pile under the stove was ignited, the flames licked the bottom of the stove, and the pressure in the stove and the temperature of the kerosene began to rise slowly.

After a stick of incense, under the gaze of everyone, a drop of liquid condensed at the mouth of the tube.

Then, with a plop, it dripped into the glass jar below.

Tianyi patted Xuan Ling beside him and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother, these craftsmen are quite good..."

Xuan Ling shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "That's right, our credit came a little too easily, I feel a little embarrassed."

After saying that, he turned around with a guilty conscience and looked at the craftsmen.

But then he just stood there in a daze.

"Brother Dao, where did they go?"

Tianyi looked back and was also confused!

There were more than a dozen craftsmen standing behind him before, but now none of them are left!

Oh no!

Still there!

But what does it mean that they are hiding in the woods dozens of meters away?

The two were deeply puzzled by this. Xuan Ling took a deep breath and patted Tianyi on the shoulder twice.

"Brother, please watch here. I will go and ask them what's going on..."

After saying that, he strode towards the craftsmen.

When the craftsmen hiding in the woods saw him coming, they immediately felt guilty.

"How to do?"

"If they knew our plan, we would be in big trouble..."

"Hurry up and take off your clothes!"

Someone cleverly thought of a solution, and as soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead in taking action.

When Xuan Ling came in front of the crowd, he saw a craftsman looking at him with his big eyes blinking.

"Master, are you here to poop too?"

Chapter 539 Oil Production (Two in One)

Looking at the white butts and innocent faces in front of him, Xuan Ling didn't know what to say for a moment.

Blessings are immeasurable!

So many people squatting together to poop, don’t you find it smelly?

He shook his head decisively, then turned and left.

But at this moment, there was a sudden bang behind him.

Then came Tianyi’s scream.

Xuan Ling quickly looked back, only to see that the furnace that had originally stood there was now surrounded by flames.

Tianyi was patting the flames on his body and fleeing into the distance.

what's the situation?

This scene stunned the craftsmen who were squatting and pretending to poop.

What the hell!

Was there really an accident?

Will Tianyi Zhenren be burned to death?

"Hurry up and save people!"

A cry of surprise came from the crowd.

Then, Xuan Ling saw an old man with his bare butt rushing towards Tianyi.

The old man's behavior made the others quickly come to their senses, and they ran towards the stove while pulling up their pants.

After the fire on Tianyi was put out, he didn't have any serious injuries, but there were a few holes in his clothes, revealing his sexy little Maner...

Another fortunate thing is that the craftsmen prepared sand and soil nearby in advance to prevent accidents.

Facing the risk of explosion at any time, everyone worked together to put out the fire. Looking at the mess before them, everyone kept silent.

In the end, it was Xuan Ling who spoke and broke the silence.

He walked up to Tianyi, took off his robe and handed it to him.

"Brother, did you notice anything unusual just now?"

Tianyi didn't seem to be afraid at all. He took the robe and wrapped it around himself to cover his chest.

Coming to the stove, he looked at the glass jar which originally contained a lot of liquid but was now filled with sand.

"like......."

"Some of the vapor from the kerosene cannot condense into liquid."

"Besides, it can burn!"

"The fire just now started because the gas rushed out of the pipe and was ignited by the fire."

“So, now the question is.”

"The pipe is too short and the opening is too close to the furnace. It must be lengthened."

Not only did he discover the problem, he also thought of a solution in the first place!

As he spoke, he picked up a stone and started drawing on the ground.

"Brother Taoist, please take a look."

"If you raise the furnace higher and extend the pipes longer."

"Once the air in the pipe has cooled sufficiently, add two more bends!"

"A bend is used to collect the oil and gas that turns into water!"

"Another bend to vent the gases that can't be cooled."

"To prevent further accidents, the end of the tube must be thinner, and after the gas is expelled, light it!"

The old man who rushed out first couldn't help but come over when he heard that.

"Master Tianyi, if you do what you want, won't the fire flow through the pipe and into the furnace?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other craftsmen gathered around.

"That's right. How can you start a fire when you can't even prevent it?"

"This time it can be considered lucky, if it happens again, it might kill people..."

"How about we do it according to what Tianyi said, but just add clean water into the back bend in advance?"

"That's a good idea. This way, the bend at the back will act like a hookah, which can let air out but not fire out!"

"Yes, the pressure generated inside the furnace after it is heated is enough to squeeze the gas out of the water."

"........."

There is nothing shameful about being afraid of death.

And when it comes to playing with the stove, they are indeed not as good as Tianyi and Xuanling.
