Petroleum smelting, which is extracted by using the different boiling points of substances in petroleum.

Primary oil smelting does not require a lot of complicated processes, and later petroleum can have many by-products.

But for now, Chen Zijian needs a few of them to cope with the current development.

The first fuel oil, including gasoline, kerosene, diesel.

Needless to say, the role of the three fuels is used in the military, such as gasoline bombs, which are much more powerful than black powder grenades.

Kerosene is the daily necessities of the people, and now the people of Zhangjiacheng use candles made of whale oil at night, but the price is still a little high, and cheap kerosene can replace whale candles well.

As for diesel, with diesel, will the diesel engine be far away, or that sentence, the primary diesel engine is not a complex machine, Zhangjiacheng craftsmen have the experience of imitating steam engines, and it is not a problem to get the diesel engine out.

Second, synthetic rubber, don't count on natural rubber at present, even if you bring rubber trees back from the Americas, it will not solve the problem, because rubber needs to be planted for many years before it can produce rubber.

The steam engine is currently underpowered, and air leakage is one of the biggest problems, and with the benefits of synthetic rubber, needless to say, Chen Zijian wants to get the bike out.

Other problems of the bicycle are easy to solve, but you can't get it out without rubber tires, and the bicycle without rubber tires is thankless, and it is not as good as a wheelbarrow.

The third is cleaning products, many of the cleaning products used in petroleum are petroleum products, such as detergents, shampoos, shower gels, soaps, etc., which contain derivatives of petroleum.

Although the cleanliness of soap in Zhangjiacheng is far greater than in other places, Chen Zijian does not want to use soap every day.

Fourth, oil can refine lubricating oil, the status of lubricating oil in the industry needless to say, there is no lubricating oil mechanical wear is particularly serious, now Zhangjiacheng lubricating oil uses whale oil, if it is not for the choice of Chen Zijian is reluctant to waste so much.

Other by-products will be discovered and exploited in the future.

At present, there are four of them that are urgently needed, and there are several products, which are like a tiger with wings for the development of industry.

Without oil, it would have been impossible for Chen Zijian to upgrade his industrialization again.

Chen Zijian: "Director Zhao, go find the master of steaming wine." ”

Primary smelting of petroleum, Chen Zijian plans to follow the distilled spirit method, and the smelting technology will definitely be improved in the future, but that is a matter for the future, anyway, Chen Zijian has no talents in this area now, so he can only use the simplest process.

Zhao Ronghua arranged in the past, and it didn't take long to find ten craftsmen who distilled liquor to come over, and thanks to the huge personnel reserve, it was not difficult to find someone who could distill liquor in Dianbai.

From distilled spirits to oil smelting, this can change a lot.

More than a dozen red-faced people stood nervously, and for the first time they saw the city lord who was far away from them.

Chen Zijian: "There are books on petroleum smelting here, and I will arrange special people to explain the knowledge to you, and you have to find out the smelting technology." ”

Petroleum smelting is simple to say, but it is not wrong to say that it is complicated, compared to the urgency of sulfur, petroleum smelting can be relieved for a period of time, at least a month Chen Zijian can wait.

If you can't get the fuel you need for two months, you have to change the group of people to experiment.

Chen Zijian: "Now your monthly money is ten silver coins, I hope you won't let me down." ”

"By the way, you guys can read?"

A simplely dressed craftsman raised his hand nervously, and it was already good for a craftsman to be able to read and write under the status of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zijian: "Okay, for the time being, you will be in charge of oil smelting, do it well." By the way, Zhao Ronghua, what materials are needed for oil smelting, you are responsible for the money. ”

After saying that, he patted the man on the shoulder, and Chen Zijian turned to leave.

It's as simple as that, what Chen Zijian has to do is to explain what he needs, and then let the people below complete it.

I took a look at the canning base in Dianbai County, which provides 200 tons of meat and 50 tons of oil every day to meet the needs of Zhangjiacheng.

The guards came over to report, "Chief, Mrs. Wu Xiang is in Dianbai, do you need to invite her over?" ”

Chen Zijian: "Oh, her call was white. ”

"Yes, I heard that Mrs. Wu Xiang set up a soap production factory here and came to inspect it. ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect Ah Xiang to do business here, take me over to have a look! Well, just a few people go over, and you don't need to make a noise. ”

In the restraint of his own women, Chen Zijian, according to the attitude of his later generations, will not keep women at home and not allow them to go out.

On the contrary, due to the leadership of several wives, women in Zhangjiacheng are moving towards women's liberation, and women who do business in Zhangjiacheng are commonplace and commonplace.

In other areas of Daming, the big family will let the women out to do business.

"Husband."

Seeing Chen Zijian appear, Wu Xiang naturally held his hand.

The current Wu Xiang has experienced the temperament of a strong woman, if it weren't for Chen Zijian as the city lord, she wouldn't be able to suppress her.

Managing more than 30 supermarkets and five or six factories, Wu Xiang's temperament is naturally unusual.

Chen Zijian: "Why are you here?" ”

Wu Xiang: "Hehe, the grease here is a few coins cheaper, isn't the concubine trying to save money!" ”

"You're here for just a few coins? What a stingy little woman. ”

Chen Zijian smiled and pinched Wu Xiang's nose and teased, of course he knew the reason, don't look at it, the grease is a few coins cheaper, but the grease consumed by the soap factory is not a small amount, and the silver coins earned are not a small amount if the transportation price is saved by building a factory in Dianbai.

"I hate it, people are not stingy people. Isn't the concubine body earning some savings for Hua'er! ”

When Chen Zijian went to Taiwan, Wu Xiang had already given birth to a son, and after returning, he took the name Chen Xianghua.

"Let's go, I'll go back when I'm done."

Between Zhangjiacheng and Dianbai, trains have been opened.

On the basis of the existing road, it was easy to build a railroad next to it, and even if you cross the river, there was an existing bridge, and with the steam train, the flow of goods was soaring.

In the past, a hundred tons of goods needed to be transported by thousands of people, but now it is only a matter of dozens of wagons.

After the steam engine was loaded on the train, it continued to improve, although the problem of air leakage was not solved, but the improvement of the process, the horsepower from the beginning of ten horsepower, rose to fifty horsepower, and the transportation capacity was greatly improved.

If the air leak problem is solved, one or two hundred horsepower is not a problem.

In the early stage of industrialization, Chen Zijian did not have much expectation for the horsepower of the steam engine, and he could use it.

Ten horsepower is enough, fifty horsepower is barely enough, and a hundred horsepower is not too much.

At present, Chen Zijian's vigorous development of transportation can be said to be the world's most advanced transportation system, with the most advanced transportation capacity.

"You are the steward here, this information on distilling oil has been handed over to you, what do you don't understand in it, uh, you three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, explore each other, I'm a layman."

Zhang Taitai replied cautiously, "Don't worry, the villain understands." ”

As the city lord, Chen Zijian doesn't need to have much knowledge of oil, there are a large number of people below to help him explore slowly, he only needs to sit there and command various departments to complete the task.

Of course, if it is needed by the bottleneck of Zhangjiacheng's development, Chen Zijian will do it himself.

Zhangjiacheng Government Building, Zhang Youde finished reading the letter of the city lord.

"As a city with a population of more than 100,000, the name of the city of Zhangjiacheng is no longer suitable as a city's external name, and from now on, Zhangjiacheng will change its name again."

The former Ming court established Beiping in the north, and now the Volunteer Army established Nanping at the original site of Zhangjiacheng, representing the Chinese people to Nanping City as the starting point.

Zhang Youde muttered to himself, "Nanping City, assist the chief to achieve a great cause, and leave the history books to a certain position in the future." ”
