In the second half of the night, Wei Bao fell asleep in a daze and heard the sound of talking outside.

"Is it called Childe now?" Xu Rui said softly.

"I just screamed, and he didn't react at all." Wang Qiuya's voice, "Xiaobao got up very angrily, and after sleeping for so many hours, he definitely didn't sleep enough." ”

"Lin Wenbiao said that Xiaobao asked him to call him at this time, and he was in a hurry." Fan Xiaolin's voice.

Wei Bao felt very dizzy, he usually slept until he woke up naturally, and rarely woke up halfway, even if sometimes he couldn't sleep for half a day because of something on his mind, but after falling asleep, the quality was very high.

"I'm up." Wei Bao gritted his teeth and opened his eyes to the outside. Although the light in the room was soft, Wei Bao still felt a little dazzling, and his head felt groggy. I secretly thought that when the coal was blown up, the sky would fall in the future, and I wouldn't get up in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night, it was mainly for the sake of secrecy work, and the matter of using the fried shrimp was not only kept secret from the outside, but also internally, and only Wei Bao's personal entourage, the people from the Military Industry Department, and the three girls around Wei Bao knew.

When the third girl heard the movement, she hurriedly opened the door and went to serve Wei Bao to get up, change clothes, wash, and eat something. Wang Qiuya had already prepared porridge and cakes.

"By the way, the "Book of Law" that you are copying now, copy a little, and let Lin Wenbiao take it to the newly found few people who are literate and hyphenated, and let them copy it too, and in the future, these people will be the gentleman who teaches everyone to recognize words, let them teach everyone to recognize this kind of characters." Wei Bao said as he ate.

"Okay." Wang Qiuya agreed: "But we don't recognize many words, and the words learned by those scholars are not the same as these." ”

Xu Rui also said: "Well, I don't recognize many words, so I can't teach others." ”

Wei Bao was prepared, he got two dictionaries, both of which were found on the ship, and the dictionary is an indispensable reference book: "If you don't know, use this to check, this is called "Dictionary", you keep one, they take one." I'll teach you two how to use this dictionary, how to look up words, how to recognize pinyin, and then you teach them again. ”

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya agreed, took the "Dictionary" handed over by Wei Bao, looked at it with their heads, and read it together with the two beauties: ""Xinhua Dictionary"? Why is it called that? ”

Fan Xiaolin also leaned over, moved the "Dictionary", faced her, and asked, "Yes, why is it called that?" This book is so beautiful, this paper is so good. ”

Wei Bao Yihan, why is it called "Xinhua Dictionary"? This is really not easy to explain, and if you don't explain it well, you will make a big taboo! Hua is China, and Xinhua is New China, but this kind of interpretation is definitely dead.

An inspiration moved: "The reason why it is called "Xinhua Dictionary" is because I made it, and I named myself a word, and it is called Xinhua." ”

"Wei Xinhua? It's pretty good. Fan Xiaolin said with a smile: "Xiaobao, I also want to copy the "Book of Law", and by the way, I can also ask Rui'er to teach me more literacy." ”

"Okay, you just have to take the time to copy it yourself, it's not easy? Why tell me? Wei Bao laughed.

"Xiaobao, the word Xinhua is good, Wei Xinhua is better than Wei Bao." Fan Xiaolin repeated it again.

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya also praised Wei Bao's good word, and they both said that a scholar must have a word, and a person with an identity also needs to have a word, which is indeed good.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, he was also very satisfied with the word he came up with temporarily, and for fear that Fan Xiaolin would find out how the "Xinhua Dictionary" was printed, he quickly asked Xu Rui to put it away first. In this era, there is no such printing ability to print such exquisite prints.

After Wei Bao ate, he took the three daughters and the entourage waiting outside to meet the people of the Military Industry Bureau, and the group went to the side of the mountain.

This area is not big or small, and the locals know where there is coal, because the mineral resources here in Yongping Province are too rich.

Wei Bao can know where there is coal here just from the map, not because it is marked, but because many coal mines in the founding period of the later generations, although they have been dug later, but the nearby place names will leave the name of such and such a coal mine.

Therefore, Wei Bao knew that this was a huge coal mine, and he was not worried about the problem of not being able to produce coal.

"Childe, right here?" Dong Huojin said: "The stones in this piece are all black, and there is coal in the ground, and it is close to Benjia. ”

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Yes, if there is a coal mine, the coal mine must be connected, and you can start anywhere first." ”

"Yes, I've got everyone ready, blow up this piece first." Dong Huojin pointed with his finger, about the size of a football field, "I used all the 20 cans of fried rice I made today." ”

"Stay safe." Wei Bao reminded.

"Well, Childe is here, let's go." Dong Huojin nodded.

"Okay." Wei Bao crossed his arms, turned up the collar of the bearskin, wrapped his neck and nodded.

"Xiaobao, are you going to start?" Fan Xiaolin's two big black eyes shone with excitement.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Aren't you not interested in coal?" Why are you so happy? ”

"I'm interested in fried mushrooms, there are so many fried mushrooms, there must be a lot of movement when the meeting comes!" Fan Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Shall we step back a little more?" Wang Qiuya was a little nervous.

Wei Bao visually measured the distance, "It's so far away, it's okay, the power of the Black Fire Leaf is small." But when they're about to blow up, it's best to find a big tree to dodge. ”

Wei Bao suddenly thought of something as he spoke, and said to Lin Wenbiao beside him: "When it will detonate, let Dong Huojin shout 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and then explode at the same time." ”

Lin Wenbiao agreed, and went over to inform him.

"Why do you shout 5, 4, 3, 2, 1?" Fan Xiaolin asked.

"Why?" Wei Bao smiled slightly, he couldn't say why, he just felt that it was more feeling, and it was conducive to the ignition of the person who could carry out the fire synchronously, ignite synchronously, and retreat synchronously.

Dong Huo Jin Zhengchou used what method to let everyone light the fire at the same time, the method he came up with was to blow a whistle, a dozen people from the Military Industry Bureau, and a few people who borrowed the entourage of the son who lit the fire, everyone lit the fire together. However, I think that it may not be very safe, and seeing that Childe's idea is very good, I can't help but admire: "Childe is simply Zhuge Kongming's rebirth, and everything can be expected." ”

Lin Wenbiao and Madman Tan laughed and didn't say anything, they thought the same way.

"It's going to be on fire, listen! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ignition! Dong Huojin said loudly with a loud voice.

Boom Boom! Boom Boom! ……

A series of explosions rang out, deafening. The sky was red in the light of the fire, the whole earth trembled, and the entire area of a football field was shrouded in dust and sand rolling up the sky, and black and yellow billowing smoke rose into the sky.

Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui were all a little frightened when they looked at this spectacular scene, and they all covered their ears and hugged Wei Bao closely.

Wei Bao also covered his ears, and was also fascinated by this spectacular scene, thinking that it was the most beautiful view! It's a man-made spectacle, and it suddenly occurred to me that it would be more refreshing to press the enemy to the ground the size of this football field and blow it up.

The explosion lasted less than ten seconds in total, and the people in a radius of hundreds of miles were shaken, even Funingwei and Shanhaiguan could clearly hear the sound, everyone thought that there was another earthquake, but they felt that this earthquake was particularly powerful, and they were all frightened, especially the people in Jinshan and the nearby three miles were so close, they were even more frightened to death, and the sudden huge earthquake in the dead of night frightened everyone out of the house, squatting in the open space outside and holding their heads.

It's just that these external changes, Wei Bao's side is not aware of this, Wei Bao lit a cigarette, and patiently waited for the smoke to dissipate, so as to check the results.

The explosion actually had two phases. Much of the damage is caused by the initial expansion.

A very low pressure area is created around the source of the explosion, and the gas moves rapidly outward, drawing most of the gas out from the "center" of the explosion.

After the outward impact, the gas rushes back to the center of the partial vacuum, forming a second, less destructive inward energy wave.

Because the chemical reaction speed is very fast when the explosive is exploded, a high-temperature and high-pressure gas is formed in an instant.

With extremely high power, the work on the outside world causes the surrounding medium to be deformed or fragmented by strong impact, compression, and compression.

"Xiaobao, the voice was so loud just now, hey? Ever feel hot? Seems to have warmed up all of a sudden? Fan Xiaolin said in surprise.

Wei Bao also felt that at night now, it was at least minus 20 degrees, and the temperature seemed to have risen to about zero degrees all of a sudden, and it felt so warm.

Wei Bao didn't know that the explosion would raise the temperature around him. The exothermic nature of the reaction process is a necessary condition for the explosion reaction. Only an exothermic reaction can make the reaction continue on its own and make the reaction explosive.

It is impossible for a substance that relies solely on external heat supply to maintain its reaction to explode.

In the process of explosion reaction, the heat emitted by a unit mass of explosive under certain conditions is called explosive heat.

A prominent point of the explosion reaction is the high speed of the reaction, although the heat released by many ordinary chemical reactions is more than the heat released by explosives, but the reaction process proceeds slowly, while the explosion reaction is completed in a few to hundredths of a second to a hundredth of a second, which is ten million times faster than ordinary chemical reactions.

Due to the high speed of the reaction, the heat generated by the reaction does not have time to diffuse in a very short instant, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas products formed make the explosives have great power.

On the other hand, if the reaction proceeds slowly, the heat and gas generated gradually diffuse into the surrounding medium, and the explosion will not be formed. The speed at which the explosion process proceeds generally refers to the speed at which the detonation wave propagates in the explosive, which is called the detonation velocity of the explosive.

The explosion reaction process inevitably produces a large amount of gas. When explosives explode, they produce gases with a volume hundreds to thousands of times their pre-explosion volume.

At the moment of explosion, a large amount of gas is strongly compressed in almost the original volume, thus generating a high pressure of hundreds of thousands of atmospheres, coupled with the exothermic nature of the reaction, the high temperature and high pressure gas quickly expands the surrounding medium, which causes the power of the explosive. Therefore, explosives are substances that can undergo rapid chemical reactions and generate a large number of heat and gas products under the action of appropriate external energy.

Wei Bao nervously took the three girls and a group of followers to retreat, and withdrew a few hundred meters before he felt that the heat was a little less.

"It's amazing, it seems to be getting hotter and hotter over there just now." Fan Xiaolin said excitedly.

Wei Bao snorted, thinking that when he had smokeless fire, he could no longer use this kind of jar to fill the original fried mushroom, and he had to replace the jar with pyrotechnics.

Pyrotechnics are small components or devices filled with explosives that can be burned or exploded by a certain initial impulse energy to produce the intended function.

Common pyrotechnics include grenades, detonators, fuses, detonating cords, fire caps, primers, etc. Wei Bao seems to have seen that the information of the three 'Crossing Giant Enthusiastic Brothers' has an introduction to making these pyrotechnics.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Wei Bao smoked two more cigarettes, and the smoke cleared, and Wei Bao and the others walked over.

Dong Huojin and a group of people who lit the fire just now, everyone scattered after lighting the fire, and now they are also together with Wei Bao.

The people at the Munitions Industry Agency themselves did not know the effect of the explosion, but they were satisfied with the power of the explosion.

"Childe, how's it going? All blown up, not a single dumb fire. Dong Huojin said.

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Not bad, but if it is a smokeless fire, under the same number, the power will be dozens of times greater than this!" ”

Dong Huojin and a group of people from the Military Industry Department heard Wei Gongzi say this again, and they all agreed, but they were half-convinced in their hearts, under the same number, the power of smokeless fires could be dozens of times greater than now? What the hell is this smokeless fire? How can there be no smoke after the fire burns? Where they are, they really can't understand this smokeless fire that Wei Gongzi repeatedly mentioned.

Wei Bao and the others just got closer, and they had already seen the black coal being blown out, this piece of rock layer is one meter to two meters, and the thickest place is only three meters, very thin, it is the best open-pit coal yard, and although Wei Bao does not understand coal, but at a glance at this color, there is no scum, and he also knows that it is the best coal mine.

Wei Bao was happy with the result, as long as he was sure that there was coal here.

"Childe, this stone layer is too hard! In many places, there is just a crack in the explosion, and it can't be blown up at all. Dong Huojin was very dissatisfied: "Otherwise, tomorrow I will make all the medicine and fry it again, right?" ”

"No, that's it, those materials are rare, let's keep you to develop smokeless fires! Besides, you don't have to go back to Benjia tonight. After Wei Bao finished speaking to Dong Huojin and other people from the Military Industry Bureau, he said to Lin Wenbiao: "You arrange for them to go to Warship Bay tonight, and they will be there in the future." When the bricks and stones are made, you will build another iron-making workshop with a blast furnace there. ”

"Yes, Childe." Lin Wenbiao agreed.

"That's it, tomorrow I will let Steward Luo find someone to mine coal, the rock layer is loose, and now it can be dug out by hand." Wei Bao secretly thought that the demand for coal in the early stage would not be too big anyway, and he could already move if he blew up such a piece first.

"Yes, Childe." Lin Wenbiao agreed again.

After Wei Bao finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, and wanted to take a look at all the pieces that were to be blown up to see if there was any coal? He didn't expect that the resources were so abundant, and it was a small open-pit coal yard at any time, and it was estimated that the coal mines in this area were at least a few square kilometers, or even more than a dozen square kilometers.

Everyone held torches and walked forward cautiously, all of them were impressed by Wei Gongzi's rigorous style, the key is that Wei Gongzi looks so young, and he can do things so carefully and thoughtfully, which is rare.

"Childe, look, what is this?" Madman Tan suddenly called out and pointed to a place in front of him.

Wei Bao took two quick steps, looked in the direction of Madman Tan's finger, and couldn't help sweating, it was just to blow up coal, but he didn't expect to blow up oil?

A black-brown viscous oily liquid with green fluorescence and a special odor, bubbling out, if it weren't for petroleum and crude oil, Wei Bao really couldn't think of what it was.

"Ah, what is this?" Fan Xiaolin also said curiously.

"It's fire oil, we've seen it in this area, and there are more outside the gate, if people in many places encounter fire oil, they don't bother to cut down trees, and the fire oil can be taken back directly to burn, but the smoke is too choking." Zheng Ergou, who was beside Dong Huojin, hurriedly replied.

Wei Bao was not sure that it was oil and crude oil, but when he heard Zheng Ergou say this, he was sure in his heart that it must be oil. Originally, I just wanted to blow up the coal, and first get the industrial muscles out, but I didn't expect to blow up the 'industrial blood' together? How rich are the mineral deposits in Qinhuangdao?

As far as Wei Bao knows, there are many quartzite rock formations in this area, as well as diamond rock formations and limestone rock formations, and it can be said that these stones are also treasures. It can be said that there are treasures everywhere inside and outside the gates.

"It's called oil, and it's a baby!" Wei Bao said: "Tomorrow, it will be of great use to let people mine coal and collect oil for storage." ”

"Yes, Childe." Lin Wenbiao agreed.

Everyone doesn't know that Wei Gongzi not only wants these useless coals underground, but also what do you want this kind of oil for?

Wei Bao told Dong Huojin: "You can get something and put some fire oil in it now." Tomorrow, I will ask Lin Wenbiao to get some coal for you, and useful materials can be extracted from these things. Remember, making smokeless fires is a dangerous endeavour, so be sure to be safe. Don't be surprised. ”

Dong Huojin agreed: "Don't worry, son, we all know how powerful." ”

"You need to be careful with the test ingredients, and you need to be even more careful with the test of pyrotechnics, especially when testing new products, you can only do it alone." Wei Bao still didn't feel at ease.

"Yes, Childe. Not to mention the new fire buds that are dozens of times more powerful, it is the kind of fried ones we made, and when we were debugging in the old forest, they also killed people. Dong Huojin felt that Wei Gongzi completely regarded them as outsiders and didn't know the danger.

Wei Bao heard that he had killed people in the explosion, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, he was really afraid that these people would not be afraid if they didn't know.

After inspecting this piece in its entirety, he found that there was only one place where oil came out, so Wei Bao left with his three daughters, and when he left, he also asked someone to fill a tank of oil for him to take away. He was still a little uneasy, and wanted to compare it with the data stored in the computer to see if the oil was really blown up.

According to Wei Bao's limited knowledge, it seems that oil needs to be hundreds of meters deep underground, and it takes a heavy drilling rig to produce oil, right? Didn't expect oil here to come out so easily? It was only a few meters deep before it was blown out? It was a big surprise.

"What's the use of this? Do you also use it as fuel? Fan Xiaolin asked.

"Hmmm! It can be used not only as fuel, but also as chemical raw materials, and more than half of the chemical raw materials are extracted from coal and oil. Wei Bao explained.

"What is chemical engineering?" Fan Xiaolin asked curiously.

Wei Bao thought about how to explain: "Any technology that uses chemical methods to change the composition and structure of substances or synthesize new substances belongs to chemical production technology, that is, chemical processes, and the resulting products are called chemicals or chemical products. ”

"What is chemistry?" Fan Xiaolin then asked.

Wei Bao sweated, "This is not a sentence or two sentences to say clearly, simply put, two things put together to make a new thing, this is chemistry." ”

"Vinegar and soy sauce are put together to create a new sauce, isn't it?" Fan Xiaolin said with a smile.

"It's pretty much the same, but when the vinegar and soy sauce are put together, they can only be considered a physical mixture, and nothing new can be conjured." Wei Bao replied.

"What's physics?" Fan Xiaolin blinked and asked.

Wei Bao really couldn't answer now, and he was stunned to think about how to explain.

"Xiaolin, you have so many questions. Xiaobao is sleepy now, where do you have so many brains to think about things. Wang Qiuya saw that Wei Bao didn't seem to be able to answer this, so she helped Wei Bao out of the siege.

These are long words, and they cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two. For the time being, we can only produce this kind of product on the scale of a workshop, but when it grows larger, it can evolve into a factory, and gradually form a specific production industry, that is, the chemical industry. Chemical engineering is a science that studies the common laws of the production process of chemical products. The relationship between human beings and chemical industry is very close, and some chemical products play an epoch-making role in the history of human development, and their production and application even represent a certain historical stage of human civilization. As Wei Bao spoke, a sense of pride arose, and his eyes lit up.

Back in Jiali, Wei Bao asked Lin Wenbiao to take out a large wooden house in the sky as his temporary laboratory, heavy industry, chemical industry, which should have been taken to Warship Bay for research and development, but now it is still very inconvenient to go there, so it can only be temporarily placed in Jiazhong.

After Lin Wenbiao agreed, Wei Bao took the three daughters back to rest.

Before going out, the four of them were very sleepy, but after returning, the sky was already light, but they were not sleepy.

The three girls offered to copy the Book of Law, and Wei Bao simply taught the three of them how to look up the dictionary.

"Okay, okay, we've all learned, and I'll let Lin Wenbiao give this dictionary to a few literate and hyphenation gentlemen, and I'll teach them how to use it." Fan Xiaolin said.

"You're still busy with your own business, these things can be done with Xu Rui." Wei Bao smiled slightly: "I just said it so simply, can you remember it all?" Do you know how to pronounce the pinyin I just mentioned? ”

"Okay, I can't read, Xu Rui can read, let Xu Rui teach those gentlemen, okay?" Fan Xiaolin pouted.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Originally, everyone can do their own thing." ”

"Okay, okay, I've been running all night, Xiaobao, you go and rest for a while, and sleep for a few more hours." Wang Qiuya saw that Fan Xiaolin was talking endlessly, and felt distressed that Wei Bao was not sleeping enough.

Wei Bao nodded with a smile, and then went into his room, he didn't sleep, but looked up the information, to confirm whether the oil was blown up today.

Wei Bao compared the pictures on the data and determined that it was paraffin-based crude oil, which was mainly composed of paraffin hydrocarbons according to the classification of hydrocarbon composition.

Paraffin-based crude oil is characterized by low relative density, high wax content, high freezing point, less sulfur and less gum, and is a crude oil with ancient geological age.

This crude oil produces gasoline with a low octane number, while diesel has a higher cetane number, lubricants have a higher salary index, and are suitable for the production of high-quality paraffin, etc. Daqing crude oil is a typical paraffin-based crude oil.

It is obtained by distillation and deep refining of the fraction of paraffin-based crude oil with a boiling point of about 230 °C or the fraction of naphthenic crude oil at about 215 °C.

In addition to sulfur-containing compounds, there are also impurities such as nitrogen-containing and oxygen-containing compounds.

In the distillation of crude oil, the fraction between gasoline and light oil is refined with sulfuric acid and alkali, and calcium chloride, anhydrous sodium sulfate and clay are used as dehydrating agents.

It is mainly used for lighting and fuel for various blowtorches, gas lamps, vaporizers and kerosene stoves; It can also be used as a detergent for mechanical parts, a solvent for rubber and pharmaceuticals, an industrial solvent, an ink thinner, and a pyrolysis raw material for organic chemicals; Process oils for glass ceramics industry, aluminum plate rolling, chemical heat treatment of metal workpiece surfaces, etc.; According to the application, it can be divided into thermal kerosene, lighting kerosene, etc.

It is slightly toxic. It mainly has an anesthetic and stimulating effect. Mucosal irritation is usually caused by inhaled aerosols or droplets. It is not easily absorbed through the intact skin. Chemical pneumonia can be caused by choking on liquid kerosene when kerosene is taken orally.

Wei Bao simply read the information, and he was excited, and he was worried, and he was worried that it was really oil, and this time he picked up the treasure by accident, and he was worried that he was completely an industrial novice, relying on this little information that the three 'crossing giant enthusiastic' brothers searched on the Internet, and they have the ability to engage in scientific research?

These uses, as they were put in the Ming Dynasty, were all inventions and creations that were enough to make a fortune.

But what Wei Bao is worried about now is that he should not wait for the invention to come out, and poison himself first.

"I'm busy by myself, it's useless to be busy! We still have to urgently cultivate talents to do these research and development. Wei Bao said to himself, when he personally involved in the management of the region, the biggest feeling is talent, technology, these are indeed the first! Rejuvenating the country through science and education is the last word!

Thinking of a lot of things to be done immediately, the cement has to be made quickly, and the foundation of the city wall has to be built! Otherwise, according to the reminder of Sun Yuefang's letter, there will be people from Liaodong Jingluo Mansion who will soon come to find trouble.

And it's the end of the first month now, and I still have to go to catch the county test to be held in February, Wei Bao's head is going to become two bigger, but he is very busy, and it feels much better than being busy all day in modern times and not knowing what he is doing, which feels very beautiful.
