Chapter 137: The Beginning of Daming Chemical
Li Jing arranged the cotton cloth during this time, and during the day, he and everyone were basically in General Zhu's "yamen" near the dirty penalty warehouse, a small courtyard with three entrances. General Zhu's general's mansion was made fun of by Li Weier and Li Yueer, and Zhu Shou was not angry when he smiled.
In the dirty punishment warehouse of the imperial city, Li Jing spent two days helping Zhu Shou set up a chemistry laboratory, a full set of glassware and experimental materials. Zhu Shou tried to use a junior high school chemistry textbook given to him by Li Jing to learn by himself, and at the same time did experiments, and soon Zhu Shou became obsessed with chemistry, as if he had opened his eyes to see the world, and found that it was these wonderful substances that made up the world.
Even Li Jing was surprised by Zhu Shou's potential, and he actually used the principle of distillation to make alcohol. Of course, General Zhu didn't know what this thing was for, if it weren't for Li Jing's quick eyes, he would almost not be treated as a good wine.
"What has my brother been busy with lately, I won't look for you, and you won't contact me." Zhu Shou said dissatisfied.
"Recently I've been cleaning up a bunch of moths, and some bastards are going to fry up the cotton cloth and have started to sweep the market." Li Jing said while helping him build the catheter.
"Can you make money?" Zhu Shou asked while cooperating with Li Jing to build a new distillation experimental equipment.
"It's a certain amount of money to make money, and it's a lot of money, but this cost is not small, why are you interested."
"Of course, what my brother does must be very fun, how can you not take me one, money is not a problem, I will pay as much as my brother makes."
"Hey, idiot, you're really a toad, what a big breath, the little brother is very rich, even grandpa borrowed money from him." Li Weier and Li Yue'er are also here to help, and Li Yue'er teases.
"Hmph, I don't dare to say anything about learning, if I want to say how many of these yellow and white people are going to be" Seeing Li Yue'er questioning him, this can't be endured, if it's a man, you can't say no.
Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi are very responsible for their hard work, and they are riveting the steel pipe under Bai Yu's professor, but it is actually cold riveting. Ma Wenting and Ma Wenying gave a hand.
They're getting a set of petroleum distillation equipment now. Zhu Shou felt that the lighter oil he used was not as good as ZiPO oil, so he had to make this oil.
Li Jing had no choice but to bite the bullet, but fortunately, there were steel plates and steel pipes here, and Li Jing took everyone to make a set of miniature distillation towers by themselves. With this kind of fun stuff, naturally everyone came to come.
Recently, Qin Liangyu was overwhelmed by the Tongzhou Mutiny, and a lot of imperial histories were impeaching her, she was busy looking for someone to dredge up, and she had no time to care about the three little cubs who were crazy. But Qin Dashuai did not forget to threaten these three piglets who wandered around the imperial city all day, and waited for the old lady to free up her hands to carefully examine your skin.
"Childe, the fierce fire oil of the military department has been obtained," Broad & Bright came in to report. The so-called fierce fire oil is to extend the oil over there, there is naturally exposed oil, since the Northern Song Dynasty has a history of exploitation for hundreds of years, and even invented drilling technology, that is, to use steel to make a spiral triangular drill bit, then connected to a hard bamboo pole, the bamboo joints are opened, and then connected with an iron hoop to continuously rotate and drill, the bamboo pole has a very large small hole, if there is oil in the ground, it will enter the bamboo pipe from the small space under pressure, and then spew out. This rudimentary equipment can drill to a depth of 100 meters. Some of the oil in Yanchang is shallow enough to be pumped out of 10 meters, but it is expensive to transport it to Beijing in wooden barrels. There is only a small amount of stock under the military headquarters.
"Great," General Zhu came out of the iron shelf. After wiping his hands, the equipment was almost finished. Just wait for the raw materials.
Li Jingzheng is checking the fruits of the labor of the Ma brothers and sisters and Zhang Fengyi one by one, and the airtightness of the rubber sealing ring and cold riveting.
"Brother, how" Zhu Shou asked nervously.
"No problem, Fengyi is skillful, this job is beautiful" Zhang Fengyi riveted very neatly and beautifully, Ma Xianglin was obviously impatient, although there was no air leakage, but a lot of rivets were smashed flat, not full of beauty. Li Jing sighed that Zhang Fengyi is a Virgo in the end, and this job is 100 percent.
"Yay" Zhang Fengyi excitedly posed a scissor hand.
"Don't oil it first, use water first to see if there is any air leakage," Li Jing said.
A closed cauldron poured water, and then distillation began, and distilled water appeared at the other end, knowing to boil dry.
"It's okay, it doesn't leak, pour out the distilled water, and it's ready to be oiled." Li Jing said.
The guards hurriedly poured barrels of crude oil into the cauldron, and a foul smell permeated, and the girls covered their noses with their hands.
"Ignition" With the order of General Zhu, the first set of chemical equipment in this era was started. It's a bit small and a bit rudimentary, though. But it marked the birth of a behemoth "Daming Chemical".
The distillation of crude oil includes three parts: crude oil pretreatment, atmospheric distillation and vacuum distillation. Pretreatment is mainly to remove water and salt. This part of the military department has already been dealt with. Long-term storage of moisture has long been naturally dried.
The process of removing water, salts and solid impurities from crude oil by electrochemical separation or thermal sedimentation methods. The main purpose is to prevent the dissociation of salts (chlorides of sodium, calcium, magnesium) to produce hydrogen chloride and corrode equipment and salt scale from being deposited in the tube furnace tube. Anyway, this first set of equipment is not going to be corroded for a long time.
Atmospheric distillation is to separate gasoline, diesel, and other products from crude oil at atmospheric pressure by heating or superheated water vapor, and finally leaving asphalt. At present, the pipeline is subjected to 400 degrees of water vapor, so it has to be heated directly and the temperature is controlled to distill different substances at different boiling points.
With heating, under different melting points, from low to high boiling point, they are liquefied petroleum gas, solvent oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene (including aviation kerosene), paraffin, asphalt and petroleum coke.
Li Jing collected different substances in turn, and the LPG was not easy to collect, so it was directly discharged. And explain to you the purpose of these things.
Zhu Shou excitedly used kerosene to change the cotton core of everyone's lighter and refill kerosene. Everyone lit the light again this time, and the flame of the lighter became obviously fierce, and lit the cigar with a little problem kerosene. Zhu Shou laughed, took out a cigar from Li Jing's arms, lit it with a lighter, and then took a puff happily. He spit out a string of smoke rings, and he has now practiced this superbly, and he can spit out up to six smoke rings in a row. Ma Xianglin also hurriedly took out a cigar from Li Jing's arms. Frightened, Li Jing hurriedly pulled the two of them to the outside of the courtyard, it was all gas, and it would not be fun if the volatile gasoline exploded, this was the imperial city, and Wang Gongchang was not in the imperial city after all. Let the big bang of the dirty penalty vault go down in history.
The three of them spit out clouds and fog for a while, and they all felt very comfortable. Ma Xianglin said thoughtfully, "This kerosene seems to be a sharp weapon for arson." ”
"It's better to use gasoline to set fires, you see I'll make you an incendiary bomb, this thing is called Molo/Tov/Chicken/Tail Wine." Li Jing said.
"What kind of broken name is this," Ma Xianglin complained.
