Chapter 725: On the eve of the Great War

We gossiped less, the book returned to the text, Fu Lin for a few days, accompanied by the Zhurong sisters, visited Zhurong Mountain and Zhurong Peak, but in the end, Fu Lin made an unexpected discovery.

This discovery was none other than oil, oil, one of the main objects of geological exploration, a viscous, dark brown liquid, called the "blood of industry". There are oil reserves in parts of the upper crust. The main ingredient is a mixture of various alkanes, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons.

The former is widely accepted, believing that oil is formed by organisms in ancient oceans or lakes after a long period of evolution, which belongs to biological sedimentation and oil, and is non-renewable.

The latter believes that oil is generated from the carbon within the earth's crust itself, is biologically independent, and is renewable. Petroleum is mainly used as fuel oil and gasoline, and is also a raw material for many chemical industry products such as solutions, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics.

The ancient Egyptians and ancient Babylonians exploited oil for a long time. The Chinese name "oil" was first named by Shen Kuo, a great scientist of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The properties of petroleum vary depending on the place of origin, the density is 0.8 -1.0g/cm3, the viscosity range is very wide, the freezing point varies greatly (30 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius), the boiling point range is room temperature to more than 500 degrees Celsius, soluble in a variety of organic solvents, insoluble in water, but can form an emulsion with water.

However, the composition and appearance of oil in different oil fields can be greatly differentiated. Petroleum is mainly used as fuel oil and gasoline, which in 2012 constituted one of the most important secondary energy sources in the world.

Petroleum is also a raw material for many chemical industry products such as solvents, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics. In 2012, 88% of the oil extracted was used as fuel, and the remaining 12% was used as a feedstock for the chemical industry. In fact, oil is a non-renewable raw material.

The world's oceans cover an area of 360 million square kilometers, about 2.4 times the size of the land. The continental shelf and continental slope are about 55 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the total area of terrestrial sedimentary basins. 1/4 of the proven oil resources and 45% of the final recoverable reserves on the earth are buried on the seabed. The center of gravity of the world's proven oil reserves will gradually shift from land to sea.

The color of crude oil is very rich, including deep red, golden yellow, dark green, black, maroon, and transparent; The color of crude oil is determined by the content of gum and asphaltene contained in it, and the higher the content, the darker the color.

In China's Chongqing Cucumber Mountain and North China's Dagang Oilfield, some wells produce colorless oil, Karamay oil is brown to black, Daqing, Shengli and Yumen oil are all black. Colorless oil is produced in Galifusia in the United States, Baku in the former Soviet Union, Romania and Sumatra in Indonesia.

The formation of colorless petroleum may be related to the adsorption of colored gum and asphaltene by rocks during migration. However, the absolute majority of dark oil with varying degrees is found in almost all major oil and gas basins in the world.

The main components of crude oil are: oil (this is its main component), gum (a viscous semi-solid substance), asphaltene (dark brown or black brittle solid substance), and carbonaceous (a non-hydrocarbon).

Petroleum is a colored, flammable oily liquid mainly mixed with hydrocarbons and has a special odor. Natural gas is a colorless flammable gas mixture composed of various gases mainly gases in gaseous hydrocarbons, with a special odor.

The division of labor in the entire petroleum system is also relatively fine: the chemicals that make up petroleum can be broken down by distillation. Crude oil is used as a processed product, including kerosene, benzene, gasoline, paraffin, asphalt, etc.

Strictly speaking, petroleum is composed of hydrocarbons composed of hydrogen and carbon. The four hydrocarbons with the smallest molecular weight are all coal gas.

And Fu Lin has long known the history of the Three Kingdoms, in the previous life, the beast soldiers of the King of Mulu also brought some trouble to Zhuge Liang at that time, if Zhuge Liang hadn't thought of the fire attack by chance, he would not have been able to crack the beast soldiers and defeat the King of Mulu.

Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!

Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!

"Good! Okay, Rong'er, Huo'er, this time our army will win! Fu Lin said while fiddling with these, the black oil flowing out of the cracks in the stones.

Fu Lin knew that this kind of thing was oil, but Zhu Rong and Zhu Ruhuo didn't know that Zhu Rong sisters, seeing their husbands, were so confident, they naturally knew that their husbands were referring to the coalition forces that could defeat Liu Bei and Meng Shu.

However, the Zhurong sisters don't know why their husbands are so confident, in other words, they don't know where their husband's plan comes from?

So, Zhu Rong took Fu Lin's hand and asked, "Husband, what is this, what you said that our army will win, do you have any plans?" ”

"That's right! Madame, just wait! After Fu Lin wiped off the black oil in his hand, he turned his head and said to Zhu Rong: "Rong'er, you will mobilize hundreds of female soldiers for a while, and let them collect this kind of oil, that is, this black thing, to be bottled in barrels, and when the time comes, I will have my own way!" ”

"It's my husband!" Zhu Rong also followed and said, she is now putting all the focus on Fu Lin's body, and Zhu Ruhuo, who is watching from the side, is also smiling like a flower, as if she saw them defeat Liu Bei and Meng Huo.

And then, Fu Lin began to let the female soldiers found by Zhu Rong collect oil, and this kind of oil is only crude oil, and the collection method is relatively primitive, and the collection method is relatively simple, but Fu Lin's strategy this time does not use much oil, this method is enough.

People in later generations know that crude oil is something like stinky oil stains, and he is a black viscous liquid, so this kind of thing is not what Fu Lin wants in the end.

Fu Lin has no way to refine crude oil into gasoline, but Fu Lin knows that some primitive methods can refine oil into primary kerosene, and only in this way can Fu Lin be able to use this kind of oil.

And Fu Lin will personally command and do it himself, and Fu Lin's Qilin guard can't be idle, because, the next thing, Zhurong's female soldiers will not be needed.

Because, after all, these female soldiers of the Zhurong tribe have limited knowledge, and they can't understand some of Fu Lin's ideas and methods, let alone implement Fu Lin's orders well.

In the following days, in addition to accompanying the Zhurong sisters at night, during the day, Fu Lin built a camp in this Zhurong Peak, and Fu Lin commanded the Qilin Guard, and started working in the big village of Zhu Rongfeng.

As for the Zhurong tribe, only the Zhurong sisters can come in, and the others Fu Lin will not allow them to come.

Time passed day by day, and what Fu Lin wanted took shape little by little, and these days, outside the camp, Liu Bei and Meng Yu, who challenged, did not take advantage of it, and lost a lot of horses.

Not only that, Liu Bei and Meng Huo also suffered a lot of anger, especially Liu Bei, a hypocrite who was atmospheric on the surface and very small in his heart, he almost didn't get pregnant by anger.

However, Liu Bei could only be there, sulking, and he had nothing to do with the Zhurong tribe, Zhu Rong and Fu Lin.

Fu Lin's days lasted for many days, and on this day, the Zhurong sisters accompanied Fu Lin to go to Dazhai in Zhurong Peak to see the things that Fu Lin commanded and built.

The Zhurong sisters didn't understand it at all, they just knew that their husbands, these days, had only built some, very big black boxes, and the Zhurong sisters didn't understand other things.
