This large-scale experimental field is indeed a bit unexpected by Zhu Cijiong, he is not an omniscient and omnipotent god, and he does not know much about petroleum refining, to put it bluntly, he has only seen the refined finished products, what gasoline, kerosene, diesel, lubricating oil, candles, asphalt He has seen the real thing.

Just like most people in later generations, if you want to make a mobile phone, if you are not a mobile phone manufacturer, there are basically few people who will do it, but most people will use mobile phones and know what functions mobile phones have, such as making calls, surfing the Internet, reading books, listening to songs, watching movies, etc.

If there is no concept of a mobile phone at all, and there is no such thing, you tell others about the function, and they can make a mobile phone, although the call quality may not be good, the Internet card is dead, the sound quality is not very good, and the picture is not very clear, but you will definitely be shocked.

Zhu Cijiong is now shocked, oil refining, high-end technology that he has never thought of in later generations, in this backward Ming Dynasty, he said casually, Song Yingxing actually refined things, although the wax he saw had problems such as incomplete separation, impure ingredients, and many impurities, but people did refine it.

What a talent, Zhu Cijiong secretly glanced at Song Yingxing with reverence on his face, if he wasn't the emperor now, he would have wanted to look at Song Yingxing with reverence.

The scale of this large-scale experimental field, this arrangement, and this facility have completely exceeded his cognition, if a person like Song Yingxing lives in the next generation, he will definitely be a famous scientist and inventor!

Song Yingxing didn't know what the emperor was thinking, his reverence for the emperor was from the heart, he had seen this thing a long time ago, and the fire was very fierce, but the unpleasant smell and black smoke were really unbearable, so there were very few people who used it, and no one bothered to mine and make money.

Why didn't anyone think that heating the oil at different temperatures would separate a lot of clean fuel? In this way, fierce fire oil will definitely become a sought-after commodity, and the emperor is wise and martial!

In the mutual reverence of the two, the group came to the third floor of the large test site, this floor is not much different from the first two floors, or a blast furnace is not like a blast furnace, the room is not like a behemoth in the room, a hole like a door opening leads to the inside, and there are also two people standing next to the mouth.

However, the temperature of this layer does not seem to be as high as that of the second layer, probably because it is far away from the first floor, and the smell is not so unpleasant.

Zhu Cijiong put his head into the door hole again curiously and looked inside, but he could only see a huge iron can, and there were also several doors open on it, which were now sealed, and the two ends were also connected to the top and bottom with huge iron pipes.

This time, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chang Geng, is this iron can used for heating?" “

Song Yingxing hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor, the inside is similar to a boiler, there is a coal fire burning below, and a large jar filled with water is on top, but now the jar is filled with oil." “

Zhu Cijiong asked in surprise: "Won't it catch fire if it is heated directly?" “

Song Yingxing explained: "The emperor can rest assured, the tank containing oil is more than ten or twenty feet away from the coal fire, and it will not catch fire." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded as if he didn't understand, he was just curious, he didn't really want to understand the structure inside, there are many things in this world, if you have to find out everything to the bottom of it, then you don't have to do anything, find someone to ask every day, and you can't finish asking for a few lifetimes.

He didn't ask about the structure inside, but asked curiously, "What is burned out of this layer, show it to me." “

When Song Yingxing heard this, he hurriedly asked the person on duty on this floor to go to the storage room to get it.

Soon, the man on duty brought an iron bucket, which contained something slightly yellow, a bit like lard, but it was not cemented together.

Zhu Cijiong picked a little with his hand again, rubbed it between his two fingers, and then sniffed it carefully.

This thing is a bit like the lubricant of the afterlife, but it is not pure, I don't know what is in it, it feels sticky.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is this easy to light up?" “

Song Yingxing hurriedly replied: "This Weichen has also tried, it is not easy to light it if you click it directly, and if you add a cotton core, you can catch it at a point." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded, thinking about it, this thing is not pure lubricating oil, nor does it look like grease, will it damage the parts if it is directly used as a lubricant?

He was thinking about it there, but Song Yingxing couldn't help but ask curiously: "Your Majesty, what is this used for, is it used as lamp oil?" “

Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said: "No, this lamp oil is a bit wasteful, it should be used as lubricating oil, that is, it is added to the middle of the parts that are often worn to reduce wear, such as bearings and gears." “

When Song Yingxing heard this, his eyes lit up, it turned out that this thing was used to reduce wear and tear, and they used to add lard and vegetable oil or something, which was too wasteful, and people don't eat enough lard and vegetable oil, it's good to have this thing, it seems that this oil is much more than lard and vegetable oil.

Seeing his excited appearance, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help reminding: "There are too many impurities in this thing, maybe the lubrication effect is not very good, you have to find a way to remove the impurities in it, and ah, you can add some salt or alkali or something to try to see if you can make it so sticky as lard, so that it will not be easy to fall off when you wipe it on." “

When Song Yingxing heard this, he still nodded excitedly and said, "Weichen understands." “

For him, it is not a problem to remove impurities or add anything, the most feared thing is not to know what this thing is used for, to know that it is used to reduce wear and tear, and to experiment slowly, he can always make a suitable one, if he doesn't know what this is used for, then he can only put it here as a waste material or use it as lamp oil to burn.

During this period, Daming was the happiest in research, because with Zhu Cijiong, a super cheat, they didn't have to worry about the wrong method or direction, as long as they did what the emperor said, they couldn't be wrong.

This is like a math problem, directly tell you the answer, for people who have not studied mathematics, it is naturally useless to know the answer, but for those who have studied mathematics, knowing the answer, it is still very simple to deduce the intermediate steps.

The reason why Song Yingxing was able to study such a complex matter of oil refining in such a short period of time was mainly because Zhu Cijiong had already roughly described the refining method and the results of the extraction, which was like a mathematical problem that had already told him the answer.

And he happens to have a certain foundation in smelting, and this petroleum refining is actually equivalent to liquid smelting, and he naturally studies it quickly.

Zhu Cijiong still can't understand why Song Yingxing's research progress is so fast, in fact, the main reason is that he has already told the methods and results, how can people be unhappy!
