Chapter 477: The Young Lord Has Found It (Thanks to the Gods for the Reward)

"I see!" Xu Shou's eyes widened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What the Holy King said simply opened a new window for him. He never imagined that this fierce fire oil could be divided into so many types, and, most importantly, it could not only be used to sell it as lamp oil to make money, but also for a more violent military use than the fierce fire oil: explosion! I just don't know how powerful the explosion was.

"Holy King, how powerful is this gasoline explosion?" Xu Shou asked.

Feng Yunshan's expression became serious, and he shook his head and said, "This king doesn't know either, but it is definitely much more lethal than a simple gunpowder explosion." This item is top secret, therefore, Director Xu, this king will tell you the general recipe for making a gasoline bomb privately, and you can study it secretly with a reliable person. ”

Xu Shou nodded and said no more, but his heart was full of expectations for this new type of weapon.

Feng Yunshan didn't know if it was good or bad for him to invent this terrible murderous weapon in advance. He knew in his heart that no matter how well he did the secrecy work, sooner or later he would have to be learned by others, and then it would cause a lot of lives to be affected by his own reasons, and even be used against the Holy Country's captives and himself.

However, even if you don't invent it yourself, according to the historical trend, sooner or later someone will develop it.

Is it because the power is too terrifying, if you don't use such a sharp weapon, you will really be a fool to take yourself!

Feng Yunshan, who has studied chemistry, actually knows very well that the power of a ton of gasoline explosion and combustion is equivalent to the power of 10 tons of TNT explosives in terms of the value of heat released. If you count the napalm incendiary bomb that you are going to let Xu Shou and them prepare, this kind of poisonous thing will cause more than ten times more lethality than a simple explosion.

It is conceivable that a bomb will blow up the gasoline in the clay pot and burn it, and this burning gasoline has a strong adhesion, like a pigskin ointment sticking to people, sticky and burn-resistant, if you use your hands to slap the more the fire will get bigger, if you roll on the ground to extinguish the fire, it will make the whole body on fire, miserable. With such a powerful weapon, I am afraid that after using it, both the enemy and myself will have nightmares.

Even if you don't add coagulants such as natural rubber, simple gasoline can produce the famous "Molotov cocktail" in later generations, which is simple to produce and powerful, which is like a cheat.

Feng Yunshan believed that as long as this thing came out, even if it was against the British, there was no need to be afraid that his weapons would be advanced.

It's all about producing gasoline!

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan asked Zeng Yuheng, vice minister of the Ministry of Public Works, to arrange the land at the foot of Xihua Mountain, hire craftsmen, and build the wharf and necessary houses first.

He also asked Wu Chongyao to send more cargo ships from the Liangguang Ocean Company to strictly manage and transport crude oil from Guangxi back to Guangzhou.

Then, Feng Yunshan left Xu Shou alone and carefully explained some principles of oil refining to him, until Xu Shou understood, Feng Yunshan talked and drew again, and explained to Xu Shou the simplest and most conventional process of atmospheric distillation and vacuum distillation of oil refining.

In addition, the style of several towers and tanks and heat exchangers was briefly drawn and explained to Xu Shou. But the detailed drawings, Feng Yunshan has to slowly recall them next.

Xu Shou didn't have time to remember, so he had to ask a few times before he wrote it down, ready to go back and think about it slowly.

But Feng Yunshan didn't care about this, and told him how to make those incendiary bombs, so that Xu Shou could also find a way to develop them and find the most suitable formula for mass production.

After arranging these, Feng Yunshan was more relaxed, but Xu Shou was very busy. Fortunately, the construction and production of phosphate fertilizer plants are on the right track, and a large number of directors and deacons of the petroleum and fertilizer department have been trained, and they can also develop phosphate fertilizer production well.

After Xu Shou left, Feng Yunshan carefully recalled the tray structure of the atmospheric distillation tower and drew the intention. Fortunately, the atmospheric and vacuum equipment is very simple, simple iron towers and iron cans, but the wall thickness is relatively thick, and Feng Yunshan is ready to let the Holy Land Krupp Steel Company produce it.

In addition, there is the production of some pipes, without welding, Feng Yunshan can only use the casting method to form it at one time. All pipes are made of cast flanges, which are the most suitable for the current state of the art.

There is also the question of how to install huge iron cans and towers at high places without cranes. However, Feng Yunshan was ready to push this problem to Xu Shou, who was doing specific work, he couldn't think of it, they would think of it.

The biggest problem is the pump. Feng Yunshan thought about it, he used to use a motor to drive, but now he uses a steam engine to drive it. The most troublesome thing is the sealing problem, although Feng Yunshan has been dealing with the pump all the year round, and he is also clear about the internal structure, but he has never produced, he can only draw a general structural drawing, let Xu Shou and them go to study the test, but the pump is not like the atmospheric distillation tower, etc., it is pressurized, and the oil must be sent to the tower and tank at a high place.

At present, the sealing material can only be produced by itself as a substitute for asbestos gaskets. As for better rubber gaskets, Feng Yunshan has arranged for the Hakka people who have moved to Qiongzhou Island to plant a batch of rubber trees, but it has only just begun, the trees have not grown, and it will take three or four years to pick rubber.

Speaking of rubber, thanks to Wu Chongyao, he asked an American merchant he knew to transport 80 three-leaf rubber saplings from the Amazon forest in South America to Guangzhou a while ago.

The Americans don't know what Wu Chongyao wants these primitive and strange trees to do, Wu Chongyao explained that it is to make traditional Chinese medicine, and after more than half a year of transportation, only about 30 trees are still alive.

As for natural rubber, Feng Yunshan originally planned to ask Wu Chongyao to ask the Americans to go to South America to get a batch, but he suddenly thought that he would let foreigners know that this rubber was a treasure with such fanfare, so he did not ask someone to pick rubber. Feng Yunshan is going to wait a few more years and plant it on his own. If you really can't do it, you must also send reliable people to South America to cut rubber, and you can't let foreigners know about it anyway.

As soon as the pump problem of oil refining is solved, everything else is easy to say. The whole refining plant, the rest is no longer much of a problem.

Feng Yunshan finished drawing the equipment drawings in his hand and sent Wang Minyun to hand them over to Xu Shou.

After finishing the drawing, Feng Yunshan just wanted to go to see Cheng Lingnan, and in just a few days, he was about to give birth.

Fan Ruzeng suddenly came to report, and the news he said surprised Feng Yunshan!

"Holy King, great joy!" Fan Ruzeng, who broke in, is no longer young or old at this moment, but looks ecstatic and excited.

"The young master and Cheng Lingbei have found it!"
