Chapter 211: Fierce Fire Oil Reappears

Although Supreme Treasure failed to catch Jia Qin in the end, his occupation of Kaifeng, Henan was also a good result. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNow all he has to do is to feed the war with war, and do a good job of connecting the various cities. He was not very good at these logistics matters, so he left them all to Xiao He to manage, and he asked him to quietly bring in the remaining gunpowder raw materials while further improving the fire oil equipment himself.

Supreme Treasure then thought of his solar electronic encyclopedia, from which he must be able to find clues about this fierce fire oil. Sure enough, as recorded above, the "fierce fire oil tank" is essentially a flame pump composed of a hydraulic cylinder as the main mechanism. "Wujing General Essentials" records, the fierce fire oil cabinet to fierce fire oil as fuel, with boiled copper for the cabinet, there are 4 feet, there are 4 reels, the head of the reel is large and the tail is thin, the tail is open a small hole, as big as millet grains, the head is a round mouth, the diameter is half an inch, the cabinet is open a hole, the reel is the mouth, the mouth has a cover, and it is the oil injection place.

The transverse pump on the pipe (original piston machinery) is connected with the oil tank, and the oil is filled with about 1.5 kg each time. The front part of the pump is equipped with a "fire tower", which contains the ignition powder. When firing, use a red-hot cone to ignite the ignition powder in the fire building, so that a high temperature zone is formed in the fire building, and at the same time, through conduction, the fuel injection channel in front of the preheating cylinder forms a preheating area, and then pull the pump hard, compress the air to the oil tank, so that when the fierce fire oil is sprayed out through the fire building, it ignites when it is hot, and a flame is sprayed from the nozzle of the fire building, which is shaped like a fire dragon, which is used to burn the enemy and burn the war equipment.

This weapon showed great power in the offensive and defensive battles of ancient cities. According to the "History of Wu Yue Bei", in the fifth year of the Later Liang Zhenming Dynasty (919), a flamethrower that sprayed fire oil with an iron cylinder appeared in the battle between the Later Liang and the Later Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the "fierce fire oil tank" was a sharp weapon in the city defense war and water war. For example, when "the enemy comes to attack the city, there are quite a lot of people in the big trench and on the Fu City" or "rush the car and wait for the advance", the defenders can put fierce fire oil on the empty board, and the people in the city are all eroded, and the water cannot be extinguished, and the lethality is greater; In water warfare, pontoons and warships can be burned. This kind of "fierce fire oil tank" is large in shape, very bulky, and mostly placed in the city. Later, a small fire-breathing appliance appeared, which replaced the heavy oil tank with a copper hoist, which was easy to carry and move, and was used in city defense and water warfare.

After learning about the historical process of the fierce fire oil tank, Supreme Treasure officially began to transform it. It makes it lighter, but it can hold more fierce oil.

Although after a period of improvement, the new fierce fire oil tank has been successful, but what is the use of not having fierce fire oil? But I didn't expect a surprise to fall from the sky.

On this day, Supreme Treasure accompanied everyone to the countryside of Henan to carry out education and condolences that were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people like our party, so as to better stabilize the emotions of the people in Henan. As a result, Supreme Treasure found that a fellow's well was covered with a huge bluestone, and weeds had grown on it, and Supreme Treasure felt very strange, so he asked the fellow.

"Old man, why don't you use this well covered with bluestone, how troublesome it is for you to go all the way to other places to fetch water!"

Who knew that the old man actually replied that it was because the water coming out of this well was black and smelly, and it could not be used at all, so he covered this well in order to prevent others from accidentally drinking it.

Black? Supreme Treasure was studying the fierce fire oil tank, and when he heard that there was black well water, he immediately found Han Xin and Li Da, two strong men, to take away the bluestone that was holding down the well, and wanted to see for himself what kind of water it was.

The old man also hurriedly stopped the Supreme Treasure, saying that this water is indeed not drinkable, when the bluestone was not covered before, there were people who had diarrhea because they accidentally ate the water in the well, this Supreme Treasure is a distinguished guest in Henan, and the old man can not be this sinner.

However, the Supreme Treasure insisted that he was not here to drink, but just to see what they were, so the old man stopped stopping him. I don't know if I don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it, this black well water, in the form of oil, is indeed oil! The Supreme Treasure also tried to ignite it, and sure enough, it was ignited, leaving behind a black powder, and he was excited.

Seeing that the Supreme Treasure could ignite this black water, the old man believed that the rumors were true, and it turned out that the people from the Lu family were all strange people. This Lu Xiaoyu is already the first strange person in Southern Chu, and it is amazing that his uncle can actually set the water on fire.

Supreme Treasure gave the matter of oil to the villagers a general science popularization, he didn't want his image to become sacred and inviolable among the people. After listening to his explanation, the people also knew nothing, anyway, they recognized the ability of the Supreme Treasure, and Henan could have such a leader, and they would be happy to be the people.

After going back, the Supreme Treasure consulted the information records about the fierce fire oil, "The First History of the New Five Dynasties Wu Family" recorded: In the third year of the late Liang Emperor Zhenming, Yang Longyan, the king of Wu, sent a messenger to the Khitan lord to send fierce fire oil, "Siege the city, use this oil to ignite the fire and burn the tower, the enemy is fertile with water, and the fire is more and more hot." In the fifth year of Zhenming, the Later Liang general He Bi led the naval army to attack the southern city of Jin Desheng, and the situation in Jin was tense. "Bian will attack Desheng Nancheng, with more than ten warships, bamboo narrow, cut off the Jin Road, Wang Shi can not cross. The arrows and stones in the city will be exhausted, and the defenders of the city will be rewarded in danger" At the critical moment, the Jin general Li Jianhe put the fire oil in the urn, and then "ordered the upper class to have an urn, accumulate wages on it, and set fire to it downstream, so as to attack its ship." Suddenly, the smoke was blazing, the Liang army broke the cable and fled, and the construction was into the southern city, and He Bi broke the siege and left. ”

The use of fierce fire oil is similar to that of Greek fire, and there is also a special injection device, which is the "fierce fire oil tank" recorded by Zeng Gongliang (999-1078) in the Northern Song Dynasty in the "General Essentials of the Wujing". But this device differed from the Greek fire device in that it had already introduced gunpowder as an ignition.

The most mature use of fierce fire oil was in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty set up a military supervision in the capital city of Bianliang, which was an institution specializing in the manufacture of weapons, with eleven works (i.e., workshops), including one of the fierce fire oil. Fierce fire oil is generally used in defense, especially in the battle of defending the city, and it is recorded in the "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian": "Repair the building and turret, hang the felt curtain, install the artillery base, set up the crossbow bed, transport the masonry and stone, apply the torch, hang the wood, prepare the fire oil, and all the defensive equipment is complete." Kang Yuzhi's "Yesterday's Dream Record" records that during the Northern Song Dynasty, the northwest frontier "dug the ground to make large pools, vertical and horizontal, in order to store fierce fire oil" to defend against foreign invasion.

The extreme BMW blocked the oil and exploited it effectively, so that the fierce fire oil tank could be used again on the battlefield in the future. This time is really the right time, the right place, this period of recuperation, gunpowder and fierce fire oil are in place, why not worry about Henan and Wu Yue can not be in his hands, slowly his mentality has changed.
