Wang Changzhu couldn't believe it and said, "Master Hou, can you light the fire without an open flame?" And it's still on the water, which is incredible! ”

Li Yao smiled: "Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" What is there to doubt about this! ”

After Wang Changzhu saw the power of fuel, he said to Li Yao: "Master Hou, with this fuel, we will definitely be able to resist the attack of the Liang Dynasty army this time!" Master Hou, don't worry, these masters are our own people, and the confidentiality measures are absolutely good! ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Well, you just need to know this, when extracting fuel, you must pay attention to safety, if it is not safe, it is better not to extract it, these people are our elite, I don't want to lose them, understand?" ”

Wang Changzhu nodded and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, I will definitely worry about safety, once an accident occurs, our losses will be great, it turns out that when we extracted alcohol, we have already suffered losses, and we will definitely learn a lesson this time!" ”

Three days passed in a flash, and the king of craftsmen also made the distillation container, and the king of craftsmen once said that he should be called together during the experiment, so after the container was built, the king of craftsmen came over with a distillation container!

Wang Changzhu's design is very simple, that is, simply put the distilled extract in another house.

Let the fuel not have a chance to see the fire source at all, this method is indeed more effective, at least in this era, it is more practical!

Wang Changzhu asked the craftsman to quickly assemble the distillation container, because the distillation container was relatively large, so the assembly was slow, but with the guidance of the craftsman king, the progress was still guaranteed.

It took about a day to assemble and commission.

The next morning, the experiment will begin, and this set of distillation equipment will be made at the beginning, and if the experiment is successful, several sets will be mass-produced and used together.

At first, Li Yao really didn't want to put the distillation equipment in the black oil lake, but the transportation conditions there were too poor, and if the barrels of crude oil were moved back, it would be too wasteful of cost, and the black oil could not refine much fuel oil, and it would waste a lot of time and money just for transportation!

After the masters added black oil to the distillation container, Li Yao said to the craftsman king who was watching on a plate: "Grandpa, let's not move, this place is too dangerous!"

The craftsman king looked at Li Yao and said with a smile: "What, Yao'er is afraid?"

Li Yao shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I'm a soldier, how can I be afraid of death?" But you are our mainstay, your old body is not as good as our young people, if something happens, how can I explain to Qing'er! ”

The craftsman king smiled and said, "Yao'er, don't worry, I'm still very confident in what I've made, what's more, didn't you do an experiment two days ago?" There were no surprises."

Li Yao hurriedly said: "But the capacity of our experiments is small, even if it is dangerous, it will not hurt our lives!"

The craftsman king patted Li Yao's shoulder and said, "Yao'er, don't worry, I'll just stand at the door and watch, only by watching them test with my own eyes can I find out what else I need to improve!"

Li Yao couldn't resist the craftsman king, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, grandpa, you must pay attention!"

Then Li Yao whispered to the guards: "You two are standing beside the craftsman king, and if you feel that the situation is not right, you will immediately knock the craftsman king down and protect the craftsman king's safety, do you know?"

The two guards nodded and said, "Understood!"

The craftsman king looked at Li Yao's two guards standing beside him one on the left and one on the right, the muscles on his body were tense, and he looked like he was about to make a move at any time, smiled, and didn't speak!

At this time, the master has already added the black oil, and then began to put in the firewood, the heating period is the most dangerous, but the quality of the distillation container made by the king of craftsmen is indeed not to say, everything is going well, after the heating is completed, the danger factor of continuous distillation is further expanded, but the king of craftsmen is not in a hurry at all, Li Yao is so confident that the king of craftsmen is so confident, and he is much more relieved, until the distillation of this furnace is completed, there is no problem with the distillation container, and everyone is relieved!

Then the masters went to another room, opened the storage container, and looked at the bright and clear fuel inside, Li Yao said: "Hurry up and put it up, seal it, don't volatilize!"

The craftsman king looked at the fuel oil in the wine jar and said, "Yao'er, I haven't seen the power of this thing, and I don't know if it's true that Wang Changzhu said that the samadhi true fire burns everything!"

Li Yao said with a smile: "Grandpa, it's not as exaggerated as Changzhu said, but its flammability is indeed high, and it catches fire when it encounters fire, since grandpa wants to see it, then I'll take you to test it!"

The craftsman king nodded and said, "Then let's go!"

Li Yao took the craftsman king to test it, and the craftsman king was shocked and said: "There are really things in the world that can burn everything!"

Li Yao smiled: "Grandpa, it's not so exaggerated, if you have a deep understanding of this thing in the future, you probably won't be surprised, but if this thing is used as a weapon, it is indeed a sharp weapon!"

The craftsman king nodded and said: "Fuel is indeed a sharp weapon, it can be turned into a big killer weapon as soon as it is modified, and this thing is not easy to extinguish, just get on it, and it is not easy to defend!"

That's true, I didn't expect that there would be such a big discovery after going around this time, with this thing, even if the Liang Dynasty army poured out, we don't have to be afraid!

The test of fuel was successful, Li Yao was going to make fuel in large quantities, as for the hundreds of bandits who were captured, they started the work of filling black oil, Li Yao promised them that they only needed to work for three years, including food and shelter, and an income of five taels of silver a year, if they wanted to escape, there was only a dead end!

Li Yao's conditions for them are already very generous, at least they have given them money, put it on others, and the captives only have the life of free work!

As for the other people in the village, when they saw that the black oil filling had such an income, they also asked Chen Erwa to intercede, saying that they also wanted to do it!

Chen Erwa told Li Yao what the villagers thought, and Li Yao said: "It's no problem, each villager's monthly salary is 700 Wen, and it will end in January!"

Chen Erwa said gratefully: "Thank you, General!"

Originally, it was not too much to give one or two pieces of silver a month for such dirty work, but the monthly salary of a soldier was only 800 Wen, and in this era, the importance of a soldier was much higher than that of a farmer, so it could only be tentatively set at 700 Wen!

It's just that 700 Wen has already made them very happy, except for the old and weak, women and children, the young and middle-aged have gone to fill the oil!

It's just that the old and weak women and children are not idle, and now there is no spring ploughing, so they cook for those people, and the bandits and the people in the village have thousands of people, and Li Yao did not treat these old and weak women and children badly, and each person who cooks is paid 500 wen a month!
