Chapter 279: Refining Black Oil (2)
Li Yao took Wang Changzhu to see the craftsman king, the craftsman king was very surprised to see Wang Changzhu coming, Li Yao, the housekeeper, the craftsman king also knew, the alcohol and oil used in the army were all from this kid's factory, so he asked: "Changzhu, aren't you in Yi County, why did you follow your Hou Ye to my firearms city, you can have more alcohol and oil, if I can't drink Hou Ye's wine, I can trouble you!" ”
Li Yao said with a smile: "Grandpa, my name is Changzhu, I have more important things for Changzhu to do now, as for the refineries and distilleries in Yi County, they have already entered the regular, Changzhu will not go back for the time being, and there will be no problems!" ”
As soon as the craftsman king heard that Li Yao had something important to do, he immediately asked, "Is there anything important that you need my help with?" ”
Li Yao nodded and said: "Changzhu and I came to ask grandpa for help this time, and the power of this thing is not inferior to gunpowder at all, so please grandpa must pay attention to it!" ”
When the craftsman king heard that this thing was so powerful, he immediately said solemnly: "I understand this, you say, what do you need me to do!" ”
Li Yao glanced at Wang Changzhu and said, "Changzhu, you come and tell grandpa what you want to make!" ”
Wang Changzhu nodded and said: "King Craftsman, in fact, you have seen the thing we made, that is, alcohol distillation utensils, but because of the particularity of this thing, I have carried out some reforms, let me tell you!" ”
Wang Changzhu said for about half an hour before he finished talking about the things to be improved, and the craftsman thought for a while and said: "The improvement method you proposed is good, I will first order the craftsman to create it, you will use it first, and you must call me to watch it when you test it, so that I can find out the fault with this thing!" ”
Wang Changzhu nodded and said, "This is nature, after you build the distillation utensils, let's start experimenting!" How long will it take you to build it? ”
The craftsman thought for a while and said, "Give me three days, I'll take the sample out, and you can come back in three days!" ”
When Li Yao heard the craftsman king say three days, he immediately said: "Grandpa, don't tire yourself, it's okay if the time is a little longer!" ”
When the craftsman king heard Li Yao's words of concern, he smiled and said, "Then you can rest assured, I know how to cherish my own body!" I let my apprentices do the tiring work, and I am doing the fine work, and I definitely can't tire myself! ”
Hearing the King of Craftsmen say this, Li Yao was relieved, now the King of Craftsmen is like a signboard, if the King of Craftsmen falls, the loss to himself will be really too great!
Without further ado, the king of craftsmen went directly to make distillation utensils, and Wang Changzhu and Li Yao returned to the house!
When Wang Changzhu arrived at the house, he was going to take the distiller master to do the experiment, they brought a set of small distillation utensils, which they specially used for experiments, the utensils were very small, and they couldn't put much black oil, so the safety increased a lot, Li Yao followed Wang Changzhu to their experimental site, Li Yao asked: "What are your fire prevention measures?" ”
Wang Changzhu said: "The fire prevention measures include water and sand, because we had an accident during the alcohol experiment, and it can't be extinguished with water, so we specially prepared a few buckets of sand this time. ”
Li Yao thought for a while and said: "The water can be taken out, this black oil is much more powerful than alcohol, the heat from burning is very large, and it can be burned on water, let's just use sand to prevent fire!" ”
Wang Changzhu said to his subordinates: "Take out the bucket, don't put it in the way!" "Wang Changzhu is very confident in Li Yao, Li Yao said that he can't use water, then he definitely can't use water!"
After everything was ready, Wang Changzhu said, "Master Hou, let's start!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "Let's start!" ”
Because the amount of distillation is relatively small, the danger is not great, and Li Yao is watching from the sidelines!
The distiller master skillfully poured the black oil into the distillation utensil, and then began to heat it to distill, Li Yao said to Wang Changzhu: "This refined oil is easy to volatilize, and the refined product is best sealed and packed!"
Wang Changzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call someone to prepare a sealed container!" ”
Because the black oil is in a metal container, Li Yao can't see the scene inside, even the extract is in a sealed container, and the extract lid is only opened after the black oil is refined, turn off the fire source, and make sure that there is no fire!
When Li Yao saw the oil that had become clear, Li Yao knew that it had succeeded, although this was far from the technology of later generations, and the purity was not high, but there was no problem with basic combustion.
Li Yao said to Wang Changzhu: "Find a sealed container to pack all this oil, and we will go out to test it later!" ”
Wang Changzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and pretend immediately!" ”
The fuel is packed in the wine jar, covered with an oilcloth, and tied with a rope several times, so you don't have to worry about the volatilization of fuel for the time being!
Everyone came to the experimental site, and Li Yao said: "Changzhu, pour fuel on the ground, and then throw a torch from afar, you can see the effect!" ”
Wang Changzhu poured the fuel on the ground, because the ground would absorb oil, so just poured a little, Wang Changzhu didn't pour it, hurriedly ran back, and said: "Master Hou, the ground has sucked all the oil in!" ”
Li Yao asked, "Have you finished pouring all the oil?" ”
Wang Changzhu shook his head and said, "Because I found that the ground was absorbing oil, I didn't dare to pour it!" ”
Li Yao looked at the wine jar, there was still half a jar of fuel left, and said, "Forget it if you don't finish pouring it, let's try it on the water later!" ”
Then Li Yao asked the guards to throw the torches that had been prepared long ago, and the land that was poured with oil suddenly burned violently, and Wang Changzhu saw such a scene and exclaimed: "The land is on fire!" ”
Although the soil absorbs the fuel, the fuel itself is still there, so the land will burn, and the momentum of the fuel is very strong, I don't know how many times more violent than the oil oil! It burned for about half an hour before the fire slowly went out, and the land was burned red!
When Wang Changzhu saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "Is this the true fire of samadhi?" Can even the land be lit? ”
Li Yao heard Wang Changzhu's words and smiled: "Let's go, let's go to a place with water, and we will surprise you when the time comes!" ”
Everyone came to the side of the pool, although it was still winter, but the water did not freeze, Li Yao said: "Changzhu, you pour fuel oil into the water!" ”
Wang Changzhu decisively poured the remaining fuel in the jar, Li Yao was too lazy to use torches and other things, he directly took out the fire fold, the fire fold did not have an open flame, only sparks, Li Yao threw the fire fold into the pool full of fuel oil, and the pool suddenly burned violently, although everyone was prepared, but they were still taken aback when they encountered this scene!
