Chapter 113: The Birth of Oil

A month later, when Lu Bu landed on Yizhou Island, he was disappointed for no reason.

What did he see, it was primitives!

All of them are holding stone axes and sticks, how to fight him.

You must know that Lu Bu's campaign this time was a joint move of the navy, land and air forces.

Hey, it's all like shooting mosquitoes with a cannon.

It seems that his real enemies are still the Northern Grasslands, the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, Wusun, Guishan, Dawan, Tang Xuan, Shen Poison, and many other powerful countries such as Rome and German, which are known by everyone as Great Qin.

At least, the Xianbei tribes, the Xiongnu, the Roman Empire, the Germans and others of this era were still very fierce.

The Roman Empire, for example, has now taken over the entire Mediterranean. The territory is the largest in the world.

Although Octavian the Roman Emperor is dead, the Roman Empire is still very powerful for a while.

These powerful countries will be the targets of Lu Bu in the future.

As for the current Yizhou Island, there is no pressure.

The next thing that needs to be paid attention to is just that the water and soil are not adapted, and various epidemics can be.

Because in history, Wei Wen attacked Taiwan, and such symptoms appeared. Due to the lack of medicine, quite a lot of people died at that time.

even caused Wei Wen and Zhuge to go back and be beheaded by Sun Quan's order.

And this, Lu Bu has long been ready.

If you want to go on an expedition, how can you not consider the problem of adapting to the water and soil.

Although Lu Bu is violent, he will never be an irrational tyrant.

When his subordinates make mistakes, in his opinion, they are not thoughtful enough and do not do enough. Blindly blaming his subordinates is not a qualified king at all.

It's like a leader, no matter what happens, you have to take responsibility for yourself first.

Therefore, Lu Bu will do his best to do the best in all kinds of preparations.

It can be said that now all the scientific researchers under Lu Bu's command. The highest status and the most strictly protected are still the two medical bosses Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

Lu Bu did not continue to conquer Yizhou, even if he personally commanded the battlefield, it would only be a murder.

Therefore, the follow-up work was handed over to Guan Cheng and the rest of the ministers.

All of them have experience in conquering the Japanese kingdom, and they are already quite proficient.

Lu Bu, on the other hand, took a big ship and came to a small island in the northeast of Yizhou.

This is a very small island, but Lu Bu personally boarded the island and planted a bright red flag of Huaguo with his own hands.

At this moment, the guards were puzzled: "Your Majesty, this island is so small, there is nothing on the island, why did the king come in person?" ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "If this king tells you that there is a lot of oil around this small island, will you be shocked or surprised?" ”

What the!

How did the guards not be surprised: "The king is saying that there is oil under this sea that the king has been looking for!" ”

Lu Bu shook his head: "Yes, it's just that with our current technology, we can't drill at all." But this king wants to occupy this territory first as the territory of our Chinese kingdom, and from now on, this island will be called ......"

I saw Lu Bu's momentum sink and shouted: "Diao Fish Island! ”

"Diao Fish Island?" The guards were puzzled, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts: "Is it used for diao fish!" ”

Now that he came out, Lu Bu didn't want to go back so soon. So Lu Bu took two big ships and dozens of small boats all the way to the west.

Dongsha Islands, Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, Nansha Islands, until the Riau Islands (Singapore), Lu Bu stopped.

Lu Bu did not go to the mainland, because Lu Bu did not know the current strength of this realm.

The main purpose of his trip was to determine the navigation line.

Because in the future, this is definitely the most important and important shipping lane.

Of course, on the islands of all sizes on the way, Lu Bu planted bright red Chinese flags.

There are no people on these islands, and many of them don't even have animals.

But with this flag, it means that it is his territory, and it is the first time he has landed on this territory.

Then, LΓΌ Bu returned to Xuzhou.

The occupation of Yizhou Island is only a matter of time.

Lu Bu believes that with his material support, it will take three or five years to develop Yizhou, and then he can start to feed him.

As for the later independence, hehe, with him, don't even think about it.

And when Lu Bu returned to Xuzhou, a shocking news made Lu Bu extremely happy.

Oil, oil, oil is finally born.

Of the 100 wells drilled in Gwangling County, oil was finally drilled.

And when Lu Bu held a hand of jet-black oil in his own hand, Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed.

And seeing Lu Bu so crazy, everyone present was stunned.

This king, can't he be crazy with a lost heart!

It's just black water that can be ignited, and how useful it can be. Compared to coal, it is not comparable at all.

After the excitement, Lu Bu immediately ordered: "Ship all the oil to the refinery!" ”

Yes, the refinery Lu Bu had already ordered Chen Deng to build.

And this time, Lu Bu naturally had to personally take charge of refining the technology.

It's all handed over to the people below, and if it doesn't explode, there will be a fire.

Although Lu Bu had never refined oil, he still knew the general process.

Quite simply, it's the steam-slip method.

Because the boiling points of various substances in petroleum are different, they can be directly selected by evaporation.

For example, the boiling point of gasoline is 30 to 200 degrees, and diesel is 180 to 400 degrees, and then the temperature is constantly raised, and then all the substances are constantly separated.

The follow-up work, of course, is to add some additives to purify various substances more thoroughly.

Finally, of course, there is the scum. But even the scum is absolutely useful. That's asphalt, which can be used to pave roads.

The products that oil can make are simply innumerable.

Its value is not comparable to that of coal.

Lu Bu did not explain too much, only when many products are created in the future, everyone will know the preciousness of oil.

As a special mechanical engineer, not to mention building cars, he has built airplanes.

A small internal combustion engine is not simple.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, and the initial refining work is quite difficult.

All kinds of processes and all kinds of safety cannot be explained in one or two sentences.

It can be said that Lu Bu once again devoted himself to scientific research projects.

At this time, Cao Cao and the three Yuan brothers had a hot fight.

Liu Bei had already begun to enter Shu, and, as in history, borrowed Nanjun from Sun Quan as a route for his march.

As for whether it will be returned, hehe.

Lao Tzu borrowed the land with his ability, why should he pay it back.

Just kidding, Liu Bei Group didn't borrow anything.

For example, Zhuge Liang, Jingzhou is borrowed, arrows are borrowed, Dongfeng is borrowed, which is not borrowed.

But have you ever repaid what you borrowed, have you repaid it, have you repaid it?

No.

And Sun Quan had canals to dig, steam engines to develop, and Shanyue and Jiaozhou to be rectified, so there was no way to start a war for a while.

In this way, Lu Bu can engage in scientific research with peace of mind.

As long as there is gasoline and diesel, it is not enough for him!

Half a year passed quickly, and the coldest winter of the year ushered in.

And when Lu Bu personally shook the first diesel engine, the whole audience shook.

"This, this, this, this is incredible!"

"Is this a diesel engine, it's really more powerful than a steam engine!"

"Just kidding, look how loud it screams, can it be bad!"

"Mmmm, that's amazing! The king is worthy of being the king, and he can create such a divine thing! ”

"The king has become a martial artist, and he will dominate the world for thousands of years!"

"God bless me Great China!"
