Chapter 166: Fuel

Chu He walked into this blacksmith shop, the outside is the façade, selling all kinds of crafted weapons, and the inside is the forging place, seeing Chu He walking in, the shopkeeper also greeted him, and said: "This son, what kind of weapon do you like?" The weapons we have here are not the best in the whole continent, at least they are the best in Star Luo City. ”

Chu He nodded and took out a few drawings, which were the various accessories of the steam engine.

The steam engine is mainly composed of cylinder, base, piston, crank connecting rod mechanism, slide valve distribution mechanism, speed regulating mechanism and flywheel.

As long as they can build these things, he can do the rest himself.

"It's ······" The store is also confused, what is this? With all the bells and whistles, I don't know what the use of creating it is.

But no one is going to get along with money, is there? The shopkeeper also understood that Chu He must be the eldest son who came out with the money to lose.

"Childe, with all due respect, what's the use of your thing?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but persuade that the men who struck iron were more upright.

"Of course it works, when will it be built?" Chu He asked lightly, after all, this thing, if he hadn't studied history, he would definitely not know what it was.

"Five days, Childe will take it in five days." Looking at the things on the drawing, the shopkeeper stretched out five fingers and said.

"Five days? No problem. Chu He also happily took out a golden soul coin, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "This is a deposit, I'll come back in five days." ”

In five days, I was able to prepare some fuel.

That is, ethanol.

However, if the alcohol is not enough, it needs to be purified.

The only way to do that is distillation!

However, this distillation method already existed in the pre-Qin era, and I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

"Is it already arranged?" Seeing that Chu He came back so soon, Bibi Dong asked curiously.

For what Chu He said, the carriage that can walk on its own, Bibi Dong has a great interest!

"It's arranged, we'll pick it up in five days, now it's time for us to go and prepare the other things, and you'll be able to see it then." Chu He smiled slightly, five days, still busy.

Mr. Chu He found a spacious house with a courtyard to live in, and they didn't live in Xingluo, so it was enough to rent a house.

Then Chu He took Bibi Dong and started a big purchase.

Basically, most of the places that sell alcohol in Xingluo City were bought by Chu He.

A jar of wine was placed in the courtyard by Chu He, and the courtyard, which was originally slightly spacious, became narrow.

"Really, what are you buying so much wine for?! All are the lowest wines. Bibi Dong looked at the drinks piled up in about eighty percent of the courtyard and couldn't help but complain.

"Ahem, of course it's useful." Chu He touched his nose, who knows how much alcohol purity these have? He wants to distill alcohol, and he must not be short of alcohol.

"I'm going to see what it does!" Bibi Dong's grievances are quite big, he originally came to Xingluo City to play, but today he spent half a day doing coolies for Chu He.

"Don't be angry, it's a big deal to wait for me to build the car, and I'll play with you." Chu He looked at Bibi Dong, who was full of resentment, and couldn't help but laugh.

"That's what you said, don't go back." Bibi Dong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.

"No regrets, absolutely no regrets!" Chu He waved his hand, isn't it just a steam car, the operation is very simple, can Bibi Dong still drive the car into the ditch?

And the speed of the steam car is much faster than that of the horse-drawn carriage, after all, the soul beasts of this world are not so easy to tame, it can be said that the soul beasts of this world and humans are incompatible.

With Chu He's words, the previous resentment suddenly dissipated a lot, and he watched Chu He squatting there with great interest.

"What are you doing here?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Make fuel." Chu He poured a jar of wine directly into the still, to be honest, industrial alcohol can actually be brewed by itself, but where did Chu He get so much time? I had to use the distillation method.

I don't know if these inferior wines will be able to get the fuel he needs.

The wood was slowly burning in the furnace, wisps of black smoke were slowly rising, and the wine in the rectifier had begun to boil, of course, it was the alcohol that was boiling now.

The boiling point of alcohol is 78.5 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, so distillation methods can obtain distilled spirits.

That is, ethanol, ethanol can be used as fuel for steam engines, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and the cost is extremely low.

In the future, it only needs to brew industrial alcohol, and with a little processing, it can be directly turned into fuel, which is perfect.

As time passed, the alcohol in a jar of wine was soon evaporated, and when the rest of the water was tasted, there was only a faint taste of wine, and the rest was undoubtedly watery.

The alcohol was collected, all the rest was poured out, and the cycle continued, and soon, all the liquor was distilled by the Chu River, leaving only ten jars of alcohol.

Chu He calculated carefully, and he bought at least four or five hundred jars of wine, and the alcohol concentration in it was very low, some of them were only about five percent, after all, the Douluo Continent was equivalent to ancient China at this moment.

It's even slightly inferior.

After collecting the fuel, Chu He bought two carriages next, of course, without asking for horses.

This kind of carriage is still quite good, and Chu He turned around and dismantled this thing.

It took a day to distill the fuel, and for the rest of the day, Chu He was assembling the shell of the car, and how to make the steam engine drive the car to calculate the approximate speed of the steam engine.

Manufacturing parts, remodeling the car, it was completed in one day, and the rest of the time, Chu He was calculating the power, according to the steam engine he asked to build, the speed of the steam car, is about 200 kilometers per hour.

That is, in one hour, you can run about 200,000 meters.

It can be said that in the Douluo Continent, this is already an epoch-making thing, and soul masters may not be able to run 200,000 meters in an hour, except for high-level soul masters, of course.

However, even if it is a high-level soul master, it is impossible to maintain the same speed at all times.

Of course, the most important thing is the brake device, Chu He wanted to build the first steam car, but he didn't want the first car accident either.

However, the steam car is easy to operate, and there is nothing like the later generations, loosening the clutch, stepping on the accelerator or something.

All you need to do is refuel, or you can pump air into it, control the direction, and hit the brakes.

Time flashed, and five days passed.

"I'm going to get the steam engine back today, and then we can start the test run." Chu He walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the blacksmith shop.

Tsk, this is the first step to change Douluo!

It is of epoch-making significance.
