Chapter 66: Asphalt
Put the rice bag in the unheated refrigerator, take the noodle bag to the kitchen and pour some white noodles in a few basins. The pen www.biquge.info opened a few bags of yeast with scissors and sprinkled them in a basin, and poured a smaller amount than half a bag of sugar into one basin.
After washing your hands, pour spring water into the basin and put it on the heater after covering it with a basin or lid, and now the temperature of the heating is more than 20 degrees Celsius, which can also speed up the fermentation of the dough.
After washing off the noodles on his hands, he dried his hands with a towel and went to the warehouse with firewood and coal, filled some coal lumps and coal noodles in a bucket, and poured them into the boiler. The last thing to pour is the coal surface to suppress the flames, reduce the contact of oxygen in the coal team, and keep the temperature of the furnace fire from being too high.
Zhang Tao returned to the house, took off his gloves and washed his hands, sat down in front of the computer and called up the robot's monitoring to check the situation of refining asphalt.
Zhang Tao remotely controlled the robot to stop adding oil to the stove pit, scooped out a little liquid in the pool with a molten iron scoop, and poured it on the floor of the room without cement floor to cool the liquid.
After a while, the remote control robot came to the cooling heavy oil liquid with the molten iron scoop, saw that the heavy oil liquid had become solid, gently touched the solid heavy oil with the molten iron scoop, and saw that the surface was not deformed, it seems that the asphalt was initially refined, and let the robot grab the asphalt block and put it back into the pool.
The program was set on the robot's software, so that the robot could control the temperature in the pool at 150 degrees, so that the asphalt in the pool would always remain in a liquid state, and the chemical reagents bought online would arrive tomorrow and the finished asphalt could be made.
After an hour, the water tank in the yard should also be dry, Zhang Tao came to the yard and turned the tank over to see that the water stains in the water tank were dry, put several pots of dough into it, cut the dough with a kitchen knife, and the bread would expand along the knife edge when it was baked, and then carried the water tank to the boiler room, put the bottom of the water tank from the furnace mouth of the boiler, and the upper port was too big to stay outside.
When I got to the house, I took a large iron basin and fastened it to the small water tank to prevent the smoke and dust from entering. Zhang Tao came to the boiler room from time to time to check the situation of the bread in the water tank, after more than ten minutes, the outer layer of the bread was baked a little burnt, and the inside of the bread should still be raw, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Tao came to the boiler room with cotton gloves to take the big basin away, and saw that the outer layer of the bread had become black charcoal-like, and this time the bread should be completely baked.
I took the small water tank out of the boiler, and saw that the enamel on the outside of the water tank was roasted by the fire, but when Zhang Tao bought a house, they sent a few water tanks, and when the time came, it would be good to take another one, and this water tank would be used for bread in the future.
Close the door of the furnace, and move the water tank to the shade of the yard on the ground to let the temperature of the water tank drop a little. After returning to the bedroom and sitting for five minutes, he went out into the courtyard with a kitchen knife, lifted aside the iron basin covering the water tank, and opened the crust of the bread, which was estimated to be three or four centimeters thick.
The white bread was revealed, and a rich aroma of bread with hot air wafted out, Zhang Tao dug a small piece with a kitchen knife and put it in his mouth, it was very fragrant! Then he pressed the cut of the bread with a kitchen knife, covered the iron basin, and moved the water tank to the barn.
Zhang Tao returned to the bedroom to change a set of clothes, washed the clothes he was wearing today and dried them on a rope in the yard, drove the truck out, locked the gate and drove in the direction of the gas station.
There is a stone monument with the number of kilometers on the side of the road, and Zhang Tao wrote down the kilometers of the stone monument in the forest farm. After driving for a while, I came to a dirt road, which is a section of natural yellow sand, and there is no dust after the car, which is better than asphalt roads and cement roads, and this section of the road does not need to be paved with sidewalks.
After driving for half an hour, the truck arrived in front of the gas station, Zhang Tao wrote down the kilometers on the stone tablet and calculated a total of 12 kilometers, of which 3 kilometers of dirt roads could be paved without paving, and the remaining only 9 kilometers.
The sidewalks on both sides add up to one meter, and the road in the middle is four meters, and nine kilometers of pavement is equivalent to paving 1.25 kilometers of road. Zhang Tao plans to pave the sidewalks higher to prevent cars from occupying the sidewalks, and in some places the original roads are very wide, while the newly built cement roads are still four meters wide, Zhang Tao plans to widen the remaining roads to improve the utilization rate of the road.
In this way, the equivalent of 3 kilometers of road has to be paved, one kilometer of asphalt is 650 tons, and three kilometers of asphalt is 1950 tons of asphalt. No wonder I had to close the sidewalk, it turned out that the cost was so expensive, even though it was a cement road, cement was also relatively expensive.
Zhang Tao also understands that the village road is free of charge without a toll station, which is a money-losing car, and it would be good to be able to repair the road. Highways with toll booths, such as highways, not only have sidewalks, but also sanitation workers sweeping the floor and garden workers planting flowers.
I didn't stop at the gas station when I walked back, for fear that my relatives would give me money, and I would be embarrassed to do it or not, and it would be fine after a while. After returning to the forest farm villa, park the truck in the yard and lock the gate, go back to the bedroom and use the computer to call up the robot's monitoring to see the status of the asphalt pool.
Nearly 2,000 tons of asphalt, with a price of about 2,000 yuan a ton if you buy it, Zhang Tao can't think of it. Fortunately, we have an oil field, and it doesn't cost anything to refine asphalt. Now one pond can refine eight tons of asphalt in a day, and now all the pools add up to five, and if it is refined in twenty-four hours, five pools can refine eighty tons of asphalt.
Zhang Tao calculated that even if all the pools were used, and the time for the machine to cool down, it would take 50 days to get 2,000 tons of asphalt. It's a bit too slow, you have to build some more pools, you can build four pools in one space, and then blow up five spaces with explosives, you can cut the time in half, and the robot has to do a few more.
It's a beautiful idea, but in fact, I realize that there are many things that need to be prepared. Zhang Tao purchased some equipment for making robots and some chemical reagents for refining asphalt on the Internet, and also purchased electronic components, electronic equipment and some materials on a website that sells electronic components in Beijing, plus the things he bought online yesterday cost a total of nearly 100,000 yuan.
Among them, a drone is close to 10,000 yuan, and some other things are not cheap, Zhang Tao put the drone in the yard, and then took out more than a dozen explosive bags in the freezer and put them in the bag, and then took the bag to the yard, carefully tied the bag to the drone chassis, opened the underground hole in the warehouse, and remotely controlled the drone to slowly fly to the underground space.
