Ma Hanshan, who was almost unqualified in chemistry in his previous life, certainly did not know how to refine oil. However, fortunately, the place where he was a big man in his previous life happened to have an oil refining company, and he happened to have done a little good for the oil refining company. So, he visited oil refining companies and listened to the people in the companies briefly explain how to refine oil, so he knew that kerosene could also be steamed from crude oil like steamed wine.

He remembered that the people at the company told him that whether it was gasoline, diesel, kerosene, or other oil products, they could be "steamed" from crude oil, but in a different way. The simplest atmospheric distillation is really similar to steamed wine, except that the temperature of the distilled oil is higher, and the cooling tower is slightly different. The cooling tower for steaming wine has only one outlet, while the distillation of oil has to be made into a stepped outlet, and several different products are fractionated at the same time.

What products are distilled by atmospheric distillation? Mahanshan actually forgot. However, he thinks it doesn't matter, what is divided, and when the time comes, won't he know when he tries it? He felt that the most important thing was that he actually remembered the entire number of outlets of the general cold tower, and he remembered that there were six outlets, the top one was steam, and the rest were liquid.

Alas, I knew that I studied chemistry well in my last life, so isn't it a god-like existence now? Forget it, let's get some black oil and go back to study slowly, Ma Hanshan felt sorry for himself in his heart, regretting that he didn't study hard in his previous life.

He has a good mentality, and he studies it slowly, but this thing is not like anything else, and if it is not done well, it will explode.

According to Ma Hanshan's request, they had made a diversion groove on the "black mud" platform, and the black oil that came out of the center finally no longer overflowed to the four sides, but flowed from the diversion groove they had made to a collection pit they dug.

"Young master, the flow is too slow, it may not be much by night." There is not much black oil coming out of the "black mud pond", it is very slow, and Ma Hanshan wants to fill the water bladder they carry, and it really has to wait until tomorrow.

Just kidding, in the world of Mahan Mountain's previous life, oil extraction had to be drilled deep into the earth's crust to be extracted, and if there were a lot of automatic popping up here, probably this "pot bottom" flat land would have become a long-burning "fire cave" long ago.

However, both can come out automatically, the oil must be in the superficial layer, and when the time comes, it will be mined. Ma Hanshan settled down again, and he wondered if he could get a few human or animal-powered kowtowers to extract oil at that time?

The principle of the kowtow machine should be the same as that of the hand-cranked water pump, and Ma Hanshan is very confident that he can make it. Besides, it doesn't matter whether the head machine is as bad as the hand-cranked water pump, the important thing is that the water pump can pump the oil up.

Ma Hanshan is really a bit "unlearned", the crude oil here can automatically rise to the ground, and the pressure below must be not small, maybe, when he cleans up the sealed soil on the ground, maybe these black oil that can change the world will spew out like Baotu Spring.

"Liu Heizai, you can take a few people back to the village." Ma Hanshan found that the black oil that flowed out automatically was indeed too slow, so he simply sent people back to the village to get some bottles and cans, and those who stayed behind could go to the Wild Wolf Valley to investigate first.

"Back to the village? What are you doing when you go back to the village? Liu Heizai was at a loss.

"The young master asked you to take someone back to get something with black oil." When it comes to brains, Ah Niu is definitely smarter than Liu Heizai.

"Yes, just go back and get a bucket or can, you take the four of you back, the others and I will go to explore the Wild Wolf Valley first, and when you come back from the stockade, we should also come out of the Wild Wolf Valley."

"Okay, now the owner of the village." Liu Heizai's order to Ma Hanshan was absolutely executed.

"It's too late, return to the place where you camped last night, early tomorrow morning, you take people back to the village, and I will take people over the mountains and into the valley." Ma Hanshan glanced at the sun in the sky and said.

"Okay, go back to where you camped last night." Liu Heizai waved his hand to let everyone pack up their things.

"Oppose, young master, I object." Ah Niu said suddenly.

"Hehe, Ah Niu, what are you against?" Ma Hanshan thought it was funny, this guy actually objected.

"I object to the young master taking so few people into the Wild Wolf Valley, it is a place where fierce beasts haunt, Brother Black Boy took four people back, and there are only seven people left, it's too risky." Ah Niu has to think about the safety of the young master, and he doesn't care about the rest.

"Seven people are quite a lot, besides, I think the Wild Wolf Valley is in vain, if it is full of fierce beasts, why is there only a mountain away, and there is no trace of a beast here? The mountain is not very high, and the beast can turn over it at any time. "Mahanshan has been paying attention to this issue since yesterday.

If the mountain is very high, wild beasts such as tigers and wolves will not climb over the mountain, but this mountain is not so high, why is there no trace of fierce beasts here? Perhaps, there were beasts in Wolf Valley a long time ago.

"In short, I'm against it." Ah Niu knew that he couldn't talk about the young master, but he had to have his own position.

"Objections are invalid, let's go, let's all go back to the place where we camped last night, and then prepare dinner." What Ma Hanshan decided, how could Ah Niu change.

Ma Hanshan really doesn't know what is at stake, and when he encounters wolves in the wild, especially when he encounters hungry wolves, seven ordinary people with only waist knives and wooden sticks are definitely extremely dangerous.

After another night, before the next day, everyone divided into two roads, all the way back to the village, all the way over the wolf mountain.

"Wait." Liu Heizai was just about to set off, when Ma Hanshan suddenly stopped them.

"Owner, what's the matter?" Liu Heizai was at a loss.

"The place where the black oil was found should be kept secret, and no one should be told about it, not even your own family." Ma Hanshan said solemnly.

It doesn't matter now, but when kerosene is refined in the future, black oil will be valuable, so the place where black oil is found must be firmly in your own hands.

"Yes, we won't divulge the location of the Black Mudpool." Liu Heizai and others think that the owner of the village is very funny, this kind of thing, others are still rare?

"If you say it doesn't count, swear by it, swear to heaven on your knees. Ah Niu, you have to swear too. Ma Hanshan was solemn.

People in this world are absolutely serious about their oaths, and they will not swear easily. Therefore, if he kneels and swears a poisonous oath to the sky, Ma Hanshan believes them.

"Huh? Master....... Ah Niu didn't expect that he would have to swear.

"Yes, we swear." Ah Niu was very smart and knew that the young master wanted him to set an example, so he only hesitated for a moment and immediately knelt down.

Everyone knelt down when they saw Ah Niu, and they also knelt down with Liu Heizai.

As a result, several militiamen and villagers, together with Ah Niu, knelt on the ground, raised their hands to look at the sky, and solemnly swore to keep the location of the world's first "oil well" secret.

After swearing a poisonous oath, the two groups of people finally hit the road.

……

Wolf Mountain should be a medium-height mountain in the Guolid Mountain Range, which is far worse than the height of Yun Mountain. However, Wolf Mountain is definitely the largest mountain in the Guolid Mountains.

This mountain is very characteristic, from the direction of Mahan Mountain, the slope is very steep, but when you turn to the other side of the mountain, the slope is much gentler.

Climb to the top of the mountain and turn to the other side downhill, and below you will be Wolf Valley. The Wild Wolf Valley is in a northwest-southeast direction, and the place where Mahan Mountain he turned over is exactly the innermost part of the Wild Wolf Valley.

"Turn around, and go down to the valley on the east side, where there are no trees." Mahansan said after scanning the valley with a telescope from the top of the mountain.

"Young Master, why is there such a lush forest growing on the western slope of the Wild Wolf Valley, while the eastern slope is only sparsely populated with small trees, and overgrown with white hairy grass?" Ah Niu gave Ma Hanshan another chance to perform.

"It's very simple, the soil is not suitable for big trees, the soil over there should be very thin... Or very shallow... Or maybe it's ...... high levels of metallic elements. Ma Hanshan suddenly thought of something, and ordered, "On the eastern slope of the mountain, spread the people apart, and show me the stones and soil on the mountain, and tell me immediately if I see anything special." ”

Going into the mountains to find treasure is not only to find a few herbs or tea, but also minerals.

In the world of Mahanshan's previous life, many places, a county, a city, and even a province and a country were rich and powerful by mineral resources. He hoped that if he found some gold, silver, copper and iron ore in this world, it would be useless to find other mines, even if he knew how to wash and refine ore. Of course, if you find high-quality coal mines, phosphate rocks or something, Mahanshan still knows how to use them. However, there shouldn't be anything like that in this Wolf Valley.

"Yes......." Everyone responded to Mahan Mountain, and then dispersed into four groups to search the eastern slope of Wild Wolf Valley.

"Ouch... Fucking fell to death, why are the rocks here so loose....... Mahan Mountain was looking at the rocks on the slope of the mountain, when suddenly a cow not far away stumbled and fell, and rolled to a grass nest below on the hillside before stopping.

The hillside was gentle, and overgrown with weeds, so it didn't hurt to fall, so Mahanshan just glanced at Ah Niu and continued to look down at the dug stones.

Ma Hanshan was not good at chemistry in his previous life, and he didn't understand geology at all. People who understand geology, see the flowing water under the mountain, the vegetation on the mountain can basically determine the general soil category of the mountain, and then look at the surface soil to know, what are the types of minerals in this mountain, only when it is necessary to analyze the specific content and find the specific vein, will dig and dig in the east and west, and even drill, that is like Mahan Mountain.

"Young Master... Master....... Ma Hanshan didn't want to pay attention to Ah Niu, Ah Niu just called him.

"What are you doing, you're not a child, you have to find your parents if you fall?" Ma Han didn't raise his head and said impatiently.

Young master, I'm a child, okay, if you don't take care of me, you just want me to take care of you? Ma Hanshan shook his head and secretly complained about Ah Niu.

"Young Master... Master... Yes... There are good stones... Good stone ....... Ah Niu continued to call, but his voice was suppressed.

Ah Niu rolled into a collapsed grass nest, got up with a curse and took out two stones from the grass that were clattering his buttocks, and was about to throw them away, but suddenly found that the stones would flash, and there was more than one point of flashing.

He was really an orphan who couldn't even write his name, but even so, he had heard of what gold was like, and the stars on the stones would shine against the sun, and he immediately thought that it was most likely gold. Even if it's not, a stone that can shine, the young master will definitely like it.

Therefore, he shouted like a thief.
