"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

The Zhu Biao brothers also looked at Chu Ze incomprehensibly.

Chu Ze said: "Because before that, we have to separate the oil first." ”

"Why separate?" Zhu Chun's face was full of doubts.

"Isn't it straightforward to use stone paint?" Zhu Fan was even more puzzled.

Zhu Chun nodded.

He had seen in the classics that stone paint was used in the fierce fire oil tank, and this thing could also be used for lighting, so it only needed to be mined before it could be used directly.

This so-called "separation" is the first time Zhu Chun has heard of it.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was born as a cowherd, even if he is an emperor now and has read a few books, he has never heard that this stone paint can be separated.

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Chu Ze, how to separate this stone paint?" ”

"Yes, after separation, does it have an impact on lethality?" Zhu Di is most concerned about the lethality of weapons.

If after separation, the lethality is not as good as before, then why bother.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Zhu Di's question very much, and said directly: "You just tell us directly, whether it is better to separate this thing or not." ”

Which one is better, he chooses which.

"Of course it's better if it's separated!"

There are no other options for this option.

During the Song Dynasty, those people used crude oil, but they did not master the technology of separation at that time.

Now that there is, why use crude oil?

Crude oil is too wasteful to use, and it can also consume it faster.

The oil that I would have liked to use for 20 Chinese New Year's Eve years may run out in a year or two.

So what is he doing with those weapons?

Hang it on the wall to see?

Since you want to do it, you naturally have to do your best to do it.

Chu Ze beckoned to everyone, gathered them all to his side, and discussed head to head: "After this oil is separated, not only will it become more widely used, but it can also slow down consumption, the previous methods are too wasteful, according to me, we can not only have oil, but also get gasoline, diesel, asphalt, if we find a suitable method, lubricating oil is not impossible to make." So many products, and the lethality of gasoline is no worse than that of crude oil. ”

That pile of oil and that oil, Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache when he heard it.

But he understood the latter sentence.

Chu Ze said that after the stone paint is separated, not only will it not affect the lethality of the weapon, but it will also have a lot of oil.

That's a lot of good things.

Don't hurry up and say yes!

"And how do you separate that?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"It's easy, just get a still."

He can't do those majors, but it's still okay to be simple.

Chu Ze was very confident.

Zhu Chun immediately asked: "What is a still?" ”

He felt that his brain was a little insufficient today, and he couldn't understand most of what Chu Ze said.

Chu Ze looked at him sideways and explained, "Have you ever seen cooking?" ”

I've never seen it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son nodded: "I have done it again." ”

Not now, though.

"Have you ever seen the soda on the lid of the pot when you cook rice?" Chu Ze asked again.

Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son nodded in unison, and their movements were as if they had been discussed.

Chu Ze continued: "In my time, that water was distilled water, and the principle of the still is similar to the principle of cooking rice, which is to boil the contents and then condense distilled water. ”

"Then why don't we find a cauldron and get a lid on it?" Zhu Fan asked with a pair of innocent eyes.

Chu Ze: "Theoretically feasible. ”

"But after the crude oil is distilled, it can be toxic."

Chu Ze was not sure about this, but he knew that petroleum asphalt was toxic.

In order to prevent workers from being poisoned, it is necessary to find a safer container, so a still is essential.

Zhu Biao didn't understand, he touched his chin and nodded: "Then I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Chu Ze was the one who did not give in.

"Also, how long will it take to make this thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Chu Ze thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and prepare the drawings now, and after the drawings are finished, they can be handed over to the workshop to make according to the drawings." At the most...... Half a month? With the current work efficiency of the workshop, half a month is almost. However, it still needs to be debugged, and it is estimated that it will take some time. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao glanced at each other.

Then the two looked at Zhu Chun at the same time.

"Tsubaki, what do you say?"

Zhu Chun calculated the distance in his heart and said, "With the mining time, I can go back in a month." ”

Chu Ze didn't understand this, and he didn't mix it up, so he only told Zhu Chun: "When you are mining, by the way, explore the reserves of that oil well." ”

"It's not a big problem, when we received this news, we had already sent someone to look for someone to explore, this time we can go over and bring it directly."

"Neat and tidy." Chu Ze gave a thumbs up and gave Zhu Chun a thumbs up.

Zhu Chun is an elegant scholar by nature.

was praised by Chu Ze so bluntly, and his face showed a little red.

It's shy.

He arched his hand towards Chu Ze: "Brother Chu Ze has won the prize." ”

This matter was settled, and Chu Ze hardly stayed in the palace for long.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so eager that he couldn't wait to immediately deduct the things in his head.

Chu Ze: "......"

It's better to go back to the house first, and then stay, Zhu Yuanzhang is going to entertain him with big soles.

Chu Ze left the palace, got into the carriage, and left quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze who left, then glanced at Zhu Biao, and said: "Take a good look at those people, if there is something unfavorable to Daming, kill them directly." ”

The people Zhu Yuanzhang said were naturally Bai Qi and Bai Yin and others.

You must know that Chu Ze is their Ming killer.

Naturally, there can't be a problem.

"Yes, Father."

Zhu Biao nodded, the whereabouts of these people are completely under his control, if there is something unfavorable, he will do it without Zhu Yuanzhang saying it.

And after Chu Ze left the palace,

It's out!

Hurry up and report back.

A figure said to the people beside him.

In the city, in the private room of a teahouse.

Bai Qi and Bai Yin sat opposite each other, and after listening to the person's report, Bai Qi became serious and said, "It seems that my news is correct, and stone paint has indeed appeared in Sichuan." ”

"What a pity, it would be nice if this thing appeared in my Tatar territory." Bai Yin sighed in disappointment.

If it weren't for the fact that the stone paint well couldn't be moved, she even wanted to get it away at all costs.

Bai Qi was silent, but he thought about it like Bai Yin in his heart.

After a moment of silence in the private room, Bai Qi's voice continued to sound: "How is the progress over Chu Ze?" ”

It's okay that Bai Qi doesn't say this, but he gets angry when he mentions Bai Yin.

She told her eldest brother in detail what happened during this time.

After hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh.

Dare to humiliate his sister like that, Chu Ze is also the first person.

Bai Qi coaxed for a while before continuing the topic: "The gun will be put aside for the time being, and the matter of stone paint is more important." Since the stone paint appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor immediately recruited people into the palace, it means that the follow-up of the stone paint is handed over to Chu Ze, you are now in the Chu Mansion, you have a unique advantage, be sure to inquire clearly what Chu Ze wants to do, if you can get his plan in hand, it is the best. ”
