After assembling it, Chu Ze asked people to fetch water and put it in a still.

The still was two people tall, larger than the largest tank, and several shelves were placed on the ground, and the large jar was placed upward, like a giant.

The chamberlain carried a bucket of water, stepped on the ladder, and filled it bucket by bucket.

It's almost done, Chu Ze said, "Okay." ”

"Make a fire!"

With a thud, flames erupted from the bottom of the can.

With the tongue of fire, Zhu Yuanzhang and others surrounded him with a new face.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze swept over the tank, and then swept over the pipes that protruded from the upper part of the tank.

These tubes are as thick as an adult's arm.

As soon as the lid on the top is closed, nothing can be seen inside.

"This is the still you were talking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched it.

On the huge steel jar, a hint of coolness came from the fingertips.

It's hard to imagine that such a thing can make gasoline.

Incredible.

Chu Ze said: "That's right, this is the still." ”

"Can this really make gasoline?" Queen Ma looked at this big jar and was still a little incredulous.

When Zhu Yuanzhang told her, she was curious.

Today, I heard that Chu Ze was going to test the still, so I came over to take a look.

I didn't expect it to be such a big jar.

Can this jar really work?

Chu Ze smiled slightly and replied, "Can we still fool our stepmother?" ”

"Look, everybody."

Chu Ze pointed to the big jar beside him and said, "The principle used in this distiller is to use the difference in the volatility of each component in the liquid mixture to partially vaporize the liquid mixture and then partially condense the vapor, so as to realize the separation of the components contained in it. ”

"Wait, wait, whatever."

Zhu Yuanzhang only heard the first sentence, and his head instantly became bigger.

He hurriedly interrupted Chu Ze's words, waved his hand and said, "You tell us directly, how can this thing make gasoline or something, and there is no need to talk about other nonsense." ”

"yes, we want to know."

"Chu Ze, say it quickly."

Chu Zexin said, you really can't hold your breath.

But he honestly followed Zhu Yuanzhang's request and started the explanation again.

"Petroleum contains a variety of substances, each of which has a different volatility. For example, gasoline has a volatility of about 200 and diesel around 400. In addition to this, crude oil also contains bitumen and can even be distilled to produce lubricating oil. ”

However, diesel fuel and lubricating oil, Chu Ze remembered what needed to be added.

What exactly is Chu Ze has been.

Anyway, get it out first, in case you remember it one day, can't you use it?

"When the oil arrives, we can pour it into this still and heat it underneath." He's tried to keep the temperature around a fixed temperature, and it was possible, "After refueling, the volatiles would rise with the heat, eventually start to condense in this area, and then fall down the tubes." ”

As he spoke, the water in the still was already boiling, and the vapor condensed and fell down the tube.

Tick.

A barely audible sound, in the ears of everyone, was like thunder, shocking everyone back to their senses.

They subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

I saw that in the porcelain bowl that was empty just now, a drop of liquid that was so transparent that it was almost invisible was lying quietly inside.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the drop of water without blinking.

It's like looking at gasoline.

"That's it, isn't it?" Someone asked in a whisper, as if he was afraid of alarming something.

Then, all the eyes in the hall looked at Chu Ze in unison.

Chu Ze looked at the tube that was slowly dripping out of distilled water, and replied with a sigh of relief: "For now...... It's done. But what the specific situation is, we have to wait for the oil to be delivered, and then use the oil to distill it to know whether it has been successful. "Even if it doesn't work out, the problem will only be with the materials and assembly of the still.

Chu Ze has no doubts about this theory.

But the others directly ignored Chu Ze's later words.

Their minds were full of Chu Ze's sentence "It's done"

"It's finished."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows quickly climbed to a layer of joy: "It's done, hahahaha!" ”

"Good, good, great! Chu Ze, you kid has made a great contribution this time, you are the hero of our Ming Dynasty! Don't worry, we won't forget your credit. By the way, didn't you say that there was a fire or something...... Biao'er, you say. Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited for a while that he forgot his name.

Zhu Biao stepped forward at the right time and said, "Flamethrower." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately answered, "Don't grind, hurry up and take it out and let us take a look." ”

When it comes to flamethrowers, people who were just happy just now instantly become excited.

The stills are good, but Zhu Yuanzhang is more interested in flamethrowers.

Zhu Biao told him before, and Chu Ze said that the thing was extremely lethal.

If it can be used on the battlefield, their Ming Dynasty's combat power will definitely increase several times.

At that time, he will be able to dominate the world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little excited.

Chu Ze knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in this, and he prepared things early.

It's just that......

Forget it, let's demonstrate it first.

Chu Ze stepped aside and took out something strange again.

After fiddling with it, the main body of a flamethrower appeared.

It looks a lot like the bucket that modern pesticides are used to spray pesticides.

Maybe it was inspired by the flamethrower.

Chu Ze's thoughts diverged for a moment, he filled the bucket with water and carried it on his back.

In the left hand is a hand-cranked pump, and in the right hand is a water pipe-like thing.

Chu Ze explained while demonstrating: "This is the flamethrower, when you use it, you put the barrel on your back, fill it with gasoline, and squeeze the gasoline into this throat and spray it out through this hand-cranked pump. ”

With Chu Ze's movements, the water inside the main body was squirted out.

However, the hand-cranked pump is obviously not very flexible, and the water column is intermittent, and finally it strikes directly.

Chu Ze tossed for a while, and the water column appeared again.

Xu Da suddenly said: "Then how to ignite this fire?" ”

"This, now has to be manually lit manually."

If it is modern, it is enough to install an ignition signal tube near the nozzle.

But not right now.

There is no such technology.

Therefore, it can only be manually pointed.

"If this fire ignites the gasoline in the barrel, then we are going to burn ourselves?"

Chu Ze said that these questions had come to mind.

He said, "Don't worry, there's something in it that prevents flashback." As long as it's used properly, it won't be what you said. ”

As he spoke, he was just a hand-cranked pump that was not very flexible just now, but at this time, the water in the bucket flowed out along the hand-cranked pump.
