After Li Changfeng separated Emperor Qianwu and others, he went straight to the scientific research institute.

The research institute is an extremely important place in Baishi City, and it cannot be ignored.

But fortunately, even if he is not in White Rock City, the scientific research institute still has not made any trouble, and there are more heavy guards here, and it is impossible to sneak into it easily.

After turning around, Li Changfeng found Liang Dafu in a modern laboratory that resembled a rudimentary version.

Liang Dafu was wearing a white lab coat and was concentrating on studying a black liquid, unable to notice the arrival of the others.

Seeing him so devoted, Li Changfeng couldn't help but sigh, it is worthy of being a scientific research genius who can develop artillery from scratch under the condition that he gives the corresponding ideas and designs, just this unbiased concentration and enthusiasm for science is enough to make him, a lazy guy, be infected and want to be diligent.

Therefore, Li Changfeng decided that he must stay away from this kind of person, otherwise he will be infected, how can he continue to make a big pie in the future, let them make a lot of money for themselves, and develop advanced technology.

He coughed twice, and Liang Dafu, who was studying, was awakened, and when he saw that it was His Royal Highness, he immediately said in surprise: "Your Highness, you are back!" ”

Li Changfeng said: "Lao Liang, how is the scientific research fund of the scientific research institute now?" ”

Liang Dafu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, there are still 34,000 taels of scientific research funds left, and according to the five scientific research projects currently carried out by scientific research institutes, they can only last for a month and a half at most. ”

Li Changfeng sighed, sure enough, scientific research is a bottomless pit, 34,000 taels is a considerable amount of wealth, but it is only enough for the scientific research institute to maintain one month, and this is still the scientific research institute is currently only carrying out research on five projects.

However, he also knew that all five items were quite important, and one of them was artillery.

After a pause, Liang Dafu seemed to remember something, and said, "Your Highness, it should only last for a month, because you shot too much against the Black Thorn Beast a while ago, resulting in a low inventory." Your Highness, next time you shoot a cannon, be careful, don't shoot too much, shoot less, so that it will last longer. So, Your Highness, can you last longer? ”

Li Changfeng: "......"

Damn, it's a very ordinary sentence, why did it change its taste when it came to Lao Liang's mouth.

He didn't smile: "Lao Liang, this prince has always been very long-lasting, and next time it will last for a day and a night." ”

Liang Dafu frowned and said: "Your Highness, one day and one night is too long, the evil beast can't stand it, you can't do it, it's too damaging to your body for so long, you still have to take a proper rest." ”

"Hehe, Lao Liang, you are not a woman, and you can't understand the staying power of this prince at all. I think that back then, the prince pressed Dongying Island, picked the big ocean horse in the west, fought the barbarian goddess in the south, and fought the grassland queen in the north, and fought thirteen women for three days and three nights, causing them to be dehydrated and exhausted. ”

Li Changfeng smiled and said that he didn't want to continue to discuss this kind of topic with Lao Liang, and the two big men said what they were doing on this topic, so he immediately changed the topic: "Lao Liang, this prince recently got a scientific research fund of 100,000 taels, so you don't have to save it, understand?" ”

"One hundred thousand taels!"

Liang Dafu didn't understand the meaning of His Highness's previous sentence, what does staying power have to do with women, but when he heard that it was 100,000 taels, he was surprised and delighted: "With so many silver taels, I can last longer." Studying oil is not a simple matter, it is very expensive! ”

Li Changfeng patted Liang Dafu's shoulder and encouraged: "What are you afraid of burning money?" This prince can make money, just burn! ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket and handed them over: "One hundred thousand taels, enough for you to last for a while!" ”

Liang Dafu hurriedly took the silver ticket, his eyes flashed, and he nodded busily: "Enough!" That's enough! ”

He wasn't excited about the money, but because he had so much money and was able to do better research.

As for how His Highness managed to get so much money, he never asked a scientific researcher, because the only thing that interested him was scientific research.

Li Changfeng asked, "How is the research on the purification of fire oil?" ”

Fire oil is oil.

When Li Changfeng vigorously built Baishi City, he sent a survey team to survey the radius of Baishi City, and accidentally discovered an oil field in the mountains several miles away.

Even Li Changfeng was pleasantly surprised by this, but he didn't expect to find an oil field.

You must know that petroleum has many wonderful uses, and purified gasoline and diesel are only one of them, and asphalt can also be refined.

Of course, it is still quite difficult to purify petroleum into gasoline, diesel, etc., with the technology of this era, at least for scientific research talents like Liang Dafu, so Li Changfeng only mentioned it to Liang Dafu at the beginning.

As a result, the gasoline and diesel did not come out, but the asphalt came out.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Li Changfeng agreed with this very much, so he used the asphalt.

The main streets of Shiraishi City are now paved with asphalt and gravel, replacing the dirt and gravel roads that were muddy when it rained.

However, what Li Changfeng wants most is gasoline and diesel.

At the mention of this, Liang Dafu suddenly became excited: "Your Highness, we have carried out countless tests in accordance with the fire oil distillation method you proposed, and have repeatedly improved the distillation equipment, and now we can produce gasoline that barely meets the standard!" ”

"Really?"

Li Changfeng showed a look of surprise.

With qualified gasoline, he was ready to work on the internal combustion engine, ready to be used for experiments, which was crucial to his plan.

Liang Dafu nodded: "How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" According to you, gasoline is the first to boil, and we pump it out and cool it with ice cubes to get gasoline, and the combustion characteristics are basically the same as what you said! ”

Li Changfeng patted Liang Dafu's shoulder and exclaimed: "Lao Li, you have done a good job, you can go to play at any time in heaven and earth, and the whole consumption will be counted on the head of this prince!" ”

"Women will only affect the speed of my scientific research, I'm not interested!" Liang Dafu shook his head and said, "Now we can't accurately control the temperature, the boiling point is not accurate enough, and there are still a lot of impurities in the gasoline, but I believe that if I give me some more time, we can produce gasoline that fully meets the standards!" ”

"Good!"

Li Changfeng was extremely happy, and after laughing, he changed his words and asked, "By the way, how has the smelting technology improved?" ”

The smelting technology of the Daqian Dynasty was extremely backward, which was the basis for industrialization, and Li Changfeng invested a lot of money in this area.

Up to now, the scientific research institute has mastered the most advanced smelting technology for the entire Daqian, but it is still far from his requirements.
