Originally, the development of human oil industry in history originated from the refining of kerosene. However, this does not mean that Malin created a kerosene lamp and mastered oil refining technology, which could allow Beihai Guo’s oil industry to take off rapidly.
The main reason is that it does not have the support of the whole society. After all, in 1859, when the modern oil industry originated, human steam engine technology had long matured, and too many mechanical experts emerged. Therefore, after oil was extracted, it could be quickly put into application. In addition, the technology of exploring oil and exploiting oil can also develop rapidly.
But in this era, I'm afraid only Marin, a time traveler, knew what the oil industry was. Even Da Vinci, the world's smartest, knew nothing about the oil industry.
Especially oil exploration and drilling technology, due to technical limitations, it is difficult to make great progress. Even if Marin developed the rotary drilling technology, he could only drill shallow oil wells at a depth of 100 meters. This technology was not possible in most of the large oil fields in later generations. And the oil wells that can be developed are only the places where limited oil seedlings are exposed on the surface, such as Titusville, Galicia, Baku, sulfonation pits, and prolongation...
However, the output of this shallow well is not high and cannot meet the huge demand for kerosene lamps. Therefore, in the early stage, the application of kerosene lamps would not be very wide. Of course, when Beihai Kingdom trained several generations of mechanical engineers and the technology gradually matured, deeper oil wells could be drilled and more oil could be obtained.
In fact, according to Marin's memory, the 12-horse Changchai hand-held tractor bought by Lao Ma's family in his previous life can also be copied by craftsmen. After all, now there is vulcanized rubber, and as long as you spend some time and let the craftsmen do their best, they can still copy the single-cylinder diesel engine. At most, it is because of the rough technology that causes frequent problems in the machine, just like the current imitation Watt steam engine.
But the biggest problem is not here, it is mainly the diesel supply problem. With only one barrel of oil production per day in the Galicia oil field, the extracted diesel is only available for a hand tractor to run for a day. This is calculated based on the highest diesel refining ratio of 30%. However, with Marin's workshop-level technology, it would be good to be able to extract 20%.
Even if a one-child hand tractor is only turned on for 8 hours a day, it can be used for at most two or three tractors. In this way, what can this change? The supply capacity of two or three single-cylinder diesel engines... OK, it is still useful, at least, you can accumulate technology...
So, Marin began to organize a large number of craftsmen to copy the 12-horse hand-held tractor that often had problems in their family in their previous life...
Why does Marin insist on building a 12-horse single-cylinder diesel engine in the face of extreme diesel shortage? It is not for widespread application, but for its speed!
Yes, no matter how bad a single-cylinder diesel engine is, its speed is much stronger than that of a steam engine. The current Beihai Country Watt Steam Engine has a speed of only more than 50 rpm. This speed is not much different from the hand-cranked machinery. However, a single-cylinder diesel engine is different. Marin remembers that his family had 12 horses in his previous life, with a speed of up to 500 to 800 rpm!
This speed may have no application value in large-scale industrial production due to lack of oil. However, if used to drill the barrel...
Yes, Marin thought of drilling the barrel. For a rotating drill bit, the faster the speed, the stronger the drilling penetration. If a single-cylinder diesel engine with a rotation speed of more than ten times faster than the current Watt steam engine, the efficiency of drilling the barrel will be greatly improved. You can even consider drilling the barrel...
Don’t have too many, as long as there are a few single-cylinder diesel engines to drill the barrel, it is basically enough. After all, the size of the Beihai Army is just like that, and the demand for barrels is not high, and tens of thousands of barrels is enough. Unlike later generations, some rifles equipped with one another often have tens of millions of levels, and the number of AK47s exceeds 200 million...
In addition, single-cylinder diesel engines are also very good for drilling wells. In the past life, the countryside drilling machine used a steel frame with a small diesel engine on it, which drives the rotating drill bit to press down. Marin has never seen the authentic oil drilling machinery, but this kind of rural drilling machine has been seen. Although this drilling machine can only be dug a few dozen meters deep, it was enough for the early stage to dig shallow oil wells. The most important thing is that its efficiency is much faster than the popular traditional drilling technology now. Marin remembers that the commonly used drilling machine in the past life was fine to drill two irrigation wells a day. If the ancient gravity-hard drilling technology is adopted, according to Zhuotong Well technology, drilling a salt well with a depth of 100 meters will take 60 or 70 days... This efficiency is incomparable...
Of course, all of this is ideal. But the reality is...
Marin finally ordered the craftsmen to imitate the 12-horse single-cylinder diesel engine. As a result, during the trial operation, there was a problem with the design of the mount of the shaking handle (Marin did not pay attention to this small detail in his memory), and the shaking handle could not be taken down in time. Then, when the diesel engine turned, the iron shaking handle flew out, killing a close craftsman...
The next day, during the trial operation, the huge flywheel of the diesel engine flew out directly because it was not riveted firmly...
Fortunately, this time everyone was mentally prepared and added bunkers, and no casualties occurred.
In addition, the first generation of vulcanized rubber transmission belts made by Marin made of first generation seem unstable in quality and not very good wear resistance. So, after running for two days, it suddenly broke... Fortunately, Marin had sisal fiber as a backhand. After switching to the transmission belt woven by sisal fiber, it was indeed better...
Seeing these unpredictable consequences, Marin was also frightened. It seems that the backwardness of the overall mechanical technology foundation of society has caused many problems that Marin had never seen in his previous life after the machine was manufactured. Moreover, they were all low-level problems that Marin could not imagine.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! For the sake of safety, Marin left all these problems to the craftsmen to deal with. Moreover, this processing process is also a process of increasing technology.
But in order to prevent anyone from dying unexpectedly, Marin asked those craftsmen to place bunkers when testing single-cylinder diesel engines, but also to wear a full set of plate armor as protective clothing to avoid being killed by the machine...
In fact, Malin didn't know that when Xinhua was first established in later generations, the machinery industry was developed everywhere. Even with the guidance of Russian experts, many accidents still occurred. And every machine accident may be injured or even died. Over the past few decades, I don't know how many workers in machinery factories broke their fingers or their entire hands, and even those who were killed by machinery...
There is no way. At that time, the country's new development, the foundation of the machinery industry was equivalent to none, and it was not much better than Marin now. The only situation is better than Marin's current situation is that it has mature foreign theoretical guidance, and many advanced foreign prototypes as reference. Even so, there are still many workers in New China who have suffered many accidents due to machine problems or improper operation, causing many casualties. Marin read a report in later generations that said that in Wuhan alone, the number of casualties in the work-related accidents reached more than 50,000 in decades. Among them, the highest proportion is limb disability (mainly hands).
