Chapter 39 Cheating Research
This large-scale experimental field is indeed a bit beyond Zhu Cijiu's expectations. He is not an omnipotent god. He does not know much about oil refining. To put it bluntly, he has only seen the refined finished products, such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, lubricating oil, candles, and asphalt.
Just like most people in later generations, if they say that they are not from mobile phone manufacturers, there are basically few who can do it. However, most people will use mobile phones to know what functions the mobile phone has, and they can make phone calls, surf the Internet, read books, listen to music, watch movies, etc.
If you don’t have the concept of a mobile phone at all, and you don’t have this thing, you can make a mobile phone once you tell them the function. Although the call quality may be poor, the Internet card is stagnant, the sound quality is not very good, and the picture is not very clear, you will definitely be shocked.
Zhu Cijing was shocked now. Oil refining, a high-end technology he had never thought about in later generations. In this backward Ming Dynasty, he casually said that Song Yingxing actually extracted things. Although the wax he saw was not completely separated, impure ingredients, and many impurities, they did extract them.
What a talent, Zhu Cijiu secretly glanced at Song Yingxing with respect. If he hadn't been the emperor now, he would have wanted to look at Song Yingxing with respect.
This large-scale experimental field, this layout, and this facility have completely exceeded his understanding. If a person like Song Yingxing lives in later generations, he will definitely be a famous scientist and inventor!
Song Yingxing didn't know what the emperor was thinking. His respect for the emperor came from the heart. He had seen the hot turbulent oil for a long time. It was very fierce when burned, but the unpleasant smell and the dark smoke were really unbearable. Therefore, few people used it, and no one took the time to mine and make money.
Why didn’t anyone think that using various temperatures to heat the hot tincture oil will separate a lot of clean fuel? In this way, the hot tincture oil will definitely become a hot item, and the emperor is wise and powerful!
With the mutual respect between the two, the group came to the third floor of the large test site. This floor is not much different from the first two floors. It is still a blast furnace that is not like a blast furnace, and the room is not like a giant in the room. A hole leads into it like a door hole, and two people are also standing next to the hole.
However, the temperature of this layer does not seem to be as high as the second layer, and it is probably far from the first layer, so the smell is not that bad.
Zhu Cijiu once again curiously stuck his head into the door hole and looked at it. He could only see a huge iron can with several doors on it, and now they are all sealed. Both ends are also connected to the upper and lower parts by huge iron pipes.
This time, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chang Geng, is this iron jar used for heating?"
Song Yingxing nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the emperor, it's similar to a boiler inside, the coal fire below burns below, and a large jar containing water above, but now the jar contains oil."
Zhu Cijing asked in surprise: "Will it catch fire by heating directly?"
Song Yingxing explained: "Don't worry, the can of oil that is more than ten or twenty feet away from the coal fire will not catch fire."
Zhu Cijiu nodded in a slight way. He was just curious. He didn't really want to understand the structure. There are so many things in this world. If you have to find out everything, you don't have to do anything. You can ask someone every day, and you can't finish it in your life.
He did not ask about the structure inside, but asked curiously: "What is burned out of this layer? Take it to me."
Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing quickly asked the person on duty to go to the storage room to pick it up.
Soon, the person on duty brought an iron bucket. The stuff inside was slightly ginger and looked a bit like lard, but it was not tied together.
Zhu Cijiu picked a little with his hands again, rubbed it between his fingers, and then sniffed it carefully.
This thing is a bit like the lubricant from later generations, but it is not pure. I don’t know what it contains, and it feels sticky.
He thought for a while and asked, "Is this easy to lit?"
Song Yingxing quickly replied: "This Weishi has tried it too. If you click it directly, it is not easy to light it. If you add a cotton core, you will just hit it."
Zhu Cijing nodded and thought, this thing was not pure lubricant or grease. Will it damage the parts if it was used directly as lubricant?
He was thinking about it, but Song Yingxing couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, what are you using this for? Is it used as lamp oil?"
Zhu Cijing shook his head and said, "No, this is a bit wasteful when it comes to lamp oil. It should be used as lubricant, which means it is added to the middle of frequently worn parts to reduce wear, such as bearings and gears. "
When Song Yingxing heard this, his eyes lit up. It turned out that this thing was used to reduce wear and tear. In the past, they all added lard, rapeseed oil, etc., which was a waste. People don’t eat enough lard and rapeseed oil. It would be great if they had this thing. It seems that this oil is much more than lard and rapeseed oil.
Seeing him excited, Zhu Cijing couldn't help but reminded him: "There are too many impurities in this thing, and the lubrication effect may not be very good. You have to find a way to remove the impurities inside. Also, you can add some salt or alkali to try it to see if it can turn it into lard so sticky, so that it will not fall off easily if it is applied."
Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing still nodded excitedly and said, "Weichen understands."
For him, removing impurities or adding anything is not a problem. His most fear is that he doesn't know what he is used for and just knows that he is used to reduce wear. If he experiments slowly, he can always make the right one. If he doesn't know what he is used for, he can only place it as waste or burn it as lamp oil.
During this period, the people who were engaged in research in the Ming Dynasty were the happiest, because with Zhu Cijiu, a super cheater, they didn't have to worry about the wrong method or direction. As long as they did what the emperor said, they would definitely not be wrong.
This is like a math problem, telling you the answer directly. For people who have not studied mathematics, it is of course useless to know the answer, but for people who have studied mathematics, it is very simple to calculate the intermediate steps after knowing the answer.
The reason why Song Yingxing was able to research such a great result in such a complex matter of oil refining in such a short time is mainly because Zhu Cijing has roughly described the refining method and the refining results, which is like a math problem that has already told him the answer.
He happened to have a certain foundation in smelting. Oil refining is actually equivalent to liquid smelting. He naturally has a very fast speed when he studied it.
Zhu Cijing still couldn't understand why Song Yingxing's research progress was so fast. In fact, the main reason was that he had already expressed the methods and results, so how could he be unhappy!
