Ming Academy of Sciences.

A young man in a white coat carefully placed a glass bottle in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng pulled the bottle in front of him, pulled the lid open, and a smell that was once extremely familiar immediately rushed into his nose. He took a deep breath, and every smell cell seemed to be savoring the sweet smell.

"Gas." He blurted out.

"Did Your Majesty name this fierce turbulent oil gasoline?" Xu Lai asked, but then he remembered his Majesty's favorite hobby to name fresh things, and he knew that he had said something extra.

"Gas!" Qin Feng said in a sure tone, "You actually got this thing out?"

"Your Majesty, this is made by several chemistry students who have just graduated from the Beijing University of Science and Technology this year." Xu Lai proudly pointed to the somewhat restrained young people in the house and said, "The things called turtle oil from the Western Continent that His Majesty brought back were called turtle oil. After nearly two months of tintle oil, they have these finished products. After our experiments, their power is much more powerful than the original turtle oil."

"It's not just much bigger!" Qin Feng touched his forehead, "It's much bigger. But the danger has also increased a lot, right?"

"Indeed." Xu Lai nodded solemnly: "It is extremely flammable and extremely exploding. Not to mention ignition, even a violent impact may cause their combustion and explosion. Your Majesty, after this thing is made, stored and transported, there are great risks."

"I know." Qin Feng nodded: "But now we have not found raw materials that can make these things in the Ming Dynasty." When Qin Feng thought that most of the crude oils were hidden deep underground, he had a headache. Now that the Ming Dynasty has a steam engine, it is not difficult to dig holes down, but the problem is that he has to know where crude oil is hidden underground, so that he can dig holes with purpose!

"The territory of the Ming Dynasty is so large, can't we find raw materials?" Xu Lai was a little surprised.

Qin Feng shook his head: "The things that make this thing are basically hidden deep underground, and it takes some special reasons to form this raw material. With our current ability, it is difficult to discover."

"Where did the Western Mainland people get the raw materials for producing this thing?" Xu Lai asked.

"Surface." Qin Feng spread his hands: "Some crude oil wells are very close to the ground and overflowed from the ground. After they had this function, they carried out some processing before they made this thing. Now the National Security Bureau and the Ministry of Work have sent people to find this kind of thing across the country. Maybe we are lucky to find this kind of crude oil that is very close to the surface."

"The new weapons developed by the Weapon Research Institute based on the characteristics of this gasoline will be useless." Xu Lai shook his head, "Some time ago, the Ministry of War turned around to the large and small bunker groups built by Qi in Changning County? I hope that the people from the Weapon Research Institute can create some new weapons to deal with this turtle shell. After seeing the fierce turtle oil and the gasoline we refined, they really made some new things. They were about to get them to the Ministry of War for experiments, so that they could start building and selling money!"

"What new weapon?" Qin Feng, who was born in a general, is always the most sensitive to new weapons.

Xu Lai smiled and said, "When you know that Your Majesty is coming, those people will naturally not miss the opportunity to show in front of His Majesty. They have long rushed over from the City of Power and are ready to show off in front of His Majesty!"

Qin Feng laughed, "Then let's see what new things they made!"

When the new weapon made by the Weapon Research Institute based on the characteristics of gasoline appeared in front of Qin Feng, he was shocked. Isn’t this a flamethrower?

"Try it!" He signaled to the official from the Weapons Research Institute.

The official excitedly carried a jar on his back, holding a long tube in his hand. Another official stepped forward and shook the tube in front of the tube with a fire fold. A small flame appeared at the entrance of the tube. The official carrying the jar raised the long tube in his hand and hooked the trigger below. The small flame that had just become a fire ball instantly turned into a ball of fire, and rushed forward with a loud bang, and a raging fire immediately ignited in a tunnel ahead.

"Your Majesty, we have tried it. If it is to deal with confined spaces, his power will increase exponentially, and it will be particularly effective even when dealing with enemies in the tunnel." The official said happily.

"It's really useful!" Qin Feng nodded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you mean, can we produce in large quantities?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "Where should I put some production? Now we have not found a crude oil well that can refine gasoline, and there is no ability to refine it on a large scale."

"Your Majesty, since there are such raw materials in the Western Continent, we can import them from there. Now a large number of ships set off for the Western Continent every day. On the return journey, we can transport these things back." Xu Lai suggested.

"How many can I get back?" Qin Feng frowned and said, "It's just a drop in the bucket."

"Your Majesty, this thing is not too huge to apply to military affairs, it is only used in some special occasions." Xu Lai said strangely.

Qin Feng smiled and looked at Xu Lai and said, "My Dean Xu, have you only seen his use in military affairs? He can burn, and the energy generated by combustion is far more than coal. Haven't you ever thought about using this energy of his?"

Xu Lai was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty said, "Do you make a new machine and use this gasoline as the raw material?"

"That's all I said. Can it be done? You can try it yourself first. You can form some interested people and form a group to study and research? What if it is successful? Do you think it's not turbid?" Qin Feng said thoughtfully. "No matter ten or twenty years, as long as it can be accomplished, it will be a great progress, which will definitely lead our Ming Dynasty's second technological leap forward."

Qin Feng said it casually, but Xu Lai would not think so. Every time the emperor guided the research direction of the Ming Academy of Sciences, it was never aimless. Since he said so, he must have hope.

Xu Lai didn't know how his confidence in the emperor came from. He knew very well that the emperor actually didn't understand such machinery at all. But what confused him was that in the development of steam engines, some of the things that the emperor said were finally verified in experiments that were correct.

"Your Majesty, we will do this." Xu Lai said seriously.

"If you have dates or not, let's talk about how many times you have!" Qin Feng said with a big smile. "Every time I come to the Academy of Sciences, I always gain a lot. President Xu, take advantage of my happiness today and talk about it. What are the requirements?"

"There are really a lot of requirements!" Xu Lai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow the Beijing University to expand the enrollment of students in physics, chemistry and other natural sciences. Now our staff is getting less and less than enough."

"If you want to expand the recruitment of students, you must have enough teachers. Then you have to go out to teach in the school." Qin Feng said: "It's not OK to just want people but don't want to teach people."

"I understand this, I understand this, sharpening a knife will not delay the chopping of wood!" Xu Lai said: "In order to get more available people, we have to spend time to train. Don't worry, those professors and scholars, I will press their heads and let them go to school to attend classes. Who doesn't go? The next project will not have their expenses, and the funds will not have their share."

The two laughed at each other.

"The second thing is to want to do it." Xu Lai said a little embarrassedly: "There is no problem for our headquarters of the Ming Academy of Sciences in this city, but I want to move them all away in many other laboratories. It is too dangerous and there are frequent accidents."

"This is a legitimate request." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Wang Qian from Yuejing Mansion has come to me for complaining about his misery several times. He said that people often complain to Yuejing Mansion, saying that you disturb the people and often scare people to the point of being out of control. Most people don't know where this place is, but he knows it and dare not come to cause trouble for you. He cooks yellow lotus in a pot, and feels bitter. If you move these away, I believe he will definitely fall asleep and wake up."

Xu Lai laughed and said, "So, I can go and knock him down when I move."

"That's your business." Qin Feng waved his hand, "I agree with all these things. Go back and discuss related matters with the relevant departments, I'm leaving."

"Your Majesty will leave after you don't have a meal? Last time I came, I said that the canteen here is well organized and has its own characteristics. Today, I knew that Your Majesty was coming, so I asked them to prepare it specially?"

"No, Yue Kaishan from Cenzhou came back to report his work today. He stayed in the miserable place in Cenzhou for many years. He has built a border area of ​​bitter and cold state into his current appearance. He is a hero. I have to have a meal with him." Qin Feng smiled.

"It seems that the governor of County Yue is going to be promoted?" Xu Lai said.

Qin Feng smiled, "Cenzhou has just improved, and he can't leave yet, so wait for a while. When Cenzhou is well managed, it will become the western Jiangnan as he said, and it will not be too late to come back then."

Xu Lai nodded. He had been the president of science for so many years and had been dealing with various departments and yamen. He had been away from the front line for too long and was no longer the first brother of the political arena. Yue Kaishan could not come back because Zhou Jiyun still controls huge military power. When will Zhou Jiyun leave his rank and return to the field, Yue Kaishan will be able to return to the center to serve. Qin Feng is actually very optimistic about this Qi person.
