Chapter 113 The Birth of Oil
A month later, when Lu Bu climbed onto Yizhou Island, he was disappointed for no reason.
What did he see? That was the primitive man!
Everyone holds stone axes and wooden sticks, how can they fight him?
You know, this time Lu Bu fought, the three navy, army and air force were in concert.
Alas, this is completely the feeling of killing mosquitoes with cannons.
It seems that his real enemies are still many powerful countries such as the Northern Grassland, the 36 Kingdoms of the Western Regions, Wusun, Kushan, Dayuan, Tang Dynasty, Sindu, and Rome and German, which are known as the Great Qin by everyone.
At least, the Xianbei tribes, the Huns, the Roman Empire, the Germans and others of this era were still very fierce.
For example, the Roman Empire has now occupied the entire Mediterranean Sea. Its territory is so large that it can be said to be the most in the world.
Although the Roman Emperor Octavian was dead, the current Roman Empire was still very powerful for a period of time.
These powerful countries will be the targets that Lu Bu will conquer in the future.
As for Yizhou Island now, there is no pressure.
What you need to pay attention to next is that you are not accustomed to the local environment and have various epidemics.
Because Wei Wen attacked Taiwan in history, such symptoms occurred. Due to insufficient medical treatment, a considerable number of people died at that time.
Even after Wei Wen and Zhuge returned, they were ordered to beheaded by Sun Quan.
And this point, Lu Bu had already prepared.
Since you need to go on an expedition, how can you not consider the issue of being unacceptable to the local environment?
Although Lu Bu is violent, he will never be an irrational tyrant.
In his opinion, his subordinates made mistakes because he did not consider it thoroughly and did not do it well. He blamed his subordinates blindly, and was not a qualified king at all.
This is like a leader, no matter what happens, he must take responsibility first.
That is why Lu Bu did his best to do all kinds of preparations.
It can be said that the highest status and strictest protection of all scientific researchers under Lu Bu are still Huatuo and Zhang Zhongjing.
Lu Bu did not continue to conquer Yizhou. Even if he went to the battlefield to command, he would just kill people.
Therefore, Lu Bu handed over the follow-up work to Guan Cheng and the other civil officials.
Everyone has had experience in conquering Japan and is already quite skilled.
But Lu Bu arrived on a large ship on a small island northeast of Yizhou.
This is a very small island, but Lu Bu personally climbed the island and put a bright red flag on the Chinese nation.
At this moment, the personal guard was puzzled: "King, this island is so small and there is nothing on the island. Why did the King come in person?"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "If I tell you that there is a lot of oil around this small island, will you be shocked or surprised?"
What!
How could the personal guard not be surprised: "The king said that there is the oil the king has been looking for under the sea!"
Lu Bu Heshou: "Yes, but with our current technology, we cannot access it at all. But I want to occupy this territory as our Chinese territory first. From then on, this island will be named..."
I saw Lu Bu's momentum sinking and shouting: "Diaoyu Island!"
"Diaoyu Island?" The guard was puzzled and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Is it used to diya fish!"
Since he came out, Lu Bu didn't want to go back so soon. So Lu Bu took two big ships and dozens of small boats all the way west.
Dongsha Islands, Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, Nansha Islands, and until Riau Islands (Singapore), Lu Bu stopped.
Lu Bu did not enter the mainland because Lu Bu did not know the current strength of this land.
The main purpose of his trip this time was to determine the sailing route.
Because in the future, this is definitely the most important and important channel.
Of course, Lu Bu was fed with bright red Chinese flags on all islands of all sizes along the way.
There is no one on these islands, and even many of them don’t even have animals.
But having this flag shows that it is his territory and his first landing in this territory.
Then, Lu Bu returned to Xuzhou.
The occupation of Yizhou Island is just time.
Lu Bu believed that with his material support, it took three to five years to develop Yizhou and then he could start to feed him back.
As for the later independence, hehe, don’t even think about it even if you have him.
When Lu Bu returned to Xuzhou, a shocking news made Lu Bu extremely happy.
Oil, oil, oil are finally born.
After a hundred drilling wells in Guangling County, one of them finally drilled oil.
And when Lu Bu held the black oil in his hand, Lu Bu was so excited that he couldn't help but be happy.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Lu Bu laughed to the sky.
Seeing Lu Bu so crazy, everyone present was confused.
This king, you are crazy about gaining and losing your heart!
It's just a black water that can be ignited, and it's of use. Compared with coal, it's completely incomparable.
After being excited, Lu Bu immediately ordered: "Transport all the oil to the refinery!"
Yes, the refinery Lu Bu had already ordered Chen Deng to build it.
And this time, Lu Bu naturally had to be responsible for refining the technology himself.
All of them are left to the people below, and even if there is no explosion, there will be a fire.
Although Lu Bu had never refined oil, he still knew about the general process.
It's very simple, that's the steaming method.
Because the boiling points of various substances in oil are different, they can be directly selected by steaming.
For example, the boiling point of gasoline is 30 to 200 degrees, and diesel is 180 to 400, and then the temperature is continuously raised, and all the substances are continuously separated.
The subsequent work is of course to add some additives to purify various substances more thoroughly.
The last one is of course slag. But even slag is absolutely useful. That is asphalt, which can be used to pave the road.
There are countless products that oil can make.
Its value is not comparable to coal.
Lu Bu didn't explain much. Only when many products are created in the future will everyone know the preciousness of oil.
As a super-class mechanical engineer, he has made all aircraft, let alone cars.
A small internal combustion engine is not simple yet.
But everything is difficult at the beginning, and the initial refining work is quite difficult.
Various craftsmanship and safety cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.
It can be said that Lu Bu has once again devoted himself to scientific research projects.
At this time, Cao Cao and the three Yuan brothers were in full swing.
Liu Bei had already begun to enter Shu, and like history, he borrowed Nanjun from Sun Quan as a marching route.
As for whether to pay it back, haha.
Why do I have to pay back the territory I borrowed based on my ability?
Just kidding, Liu Bei Group is not borrowed.
For example, Zhuge Liang borrowed Jingzhou, borrowed arrows, and borrowed east wind, so what is not borrowed?
But have you paid back the loan? Have you paid back the loan? Have you paid back the loan?
No.
Sun Quan had a canal to be dug, a steam engine to be developed, and both Shanyue and Jiaozhou had to be rectified, so he could not start a war for the time being.
In this way, Lu Bu can do scientific research safely again.
As long as there is gasoline and diesel, it is not enough for him to be awesome!
Half a year passed quickly, and the coldest winter of the year came.
And when Lu Bu rolled the first diesel engine with his own hands, the whole audience was shocked.
"This, this, this, this, this is incredible!"
"Is this a diesel engine? It's really better than a steam engine!"
"Just kidding, look at how loud it sounds, how powerful it is!"
"Yeah, it's so amazing! The king is worthy of being the king, and he can create such a magical object!"
"The king has achieved martial virtues and virtues for thousands of years, and will unify the world!"
"God bless me, Greater China!"
