Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 789 Gasoline and Diesel

Zhao Wen was walking in the imperial garden, and Wang Qi stood in front of him.

"Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon, Wu Keshan went to Wei Guogong's mansion with a full of beads to practice rituals, and stayed overnight in Wei Guogong's mansion.

Because there is no Dianqian division in the mansion, I don't know what the two of them said or did. "Wang Qi said.

Zhao Wen looked at Wang Qi standing in front of him, and said: "Wu Keshan has the best relationship with Zhao Daniu in Xuan Town, there is no doubt about it, and it is very normal for him to go to Zhao Daniu.

Even if I am worried about Wu Keshan, it is impossible not to worry about Zhao Daniu. After all, Zhao Daniu is one of the first people to follow me.

That's enough, let's stop here first, just keep an eye on Wu Keshan closely for now, now it's the grand ceremony of the establishment of the reserve, and the ceremony of the establishment of the reserve should be the most important thing.

As long as Wu Keshan didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just keep an eye on him for the time being. "

"Follow Your Majesty's order!" Wang Qi cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and retreated.

After Wang Qi left, Zhao Wen also left the Royal Garden and went to the courtyard where Zhao Mingyu was.

The grand ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince is about to begin, and Zhao Wen wants to see how his son is doing.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhao Wen saw a large number of eunuchs and maids crowded at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Wen stopped behind these eunuchs and maids, frowning slightly, "Why are there so many people here? What are they doing here?"

"Your Majesty, the grand crown prince ceremony is about to begin. The servants in the palace are teaching His Highness the etiquette for the ceremony. Tomorrow, people from the Ministry of Rituals will come to the palace to teach the crown prince etiquette." Chen Donglai said.

Zhao Wen frowned when he heard this. "If that's the case, then I won't bother them!"

Zhao Wen turned around and left after speaking, and walked outside.

After Zhao Wen walked out of the palace, accompanied by Chen Donglai, he went to the research institute.

Zhao Wen has not been to the research institute for a long time, and now Zhao Wen has a little free time, so Zhao Wen wants to visit the research institute.

Zhao Wen headed for the research institute outside the city in a firewood-burning car.

Zhao Wen sat in the wood-burning car, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and fell into deep thought.

"The technology of wood-burning vehicles is now mature. Before that, I also asked Song Yingxing to start manufacturing agricultural machinery. I must have almost manufactured it now. After all, this thing has the same origin as wood-burning vehicles.

The technology of wood-burning vehicles is almost mature, but it will take a lot of time to popularize it! "Zhao Wen sat in the wood-burning car, thinking about these questions quietly.

The motorcade stopped at the gate of the institute, and Zhao Wen jumped off the firewood car.

The staff of the research institute who got the news stood neatly outside the gate of the institute, waiting for Zhao Wen.

However, Song Yingxing was not at the research institute today, he took a group of people to inspect various factories.

In Xuanzhen, many factories are under the research institute and are under the jurisdiction of the research institute.

"Meet Your Majesty!" The staff members standing at the entrance of the research institute looked at Zhao Wen who got off the wood-burning car, bowed their bodies and saluted.

There are not many people standing at the entrance of the research institute, only the main person in charge of the research institute.

There are many people in the research institute, and if all of them come out, it will be a mighty large area.

"Let's get down!" Zhao Wen waved his hands at these staff, making them stand up.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Song is not at the research institute. This morning, he took his students and some staff to inspect the factory, and he will probably come back in the afternoon!" An older staff member said to Zhao Wen said.

"It's okay, I didn't look for him on purpose today, I just came here today to walk around the research institute to see if there is anything new in the research institute!" Zhao Wen said.

This elderly official is Song Yingxing's deputy in the research institute, named Ren Qi, a middle-aged man in his 40s.

This person is not as good as Song Yingxing in terms of research, but this person is not comparable to Song Yingxing in terms of overall planning.

Ren Qi is Song Yingxing's right-hand man in the research institute, responsible for the complicated affairs in the research institute.

It is precisely because of the existence of Ren Qi that Song Yingxing can conduct scientific research with peace of mind.

"In that case, then I will take His Majesty to inspect the work in the research institute!" Ren Qi said and walked inside.

Zhao Wen looked at Ren Qi who was walking forward, led Chen Donglai and several guards, followed Ren Qi, and walked forward.

Today's research institute covers a very large area, which is many times larger than when it first started.

In the current research institute, there are many laboratories. These laboratories occupy a very large area and are the place where the research institute conducts experiments.

Zhao Wen is very supportive of the work of the research institute and has given a lot of money to the research institute.

In Xuanzhen, besides the Ministry of Industry in the hands of Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing's research institute has the most funding.

Because Zhao Wen kept a close eye on it, the funds that Zhao Wen allocated to the research institute were basically implemented.

As for corruption, these people in the research institute don't have the guts yet.

"This is a car testing site. Ever since the wood-burning car was manufactured, the research institute has been thinking about whether it can be improved, and this site is a place for testing improved wood-burning cars!" Ren Qi stopped at a car. Outside the continuous wall, he pointed to the wall and said to Zhao Wen.

Listening to Ren Qi's voice, Zhao Wen kept nodding his head.

Zhao Wen is very satisfied with the current results.

The scene in front of him shows that the staff in the research institute are now able to think independently, and they don't have to stick to Zhao Wen anymore.This is very great for future development. As long as this kind of thinking exists, why not worry about the industry's prosperity?

"Not bad, not bad, this kind of spirit is worthy of praise." Zhao Wen nodded repeatedly, praising him non-stop.

"Does Your Majesty want to go in and have a look?" Ren Qi pointed to the gate not far away, and looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen shook his head, "Let's not go in and see it now, let's go see it later when we have time!"

Seeing what Zhao Wen said, Ren Qi didn't ask any more questions, but led Zhao Wen forward.

"A few days ago, there was a young man named Yang Qian'an in the research institute. He successfully refined oil in the laboratory. Among them were the gasoline and diesel that His Majesty mentioned in the book!" Ren Qi was talking while walking.

When Ren Qi said this, he was very calm, as if this matter was just an insignificant matter to him.

Ren Qi is mainly responsible for the overall planning of the research institute, and he is still relatively poor in academic research. Although he has read the textbook written by Zhao Wen, his ability is limited after all, so he is right and wrong about many things.

What Ren Qi said was unremarkable, but to Zhao Wen's ears, it sounded like a bolt from the blue.

"What did you say? Gasoline and diesel oil were extracted from petroleum?" Zhao Wen looked at Renqi in disbelief, his voice trembling.

Ren Qi may not know the power of gasoline and diesel, but Zhao Wen from later generations clearly knows what gasoline and diesel will bring and how it will change the world.

With gasoline and diesel, the internal combustion engine is not far away.

Now Xuanzhen has accumulated experience in manufacturing wood-fired engines, so it can now also manufacture internal combustion engines.

However, due to various reasons, Zhao Wen did not send the blueprint of the internal combustion engine to Song Yingxing.

If Zhao Wen handed over the blueprint of the internal combustion engine to Song Yingxing, Song Yingxing would be able to manufacture the internal combustion engine in a few days.

Zhao Wen knows better than anyone what kind of terrifying power the internal combustion engine contains.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true that this young man named Yang Qian'an graduated from university last year and came to the research institute.

After coming to the research institute, he devoted himself to the research of petroleum, and now he finally extracted gasoline and diesel from petroleum.

It's just that Mr. Song thought it was very difficult to purify the oil, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Although I have read His Majesty's book, I only know a little about it! "Ren Qi said calmly.

Ren Qi is not a serious college graduate, so he only has a half-knowledge of the books written by Zhao Wen.

The university textbooks were compiled by Zhao Wen. When compiling the textbooks, Zhao Wen introduced in detail what oil is, what can be extracted from oil, what are the functions of these extracted things, and the applications of these things. .

Therefore, it is not surprising that Ren Qi knows the term oil.

In fact, ancient people also discovered oil and had a certain understanding of oil.

In the "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty, he introduced in detail what oil is.

It is recorded in "Mengxi Bi Tan": The oil in the territory of Yan and Yan, it was said in the old days that "Gaonu County produces fat water",... It is also true for those who know the text as "Yanchuan Stone Liquid".This thing must be popular in the world. It has been covered with oil since the beginning, and it will be born in the ground infinitely...

In ancient times, oil with a relatively shallow burial position was used by people.

In ancient times, oil was often used to make fire oil.

So, this Yang Qian'an can get oil without drilling wells and refine it.

Yang Qi'an was very interested in oil when he was in college. At that time, he could almost memorize everything written by Zhao Wen about oil.

After coming to the research institute, with the support of Song Yingxing, he got some oil and started to refine it.

The hard work paid off, and Yang Qi'an finally succeeded in refining the oil, and refined gasoline and diesel.

Song Yingxing was busy with other things at the time, so although he supported Yang Qi'an, his strength was not very strong.

Because it is carried out in a laboratory, and the conditions are still relatively simple, it is not yet possible to carry out industrial refining and refine more products.

However, even with only these two things, Zhao Wen was very excited.

"Where is this Yang Qi'an now? I'm going to see him!" Zhao Wen said to Renqi, holding back the excitement in his heart.

Ren Qi said: "He's in the front yard, if His Majesty wants to meet him, he can do so now!"

As Ren Qi said, he led Zhao Wen to the front. After a while, Zhao Wen saw a separate courtyard.

This courtyard is not big, much smaller than the courtyards in other places.

"Your Majesty, this is where Yang Qian'an's experiment was conducted, he should be here now." Ren Qi pointed to the door in front of him and said to Zhao Wen.

The gate is black, no plaque, nothing special.

In the research institute, everything is based on research results.If there are no research results, then the treatment is still relatively poor.

Although Yang Qian'an graduated from a university, he didn't have any research results before, so Yang Qian'an's environment and treatment were not very good.After all, in the research institute, everything is based on research results.

Zhao Wen stood at the gate and knocked on the gate.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a young man with a tired face and messy hair came out.

"Yang Qian'an, this is Your Majesty, you don't want to see Your Majesty yet!" Ren Qi pointed at Zhao Wen and said to Yang Qian'an.

But Zhao Wen said indifferently: "If you don't care about it, you can get rid of it!"

Yang Qi'an is young, in his 20s, wearing a white coat covered with oil, and his face is still covered with oil.

His hair was uncomfortably messy and he smelled bad.

"This is a man who does practical things!"

This was Yang Qian'an's first impression on Zhao Wen.

Yang Qi'an heard Ren Qi say that the person in front of him was Zhao Wen, and a bright light burst out of his eyes immediately.

"Minister Yang Qi'an pays homage to His Majesty!" Yang Qi'an knelt down on the ground as he spoke.

"Okay, stop kneeling. I want to ask you something, have you tested gasoline and diesel?" Zhao Wen looked at Yang Qi'an with piercing eyes.

Yang Qi'an stood up straight and nodded heavily, "Your Majesty, I have indeed extracted gasoline and diesel, but they are only extracted in the laboratory at present. If it is industrialized, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Wenlian said three good words. "It is always good to be able to extract gasoline and diesel now. As for industrialization, it will not be too late when the conditions are ripe."

Zhao Wen looked at the yard behind Yang Qi'an, and said, "Where are the gasoline and diesel now? Hurry up and take me to have a look!"

Zhao Wen said impatiently.

Now Zhao Wen can't wait to see gasoline and oil.

"Your Majesty, please follow me!" Yang Qi'an said and led Zhao Wen into the courtyard.

After a while, Zhao Wen came to a concrete bungalow.

This cement bungalow has a relatively large area and a relatively high roof.

In this bungalow, there are a series of equipment.

There was still an unpleasant smell in the air of the bungalow.

Zhao Wen took a sharp breath, a smile appeared on his face.

In later generations, Zhao Wen hated this smell very much, but now Zhao Wen is very excited and happy when he asks about this smell.

"What a pleasant smell!" Zhao Wen was deeply moved.
