Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 790

"What a pleasant smell!" Zhao Wen took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication.

"Your Majesty, gasoline and diesel are stored here!" Yang Qi'an stood beside Zhao Wen, and he pointed to a table not far from Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen walked towards the direction pointed by Yang Qian'an, and came to the table.

This table is very large, and some instruments are placed on it.

There were two iron cans on this table. Although the openings of the iron cans were sealed, Zhao Wen could still smell the gasoline.

Moreover, standing next to the tin can, the smell of gasoline is very strong.

Yang Qi'an took one of the tin cans and took off the lid.

The strong smell of gasoline hit his face, filling Zhao Wen's nostrils.

Zhao Wen looked inside the tin can, only to see that it was half filled with gasoline.

Yang Qi'an took out a beaker and poured some gasoline from the iron can into the beaker.

Zhao Wen looked at the gasoline in Yang Qian'an's hand with a smile on his face.

"Not bad, not bad!" Zhao Wen praised repeatedly.

The quality of the gasoline is not very good, it is yellowish in color.

However, it is already very good to be able to refine gasoline in this era.

Zhao Wen took the beaker from Yang Qian'an's hand, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"The current gasoline quality is not very high, and if it is to be put into use, I'm afraid it needs to be refined again!" Zhao Wen put the beaker in his hand on the table and said to Yang Qian'an.

Yang Qi'an said: "What your Majesty said is very true. I read from the book written by Your Majesty that high-quality gasoline is transparent and colorless. The current gasoline is light yellow in color and the quality is not very good.

But Chen already has a research direction, and it is estimated that Chen will be able to produce high-quality gasoline in a short time. "

Zhao Wen nodded again and again, "Yes, indeed. How about this, I will give you some information in a few days, and you can refine it according to the information I gave you.

Also, not only gasoline and diesel oil can be extracted from petroleum, but also many things can be extracted.You have to try more in the future, don't be afraid of failure, the more times you fail, the higher the probability of success. "

In the following time, accompanied by Yang Qian'an, Zhao Wen visited all of Yang Qian'an's offices.

Zhao Wen also suggested improvements to Yang Qian'an's work and some equipment.

By the time Zhao Wen left, it was already night.

Zhao Wen sat in the wood-burning car, looking at the receding street lamps on both sides of the road, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

The role of oil is so great that Zhao Wen can't imagine it.

Although Zhao Wen doesn't have the technology to refine oil yet, according to Yang Qi'an, refining gasoline and diesel is already possible in the laboratory.

It is estimated that it will not be long before industrialized refining can be realized.

At that time, it doesn't matter if you can't refine other things, as long as you have gasoline and diesel.

After Zhao Wen returned to the palace, he sat in the imperial study without thinking about dinner.

Zhao Wen asked Chen Donglai to take out some rice paper, and then began to write on the rice paper.

The content of Zhao Wen's writing is related to the refining of oil.

If you just refine gasoline and diesel from petroleum, the difficulty is not high.

When refining petroleum, according to the different boiling points of various components of petroleum, fractional distillation can be used to extract straight-run gasoline, kerosene, light and heavy diesel oil, and various lubricating oils from crude oil.

This is only the first processing of oil, and the first processing is to prepare for the subsequent processing.

These products produced in the first processing process are still only semi-finished products, and a series of means are needed to turn semi-finished products into finished products.

When processing semi-finished products, processes such as catalytic cracking, catalytic reforming, and hydrocracking are required.

These processes can be realized in the laboratory, but it is not so simple to realize them in industrial production.

After all, industrialization and laboratories are two environments.

Yang Qi'an's ability to refine gasoline and diesel in the laboratory does not mean that it can be produced industrially.

Zhao Wen wrote on rice paper the detailed refining process of oil, including industrialized fractionated oil.

These things were in the chemistry textbook when he was in high school, so Zhao Wen naturally knew the process of oil processing.

However, these things are not very detailed, and the processing of oil in high school textbooks cannot be detailed to the rules.

In addition, Zhao Wen majored in engineering when he was in college, so he is still somewhat lacking in petroleum.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Wen stood up from his chair and stretched.

On the table in front of Zhao Wen, there were a lot of rice paper.

On these rice papers are the rules and regulations for refining oil written by Zhao Wen.

Of course, because the knowledge reserve is limited, these contents are not very detailed.

However, Zhao Wen believed that Yang Qi'an would be able to completely refine the oil based on what he wrote.

After all, what Zhao Wen wrote about oil in the university textbooks before was not as detailed as this time.

"Oil refining is complete, now it's time to extract the oil.

However, it is still difficult to extract oil now.Exploiting oil requires high-strength alloy steel drill bits and a series of accessories. Although Xuanzhen can manufacture the accessories, it is really not easy to produce high-strength alloy steel.

Although the steelmaking plant in Xuanzhen can now produce high-strength alloy steel, the strength of these alloy steels is still not as strong as that of drill bits.

Now the drill bits produced by Xuanzhen Iron Works can be used, but don't think about using them for a long time. "

Zhao Wen walked back and forth in the imperial study room, thinking about these questions constantly in his mind.

The night outside the window became more intense, and there were not many sleepless people left in Xuan Town.

The imperial study room in the palace was still brightly lit. Zhao Wen was sitting at the desk, holding a bowl and drinking chicken soup.

Zhao Wen was thinking about the problem while drinking.

"Forget it, with the current industrial foundation of Xuan Town, it won't be able to produce the drill bits of future generations in a short while.

Anyway, there are still wood-burning cars, so let’s put this matter aside and talk about it later. " Zhao Wen put down the bowl in his hand and muttered to himself.

"It seems that it is time to take out the courses of future generations of universities." Zhao Wen looked at the rice paper on the table and said to himself.

Among the universities in Xuanzhen, the textbooks used are all compiled by Zhao Wen.

When Zhao Wen compiled these textbooks, he followed the standards of high schools in later generations. Although some university knowledge was involved, it was not very deep.

With the development of Xuanzhen's industry, the teaching quality of the university can't keep up.

Zhao Wen recalled the lessons learned by later generations and began to write.

Among them, Zhao Wen was the first to write about metal materials, after all, this thing is the most important thing for Xuanzhen now.

……

Early the next morning, when the sun rose to mid-air, Zhao Wen yawned big and stood up from his chair.

"It's not easy, it's not easy." Zhao Wen stretched his waist, and then tidied up the table.

"Give these things to that Yang Qian'an!" Zhao Wen handed over the sorted things to Chen Donglai.

"Then what about these?" Chen Donglai looked at the remaining things on the table and asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry about these things now, find a box later and put them all in," Zhao Wen said.

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he yawned and walked outside.

After breakfast, Zhao Wen slept for a while, and woke up around noon.

Zhao Wen rubbed his sore eyes and walked out of the bedroom.

Just after walking two steps, I saw Chen Donglai walking over.

"Your Majesty, Song Yingxing asks to see you!" Chen Donglai said to Zhao Wen.

"Song Aiqing?" Zhao Wen muttered, and walked towards the imperial study.

When Zhao Wen came to the imperial study, Song Yingxing had been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Zhao Wen walking in, Song Yingxing saluted hastily.

Zhao Wen waved his hand and sat on it, "You don't have to be polite, Ai Qing!"

"Why is Aiqing here today?" Zhao Wen looked at Song Yingxing who was standing below, and asked.

Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty went to the research institute yesterday, but I was not there at that time, so I came here to see His Majesty on purpose today, and reported the recent situation of the Institute to His Majesty."

Song Yingxing took out a booklet from his arms as he spoke.

Chen Donglai came down, took the booklet from Song Yingxing's hand, and put it on the table in front of Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen took the booklet and flipped through it.

"Yes, the research institute is not bad now." Zhao Wen looked at it for a quarter of an hour, roughly reading it.

"By the way, are you familiar with Yang Qi'an Aiqing from the research institute?" Zhao Wen looked at Song Yingxing, thinking of Yang Qian'an whom he met yesterday.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this person is a student who studies hard and can endure hardships. However, he has a strange problem, that is, he is a bit sloppy.

The yard he was in was granted to him by the minister before. Before it was granted to him, there was no peculiar smell in it and it was very clean.

However, since it was approved to Yang Qi'an, this yard has been abandoned, and there has been a strange smell in it, and it is also full of rubbish.

And he doesn't clean up himself, every time there is a meeting in the courtyard, he almost always comes to the meeting in tatters and sloppiness. "Song Yingxing said.

"Heh!" Zhao Wen couldn't help becoming curious when he heard Song Yingxing say this. "Why do you still have such a personality?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true that this person's family background is not bad. His family used to be a local gentry in Xuan Town, and then started a business again. Now it is mainly engaged in soap business, selling to the south, and the family has a lot of property.

It stands to reason that the children from this kind of family are basically clean, but Yang Qi'an is the only exception. "Song Yingxing explained.

"If that's the case, then give him a few assistants who are in charge of his daily life!" Zhao Wen said.

Song Yingxing looked at Zhao Wen in surprise, he never thought that Zhao Wen would value Yang Qi'an so much.

Although Song Yingxing also knows the importance of gasoline and diesel, Yang Qi'an has only refined them in the laboratory, which is far from industrial refining.

Looking at Song Yingxing's appearance, Zhao Wen also understood the gentleman Song Yingxing thought of.

Zhao Wen said: "I know what Aiqing is thinking, in Aiqing's opinion, I may feel that I have indulged him too much.

However, Ai Qing, you should know that although the textbooks I compiled for universities contain oil-related content, there are not many of them.
Because at that time, I felt that Xuanzhen at that time was not capable of mining oil, nor was it capable of refining oil.

However, it is a miracle that this Yang Qi'an managed to extract the oil with such little content.

It can be seen that this Yang Qian'an is a very capable talent.Therefore, it is very normal to pay attention to it a little bit. "

"Since that's the case, then I'll start making arrangements!" Song Yingxing replied.

"Okay, Aiqing can step down!" Zhao Wen waved at Song Yingxing.

"Resign!" Song Yingxing saluted Zhao Wen and exited the imperial study.

After Song Yingxing withdrew, Zhao Wen also walked out of the imperial study and headed towards the courtyard where Zhao Mingyu was.

Although oil is very important, tomorrow is the grand reserve ceremony, which is a very important matter right now, so Zhao Wen can't help but ask.

The courtyard where Zhao Mingyu lives has been officially renamed the East Palace, after all, he will soon be crowned prince.

Today's East Palace is filled with officials from the Ministry of Rites. These officials will teach Zhao Mingyu various etiquettes for tomorrow's grand ceremony.

Zhao Mingyu was very busy these days, but he never cried out that he was tired.

Also, if you call yourself tired at this time, you don't know the severity.

Just as Zhao Wen walked to the gate, the busy eunuchs and maids standing in the courtyard found Zhao Wen.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The eunuchs and maids in the courtyard hurriedly saluted Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen walked into the gate and said to them, "Be flat!"

The officials in the yard also hurriedly saluted Zhao Wen.

At this time, Zhao Mingyu was standing in the front hall, trying on the clothes worn by the prince.

The etiquette system of the new dynasty inherited from Ming Dynasty, so in terms of etiquette system, it is similar to that of Ming Dynasty.

According to the Ming system, the clothes worn by the crown prince are boa robes.

It is similar in shape to the dragon robe worn by the emperor, except that the decorations on it are somewhat different.

The emperor's dragon robe is a golden dragon with five claws, while the python robe worn by the prince has only four claws.

It can be said that the python robe worn by the prince is second only to the dragon robe worn by the emperor.

Although Zhao Mingyu is young, he is very patient.

He stood in the hall and let the eunuchs and maids around him wear python robes.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites next to him were still talking about various precautions for the ceremony of establishing the crown prince.

Zhao Wen stood in the yard, looked at his son, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"The little kid who was still a toddler back then is starting to grow up now." Zhao Wen said with a smile on his face.

"It's all taught by His Majesty!" Chen Donglai who stood aside flattered him.

At this time, Zhao Mingyu also saw Zhao Wen standing in the yard.

Standing around Zhao Mingyu, the eunuchs and maids serving Zhao Mingyu and the officials of the Ministry of Rites also spotted Zhao Wen.
