Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 760
Petroleum has been mined by the great Chinese people as early as the Western Han Dynasty, and it was used to replace firewood for fire. However, due to the inconvenient portability of this thing and the technical limitations, it has not been widely promoted.

And it wasn’t called that name at the time, but Shiqi. Knowing that Shen Kuo, a master of science and engineering in the Song Dynasty, named it Petroleum in Mengxi Bi Tan, and made a divine prophecy:

This thing will be popular in the world in the future!

The excavation department of the engineering college specially added a course on oil mining for this purpose. Although this made all the teachers feel baffled, three of the first batch of engineering college students who went out to prospect for mines were in charge of oil.

"But my lord, oil is not as powerful as gas, and it will produce a lot of impurities and black smoke, and the machine will be scrapped in a short time." Song Yingxing said bluntly.

As a master of engineering in the Ming Dynasty, Song Yingxing certainly knew about oil, and also considered using oil as fuel, but the facts proved that it would not work.

"Of course you can't use crude oil directly. It needs to be reprocessed. The specific method will be handed over to you after I go back and summarize it." Liu Hongjian said with a frown.

As a five-good young man of later generations, he certainly knows that oil refining depends on the difference in boiling point. After distillation, the first extraction of crude oil can be used to extract gasoline, kerosene, light and heavy diesel oil, and asphalt.

If technology permits, various refined substances can also be subjected to secondary refining, and more than a dozen different substances such as methane, ethane, paraffin, and lubricating oil can be obtained through heating and catalysis.

It's just how to do this, sorry, he has to go back and read the book!
He doesn't have the super god memory of other traversers, so super god that he can even memorize the content of a certain county's county annals, but fortunately he has books to make up for it.

There is no need to think about the secondary refining. The technology cannot be completed in a short period of time, but simple distillation and separation are not difficult.

After Liu Hongjian finished speaking, the young Sun Yunqiu's eyes widened.

In the two years since the School of Engineering started teaching at the mountain, Sun Yunqiu had seen only a handful of times the head of the mountain himself. In his impression, the master of the mountain was just a layman, so he never thought that what he said just now gave him a heavy slap in the face.

Mr. Shanchang is not a layman, he is obviously a well-informed master of engineering, it must be that the affairs of the court have divided Mr. Shanchang's heart, otherwise Mr. Shanchang will definitely leave his name in the history of engineering studies in the Ming Dynasty, Sun Yunqiu thought so.

Song Yingxing had long been used to Liu Hongjian's shocking remarks. He knew that since Liu Hongjian said it, he would definitely be able to solve the fuel problem, and what he had to do was to realize it.

And Song Yingxing knew that Liu Hongjian would definitely not just talk.

"This is the blueprint of the internal combustion engine. Mr. Song has a good understanding of the principle. It must be developed as soon as possible. This is too important to Daming." Several chapters were torn off and handed to Song Yingxing.

Although Sun Yunqiu's idea is ingenious, a real internal combustion engine is much more complicated than a steam engine.

The weird machine in the house is at best a semi-finished product with one stroke. If the internal combustion engine wants to improve its efficiency, the most suitable is four strokes. This was learned by Europa after decades of trial and error.

Now Liu Hongjian asked Daming to skip this painful process and directly told Song Yingxing the result. Although he didn't know if this kind of progress was good or not, he couldn't care less about it.

Song Yingxing took the drawing without asking where it came from, and put on reading glasses and looked at the window. Sun Yunqiu, who was beside him, also moved over curiously.

After a while, the two of them were muttering and discussing non-stop by the window, sometimes marveling at the ingenuity in the drawings, and sometimes frowning tightly in puzzlement.

On the contrary, Liu Hongjian became an idler and couldn't talk about it. He knew that this was a common problem among men of science and engineering, and after handing over the blueprint to Song Yingxing, he quietly left the steam engine research room.

The fuel for the internal combustion engine is not enough, and the ignition problem is also very serious. Unless he can get out the generator and use electricity to start the ignition, he will not be able to think of other methods in a short time.

After wandering around in the armory for a while, Liu Hongjian transferred to the firearms research room.

The firearms research room is located at the very edge of the wall, and there are no other buildings in the surrounding dozens of steps, which is also considering that gunpowder research is too dangerous.

In the research room, five or six craftsmen were lying on the table doing experiments. When they saw someone coming in without knocking, they turned their heads in surprise.

"My lord... I have seen my lord!" Seeing that it was Liu Hongjian who came, they all left their seats flattered.

"No need to be too polite, just continue with your experiments, I'm just here to take a look." Liu Hongjian nodded with a smile.

The huge long table in the research room is full of various glass test tubes, black gunpowder, various indescribable liquids, and powders. It seems that glass test tubes are the accompanying products of chemical progress. Looking at the glass containers on the table, Liu Hongjian couldn't help thinking of I took a shot of chemistry class.

"Is there any progress in the primer research?" There was a sour smell in the research room, and Liu Hongjian frowned unconsciously.

"Go back to the prince, not... not yet." A craftsman stammered.

At that time, Song Datou only told them that the primer could be made of thormer, which needs to be neutralized with mercury and acid. These days, they have tested almost all the acids they can think of, but they still haven't created the extremely sensitive one. of mercury.

"Don't be discouraged. This king believes that you can make it. In this way, this king will give you a month. If anyone can develop mercury fulminate, this king will personally reward 1 taels of silver and report to His Majesty to ask for credit for him." !"

Liu Hongjian felt that these craftsmen were a bit depressed, so he couldn't help but start talking.

When the craftsmen heard this, their eyes lit up. They didn't even dare to imagine what a fortune 1 taels of silver was, but since the prince said this, he naturally wouldn't deceive them.

It's just that what they value more is the sentence of reporting to His Majesty to ask for credit. There are several people in the Armory Institute who have been awarded martial arts by His Majesty for inventing useful firearms.

Unlike 1 taels of silver, 1 taels of silver may be a lot, but Wu Xun means glory and their status.

"My lord, I will stay in this research room from now on. If I can't develop thunder mercury for my lord, I won't leave this western mountain!" a craftsman gritted his teeth angrily.

The rest of the people also made up their minds. Liu Hongjian saw that the craftsmen finally regained their confidence, and encouraged them to leave the armory.

On the way back home, Liu Hongjian was full of worries. When the grenade, the explosive bomb he had been thinking about, would be able to be assembled on Ming's battleship, there was a long way to go!
However, there was not much time left for Ming to make peace. After experiencing the Taiwan and Palawan naval battles, Liu Hongjian did not think that the Dutch would let it go.

How could this Europa rookie who defeated the Spanish Armada tolerate the loss of Taiwan, and how could he tolerate the death of the two governors at the hands of the Ming people? willing?
Perhaps, the next time I meet the Dutchman, I will never die, Liu Hongjian thought.

When he got home, Liu Hongjian locked himself in the study, took out the basics of heavy industry, and began to read. He directed Daming's eyes to the ocean, so he had to steer well, and all the pressure would eventually come to him... …

Time passed quickly, and it was September in a blink of an eye.

That day Liu Hongjian was reading a book in the study, but he saw Zhang Weixian, the British official, barging in without notification.

"My lord, our fleet has returned from South Merika!"

PS: I recommend a friend's book "China Entertainment Begins in 1980". Wu Jianye opened his eyes and went back to 1980. He became a member of the famous Yanjing Film Academy Class 78, so he started Niu X's Life!
　Thanks to the book friend Mengsk, the person who lives in the memory, I am Wuyun for the 100 taels.
