Behind me is the entire history of mankind!

Chapter 97 Hydrogen Power

A teacher in Lincheng once said to him that when you tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to complete the lie.

However, Lincheng's brain is very good. Although he doesn't lie often, the lies he has told can solve problems very efficiently, and he has never experienced the above situation.

This is the first time we met.

Essentially, that lie did solve things quite efficiently.

It also laid the groundwork for the subsequent explanation of the source of fine salt.

And Lincheng didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that this guy landed at the door so wobbly.

After a pause, Lincheng said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my wife is not feeling well recently, and she can't see people for fear of infecting others."

Well, the next time you encounter this kind of thing, you will say that you have died suddenly and have been buried. After all, in this era, it is very common for people to be alive one second and die the next.

Xun Ying frowned, "Sick? In this day and age, this is not a good thing."

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, "By the way, I still have accessories that are very popular recently, and it should be able to help your wife's condition."

He took out a box from the table on one side and opened it in front of Lincheng. It was a very shiny green ore, like an amulet, with a chain attached to it.

"This is a very magical luminous stone, which emits a mysterious green light at night. Many people believe that this mysterious green light can cure diseases. Many high-ranking nobles have tableware and ornaments made of this stone in their homes. .

This stone is very rare, and the supply is almost in short supply. I also managed to buy it.

In the market, this kind of pendant costs at least three hundred salt coins.

I'll bleed and sell it to you for 150 salt coins. "

Lincheng stared at the pendant quietly. It is not uncommon to see glowing stones. In ancient times, there were many legends about night pearls. It is a kind of fluorite.

But in fact, in modern times, many times, some of the luminous stones you pick up are not night pearls, and most of them are radioactive items.

The thing in front of him is definitely not fluorite, Lincheng can be sure.

Then maybe it is.

"Lincheng, that's uranium." Nuwa heard the result of the chip scan in Lincheng's ear, confirming Lincheng's guess.

He looked at that thing with a slightly strange expression, using it as tableware and accessories?

It reminded him of Europe and America in the twentieth century.

After Madame Curie extracted radium, she found that radium can kill cancer cells, thereby curing cancer.

People at that time believed that since radium could fight cancer cells, it was no problem to deal with other diseases.

Therefore, radium became a health product for people to prevent diseases at that time.People also invented food, toothpaste, and cosmetics containing radium.It can be said that radium can be seen in every aspect of life.

At that time, in the factory, there was a group of female workers who specially added radium to the products.

This was a very popular job in that era, not only with high wages, but also with access to radium.

The female workers all use pointed brushes to coat the surfaces of objects with radium. In order to keep the brushes sharp, they often suck with their mouths, but they are complacent about it.

Even after death, the bones of these female workers can glow green, and lead coffins must be used for burial.

Radiation sickness did not appear suddenly, but accumulated slowly. This time difference also made it difficult for people at that time to quickly attribute it to radium even if they got sick.

Moreover, radium is a very, very rare element, and the proportion of radium added to these products is quite small, which further delays the time.

It takes about three tons of uranium ore to extract one gram of radium.

The refined uranium ore piled up like a mountain and became a worthless waste product, thus giving birth to the "high quality and low price" civilian uranium industry.

During the war, uranium was requisitioned to make nuclear bombs, and businesses continued to manufacture uranium products with depleted uranium.

Uranium tiles are used in about 20% of bathrooms and kitchens in homes and apartments built in the 20s-40s.To this day, these rooms are capable of screaming Geiger counters and glowing green like will-o’-the-wisps at night.

They also thoroughly learned the concept that nuclear weapons should be grasped from dolls, and have issued depleted uranium children's toys, high-sensitivity gas ionization detectors, 3 pole electrodes, 4 uranium ore specimens, etc.Prices are around $500.

Of course, the most "popular" uranium product is uranium glass.

Uranium glass shows a clear yellow-green color like olivine under natural light, and is greener than emerald under ultraviolet light. It is really a good product for making jewelry.

The uranium brooch can be pinned on the chest and the uranium pendant can be hung on the earlobe.

Especially the uranium ring.

A diamond ring cannot bring eternal love, but a diamond ring can,

As long as you die fast enough, you won't have the seven-year itch.

In a sense, it can really cure diseases and kill people. Naturally, no diseases and bacteria will infect humans, and the root cause of the problem is solved.

Many people think that these things no longer exist in modern times.

However... that's just that they underestimated the so-called capital.

These things are just a different way of being.

As the saying goes, if you lose money, you can earn more, but if you lose your conscience...then you can earn more.

In that free country, many drugs are addictive.

Even over-the-counter cold shots and vitamins can contain addictive substances...

It can be said that unless you will never get sick all your life, you will encounter it sooner or later.

The key is that these drugs are still "legal".

Opioids in particular, the so-called painkillers, are nothing more than drugs without the sugar coating.

Over there, in 17 alone, more than 1000 million people abused opioids, and as many as 84 died of opioids.

As long as you use too much of these so-called drugs, your body will develop drug resistance, and you will need to increase the dose. As long as you increase the dose, you will seek more powerful drugs.

But Jinda medicine is too expensive. In the end, people found that it is more economical to take drugs directly.

Why there are so many so-called "drug abuse" in that place, and why so many people take drugs is because of this.

Why do they not want to go to the hospital for treatment and don't believe in so-called vaccines?

It's not that they are ignorant. In a sense, they know this country too well.

In the past, even Coca-Cola contained cocaine.

Lincheng didn't know how depleted uranium became popular, and whether it was also because of the appearance of radium, but it didn't matter to him.

This gave the perfect reason for his "wife" to die suddenly.

And the key point is that uranium is also a very scarce element for them. Although they don't use uranium for nuclear fission, this amount can't make a nuclear bomb.

But it can also be used as a bullet. The depleted uranium bomb has a very strong penetrating ability, and it is almost the nemesis of all armors when combined with electromagnetic guns.

"I thank you on behalf of my wife." Lincheng smiled, "Since you have sold all such precious treasures to me, then I will not bother, I bought all these things."

"Refreshing!" Xunying was very excited, "You are really the happiest transaction partner of all the transactions I have done."

Well, in layman's terms, it's the best way to take advantage of someone, Lin Cheng thought to himself.

At this time, Tesla also came in from the door. He looked at the people present, and then at Lincheng.

"Lincheng, you called me?"

"Are you the one who stood by his side at the Double Tree Trade Association?" Xun Ying said hesitantly.

"Yes, his name is Tesla." Lincheng smiled, "He is the mechanic of our gathering place. He is a genius. Many machines can always glow with new life in his hands. He belongs to my wife. , where is your engine room? Take him to have a look."

Xun Ying nodded, "Come with me."

After speaking, he led Lincheng to the rear warehouse, climbed a ladder, entered the second floor of the airship, and entered the engine room.

The temperature here is very high, and it's a bit muggy. There is a thick oily vapor in the air. In front of them, two engines full of oil stains appear in front of them. A man in overalls is holding a wrench Trying to fix that engine.

Tesla silently walked up to the engine, scanned its overall structure with the Nuwa system, and silently communicated with brainwaves in the communication channel they created.

"The six-cylinder piston fuel engine is a technology of the twentieth century. The horsepower should be around 140 to 170. According to the weight of the ship and the cargo carried, and then calculating the thrust, the speed is about [-] to [-] kilometers per hour."

"Isn't it all anti-gravity systems, why do you still use such an outdated engine?" Einstein, who was watching this scene with a borrowed chip, frowned far away in the base.

"It should be the same as that Apophis skin, a ship made of some kind of special organ that can suspend on Apophis's body, biological nature overrides technical nature, in essence, the target should be an airship.

It's just that hydrogen is not used, which is safer and has a stronger ability to stay in the air. "

"That is to say, if we have fighter jets from World War II, these airships will be crushed?" Lincheng said.

The fighter jets during World War II were almost at 300-500km per hour. Even though these airships have better airborne capabilities, you can't even see the exhaust of fighter jets, let alone jet fighters.

This ability to stay in the air makes it even more of a target. "

"It is possible to crush this airship, but whether it can crush Baicheng is still uncertain, because Baicheng's technology will undoubtedly be more advanced than this airship.

The fault tolerance rate of this airborne ability in the air is much higher than that of fighter jets. As long as the speed increases, it can even make actions that are difficult for ordinary fighter jets.

Imagine how terrifying a fighter that can take off and land vertically does not need a runway to fight at any time. said Tesla.

Lincheng nodded solemnly, he looked at the engine silently, and said.

"Can this engine be repaired?"

"It's not difficult. The crankshaft and piston are broken, but it will be enough to rebuild them with ether particles. With our current smelting technology, it is not difficult to manufacture these materials, but my suggestion is to install a hydrogen-powered engine for them." Tesla said.

"It seems that you think the same as I do." Lincheng said.

Tesla nodded, "The conversion to hydrogen power means that if he wants to refuel, he can only come to us to refuel. This has become a regular business channel for him. After getting familiar with it, we can also do it." Entrust him to collect some materials for us.

The efficiency of hydrogen power is higher than that of fuel oil. We do not use electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen, but use alchemy, which is relatively cheap, so they will naturally be happy to use this kind of engine.

He must know a lot of airship caravans. If this kind of engine can be promoted, this place will become an exchange place for airship merchants, and the economic benefits, information circulation, and material circulation will be incalculable.

But the problem is"

"Sky City also undertakes the industry of building airships, if our hydrogen-powered engine robs their market, will it be coveted or even hostile by Sky City.

And our hydrogen fuel will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the future of the oil industry. In the foreseeable future, Alek Oil City will definitely attack us. "

Lincheng took Tesla's words, paused, and said again.

"But whether they come to us or not, this is something that needs to be done.

If we curb our own development because we are afraid of being powerful, we are no different from those scavengers who sell transformation potions as blue blood.

No matter which world or era you are in, your own strength is always the foundation of your foothold.

But before that, we need to get more information about Sky City. "
