Opening game, American Tycoon

"Have you thought about it?"

Eugenie asked again.

Facing the Queen Mother's inquiry, Queen Maria said in a firm tone.

"Yes, I have to leave here, otherwise... I feel that my whole body will be suffocated. Everyone is looking at me with pitiful eyes. In their eyes, I am a wife who has lost her husband. The widow of a saint."

Saint's widow.

Four years ago, Eugene was canonized as a "Saint Martyr" by the Pope.

In addition to the title of Queen, Maria has an additional title of "Saint's Wife". For a woman who is only 25 years old to bear such a title, it is extremely heavy.

Even if she wants to use travel to resolve everything, no one will ignore her title.

"My poor child."

Eugenie, who felt a little pain in her heart, looked at Maria in front of her. The sunlight reflected in the office through the window sprinkled on Maria's beautiful face, as holy as a saint.

"Promise me that you will take good care of yourself and protect yourself in the future, okay?"

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Looking at Maria, she didn't even notice that her tone was a little trembling.

"Are you sure you want to go to Daming?"

On the other side of the world, Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty had no idea when he would gain another title.What's more, someone has already "planned" on him.

"If you decide to leave here, I will not object, my child. You know that I have always loved you."

Sissy was there because of the scenery, and that little brat was there because of the man... Thinking of this, Eugenie's heart was filled with jealousy.

"Yes, go to Daming. Didn't you say that the scenery there is not found in Europe? And Queen Elizabeth has been traveling there for several years, I want to go there and see..."

What a little fool, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?
But...if she goes to Daming, at least she can add trouble to Elizabeth, so that her life will not be so comfortable, saving her from writing letters and showing off her sexual blessing all day long.

Chang Minghai's report aroused Emperor Zhu's interest immediately.If he guessed right, it should be diesel.

She stayed there, by his side.

Now she is back in Paris, but what about Sissy?

"Let's go to the New World."

Looking at the holy daughter-in-law standing there quietly in front of her like a saint, Eugenie's heart tightened involuntarily, and she thought to herself... If you go by like this, it's not like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.

"Well, we also extract another high-temperature oil from heavy oil, which is different from gasoline and kerosene. We are still studying its use, although it will emit a lot of black when it burns. Smoke, but it has many advantages. First of all, its calorific value is higher than that of gasoline. The engine with the same quality of gasoline and this kind of oil and the same thermal efficiency should be able to provide more energy. use on..."

After a while, when Maria exited the office, breathing the residual perfume leaves in the air, Eugenie, whose eyes were a little blurred, bit her lips and whispered.

"This is cheap for you bad guy..."

my silly boy.

"Have you decided where to go?"

"Oh?"

When this idea came to her heart, the little devil in Eugenie's heart became stronger and stronger, and even an inexplicable feeling emerged in her heart.

As an emperor, even if he is physically strong, the king will not do things early in the court, and he can't do it every day, he still has to do the business.

Chang Minghai, the president of Imperial Oil Company, couldn't help but look at His Majesty a few more times when he mentioned "heavy oil".The oil refining industry in Ming Dynasty began with waste oil—in the 1860s, Texas oil was mainly used to extract kerosene, but a large amount of gasoline and heavy oil were produced during the refining process.At the time, gasoline and heavy oil found no use and were difficult wastes for refineries to process.

Eugenie was taken aback by Maria's answer.

"...It is estimated that we will import 2000 million tons of oil from Mexico this year. These oils are produced in the refinery through still-type intermittent distillation or still-type continuous distillation to produce automobiles for automobiles and kerosene for lighting. Of course, the largest amount is Heavy oil, about 60% of heavy oil will be left after extracting gasoline and kerosene. Your Majesty, at present, there will be 1200 million tons of heavy oil left in our refinery every year. Except for burning ships or generating electricity, almost It's of no use."

God knows, if it wasn't for the accident that year, she would have almost stayed there.

A sheep into a tiger's mouth... that guy wouldn't, wouldn't... just swallow this pure little sheep alive.

"Oh, my child."

The Nanhua Company imports waste oil, re-refines it, and supplies gasoline to vehicles. In addition to refining lubricating oil from heavy oil, it also extracts asphalt for road construction. It was not until a few years ago that heavy oil replaced coal as the fuel for Ming ships. The main fuel, and this is all thanks to His Majesty's invention of the nozzle for burning heavy oil, that is, the burner.

"Go to the New World?"

Thinking of this, her mind became flustered, and even her breathing became a little short.

Walking to Maria's side, Eugenie gently took her hand and said.

……

"Yes, I want to go there and have a look. I've always heard Ou Ren say how outstanding Emperor Shengde is, and I'm curious about everything there."

Compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines have stronger power and a wider range of applications. Diesel has just invented diesel engines for a few years. Although diesel engines were still very primitive at the time, they were used in merchant ships due to their excellent performance, and later on locomotives. .In the end, it was diesel locomotives and electric locomotives that eliminated steam locomotives and made steam locomotives a thing of the past.

"The company can increase research in this area. If a breakthrough can be made, millions of tons of oil can be utilized a year."

When he said this, the principle of diesel engine that he had learned while studying flashed in Emperor Zhu's mind, maybe...you can try it.

What he cares about is not turning millions of tons of "waste oil" into treasure, but that diesel engines can be used in a wider range of other fields, from automobiles to locomotives to merchant ships.Leaving aside the use of diesel engines to improve Daming's tanks, even if it is used to improve submarines, it can also improve the performance of Daming's "killer weapon" by leaps and bounds.

After all, compared to gasoline engines, diesel engines not only have more power, but are also safer. More importantly, diesel engines are more fuel-efficient. The same fuel can turn Deming's submarine force into a real ocean-going sword!
Diesel engines... seem to have a head!
