Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 284 Queen Ma "Can this really extract gasoline? (278 under review)
After assembling, Chu Ze asked someone to fetch water and put it into the distiller.

This distiller is two people tall, bigger than the largest water tank, with a few shelves on the ground, and a big jar on the top, it looks like a giant.

The waiter carried a bucket, stepped on the ladder, and added water bucket by bucket.

When the addition was almost done, Chu Ze said, "Okay."

"Fire!"

With a bang, raging flames burst out from the bottom of the tank.

As the flames flickered, Zhu Yuanzhang and others surrounded him with faces full of novelty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze swept over the tank body, and then the several pipes protruding from the upper part of the tank.

These tubes are as thick as an adult's arm.

Once the top cover is closed, nothing can be seen inside.

"This is the still you mentioned?" Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched it.

On the huge steel tank, a trace of coolness spread from the fingertips.

It's hard to imagine that such a thing can actually produce gasoline.

Unbelievable.

Chu Ze said: "That's right, this is the distiller."

"Can this really extract gasoline?" Empress Ma looked at the big jar, still in disbelief.

When Zhu Yuanzhang told her, she was curious.

Today, I heard that Chu Ze was going to experiment with the still, so I came here specially to have a look.

I didn't expect it to be such a big jar.

Does this jar really work?

Chu Ze smiled slightly and replied, "Can we still fool our stepmother?"

"Look, everyone."

Chu Ze pointed to the big pot beside him, and said, "The principle of this distiller is to use the difference in volatilities of the components in the liquid mixture to partially vaporize the liquid mixture and then partially condense the vapor, so as to realize its Separation of the constituents."

"Wait, wait, what is it all about?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the first sentence, his head grew bigger in an instant.

He hurriedly interrupted Chu Ze, waved his hands and said, "You tell us directly how this thing can produce gasoline and so on, so there's no need to talk about other nonsense."

"Yes, we want to know too."

"Chu Ze, tell me quickly."

Chu Ze said in his heart, you really can't hold your breath.

But still honestly according to Zhu Yuanzhang's request, and restarted the explanation.

"Petroleum contains a variety of substances, and the volatility of each substance is different. For example, gasoline has a volatility of around 200, while diesel oil has a volatility of around 400. In addition, crude oil also contains asphalt, which can even Distill out lubricating oil."

But diesel and lubricating oil, Chu Ze remembered that something needed to be added.

Chu Ze already knew exactly what it was.

In short, get it out first, in case you remember it someday, can't you use it?

"After the oil is delivered, we can pour the oil into this distiller and continue to heat it below." He has tried it, and it is possible to keep the temperature near a certain fixed temperature, " After refueling, the volatiles will rise with the heat and eventually start to condense in this area and then fall down these tubes."

While speaking, the water in the still was boiling, and the steam condensed and fell down the pipe.

tick.

An almost inaudible sound, in everyone's ears, was like thunder, which shocked everyone back to their senses.

They subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

In the porcelain bowl that was empty just now, a drop of transparent liquid that was almost invisible was lying quietly in it.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the drop of water without blinking.

As if looking at gasoline.

"Is this considered successful?" Someone asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Then, all the eyes in the hall looked at Chu Ze in unison.

Chu Ze looked at the pipe that was slowly dripping distilled water, and replied with a sigh of relief: "For now...it's done. But the specific situation, we have to wait for the oil to arrive and distill it with oil before we know. Is it going to work?" Even if it doesn't work, the problem will only appear in the materials and assembly of the still.

Chu Ze had no doubts about this theory.

But the others directly ignored Chu Ze's last paragraph.

Their minds were filled with Chu Ze's words "It's done"

"It's done."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows quickly turned into a layer of joy: "It's done, hahahaha!"

"Okay, okay, great! Chu Ze, you kid has made a great contribution this time, you are the hero of our Daming! Don't worry, we will never forget your contribution. By the way, didn't you say something before?" What is the fire...Biaoer, tell me." Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he forgot his name.

Zhu Biao stepped forward in time and said, "Flame Thrower."

"That's right, that's right." Zhu Yuanzhang answered immediately, "Don't be silly, take it out quickly and let us have a look."

When it comes to flamethrowers, those who were just happy just now became excited in an instant.

Stills are good, but Zhu Yuanzhang is more interested in flamethrowers.

Zhu Biao told him before that Chu Ze said that the thing was extremely lethal.

If it can be used on the battlefield, their Da Ming's combat power will definitely be multiplied several times.

At that time, he will become a Ming Dynasty, and he will really be able to dominate the world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became a little excited.

Chu Ze knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in this, so he prepared things early.

only……

Forget it, let's demonstrate it first.

Chu Ze stepped aside and took out some strange things again.

After some fiddling, the main body of a flamethrower emerged.

It looks a lot like the bucket used to spray pesticides in modern times.

Maybe it was inspired by the flamethrower.

Chu Ze's thoughts diverged for a while, he filled the bucket with water, and carried it on his back.

The left hand is a hand pump, and the right hand is something like a water pipe.

Chu Ze demonstrated while explaining: "This is a flamethrower. When you use it, you put the barrel on your back and fill it with gasoline. Through this hand pump, the gasoline is squeezed into this throat and sprayed out."

Following Chu Ze's movements, the water in the main body was sprayed out.

But the hand pump is obviously not very flexible, the water column is intermittent, and in the end it just goes on strike.

Chu Ze struggled for a while before the water column appeared again.

Xu Da suddenly said: "Then how to light the fire?"

"This, now has to be ignited manually."

If it is modern, it is enough to install an ignition signal tube mother near the nozzle.

But not now.

No such technology.

So it can only be done manually.

"Then if the fire ignites the gasoline in the barrel, don't we have to burn ourselves?"

Chu Zeyue thought of these questions.

He said: "Don't worry about it, there is something to prevent backfire inside. As long as it is used properly, the situation you said will not happen."

While talking, it was just a hand pump that was not very flexible just now, but now it is completely finished, and the water in the bucket flows out along the hand pump.
