Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 60 Research Projects of the Academy of Sciences
After Li Changfeng said goodbye to Emperor Qianwu and the others, he went straight to the scientific research institute.

The Research Institute is an extremely important place in Baishi City and cannot be ignored.

But fortunately, even if he was not in Baishi City, there was still no trouble in the scientific research institute, and there were more guards here, so even the secret agents couldn't sneak into it easily.

After turning around, Li Changfeng found Liang Dafu in a simple modern laboratory.

Liang Dafu was wearing a white coat and was concentrating on studying a mass of dark liquid, unable to notice the arrival of other people.

Seeing his dedication, Li Changfeng couldn't help sighing, he is indeed a scientific research genius who can develop artillery from scratch with the help of his corresponding ideas and designs. His enthusiasm was enough to infect even a lazy guy like him, wanting to work hard.

Therefore, Li Changfeng decided to stay away from this kind of people, otherwise he would be infected, how could he continue to make bad pictures in the future, and let them make a lot of money for him and develop advanced technology.

He coughed twice, and Liang Dafu, who was studying, was startled awake. Seeing that it was His Highness, he immediately said pleasantly, "Your Highness, you are back!"

Li Changfeng said: "Old Liang, how is the scientific research funding of the scientific research institute?"

Liang Dafu pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, there are still 4000 taels of scientific research funding left. According to the current five scientific research projects carried out by the scientific research institute, it can only last for one and a half months at most."

Li Changfeng lamented that scientific research is indeed a bottomless pit. Thirty-four thousand taels is a considerable wealth, but it is only enough for the research institute to last for one month. This is because the research institute is currently only conducting research on five projects.

But he also knows that these five items are very important, one of which is artillery.

After a pause, Liang Dafu seemed to think of something, and said, "Your Highness, it should only last for a month, because you shot too much against the Black Thorn Beast a while ago, which resulted in running out of stock. Your Highness, next time you shoot Be careful when shooting, don't shoot so much, shoot less, it will last longer. So, can you last longer, Your Highness?"

Li Changfeng: "..."

Damn it, why did the taste of a very common sentence change in Lao Liang's mouth?

He smiled on the surface: "Old Liang, this prince has always been persistent, and next time he will last for a day and a night."

Liang Dafu frowned and said: "Your Highness, one day and one night are too long, the evil beasts can't bear it, and neither can you. Such a long time will do too much damage to your body, you still need to take a proper rest."

"Hehe, Lao Liang, you are not a woman, and you can't understand the staying power of this prince at all. I think back then, this prince was fighting against Dongying Island, picking ocean horses in the west, fighting barbarian goddesses in the south, fighting the grassland queen in the north, and fighting thirteen girls for three days and three nights." , causing them to become dehydrated, but this prince is the only one who remains undiminished in energy and stands upright, known as No. 1 in stamina."

Li Changfeng chuckled, expressing that he didn't want to continue discussing this kind of topic with Lao Liang. Why did the two big men talk about such a topic? You don’t have to save it, understand?”

"10 taels!"

Liang Dafu didn't understand the meaning of His Highness's previous sentence, what does endurance have to do with women, but he was surprised and delighted when he heard that it was 10 taels: "With so many taels of silver, I can last longer. Oil is not a simple matter, it burns money!"

Li Changfeng patted Liang Dafu on the shoulder and encouraged him: "What are you afraid of burning money? My prince can make money, just burn it!"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket and handed them over: "10 taels, enough for you to last for a while!"

Liang Dafu quickly took the bank note, his eyes sparkled, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Enough! Enough!"

He wasn't excited about the money, but because with so much money, he could do better research.

As for how His Highness got so much money, he, a scientific researcher, never asked, because the only thing that interested him was scientific research.

Li Changfeng asked: "How is the research on the purification of kerosene going?"

Kerosene is oil.

When Li Changfeng vigorously built Baishi City, he sent a survey team to survey the surrounding area of ​​Baishi City, and accidentally discovered an oil field in the mountains several miles away.

Even Li Changfeng was very pleasantly surprised by this, he did not expect to find an oil field.

You must know that oil has many wonderful uses, and the purified gasoline and diesel oil are only one of them. In addition, asphalt can also be extracted.

Of course, it is quite difficult to purify oil into gasoline, diesel, etc. with the technology of this era, at least it is difficult even for scientific research talents like Liang Dafu, so Li Changfeng only mentioned it to Liang Dafu at the beginning. That's all.

As a result, gasoline and diesel oil were not extracted, but asphalt was extracted.

To be rich, build roads first.

Li Changfeng agreed with this very much, so he made use of the asphalt.

Now the main streets of Baishi City are paved with asphalt and gravel, replacing the dirt and stone roads that were muddy when it rained.

However, what Li Changfeng wants most is gasoline and diesel.

Mentioning this, Liang Dafu suddenly became excited: "Your Highness, we have conducted countless experiments according to the kerosene distillation method you proposed, and have repeatedly improved the distillation equipment. Now we can produce gasoline that barely meets the standard!"

"is it?"

Li Changfeng showed a look of surprise.

With qualified gasoline, he can start researching internal combustion engines and use them for experiments at any time, which is crucial to his plan.

Liang Dafu nodded: "How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? According to what you said, gasoline is the first to boil. We pumped it out and cooled it with ice cubes to obtain gasoline. The combustion characteristics are basically the same as what you said! "

Li Changfeng patted Liang Dafu on the shoulder, and praised: "Old Li, you have done a good job. You can play at any time in heaven and earth, and the whole consumption will be counted on my prince!"

"Women will only affect the speed of my scientific research, I'm not interested!" Liang Dafu shook his head and said, "Now we can't accurately control the temperature, the boiling point is not accurate enough, and there are many impurities in the gasoline, but I believe, Give me a little more time and I'll be able to produce perfectly compliant gasoline!"

"it is good!"

Li Changfeng was extremely happy. After laughing, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how is the improvement of smelting technology?"

The smelting technology of the Dagan Dynasty was extremely backward, which was the basis for industrialization. Li Changfeng invested a lot of money in this area.

So far, the Academy of Sciences has mastered the most advanced smelting technology in Daqian, but it is still far from his requirements.
