Villager of Daming

Chapter 505: Export sales in exchange for industrial promotion (second update)
If there were no electric lights, and electric lights could be used for lighting in the team at any time, then the glazed kerosene lamp in front of you would be like a magic lamp.

It is much brighter than other lights. The ordinary people in Ming Dynasty cannot afford it, and it is meaningless for the rich to use it. Money flows internally, and there are ways to get their money out through other means.

It is best to sell to barbarians.Have the Yi people seen such a good thing?Let the barbarians exchange oil, right?

"Lichang, is there any oil outside?" Zhu Biao thought that it would not be easy for him to mine, so how about changing it?

"Your Highness, during the Tang Dynasty, there were people who simply purified oil and turned it into naphtha.

They have carried out rough processing, because the local oil is light oil, and then simply distilled to produce naphtha.

They used naphtha as a weapon of fire attack, something like our pump, to spray enemy ships during sea battles.

Wooden boats are most afraid of burning oil, which cannot put out fires, and it is impossible to turn around easily on the water.

Once sprayed with naphtha, ignited, the ship is gone, a tactic that works very well, and someone falls for it every time.

Just like when our Ming army fought against the Xia Kingdom in Sichuan, there was no way to do it before, but later a sign floated up upstream, not only telling us where the friendly army had occupied, but also confusing the enemy's army.

Afterwards, I carried the boat upstream and broke the iron chain Hengjiang in one fell swoop, because the upstream can set fire to the downstream. "

The head of the village told Zhu Biao that there are some outside, let them bring them over and exchange them with us, 28 to [-], or [-] to [-]?

"How much is the difference between the two? It doesn't seem to be much? No, the difference is nearly seven percentage points! It's much worse, especially in terms of pure profit."

At first, Zhu Xi heard that 28 to 666 and [-] to [-] felt that the difference was not that big, then he did the math, [-]%...

How much profit does the Danqing Box Rice Restaurant in Xiaqiu Village make?What is the interest rate for borrowing?
The key is not the relationship between annual interest and monthly interest, but the profit difference of a transaction.

Zhu Biao then asked, "With steam engines as power, can ships use electric lights?"

As soon as he asked what he said, Hanhan who was always beside him with a silly smile nodded his head.

Yep!Once a steam engine ship sails, does it still need kerosene lamps?
Um!Required, because the power system may experience temporary failures, even with dual system protection.

In fact, it is not considered that way. The kerosene lamp is only used as a spare. Under normal circumstances, the steam engine power system can be connected to the generator at any time.

What can a ship floating on the sea have electricity, what can it do?
Once the resistance wire is made, you can have an electric stove and be able to cook.

The lighting system is equally powerful, such as a lamp with a larger wattage and a lens added, like a lighthouse, which illuminates far away.

In close combat, it can disrupt enemy ships while also luring fish and increasing the protein intake of the crew.

Even if the ship is big and there are many ships in the fleet, vegetables can be grown in the cabin and lighting can be provided.

During the night battle, the ships of the fleet complete the coordination through the language of lights, yes, the ships fight at night.

Turn this electricity into light, and use the lens principle to fight against enemy sea ships at night.

In the current era, there are no conditions to fight in the sea at night.

The boat chase at night depends on the weather and luck. Only the stars and the moon can find the other party's boat and chase it down.

The captain nodded: "It's not just electric lights. After electricity is available, it is connected to an electric motor, which is used to draw anchors and transport goods as a crane, such as trawl nets. When the nets are drawn, the electric motors rotate."

Zhu Xing then said: "Can the ballista mounted on the ship be pulled away with it?"

"It can provide power for the bed crossbow, but your highness, our Ming navy doesn't use crossbows, we use cannons, and when we go back, your highness will see the smoothbore cannon that your majesty asked to forge, which belongs to the mother and child cannon.

Let's use it first, and when we have free hands, we can build better guns. We don't need to fight with the enemy, sink them, and defeat them before we get close.

The manufacturing of firearms relies on standardization and refinement. With continuous strong power supply, other auxiliary tools can be used. "

The head of the village first admitted that the electric motor can pull the string to launch the bed crossbow, and then told Zhu Xi that we don't need it.

"You can see good guns when you go back? There were cannons before, made of copper, and big firecrackers. They are not very easy to use, just like firecrackers are not as good as flintlock guns."

Zhu Xiang's eyes lit up, looking forward to seeing better artillery. He believed that the technology provided by Xiaqiu Village was definitely different from before.

"Your Highness, don't worry, with the improvement of the smelting process, our Daming will have more and more good things.

So many iron ores have been dug out, as well as blast furnace iron smelting and open hearth furnace steel smelting. How could His Majesty not use them to make weapons?
Our Ming craftsmen are amazing!As long as you give them some ideas and aren't afraid of wasting materials, they can make amazing things. "

"That's right, we are not afraid of waste, not to mention that the iron is useless, and it can be used to make steel. The biggest advantage of the open hearth furnace is to re-smelt scrap iron and scrap steel into steel.

After remanufacturing a few lamps, let's use them first, and take all the oil, as well as the asphalt and paraffin.

When we get to the Northland, maybe it can be used, at least it can be used to light a fire, because the winter there is cold.

I feel very cold now, the winter in Yingtianfu is not as cold as it is now, it's only September. "

Zhu Xi said it was cold, and couldn't help shivering.

He said that September is the lunar calendar, and the frost has already fallen. Today is October 24 in the Gregorian calendar.

If the temperature is a few degrees lower, the place by the river will be covered with thin ice at night.

The key point is that the wind in Xi'an is strong and whistling, taking away all the heat on the human body surface.

……

Seeing something good, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi began to sell soap to improve food for the craftsmen who built the palace.

Those who manage the greenhouses took over the logistics, and the former supervisor, Dai Jia, continued to oversee the project.

Everyone rested in the evening, and the commander came to Hanhan and said, "Can the gasoline be used to burn the enemy? It doesn't seem to be of much use."

"Yes, put gasoline in a glass bottle, then extend a cloth strip from the mouth of the bottle, let the gasoline soak the cloth strip, ignite it, throw it out when the fire is a little bigger, and burn a large piece.

Putting a little white sugar in as a thickener is better, anyway, it can burn for a long time, and it can't be extinguished if it sticks to the body.

However, gasoline can be used to clean oil stains. If the paint is too dry, use gasoline to dilute it. "

Zhu Wentian introduced a simple weapon, let's talk about industrial use.

Others will have to wait until he builds an internal combustion engine. The technical requirements are relatively high and a spark plug is required.

"Oh! It's better to dilute the paint. Those officials and supervisors must take the risk so that His Highness can spare their lives."

The head of the village turned to the matter of officials. They were only greedy for a small amount of food money, and the key influence was huge.

They dare not touch the project money, they just bully the craftsmen and common people.

"I don't know how to make money. If it were me, not only would I not deduct the food expenses, but I would also give everyone extra meals, and get benefits by the way."

Zhu Wentian also thinks that the officials are stupid, and now they have to get back the money they have corrupted and double the punishment.
