Primitives are stunned

Chapter 440 Petroleum Distillery

Some plants in nature are pollinated by honey, butterflies, flies and other flying insects, and some are pollinated by wind.

But the Shagua is not like any of these creatures.

In the desert beyond the Blackwater Lake, the natural environment is too harsh, there is no rain all year round, and flying insects such as bees and butterflies cannot survive there.

Not only that, but the environment in Zhao Village was like being indoors, and the wind seldom even blows.

Therefore, in order to survive, a special way of survival has evolved between the Shagua and its natural enemy, the melon badger.

That is, the sand melon contains its melon powder in the whole plant. This melon powder will be quickly decomposed in the stomach of the melon badger, and then stimulate the excretory system of the melon badger, so that it can be excreted after being processed by the melon badger role.

This is also the reason why, when melon badgers steal melons to eat in the melon fields, they will excrete while eating.After the melon badger is excreted, the melon powder of the sand melon will be decomposed.

The pollination of sand melon is also different from other plants, it is pollinated by root absorption.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Shagua and melon badgers form a cycle of mutual growth and mutual restraint.

The growth of sand melon needs the excrement of melon badger.The melon badger needs to eat sand melon to absorb water.This cycle goes on and on, which is why there are always melon badgers nearby in the melon fields of Zhao Village.

In the past, when Wang Hao didn't give Zhaocun the ironware, the people of Zhaocun couldn't do anything with the thick carapace badger.

The combat power of the two sides is evenly matched, and the melon badger can always eat the sand melon, and at the same time excrete feces to help the sand melon pollinate.

But when the iron sword and the black sword spread to Zhao Village, although the number was scarce, Zhao Yun and the others had the capital to easily kill the melon badger.

In this way, in order to enjoy Shagua exclusively, the villagers of Zhao village will not be polite to melon badgers.

When the melon badgers died in large numbers at the hands of the villagers of Zhao Village, Shagua gradually lost its pollinators.

In this way, Shagua naturally wouldn't live long.

There are still two main reasons why Wang Hao did not help Zhao Village solve this problem last time.

The first is that his strength was weak at the time, and he had to ask Zhao Village for help in the face of the joint attack of the Nine Dragon Mountain Alliance.

This secret was told to Zhao Village in advance, so who would pay attention to Wang Hao at that time.

Of course, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that Wang Hao did not have the ability to help Zhao Village solve this problem.

The melon badger is a strange creature that evolved from oil.

They live in oil and eat oil.If they are left out of oil for a long time, they will gradually die like fish out of water.

Only when their bodies are short of water, they will come ashore to eat sand melons to replenish water.

Therefore, the plan to help Zhao Village catch melon badgers and then artificially raise them to fertilize Shagua is not feasible.

The melon badger cannot be away from the oil for a long time, and the people of Zhao Village cannot keep the melon badger in the oil lake.

But now, Wang Hao has a solution to this problem.

With the help of systematic identification techniques, he found several acidic plants in the wilderness.

These plants are put together and boiled into a mucus, and then aired to below zero with the help of the winter temperature, it will become the same as the stomach acid of the melon badger, which is enough to decompose the sand melon and separate the melon powder inside.

At that time, Zhao Village will be able to solve the problem of growing sand melons as long as they sprinkle the separated melon powder on the melon fields planted on the underground river.

Zhao Cun extended a helping hand to Wang Hao twice in a row, which made Wang Hao very pleased.

Therefore, when Zhao Village's envoy came to borrow food from Wang Hao, Wang Hao would naturally not be stingy.

Just as the wheat on the other side of the Grand Canyon was ripe, thirty carts full of wheat and ten carts of fish followed Wang Hao on the road to support Zhao Village.

Faced with such a generous Wang Hao, the emissary from Zhao Village burst into tears, eager to repay Wang Hao's kindness.

Needless to say, the importance of food in the Great Wilderness.Especially in winter, food is the life of people in the wilderness.

Originally, he thought that Wang Hao would not be too much if he was willing to borrow food just because of his past affection.

Borrow two or three cars at most.

But who knew, Wang Hao lent them forty carts of food all at once.

With these foods, their people would be able to survive this winter no matter what.

When he went to Zhao Village this time, besides twenty black armor soldiers and a hundred wild men pulling carts, Wang Hao also brought ten Gulus.

Since the Gulu who met in the Grand Canyon came to Hwaseong, everything related to construction in Hwaseong was entrusted to them.

Just like after the last war, they repaired the damaged houses in Hwaseong.

After that, the cellar where food was stored in Qiucai was dug, and it was also the ground wall they built with bricks.

There are also those expanded granaries, arsenals and other buildings, all of which are the fruits of their labor.

And since Wang Hao wanted to take them with him this time, he naturally wanted to build buildings in Zhao Village.

No one can deny that oil is a very important resource.How could Wang Hao tolerate the fact that there are oil fields nearby, but not develop and utilize them?

In the past, there were insufficient manpower, insufficient time, and insufficient ability to reach the level, which put Zhaocun's oil field on hold.

But now, with enough time and sufficient manpower, Wang Hao naturally wants to develop oil.

There are many ways to extract gasoline from oil, but for Wang Hao, the only way that can be achieved so far is distillation.

Crude oil will start to decompose at 350 degrees, and this reaction process only takes a few seconds.

As long as he understands this truth, Wang Hao can decompose gasoline even if he boils crude oil in a large pot.

It's just that the output of this stupid method is too low, and the income and expenditure are not proportional.

It is foreseeable that there are too many places where Hwaseong will need gasoline in the future.

When Huacheng is upgraded to a third-level tribe in the future, ordinary weapons will not be able to kill the enemy on a large scale in the face of the overwhelming attack of monsters attacking the city.

Especially for those flying creatures, it's okay to say a small amount, but once the number is too large, there is no solution at all.

However, Hwaseong has conquered the coal mines, and when the ground thaws next spring, the coal mines can be mined and iron smelting started.

With iron, Wang Hao can make a flamethrower that can spray gasoline.

Weapons of mass destruction like the flamethrower are really perfect for defending against the overwhelming attacks of birds and bees in the future.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Wang Hao finally decided to build a distillation base in Zhao Village and produce gasoline near the Petroleum Lake.

Petroleum distillation equipment already belongs to the third-level technology.

Level [-] systems can also download Level [-] technologies.However, downloading a third-level technology requires continuous accumulation of the power of faith for three months.

However, the production line of petroleum distillation is divided into more than ten parts.

There are filling machines, heating furnaces, transmission equipment, etc. If you want to download all these things, Wang Hao will be fine unless you don't use the system for four or five years.
