I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 839 Fire Oil Distillation Workshop
Su Song seems to have a deep understanding of kerosene, maybe it was a big accident that made Workshop City pay attention.

Very standard operation.

Everyone, including Zhao Xi, was replaced with brand new cotton clothes, and even the boots were replaced with pure cotton ones.He did not carry any items on his body before entering the stone ester distillation workshop.

"In a big accident, I have to be more cautious and cautious. Although I know that I have overcorrected, but in order to avoid accidents, I have to do so."

Su Song guided him in while explaining to Zhao Xi.

"For safety's sake, it's okay to be cautious."

For such an attitude, Zhao Xi could only agree with it, without any displeasure.

"These are derived from the gunpowder workshop in the early years of the government. This approach is really effective."

Although Su Song is very cautious, after all, he doesn't know much about the characteristics of oil.

actually.Zhao Xi didn't know much about it either.

Zhao Xi from the distillation workshop did not comment, but when Zhao Xi saw the storage methods of gasoline and diesel, Zhao Xi felt a little inappropriate.

The densely packed iron barrels are placed one after the other in the open air. Such danger cannot be avoided by strict workshop management.

Although Zhao Xi doesn't understand the storage of oil, he has seen that the oil stations in later generations are all stored underground.

Such an open-air arrangement is still so compact... It's not unheard of for Zhao Xi to have natural fuel.

Although Zhao Xi didn't understand the boiling point and ignition point of light gasoline, he could still feel the danger of such storage.

"Zirong, what can be extinguished after the fire is lit?"

"Going back to the official's house was accidental. During a test of the power of the fuel oil bomb, the second round hit the hole of the first round."

"Due to the short interval between the two kerosene bombs, after the second round was fired, the effect of the first round has not completely disappeared. The power of the second round was instantly extinguished by the blasted sand."

"That's why I think that kerosene bombs can be extinguished with sand and soil."

Zhao Xi originally wanted to bring up this topic, but Su Song did not expect such an accidental event to be caught.

Most people who are obsessed with science are meticulous.

"Old Su Ge, only sand can put out fire oil?"

"Wang Xiang, we will know the power after testing."

Although Su Song put the fire oil distillation workshop in the workshop city, it was close to the bank of the Bian River.However, knowing that this is a military aircraft, two walls were used to connect the workshop city and the Bianhe River.The fire oil distillation workshop is enclosed in an independent space.

This space includes the proving ground for pyrotechnic bombs...

Su Song led the officials and the cabinet into a steep tunnel, and gave each of them a telescope... This thing is not so rare in the imperial court now.

Take a telescope and look in the direction pointed by Su Song. In the distance, there is a mountain of earth that I think is piled up.

Su Song whispered a few words to the accompanying workshop craftsman, and saw the craftsman throwing the red flag a few times...~Su Song also figured out the semaphore, which was used in the preparation of the navy this time.

Suddenly there was a "bang", and another bang, and the earth mountain in the telescope ignited...~
At this time, a few people appeared from the ground in the field of vision, dragging the patrolling water dragon, spraying towards the burning earth mountain...

As the water dragon sprayed a large amount of water on the earth mountain, it was found that the flame was not big at first, but suddenly the flame felt like an explosion.

Quite shocking.

Then, the person who came out of the pit began to throw sand on the mountain from a distance.

After a while, the earth mountain that was still blazing into the sky just now turned into thick smoke.

You and the cabinet watched it with gusto, and Zhao Xi also pretended to be excited.

"The power is no worse than gunpowder bullets."

Zhang Dun has experienced war and seen the power of gunpowder.

Wang Shao also nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

"Indeed, in terms of pure lethality, kerosene bombs are even more powerful than gunpowder bombs. They can kill a large area and make the enemy lose their combat power."

Su Song and the others came to this conclusion after comparing the power of a single kerosene bomb and a gunpowder bomb.

Zhao Xi knew that real grenades were not comparable to gasoline bottles and gunpowder bombs.

It's just that the power of black powder is not necessarily stronger than gasoline bottle gunpowder bullets in terms of lethality.

The point is, this thing is more difficult to deal with than gunpowder.

Su Song didn't lead the officials and elders to visit the storage place...~Zhao Xi didn't even think about going.

Too dangerous.

"Zirong, I think gasoline... oh, it's just the first pass of distilled oil, so it's too risky to pile it up like this."

"Since sand has restrictions on kerosene, why not store oil drums underground?"

"This place is close to the Bian River, and several small water channels are introduced to form a circulation here, and the fire oil barrels are buried in the ground. It is safer to store it this way."

Zhao Xi didn't know the cooling method of storage tanks in later generations, even if he knew, it probably wouldn't be possible in this era.

Water flow cooling may be able to try...

"Officials, I will arrange it later!"

Su Song is gradually getting familiar with the characteristics of these oil products, and also feels that there is a problem with this arrangement.

The official reminded him like this, and he immediately understood the reason.

The cabinet members don't know if they really understand, or they are still thinking about the power of the kerosene bomb ignited just now.Neither said anything.

"Zirong, how many oil products are there in the distillation of stone ester?"

"Returning to the official's house, there are at least two types, and sometimes there will be three types."

At this time, there is no decompression and supercharging distillation. Zhao Xi knows that it should be gasoline and no, occasionally diesel.

"Take a small amount and have a look."

After a while, someone brought over two clay pots of oil.

Zhao Xi sniffed them one by one... Well, it's this smell.Gasoline and kerosene.

"Find an oil lamp..."

All the cabinet members, including Su Song, don't understand what the officials are going to do.

Although the workshop city is considered the wealthiest group in the country, it is not to the extent that every household lights candles.Oil lamps were the most common form of lighting.

"Uh... shake off the oil in the oil lamp, take away the gasoline... why don't you just go out...~"

In this distillation workshop, Zhao Xi did not dare to light the fire casually.

The group changed their attire again and returned to the office in the workshop city.

Zhao Xi would definitely not bring the oil lamp and kerosene with him.

After sitting down again, Zhao Xi poured kerosene into the oil lamp and lit it with a torch...

Except for the oily smoke, there is no difference from the lighting of ordinary oil lamps.

"Officials, but can this oil be promoted for civilian use?"

Wang Anshi's life can be said to be the most simple among the cabinet ministers. Although it is not as luxurious as Bao Zheng's, it is definitely not as luxurious as others.

Other cabinets may not use oil lamps for a long time.Wang Anshi used oil lamps more often than candles.

It doesn't mean that Wang Anshi is poor. There is no courtier who does not participate in various industries of the country, and everyone has some extra income.

It's just that Wang Anshi's character is like this.

The moment he saw the government lighting the oil lamps, he first thought of promoting civilian use.
