Ming Dynasty: Zombie Emperor, breaks out of the coffin and Fengtian Jingnan

134 Hanzhong industrialization has begun to take off!

Yanchuan, an inconspicuous small county town in Shaanxi!

However, this county is rich in something called Yanchuan stone liquid!

The world's earliest written record of oil is found in the Book of Han written by the Eastern Han historian Ban Gu.

Historically, oil was called stone paint, paste oil, fertilizer, stone grease, fat water, combustible water, etc., until the Northern Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo proposed the scientific name of oil for the first time in the world.

According to Shen Kuo's records, oil is produced in Yanzhou and Yanzhou, and local people often collect it in crockpots for lighting.

The oil resembles pure lacquer, burns like a burning hemp pole, and emits a thick smoke, which blackens the tent.

Shen Kuo named it petroleum, and made ink with petroleum carbon black, which was ideal in terms of luster and brightness, so it was manufactured in large quantities and named "Yanchuan stone liquid", and Su Shi evaluated "above the pine smoke" after using it.

To put it bluntly, there is oil in Shaanxi!

Zhu Li wants Hanzhong to achieve industrial start-up, oil must be one of the indispensable energy sources, just as important as rubber!

Over the years, in fact, the Hanzhong Research Institute has been secretly getting some oil from Yanchuan County to do various research and refining!

In fact, the main thing is how to refine oil!

There are so many things that can be separated from oil, such as gasoline, diesel, heavy oil, asphalt and other chemicals!

At different temperatures, these components can be separated directly from the crude oil!

After several years of research and experimentation, the research team is now able to extract diesel and bitumen from oil!

Although the degree of this refining cannot be compared with the advanced technology of later generations, it can be regarded as the first step!

Zhu Li also believes that as the refining process becomes more and more mature, gasoline will definitely be refined in the future!

But as far as the diesel and asphalt that can be refined are concerned, it is very valuable!

With diesel, Zhu Que can start working on the internal combustion engine!

With asphalt, you can build a highway in the true sense of the word!

It's not that asphalt pavement is necessarily better than cement pavement, it's just a difference in characteristics!

The cost of asphalt pavement is definitely much higher than that of cement pavement, but in the same way, the bearing capacity will be much stronger!

Cement pavement is smoother than asphalt pavement, hardness is much stronger than cement pavement, and asphalt pavement is more granular, with a certain degree of extension, compared to cement road will be much softer!

If it's just a horse-drawn carriage, or a pedestrian pass, the concrete pavement is enough!

But if you wait until the diesel internal combustion engine is developed and heavier trucks are manufactured, the practicality of cement pavement is not as good as that of asphalt pavement!

The heavier the body, the faster the concrete pavement will be damaged!

Asphalt pavement is more advantageous in this regard!

With the development of industrialization, more and more places will be used in the future!

When he had nothing to do, Zhu Li took Zhu Yuanzhang to the experimental site of the research institute!

At this moment, the research team is using asphalt extracted from oil, mixed with sand and gravel to pave the road!

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that this paving method was similar to the cement road, but he soon discovered a problem, that is, paving this asphalt road is much more troublesome than paving cement road!

Whether it is labor or other aspects, the cost is much higher!

"Lao Jiu, since asphalt roads are more expensive and more troublesome to build than cement roads, why should we study asphalt roads?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly with a puzzled look.

On the other hand, the bearing capacity of asphalt pavement is much higher than that of cement pavement, and the life of asphalt pavement will be several times higher than that of cement pavement under the same use conditions!"

Zhu Li explained with a smile.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly showed his expression.

"Let's go, Father, Erchen will take you to see the internal combustion engine that Erchen is developing!"

Zhu Li said to Zhu Yuanzhang, then nodded and walked in the direction of the laboratory.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stepped forward and followed!

He knows the internal combustion engine! (Read the violent novel, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!)

In the book that Zhu Li gave him before, there was a mention of cars that only existed in later generations!

Zhu Yuanzhang now also knows the importance of oil, although he also knows a little, he also knows that there is a thing called a car in the later life, which can run fast by itself without being pulled by horses!

Of course, whether it is the research of internal combustion engines or oil, it is still at the stage of research!

That's not like a steam engine, although the steam engine currently produced does not meet the standards required by Zhu Que, but it is a technology that can be used in real terms!

Zhu Li took Zhu Yuanzhang to visit the laboratory and take a look at the internal combustion engine under study.

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand it at all.

Afterwards, Zhu Li directly took Zhu Yuanzhang to see the steam textile machine and steam engine generator under study!

Compared to the use of internal combustion engines and oil, steam weaving machines and steam generators are much easier to achieve!

And there has been a breakthrough now!

"'The generator you told us about before, this is the thing?'

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the experimental model of the steam generator, he asked with bright eyes.

Although the steam generator in front of him looks very huge, but the thought that with this thing can directly send electricity, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart can't stop a burst of excitement!

"That's right, but it's still only in the experimental stage, and if you want to officially put it into use, it will take a few months at the earliest!"

"But it's still no problem to show Father how this steam generator works!"

Zhu Li nodded with a smile, and then let people show Zhu Yuanzhang!

In fact, there is no need for any extra operation, directly connect the circuit of the steam generator to the prepared line, pass through the wire, and then light the light bulb at the terminal!

It is said that the light bulbs produced at present are naturally incomparable with the tungsten lamps of the later generations!

Just a vacuum technology, with the existing technology in Hanzhong, it is very difficult to do!

Therefore, the loss value of the bulb will be much higher than the commonly used bulb in later generations!

But even so, it was an epoch-making progress!

When the light bulb was first invented, was there no way to ensure the service life?

As the researchers began to add coal to the steam engine, when the steam engine began to operate, the electricity generated by the generator really lit the light bulb at the terminal!

However, not long after, the light bulb that had just been lit suddenly exploded, which also startled Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Looks like you have to find a way to solve the voltage problem!"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Li said thoughtfully.

It is not difficult to make a generator, it is not difficult to light the bulb, the difficult thing is how to make the current stable, and let the bulb achieve lighting for a long time! .
