I became the son of Renzong

Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou are, after all, the gathering places of the maritime merchants of the Guochao. Such a nondescript team going to sea can easily arouse speculation.

Even in Dengzhou, the huge fleet can only go to sea in batches, and even the style of the warships has been camouflaged.

Without the momentum of the navy going out, and without any ceremony, dozens of warships just went out to sea scatteredly.

However, Zhao Xi seems to be paying more attention to this team... Wang Zhong is coordinating things in Dengzhou.

······

After the court completed these matters of going to sea, the country entered a period of stable development. Except for the addition of some fishing boats and fisherman detection by the Imperial City Division, the court had no other response.

"Zi Rong, stone ester distillation, did you find anything?"

At the end of another discussion, Zhao Xi suddenly remembered the matter of asking Su Song to distill oil.During this period of time, the focus of business was on Takumi, but he forgot about oil distillation.

"Returning to the official's house, I have been thinking about this recently. I found that after distillation of the stone ester, different oily substances will appear when cooled to different temperatures. After testing, the kerosene bomb is the first layer, or the first time. Cooling oil..."

Zhao Xi actually doesn't understand the principle of oil distillation. According to Su Song, the so-called first layer should be gasoline.Zhao Xi knew that gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil would be produced by distillation of petroleum, but Zhao Xi didn't know whether asphalt was also distilled.

At this moment, Zhao Xi wanted to take a look.

"Elders, do you have any government affairs that need to be dealt with urgently? If not, let's go to the workshop city to have a look."

Petroleum distillation, since the finished product for making kerosene bombs has been produced, Su Song must be basically familiar with the characteristics of various oily substances after petroleum distillation.

Zhao Xi doesn't remember whether he told Su Song about the precautions for distilling oil...

All the ministers thought that the things that can make kerosene bombs should be in the workshop city, after all, they are new armaments.But when they arrived at the workshop city, they discovered that the workshop for distilling stone ester was built outside the workshop city, on the sandy land near the Bian River.

"Very violent?"

Zhang Dun had seen the power of kerosene bombs before, so he asked this question when he saw this situation.

"It's quite violent. The water leaked out after the first distillation. Three people were killed and five people were seriously injured. Although these five people survived, but... life is better than death!"

Hearing what Su Song said, Zhao Xi was sure that he had never told Su Song about the characteristics of oily substances such as gasoline and kerosene.I'm ashamed.

These things can be completely avoided as long as you remind yourself a little.

"Zirong, will this thing turn into a big fire if it sparks a little? And it's hard to extinguish with water?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhao Xi can only pretend to understand but half understand and ask.

"Returning to the official's house, it is true. It was only after Shen Tianci reminded me that I placed the distillation workshop outside the city and set up heavy guards. After understanding the characteristics of these oily substances, I placed the guards underground. ..."

"Shen Tianci understands?"

"Returning to Wang Xiang, the real source is the book of excessive fantasy, so I re-read it. I read it in the early years, I just found it novel, and now I read it, but there is a lot of useful knowledge."

Mentioned in Excessive Fantasy?Zhao Xi was puzzled.It's been decades, and I can't remember many things clearly.At that time, maybe he still remembers the original era clearly...

Except for Wang Zhongzheng, there are not many other people who know about the excessive fantasies of officials.The old Taiwei of the Cao family is gone, and the old craftsmen who were in the early days when Cuju Express was founded are gone...

"Elder Sima Zi first mentioned the "Shan Hai Jing", but thought that the creatures in it were too absurd and nonsensical, so he didn't take it as a reference when writing history. The iron mentioned in the "Shan Hai Jing" was certainly not a pre-Qin thing. Now it seems that iron is just a Ordinary things."

"Perhaps this fantasy is too much, and it is not a ghost, or it may be written by strange people and popular among the people..."

Wang Anshi's explanation really made Zhao Xi helpless...

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...~
