I became the son of Renzong

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.

Chapter 840 Caused by Oil

Zhao Xi still knows what the current oil lamps are like.

Although there are almost no oil lamps in the inner garden now, there are still some in the inner garden in the early years.

At that time, there were oil lamps in Wang Zhong's main room.

Zhao Xi also knew that most of the oil that people used to light their lamps was sesame oil.

"What Wang Xiang said is very true. This oil should be popularized for civilian use... let's call it kerosene."

"Jifu, then you and Zirong will set a price for kerosene and promote civilian use as soon as possible."

Zhao Xi dragged the cabinet to the workshop city today, not to see the power of kerosene bombs.

Selecting kerosene to promote civilian use is one purpose, and the other is to look at the workshop and storage of distilled kerosene in Workshop City.

I was busy some time ago, although I also knew about the accident at the kerosene workshop in Workshop City.

He needs to find a suitable excuse, and he can't be too late to predict the future.

"How do the officials know that... that kerosene can be used for oil lamps?"

No, even so, Wang Anshi still asked.

As for the others, they have long been accustomed to the unconstrained thinking of officials, so they are not surprised by it.
