After unloading the supplies on the ship, Yang Fan asked the Huotou Army to boil water and everyone took a bath. This order made the officers and soldiers feel a little dazed. Take a bath. It had been a long time since they had taken a bath.
Yang Fan's personal barracks had organized immigrants many times and had experience in handling personal hygiene. They used plastic woven cloth to build bathtubs and burlap cloths as bath towels, and thoroughly cleaned all these people.
Rinsing the scalp and hair with relatively high-temperature water can kill lice and lice eggs. It is a bit hot and uncomfortable. There is also a folk remedy, which is to wash your hair with kerosene, which can kill lice.
When Zhang Shize gets back the Menghuo oil, Yang Fan can distill gasoline, kerosene, diesel and asphalt. Then he will shave their body hair and wash their heads with kerosene to eliminate the lice.
These people took a hot bath and each of them rubbed off almost half a kilogram of old mud. Finally, their skin regained its original color.
Yang Fan believes that the spirit of an army comes from its neat military appearance. An army of slovenly beggars will not have combat effectiveness.
What these people didn't expect was that when they came out of the bath, they found that their clothes were missing. Their rags were thrown into a large pot and disinfected with boiling water.
The officers here are waiting to measure their bodies, and some doctors accompanying the army are checking their bodies to see if there are any infectious diseases and other diseases.
Finally, they were given new clothes, underwear, shoes and socks.
These people have not been issued new military uniforms for more than ten years. They are all as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Although these military uniforms are weird, they are easy to put on and take off. They are also very agile to move around and are more suitable for the training life of crawling around than robes.
In the evening, when these soldiers, who had been cleaned and put on new military uniforms, stood in front of Yang Fan again, they clearly felt that their temperament had changed. They looked like an army.
The formation training in the past few days has obviously had an effect. The soldiers' eyes have become brighter, no longer the dull and numb eyes before.
Dinner is white rice and braised fatty pork.
Each person filled a large pointed pot, and then poured a large spoonful of stewed braised pork that melted in the mouth. The fragrant red soup soaked the rice, and just looking at it made people want to become a gourmet.
, and swallowed it down in a voracious meal.
Uncle Dingyuan kept his word. If he said to eat meat, he would eat meat. If he said to eat white rice, he would eat white rice.
He immediately gained the trust and love of all officers and soldiers.
They have been deceived by Shangguan so much that they are numb. The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are all professional liars. They just lie. Next time, they will find another reason and continue to lie. The soldiers are even afraid.
It was only when they arrived at Nanyuan that they realized that they were soldiers for the first time. They knew for the first time what an army should be like. Over the years, they had hardly lived in a regular army.
In the afternoon, another group of carriages drove into Dahongmen. Zhang Shize returned with ten carts of kerosene.
Zhang Shize parked the motorcade outside the house where Yang Fan worked, and a stench suddenly rushed through the door.
The smoke caused Yang Fan and the two ladies to immediately stop working and come out to check.
Most petroleum has a strong odor, which is caused by the different volatile components contained in the petroleum. Petroleum with a high content of aromatic components has an ether odor, while petroleum with a high content of sulfides exudes an ethereal odor.
Strong pungent odor.
Under the sun, Zhang Shize bared his teeth proudly and smiled proudly. Behind him were ten loads of kerosene. The carriages on these carriages were covered with oilcloth, and the cracks were sealed outside using the method of twisting boats. It seems that this kind of vehicle is
Specially designed to transport crude oil.
"How about it? If I say I can get it, I can get it. Are your equipment ready? My Menghuo oil has been delivered."
Yang Fan excitedly came to the car to watch. He used a wooden stick to pick up some viscous fire oil, and it looked like a liquid sliding down like paint. That's right, this is it, this is crude oil.
"How is it? Can it be used?" Xiao Niangpi put her handkerchief around Dan's mouth and nose, and came over, asking in an angry voice.
"It's not a big problem, you can try it." Yang Fan said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start right away." Zhang Shize couldn't wait any longer.
Everyone drove the carriage under the distillation tower and started loading.
Yang Fan's device uses heating distillation. Crude oil distillation uses a kettle distillation method. The crude oil is fed into the distillation kettle intermittently and is heated under the kettle for distillation.
However, the efficiency of a single still was too low, so Yang Fan connected 10 stills in series and fed crude oil continuously. This device is called continuous still distillation.
As the distillation kettle is heated, the reaction gradually begins. With different temperatures, different oils will come out.
Before 130 degrees, the first thing to come out is gasoline. It accounts for about 4.2% of the total mass of crude oil. The gasoline that flows out is collected in a large jar of 50 kilograms and sealed.
"Master, is this yellow liquid gasoline?" Lin Yueru felt dizzy smelling the smell of gasoline.
"Yes, these are gasoline, the raw materials for us to make incendiary bombs."
Xiao Niangpi said: "It seems that the output is not very high." That's why so much crude oil comes out."
Yang Fan comforted her and said: "Don't worry, there is other oil. Increase the temperature."
The soldiers began to add a small amount of coal under the firewood, and the firepower came up immediately, and the temperature began to rise. When the temperature was between 130 and 180 degrees, as the temperature increased, liquid flowed out again.
This time it's a yellowish clear liquid.
Yang Fan knew that what came out this time was kerosene. He quickly asked the soldiers to use jars to collect kerosene from the pipe.
Pure kerosene is a colorless and transparent liquid, which turns pale yellow when it contains impurities. It has a slight odor. This time, the girls took away their handkerchiefs. The smell of kerosene was very small.
Kerosene is volatile and flammable. After volatilization, it mixes with air to form an explosive mixture.
Kerosene burns completely, with sufficient brightness, stable flame, no black smoke, no lanterns, no obvious odor, and little environmental pollution.
Zhang Shize looked at the clear kerosene and couldn't help but ask: "What can this oil be used for?"
Yang Fan said: "This oil is used to make lamp oil. Mass production is cheap and bright. This is a big business. Selling lamp oil is a big market. After all, who doesn't light lamps?"
After saying this, everyone immediately became interested. Who wouldn't be interested in a big business that can make money?
Soon, all the kerosene was produced. Kerosene accounts for about 9.9% of crude oil.
"It's gone," Xiao Niangpi looked at the discharge pipe curiously. There was already a trickle of water flowing there.
"Well, there's only so much kerosene, it should be gone. Let's continue heating." Yang Fan picked up the pipe, looked at it and said.
Soon the temperature reached ℃. At this time, new oil came out. This time the color was more mixed and unstable. The appearance was water white, light yellow or tan liquid.
Yang Fan knew that this oil was diesel.
