Liu Ling really didn't know what the emperor was doing, but under the impulse of the empresses, he could only report what he saw, saying that the emperor did a "stinky thing", which made him smell all day long. His Majesty ordered the baggage battalion to dig several large pits deep in the open space of the cavalry brigade camp of the imperial guards, and then built them with bricks and stones, and applied them with green paste mud. Then he put all the horse manure collected by the cavalry brigade into it, covered it with seals, and dug some pottery pipes around it.

As for what these things are made of, Liu Ling didn't know, but he heard from the emperor that he would use the gas produced by the fermentation of horse manure buried in the pit, and then use pipes to lead it out, use fire to flammable, and use fire to light the lamp, and even replace firewood and charcoal to keep warm and cook. Now His Majesty revolves around the horse manure every day, and in summer it is stenchy, maggots everywhere, and the environment is very harsh, which is simply disgusting. He only went there for one day yesterday, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't eat. Today he found someone else to accompany His Majesty.

Liu Ling was confused about what the emperor did, and he knew nothing about it, and he didn't know anything about it. Therefore, the queen and the others were even more confused and didn't know what the emperor did. But one thing was clear. The emperor was in the cavalry brigade every day, and did not go to other places, and dealing with the dirty things, not just looking for flowers and asking the willows. However, although he didn't know what to do, he vaguely felt that His Majesty was working so hard that he was doing a big thing.

In fact, they guessed it well. Zhao Bing was doing something that transcends history. Of course, the original intention was to solve the problem of garbage siege. He considered using a large amount of manpower to send feces and garbage out of the city, and it would be better to try to digest some of it in the city and use it. Now, since it is still in the farming era, most of the garbage is degradable organic matter, and the best way is to convert it into usable biogas through fermentation.

Zhao Bing knew that biogas is a mixture of multiple gases, and its characteristics are similar to natural gas. In addition to direct combustion, biogas is used for cooking, drying agricultural and sideline products, heating, lighting and industry, biogas can also be used as fuel for internal combustion engines and the production of chemical raw materials such as methanol, formalin, and carbon tetrachloride. The feed liquid and sediment discharged after fermentation by biogas device are rich in nutrients and can be used as fertilizers and feeds.

However, Zhao Bing also knew clearly that it did not mean that he understood it. After having this idea, he still used a safe way to advance with small steps and quickly, first conduct experiments to accumulate experience, then trial them on a small scale, and then promote them on a large scale after the technology is mature. After all, the use of biogas is also dangerous, and if it is not done properly, an explosion will occur.

The reason why Zhao Bing first chose to start the experiment in the army was that one was that the imperial guards and wing troops stationed in the capital were nearly 100,000,000, which were also large garbage producers; the other was that the army was disciplined, well-trained, and could do the orders that were not only easy to operate, but also easy to promote; the third was that it was easy to mobilize manpower in the army, and there were not so many long-winded things, let alone ask why, and there were many concerns.

In the trial of the people, the people need to have a process of accepting new things and lack understanding of the changes and benefits brought to life by biogas. In addition, the people lack knowledge and means of biogas operation and management of biogas, which is difficult to ensure the normal operation of biogas. In addition, the civilians have weak maintenance and maintenance capabilities for supporting equipment, and it is easy to have danger. It is far less than the conditions and promotion conditions for piloting first in the military.

In addition, this is a lesson from the past. As London, the first to put biogas into practical use, many people will think of the gas lights that light up at dusk. Before this, the streets were illuminated by whale oil lamps, which looked much brighter because of the light of the gas lamps. At first, people were afraid of the light of the gas lamps. Ladies were disgusted with the skin condition too clearly and their faces looked bad.

Moreover, there is a risk of explosion when used indoors. Compared with oil lamps, the walls and ceilings are more likely to be stained, so they are quite unpopular. Due to these reasons, the first places to use gas lamps are shops, theaters, street lamps and other facilities. It was not long before it expanded to the public areas of the home such as the entrance, living room, and dining room. Finally, it was the dormitory. The pace of popularization of gas lamps was very slow.

Of course, Zhao Bing was not greedy, and wanted to let the Song Dynasty enter a new era of biogas as fuel. His plan was to solve the problem of garbage disposal, and first use it in public places, and choose to be in open areas rather than indoors when it was considered safe. The most suitable one was the lighting system, and this was also in demand. The main roads, city defenses, military camps, and even the imperial palace needed lighting at night.

Zhao Bing’s plan is to lay out the city during the experiment and build the pipelines and build the pipelines before lighting and renovating the city defense system. You should know that this is also a big money-burning household. Every night, lanterns and torches must be lit on each city gate and city wall to prevent someone from sneaking in without authorization. At present, the main thing burns is vegetable oil, which cannot withstand this every day even if it is cheap, which has become a huge expense.

After gaining initial experience, it was promoted to the main roads of the city, palaces, military camps and military weapon monitoring workshops, thereby consuming a lot of urban garbage. As for promoting household registration, Zhao Bing thought it would be better to forget it. The houses in the city were mainly made of wooden structures. Once there was a leak in the air, it would be a disaster. If it was not done well, it would burn the camps and turn Lin'an into a sea of ​​fire.

The cavalry brigade camp is not far from Beigong, where not only thousands of officers and soldiers are stationed, but also thousands of war horses are raising. There is sufficient raw material for producing biogas. So Zhao Bing chose the cavalry brigade as his experimental base. In theory, he is very clear about the conditions and principles of biogas production, but there is always a distance between theory and practice, and the technical testing conditions and the required related equipment are both from modern times and in heaven and earth. Everything needs to be considered and planned.

The production of biogas is not just a hole to fill the raw materials. It also requires relevant equipment and operating specifications to be put into use. As the "inventor", Zhao Bing is also half a bottle of vinegar and crosses the river by feeling the stones. Needless to say, others, so they all start from scratch. Only Zhao Bing is capable of presiding on this project, so naturally he can do it himself and get some stench.

Zhao Bing knew that there were many difficulties from planning to practicality, but he also knew that this was an opportunity to promote the development of technology. There was no ready-made technology in the building of biogas tanks, the sealing of pipelines, the transportation and control of gases, and all of them needed to improve or redesign and manufacture the old equipment. You should know that there is no valve that controls the opening and closing of biogas, let alone instruments used to measure gas pressure, he could only try to use the current materials to design.

In order to improve the scientific and technological level of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing not only gathered the craftsmen of the craftsmanship, but also gathered more than 20 students selected for the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, and took this opportunity to "learn together" to popularize basic physics and chemistry knowledge to them in practice, thereby changing their inherent concepts and understanding of nature, and opening a window for them to re-understand the world.

Zhao Bing's fresh on-site teaching method naturally made the scholars who could not pick their shoulders, lift their hands, and were not stuck in mud when walking. The hot weather, harsh environment, and the filth all over the ground were undisgusting, but he was fighting on the front line, and of course these people did not dare to complain about being tired, but they did feel the magic from it, and the phenomena that were difficult to explain in the past also found the answers here.

Facing a group of novice students, Zhao Bing, as a teacher, has a headache. A problem that can be easily solved in modern times has to rack his brains at this time. For example, the yield of biogas is important to the pH of the fermentation liquid. In his previous life, he could get the results by dipping it with a ph test paper, but now he can only observe it with his eyes.

When you find that the liquid in the biogas tank is a little blue, it means that the liquid is sour. If a white mask is on the liquid, it means that the liquid is sour. When the liquid is sour, take lime and put it in a bucket of clean water, stir it thoroughly before pouring it into the pool from the feed port and stirring it so that the lime clear liquid is in full contact with the liquid in the pool. When the liquid is sour, use green weeds that are chopped into inches in advance to pour the urine of the livestock and then ferment it outside the pool, then put it into the pool from the feed port and stir it evenly, and make it fully in contact with the liquid in the pool to restore it to normal.

There is also a problem of pressure monitoring. If the pressure is low, it is not enough to ignite. If the pressure is high, it will not only cause the risk of detonation, but also involve the bearing capacity of the pipeline. In modern times, a few pressure gauges can solve the problem, but not only does not exist, but there are not even standards at present. This requires Zhao Bing to manufacture simple measuring instruments and formulate standards so that experience can be converted into data and quantified.

From the perspective of promotion, quantification is also necessary. Here, horse manure is the main raw material, but some places may be human manure, pig manure, and even grass and straw. Different weather, season, temperature, and proportion of feeding have different results. Without data support, it is difficult to achieve large-scale promotion and utilization based on experience alone, which requires continuous exploration and experimentation.

Zhao Bing also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he couldn't stay by the biogas tank every day to collect data. Therefore, he knew that the most important thing for his current situation was to complete the basic work of talent cultivation, standard formulation and data solidification, and future work could guide these students to complete a lot of follow-up work.

As for the systematic research on science and disciplines, it is difficult to complete. What Zhao Bing needs to do is not to let the students trace the root of the source and understand the microscopic world that is still difficult to see at the moment. He can only tell them the principles and laws of material changes to change, and then conduct in-depth research in the future. For this reason, he also built a laboratory in the Cavalry Brigade. Of course, the facilities here are still very simple, but they can also complete simple physical and chemical experiments, verify the theories he proposed and formulate relevant standards.

Now Zhao Bing is going to court to discuss matters, review official documents, deal with emergencies, and do these things. He is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground every day, and he doesn't have time to change clothes and take a bath. When he returns to the harem, he naturally brings the smell home. Despite this, he is still tired and happy. Compared to fighting the world and governing the people, he feels that this is the life he wants.

Zhao Bing felt that maybe he could not be remembered in history, but he felt that the history of science and technology might have recorded a note for himself, which led to the development of science and technology in China hundreds of years ahead of schedule. There may be no Newton's law in the textbooks, nor are there any measurement standards such as Watt, Kelvin, Ampere, Candela, and Moore. The world is based on the data and naming standards formulated by Song...

After more than a month of hard work, the biogas pool at the Cavalry Brigade camp was finally completed and put into use. When it was dark, the cavalry Brigade camp lit the biogas lamps in the camp, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, especially in the foothills of the original palace city in the north of the city. The lights that were endless day and night were like a beacon in the city, arousing the amazement and reverie of countless people.

Zhao Bing naturally would not miss this opportunity for publicity and issued an order to hold an open day to invite people from the government and the government to visit. When everyone saw that the feces that had been avoided in the past turned into burning gas, they were amazed. They could not only light the lamp, but also cook and keep warm. After reading it, some literati wrote poems and essays to record this victory. For a moment, praise also followed, treating it as a miracle. He also pushed it to the altar again, and court officials also wrote letters to promote it nationwide, turning waste into treasures and demonstrating the reputation of the Song Dynasty.

However, Zhao Bing was indeed very calm about this. He did not have a fever, but still acted step by step as planned. Because he knew that when a person had too much power and was praised too high, he would easily miscalculate himself and the situation, do something that surpassed Britain and the United States, and wanted to realize some grand ideals.

Of course, having ideals is a good thing, and it is not wrong to work hard to realize their ideals. However, it is a bit dangerous to use the whole country to realize their unrealistic dreams. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui died like this. Zhao Bing knew very well that when he succeeded to become emperor, the domestic and international situation was very good. After more than 20 years of management by his father, the once ruined country had been unified, and the national strength gradually became well-off. Neighboring countries such as the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goryeo also lived in peace and benefited each other.

This situation also gave Yang Guang confidence and confidence to achieve his greater goals. He decided to run to achieve the goal of catching up with the Han Dynasty. He also started to build infrastructure. He sent 2 million people to build Luoyang City every month. He collected strange materials and stones from all over the country and transported them to Luoyang. Farmers were forced to transport them, and thousands of miles away, causing many people to die of exhaustion on the road.

Then Yang Guang dug the Grand Canal and led his troops to launch an expedition against Goryeo three times, which made the national treasury empty and the people's strength exhausted. In the end, all the efforts were wasted. The people were complaining in the misfortune. The whole country was full of war, and the disaster caused Xiao Jiang to die in the mutiny of officials. That was the stinking thing that has been passed down through the ages...
