The four iron barrels were set up, and Song Yang ordered people to get the oil.
Of course, it is still necessary to build a relatively stable swamp trail first.
Under the command of Liu Bao and Qi Yuan, the guards cut enough wood on the camp side.
Then I collected a lot of gravel and rattan.
I packed a lot of materials and went to the swamp.
Once the wooden stakes are driven, they are fixed with gravel, and then the wooden boards are tied to the wooden stakes with rattan.
A simple trail was created.
Now we are conducting oil refining experiments.
This trail can be used for three to five days.
If it really succeeds, the camp and the swamp will be surrounded by oil fields.
The swamp will also have to be drained and cleaned by then!
Soon, the guards came back carrying barrels of crude oil.
These are surface oils.
Mixed with various swamp impurities.
The recovered crude oil is placed in wooden barrels to settle overnight.
It was only the next day that the precipitated lighter upper crude oil was poured into Tietong.
Good guy, one barrel of crude oil is half a barrel of sludge, and only half of it is still crude oil.
After loading forty or fifty barrels of crude oil, Tietong was finally half full.
"It's almost done. It's dangerous to install too much. This time we are just trying to see if we can get fuel oil." Song Yang waved his hand to signal the guards to stop refueling.
"My lord, please tell me how to operate." When Yu Ming heard that there was danger, he immediately stood up and said.
Song Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry. It's not absolutely dangerous, it's just possible. It'll be fine if we pack less fuel."
"Your Majesty, let's do what you say, let's do it." The three poets also stood up and said.
"My lord, don't take any chances."
While talking, Shen Xiaowan and Tong Qian arrived.
The two of them have been so annoyed by mosquitoes these days that they dare not go out.
Yu Ming had people clean up the weeds nearby, and there were fewer mosquitoes.
Just now they heard that Song Yang was doing something new, so they ran out to watch the fun.
As a result, I heard Song Yang say something was dangerous.
"Okay, okay! I will be the commander." Song Yang reluctantly agreed.
"My lord, please tell me what to do!" Qi Yuan said with a decisive look.
"Don't be so serious, it's just a distillation and separation method! Come on, light a fire directly below and burn it!" Song Yang pointed at the iron pipe and said.
"Burn directly?"
"Yes! Burn it directly!"
Putting things directly in the iron bucket and burning them feels like boiling water.
After confirming Song Yang's order, although they didn't quite understand it, everyone still started lighting the fire under the iron bucket.
This was the first experiment, and the precipitated crude oil was insufficient, so only one iron barrel was burned.
Waiting for the iron barrel to heat up.
Song Yang leaned there and closed his eyes to rest.
In fact, he was reading the introduction to oil refining in the encyclopedia.
The content in the book is relatively high-level, and it is still different from the ancient method of refining oil.
But the principles are the same, so Song Yang is confirming the process.
"It should be burned like this. Brother Heizi can produce oil like this, isn't our equipment the same as Brother Heizi?" Song Yang thought to himself.
When he was surfing a certain video, he came across a video of an African black man stealing crude oil and refining it privately.
That equipment looks worse than Song Yang's iron bucket...
"Gulu! Gulu!"
After a while, there was a sound of liquid boiling in the iron bucket.
Song Yang knew that this was the beginning of real refinement.
Add a condensation pipe at the top, and connect a section of pipe away from the flame.
Have a bucket ready under the pipe.
After burning for a while, a light yellow liquid began to slowly flow out of the pipe.
"Haha! It's done! It's done!"
Song Yang looked at the wooden barrel with some liquid. Although the smell of the liquid inside was a bit unpleasant.
But Song Yang was still extremely happy.
I haven’t smelled this smell in years!
gasoline!
It’s gasoline!
And the quality of gasoline is pretty good!
Gasoline has the lowest distillation range, and the gasoline comes out first.
Song Yang happily threw aside half a barrel of gasoline.
"Get out of the way!" Song Yang greeted.
The gasoline burned directly onto the grass mat.
Then he ran far away carrying the empty bucket.
Then he took out a piece of firewood from under the iron barrel and threw it into the place where the gasoline had been poured.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The fire burned instantly and burned extremely violently.
Although the half barrel of gasoline was not much, it still burned very violently.
"This... this thing burns so easily?"
"Yes! This is much more powerful than fierce fire oil! It takes a long time to take fierce fire oil!"
Everyone started talking when they saw the burning gasoline.
Song Yang looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha! Gasoline is here! Internal combustion engine! I'm here!"
"Ahem!" Suddenly, the wind direction changed.
The black smoke from burning gasoline came straight towards Song Yang, making him cough violently.
"Prince! Are you okay?" Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan, who were far away, ran over.
"It's okay! It's okay! Hahahaha!" Song Yang laughed twice.
"vomit!"
Song Yang was fine, but Tong Qian ran over and smelled the smell of gasoline.
One couldn't hold it back and vomited directly.
"Go away quickly, the smell here is too strong." Song Yang hurriedly protected Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan from leaving.
"Lao Yu, put out the fire. Don't use water. Cover it with the sand and gravel over there."
Song Yang turned around and said hello.
Yu Ming responded and immediately led people to put out the fire.
Yu Ming also came into contact with fierce fire oil. To extinguish the fierce fire oil, you have to spread sand.
Now to extinguish the gasoline, of course we have to spread sand.
After struggling for a while, the fire was finally put out.
The guards all sighed with emotion, the gasoline burned too fiercely.
It only took a while, but the meadow was completely burned.
On the other side, Song Yang protected the two girls back to the tent.
Tong Qian was still retching there.
"Ouch, yuck!"
"Ouch, yuck!"
Vomiting made Tong Qian feel uncomfortable all over.
Shen Xiaowan hurriedly went to get warm water, while Song Yang patted her back gently.
"I was negligent and forgot that the smell of burning gasoline was too great." Song Yang said embarrassedly.
"Your Majesty... cough cough! I'm fine... vomit!"
Tong Qian vomited for a while before she finally recovered.
"Your Majesty, I'm feeling much better. In fact, I don't blame you. I've been feeling sick to my stomach these past few days, always feeling nauseous and retching."
"The smell of gasoline just now was a bit strong, and I couldn't stand it immediately."
Tong Qian drank some water and recovered a lot before speaking softly.
"Oh? But what did you eat?"
Song Yang asked with concern.
"No way. We eat and live together, and the prince and I will be fine." Shen Xiaowan shook her head.
"Hey? Could it be that there is one?" Shen Xiaowan said suddenly.
After saying this, Song Yang, Tong Qian, and Shen Xiaowan stopped talking.
Song Yang was stunned for a long time before saying excitedly: "Yes! Haha! Yes!"
Tong Qian blushed and said angrily: "Not necessarily, maybe it's a bit hot!"
"No! Let's go back to the city right away and ask the doctor to take a look at you!" Song Yang stood up and was about to walk out.
Tong Qian hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Your Majesty, don't be busy for now. I'm much better now."
