Tong Qian has followed Song Yang for many years, and her awareness of the overall situation is still very high.
Song Yang came out this time to look for oil. Although the oil was found, there was still the problem of refining the oil.
Although I have just mastered gasoline, it does not mean that there will be nothing else on this trip.
So Tong Qian knew that now was not the time to go back.
Besides, she is really not that delicate. She was born as a maid and has good physical fitness.
As for morning sickness, it is purely a physiological reaction.
"My lord, I am really fine. Besides, what if it's not... wouldn't it be a waste of time? And even if you are really pregnant, it may only be a month or two, far from the time to have the fetus." Tong Qian was a little stubborn.
said.
Song Yang took her little hand and said: "Okay then. Then I will force Xiaoqian to live in the wilderness for a few days. I will seize the time and get it done as soon as possible!"
Song Yang was excited, but what Tong Qian said was indeed true.
This place is four or five days away from the nearest Tongling.
If I leave now, the oil issue will definitely be put on hold.
After taking care of Tong Qian during the installation, Song Yang went out and Yu Ming came over.
"Lao Yu, send someone to Jingling to find the best doctor for this king!"
Although people can't go back, how can Song Yang and others not be anxious to confirm whether it is good news or not.
Yu Ming didn't know what was going on. When he heard that Song Yang was looking for a doctor with a serious expression, he was startled and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you feeling ill?"
"It's not me, it's Xiaoqian. She might... have it!" Song Yang didn't hide it.
Yu Ming is a close confidant, so there is nothing wrong with letting him know.
"Ah! This... this, this, this! This is such great news! Your Majesty! How about we go back! Anyway, we have found the oil, so we can come back anytime!"
Yu Ming was surprised for a long time before he said happily.
Song Yang has a heir, which means that the Jiangzhou Group will have an heir in the future.
As a core member of Jiangzhou forces, how could Yu Ming not be excited.
"You can't leave now. Oil has just been discovered, and there are still many things to deal with. That's why I asked you to find the doctor!"
Song Yang had already thought a little more when he came out. Tong Qian was not in a hurry, so she still put official matters first.
Seeing what Song Yang said, Yu Ming could only nod his head and promise to find the doctor as quickly as possible.
After lunch, Yu Ming arranged for four guards, each with one horse, to return to Jingling as quickly as possible.
On Song Yang's side, after gasoline, diesel, heavy oil and various lubricating oils were extracted.
It has to be said that refining oil in iron barrels is a very feasible method.
Brother Heizi’s practice over the years is indeed effective.
"These barrels of oil must be kept separately. Remember, they must not catch fire. As you saw this morning, once this thing catches fire, it is difficult to put it out!"
"The residue here also needs to be sealed and preserved. This stuff is called asphalt. It can be used to pave roads, and can also be used as waterproof coating and anti-corrosion coating."
Song Yang introduced various original products one by one and proposed some preservation measures.
Liu Bao and the three Mohist apprentices wrote them down one by one.
Song Yang asked the four of them to participate at the same time because he wanted to see who was more suitable for petroleum work.
Judging from their performance over the past two days, Qi Yuan and Liu Bao are on par.
"That's it for today. Tomorrow we will send people to explore the area to see if we can find a place to drain the swamp water."
"If the water cannot be drained, then you have to find sand and gravel materials nearby and fill that area."
After packing up the refined things, Song Yang said to Ming and others.
When looking for oil, using a Luoyang shovel may still be effective.
Now that an oil hole has been found, we have to consider the problem of the oil production machine.
The theoretical knowledge of oil production machines is very simple, and it is the same as that of pressurized water wells.
Liu Bao and the three Mohists can do this.
The problem we are facing now is that there are swamps nearby, so it is definitely not possible to kill the well directly.
Moreover, the thing to be collected is crude oil, and water pressure tools cannot be directly used or improved.
Song Yang thought of that kind of nodding machine, so he drew a rough drawing of the nodding machine and gave it to Liu Bao and Qi Yuan.
Whoever develops a machine suitable for oil extraction in swamps first will be the person in charge of the first oil field.
After the task was assigned, Song Yang immediately returned to the main tent.
Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan have already had dinner.
Song Yang had given instructions when he came out that he wanted to do some exploration, but he didn't come back in time.
By then I was too busy and had to eat with the guards.
The two girls were afraid of mosquitoes, so they could eat in the big tent without waiting for him.
He didn't eat anything today, so Song Yang came running back.
He was thinking about Tong Qian.
"You see, the prince is thinking about you so much. He is in a hurry to come back just after finishing his work!" Shen Xiaowan said with a smile.
"Sister is joking, the prince is also thinking about you!" Tong Qian said sheepishly.
Song Yang chuckled and said, "I'm all thinking about you, I'm all thinking about you."
After saying that, he ran to Tong Qian and stretched his head towards Tong Qian's belly.
He claims to want to hear if there are any children.
Tong Qian refused to comply and had to put her away after being tickled by him for a while.
"Let me hear it, let me hear it!" Song Yang shouted after Tong Qian.
In his excitement, I stopped talking and called myself directly.
"I'll listen, Xiaoqian, don't run away!" Shen Xiaowan also smiled and went to catch Tong Qian.
"Be careful, be careful. Don't bump into each other." Song Yang waved his hand, fearing that they would fight.
"You see, the prince is protecting you so much. Hehe. Don't move, be good, let us listen!" Shen Xiaowan held Tong Qian's arm and smiled.
In the end, Tong Qian did not escape the clutches of Song Yang and Shen Xiaowan, and was held there and listened in turn.
However, Song Yang is not an X-ray machine, so he can tell the difference.
But after having a laugh, I felt very good.
…
Early the next morning, Liu Bao and Qi Yuan both came.
Both of them were holding in their hands the things Song Yang had arranged for last night.
"You moved so quickly. Let me see your results."
Song Yang happily took over the two people's efforts yesterday. The machine on the drawing was similar to the nodding machine given by Song Yang.
It's just more suitable for the current technical level.
Both of them have high attainments in mechanical manufacturing. Just looking at the drawings, the difference between the two drawings is not that big.
"Can we make it now in terms of materials?" Song Yang looked at the two of them.
"His Majesty, this student can do this." Qi Yuan said confidently.
"Well... Your Majesty, this little man may need something..." Liu Bao said with some embarrassment.
Qi Yuan is from the Mo family, and what he is good at is mechanical manufacturing.
Although Liu Bao is a carpenter, he mostly makes furniture and the like.
The two of them are specialized in their respective fields. Although the equipment designed by Liu Bao can also be used to extract crude oil, based on the current conditions, Qi Yuan is more practical in terms of practicality.
Song Yang thought for a while and decided to use Qi Yuan's drawing.
First build the oil production machine. If it is completed, Qi Yuan will be in charge of this first oil field.
In fact, the person in charge in Song Yang's mind is more inclined to Qi Yuan.
There are many places in Jiangzhou that need Liu Bao.
Although Liu Bao is young, he has already worked in various factories such as paper mills, carpentry workshops, blacksmith workshops, and cement factories in Jiangzhou.
His all-around operational and management talent will have a greater role in staying in Jiangzhou.
After making up his mind for the time being, Song Yang sent several guards and Qi Yuan to prepare materials.
He took Liu Bao to find Yu Ming.
Yesterday I asked Yu Ming to explore whether the water in the swamp could be drained.
Song Yang took Liu Bao to do the drainage work.
"Your Majesty, I sent someone to take a look early in the morning. There is a river not far to the west of the swamp. If a waterway can be opened across it, maybe the water in the swamp can be drained."
Song Yang and Liu Baogang were about to go find Yu Ming when they saw Yu Ming bringing someone back from outside.
This guy got up early and now has figured out the situation.
"How far is it from the swamp to the river?" Song Yang asked.
"Hmm... It's almost more than a hundred meters. In fact, the swamp and the river should have been connected before. It has only been exposed after there has been less rain these days." Yu Ming said.
"Come on, let's go take a look." Song Yang nodded and motioned for Yu Ming to lead the way.
The group soon arrived at the western edge of the swamp.
Standing on the swamp side, Song Yang saw the river Song Yang was talking about.
The river is not particularly narrow, and the current is relatively fast.
Song Yang looked through the encyclopedia and knew that this river should be called Dongjing River.
However, the width and direction of this sum are obviously much larger than those in Song Yang's life.
These are all the legacy of Yunmeng Daze. The amount of water in this era is certainly much greater than that of the era a thousand years later.
"How is it? Is it easy to drain water here?" Song Yang looked at Liu Bao.
Liu Bao walked to the swamp and looked around, and trotted all the way to the river.
After checking for a long time, he returned to Song Yang and said, "My lord, the drainage can be done, but the gap between the two places is a bit small, so the drainage effect is not obvious."
"If you want to allow oil to be extracted as soon as possible, the best way is to drain the water and fill the swamp at the same time."
"We can dredge the river channels in the swamp and concentrate the water flow. This way the water flow will be concentrated and drainage will be faster."
"And as a result, the area that needs to be filled may be much smaller."
Liu Bao has strong planning skills and is experienced in engineering projects.
He was involved in the drainage of the carpentry and blacksmith workshops, and he was one of the designers of the wasteland development in the new workshop area.
He has a lot of contact with drainage and other matters, and coupled with his quick thinking, he quickly found the best solution.
Song Yang listened to Liu Bao's suggestion. According to him, he roughly went through the drainage process in his mind and felt that this method was feasible.
Song Yang looked at Yu Ming and said:
"Lao Yu, immediately arrange a hundred people for Liu Bao to be responsible for drainage."
"Remember to be careful and prepare wooden boards, branches, and ropes to prevent things like Wei Bin from happening!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll take care of my humble job right away. I guarantee there won't be any problems!"
After Yu Ming received the order, he immediately ordered the guards around him to go to the camp to call for people.
This time they came out with 800 people and gave Liu Bao 100 people easily.
Liu Bao got Song Yang's support, which was all lost due to the loss of the oil production machine drawings just now.
He assured Song Yang confidently:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will drain the swamp water as soon as possible!"
