Chapter 184: Oil Substitutes and Departures (2-in-1) "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't scold anymore, if you scold again, God will be angry."
Li Zhen scolded happily, but the Fang Yi next to them was so scared that they even lost their souls.
They are not Xibei goods like Li Zhen, but ancients with good roots.
As we all know, the ancients were very in awe of the heavens, and it was an attitude from top to bottom - the heavens can only respect, not scold.
At this time, seeing Li Zhen scolding the sky like this, while being taken aback, his heart was also extremely frightened, for fear that Li Zhen's words would anger the heavens, so he hurriedly persuaded.
Li Zhen said disdainfully: "What am I afraid of?
This king has the protection of Zhenyuan Daxian, what is the little Lei Gongdian Mother Feng Boyu Master?
How dare they provoke me?
” "......"
Fang Yi loves to cry without tears, you are blessed by the gods, you can not be afraid, but we are all ordinary people and mortals, and we dare not provoke the sky.
Li Zhencai ignored everyone's thoughts, and was still scolding: "Thief God, if you have the ability, you will have another rain to extinguish this big fire in the sky?"
” "Click!"
A lightning bolt landed on a big tree not far from Li Zhen's side, and in an instant the entire tree burst into flames.
Pity such an ancient tree, I don't know how many hundred years it has lived, but now it was completely destroyed by a thunderbolt.
Fang Yiai was even more frightened, in their opinion, this was God's punishment for them - Li Zhen was protected by Zhenyuan Daxian, and the immortals couldn't do anything about him, so they took out their anger on themselves and others.
I was angry and helpless in my heart - if I have the ability, I will bully the main master?
What kind of ability is it to be angry with our entourage?
This is too bullying to be afraid of the hard, right?
You are also immortals, can you be a little disciplined?
But he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect on his face, and he looked at Li Zhen again, still scolding there: "Bastard, I let you rain, what kind of skill do you have?"
If you have the ability to extinguish this mountain fire, what's the use of farting?
” "Your Highness, don't say it, don't say it, it's about to rain, it's already thundering, the rain should be about to fall, let's go back first."
Fang Yiai hurriedly pounced and pulled Li Zhen away, and the rest of the people were relieved.
"Whoa!"
Not long after Li Zhen was dragged to the camp by Fang Yiai, she only heard a 'bang' outside, and the heavy rain poured down on her head, and some of the young soldiers who didn't have time to enter the camp were suddenly doused into soup chickens.
The huge raindrops hit the tent and made a 'boom' sound, as if someone was beating a stake with a giant hammer.
Fang Yiai breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, with this heavy rain, the fire outside should be under control." ” "It should be fine."
Li Zhen saw that it was really raining, so he was angry, and his chin agreed: "But I'm quite interested in this shrub called oil irrigation, which means that after the rain stops, you can let people collect a little more oil irrigation, and send it to the military medical camp for Mr.
Gu and them to study it to see if it is useful." ” Fang Yiai immediately responded: "Yes, I'll do it after the rain." ” Of course, Li Zhen didn't look for oil irrigation just because he was interested, but he remembered something through oil irrigation - oil.
Li Zhen has been in this world for more than ten years, and has never given up industrial revitalization, and has always wanted to use his own hands to push Datang to a higher level.
It's just that the phrase industrial revitalization is easy to say, but how easy is it to really do?
It is said that with Li Zhen, a high-level engineering student, it should be no problem to complete the initial industrialization, he originally thought so, but when he really did it, he found out how difficult it was.
The first is the material, don't look at Datang now that it can make cannons, and it has qualified cannon steel.
But it was just an accident, it was accidentally made by the craftsmen, in fact, the current material industry of Datang is very backward (relative to the era of the industrial explosion), although Li Zhen has been personally imparting knowledge over the years, the problem is that he himself is a half-ass, how good can the students he teach?
Fortunately, although he doesn't know much about materials, but the basic theories are known, after years of hard training, the theories he knows are still successfully instilled in the students, and now this group of students has grown up and entered the industrial field, I believe that it will not be long before Datang's material industry should be able to show an explosive state.
In addition to materials, there is also design, this is not to worry, Li Zhen usually draws some basic mechanical design drawings to his craftsmen, so that they can deduce and improve.
Through this training method, some old craftsmen can now design their own machinery, and the design is quite good, which is a good phenomenon.
It's a pity that some machinery is limited by the unqualified materials and has not been successfully manufactured, such as steam engines.
As mentioned before, the design drawings of the steam engine have been drawn by Li Zhen and successfully produced the finished product, but it has been limited by the unqualified sealing materials, so it cannot be used normally.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen complained about the material department again (material department: blame me (╯_╰)).
In addition to materials and design, technology is also an important indicator in the industrial field, and whether the processing technology is good or not is directly related to the quality and accuracy of the product.
But this is Li Zhen's most reassuring point, there are not many others in Datang, but there are many 'eighth-level workers' - the craftsmanship of the masters at this time is not much worse than the eighth-level workers in later generations.
There are all kinds of masters, and mechanical accuracy is the most reassuring one for Li Zhen.
It's just that some processes require special tool processing, but the material industry is not developed, so there are naturally no suitable tools, so Li Zhen complained about the material department (material department: whatever you want, say whatever you like...... ） If the process is what Li Zhen is most satisfied with, the design is what Li Zhen is more satisfied with, and the material is what Li Zhen is looking forward to, then the power or fuel is what Li Zhen is most dissatisfied with.
Of course, Datang is not without high-quality coal, such as Jinyang (Taiyuan), there is not much else in Jinyang, but the coal resources are quite rich, there are many large-scale coal mines alone, which makes Li Zhi and his son (Jinyang Princess Li Mingda, Li Shimin's most beloved daughter, more favored than Princess Changle, but unfortunately died at the age of twelve) made a fortune.

The fiefdoms of the two of them are in Jinyang (Li Zhi is the king of Jin, and Li Mingda is directly the princess of Jinyang), and now with the development of coal, both of them have become outright tyrants, and they can receive soft hands just by taxes, not to mention that both of them have a lot of coal mines under their names, and they are even more wealthy.
It's just that although there is a lot of coal, the industry is not only coal, in addition to coal, it also needs a sufficient amount of oil.
It's just that although China also has oil fields, they are all deep oil fields that are difficult to exploit - at least with the current industrial strength of Datang, they cannot be exploited, and the rest are small oil fields.
What's more, even if there is an oil field, oil can not be used directly as long as it is extracted, it needs to be refined n times before it can be regarded as a finished product, and this is exactly what Datang can't do - at least the catalyst needed for oil differentiation is not something that can be made now, according to Li Zhen's estimate, even if you have your own hanging, if you want to get a catalyst, you have to develop it for at least 50 years.
Li Zhen has always wanted to find a substitute for oil, originally Li Zhen's intention was to use alcohol, but his local distillation alcohol technology is really not up to par, until now Li Zhen has made the highest purity of alcohol is only more than 70 degrees, ignition can definitely be ignited, but it is far from enough to be used as fuel, it can only be used as medical alcohol and spirits to use and sell, but it has made a lot of money, it can be regarded as a surprise.
Originally, Li Zhen planned to continue to improve the distillation technology, at least to purify the alcohol above 90 degrees, but now it seems that he doesn't need it, and he seems to have found a more suitable substitute - this oil irrigation is undoubtedly a high oil content plant, and just now Li Zhen smelled the smell of burning is not like vegetable oil, but more like the smell of biodiesel combustion, if the oil in it can be refined, maybe a pure oil substitute can be made, It can be regarded as the fulfillment of his oil dream.
With oil, most of its plans can be launched, and Datang's industry will enter a state of rapid development.
The heavy rain in the rainforest is not an ordinary heavy rain, it is not too much to describe it as a scoop, if it is put in the Tang Dynasty, it must be at least once in a few decades, if it falls into the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it is estimated that the two big rivers will collapse.
If nothing else, let's talk about the small lake in the valley, the water volume has risen by at least one-third, but fortunately, the terrain of this small valley is relatively high, and the Young Army has avoided the 'tragedy' of being flooded by the Seventh Army.
However, although the rain in the rainforest was heavy, it did not last long, it only rained for three days, and on the morning of the fourth day, it was another sunny day.
"Your Highness, this heavy rain has finally stopped, shouldn't we go?"
"Of course I'm leaving, I'm sick after being here for so many days."
Facing the sun, Li Zhen stretched her waist, sneezed fiercely, sprayed out all the musty smell accumulated in her body these days, took a deep breath happily, mixed with the cool air mixed with the earthy fragrance into her lungs, and then Li Zhen sneezed again......
Deliberately ignoring Fang Yiai's face that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Li Zhen said: "Tell me to go down, order everyone to start packing up immediately, we are leaving." ” "Yes."
Speaking of business, Fang Yiai immediately put away her original expression, her face was solemn, and she replied loudly.
"Oh, it's really comfortable to sit on an elephant."
Sitting on the elephant beautifully, Li Zhen enjoyed the blessing again, which made the young soldiers who were hard to follow the pace of the elephant all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred......
Fang Yiai noticed the expressions of the young soldiers below, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness, don't stimulate them."
The ancients paid attention to the fact that soldiers and generals shared weal and woe, isn't it bad for you to do this?
” "What's so bad?
Huo Qubing also didn't treat soldiers as human beings, but didn't he still win battles?
Isn't anyone willing to die for him?
At least I didn't starve my soldiers, which is much better than Huo Quai, right?
Li Zhen was unwilling to give up such a comfortable mount now, and go to play with joys and sorrows, so he immediately retorted with Huo Quai's illness as an example.
"But you and Huo Quzhi ......"
Fang Yiai originally wanted to say that you and Huo Quzhi are comparable?
But I won't say it halfway through, think about it carefully, His Royal Highness is much stronger than Huo Quai, no matter how awesome Huo Quai's illness is, then he can only fight, Li Zhen doesn't just know how to fight.
Although when it comes to fighting, Li Zhen may not be able to do Huo Quai, but if he really wants to use all his own means, ten Huo Qubing will have to kneel.
If Li Zhen and Huo Qubing are placed in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the same time, and he has to choose one of the two, it is estimated that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will also choose Li Zhen instead of Huo Qubing - yes, Huo Qubing is very good at fighting, but the Han Dynasty, a general of the same level as him, is not nothing, and Wei Qing and Li Guang are not much worse than Huo Quai.
But you're going to find me another Li Zhen?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Li Zhen enjoys such treatment, which is not unacceptable.
Li Zhen smiled and didn't answer the words of her bereavement, but turned her head and asked, "Wang Can, where are we now?"
How far is it from Yueshang?
” The answers to these questions have always been in Wang Can's heart, and when he heard this, he immediately replied: "Your Highness, we are not far from Yueshang, and at the current speed, we should be able to arrive tomorrow, but there is a problem......
"What's the problem?"
"According to the records on the map, there is a river more than fifty miles away, originally we didn't pay attention to this river, but now it is the rainy season, and it has just rained heavily, the river is very likely to rise, at this time to cross the river, the words ...... to cross the river" Wang Can's tone showed a trace of hesitation, obviously not very optimistic about forcibly crossing the river, the young army was not familiar with the Nanyang, although there were elephants on the way, so they were able to run rampant, but it was on land, no one knew what was going on in the water, The land overlord like the elephant is estimated to be choking enough in the face of the big river......
"In this case, let's not talk about this for now, and I'll talk about it when we get to the place."
Li Zhen is also a little helpless, but the situation is unclear now, and she will talk about it when she gets to the river to understand the situation.
"Yes."
"Your Highness, General Xue's carrier pigeon."
Just when Li Zhen was about to lie down and continue to rest, someone suddenly handed over a carrier pigeon.
"Rengui's carrier pigeon?"
Li Zhen was stunned, how could there be carrier pigeons at this time?
Could something have happened?
Immediately took out the secret letter and quickly skimmed through it, Li Zhen's eyes suddenly widened, and then she couldn't cry or laugh: "Should I feel happy, or should I be worried?"

Sure enough, you should still be glad, right?
” "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Fang Yiai hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, I'll talk about it after camping."
Li Zhen shook her head and destroyed the secret letter, as if nothing happened.
"Yes."
Fang Yu knew about it, so he didn't ask anymore.
Li Zhen also stopped talking, closed her eyes and recuperated, but her heart was active.
