Chapter 128 Oil Refining

The morning breeze came slowly, but Zhang Hao had already sat on the top of the mountain all night.

What Zhang Hao thought of was the invitation from Xinglin Hall.

The well-known Xinglintang even sent an invitation letter to himself, and it was Zhou Shuhai's personal letter! How do you look at it, how do you think there is a problem.

The content of the invitation letter is very simple, two things: one month later, it will be the annual alchemy event of Xinglintang; and, the alchemy event is not only for alchemy, but also developed into the largest comprehension trading conference in Qixia Kingdom, and Zhou Shuhai hopes that Zhang Jianeng exhibited and sold black iron for alchemy at this trade fair.

This alchemy grand meeting even covered the entire six western countries.

Especially in this war-torn environment, this alchemy event should be very exciting.

But, you gave this invitation letter to my father, what are you doing for me?

Looking at the rising sun, Zhang Hao had an idea in his mind: the weasel wishes the rooster a new year, this week Shuhai must have a picture!

Seeing the rising sun, Zhang Hao returned to the base and shared his thoughts with his father Zhang Shengde.

Zhang Shengde smiled: "You think too much. Xiaohao, you may not have noticed that now you are almost in charge of Zhang's family.

Therefore, everyone takes you for granted as the new head of the Zhang family, and this letter should be given to you. Give it to me, but it is distrust of you, the new Patriarch. "

Zhang Hao clutched his heart, and his heart was pounding... The waves turned over!

Recently, I only thought about rushing to establish an industrial system quickly, but I didn't expect that I had shown it so clearly.

Now that I think about it, isn’t it true that my father seems to seldom come forward recently, even if there are some essential appearances, most of them don’t speak much, it’s Zhang Hao who is talking.

Even the second uncle, Zhang Shengye, who is the vice chairman of the Artifact Refining Association, didn't attend the meeting, but went to the meeting by himself!

Zhang Shengde patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "You have done a good job. You have also been recognized by the whole family. From now on, I am going to retreat and practice with peace of mind, as a solid backing for the family.

Go ahead and do it.

Just because of your status as a disciple of Xuanzhen Sect, few people dare to touch you! By the way, when you go to the meeting, don't forget to bring Feng Zhiling along. "

Zhang Shengde left after speaking, as he himself said, he was about to start practicing.

The "new technology" has already been used in Zhang Shengde's place of practice. In the four corners, there is a small formation barrier, which is "boiling spirit stones". Seeps out little by little, rolling like thick fog in the secret room.

Zhang Shengde sat down cross-legged slowly, and suddenly opened his mouth to inhale wildly, half of the aura in the room disappeared in an instant. Then he closed the seven orifices and entered a state of complete retreat.

The rapid development of the Zhang family, the rapid changes in the Qixia country, and the turbulent wars in the East all made Zhang Shengde feel a sense of urgency.

In fact, Zhang Hao also had a sense of urgency. After Zhang Shengde left, Zhang Hao finally dragged Huang Mingshan and others over to prepare for a project that had been delayed:

Refining!

It has been more than 20 days since the discovery of oil, and it seems to be a month, but because there are too many things, it has been delayed until now. Now, finally free.

Huang Mingshan and the others looked at the reddish-brown and blackened liquid in front of them, still hesitated. Is this thing really a baby?

"The blood flowing out of the earth is not a baby!" Zhang Hao's eyes flashed with confidence.

During this period of time, Zhang Hao has repeatedly observed and studied a lot, and he can basically determine the oil composition of this world: in addition to the normal oil composition, it also contains a lot of aura, to be precise, it contains a lot of "fragments that have absorbed aura".

These fragments are similar to the powder of spiritual stones, and there are very, very many of these powders; and the oil itself has also dissolved a considerable amount of spiritual energy.

It's just that compared with normal spiritual energy and spiritual stones, the spiritual energy in oil is extremely mixed, and it is almost impossible to use it as a practice resource.

But if it is used as fuel, there is no problem at all!

Huang Mingshan frowned and looked at the oil in front of him; 'Master, this thing...how to deal with it? '

Zhang Hao said directly: "I have been observing for more than 20 days, and I came up with a method, which is... evaporation and condensation. Just like we usually boil sea water, the water is boiled dry, but the salt is left.

I think this method can be tried. "

With the buffer period of more than 20 days, Zhang Hao can directly propose the distillation method, which is very reasonable.

If you want to distill, you need a distillation machine. Zhang Hao drew a rough sketch, Huang Mingshan and others completed the sketch and made several different distillers.

The experiment lasted for several days, and everyone kept adjusting the structure of the distiller, heating temperature, pressure, level, cooling time, length of cooling pipe, etc.

Before we have a complete and definite understanding of oil, we can only improve technology through continuous experimentation, adjustment, and accumulation of experience.

Huang Mingshan and the others didn't even take a break, they just asked someone to bring a message to their family; they were busy these days.

When you are tired, you can meditate and practice for a while, and eat some Peiyuan Dan. Although Peiyuan Pill is very expensive now, and the market price has risen to more than 80 spirit stones, Zhang Hao has never been stingy in scientific research.

Pills of Peiyuan were placed on the shelf behind Huang Mingshan and the others, and they were taken casually. This kind of trust and support was exchanged for the loyalty and devotion of Huang Mingshan and others.

I don't know the dozens of adjustments, but the six outlets of the distiller have a clear liquid.

The first exit is some pungent gas mixed with thick but mixed aura. In order to cool these gases, they had to use the ice formation method to condense some gases into a slightly cloudy liquid at a low temperature of more than minus 50 degrees and under the pressure of the formation method.

The second outlet is a clear liquid, like water, but it is volatile and easy to ignite.

The third outlet is a yellowish-brown liquid, which is also clear, like high-quality cooking oil, and it is easier to ignite.

The fourth outlet is a deeper yellowish-brown color, not clear anymore, and easier to ignite.

The fifth exit is a viscous liquid, already a little dark brown, and it can be ignited, but it is a bit more difficult.

The sixth outlet is a viscous, completely opaque black liquid, very sticky and slippery.

Finally, there are two substances remaining at the bottom of the still. One is like a colloid, which flows slowly at high temperature and solidifies at low temperature. Because there is a large amount of petroleum substances remaining, it appears red and black, and the color is a bit weird.

There is also the lowest layer, a layer of scorched black matter.

A large number of debris in the oil, containing aura, etc., are left in the bottom layer.

When Zhang Hao announced that the distillation had achieved a phased success, Huang Mingshan and others cheered. But then there's the question—how did it get its name?

"The first one is called LPG." Chen Feng said.

Zhang Hao smiled immediately: "Not bad."

Liu Ming added: "The sixth type is like the butter we usually use, it can be used for lubrication. Let's call it lubricating oil."

Not to be outdone, Hou Shangzhuo said: "The second to fourth types, I think, can be named: high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade fuel. The fifth type is named: diesel. This diesel is like firewood. It can be ignited but it is not easy."

Zhang Hao nodded. Although he really wanted to name gasoline, kerosene, etc., he decided to forget it after thinking about it. It's just a name.

Huang Mingshan looked at the black-red viscous substance, thought for a while and said, "This looks like oil stains mixed with dirt that seeped from the corners of the oil press. The folks usually call it 'residual oil', and in some places it is also called 'residual oil'." asphalt'."

"Let's call it Asphalt." Zhang Hao settled on the name.

Finally, Zhang Hao pointed to the residue at the bottom: "This is called coke, similar to charcoal and bamboo charcoal."

Huang Mingshan carefully recorded the name.

Zhang Hao clapped his hands: "Okay, the oil separation has been initially completed. Let's continue to work hard, determine their respective attributes, see what can be done, which one is the most suitable for refining steel, and estimate the cost.

It's been so many days, let's go back and rest first. Rewards are distributed for a few days. "

Zhang Hao left the research base, but saw Feng Zhiling eating dragon meat hotpot again.

Seeing Zhang Hao coming out, Feng Zhiling called out: "Junior brother, your adoptive father is here, you should hurry over."

Has foster father Wu Fanghai come over? Zhang Hao was taken aback, wasn't he in war?
