Chapter 2532: Fire-Breathing Is Simple and Has Money to Spend

Everyone smiled, they just loved to hear Li Yi say such things.

"The formula of Roman fire is secret, can't it be exchanged?"

When Yao Chong heard about technology, he got sick, the problem of wanting to own it, the sequelae left by Li Yi.

"Why exchange it? I know it, it's useless, our Tang army can't use it, the attack distance is short."

Li Yi waved his hand and told everyone that it was just a simple flamethrower.

You can use fire dragons to deal with naval battles, and use steam engines to fight, and they won't get close to you at all.

Flamethrowers need to be used in the upwind, and they will burn themselves in the downwind.

No ship can compete with steam engines in speed, and water-based rifle bullets cannot be defended by general defense measures.

"Can you make one?" Yao Chong wanted to see.

"Okay, I'll make one for you to see, and then I'll make a flamethrower with Li's manor technology."

Li Yi agreed, this is like the fire welding in the manor, it's not difficult, and the formula is complete.

The next day, three things were made, one was Greek fire, a big thing, and the other was a small steel bottle, which contained fuel and had an ignition device.

There was also a large bottle, which was bigger than the small bottle and much smaller than the Greek fire.

"Isn't this an oxygen bottle? Oh, this bottle is also used for liquefied petroleum gas."

Song Jing understood two things, and the Greek fire one felt very simple.

"Yes, let's find the wind. In fact, this thing is the best for digging tunnels, cat ear holes, which are curved soldier holes."

Li Yi admitted that based on this principle, the materials of Greek fire were not pure.

There were pig trotters, pig heads, and pig tails hanging in front of the open space. Some positions were hung at 50 meters, some at 65 meters, and some at 200 meters.

There were people in the village who had free time and ran over to see it, including people from two tribes. They were checking their bodies and receiving treatment. Some people were sick.

There were other low-status pregnant women who were about to give birth and decided to stay in the hospital.

Those who had not yet given birth had to continue working. Would they not work when they were pregnant?

First, there was Greek fire. Someone was there pressurizing a simple pump.

Take a look, our Tang Dynasty fire engine, used to spray fire oil for defending the city, I thought it was something else.

For a moment, they looked down on the more complicated pump.

It started over there, puff, liquid sprayed out first, and then began to burn. The person in front controlled the direction and swept over pig trotters...

This distance is about 50 meters, but before 50 meters, the pig trotters were blackened.

After spraying for a while, there was no fuel, so I changed to a small can.

Turn on the switch, spray directly, and fire will come out. Pig trotters at 65 meters will catch fire.

Stop quickly, spray again, and spray several times in a row, and there is no fuel.

Finally, it is a big bottle, such a long fire dragon jumps out, everyone is shocked.

This sprays many times, far away, and it is fun to watch.

When the fuel is used up, everyone looks at each other and stares at the big one. Good, use it to kill people.

"This is Roman fire, these two are from Zhuangzi?"

Su Yan observed the three flamethrowers and was satisfied. The technology of Tang Dynasty is higher.

"Well! The way the Roman fire used to fight a naval battle was to disembark and load goods for a surprise attack, using wolf pack tactics. This oil fire can burn on the water surface, just like our diesel and gasoline. Once it is ignited, it can only be extinguished with other things, not water."

Li Yi just made it for everyone to see, so that no one would wait for someone to spread the news of the Roman fire to the Tang Dynasty, and everyone would be scared.

It was just naphtha, proving that the Eastern Roman Empire had no ability to refine gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.

After naphtha was done, it was asphalt, which was a waste of good oil resources.

The open-air oil found in the Tang Dynasty all had high sulfur content.

Li Yi said as he went over there to look at the pig's trotters. There was still flames burning on the ground. There were flames on the pig's trotters before, and the farmers quickly put them out after the flames were sprayed.

"It doesn't look like much damage." Song Jing observed the pig's trotters, pig heads, and pig tails.

"I deliberately put it so far away that I can eat it at noon. Anyway, I have to remove the hair. If I don't remove it cleanly, I have to use a blowtorch to burn it."

Li Yi told Song Jing, I didn't think of burning the pig's trotters, I just removed the hair.

Song Jing: "..."

At noon, everyone ate pig ears on the pig head meat. The head meat was too fat and greasy.

Mixed with cucumber, sesame oil and chili oil, and drank rice wine.

Steamed sea crabs, dipped in Sanhe oil.

"This year, the people of Henan Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture finally ate cheap big crabs, but it's a pity that hairy crabs are expensive, difficult to catch, and there are few of them."

When Li Chengqi saw the crabs, he took them apart with a snap, rubbed the small crab claws one by one, and put the two big claws next to them.

I will give them to the children later. The children like to eat these big claws the most.

I used to eat female hairy crabs, but now I eat male hairy crabs if I don't eat sea crabs.

The Tang Fleet came back and went fishing all day. It used to be only in the waters of Haizhou, but now it has gone to Hangzhou.

When the railway from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the north of the Yellow River to the Bohai Bay is completed, the Bohai Bay will be able to continuously supply seafood to Chang'an in winter.

A large sea crab weighs at least half a catty, and a large one catty. It is very satisfying to eat, with lots of meat. River crabs are delicious, but they are small. The hairy crabs will probably be cheaper next year, but there are too many people. UU Reading www.uｕkaｎsｈu.net

A large crab weighing half a catty is shipped from Haizhou to Lantian County for two cents. If you think it is too expensive, you can choose not to eat it. You can buy four catties of rice.

A one catty crab costs six cents, which is not as simple as doubling the price. The price needs to be increased.

In Li Yi's opinion, it is not expensive. With a normal job, a person can earn 30 coins a day, and can buy 15 half-pound big crabs.

In his time, how many people could buy 15 half-pound wild flower crabs or swimming crabs with a day's salary?

Flower crabs cost more than 20 yuan a pound and swimming crabs cost more than 40 yuan, all of which are farmed.

A day's salary of 150 yuan is affordable, but a monthly income of 3,000 yuan is not as good as the salary of the two governments of the Tang Dynasty.

People bought them one after another, it's just one person's day's salary! A family of five bought them, and each person tried three to taste the freshness.

"The navy doesn't need to be allocated in the future, right?"

Bi Gou, who was about to retire and join the group, was still fulfilling his duties.

The navy used to be funded by the court, but now he may make money, and the money from fishing goes directly into another account, which is dedicated to shipbuilding and buying steam engines from Li's manor.

The things worth 100 million strings are given to the court.

This year, including the trade income of the Shibosi and the money taken back by the Tang Dynasty Navy, the Ministry of Revenue has an income of more than 200 million strings.

When Li Yi first arrived at the Tang Dynasty, the fiscal revenue was more than 7 million strings.

With 30 times the income, Bi Gou insisted on making another contribution to the Ministry of Revenue, which would be clearly recorded in the history books in the future.

"Okay, no problem." Li Yi agreed, the navy does make money.

Many people have to sign up, join the army, and become conscripts, with low salaries and high dividends.

Each time a sea vessel fishes, each crew member gets at least one string, and the key is how many days they fish.

Others earn one to two strings a month, they earn ten strings a month, and if they go to the ocean, just this time, each person gets more than 100 strings.

Asked if it's hard to go to sea? The answer is not hard.
