Chapter 241 Luminous Plants that Absorb Energy

Seeing Song Anmin's mysterious face, Ning Ze couldn't help but be aroused with curiosity. He saw Song Anmin slowly coming to an experimental table, with an object similar to an oil lamp placed on it.

However, this oil lamp seems to be a little exhausted, and the burning flame in it is weak and strong, as if it may be extinguished at any time.

Ning Ze glanced at him inexplicably, and Song Anmin just smiled lightly and said, "Lord, you might as well guess what the mystery is in this lamp?"

Ning Ze did not display the majesty of a superior, but took a closer look at the inconspicuous lamp in front of him, and smelled a familiar smell emanating from it, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

When Song Anmin saw this, he immediately stopped trying to make excuses and said directly: "It seems that the lord has also made a guess. Yes, the burning energy substance used in this 'oil lamp' comes from these luminous plants. "

Ning Ze also became a little excited when he heard that the situation was indeed as he had guessed.

As we all know, several conventional energy substances known on Blue Star all have one characteristic, and that is combustion.

From the initial coal to later petroleum, alcohol and even flammable ice also have combustion properties.

Although electrical energy, light energy and some other energy sources do not have the characteristics of combustion, the reason why energy is called energy is essentially a process of generating heat.

Of course, Ningze doesn't actually know much about energy, so there will definitely be some cognitive errors. For example, oil itself is not flammable, but it has the characteristics of burning after subsequent processing.

However, the "oil lamp" in front of me looks like it is dying. It can indeed burn, but the burning posture does not look stable and may be extinguished at any time.

"Although these unknown liquids from luminous plants can burn, the burning posture seems to be too unstable." Ning Ze said what he was thinking.

Song Anmin smiled and said: "Lord, you may not know something. The burning energy liquid in this lamp is simply extracted by me using some methods. The purity is definitely not enough. If I can master more sophisticated refining technology, , then these energy liquids will also have the same flammability as gasoline and alcohol."

At this point, he paused again, as if there was something else he wanted to say but couldn't find it easy to say.

When Ning Ze saw this, he said bluntly: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

Song Anmin stopped hesitating and said immediately: "Actually, I have another discovery. Of course, this discovery has not been confirmed yet, but it can be considered as a trace."

"Actually, not all the substances contained in these luminous plants are combustible. What the Lord is seeing now is a liquid substance that I extracted from some special luminous plants. After a simple refinement, it became It is combustible."

Ning Ze frowned upon hearing this, not quite understanding what he meant by this sentence.

Song Anmin did not beat around the bush and continued: "Perhaps this is not a strange thing to the lord, but in my eyes, this situation is full of unknowns, so I have been looking for the answer."

"It was eventually discovered that these luminous plants containing flammable liquid substances were mostly grown close to fire sources. For example, in the territory, there were some luminous plants growing near a stove, and these plants contained Possessing flammable materials."

"On the contrary, if it is those luminous plants that are far away from the fire source, the liquid substances contained in them are not combustible. No matter how refined they are, they will not burn in the end."

"So, I suspect that these luminous plants may also have some strange abilities, such as being able to absorb certain energy substances from the surrounding environment, so that they also have similar characteristics. Of course, these are all my guesses. But in order to confirm this, I am now starting to verify this aspect.”

Listening to Song Anmin's words, Ning Ze couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As expected of a well-known private scientist, his imagination is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Plants that can absorb energy and have the same properties themselves may not seem like much at first, but if you think about it carefully, it is something that can shock everyone.

According to Song Anmin, these luminous plants are currently only close to the fire source, and the juice in their bodies has been refined to become flammable.

What if it is close to a power point or other energy point? Doesn't that mean that this substance may become an all-powerful energy substance in the future?

The amount of information contained in this news was so great that Ning Ze's brain was overwhelmed. However, he was still very interested in what Song Anmin said, although he did not think that such conjecture was realistic. , but what if?

After thinking for a while, he said: "I understand what you said. You can take care of the experimental arrangements yourself. If you need anything, tell me at any time, but the progress must be accelerated. You also know that the current territory There isn’t much diesel left in storage.”

Song Anmin responded repeatedly: "Thank you Lord for your help, but regarding the matter of refining this substance, I would rather recommend that Expert Kong handles it. After all, her research on energy is actually better than mine."

When Ning Ze heard the words Expert Kong, his mind stopped for a second, and then he remembered that the so-called Expert Kong was actually Kong Qiaoyun, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences.

If Song Anmin hadn't mentioned this person at this time, he might have almost forgotten that there was such a figure in the Academy of Sciences.

"You are the president of the Academy of Sciences. You can arrange the personnel yourself. But speaking of which, what is Kong Qiaoyun doing recently?" Ning Ze asked.

Song Anmin responded: "Expert Kong may not be very optimistic about the research in my hands for some reasons, so she has been conducting energy exploration near the territory in the past two days. However, judging from the current situation, She didn’t seem to find anything there.”

"Speaking of which, I have actually made some guesses about this. Perhaps, there are no oil and gas fields in this world at all. Of course, this is just my guess, but it is also my intuition, and my intuition has always been strong. precise."

"Aren't there some basic energy substances?"

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, Ning Ze walked on the road and pondered. Of course, this sentence itself has a logical loophole, because coal resources are also one of the energy substances, and coal has been discovered by him so far.

But speaking carefully, it seems that since he came to this survival world, he has not discovered any other type of energy substances, although oil fields and other things cannot be discovered by discovery.

But on the World Chat channel, he did not hear anyone mention anything about the discovery of oil fields.

If he had just thought that energy substances such as oil and natural gas had actually been discovered, it was just that human nature is all about hiding treasures and would hide good things from others.

But now that I listen carefully, even if some people think this way, there will inevitably be some idiots among so many people, and they can't help but run to the chat channel to show off.

Today, no such person has appeared, which clearly illustrates the crux of the problem.

If there really is no energy material such as oil in the world, then this fact is undoubtedly very bad news for this group of players, because the lack of higher-level energy means that Industrial development will be difficult.

If you only rely on coal resources, you can at most improve the industrial level of the players to the level of steam engines. It is delusional to take a step further.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Ze chose to summon Hu Er. When Hu Er heard Ning Ze's description, he also looked confused.

"It's black, like water, and as thick as oil. Hmm, I seem to have never seen anything like this before."

Hu Er recalled it carefully, then shook his head, but at the end, he said: "But if there are related legends, my subordinates have heard about it."

"Tell me and listen." Ning Ze said.

Hu Er immediately said slowly: "Actually, it is just a legend and should not be taken as true. It is said that in ancient times, there were countless underground rivers under the surface of the earth, and these underground rivers showed a black color because of the lack of light. "

"It also includes the legend of the origin of the God of Earth and Fire. It is said that the God of Earth and Fire was born in these underground rivers. During the long life journey of the God of Earth and Fire, he successfully tamed the creatures under the surface of the earth. All the underground rivers, and every time the God of Fire is angry, these underground rivers will burst into flames."

Hearing this, Ning Ze glanced at Hu Er in surprise.

You know, when he asked just now, he did not mention that oil comes from beneath the earth's surface, nor did he say that oil has the possibility of burning.

According to Hu Er's description, these so-called underground rivers are indeed exactly the same as oil.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Did the legend mention what happened to these underground rivers in the end?"

Hu Er said: "Actually, there are many versions of the legend about the underground river. Some say that the black water in the underground river was eventually drank up by the God of Earth and Fire, and some say that it is because the underground rivers controlled by the God of Earth and Fire, He was coveted by other gods, so in the end the God of Earth and Fire was assassinated, and the Dark River was divided among the gods, and some said."

Hu Er talked about several versions in succession, but no matter which version it was, the final result was that the underground river no longer existed.

Although this is just a legend, thinking that this world may not have energy substances such as oil, he feels more and more that this world is an oil desert.

"Then have you ever seen a burning gas that comes from the ground?" Ning Ze asked out of curiosity.

Hu Er couldn't help but look at him one more time, then shook his head and said: "I have never seen the thing that your Excellency mentioned, but there are also records of such things in the legend about the God of Earth and Fire."

"It is said that the God of Earth and Fire will expel a gas from his body every once in a while, and this gas will ignite when it encounters fire, and every time it will definitely cause the destruction of all life on the ground."

"However, with the death of the God of Earth Fire, these Earth Fire Qi also disappeared."

It’s about the God of Earth and Fire again!

And it also disappeared from the legendary records.

Speaking of which, this was not the first time that Ning Ze had heard about the God of Earth Fire. He had learned spells related to earth fire and spells related to sky fire in the ruins of the Heavenly Fire Holy See.

He originally thought that the sky fire and the earth fire should be the same existence, but now after listening to Hu Er's description, he realized that the sky fire and the earth fire might be two different things.

So the question is, why are there magic related to earth fire in the ruins of the Heavenly Fire Church?

Ning Ze didn't think much about it. Although what Hu Er said may indicate that there are no energy substances such as oil and natural gas in this world, it is still a legend after all.

Perhaps one day in the future, oil fields and gas fields may be discovered somewhere.

"Although things like oil and natural gas are not available yet, things like biogas should be able to be produced by ourselves."

Regarding biogas, it is also a good energy material. In many rural areas, every household has dug a biogas digester.

Biogas is also very useful. Its main function is to burn it. Although the energy efficiency is not very good, it can be regarded as one of the recyclable energy materials.

Thinking of this, Ning Ze immediately asked people with relevant knowledge to prepare for the excavation of biogas digesters in the territory.

After all, the world is likely to be an energy desert without even oil fields or gas fields. It is also a good thing to be able to use one more energy source.

In the next three days, Ningze has been focusing on building the territory, and the entire territory is in full swing.

Of course, he did not stop with the Armor Soldier Soul matter, and was still executing according to the original plan, and the entire plan was proceeding according to the budget.

On the first day, the soldiers who were dispersed through the anchor point discovered the appearance of the armored soldier soul team around three o'clock in the afternoon.

As expected, this small team of armored soldiers was also sent out to fight the autumn wind. They detained more than thirty humans and a large number of various materials, the most of which were animals.

The war team led by Ning Ze came here to rob these squads of armored souls, so they naturally killed all the squads of armored souls with "peace of mind" and confiscated the supplies they carried, so that his territory could be restored. There was a growth.
