Yan Changwu lights up one of the science and technology trees in oil production, making kerosene!
Kerosene is extracted from petroleum. To be precise, it is distilled from petroleum. Steam is used to heat the crude oil, and various components are distilled. The first fraction is gasoline, and the middle fraction is kerosene.
Because of this origin, don’t think that kerosene is a very tall game. There is natural kerosene in nature. Before the discovery of oil, oil-like liquids were found in red lignite coal mines and oil shale rock formations, which can be used to light lamps and support combustion. , The name kerosene came into being.
As early as the 9th century in the Baghdad region of the Middle East, there have been records of the use of kerosene.
Of course, it is only used sporadically. If you want to develop large-scale kerosene production, you need technology to pass the customs, and there must be a stable enough crude oil supply, strong productivity and a good sales market.
Now that all conditions are in place, the production of kerosene will be a matter of course.
The kerosene produced by South China Empire Guangming Company burns completely, has sufficient brightness, stable flame, no black smoke, no lights, no obvious odor, and low environmental pollution.
Everyone is attracted by the many styles of kerosene lamps on the display, which are mainly divided into two categories, one is the family-style kerosene lamp, and the other is the lantern-style kerosene lantern, which is mainly used in the field.
Household kerosene lamps use a long lamp tube, and small kerosene lamps use a short tube. The lamp tube is used to protect the light from being blown out by the wind, and it is not easy to turn off when you walk with the light. It is mostly made of glass, and the shape is like a thin waist. On the belly gourd, there is a lamp holder shaped like an open-mouthed toad. On the side of the lamp holder, there is a **** that can adjust the wick in and out to control the brightness of the lamp.
Everyone stepped forward to debug, and these senior figures had fun like children.
In addition to these two types of small lights, there are also headlights, which are used for outdoor lighting, and their wicks are thicker, and some people have as thick arms.
It can illuminate and can be used in searchlights military.
really not bad!
Everyone is overjoyed. It seems that in addition to being able to fight military, the empire also has the highest technological capabilities in the world!
They already know that, in addition to military and economic battles between countries, science and technology can also be transformed into productivity, which brings huge benefits.
As you can imagine, as soon as the kerosene is released, there must be a big market to go. They are thinking about knowing this inside news, and after they go back, they will buy the stocks of the kerosene companies and make a fortune!
...
Yan Changwu inspected the company and demanded that security should be done so that the technology must not be leaked.
China pays attention to confidentiality, so that the possibility of foreigners wanting to spy on technology is very small. In fact, many foreign countries are very interested in Chinese technology. For example, why the white sugar produced in China is so white and sweet, and the foreigners still don’t understand. As a result, India, which is rich in raw sugar, could not sell sugar. Instead, Chinese businessmen bought their raw sugar, processed it into refined white sugar, and sold it back to Indians at several times the value!
I patrolled Sumatra Island, but I saw a vast alluvial plain in the east, full of swamps. Diligent Chinese immigrants drained water, cultivated rice fields, planted palm trees, and collected crude oil from the ground.
There are more than 90 volcanoes in Sumatra. Due to the influence of volcanic ash, it is very conducive to agriculture. The agricultural products are mainly rice, corn, coffee, rubber, tea, oil palm, tobacco, coconut, etc. The agricultural products grown for export include rubber, tobacco, tea, coffee, palm oil, ramie fiber, viburnum, copra, kapok, peanuts and pepper.
There are large tracts of farmland there, and one plantation after another.
Chinese immigrants used a lot of animal power, owned cattle and donkeys in groups, and used iron farming tools---don't underestimate this. At present, most of the civilized areas on the Blue Star use wooden farming tools!
Ironware is hard currency. Iron is the turn of gold, silver, and copper, which is equivalent to using money as farm tools. If the quantity is large, ordinary countries simply cannot afford it.
In the empire’s economy, Sumatra occupies an important position. It is an important food export place for the army of the Western Expedition. It is also a major supplier of corn cakes, tea, tobacco, dried coconut, coffee, oil and rope. The reason is very simple. near.
In recent years, the Sudanese province has rushed to the land and supplied a large amount of military resources, but the island of Sumatra still occupies a high proportion. Wonderful book
This island is a treasure island that contains oil, tin, coal, gold, silver and other minerals. The output is rich. For example, the annual output of gold is worth millions of silver dollars. In recent years, a large coal field has been discovered with an area of about 100 square kilometers, which is ten kilometers. Ten kilometers of open-pit coal mine!
The mining is extremely convenient, and the fuel problem in the neighboring areas has been solved in one go.
Wherever it goes, there are green trees growing up, and there is very little land with fruit on the ground. The environmental protection is done well, and it can keep the green mountains and green waters while developing.
It can be seen that the work of the local government is very effective, the streets of the town are clean and orderly
The empire has worked **** infrastructure, building roads everywhere,
It took Yan Changwu a full two months to inspect the various areas of Sumatra. People said it was very good. As long as you work hard, you can make a fortune.
The problem reflected is lack of people, lack of people!
It can be said that Sumatra is full of gold. As long as you are diligent, you can make a small fortune, and you can make a fortune if you find more people to develop it!
A lot of people are powerful, and a lot of people make a fortune. Since there are not enough people from the immigrants of the country, then migrant workers are also OK.
For example, many of the attendants of the Eighth Elementary School in China can speak Chinese. They can communicate well with the Chinese when they work in Sumatra and work as required.
Elephant wives are good. They are willing to lower their wages, and they all want to work for the Chinese.
There is also Asan. Although stupid and smelly, he is obedient and low in wages, which is very suitable.
And it is said that Uncle Black bought it at a low price and doesn't pay for it.
The provincial governments that govern the whole province take a cautious attitude towards the introduction of the population. They manage labor service companies, and the companies bring in labor from foreign countries, but the number is not enough to keep up with the economic development!
"For example, we need at least a hundred people, and the government can provide us with 30 people at most!" Someone said with dissatisfaction.
This was the situation reported by the locals at the local personnel talks held by Yan Changwu. Yan Changwu did not need to answer, and the accompanying Mr. David would explain it.
A good Mr. David, as Baipi, talked about the example of Baipi, that is, "Brother Graguo reforms!"
In the era when the Gracu brothers of the Roman Empire were in the conquest war for many years, the land of soldiers and bankrupt peasants who died in battle was annexed by the nobles. The huge wealth and slaves brought by the aggression replaced the previous small peasant economy, resulting in many poor people. There is no job to do, unable to feed themselves, the gap between the rich and the poor is wide, and class contradictions are becoming increasingly acute.
"There are so many slaves that small farmers can't find jobs!" Mr. David said.
"There are still five chaotic China!" Mr. David explained the five chaotic China, referring to the fact that in the Western Jin Dynasty, many nomads outside the Great Wall took advantage of the Western Jin Dynasty’s Eight Kings' chaos and weakened their national power. They established several non-Han regimes, forming a confrontation with the southern Han regime. Period ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Wuhu" mainly refers to the five big Hu people tribes of Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Di, but in fact Wuhu is the representative of all the Hu people in chaos in the late Western Jin Dynasty, and the number is far from five. .
The five wild China caused great chaos in the north, and the Han people were reduced to two-legged sheep for a long time. This was a disaster for the Han nation. Counting from the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty (316), until the Xianbei and Northern Wei unified the north (439), it can be called "Yongjia Rebellion", "Land Sinking of Central Plains", "Occupation of Central Plains" and so on. It wasn't until the Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty in 581 and the Chen Dynasty was destroyed in 589 that China ended 300 years of turmoil and partition.
As the imperial marshal, Mr. David speaks authentic Mandarin and mentioned Chinese and foreign cases, which is very convincing.
"Shenzhou Lu Shen!"
"Do you want your children and grandchildren to fall into this sad future?" Mr. David asked.
Okay Okay, you make sense, we don't need foreign labor!
