Chapter 1880: Cheat oil

In fact, the fire attack proposed by Lu Feng and the tactics of destroying the rudder of the enemy ship in advance are the upgraded version of Zheng Zhilong's "Ba Luowan Battle" against the Dutch. In the "Luowan Bay Battle", because the Liu Xiang fleet carried the main attack, and Zheng Zhilong was not familiar with the Western ships, he did not send people to work, resulting in the loss of 3 of the 8 Dutch warships and the remaining 5 All the ships escaped with injuries.

And this upgraded version of the fire attack method by Marin also includes a means for the water ghost to destroy the enemy's rudder. In this way, when the Portuguese discover that the fireboat is attacking, even if they board the boat and sail away in time, they will not be able to turn to the road in time because of the rudder failure. As long as it is stuck by the fireboat, there is absolutely no good ending.

In addition, Marin has plans to make the water ghost carry the "fire oil bottle" tactics. The so-called "fire oil bottle" is actually to put the fire oil in a common porcelain bottle and be carried by the water ghost. When the fireboat rushed to the vicinity, the water ghost threw the fire oil bottle on the enemy ship deck. Porcelain bottles are fragile and hit the deck, and flaming oil flows over the deck. At this time, the fireboat leaned up again, and it was easy to ignite the deck. As for the water ghost, there is no problem. They are water-based and can easily avoid the range of fireboats. Even if there is a fire on the body, a dull man dives into the water, and the fire can be extinguished by the dullness.

After Lu Feng introduced the "fire oil bottle", he asked the servants who accompanied him to take out dozens of "fire oil bottles"-these were gasoline extracted from the oil produced in the oil well at Miaoli Chufangkeng The mixture with kerosene is very flammable.

Although the current output of the Chukeng oil well is very low, the daily output is currently only a few tens of kilograms. However, it is no problem to use it to refine dozens of bottles of "fire oil".

In fact, the Ming Dynasty also had fierce fire oil, which was also extracted from oil. This thing of oil was recorded in the Song Dynasty, and its application in ancient China was relatively early.

However, the use of oil in ancient China was relatively primitive, that is, using oil directly as an arson weapon, the burning intensity of which is far less than the mixture of refined gasoline and kerosene. After all, the oil is doped with too much diesel and lubricating oil that is difficult to ignite over open flames. The mixture of gasoline and kerosene extracted from Marin's distillation kettle is very easy to burn, and it burns very quickly and is difficult to extinguish.

This is the result of Marin's suppression. He let the craftsmen deliberately raise the distillation temperature, and the obtained gasoline was doped with a lot of kerosene with a higher flash point. If it were all gasoline, it would be more terrifying and dangerous to burn.

In order to prove the power of this kind of "fire oil", Lu Feng specially asked people to find damp firewood and spread it on the ground. Then, he took out a porcelain bottle filled with kerosene and smashed it on it to let the kerosene soak the wet wood.

Then, Lu Feng wanted a torch and threw it on it. Then, the "fire oil" burned violently, and the fire was extremely fierce. Then, the wet wood under the fire oil was also burned by the blazing fire with white gas-it was evaporated water vapor. When the steam was dried, the wet wood was dried and then burned in a fierce fire. With little effort, it was burned to ashes ...

"This ... really fierce! Lu Sheng, can you still have this fierce fire oil in your hand? The officer needs a lot!" Wang Mang said excitedly.

He has also seen the world, has seen ordinary fire oil. However, although ordinary kerosene is also easy to burn, it is not so fierce. This kind of mixture of gasoline and kerosene, the flame flare up suddenly when burning, unlike ordinary combustion, the flame slowly rises. This kind of combustion is most suitable for burning a ship.

Lu Feng shook his head and said:

"This is when the student travels to Dongfan Island, the governor of Dongfan Island, Kong Tai (Kong Tai is called the governor in the Beihai Kingdom, but in the Ming Dynasty, he cannot be called the governor, but only called the governor, instead of Ma Lin, the non-resident Dongfanbo, handled the affairs) and delivered dozens of bottles. It is said that this fierce oil was extracted from the oil by Western alchemists. He does not have much oil, otherwise he can produce more ... … "

Wang Meng's eyes lit up suddenly and asked:

"This thing is refined from petroleum? What is the yield rate?" Wang Wang of Petroleum knew it. He also read the "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Shen Kuo, and knew that this product produced in northern Shaanxi was widely used as fire oil by the Ming army. However, the power of this fierce fire oil is beyond his imagination and is the most suitable weapon for fire attack. If the energy is produced, it will definitely make the Daming Navy's combat power soar!

Lv Feng said "honestly" according to Kong Tai's instructions:

"Listening to the big manager of Kong said that this kind of fiery oil can only be refined by a large alchemist in the North Sea country, and the output rate is very low. One pound of fierce fire oil can only produce one or two less." One or two here, not 1 pound 10 One or two of the two, but one or two of a pound of sixteen, which is about 37.3 grams, is one-sixteenth of a pound.

But in fact, even if the refining method is backward, there is no means for cracking and hydrogenation. The total ratio of gasoline and kerosene extracted using a common distillation kettle has reached about 20%, or 20%.

But Kong Tai deliberately reported Wang Meng one-sixteenth, or 6.25%, because of an order from Marin-he wanted to deceive Daming's oil resources ...

As a historical student, Marin remembered that although the Ming Dynasty did not drill the first oil well in Sichuan, Sichuan and Jiazhou until 1521, it was quickly buried, but ancient China collected oil long ago.

Of course, those oils are oil seedlings that came out of the surface by themselves, and the output is not much, and the ancients did not specifically drill to recover oil ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ And the oil well in Sichuan, Sichuan, and Jiazhou is a drilling method that uses Zhuojing well It happened by accident when we opened the salt well. But because the locals had insufficient knowledge of oil, it was not the brine brine well they needed, so it was a pity to fill this artificially deep oil well. The oil in northern Shaanxi and other places is the oil from a manual shallow well a few meters deep dug by the locals. The output of a well is about the same as that of the pit, and the daily output is dozens of pounds.

But the Ming Dynasty was so big, not one or two oil wells. One bite here, another bite, the total annual output is tens of thousands of catties. However, these tens of thousands of kilograms of oil were simply and crudely used as kerosene for fire attack without further processing.

Marin means that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to help the Ming Dynasty process the more powerful gasoline and kerosene blended oil, and cheat from Da Mingduo and oil. At that time, even if he returned 6.25% of the blended oil to Daming, he would still have more than 13% of gasoline and kerosene remaining. What's more, more than 20% of diesel can be obtained to provide fuel for diesel engines in Beihai. Refining the remaining oil from gasoline, kerosene, and diesel can also extract mineral lubricating oil.

And the mixed power of gasoline and kerosene is super fierce. After the Ming Dynasty realized the power of this fierce fire oil, they would certainly find ways to expand production. At that time, more oil will be sent to Marin, even if gasoline and kerosene are sent back to Daming, even the diesel fuel saved can make Marin profitable.
