Release that Witch Chapter 841: Usage of Black water

However, like Extreme Southern Region, the situation that Black water converges into "underground Muhe" is quite rare. According to the report of Iron Axe, the viscosity of Muhe is continuously decreasing from choked swamp to Endless Cape, and the concentration of dead fog also increases Getting thinner. Among them, the Black water river valley is regarded as the confluence of several Styx rivers. Standing high in the valley, you can even hear the dull roar of the Black water impact at your feet.

Roland speculates that during the flow process of underground Minghe, it is also constantly changing its composition such as the dead fog described in the report, which is likely to be a toxic gas volatilized by Black water itself, or it may be reacted with certain substances underground. Generated results. This may explain why after hundreds of years of evolution, the Black water valley has not been turned into a huge brazier due to lightning or artificial arson, and the rumored swamp has been dying.

The dead fog covering the top of the Styx River can't help but block the footsteps of Sandpeople, and also isolate the air, so that Black water can flow southward steadily. In the Cape area, the underground river is missing, only a small part of it will be ejected from the ground due to the pressure, and some form a burning pillar of fire, while others become a stream and a shallow depression. At this time, Black water had no suffocating dead fog and was suitable for mining.

Facing such a strange crude oil, Roland does not know how many kinds of oils it can decompose. It can only instruct the chief alchemist to carry out the test, and then make the next step after obtaining the results.

The results are still very encouraging from the point of view of separation of samples.

"Black water can indeed be used to make the horrible weapon, but its use is far more than that." Roland, while answer is holding Cam, pick up the glass and look carefully, "Only the high heat value of combustion , There are a lot of articles to do, you will know later. "

For the straight-headed chief alchemist, hanging him with unknown new things is the best driving method.

When he saw the other person's dissatisfaction, he smiled secretly, "Talk about the experiment. If you really want to use Black water, you ca n’t rely on a few curved flasks and condenser tubes. It is the same as double acid production , You have to think of a way to mass produce. "

The principle of petroleum separation is very simple. It is almost the most basic chemical knowledge. The petroleum is converted into steam by heating, and then introduced into the fractionation tower. The different boiling points of various oils in the mixed liquid are condensed in order to obtain Finished products such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and heavy oil. This process is completely a physical change, so it can be easily done under experimental conditions.

Despite the increasing variety of refining technologies and the significant increase in crude oil utilization efficiency, the most classical distillation separation method still works. Naturally, situation is the first choice without paying attention to production costs.

Just as the scale of any process increases, its complexity will increase exponentially. If you want to carry out industrial fractionation, there will be many more places to consider. For this, Cam Schuire should have a deep understanding.

The old alchemist touched his beard, "Well ... I have to think about this a few more days, and I need the help of Witch Union."

Starting to actively use the power of witch to conduct scientific research experiments. This is a good sign. Roland nodded. "If you have any requirements, send someone to tell me, I will arrange it."

"Thank you Your Majesty," Cam's eyes rolled, "Besides that, I have a little request."

"Oh? you say."

"When you use them to create new gadgets, can you let me watch them?" He had an irresistible curiosity in his tone.

Theoretically, this request is out of bounds for confidentiality, just as the engineer responsible for refining uranium ore wants to know the entire Manhattan plan. However, Roland agreed to him after a little thought, after all, this can improve his enthusiasm for work, and at the same time, there are no opponents that can compete with Neverwinter in technological level.

"Then you have to do it well," he pointed to the cups of fractionated liquid, "the sooner you produce them, the sooner you will know the answer."

"Wait ... do you need all of these?" Cam wondered, "Although they can all be burned, the Black water fractionated from the lower layer is probably not as good as snow powder. The smoke is very heavy and the fire is not great. It's too embarrassing to use it to light. "

This guy is still thinking about the explosives and treating the inactive oil and residue as waste. Roland thought that the light oil in the upper layer really burns more violently, but it is much more difficult to use in practice. Under situation, which lacks additives, a slight accident can cause an explosion accident, which is not a goal that can be achieved in a short time. Instead, he prefers the lower diesel and heavy oil.

The former does not say much. The excellent internal combustion engine fuel can be used even if the process is not in place and mixed with impurities. At most, it is black smoke and polluting the environment. This is not a matter at all at present.

Heavy oil is important for sailing and is the first choice for steam ships. After all, the efficiency of burning coal is too low. There is no problem running in the inland river. It is a bit difficult to put it into the sea. It is quite difficult to run from the fjord to the Western Region bank. This is also one of the reasons why Roland established Daqing Port in Endless Cape: to supply steam ships on the route. As for going over the Sea Line and into the depths of the ocean, you must burn oil.

It is also the one with the lowest requirements for secondary treatment. It can be used almost after separation. It does not matter that it is mixed with asphalt residues. It is the least particular fuel in the petroleum family.

Of course, Roland will not tell Cam about these in advance. Before the finished product is manufactured, he is not sure whether he can do it. In the event that something is wrong, but it turns out that this is not the case, it will hurt him. I don't know the image. So he just shrugged, "All the oil, including the bottom oil residue and fragments, must be collected separately. I keep it for my own use."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Chief alchemist stroked his chest.

"By the way," Roland stopped at the door of the laboratory, and turned back, saying, "Take a tutorial class."

"What?" Cam froze.

"When I last held the Agricultural Conference, didn't I say that an agronomy course should be offered in the secondary education curriculum, so that even if Golden No. 2 is extended to the whole country, there will be enough people to implement it." Roland stated, "The same Opening a new factory also requires more skilled general education. After graduating, there are still a lot of people who want to get involved in the chemical industry. Let ’s focus on training first, so that you do n’t get busy after entering the factory and cause accidents.

This approach is equivalent to the division of professional subjects after entering university. It was started early in middle school. He had long considered that under the situation without the effort to train all-round talents, professional workers should be trained as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't ... be responsible for Lady Scroll?"

"She is responsible for recruiting, classifying, assessing, and paying salary, but the instructor must be from Ministry of Chemistry, which is yours."

Cam is relieved. It seems that as long as he is not allowed to teach then it will be alright, he has tried his best to recruit a group of alchemy apprentices in exchange for "Intermediate Chemistry" from Roland, which is already his limit. "So that's it, Your Majesty. I think those alchemist from Kingdom Capital are very good. The speeches and appearances are what they were good at, what do you think?"
