Chapter 1314
"What? Master Jun, do you think this thing can solve our heating problem in Northern Qi?" The old man looked unconvinced.
Tang Yu chuckled softly: "That's right! Master, as long as there is a steady supply of coal, the heating problem in Northern Qi will be easily solved!"
"impossible?"
The old man said in surprise: "Laojun Mountain has a history of thousands of years. During this period, there were several fires in Laojun Mountain. Every time there was a fire, Laojun Mountain burned for several days and nights. The main reason was that there were black lumps! Although this thing It can burn for a long time, but these things are poisonous. After being ignited, they will emit a poisonous smell. If you smell it for a long time, people will be poisoned and die."
"I know, but this is not a big problem for me!" Tang Yu grinned.
He knew very well that original coal would release carbon monoxide when ignited. Carbon monoxide could not solve the problem. It would indeed cause carbon monoxide poisoning over a long period of time. This situation was indeed common in the past.
When the old man saw that Tang Yu was so confident, he subconsciously asked, "Master Jun, I have found the coal you want for you. I wonder if the old man promised you the thousand taels of silver?"
"Here, here's a thousand taels of silver notes!"
Tang Yu kept his word and took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his body and handed it to the old man.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!" The old man burst into tears of gratitude after receiving a thousand taels of silver notes.

When the old man left, Tang Yu shouted in a deep voice: "For those who come out, please immediately notify Senior Ye and Senior Wu Song to come to Laojun Mountain. The others will stay and dig coal for me. The more you can dig, the better!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Everyone responded immediately.
The news that Tang Yu had found coal spread quickly, and Ye Nantian, Wu Song and others immediately led people to kill him.
With the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, everyone finally got a few bags of coal and returned to the Northern Qi Palace.
After returning to his residence, Wu Song said in surprise: "Your Highness, are you sure this black lump can solve the heating problem in Northern Qi?"
"What? Senior Wu Song, you don't believe me?" Tang Yu chuckled.
"No, no, please don't get me wrong, Your Highness!"
Wu Song explained: "To be honest, I have seen this black lump before, but it is poisonous and not suitable for heating, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Ye Nantian also said from the side.
Tang Yu lowered his voice and said with a mysterious smile: "Although coal itself is poisonous, it only needs to be processed! To be honest, today I am going to use coal to make briquettes. As long as the briquettes are successfully made, the heating problem in Northern Qi will be solved!" "
"Coal briquettes? What is briquettes?" As soon as these words came out, everyone became interested.
Tang Yu touched his chin and said: "Coal briquettes are a mixture of raw coal, carbonized sawdust, lime, red (yellow) mud, charcoal powder and other base materials, and a flammable combustion accelerant composed of nitrate, potassium permanganate, etc. Good. No, you won’t understand even if I talk too much, just follow my instructions. The first step is to break all the coal into powder!”
"Understood!" Everyone nodded collectively.
After following Tang Yu for such a long time, they all know that Tang Yu has many strange ideas in his mind, and they only need to follow Tang Yu's instructions.
To be honest, Tang Yu has never made briquettes himself, but when he was a child, his family often used briquettes to boil water for cooking, so he had a general understanding of briquettes.
If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig running?
Following the steps in his memory, Tang Yu first asked people to break up the coal raw materials, then inject water, then add other raw materials, and finally started making it according to the appearance of honeycomb briquettes.
