"Why not? Since Yi Zhixie wants to fight, he can fight to the death. Do you really think that his 300,000 cavalry are invincible? It's a good time for the people of the world to see who is the real one in the world today. Master!"
Liu Deng's voice was not loud, but it made everyone straighten their backs.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Guang and several generals looked at each other, and then knelt down on the ground one by one.
"Okay, let's talk about flattery later. I'll leave the army preparations to you guys. I'm going out for a few days!"
"promise!"
Several people looked at each other and then responded directly.
After seeing them off, Liu Deng returned to the palace. After changing into casual clothes, he went straight to Ye Yijian's mansion.
"My lord, why are you here at this time?"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Ye Yijian hurried out.
"Okay, this is not the place to talk, let's change places!"
After not seeing each other for a few months, Ye Yijian's body has gained weight again. It seems that he is living a good life.
It is indeed much better to have someone by his side to take care of him than when he was a bachelor.
"No! Your Majesty, please come with me!"
Ye Yijian did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led Liu Deng to a secret room.
"How are you preparing the things I asked you to prepare? How much inventory do you have now?"
After the secret room was closed, Liu Deng asked.
"Replying to your Majesty, everything was done according to your instructions. Now we have 100,000 kilograms of high-quality lamp oil in our hands!"
As Ye Yijian spoke, he hurriedly opened a secret compartment, then took out a small jar of lamp oil and placed it in front of Liu Deng.
Liu Deng opened the lid with interest, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. Smelling the pungent smell, Liu Deng suddenly felt familiar for no reason.
He originally lived in a rural area when he was a child, and his favorite childhood game was chasing those passing large trucks.
So as for the smell of diesel, I am really familiar with it.
I really didn't expect that after a thousand years, I could still smell this kind of thing.
Petroleum now has a special name called stone paint. Although their current distillation method is very crude, it is still possible to get some diesel.
"Ten thousand jins? The number is really too small. How much more can we get in half a month?"
Liu Deng frowned. Ten thousand kilograms sounds like a lot, but when applied to a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, it seems like a drop in the bucket.
"We have tried our best to send people to get it, but so far, only a few springs have been found near Shangjun. Some time ago, there were Huns near Shangjun, and we lost more than 300 people..."
The expression on Ye Yijian's face turned gloomy for a while. More than 300 elite men died just to protect these stone paints, which really made him feel that the gain was not worth the loss.
"The compensation for all the victims will be at the level of a school captain! Tell the brothers, this thing can not only be used to make lamp oil, it can also be made into weapons!"
Liu Deng sighed. He knew what Ye Yijian was thinking, but there was only so much he could say now.
"Your Majesty, in fact, if we only consider igniting fire, the strong liquor we made is also acceptable..."
Ye Yijian reminded in a low voice.
The road from Shangjun to Jinyang is long, and it is really troublesome to transport these things. What's more, Liu Deng also kept everything secret.
After this calculation, the price of each kilogram of stone paint was almost seventy or eighty cents, which really made Ye Yijian feel a little pain.
"Of course I know that this strong liquor can also be used, but it is wartime after all. Lingnan needs a lot of food after the war. If we consume a lot of food to make wine now, what will we do in the future? Don't be afraid of spending money, as long as it can be used Problems that money solves are not problems!”
If Lingnan's consumption was not considered, Liu Deng wouldn't have to go to such trouble.
But now that it's like this, Liu Deng can only grit his teeth and hold on.
"promise!"
Liu Deng had already said this, so Ye Yijian naturally stopped insisting.
"Do your best, but there is one more thing. You must be careful when transporting and storing this thing. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted!"
Although their current refining method is very primitive and the purity is not very high, this thing burns very violently.
Being caught off guard was enough to give these Huns a big surprise.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know how powerful it is!"
Ye Yijian always made decisions before taking action, so Liu Deng didn't interfere too much.
"I'll leave the things here to you, so there's no need to send them to me! In addition, you should immediately send someone to send me 500 kilograms of lamp oil to Wuyan Institute!"
"promise!"
After explaining the oil matters, Liu Deng got on the carriage again and headed all the way to the Wuhan Institute.
Although he can't make the rigorous Molotov cocktail of later generations, he can make a copycat version that is enough for those Huns to drink a pot.
After all, the Huns cavalry were all wearing leather armor, and the horses were all covered with manes.
As long as this thing catches fire, let's see what they can do to put it out!
Liu Deng quietly arrived at the Wuyan Academy, and then directly gathered Mr. Hu Yan, his two brothers, and several elders of the Mo family together.
After telling them his ideas and what he knew, Liu Deng immediately became the boss of the company.
Anyway, these people have now formed their own system, and Liu Deng can't actually get involved.
Although the situation is urgent now, he will not do the kind of thing where an amateur orders an expert.
After telling him what he knew, he sat aside and waited for them to come up with a plan and wait for them to come up with the final sample.
Their efficiency was indeed much higher than Liu Deng expected. After everyone gathered together to discuss, they started the first experiment directly.
They are indeed very clever. After only seven or eight attempts, they have found the focus of the problem.
Although there is no white sugar now, the effect of using icing sugar is actually similar. This stuff is only used to increase the viscosity and adhesion.
By the time it gets dark, the final formula will be finalized, and they creatively add red phosphorus to it.
This suddenly doubles the power of this thing. Once it is ignited, unless it is completely burned out, it is almost impossible to extinguish it on the endless grassland.
"Your Majesty, this thing is really vicious. If it is used in war, it may harm Tianhe..."
Hu Yancang was frightened when he saw that the final product burned a bullock to ashes.
"If we can let the soldiers go home safely, what does it matter if they are just insulted? Sir, just don't worry, if anyone talks about it afterwards, just say that everything is my king's order!"
