The words were put euphemistically. How could Li Zhao not know the little Jiujiu in his heart? He couldn't help pouring a bucket of cold water: "Your Majesty may not have heard what Qing Zhao said. It is not difficult to achieve mass production. If not, it will be difficult to achieve."
“How to achieve mass production?”
Ying Zheng frowned.
"It takes a lot of black water."
At present, there is an unknown amount of black water in Peixian County, but it is definitely not much. To achieve mass production, this alone is not enough, it needs to be continuously provided.
"It's just black water, leave this matter to me. I can get a lot of black water." Ying Zheng patted his chest and said decisively, and he looked confident.
It's not that he is talking nonsense. The sixth generation of Great Qin Dynasty was able to achieve today's great unification. He experienced countless wars and used a lot of black water. There was certainly no shortage of sources.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Zhao's eyes lit up. With this commitment, there will be no need to worry about industrial blood in the future, which will promote the development of internal combustion engines.
He had originally planned to send people out to search for him in a few days, but it seemed unnecessary at the moment.
"Zhaobei will build a refinery as soon as possible to refine gasoline and asphalt as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng laughed heartily and said loudly: "I am waiting for this day to come, but I must do it quickly." This was a deadline given by Ying Zheng to Li Zhao. Although the deadline was not clear, it was somewhat less stressful for Li Zhao.
"Definitely!"
"Also." Ying Zheng suppressed his excitement and pointed at the giant objects, "Create more of these giant objects so that all of us in the Qin Dynasty can use them."
Li Zhao secretly gave Ying Zheng an angry look, thinking to himself that he was still being obedient after getting benefits. Is it so easy to create such a huge thing? This requires expanding the iron smelting base, adding more craftsmen and professionals, and purchasing more equipment. Each of these requires a large amount of gold, and cannot be accomplished in a short time.
But Li Zhao did not refute. He had intended to do this, but it would take some time. But now that the emperor has mentioned it, it may be put on the agenda.
Of course, if we want to develop, we must first create internal combustion engines and then cars. After all, cars are necessary for all industries.
"Your Majesty, these giant things must be built, but not in a short period of time. Cars are the top priority."
"A car? What is a car?"
Facing Li Zhao, Ying Zheng always had the feeling that something new would always come out. He was used to it anyway, but he couldn't help but be curious.
"It's something that eats gasoline like these giants but can go very fast."
"How fast can it go?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Zhao with great interest.
Li Zhao asked back: "Your Majesty, how much can a fast horse run in one hour?"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "About two hundred miles."
This is compared to a strong and fast horse. The average horse has much less. It is considered good to have more than a hundred miles.
"Then Zhao said that the car can be twice as powerful, is it credible?" Li Zhao responded with a positive look on his face, but Ying Zheng was surprised, and asked with wide eyes, "Really?"
Times that, which is about four hundred miles.
"really!"
Li Zhao didn't lie. According to the cars in his previous life, the average speed of a small car after getting on the highway was between 100 and 120. This was still under the speed limit. Some drivers even reached 140 or even 100. One hundred and fifteen hours.
Of course, this is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the walking area must be on a high speed.
If you're on ordinary roads, it's not impossible to hit 120, but it's just not very safe.
At this moment, the more than four hundred miles Li Zhao mentioned is calculated as one mile equals 500 meters and one hour equals two hours, which means the speed is about one hundred kilometers per hour.
Compared with the speed of the car in the previous life, it is very reserved.
Of course, Li Zhao also considered that Da Qin's speed was not as high as that of his previous life, and his manufacturing level was not as good as that of his previous life, so he didn't go into detail.
But according to the design drawings and other content in the department store, if a craftsman can make it, the speed will definitely not be less than 100 kilometers per hour.
This is the experience gained from Shanglinyuan Manufacturing.
"Twice it? It can be doubled. What kind of thing is that? I have never heard of it." Ying Zheng was so excited that he habitually held Li Zhao's hand and asked passionately, "Li Qing, please make it." I have never tried anything so fast. If we could have such a thing, wouldn’t our Great Qin be able to gallop around the world?”
I can't help but admire it, but I forget about the giant thing.
Li Zhao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhao Zheng has this intention, but I'm afraid the black water brought back from Pei County is not enough."
Ying Zheng waved his hands, with an expression as if this was nothing, and said: "I will order someone to luck it out as soon as I return to the palace. It will definitely be enough."
With these words, Li Zhao felt relieved.
The rise of oil will be a revolution and a sign of a new era. Li Zhao can imagine that Shanglinyuan will become a modern city in the near future.
Once the industrial blood is solved, the rest will naturally fall into place, and a new era will begin.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the car needs a smooth road surface to avoid being too bumpy."
Often when cars are traveling at high speeds, if the road surface is not smooth enough and very bumpy, accidents may easily occur, so paving the road is very important.
"Zhaoxiang, after the construction of the oil refinery is completed, asphalt roads will be laid."
"Very good!" Ying Zheng responded without hesitation, "And the faster, the better."
"But the road section still needs to be cut off by Your Majesty."
Li Zhao asked tentatively. He thought of a ready-made road. If His Majesty agrees, it will be much more convenient to build the road. This is not the main thing. The main thing is that it can save a lot of costs.
"It's okay. If you like it, you can ask for it."
Li Zhao did not expect that the emperor would be so happy, which shows his strong desire for asphalt roads.
"Hao wanted to lay asphalt on the straight."
There were many galloping roads in Qin, but there was only one straight road, which was called Qin Straight Road by later generations.
Qin Zhidao is relatively famous in history, and was even used by many subsequent dynasties. It was not until the Republic of China that it was gradually abandoned. Abandonment did not mean complete abandonment, but it was still useful. In modern times, some people travel specifically to take this road to look for historical traces. .
It can be seen that this Tao plays a great role in the historical trend.
The Qin Zhidao starts from Xianyang and ends at Jiuyuan County, with a total length of 1,400 miles. It is the main transportation artery of the Qin Dynasty and a powerful weapon against the Xiongnu.
"Straight road?" Ying Zheng hesitated. It's not that he is stingy. The straight road is an important road. If it fails during the laying process, wouldn't it be abandoned? Of course, his idea was redundant. Paving asphalt roads only meant laying a layer of asphalt on the road surface. At most, letting the compactor run over it would never damage the road surface.
It is even more impossible to abolish it. Even if it is abolished, it will still be more effective than the ordinary way.
However, when the emperor thought about the car that was twice as fast as a horse, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhao Shaoqing has ordered people to build an oil refining workshop and get the cars and asphalt out as soon as possible. By then, Your Majesty wants to go to Jiuyuan County, which can be reached in half a day."
Can it be reached in half a day?
Ying Zheng was stunned.
If it is a fast horse, it will take two days to travel, so it must be done quickly. If it is a march, it will take more time. Can it be reached in half a day after paving asphalt? It seemed a bit outrageous, but when I thought of the car Li Zhao mentioned, I felt relieved.
What Li Zhao said is absolutely true. If this were true, it would be much easier to resist the Huns' invasion, and they could even turn passivity into initiative and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Since the unification of the six kingdoms, the emperor's ambition has never stopped. The reason why it stopped at Jiuyuan County is actually due to various restrictions. If he is given enough conditions, he will definitely take action against the Huns.
"Cai, Cai!" He said "cai" twice in a row, which showed his excitement.
Li Zhao smiled. In fact, he had his own purpose in choosing Qin Zhidao, which was for Yin Man.
Ever since the emperor learned from the mouth that the top of the snow mountain might be in the territory of the Xiongnu, he has been worried. He was afraid that Yinman would follow that sentence to find the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu and Da Qin have always been at odds. If the princess of Da Qin entered, what kind of trouble would it be? It is not difficult for Li Zhao to think of it.
But it was different with the asphalt straight road. If the Xiongnu really dared to embarrass Yin Man, he would unload everything and lead the Linyuan people to attack them in one fell swoop.
Today, both of them were happy. The emperor even visited Afang Palace for the second time, accompanied Li Zhao to inspect the entire construction of Afang Palace, and explained a lot to Xiao He.
Finally, the group of people walked out again and went back to Shanglin Garden together. However, they were only halfway through when they saw Xiao Zhuang running towards them in a hurry.
"Master, it's bad, Heishui has been robbed."
