After assembling it, Chu Ze asked someone to bring water and put it into the still.
This still is two people tall and is bigger than the largest water tank. With several shelves placed on the ground and a large jar placed on top, it looks like a Big Mac.
The waiter carried the bucket and stepped on the ladder, adding water one bucket at a time.
When the addition was almost completed, Chu Ze said: "Okay."
"Make a fire!"
With a roar, blazing flames burst out from the bottom of the jar.
As the tongues of fire suffocated, Zhu Yuanzhang and others gathered around with faces full of curiosity.
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze passed over the jar and then over the tubes protruding from the upper part of the jar.
These tubes are as thick as an adult's arm.
Once the upper lid is closed, nothing can be seen inside.
"Is this the still you are talking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched it.
On the huge steel jar, a slight chill came from the fingertips.
It's hard to imagine that such a thing can produce gasoline.
Incredible.
Chu Ze said: "Yes, this is the distiller."
"Can this really refine gasoline?" Queen Ma looked at the big jar, still a little in disbelief.
When Zhu Yuanzhang told her, she was curious.
Today I heard that Chu Ze was going to test the still, so I came here to have a look.
I didn't expect it to be such a big jar.
Is this jar really useful?
Chu Ze smiled slightly and replied: "Can we still fool our adoptive mother?"
"Everyone, please take a look."
Chu Ze pointed to the big jar next to him and said: "The principle used by this distiller is to use the difference in volatility of each component in the liquid mixture to partially vaporize the liquid mixture and subsequently condense the vapor, thereby achieving its purpose. Separation of the Components Contained.”
"Wait, wait, wait, this is nothing."
Zhu Yuanzhang just heard the first sentence, and his head suddenly became big.
He quickly interrupted Chu Ze's words, waved his hand and said: "Just tell us how this thing can produce gasoline or something, and there is no need to talk about other nonsense."
"Yes, we want to know too."
"Chu Ze, tell me quickly."
Chu Zexin said, you guys really can’t hold your breath.
But he still honestly followed Zhu Yuanzhang's request and started explaining again.
"Petroleum contains a variety of substances, and each substance has a different volatility. For example, gasoline has a volatility of around 200, and diesel has a volatility of around 400. In addition, crude oil also contains asphalt, which can even Lubricant is distilled.”
But for diesel and lubricating oil, Chu Ze remembered what needed to be added.
The specifics of what Chu Ze is has been revealed.
Anyway, get it out first. If you remember it one day, can you use it?
"After the oil is delivered, we can pour the oil into this still and continue to heat it below." He has already tried it. It can be done by keeping the temperature near a certain fixed temperature. " After refueling, the volatiles will rise with the heat and eventually start to condense in this area and then fall down these tubes."
While talking, the water in the still was boiling, and after the steam condensed, it fell down the tube.
Tick.
An almost inaudible sound was like thunder in everyone's ears, shocking everyone back to their senses.
They subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a drop of almost invisible liquid lying quietly in the porcelain bowl that was empty just now.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the drop of water without blinking.
It's like looking at gasoline.
"Is it done?" Someone asked in a low voice, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.
Then, all the eyes in the palace looked at Chu Ze.
Chu Ze looked at the pipe that was slowly dripping distilled water, and replied with a sigh of relief: "For now...it's done. But the specific situation will not be known until the oil is delivered and it is distilled with oil. Will it work?" Even if it doesn't work, the problem will only appear in the materials and assembly of the still.
Chu Ze has no doubt about this theory.
But others simply ignored the large paragraph that followed Chu Ze.
In their minds, Chu Ze's words "It's done" kept echoing.
"It's done."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows quickly lit up with joy: "It's done, hahahaha!"
"Okay, okay, great! Chu Ze, you have made a great contribution this time. You are the hero of our Ming Dynasty! Don't worry, we will never forget your contribution. By the way, didn't you say something like this before? What's the cause of the fire... Biao'er, tell me." Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he forgot his name.
Zhu Biao stepped forward at the right time and said: "Flame thrower."
"Yes, yes, that's the thing." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately answered, "Stop being so impatient, take it out quickly and let us have a look."
When the flamethrower was mentioned, the person who was just happy a moment ago suddenly became excited.
The still was good, but Zhu Yuanzhang was more interested in the flamethrower.
Zhu Biao told him before that Chu Ze said that thing was extremely lethal.
If it can be used on the battlefield, their Ming Dynasty's combat power will definitely increase several times.
By then, he will be the Ming Dynasty, and he will really be able to dominate the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang became a little excited when he thought of this.
Chu Ze knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in this and had prepared things early.
only……
Forget it, let’s demonstrate it first.
Chu Ze walked aside and took out some strange things again.
After some fiddling, the main body of a flamethrower appeared.
It looks a lot like the modern bucket used to spray pesticides.
Maybe it was inspired by the flamethrower.
Chu Ze's thoughts dispersed for a while. He filled the bucket with water and carried it on his back.
The left hand is a hand pump, and the right hand is something like a water pipe.
Chuze explained while demonstrating: "This is a flamethrower. When using it, you put a bucket on your back, fill it with gasoline, and squeeze the gasoline into the throat through this hand pump and spray it out."
As Chu Ze moved, the water in the main body was sprayed out.
However, the hand pump was obviously not very flexible, and the water column was intermittent, and in the end it even stopped working.
Chu Ze struggled for a while, and then the water column appeared again.
Xu Da suddenly said: "Then how to light this fire?"
"This now has to be ignited manually."
If it's modern, just install an ignition signal tube mother near the nozzle.
But not now.
There is no such technology.
So it can only be done manually.
"Then if the fire ignites the gasoline in the barrel, won't we burn ourselves?"
Chu Ze thought of these questions.
He said: "Don't worry, there is something to prevent backfire inside. As long as it is used properly, the situation you mentioned will not happen."
While talking, the hand pump that was just not very flexible just now was completely finished, and the water in the bucket flowed out along with the hand pump.
