Volume 40 Chapter 48 Candle Oil
"Could it be that everything here is made from corn stalks?"
"Not bad!"
……
"How efficiently does corn stover produce these things?"
"On average, for every four tons of corn stalks, one ton of energy-burning alcohol can be produced, and at the same time, more than two tons of special plant fiber pulp can be obtained, and more than 900 kilograms of organic fertilizer can be obtained."
……
"Can you drink these fuel-burning alcohols?"
……
"How effective are the organic fertilizers we just saw compared to ordinary fertilizers?"
……
"What are these special plant fiber pulps used for? Is this the only way to make these briquettes? ”
……
Ever since he came to this alcohol production base and saw that this alcohol base was really as Zhang Tie said, everything here was produced from corn stalks that were completely incinerated as garbage, Tang De's eyes had been shining, and the light was like countless gold coins flashing in front of his eyes.
Among all of them, Tang De has the most questions, and Tang De's questions also ask the doubts in the hearts of others. And after Li Tao got Zhang Tie's instructions, he also generously told everyone what was here.
"The alcohol here is different from the alcohol made from grain, so you can't drink it, and even after mixing it with water, it has a special spicy and numb flavor in it, and it's easy to distinguish ......."
Hearing Li Tao's words, everyone personally tasted the taste of 80 percent of the burning alcohol mixed with water on the production line.
The taste is similar to wine, but it is by no means wine, it is much more pungent than wine, and the color after mixing with water is not colorless, but can distinguish some faint yellow. As soon as you drink it in your mouth, the taste buds on your tongue experience a numb taste, which has a very bad taste and can't fool people.
"It's a pity?" After tasting it, Tang De said with some regret.
"It's a pity, what's a pity!" Zhang Tie also smiled. "It is very fortunate to be able to make combustion alcohol from corn stalks, this alcohol has a high burning value, and at the cost, it loses its drinking value, it is many times more toxic to the human liver than ordinary alcohol, and as long as you drink a glass, it may cause liver poisoning, which is also a natural balance. You can't produce something that can be used by machines and eaten by people, then it's really against the sky, and it's not a natural way to balance! ”
Hearing Zhang Tie say this, everyone nodded and felt reasonable.
"As for the effect of those organic fertilizers, I haven't seen anything too special yet. Because after a month of commissioning and trial operation, the first batch of energy-burning alcohol was produced in December. In the winter in the north, in December, the land can not be heavy, and the organic fertilizer is also distributed free of charge to some farmers who send corn stalks here, and the effect of the fertilizer will not be seen until a few months later when the grain is planted in the field! ”
Speaking of this, Li Tao glanced at the look on Zhang Tie's face again, and said carefully, "As for the use of these special plant fiber pulps. Until now, this alcohol base has been mixed with cinder according to the will of the suzerain, and these fuels are very easy to burn, and even used by the alcohol production base to heat boilers and drive various steam equipment, its heat is very high, it seems to be about ten percent higher than ordinary coal. Moreover, the soot dust burned up should be much smaller than ordinary coal and honeycomb coal, which is particularly clean and convenient to use at home, and through more than a month of trial production, we also found an interesting thing! ”
"What's the matter?"
"Come with me, let's see." Li Tao directly led everyone to the production workshop on the other side.
On the other side, the production workshop is also a place where the fiber slurry and cinder are mixed to produce things, but unlike the briquettes and briquettes that you just saw, the machines and production lines in this production workshop are a little different from the workshop next to them, and there are two more pot camel crushers on the production line here, and there is a production line that looks like producing bricks.
The coarse cinder in the workshop next to it will be further crushed here and turned into finer cinder coal sand, which will be mixed and mixed with those plant fiber slurries, and then directly come to the brick-like production line and directly compressed into pieces of black and gray square bricks.
In this workshop, a large number of square bricks have been neatly stacked.
"We found that these plant fiber pulp in the crushed cinder coal sand mix, actually has a very strong plasticity, so we slightly changed the process, make those cinders more fine, the proportion of mixing is lower, at first I just want to make the fuel it produces better stacking, so I made it into a square shape, and then I found that these square fuels are not only very convenient to stack, but also if the fire resistance requirements are not high, you can also use these slurry briquettes to make building materials... …”
The so-called fire resistance is also relatively speaking, these things that can be used as fuel produced by the alcohol base can naturally be burned when thrown into the boiler and stove, but generally if it is piled up like this, unless someone deliberately uses something else to set it on fire, it is similar to a pile of coal, and it is not so easy to burn.
"Not to mention alcohol, just these briquettes are very useful in the army!" Bai Zhengnan said categorically, His Royal Highness the Prince of the dignified Guangnan Palace, at this time, did not dislike the black and dirty briquettes on the ground, and personally bent down and picked up a dried briquette, weighed it in his hand, and tried the weight and hardness of the briquette, "The airship troops, armored units and transport convoys in the legions under my command all use steam-powered equipment. The logistical supply force of the corps must carry a large amount of coal as a fuel reserve for these troops, especially in places where there is no coal supply, these fuels are carried more, if there is no fuel, those armored vehicles, transports and airships have the possibility of lying on their stomachs, and ordinary coal is scattered. It is very troublesome to transport, load and unload, and it is indeed not as convenient as this kind of compressed slurry briquette, if the fuel of these troops can be replaced with this standard pulp briquette, the pressure on the logistics troops will be much less! ”
"Moreover, these things can not only be used as fuel, if in the wild. In some emergency situations, you can also use these things to quickly build temporary fortifications, which is better than digging and loading sandbags temporarily......" Feng Cangwu also picked up a slurry coal brick that felt between bricks and wood, squinted his eyes and looked at it seriously, "Since this thing has a very strong plasticity, and it is no worse than coal, if it is for the supply of troops, it can be made a little more special, and directly change the mold on the production line." When pressed out, they form standard mortise and tenon pieces similar to those found in carpentry structures, which are easy to assemble and can be easily and quickly accumulated into quick fortifications or small forts, just like small forts and fortification parts......"
Tang De's eyes widened suddenly, "Is this okay?" ”
"It's definitely not good to deal with high-level force, and it's not good to use this to build long-term fortifications and fortresses, but if you just use it at a special time, to deal with demon warriors at level nine and below. That's enough! "I don't know when, Zhang Su also took a slurry coal brick in his hand." Field fortifications and civil engineering are powerful means for the Terrans to deal with the demons, and this thing is used as fuel for the troops, and if you occasionally make a quick cameo appearance when you need to quickly build fortification materials, you can definitely do it! ”
Bai Zhengnan, Feng Cangwu and Zhang Su are all people who have experienced battles, the words of three people. All hit the nail on the head. This kind of thing that is easy to carry, has a burning effect that is not inferior to coal, and at the same time has a strong plasticity, is indeed very useful in the legion. Some of the wood can be processed to achieve the same effect. But in the entire Taixia, it is estimated that no legion will be extravagant to such a degree, otherwise a battle will be enough to bankrupt such a legion.
For Zhang Tie, this was a surprise, before coming here, he knew that these things could be burned, but he didn't expect that the leftovers of Xie's brewing alcohol could be developed for such a purpose.
"I think those fiber slurries seem to be used to make paper!" Lu Zhongming also spoke, "I have been to several paper mills in Guzhou before, and I think these fiber slurries are very similar to those pulps in paper mills, and they are more delicate, I think we can try this aspect, and the papermaking process is not too complicated......
Of course this thing can make paper! This is what Zhang Tie has known for a long time, but at this time, he also came to the alcohol production base for the first time, in front of a bunch of knights, Zhang Tie has no need to act like a prophet who knows everything, since someone has already thought of it, Zhang Tie can be as good as a stream.
"Brother Lu is right!" Zhang Tie nodded, and then said to Li Tao, "Wait a few days, you find someone to try it, see how the paper made by these slurries is, if it is feasible, these slurries can be separated into some to make paper in the future." After saying this, Zhang Tie pointed at Tang De again, "His name is Tang De, he is my manager, and in the future, the two of you will discuss the operation and financial affairs of the alcohol base, and what he means is what I mean!" ”
"Yes!" Li Tao nodded yes, then politely waved Tang Dechang and said politely, "In the future, I will ask Manager Tang for more advice!" ”
"Where, where, let's learn from each other and teach each other!" Tang De, this guy was already a little excited at this time, his eyes were shining, his chest was heaving, and he counted with his fingers, "Burning alcohol is money, organic fertilizer is money, coal bricks and briquettes are money, paper is money, and straw is garbage, this ...... This base is simply a mint factory that turns waste into treasure, there are too few bases, and the more bases like this, the better......"
"I don't know what Brother Bai and Brother Lu think of this business, can they enter the eyes of the two brothers!" Zhang Tie said to Bai Zhengnan and Lu Zhongming.
"That's what you told us about business?" Bai Zhengnan looked at Zhang Tie seriously and asked, and Lu Zhongming and his wife also looked at each other.
"Of course it's this, if the two of you are willing, in the future, the business of the Southern Xinjiang and the Central and Northern Governor's Mansion will be handed over to the two elder brothers to do, and we will share the profits equally!"
"If your business is spread out in southern Xinjiang, how much money can you make in a year, and how much impact will it have, this is your unique business, and you are so generous to take it out?"
"If you have money, everyone earns it, I earn it alone, no matter how much money you have, it's not interesting!" Zhang Tie smiled unmindfully, his magnanimity was moving, "Tianjimen is also on my thief ship, and the elders of the Guan family will come in a few days, so the two elder brothers don't have to be polite to me......"
"Which Guanjia?"
"Mingwutang Guan family!"
"Airplanes are also produced here?"
"The aircraft and engine factory is in Xuantian City!"
"Okay, let's go to Xuantian City and have a look, I want to see how many good things you still have in your possession!"
"Okay, then go to Xuantian City and have a look!" After saying this, Zhang Tie said to Li Tao, "You also come, go to Xuantian City to see what the use of this alcohol you produce here, and you will have a ......bottom in your heart in the future."
"The name of this burning alcohol is too long, and it is not domineering and intuitive enough, and the word alcohol will also make people misunderstand, thinking that it can be eaten or cheap, thinking that it can be eaten will make it easy to hurt people, and we feel that the price is cheap We are not easy to bring up its sales price, and if we want to sell it to the outside world in the future, we also need to give a louder and easier name to remember." Don De has a very keen business talent, and he just frowned and thought for a while, and then came up with a useful opinion.
"Before the cataclysm, what fuel energy such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel, the names are very simple and catchy, since the burning energy alcohol appeared in the candle dragon collar, I don't want to use the name alcohol, so I will simply call it candle oil in the future!" Zhang Tie didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth and gave a name to Burning Energy Alcohol.
"Candle dragon collar, candle oil, this name is good, easy to remember, catchy!" Tang De immediately said approvingly, and the others read the name twice, and nodded one by one.
"I also think the candle oil main pipe sounds a little more stylish than the alcohol main pipe!" Li Tao also nodded and said, "This alcohol base can also be renamed Candle Oil Refining Base in the future!" ”
……
After taking Li Tao with him, the flying boat that landed in the alcohol base flew up again and flew towards Xuantian City.
Zhang Tie took people here to take a look, and Burning Energy Alcohol also has a new name - candle oil!
The speed of the flying boat was very fast, just an hour or so, and it flew from the junction of Candle Dragon Leader and Yanzhou to Xuantian City, where I saw a factory with an annual output of 100,000 sets of dual-wheel drive engines and the first aircraft factory in Taixia......
