Master of Thermodynamics

Chapter 127: Motive and black oil

Renault's "kung fu" of smashing mud pillars with his palm is really cool!

Little stars flashed in the girl's eyes.

Lena's eyes widened and her face was full of amazement. Master Renault's tricks were really getting better and better.

The whole body of this seashell is gray and white, the two shells are quite thick, the center is raised, and the surface has dense corrugated furrows, which are very evenly distributed.

Sansha rushed over, opened the dog's mouth, bit the shell, and threw it into the barrel.

The girl looked at the seashell and asked, "What kind of shell is this?"

Renault replied immediately: "Hundred-thread milk cockles."

Obviously, the word "hundred lines" is derived from the number of lines on the shell.

The girl asked, "Is there really 100 lines?"

Renault smiled and said, "You can count."

The girl stretched out her hands to take out the seashells from the barrel, and counted them with Lena.

The sea shell is quite big, and the girl needs her hands to hold it firmly. The shell meat inside is less than 1 kilogram.

While the two girls were counting and chanting, the math dog Sansha also brought the furry dog's head closer, and the dog's eyes were staring at the shell.

Obviously, the three fools who are particularly curious are also counting.

"There are 54 lines on one shell, and the two pieces add up to 108, which is really more than one hundred..." the girl exclaimed.

Reynolds smiled triumphantly and began to talk endlessly: "The shellfish of the Baixian milk cockles is not very good, but it is especially suitable for stewing soup. When it is used to stew the soup, the soup is milky white and very delicious, so the fishermen Call it'milk cockles'..."

As an old glutton, after arriving in the Haichao Islands, this guy did not eat too much every day. Naturally, he also tasted Baixian milk cockle soup. The taste impressed him quite deeply.

After the introduction, everyone started digging again. Of course, Renault used his eyes to dig, and others were responsible for digging.

With the cooperation of Renault and Sansha, the speed of digging was surprisingly fast. As long as Sansha found the trace of the shell, Renault glanced at it at will, and dug out the shells hidden deep in the ground.

Everyone also saw how fertile this ocean really is. There are so many weird shells. Renault dug up nearly 80 conch shells in one go, not many shells of the same species.

In just ten minutes, Sansha and Lena have carried the wooden barrels to the beach many times, because the shells are too big to hold a few.

When the shells on the shore piled up, Renault had to end this short rush to the sea. The sailing boat had a limited load and continued to dig. The shells that were dug out could not be taken away.

At this time, the magic bulldozer has cleared a large area, and most of the thick sand has been pushed away, leaving only a shallow layer with a thickness of less than one meter. The sand drilling machine is now on its turn.

It can drill sand, and black ice is naturally no problem.

After the thick steel pipe of the sand drilling machine touched the black ice layer, there was a continuous "click" sound, and the steel pipe was slightly shaking, like a diamond head.

However, there is no problem with drilling, but the penetration speed is slightly slower. Obviously, the hardness of black ice is not high.

After the steel pipe is drilled to the bottom, it will automatically switch the direction of rotation. Under the control of the rune group [Rotation], the steel pipe will completely withdraw from the black ice layer after a few seconds.

After the black ice was taken out, several team members raised wooden hammers and slammed them on the huge cylindrical ice block. In the "banging" explosion, the ice block was broken into small pieces and then loaded into the next one. Inside a huge wooden frame.

After the wooden frame was full, one of the team members hung a hook to the wooden frame and shouted at another team member on the beach: "You can activate the magic motive!"

The so-called magic motive is essentially not much different from the sand drilling machine. They are all magic machines with rune group [rotation] as the core.

It's just that the Motive is a stereotyped product, that is to say, it will be mass-produced in the future, unlike the sand drilling machine, which is just a customized product.

This is what Renault insists on, not mass production, what is industrialization?

According to Renault's prediction, within the next year, wherever magic motives can be used in the territory, manpower is not allowed to be used.

The team member stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the surface of a metal machine that looked like an electric motor.

Compared with sand drills and bulldozers, the magic motive is small and exquisite, with a cylindrical shape, less than half a meter in diameter, and close to 1 meter in length. The black shell is cast and the surface is quite rough, and traces of polishing can be seen. Casting can be seen The quality is not high.

A silver-white rune disc is inlaid on the top of the shell, and a square cast iron base is underneath. One end of the shell is closed, and a bright metal shaft extends from the other end. At this time, the rope is connected to the shaft.

In this magic motive, only the key components such as the metal shaft and the bearing, which require extremely high craftsmanship, are manufactured by Renault, and the other components are all products of the Rune Research Institute.

Among them, the most technical component is the bearing.

Thanks to [Nian Dynamics]'s super manufacturing capabilities, the bearing accuracy is incredible. Various roundness errors and runout errors are less than 1 micron. In addition to the material not as good as the earth, the accuracy is lower than the highest precision level P2 on the earth. high.

This small bearing alone is enough for another world to catch up for 100 years.

This is Renault's strategy. He provides core components and high-tech guidance. Subordinates are responsible for the specific manufacturing process.

The purpose of this is also to cultivate talents. The categories of modern industry are so complicated that Renault alone can't finish it.

This way, he can also enjoy life by the way. After all, he came to another world, not really for the benefit of the other world.

Had it not been for the great enemy of the Black Orc, this sibling would have long thought of a way to make money to buy a manor, riding on the people of other worlds as a prestige.

After activating the rune, the magic motive rotates, and the long rope instantly collapses tightly. As the rotating shaft continues to rotate, the rope is retracted inch by inch, pulling the wooden frame to move toward the beach.

Just over 1 minute later, the wooden frame weighing more than 2 tons was dragged onto the beach. Only one person was required to manipulate the magic motive, and the other two held the wooden frame, which was incredibly easy.

If you change your strength, the three players will not be able to finish it in 10 minutes, and you will be tired and half dead.

Reynolds leaned in front of the wooden frame and used [Nian Power] to hold up a piece of black ice the size of his head, and carefully observed it.

Black ice is not pure black, but black gray, with uneven color, mixed with many debris, sand and broken shells.

But it is indeed a kind of ice, or water-containing crystals. The surface presents the special texture of ice cubes, and the smell is also strange. In addition to the smell of sea, it also exudes a faint smell.

Black ice is quite magical and can exist stably under normal temperature and pressure. This is different from the combustible ice in the deep sea on the earth, which can only exist in an environment of low temperature and high pressure.

Renault's mind moved slightly, and the rune array of [Reverse Heat Conduction] flickered. The high temperature instantly surrounded the black ice, and the stable crystal structure was destroyed by the high temperature. After the water was evaporated, a black and shiny liquid appeared.

The smell has become a little stronger, but it is not difficult to bear.

Maybe it can be called black oil.

Renault's eyes flashed, and a blazing flame rose.

Sure enough, black oil can burn!

It is obviously a hydrocarbon!

The fuel problem is solved!

But black oil has too many impurities and contains many components like petroleum, so the next step is to try to separate the compounds in the black ice through distillation to obtain a relatively pure fuel.

MMP, is this to...light up the technology tree of the petroleum industry? Renault thought to himself.

When the rising tide flooded the shoal again, the 10 large wooden barrels that were made temporarily were also filled with black oil.

At this point, the trial of black ice mining was successfully completed, and everyone began to prepare to return to the voyage.

The subsequent black oil distillation test will be taken over by the Industry Department of the Executive Office.

However, it will be a long affair from building and improving the distillation tower, to testing the distillation process, gradual adjustments, and finally determining the process flow. Renault does not intend to intervene.

The method has been told to you. If you let Lord Lord do everything, what is the use of your trash?

Besides, Lord Lord, as the lord of the islands, has everything to do with everything, how can there be so much time squatting in front of the stove all day?
