During the day, in order to verify whether it was the poisonous gas produced by burning liquid, a brave and talented yamen servant in the government conducted an experiment. As a result, after staying in the sealed room for half an hour, he developed difficulty breathing. , quickly opened the door and escaped, not daring to stay any longer. He didn't eat anything during the experiment.
The doctor came to see the revived Jian Shuyang and said, "Mr. Jian's body has not yet been cleared of the remaining poison. She needs to take a good rest and do not go out in the next few days."
Jian Shuyang leaned on the soft pillow and drank the medicine. It was so painful. The magical thing he finally found was poisonous. Not only was his efforts in vain, but he and Song Xingan were almost killed. It was really a big loss.
etc.
……
"Quickly, bring me a pen and paper." Jian Shuyang pulled the attendant's arm and waved his palms randomly, with a look of anxiety on his face.
The bucket of ink-colored liquid has been sent to the capital together with the memorials from himself and Song Xing'an. If the Queen or the adults from the Ministry of Industry also burned it, wouldn't they also be poisoned?
It's over now, even if you can't chase him back, you still have to stop him.
"Cough cough cough." Jian Shuyang coughed several times. His throat was dry and itchy and he couldn't stop it. He drank several glasses of water before he stopped.
He anxiously wrote the memorial and handed it to his servant, "Quick, send it out immediately. It's best to catch up with the letter delivered yesterday."
Song Xing'an was unconscious for three hours longer than Jian Shuyang. He woke up in the middle of the night, drank two bowls of porridge and a bowl of medicine before falling asleep again.
The next day, the two of them were lying on a large lounge chair, covered with blankets even though it was late summer.
"We are too impatient. If we had known that the stuff was poisonous, we should have found someone to test it before sending it to the capital."
The night before yesterday, they closed the door and didn't open the windows, which prevented the smell from dissipating and caused poisoning. After the discussion between the two just now, they felt that this thing can still be used, but how to use it? It needs to be studied well.
The barrel of crude oil was eventually sent to the Ministry of Industry, and it was Fei Yi who took over.
After he got some crude oil and lit it, he felt that the smell was too pungent, so he immediately put it out.
Thinking that the empress was well-informed, she sent the barrel of crude oil to Li Junche and explained in detail the source of the thing and the discoveries of Jian Shuyang and Song Xing'an.
Wen Jinhe, who was selecting a nun in Changle Palace, saw the eunuch carrying a bucket in. When he got closer, he smelled a familiar smell. It was the smell of gasoline that came out when the motorcycle's fuel tank cap was opened when refueling.
She walked forward and looked down at the contents of the barrel. Was it oil?
When Li Junche saw Wen Jinhe squatting down and staring at the things in the bucket, he reminded him: "Jinhe, don't touch it with your hands." The thing was dark and not only dirty, but also very difficult to wash.
Wen Jinhe raised his head with a smile on his face. He had a motorcycle in his space and a few barrels of gasoline, but he had never used it since he came here.
Unexpectedly, Jian Shuyang and Song Xing'an were able to discover crude oil in Nancheng. There was oil so close to the ground. It was a stroke of luck for Jian Shuyang.
Oil mostly appears in sandstones two thousand to one thousand meters underground. Although some are found several hundred meters underground, they are all in oil-rich places like the Middle East.
Now discovered in Nancheng, does this mean there is an oil field underground in Nancheng?
"Your Majesty, the Empress, the Ministry of Industry sent someone to deliver another memorial. It was written by Nancheng Economic Chief Jian Shuyang." The chamberlain gasped and knelt at the door. After reading the second memorial, Fei Yi immediately sent People rushed to the palace, but fortunately the queen did not burn.
Even if burning it for a short time will not affect the body, if the emperor knew that this stuff was poisonous and the queen smelled it, he would inevitably blame the Ministry of Industry and Nancheng for not doing things well.
Seeing the Queen approaching the door, the chamberlain handed the memorial to Wen Jinhe's hands.
Open and scan the full text. The burning of crude oil will produce toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Using crude oil as firewood to cook hot pot is a waste of money for two people.
On a hot day, the doors and windows were closed, and I could only survive because there was someone outside the door.
"The burning of this crude oil will produce a poisonous smell. The chief economic officer and the prefect of Nancheng were in trouble. Fortunately, their lives were saved." Wen Jinhe said and handed the memorial to Li Junche.
Their worries were unnecessary. Although Wen Jinhe had never seen crude oil, she had smelled diesel and gasoline.
Li Junche frowned when he heard that the crude oil was poisonous. After reading the memorial, he immediately said: "Carry the things outside the palace, don't let the queen see it."
Since the gas produced after burning is poisonous, even if it is not burned, it is definitely not a good thing.
He scolded: "What kind of bastard things are Song Xing'an and Jian Shuyang doing in Nancheng? If they don't think about governing the thirteen cities in the north all day long, digging for treasures everywhere and thinking about pie in the sky, how can any good thing come from that?"
Seeing Li Junche's anger, Wen Jinhe smiled and said, "Who doesn't want pie in the sky? The original coal mines were dug out of the ground, otherwise where would the anthracite come from?"
Moreover, oil is indeed a good thing, but with the current level of technological development, it cannot be used for the time being.
Most of the books in the space can't even be read by themselves, let alone the teachers at Capital College and Capital No. 1 Women's College. They all learned half-heartedly from reading books.
You must know that the knowledge in those books is a modern product summed up by thousands of years of scientific and technological development.
Now that I have ready-made books, I want to make Beidi Kingdom catch up with the 21st century. Let alone a few years, I am afraid that there will not be much results in decades.
For those unpopular courses in Capital College and Capital No. 1 Women's College, even the teachers now only talk about them on paper and have only half-understandings.
But Wen Jinhe decided to open these courses after careful consideration. Although they didn't understand them, they could at least arouse their interest and cultivate their sense of innovation.
If there is no one who understands, then learn and study together.
Human beings are intelligent creatures. As long as there are enough people, geniuses will always be found.
Song Xing'an and Jian Shuyang can discover some new natural resources in advance. Even if they are not used now, they can speed up the development of science and technology. At least they don't have to send people to find them.
Seeing Wen Jinhe's interest, Li Junche first pulled him into his arms, "Don't touch poisonous things. Too much curiosity can easily lead to accidents."
"Archer, curiosity is the beginning of progress. If there is no curiosity, no one will think deliberately. The existence of everything in this world has its meaning, and this one is no exception. Since it can be burned, it is of great use. I just haven’t thought about it yet.”
Even if Wen Jinhe told Li Junche that this was petroleum and could be separated into diesel, gasoline and other useful oil energy sources, Li Junche would not understand and would also reveal his identity.
She never planned to tell Li Junche that she was a modern person. It wasn't that she didn't trust her, but that she didn't feel the need to deliberately challenge the ideas of the ancients. She could just treat her as someone who knew more.
