Chapter 355 Explosion
After making an appointment with the children, Jiang Tangtang and Cao Lesheng went to the oil processing workshop together.
The oil separator made by Cao Lesheng actually heats the oil and then uses the different boiling points of several substances in the oil to finally achieve the purpose of separating the substances.
This is the knowledge they learned from books and then created based on their imagination.
Although Jiang Tangtang traveled from the modern era to the past, she had never learned any knowledge in this area before, and she had never seen modern petroleum distillation equipment.
She was able to learn the theoretical knowledge and finally produce the oil separator, a three-no product, based on the description in the book, thanks to her parents' rich collection of books, which even allowed them to find such unpopular information.
But no one is sure whether it will be possible to successfully process oil and separate it into various substances.
However, Jiang Tangtang felt that this was a form of progress, especially Cao Lesheng, who was not only excellent in making weapons, but also took the initiative to delve into this area. He was a rare talent.
If there were more people like him who are passionate about research and bold enough to try new things, there would be no worries about the development of science and technology in the future.
As soon as they left the house, Jiang Tangtang immediately started to care about Cao Lesheng, "How is Mr. Cao doing lately?"
Faced with Jiang Tangtang's concern, Cao Lesheng was flattered and said repeatedly: "It's fine. Thanks to the medicine that Madam gave me, not only is my hand healed, but my body is also better than before."
"Have you gotten used to living in Taiwan? If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will help you solve them."
Jiang Tangtang treats such talents as preferentially as possible.
Cao Lesheng said sincerely: "Treasure Island is great."
Although he was known as a master of weapons in the capital, the environment in the armory was not good. There was serious intrigue among officials, and many people did not focus on research.
When it came to making weapons, everyone was afraid that others would steal their skills, so they kept it secret. The emperor also didn't pay enough attention to the armory.
But after coming to Lingnan, he saw a whole new world.
The people here will actively share various information and then discuss it together. Just for this reason, he will stay unconditionally.
In addition, Jiang Tangtang also attaches great importance to those who are engaged in weapons research.
In addition to arranging their lives properly so that they have no worries, they also provide full support in research.
He never thought there was a better place than this.
Jiang Tangtang nodded, thinking to himself that such talents were rare. In the future, the food and other things in the space could be used as special supplies to supply these talents.
The oil workshop was built not far from the oil mine, which took half a day's journey. Jiang Tangtang and Cao Lesheng did not make any special arrangements to summon Gugu and Lili as transportation. Instead, they took a horse-drawn carriage like Cao Lesheng and took the opportunity to see the changes on the island.
The official roads in Baodao are not only built very wide, but also paved with coarse sand and small stones.
It was just that it rained heavily for several days in a row, and all the coarse sand, pebbles and other materials on the road were washed away by the heavy rain.
At this moment, there were potholes on the road, and workers in charge of the road were urgently repairing it on both sides.
Jiang Tangtang watched as everyone laboriously re-paved the road with coarse sand and pebbles, but after a rain, all their efforts might be in vain.
I couldn't help but purse my lips and think about it.
It would be great if cement could be produced. With cement, whether it is building a house or paving a road, the efficiency will be greatly improved, and it will be more durable than a mixture of clay and lime.
Jiang Tangtang wrote down the matter about cement and decided to go to the bookstore in the evening to see if he could find any information on the subject.
At this time, Jiang Tangtang really missed mobile phones and the Internet!
In the past, I could just search on the web and get the answer immediately. It wasn’t as troublesome as it is now.
Soon, Jiang Tangtang's regret was diverted by the vast expanses of cacti outside.
Judging from the current weather conditions, the extreme drought that has plagued everyone for two years should have come to an end.
At that time, someone will inevitably pull out the large number of cacti planted and resume farming.
After all, when there is really no other way, people can use cactus as food to satisfy their hunger and as a source of water to quench their thirst.
But if there is water, the disadvantages of cactus will become apparent.
Cactus has many spines, making it difficult to eat, and it lacks the diversity of other vegetables...
But the farmers worked hard to grow so many cacti, and Jiang Tangtang felt that they should not be wasted.
The last time she was in the space, the pickles she made with cactus tasted pretty good.
We can let everyone learn, then try to make it and sell it. If the effect is good, we can set up a batch of processing plants on the island.
Moreover, the soil requirements for growing cacti are not that high. Transplanting cacti to other places that are not suitable for farming can not only provide islanders with extra income, but also keep these cacti and give people peace of mind to prevent extreme droughts in the future.
However, these are just her ideas. Whether they can be implemented or not will only be known after they are implemented.
The carriage traveled for more than two hours before finally arriving at the oil processing workshop.
Before entering the workshop, I saw a column of black smoke rising into the sky from afar, and there was a faint pungent smell in the air.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang stop and look at the black smoke, Cao Lesheng explained, "That's the black smoke emitted by the machines in the workshop."
Jiang Tangtang stopped not because she didn't know where the black smoke came from, but because she felt the pollution was too serious.
Such a beautiful island can be used as a tourist destination in modern times, but it is a pity that it was destroyed by such a huge black smoke.
But with current technology, she couldn't care less about whether it polluted the environment. Being able to separate the oil was already a good thing.
But she was still too optimistic.
Because before the two of them could walk in, there was a loud bang from inside.
The machine that Jiang Tangtang had been worried about exploding exploded before she even saw it.
Cao Lesheng's face was pale, his hands were shaking slightly, and he said with some shame: "Madam, I didn't do it well, I..."
He wanted Jiang Tangtang to come and see him and give him some advice, but he almost ended up getting his wife angry.
He was so nervous that even his words began to stutter. Jiang Tangtang, however, comforted him, saying, "It's normal to fail on your first research project. It's okay. We can continue researching later! Now, save people first."
Jiang Tangtang originally looked after the machines in the workshop, but ended up helping to save people.
She released Gugu from the space and let the golden eagle fly to the fire scene after the explosion to rescue people.
With the help of the golden eagle, the rescue difficulty was greatly reduced.
But even so, the explosion killed more than 20 people.
Xiao Yu, who had always been a source of worry for the people in the Office of the General Staff, was one of them.
After the news of Xiao Yu's death in the workshop explosion spread, the staff of the General Staff Office once again worshipped Jiang Tangtang in their hearts.
