Chapter 216 Petroleum Fractionation



When I got home, it was already dark.

Before reaching the production area, Chen Wangping saw Xiao Tiemu excitedly dragging groundworms to his roots with branches, and at the same time using a branch to help the giant guard robot wipe the stains off its mechanical arm, obviously treating the giant guard robot as a free fertilizer machine.

"Don't just focus on eating the earthworms, remember to add coal regularly."

Chen Wangping gave instructions and walked to the production area. He couldn't wait to take down the oil refinery and chemical plant one by one, and looked at the properties expectantly:

Oil Refinery

[Purpose: Refining petroleum into three different products by consuming electrical energy]

Power: 60kW

【Number of slots: 3】

【durable:】

[Currently selected product: Not selected]

【Feed port: no material pipeline】

【Discharge port 1 (2, 3): No material pipeline】

[Note: The refining drawings of the oil refinery will increase as the technology tree improves]

Chemical Plant

【Application: Converting various chemical raw materials into finished product resources】

Power: 30kW

【Number of slots: 3】

【durable:】

[Currently selected product: Not selected]

【Feed port 1 (2, 3, 4): No material pipeline】

【Discharge port 1 (2, 3, 4): No material pipeline】

[Note: The chemical plant will bring a qualitative leap to your territory]

After reading the properties, Chen Wangping felt a bit of a headache.

This thing consumes a lot of power.

One is 60 kilowatts and the other is 30 kilowatts. If you include the two robotic arms, the whole set will consume 100 kilowatts.

With the current power generation capacity of the power grid, it is not possible to produce many sets.

He reluctantly stopped several manufacturing machines and walked towards the back mountain, pulling electric poles as he walked to provide energy for the future oil industry.

"Looks like we need to hurry up and upgrade our energy system. The current small steam generators are a bit out of date. I hope to develop a higher-level generator."

When they reached the back mountain, Chen Wangping pulled out a light bulb for illumination and placed the oil refinery and chemical plant down towards the open space.

"boom"

The two big guys fell to the ground with a bang.

A closer look revealed the refinery to be a silver-gray structure, a massive structure composed of four or five large tanks of varying heights and countless pipes. The vertical chimney, strikingly pointed towards the sky, was a striking sight. The chemical plant was also silver-gray, with only two large tanks and even more pipes than the refinery, though its floor space was slightly smaller.

Chen Wangping walked to the operating table on the side of the oil refinery, took out ten barrels of finished oil, placed them on the feed pipe, and connected the power supply.

"Boom boom"

The oil refinery seemed to have been awakened. The sound of air being expelled from the pipes was heard, and a line of text appeared on the console:

【Please select the refining formula】

[Currently have refining formula: basic crude oil fractionation]

[Basic Crude Oil Fractionation: Converts 10 [Crude Oil] into 3 [Heavy Oil], 3 [Light Oil], and 4 [LPG] in 5 minutes.]

Chen Wangping glanced at the display screen and directly clicked on basic crude oil distillation.

Of course, it won’t work if it’s not direct. This is the only recipe that can be used now.

"Heavy oil, light oil, petroleum gas, there are so many products. Can't we just choose to produce petroleum gas?"

Chen Wangping was somewhat helpless. The only thing needed in the current drawings was liquefied petroleum gas. Plastic could be made using liquefied petroleum gas and coal. Moreover, liquefied petroleum gas could also be used to make sulfur and then sulfuric acid, which had a wide range of uses.

On the contrary, heavy oil and light oil cannot be used now and can only be stored temporarily.

Before he could even reach the chemical plant, another line of prompts appeared on the display:

[Please connect the pipeline or container at the heavy oil outlet]

[Please connect the pipe or container to the light oil outlet]

【Please connect the pipe at the LPG outlet】

After reading the prompt, Chen Wangping finally understood why there were three discharge ports.

He walked over and equipped the heavy oil and light oil outlets with respective storage tanks, and when it came to the LPG outlet, he directly connected it to the chemical plant's feed port with a pipe.

After clicking start again, the oil refinery started to run rumblingly, sucking in ten parts of finished oil and starting to distill it.

Chen Wangping walked to the chemical plant, connected the power cord, and clicked on the display to check:

【Please select chemical formula】

[Currently have chemical formulas: sulfur manufacturing, plastic manufacturing]

[Sulfur Manufacturing: Convert [LPG] x 20 and [Water] x 20 into [Sulfur] x 5 in ten minutes]

[Plastic Manufacturing: Convert [Coal] x 1 and [LPG] x 20 into [Plastic] x 1 in ten minutes.]

Chen Wangping glanced at the formula, first connected the robotic arm and conveyor at the discharge port, and then selected plastic manufacturing.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Five minutes had passed at this time, and four units of LPG were delivered from the oil refinery through the pipeline, but this was not enough. The chemical plant was still in standby mode and not working.

As Chen Wangping pulled the conveyor belt home, he calculated, "It takes twenty parts of LPG to make one part of plastic, which means one part of plastic can be produced every twenty-five minutes. This efficiency is acceptable. After a good night's sleep, I can build an integrated circuit board tomorrow to test the effectiveness of the energy-saving plug-in."

"Also, we need to improve technology as quickly as possible and utilize both heavy and light oils as soon as possible. These two types of oils have many uses and will definitely be indispensable if we want to build more powerful weapons in the future."

After returning home, Chen Wangping arranged for a giant guard robot to protect the two treasures, and then took out the summoning potion and began to practice.

After taking two jars of the god-summoning potion, Chen Wangping's divine pool suddenly had eight more wisps of mist, making it much fuller.

"Cuckoo"

Chen Wangping rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Just as he was thinking about what to eat, he suddenly remembered something.

After I advanced two days ago, my lightning energy exceeded 10,000 points. Now I can use the life awakening skill of the farmer title to awaken the mutated black rice!

He had already had enough of eating pancakes every day.

Rice is so fragrant, it won’t be delicious if mixed with braised pork.

Chen Wangping took out the mutant black rice seeds, aimed at the scars on the mutant black rice seeds, opened the farmer title, and clicked on the life awakening skill.

In an instant, he felt that more than 17,000 points of lightning energy were continuously flowing into the small mutant black rice seed in his hand.

At this time, the mutated black rice seeds were shining like small light bulbs, and their vitality was becoming more and more intense. The scars recovered quickly, and the size of the seeds was also increasing, from the original rice grain size to the size of red beans.

Seeing that the body had grown in size, Chen Wangping was very surprised. "Could it be possible to continue to grow after awakening?"

He immediately poured some water on the water turtle's shell, and at the same time reached out to touch the electric grid, fully supplying it to the mutant black rice seeds for absorption.

Suck the little seeds hard!

I look forward to your miracle!
