ALL NOVEL Chapter 44: oil
Li Shiming saw that there was a village ahead, and it was still early. He canceled the blue light on his legs, slowed down, and returned to his normal state.
This is a village close to the Central Capital, but since it is mostly mountainous, it can be seen that the village is very poor, and the houses are all thatched adobe houses.
"Six son's family is really pitiful. Two acres of land have been destroyed by the magic water. How can his family live!" As soon as he entered the village, he heard some villagers talking.
"Who said no, let alone Liuzi's family, the fields of the neighboring families can't be guaranteed!" Another villager lamented.
Farmers live on their fields, and losing their farmland means losing their livelihoods.
"Old man, I don't know what this magic water is, can you take me there to see it?" Li Shiming's heart moved, and he bowed to the old man who was talking.
The old man looked up and saw Li Shiming who was wearing a Confucian shirt, he quickly bowed down and did not dare to speak.
A few villagers on the side also bowed their heads, showing their humility as much as possible.
At least those who can wear Confucian shirts are scholars. This kind of identity is not something that ordinary farmers can come into contact with on weekdays.
The closer you get to the central capital, the more peasants know how terrifying the powerful are.
Li Shiming's Confucian rituals frightened the old man. If he spoke with a downward attitude, it would make the old man more at ease.
Although Li Shiming has a fusion of memory and emotion, he still has the mentality of equality in his previous life.
"Old man, can you show me the magic water?" He asked repeatedly helplessly.
"Little old man can't afford it, my son wants to see the magic water, I will lead the way!" The old man only reacted at this time, bowed his body and replied helplessly.
The old man is not young, but his legs are very flexible, and he took Li Shiming to a farmland outside the village.
This farmland is a low-lying land, about ten mu or so, and the surrounding ground is full of large and small stones.
It can be seen that this farmland was cleaned up by the villagers from the gravel. The soil quality of the more than ten acres of farmland is very poor, and the production will not be good.
On the right side of the more than ten acres of farmland, there was a large area of thick black liquid gushing out from the ground in the middle of two acres of farmland.
Before he came to the black liquid, he smelled a strong smell.
"It's oil!" Li Shiming thought to himself.
When the villagers mentioned the magic water, he thought of this possibility.
Oil is not useless in this world. The raw material such as kerosene oil is oil, but kerosene oil is a secret at any time, let alone farmers, even most scholars do not know oil.
For the villagers, the land where oil appears will be polluted by oil, thus losing the ability to plant, which is like a natural disaster that destroys their lives.
But for Li Shiming, oil has a completely different meaning.
With oil, there are many things, such as diesel, gasoline and plastics.
Oil is known as the blood of the industry. With either diesel or gasoline, he can create a more efficient generator, and many of his ideas can go on.
"Old man, thank you for leading the way!" Li Shiming took a tael of silver and handed it over and thanked him.
After the old man took the silver with trembling hands, he turned and left the village.
He didn't need to come forward to buy this place. When he got home, he instructed Manager Zhang to handle the matter.
The owner of the more than ten acres of farmland heard that someone wanted to buy it, but he did not object at all, but thanked Dade for his agreement.
Of course, Li Shiming's price was very high, which was enough for them to buy the same amount of fertile land.
A day later, the first two barrels of oil were delivered to a residence outside the city, also purchased for storage.
The extraction of oil in the computer room space cannot form a scale, but the advantage is that under the micro-manipulation of consciousness, with the most primitive equipment, several basic substances can be extracted.
The quality of the oil produced in that village is good, with 40% of diesel oil and 20% of gasoline produced.
In the days after Li Shiming, every day was very busy.
Every day, most of the spiritual power is used for spellcasting practice, in order to speed up the spellcasting speed.
Because among the basic conditions for making talismans, the more skilled you are, the faster you are, and the more helpful it is to make talismans.
Refining oil is very polluting. He has to go to the dwellings outside the city for refining every day. In the process of refining oil, he constantly discharges toxic waste gas out of the computer room space, so as not to affect the growth of spiritual rice and unknown spiritual plants.
In addition, he also needs to pay attention to the growth of Unknown Lingzhi. I don't know if he is lucky, or whether Unknown Lingzhi should not die. Under the nourishment of the "Spring Breeze and Rain" every day, Unknown Lingzhi's spiritual roots and grafting techniques have survived.
In the future, we will see when the spores on the branches of Lingzhi can grow. Only with leaves can Lingzhi truly have the basis for survival.
Manager Zhang didn't know what the young master wanted for the black, foul-smelling black water. He obeyed the order and ordered a truckload of people to transport the black water to the dwellings outside the city every day.
He was also impatient. It didn't take long for the spring season next year, but the young master didn't seem to pay much attention to the spring season.
As a servant, he couldn't persuade him, he just hoped that the young master could wake up in time.
Li Shiming, who was worried by Manager Zhang, was decommissioning the original steam engine.
A brand new diesel generator replaces the steam engine and the original generator~www.readwn.com~ The power generation is larger and more stable.
Part of the diesel oil extracted from petroleum is stored in two empty storage bags and placed in the engine room space, so as to save the engine room space as much as possible.
Don't look at the space in the storage bag is only one cube, but it only takes up a small amount of inconspicuous space in the computer room.
Most of his current computer room space is occupied by Lingdaomi. With IBMz15, uninterruptible power supply, diesel generator, electric arc furnace, and unknown Lingzhi cultivation space, there is not much space left.
More diesel oil was put underground by him in the residences outside the city as a reserve resource.
Even if the oil in the fields is extracted now, there is no need to worry about the diesel consumption next year.
I believe that after arriving at the sect, he can find a way to use the spirit stone to convert it into electricity. This is actually mentioned in the "Introduction to Runes", but with a simple description, he can't create a spirit stone generator.
Li Shiming had a lot of gold and silver in his hands, and Mo Yan was not idle during this time.
Since he was going to enter the sect in the future, gold and silver would be useless, so he used the gold and silver to let Mo Yan buy a large amount of various ores.
Ores without spiritual energy have not received due attention in this world. Many ores that are extremely rare in Li Shiming's view are regarded as ores with impurities in this world.
Perhaps the existence of the immortal civilization has suppressed the civilization of this world. The most important thing in this world is still gold and silver, which can be used as currency.
Once all kinds of ores arrived in Li Shiming's hands, they were processed in an electric arc furnace, smelted and decomposed into various metals.
Day by day, he accumulated more and more resources.
