Zhu Changyang entered the workshop and turned on the control panel. Sure enough, he saw that the equipment related to crude oil refining had been lit up.
After a period of exploration, he roughly summarized the rules for activating workshop functions.
Generally, after he manufactures a certain product or obtains some core raw materials, the corresponding equipment will be activated and automatically upgraded.
For example, after he invented the phonograph, all production lines related to recording and broadcasting were opened, and after obtaining hard magnetic materials, more advanced electromagnetic recording equipment was automatically upgraded.
Oil is called black gold in modern times. It is the blood that drives global industrialization and is undoubtedly an extremely important raw material.
So as soon as Zhu Changyang obtained oil, the refining equipment was activated.
Zhu Changyang started the equipment and began to refine the raw materials.
The equipment in the workshop is very advanced. In addition to conventional thermal distillation equipment, there is also catalytic cracking equipment that can decompose medium oil and heavy oil.
The first step is crude oil pretreatment to remove water and salt from the crude oil.
Then, atmospheric distillation is carried out in a tower device to separate the crude oil into major fractions according to different boiling points, including gasoline, kerosene, light naphtha, etc.
The liquid flowing out of the atmospheric pressure device will flow into the hydrotreater, and after a series of catalytic cracking, the distillate will be desulfurized, treated and mixed to obtain residual oil, lubricating oil, grease and wax.
These are basically all processed automatically. Zhu Changyang checked the condition of the equipment and after making sure it was operating well, he started to do another thing.
Now that we have the most important fuel, the corresponding machines must naturally follow.
He thought carefully about the prototype structure in his mind, then called up the panel and began to draw the blueprint with great concentration.
As time passed, Zhu Changyang gradually entered a state of complete selflessness.
Finally, the drawing was completed. He reviewed it carefully to make sure there were no omissions before clicking to upload it to the system.
The system receives the signal and the acceptance progress bar is displayed in the background.
30%… 49%… 87%… 99%…
Finally, the number jumped to 100%!
Once the review is passed, the corresponding manufacturing molds and equipment will be activated and can be officially put into use.
Zhu Changyang let out a long breath and immediately pressed the start button to start production. At the same time, he found another partition displayed in the system: [Library]
What's this
Zhu Changyang clicked on it doubtfully, and his spirits suddenly lifted, "!!!"
This [Library] section is filled with a variety of reference materials, as well as some ready-made equipment drawings for reference.
This greatly solved his urgent problem.
Although Zhu Changyang had learned science and engineering knowledge well, he was young after all and had limited practical experience. Since he traveled through time, he had only been able to make some small tools, but more advanced equipment with overly complicated processes, especially large equipment, were far beyond his ability.
The function of this [Library] undoubtedly makes up for his shortcomings in this area. It is CNKI for undergraduates!
Zhu Changyang was extremely excited and started working attentively again. He did not stretch himself until he had uploaded the drawing again. He glanced at the time and was startled:!
Before I knew it, a day and a night had passed and it was almost dawn.
He is not afraid of staying up late. As everyone knows, staying up late is to cultivate immortality, and cultivating immortality means staying up late.
Since entering the Jindan stage, he has become the undisputed number one on the assembly line, happily working in the workshop until the early hours every night.
With his current excellent physical strength and perfect work and rest schedule, if he returns to the modern era, he will definitely be able to become a senior executive in Foxconn.
He just suddenly thought of Jun Shu. Jun Shu said during the day that he wanted to stay in the same room with him. Now a whole night has passed, why hasn't he heard any voice from Jun Shu
Zhu Changyang hurried out of the workshop. It was already light outside, the room was empty, and Jun Shu was nowhere to be seen.
Is this a night without coming back
Could he be lost? Ordinarily, Jun Ge didn't go out much, but his sense of direction was fine. He also had a cat with him, so even if he got lost, the developer would be able to find the way.
Zhu Changyang muttered to himself as he pushed open the door and paused: "... ?"
Jun Shu was sitting at the door.
This guy got a small stool from somewhere, bent his long legs, supported his chin with one hand on his knee, and held a small dried fish in the other hand, and was lazily teasing the black cat.
Hearing the door open, Jun Shu raised his head and asked dully, "Are you done?"
Zhu Changyang was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you go into the room when you come back?"
"I knocked on the door, but you didn't answer." Jun Shu replied, "I think you are refining something, so just wait outside for a while."
After a pause, he added, "It doesn't matter if I wait for you."
He said it casually, but Zhu Changyang couldn't help laughing and said, "Now that you're done, do you want to take a nap?"
Jun Shu looked at him and asked, "Do you want to sleep?"
Zhu Changyang glanced at the sky and shook his head: "I won't sleep anymore. I guess I still have a lot to do today."
Jun Shu wrinkled his nose and muttered, "Then I won't sleep either."
There was some obvious displeasure in his tone.
Zhu Changyang understood this very well. After all, squatting outside the door for a whole night was quite a challenge to Jun Ge's temper. So he came over, sat cross-legged next to Jun Shu, and said, "Then let's relax together."
Jun Shu's displeasure immediately eased a little, and he squinted at him: "How do you relax?"
Zhu Changyang smiled, took out a small metal stick from his pocket and pressed a button. A thin ray of light instantly shot out from the end of the metal stick, shining on the pillar opposite to form a small red dot.
Before Jun Shu could react, the developer at his feet meowed and jumped over, covering the light spot with one claw.
But the light spot obviously cannot be covered up.
Zhu Changyang then turned the laser pen tip, and the light spot moved back and forth on the ground. The black cat then meowed and started chasing it wildly on the ground.
Jun Shu's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand: "Very good, let me play with it."
Studio:
[Ah, it turns out that cats in the world of cultivation can also be fooled by laser pens! ]
[Are you all right? Are you still paying attention to the cat at this time? ? Look at Changyang and Junshu, what a harmonious and sweet scene! This is a family of three! Right, right! ]
[I have to say, Jun-ge has become much more sensible than when we first met. He actually waited for me outside the door for a whole night. I was so touched! ]
[Queshi, you can open another room, Jun-ge, do you love me so much? ]
After they played with the cat for a while, Hai Qingshan came over and said that the map had been drawn and invited them to go and examine it together.
Jun Shu had to reluctantly put away the laser pen and go to Qi Tongchen's room.
The map was spread out on the table. Qi Tongchen frowned. Seeing them coming in, he hurriedly said, "Brothers, Brother Jun, come and see if you have any clues?"
Zhu Changyang leaned over to take a look and shook his head, "I don't really understand this."
It's okay to let him recognize landmarks and routes, but to find materials, he needs to understand the interaction between materials and geography in order to determine the areas where the materials may appear.
These touched upon his blind spots in knowledge.
At this time, Jun Shu suddenly said: "This place is indeed a place where wind and energy are stored."
Qi Tongchen said "Huh", his eyes slightly brightened: "Brother Jun, have you learned the art of geomancy?"
"No." Jun Shu said succinctly, "I just saw too much."
Qi Tongchen suddenly realized that as long as a cultivator has more experience, he will naturally have some understanding of various terrains. He smiled and said, "Brother Jun is really knowledgeable."
Zhu Changyang was a little surprised. Brother Jun was so lazy and never went out of the house. How many places could he have seen
Just as he was wondering, Jun Shu suddenly noticed something and pointed to a few small dots on the picture: "What is this?"
Qi Tongchen said: "These are the seven wells in the city."
Zhu Changyang noticed that Jun Shu looked strange and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Jun Shu lowered his eyes and looked for a while, then said, "The location of these seven wells doesn't seem like a city defense formation that simply stores wind and gathers energy."
Qi Tongchen perked up: "What kind of formation is that?"
"I can't tell for now." Jun Shu shook his head. He was not familiar with geomancy and magic arrays, but he had a slight understanding of them. He could roughly see that the seven wells corresponded to the five elements and eight trigrams, but it was difficult to judge their specific functions for the time being.
Jun Shu wanted to take another look, but suddenly there was a noisy quarrel outside, and the shopkeeper shouted angrily: "Wang Quanyi, how could you do this?"
When they heard Wang Quanyi's name, they were all moved. They looked at each other, opened the door and went out.
In the lobby, the shopkeeper stood beside a table, arguing excitedly with a man in brocade clothes with a pointed chin and monkey face.
There were cups and plates in front of the man, obviously he had just had a big meal. He was still holding a wine glass in his hand and sitting there with an arrogant look on his face, not taking the shopkeeper seriously at all.
Zhu Changyang stopped a waiter nearby and asked, "What happened?"
The waiter's face flushed, and he was obviously very angry. He stared at the man in brocade clothes and cursed in a low voice: "Wang Quanyi is too much, he is simply a robber."
Zhu Changyang was a little surprised: "Is this person Wang Quanyi?"
Yesterday I heard from the waiter that Wang Quanyi had cultivated a lot of skills and no one in the city could do anything to him, which was why he was so arrogant. But the man in front of me had a weak aura and a wretched appearance. He didn't have the temperament of a cultivator at all.
It turned out that after Wang Quanyi took control of the well, he had been acting arrogantly in the city, and would eat and drink for free in various restaurants from time to time.
This inn has been taken advantage of several times, but no one dared to speak out.
This morning, Wang Quanyi appeared in the store again, and the shopkeeper immediately served him fine wine and delicious food. Unexpectedly, Wang Quanyi went even further this time and actually asked the shopkeeper to give him 50% of the store's profits, otherwise they would have to buy water in the store at ten times the price.
The inn business already consumes a lot of water. If they have to pay ten times the price for water, they will not be able to do business.
But no one could accept that half of the profits should be given to Wang Quanyi for no reason, so the shopkeeper started arguing with Wang Quanyi.
"Master Wang, every time you come, I serve you delicious food and drinks, and even give you the best wine in the store. Now you ask me for 50% profit. Aren't you trying to force me to death?" The shopkeeper covered his chest and his voice became hoarse.
Wang Quanyi was not moved at all. He drank slowly and said, "It's meaningless for you to say that. Now everyone in the city depends on me for their livelihood. You use my water for everything you eat and drink. If I didn't provide you with water, you wouldn't be able to do business. I only want 50% of your profit, not all of it. How can I force you to death?"
When Zhu Changyang and the others heard this, they all frowned.
It seems that Wang Quanyi's character is even worse than expected.
Studio:
[[Horsehead], why are there such rubbish people everywhere!!]
[I was furious when I heard this. Can Chang Yang kill him? I will give him some nutrient solution immediately! ]
Seeing Wang Quanyi being so shameless, the shopkeeper was so angry that his lips trembled: "You, you, you are going too far..."
"How is this going too far? Isn't what I said the truth?" Wang Quanyi sneered and said complacently, "If you have the ability, you can dig another well by yourself, and then you don't have to rely on me to live..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice from the side: "It's also a solution."
Wang Quanyi was startled, turned his head to look at the source of the voice, and found that the speaker was a young man with outstanding appearance. He immediately frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhu Changyang ignored him and looked at the shopkeeper, saying with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I can try to dig a well for you."
As soon as these words came out, before the shopkeeper could answer, Wang Quanyi laughed out loud: "Digging a well? You? Boy, you are from outside, right? Do you know where we are?"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to answer and said quickly: "Sir, you don't understand our land. Ordinary people can't dig it..."
"I didn't say I dug it myself." Zhu Changyang said as he took out a machine from his pocket and laughed, "Hehe, I just happened to build an internal combustion engine last night, let me try it out."
Studio:
[Wait, what did I hear???]
[Fuck, it's an internal combustion engine!! What does this mean? We have the equipment to destroy this piece of garbage! Zhu Changyang, you have the nutrient solution too!]
[To be honest, I thought this day would come when he was frantically buying oil, but I never thought it would come so soon! He is truly an industrial pioneer!]
