At 10:00 a.m. on July 11, the seventh year of Tianxuan, in the meeting room on the second floor of the lord's hut in Yigong Territory, the core heroes who stayed in the holy land of Yigong Territory gathered together and discussed in a low voice.
Qu Mao did not show up in the conference room on time. Although Qu Mao returned to the Holy Land yesterday morning, and a day and night rest is supposed to be enough to recover from the fatigue of the long voyage, Qu Mao obviously did not plan to get up early.
Waiting until he finished washing and having a hearty breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor, Qu Mao walked slowly to the conference room on the second floor.
Seeing Qu Mao coming up, the core heroes who had huddled together to discuss the issue in a low voice stopped discussing one after another, waiting for Qu Mao to preside over the meeting.
Of course, Kong Ming, who seemed inexplicably excited because he obtained 100,000 barrels of crude oil samples, was too excited to discuss. After Qu Mao entered the meeting room, Kong Ming was still discussing happily.
Qu Mao brought back crude oil from 50 transport ships this time, and each transport ship was loaded with 2,000 barrels of crude oil, which added up to a full 100,000 barrels, and Qu Mao also promised that follow-up crude oil would be provided regularly.
New material rubber researchers are reluctant to use it, so they found that after drying in the shade, the raw material of rubber can be obtained, which has strong sealing performance, and it only needs to be further processed into the desired shape and specification.
It’s just crude oil, which is continuously refined, and each refined substance seems to have corresponding application functions and scenarios, so more samples are needed.
It is a pity that the samples provided by the original residents of new energy petroleum crude oil and new material rubber to Yigong Territory are only 10 barrels each, which is very rare. The application of new material rubber may be just an accident, but the research on new energy petroleum crude oil does require consumption A large number of petroleum crude oil samples.
Seeing that Kong Ming would not be able to stop for a while, Qu Mao coughed twice to remind Kong Ming to pay attention.
Kong Ming noticed that Qu Mao was already sitting on the rostrum, so he quickly stopped talking, and sat upright, waiting for Qu Mao to speak.
Qu Mao cleared his throat and asked, "Everyone, it has been two and a half months since I left the holy land on April 25, the seventh year of Tianxuan, and now I have returned. How is the development of the holy land in the public domain, especially the development progress in the two major fields of industry and technology, has there been any major breakthroughs?"
Meng De and Zhong Mou glanced at each other, then shook their heads collectively.
Qu Mao's heart suddenly exploded, and he raised his voice and asked: "Has the application research and development of new energy and new materials in the Outlying Islands Research Institute been completed?
No, Kong Ming was still excited about providing a new energy sample yesterday. There is a high probability that there is no progress, right? Kong Ming! "
Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, smiled and shook his head at Qu Mao.
Qu Mao was a little depressed for a moment, and said: "Damn it! Since the application and development of new energy and new materials have not been completed, there is a high probability that the steam engine project will not make substantial progress; since there is no substantial progress in the steam engine, then the ironclad ship project, steel There is a high probability that there will not be any substantial progress in the chariot project and the steam-powered train project; there is also a controllable hot air balloon. If the refining and application of petroleum crude oil are not resolved, there will be no new fuels, and there is a high probability that it will also stagnate; wingsuit flight Clothes…"
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, your reasoning is completely correct..."
Kong Ming was still smiling and shaking his goose feather fan, and said: "Yes, my lord, everything is the same as before you left. We are still developing steadily, and we are still accumulating the necessary technical and practical foundations for technological and industrial innovation..."
Qu Mao picked up the teacup and threw it at Kong Ming, angrily said: "That's it, I'm still laughing at you!"
Xuande shot down the teacup that Qu Mao threw over, and said, "My lord, don't get angry, Mr. Kong Ming is a counselor, be careful to be crushed to death by you."
Qu Mao said angrily: "Then tell me, what's the point of me leaving for these two and a half months?"
Xuande smiled, and said: "Sir, it is certainly meaningful for you to leave for two and a half months, at least you bring back 100,000 barrels of crude oil, which will greatly accelerate the research of this new energy by our Offshore Energy Research Institute, isn't it? "
Kong Ming didn’t smile any more, he put a goose feather fan behind his waist, stood up and bowed his hands, and said, “My lord, in fact, everything is developing as before, isn’t it the state required by the development of science and technology and industry?
Oil and crude oil refining and separation research is a project that is progressing relatively quickly. Asphalt, a material for oil and crude oil separation, has been laid on the dam crest road of the outlying island Lihe dam. It will be safer and faster for war horses to run on asphalt roads. Drive more smoothly.
Rubber air-dried material has strong elasticity and airtightness. At present, researchers are not only trying to use rubber air-dried material to make airtight accessories for steam engines, but also trying to wrap rubber air-dried material on the wheels of wooden carriages to reduce the airtightness of the carriage. The level of bumps, just too few rubber samples..."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "These are also progress, at least the direction is right.
After the air-dried rubber is processed into a container, it should be able to become a container for gasoline separated from petroleum crude oil and without two fuels, so there will be no storage problem.
The fuel of the controllable hot air balloon can be replaced by gasoline or kerosene, which will be much better..."
Kong Ming said: "My lord, gasoline is still a matter of preservation. You mentioned diesel at the beginning. Diesel has not been separated yet, but you have obtained another fuel that is heavier than gasoline and has a pungent smell. The combustion effect is also better. , should be what you call kerosene.
At present, on the way to Gemini Island, a small amount of gasoline and kerosene samples have also been obtained, and they are preparing to study new firearms and weapons, and apply them to operations on the peninsula battlefield..."
As soon as he talked about the specific scientific research direction, Qu Mao's rage just now disappeared without a trace, and he began to express his own opinions.
It wasn't until he talked for a long time that Qu Mao realized that he seemed to be diverted by Kong Ming and others, and went deep into the research direction of new energy and new materials, automatically ignoring that he had left the Holy Land for two and a half months. The fact that development hasn't made any big strides, everything remains the same.
So Qu Mao sighed heavily, and said: "Inform heroes, managers and researchers in various fields that I have no objection to the accumulation of technology and industry, but key technologies must invest more resources and energy to speed up research.
Follow-up, I will inspect the Holy Land again and ask everyone to speed up further.
Let’s go here for today’s meeting first, and Xinping and Sierta Delta will stay here. "
