In a certain room of the Palace Tree, which covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, there is a dazzling array of bottles, jars, glassware and experimental equipment of all sizes. There are almost hundreds of sets, arranged orderly and neatly in the room.
On display, in some bottles, jars and glassware, there are liquids of various colors, some of which are still bubbling at the moment...
Some bottles and jars and glassware even contained complete body parts of demon knights and specimens of demon warriors.
In some professional experimental vessels, several kinds of weird zombie poison miasma with strange colors are floating like ghosts in several sealed spaces, slowly corroding pieces of flesh, flesh and bones...
This place looks a bit eerie, but if a voodoo elixir master or a scholar engaged in microbiological research comes here, his eyes will light up and he will feel like he has arrived in heaven.
Here is the microbial evolution laboratory of the Black Iron Castle. The equipment of this laboratory may not be much different from other similar laboratories, but because of the special abilities of the Black Iron Castle, this microbial evolution laboratory,
It is definitely the most awesome laboratory in the entire human race.
After having Heller, Zhang Tie has completely left the evolutionary management of various creatures and species in the Black Iron Castle to Heller. He almost never takes care of it and only waits for the results.
Zhang Tie has almost never been to this microbial evolution laboratory. This is Zhang Tie's first time.
Just now, Zhang Tie was still practicing in Feizhou's room. After hearing the message from Heller, saying that he had something important to show him, Zhang Tie returned to the Black Iron Castle.
Even when the Moon Demon Miasma completed its transformation, Heller never said the important word.
Therefore, Zhang Tie was curious about what made Heller cautious.
"Heller, what exactly do you want to show me by bringing me here?"
Standing in front of a pile of glassware, Zhang Tie glanced at the dozens of Erlenmeyer flasks placed on the experimental table, wondering what Heller wanted to show him.
Heller didn't say anything. He just picked up one of those triangular flasks and handed it to Zhang Tie, "This is the latest mutant species completed by Yuan Neng Spiritual Qi Yeast. This mutant species is very special. The Lord of the Castle should
have a look!"
"In recent years, haven't we obtained dozens of mutant varieties of Yuan Neng Aura Yeast? What's so special about this?"
Over the years, Zhang Tie's original Yuan Neng Spiritual Qi yeast has mutated dozens more. But those mutated Yuan Neng Spiritual Qi yeasts have various defects, and they are not the varieties that produce mutations.
It is perfect and usable, so it does not have much practical value. It can only be regarded as a new variety.
"Lord the Lord, you will know just by looking at it?"
Zhang Tie took the bottle filled with light yellow liquid, looked at the beer-like liquid inside, and shook it. The liquid in the bottle was very clear with almost no turbidity.
"This thing is fermented with mutated Yuan Neng Reiki yeast?"
"Yes!"
After hearing Heller's answer, Zhang Tie curiously opened the glass stopper of the Erlenmeyer flask and brought the mouth of the bottle to his nose.
In an instant, an extremely strong smell of alcohol emanated from the triangular flask.
Zhang Tie had never smelled the smell of alcohol, but compared to ordinary alcohol, the smell of the alcohol in the bottle was a bit more pungent.
"Alcohol?"
"It should be!" Heller said, handing over another Erlenmeyer flask. There was also some transparent liquid in that Erlenmeyer flask. "This is ordinary alcohol. The Lord of the castle will know after comparing it!"
Should it be? Heller's words made Zhang Tie slightly stunned. He took another Erlenmeyer flask and smelled it. This is the normal smell of alcohol, not that spicy, and the color is also transparent.
Zhang Tie even tasted a little of the bottle of strange light yellow alcohol with his mouth, and it was just a little bit. Zhang Tie felt that his tongue was numb all of a sudden. The taste of the bottle of alcohol was too exciting, and judging from the taste,
, seems to be unable to drink.
"Judging from the taste, the light yellow bottle is spicier than this ordinary bottle of alcohol. Is there anything special about it?"
Seeing Zhang Tie taste it, Heller laughed and said, "Have you forgotten what fuel you added to your Dragon Dragon T9?"
Zhang Tie was shocked. He looked at the two bottles of alcohol in his hand and poured the two bottles of alcohol into the two burning crucibles in front of him. With a flick of his finger, a little spark flew out from between his fingers.
The spark in the sky split into two, like two fireflies, and landed in the two burning crucibles.
A ball of blue flame more than half a foot high suddenly shot up in front of Zhang Tie...
The one that burst into flames was the burning crucible with light yellow alcohol poured into it, while the other crucible with ordinary alcohol poured into it burned quietly and steadily. The flames did not jump up, and were only as high as a fist.
.
The flame of light yellow alcohol is much higher than that of ordinary alcohol, and it burns more intensely and brings a higher temperature.
Judging from the effect, when the light yellow alcohol burns, it is almost impossible to believe that it is alcohol.
Zhang Tie stood in front of the two burning crucibles, his face dyed blue by the blue flames, flickering brightly and darkly.
After a long time, the flames in the two burning crucibles almost went out at the same time. Zhang Tie stretched out his finger and touched the bottom of the burning crucible. The bottom of the burning crucible was still very clean, without any dust or burning residue, as if it had never been burned.
Just like anything else.
The burning of alcohol leaves nothing behind except water and carbon dioxide.
Zhang Tie swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Heller, "How high is the combustion value of this new alcohol?"
"The combustion value of this new alcohol can reach 1100012000 kilocalories per kilogram!" Heller said a number, "The newly mutated Yuaneng Aura yeast we recently obtained has a very single and powerful
With super fermentation characteristics, the things fermented by this yeast almost no longer contain any aura, that is, they have no edible value at all. However, while losing aura during fermentation, this yeast can also participate in the fermentation.
The maximum energy and combustion value of the fermented product are extracted and doubled, and by using this new yeast to participate in the fermentation, we can obtain alcohol with extremely high combustion value!"
Hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie rushed out of the Microbial Evolution Laboratory without looking back, and arrived at the library of Palace Tree at almost his fastest speed.
Looking at Zhang Tie's back, Heller just smiled, as if he already understood what Zhang Tie was going to do...
In the library of Palace Tree, Zhang Tie collected millions of books obtained when the Weiyi subcontinent was destroyed. These books are all-encompassing, covering all aspects, many books, and even publications before the catastrophe.
Zhang Tie remembered that he seemed to have seen something useful in a beautiful publication before the Cataclysm.
Zhang Tie, who rushed to the library, was like lightning. He turned twice among the bookshelves in the library that were more than ten meters high. With his terrifying search ability, he quickly found the target, which was on a high bookshelf.
Next, he jumped up, floated in the air, and quickly took a book from the penultimate shelf on top of the library's bookshelf.
This book is a Hebrew publication, a publication before the Catastrophe. Although it has been eight or nine hundred years, it is still relatively well preserved.
The cover of the book is an exquisite hard cover. There is a propeller plane before the cataclysm, a car and several engine models. Behind these things, there is a dense sugar cane field. This is a book at that time.
A professional magazine for engineers and professional readers, the name of the magazine is "New Energy".
In the middle of this magazine, there is the theme of this issue "After the oil crisis, Basilea, a major sugar cane growing country, launches an alcohol energy plan"
There are two subtitles below: "Following the promotion of ethanol gas stations and ethanol cars across the country, Basilea's first ethanol-fueled aircraft successfully made its first flight on October 5."
Under this subtitle is an eye-catching red font: "The three major oil groups severely accuse the Basilea government of violating the regional energy supply structure and quota plan."
Zhang Tie quickly turned the magazine to the page introducing alcohol airplanes.
"The first alcohol-powered aircraft successfully completed its debut on October 5 in the city of Salaba in Basilia. Prior to this, the aircraft named Hope had completed 300 hours of test flights using alcohol as fuel.
The pilot said that the flight condition of the Hope was very good..."
Zhang Tie quickly obtained the key information he wanted to know from this article.
"Hope" was jointly developed by the Basilia Aircraft Manufacturing Company and the University of Basilia. It is modified from a gasoline-fueled Mustang propeller aircraft and uses a 320-horsepower Lycoming six-cylinder engine.
It can accommodate two people…”
"Engineers claim that ethanol-powered aircraft are more durable and seven percent more efficient than gasoline-powered aircraft..."
"After converting one-third of the country's cars into ethanol-gasoline vehicles, this is another major step taken by the Basilia government..."
"On the day of the successful test flight of the Hope, the Baselia Aircraft Manufacturing Company received an order for 150 aircraft. The orders came from farmers and sugarcane producers in the country. For farmers and sugarcane producers in Basilia
, none of them thought that one day the alcohol they processed from the things they grew in the ground would be able to fly into the sky. This excited the farmers and sugar cane producers. More importantly, the people who used this kind of aircraft
The flight cost is only one-third of that of traditional gasoline airplanes, and there is no pollution during the flight. It does not produce a large amount of harmful gases and pollute the air like burning gasoline..."
"Sugar cane producer Curio said that using this kind of aircraft to spray pesticides would save him a lot of money every year and make it easier for him to travel short and medium distances..."
"Officials from Basilia Aircraft Manufacturing Company stated that regional aircraft powered by alcohol are already in the development process..."
"If the alcohol energy plan is successfully implemented, Basilea, the largest alcohol producer in the region, will become a major energy exporter in one fell swoop..."
After reading the contents of this magazine, Zhang Tie flew up again and pulled out another "New Energy" magazine from the bookshelf. Compared with the previous magazine, the cover of this New Energy magazine was black and looked
It is particularly depressing. Judging from the publication date of the magazine, it was published half a year after the previous magazine.
Under the cover of the magazine, there are two titles.
"A coup occurred in Basilia, and the former president was shot to death indiscriminately"
"The new Bassilia Parliament passed an energy use bill that will ban all production and sales of alcohol aircraft, and alcohol fuel used in cars will be mixed with gasoline in strict proportions"
"Three major oil groups loaned 120 billion to Basilia to support the new Basilia government in restoring domestic order"
…
Putting down the two publications before the catastrophe, Zhang Tie fell into deep thought. During the period of human history when oil was about to be exhausted before the catastrophe, according to the introduction in the magazine, the burning value of gasoline, one of the most important energy sources, was
It was 1045011250 kilocalories per kilogram, while the combustion value of alcohol before the Cataclysm was 60007000 kilocalories per kilogram. At that time, humans had actually fully developed the means to replace gasoline with alcohol. All internal combustion engines powered by gasoline
, as long as it is slightly modified, it can also burn alcohol.
The reason why alcohol did not become a mainstream fuel before the Cataclysm was more political than technical. Petroleum interests stifled those possibilities.
The reason why alcohol in the Black Iron Age withdrew from the ranks of mainstream energy is because the series of magical changes caused by the Cataclysm made the original alcohol's combustion value much lower, and it was no longer suitable for the needs of internal combustion engines.
It is a sports car like the Andromeda T9. The engine it uses is also an external combustion steam engine instead of an internal combustion engine.
The newly mutated Yuan Neng Spiritual Qi yeast can ferment alcohol with a combustion value of 1100012000 kcal per kilogram. This value is higher than the alcohol burning value before the catastrophe, and has even exceeded gasoline. Doesn't that mean that as long as
With this kind of alcohol, you can create many gasoline-fueled machines and equipment before the Cataclysm, and make them move, such as propeller planes that are faster than airships, such as higher-performance cars, such as
Speaking of armored vehicles with stronger assault capabilities on the battlefield...
Zhang Tie himself was stunned by the new possibilities and prospects for the future brought about by the mutation brought about by the Yuan Neng Spiritual Qi Yeast.
This thing will likely bring about an energy and industrial revolution in the Iron Age.
…
Two days later, Zhang Tie, who had calmed down, was meditating in Feizhou's training room. The transmission bell in the training room rang, and Zhang Tie opened his eyes.
Liu Xing's voice came from outside, "Master, Zhulong has arrived!" (To be continued.) h118
