None of these things can stand up to questioning. When Wu Meiniang asked Li Sheng, she realized that this matter was really a big deal.
"What?"
Wu Meiniang hadn't finished her words yet. She only said that she suspected that the buyer was suspicious and might have something to do with oil.
Before he even said the specific reason why it was related, Li Sheng immediately jumped up in shock.
"Is there an oil field? Is this true? What is the path?"
Who is this person? He actually has oil in his hands?
Li Sheng has no interest in the relationship between oranges and oil. He also never thought that Wu Meiniang thought of oil from oranges because of burning dan.
For Li Sheng, the incendiary dan made in this way was simply earthy. It was a temporary project caused by the war, and everything was made by ordinary methods, which could not be judged by Li Sheng, an orthodox science and engineering student.
Compared with these, oil is the most important resource.
Resources...just resources.
Without enough resources, all industry is empty talk!
For Li Sheng, the oil field was the truly informative part of what Wu Meiniang had been talking about for a long time.
But then Wu Meiniang explained the situation, and Li Sheng was really stunned.
"Wait a minute...you said someone is buying oranges in bulk, so you assume there is oil? This..."
Li Sheng was a little suspicious. This idea was a bit unreasonable...
What does oil have to do with oranges?
But then Wu Meiniang explained proudly and put on a reasoning show.
After saying this, Li Sheng also suddenly realized.
Good guy...
There is really a connection between oil and oranges.
But he never expected that this was actually something he used to make burning pills in his own way.
This connection actually occurred in the "prescription" I used... it was outrageous.
But Li Sheng knew that Wu Meiniang was right.
If people in this era want to obtain powerful thermal weapons, it is definitely far away to slowly test the strength of iron pipes and copper pipes. So what should we do?... It's very simple, just make incendiary dans and grenades.
Such simple explosives are much easier to make than guns.
And if the ancients still knew some mechanism skills, they could even make time bombs or copy their own home-made mines.
This kind of thing seems very crude and primitive in my opinion, but in this era it is indeed very powerful and very useful.
If someone has the idea of making incendiary dan to enhance military strength, that is completely normal!
When you think about it this way, things are really possible.
Li Sheng thought for a moment and immediately understood what Wu Meiniang meant. In this era, there are not as many cheap and easy-to-use refrigeration facilities as there are in modern society.
After purchasing a fruit on such a large scale, even if there is a market for it, how long will it take to sell it? No matter what the oranges are used for, the entire business cycle is indeed far beyond the shelf life.
In other words, this matter is 100% completely inconsistent with business logic!
Youdao is that there are people who do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money...
On the other hand, if someone engages in a business that seems to be losing money, then be careful. This person might be engaged in beheading business secretly——
For example, privately made burning dan...
In modern times, this thing is indeed a very crude steel-making thing, but in this era, burning dan is a god-level weapon comparable to nuclear weapons.
As soon as the flaming shot went down, there were four or five soldiers who were all on fire. The basic meaning of war was: win.
Isn't this a nuclear weapon?
Therefore, Wu Meiniang's voice was quite nervous when she talked about this matter, because in Li Sheng's opinion...
"Good guy, you are just secretly enriching uranium..."
Li Sheng muttered something funny, but Wu Meiniang couldn't help but was stunned when she heard it, "Master... what do you mean by condensing again?"
A new word came up all of a sudden, and it seemed to be something extraordinary. Wu Meiniang couldn't help but ask about it.
But Li Sheng waved his hand, "The topic of nuclear weapons is too far away for you, let's talk about oil..."
When Li Sheng said this, Wu Meiniang was a little confused, and her eyes subconsciously glanced left and right...
It seems like I am the only one nearby. What does "you" mean...
Is this house haunted?
However, Li Sheng had already said so, and of course he truthfully reported the information he had recently collected and continued to express his speculations.
Having said this...
Li Sheng smiled and nodded, with some light shining in his eyes.
Yes……
indeed.
It is not easy to make burning dan, and the oil required is extremely precious.
If the other party wants to manually search for oil, it will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
And if by chance an oil field has been found, it also means that the other party has countless resources and connections, and is a person with great hands and eyes. It can even be said...
Even more powerful than a super wealthy family like the Five Surnames and Qiwang!
What is the origin of such an existence?... Thinking about it makes people curious...
Arabia? Rome?
Apart from such an empire-level existence, Li Sheng really couldn't think of anyone else with such a skill!
Of course, it’s hard to say how difficult it is to find oil. What if someone just gets lucky and gets it for free...
But these oranges are difficult to explain. Such a large scale is not ordinary at all. Even a wealthy family like Wu Xingqiwang would have difficulty handling such a large amount of goods——
It’s not that it can’t be done, but based on the needs of Wu Xing Qi Wang, it is impossible for them to purchase so many oranges - the financial resources they need to use are too great, and it is impossible to see what business can be done around these oranges, and what else
Profitable.
So what are they busy with?
So things seemed very strange. These people obviously didn't hold anything good in their stomachs...
Could it be that Qiwang of the fifth surname was making burning pills and preparing to cause trouble? This is not very likely...
After all, Li Sheng could guess with his toes that these people with five surnames and Qi Wang had great prestige among the scholars and could be called celebrities.
But among the grassroots people, they are basically a bunch of stinky dogs.
In other words, if they want to cause trouble, it is impossible to mobilize the masses to rebel. It is impossible for those tenants to listen to them. They can only choose to plan a coup in Chang'an.
but……
Not to mention what the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes can accomplish and how bold they are...
Even if they dare to take action, just for the Chang'an coup, they don't need to use so much incendiary pellets - how much orange juice and how much incendiary pellets are needed for tens of thousands of catties of oranges? This amount is too outrageous and unreasonable
…
So it can only be a certain country!
It must be a force of this level, and it is definitely not a small force.
Rome, Arabia, and the Incas in the Americas must be at this level. If they are like Goguryeo...
