The material Li Sheng used at that time was tung oil. In Li Sheng's opinion, this thing was completely useless because tung oil...
Come to think of it, how can it be better than gasoline?
So Li Sheng didn't want to use it at all. After the last search, Li Sheng actually found an oil field... There was a lot of clear oil that could be used directly, and it was a top-quality oil field.
There are not necessarily many top oil fields, but they must be easy to exploit and the oil fields must be of high quality.
Of course Li Sheng knew that such things existed, but they were hard to find - the chemical industry in later generations was a specialized industry, but it didn't mean that if you were working in the oil industry, you would definitely know about those things.
In other words, finding such good oil requires a certain amount of luck, and luck...
It is uncontrollable, and it is something that Li Sheng cannot conjure up based on his ability.
If this were not the case, the Tang Dynasty would not use such a large number of forbidden troops to open up borders... and search for resources.
The small amount of light oil found that time was a rare opportunity given by God. Li Sheng decisively made all the oil into incendiary pellets. This was the precious combat power of the Tang Dynasty and an artifact that stabilized the country's borders.
But later I wanted to have more and it was gone. It was really gone.
If oil fields could be found anywhere and were easy to exploit, without high-cost petrochemical technology, there wouldn’t be so many powerful princes in the Middle East.
That is to say...
After this wave, you can imagine what kind of treasure Yeon Gaesumun has picked up.
One wave, Tianhu!
Incendiary dan is extremely powerful. Even in modern times, it cannot be compared to ballistic missiles and stealth fighters, even if it is not considered top-notch. However, it can still be considered a T2 level weapon among ordinary weapons.
The key is that this thing is quite easy to prepare.
If something is powerful and easy to prepare, it would be easy to cause trouble just thinking about it.
In fact, why China banned guns later, the reason is actually very simple, because guns are something that can simply and crudely improve one's combat effectiveness to a certain level immediately.
And now this burning dan is like this for the national level. Once you have it, the combat effectiveness is really...
The sudden increase is not the most critical thing. After all, Goguryeo suddenly has a large number of troops, and the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of you.
But it's different when you find oil. With burning dan, the combat effectiveness is not improved, but the nature changes, which directly changes the quality.
Now...
Goguryeo finally had the possibility of a head-on collision with the Tang Dynasty!
War is complicated. Before it happens, everyone can only talk about possibilities, rather than tell fortunes with confidence.
But even if it is just a possibility, how many countries in the world can obtain this possibility?
The qualification to collide head-on with Datang is the ultimate card!
When they heard about this, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others were startled.
Speaking of petroleum, everyone is really not familiar with it...and aren't we talking about what to do with the medicinal materials in our hands now? What petroleum are you talking about now, what does this have to do with everyone?
And...and who knows what oil is?
But after a while, someone actually remembered it, because after thinking about it, you can immediately realize that Zheng Taishan and Hu Sou's matter is a military and national event, and if you think in this direction...then you can think of Li Er's matter.
Burn Dan!
This thing is already famous in the Tang Dynasty. Who doesn't know that the Forbidden Army has this magical weapon in its hands and is invincible in the world.
So……
Now, oil fields have also been discovered in Goguryeo, a country of barbarians in the north.
And according to what Zheng Taishan means...
"Brother Zheng, could it be that General Yeon Gaesumun can also use this... this name..."
"oil!"
Wang Jing asked in confusion, Zheng Taishan reminded him, and then Wang Jing slapped his thigh, "Yes, oil! Use this thing as a weapon?"
"Doesn't that mean that in the future this... this Goguryeo will also rise?"
Wang Jing looked at Zheng Taishan in great surprise, because although this matter had little to do with everyone, it was indeed a big deal.
And for some reason, Wang Jing felt strangely relaxed at this moment—
Well, anyway, the horrible thing about hoarding medicine is already so bad, it would be good to divert your attention... at least it doesn't have to be so difficult for me...
In fact, it's not just Wang Jing, everyone around him, including Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng, and Cui Baihe, all look like this.
But at this time, Mr. Zheng Taishan said a surprising situation.
"It's true that there is oil...but this thing is not the same as that precious burning dan."
The real treasure is burning dan, not the oil itself.
This distinction seems natural to modern people. After all, it is impossible for all oil to be used to make burning dans - what do you want to do?
But in Wang Jing's view, the relationship between oil and burning dan is that of chickens and eggs, beans and soy milk——
With petroleum, why can't we make burning dan?
Why don't you hurry up and fuck Li Er hard, so that this damn fool can also feel the beatings from society?
Everyone didn't quite understand what Zheng Taishan said, and there was some confusion in their eyes. They thought that these barbarians have straight brains. Could it be that the burning pills were not enough, and they wanted to do some tricks...
But there doesn’t seem to be any tricks to it. What about burning Dan? You just burn Li Er and that’s it?
But then Zheng Taishan talked about it a little bit, and everyone understood that it was really not that simple.
Because although Zheng Taishan was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, he was relatively south in terms of mountains and rivers, and he didn't understand much about the war in the north.
But because there is Zheng Xuannian in the Zheng family - this guy was a former minister of Dali Temple, and later went to find a job with the Turks, so Zheng Taishan really knows a lot of military things, which is different from Wang Jing.
I know a lot of people who know the military, but I don’t know much about the military.
Zheng Taishan talked about the relationship between oil and burning dan, and everyone understood that this matter is not that simple——
This oil will turn into burning dan...
Do you need something else?
Thinking of this, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others understood what Zheng Taishan was going to say, and that was it.
And Zheng Taishan really nodded.
"good……"
"To make burning dandruff out of this oil, you have to use a thing called 'lemon', or you can use oranges instead. But neither of these two things are available in Goguryeo!"
"lemon?"
"tangerine……?"
Wang Jing and others were stunned when they heard this. How could they use this thing... Isn't this a fruit for eating? How could it be related to weapons?
But considering that the "gunpowder" Li Sheng originally made was also a combination of various medicinal materials, it doesn't seem strange that the burning gunpowder should be used as "medicine", but...
