Before the ship docked, Chu Qing asked Brother Dajun to personally lead the people to set up a cordon. No one could get close, especially those from the boat division. Regardless of whether they were Luo Yundao waste or Guanghuai Dao Emperor's alliance, who dared to do so?
Get close, and when you get up there, Bang Bang will hit you with two punches and a flying kick.
The third brother led people to clear out an area. After the ship docked, barrels of the "fierce oil" that Wang Tianyu said were unloaded, more than 500 barrels.
Like a victorious general, Wang Tianyu led his younger brother and his cousin from Hucheng to the shore.
"The cauldron, brought it back."
Chu Qing smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to give a few words of approval, Yuzi laughed wildly and said: "With so much fierce fire oil, I can burn all the fire in Changjing!"
Chu Qing's smile gradually condensed, and then he turned his head: "Tong Tong."
"exist."
"Call Luzhu and take this idiot back to serve his sentence."
Wang Tianyu couldn't stop laughing and shouted: "Da Guo, you can't hold up your pants and refuse to admit it."
Chu Qing was too lazy to talk to Yuzai and looked nervously at the cuttlefish who was testing the crude oil.
Or maybe the five hundred thousand yuan was really not borrowed in vain. As a rich man of the Mo family, Lao Mo has definitely seen it before.
He took a quick look, sniffed slightly, and opened his mouth.
"There is fire in the middle of the river, and the fire is in the middle of the river."
Chu Qing didn't understand what he meant: "Am I going to have a good time?"
"Fire in water, fire on top, water on the bottom, this is what comes from the Book of Changes."
Chu Qing understood that Ze means water.
A lot of surface oil burns due to some natural factors, many of which are in the water. People don't know that this is because of the oil, and they think of it as gods and ghosts.
Cuttlefish looked at Wang Tianyu: "Can it ignite when exposed to fire?"
Yuzai, who was about to find Luzhu to continue serving his sentence, lowered his head and said, "Some are okay, some are not."
Cuttlefish nodded slightly: "It needs to be refined before it can be used. There are records of this thing in the Mohist classics."
Chu Qing asked expectantly: "Is your Mo family's method feasible?"
"I don't know."
Chu Qing squatted down and rubbed his temples vigorously, like a vicissitudes of life Brother Yixiu, trying to remember the method of refining oil.
But after thinking about it, he found that all the information about oil in his previous life was that oil companies lost more than 750 billion a year, and he could not recall any relevant knowledge points.
"I should have known I was chasing a girl from an oil company, damn."
Hitting his forehead hard, Chu Qing began to show his impotence and rage again.
According to the third brother's idea, during naval battles, for the purpose of destroying enemy ships, gunpowder crossbows are much sharper than ordinary feather arrows and rockets, but they do not achieve the effect Chu Qing, a layman, expected. The reason why archers use rockets is because
Can ignite sails and other hull parts, damaging the ship.
The third brother didn't see the power of fierce fire oil, but he heard it from Brother Dajun, so he thought of it. If the main attack method is changed to fierce fire oil, enemy ships can be burned quickly.
Yuzai's method of using fire oil is very primitive, which is to rely on manpower to throw it. This is definitely not possible in naval battles, but if you use a trebuchet or trebuchet, you can increase the range and accuracy, and throw barrels filled with fire oil to the enemy.
Behind the ship, whether it is a ignited feather arrow or a gunpowder crossbow, it can ignite the enemy ship.
There was no problem with the feasibility, so Wang Tianyu led a fleet to transport the fierce oil back.
According to Yuzai, some fire oils can be ignited directly, while others cannot be ignited, which is related to the impurity content, and this also involves a purification problem. This thing is an organic compound, with different stabilities and even different impurities.
The method used by Yuzai is also very primitive. It does not count the sealing and layering. The main reason is that this guy has not practiced it very much and is very lazy. He uses it when he can and cannot directly dump it into the sea to pollute nature.
Standing up, Chu Qing informed Cuiyu about the refining method that Wang Tianyu gave him.
"Brother Mo." Chu Qing was also a little unsure: "Can it be done?"
Cuttlefish shook his head: "I don't know, according to General Wang's method, I'm afraid I can only get one or two out of ten."
"The price-performance ratio is too low. It takes more than ten days to make a trip, and it will be delayed for more than a month if there are storms."
Fu San: "Geneva pays back the interest!"
Cuttlefish: "Twenty-three out of ten."
Fu San: "Pay it back now!"
Cuiyu gritted his teeth and said: "Thirty-four out of ten, I will try my best."
Chu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Third brother, please don't make things difficult for me. Crude oil itself has many impurities. After a barrel is refined, it is not impossible that two-thirds of it will be waste oil."
Third brother doesn't understand, and Chu Qing doesn't understand either, but he still has basic common sense.
"Try your best." Chu Qing patted Cuiyu on the shoulder and encouraged: "If you can't fix it, just give me back the interest!"
Cuttlefish didn't care, and said thoughtfully: "General Wang said that there is strong fire oil that can be ignited. Let's try it first, and I will see it with my own eyes before making a conclusion."
"good."
Cuiyu called a Mohist disciple and gave some explanations.
After a while, a small trebuchet mounted on a carriage was pulled over. Wang Tianyu picked out a bucket of fire oil that could be ignited and rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I'll do whatever you want to burn."
"Go away, stay as far away from these oil drums as possible in the future. If I catch you wandering around here, I'll give you a dog-leg discount!"
Chu Qing cursed, looked at the sea, and pointed at a dilapidated ship: "Smash it there."
This ship originally belonged to the Guanghuai Taoist Emperor's Alliance Army. Cao Hu was a man who lived a good life. When he saw that the broken ship was not sinking, he pulled it back. However, the Mohist disciples gave up after seeing it. It needed to be overhauled and there was a dock.
It was overhauled and finally thrown away.
Chu Qing asked Wang Tongtong to take people to check and make sure no more idiots were lazy on the boat. He would be cremated on the spot later.
After confirming that no one was around, Chu Qing asked Brother Dajun to expand the cordon. For this kind of thing, you can never be too careful.
After struggling for half an hour, before Wang Tianyu's excitement had passed, Luzhu came and insisted on seeing the ship on fire with his own eyes before going to serve his sentence.
When everything was ready, Fusan took out the Senmimu.
"East."
"Dong." Cuiyu adjusted the trebuchet himself.
The third brother put down his clairvoyance, took out his abacus, looked at the red flag planted on the coast, and made some calculations.
"One hundred and six feet."
"Bai Liuzhang." Cuiyu fixed the oil barrel on the catapult: "Throw the barrel seven catties six to seven catties nine."
The third brother typed the abacus very quickly, then put his fingers in his mouth, wetted them, and raised his fingers.
"Wind speed, smooth, A-2, full twist can be thrown."
"Wind speed, smooth, A-2, full twist can be thrown." After Cuiyu repeated it, he looked at Chu Qing: "Shoot?"
Chu Qing next to him was shocked. He didn't expect that the third brother and Cuiyu had already developed a catapult?
Cuttlefish asked again: "To vote or not to vote?"
"cast."
Cuiyu squatted down, took a deep breath, and then quickly pulled out the circlip holding the tendon.
With a "buzz" sound, the kerosene barrel drew an arc and hit the sea-breaking ship more than 300 meters away.
Chu Qing shook his fist fiercely: "Yes."
When Wang Tianyu saw that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly picked up the divine arm crossbow, lit the fuse with lightning speed, and shot directly.
Almost in the next second, there was a "boom", like muffled thunder. Following this explosion, everyone on the beach turned to look at it and gasped.
