Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1305 Fuel
"No wonder." Shangluo saw that he and Lu Qianhu seemed so familiar with each other, so they were indeed not strangers.

Come to think of it, those who can study in the Imperial College by virtue of the imperial title are actually all the same.

"By the way, Shangluo, how much are you going to pay for it?" the other side asked, "Although this is our internal matter, we still have to settle the bill."

"Ah? Does it cost money?"

"Yes. And it's very troublesome."

"I almost forgot. It's very troublesome." Captain Lu reminded him, "If you purchase directly from Daqing Oilfield, you have to use Liaodong military notes."

"what is that?"

"That's it. How should I put it?" Lu Qianhu thought for a while, "It's Liaodong currency, the local currency used in Liaodong. Liaodong uses another set of currency issued by the Ministry of Industry, mainly to prevent people from going to Liaodong to buy up land and annex land, destroy military settlements, etc. In order to protect the economic development of Liaodong, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War set a threshold through Liaodong military notes."

"Ah, is there any exchange limit? Do I need to exchange it separately?"

"It's okay. You don't have to pay. Just keep the account. Liaodong military notes are not for civilian use. They are mainly used for accounting and are only transferred between departments. I will handle this. You can just use them. Damn it, how did you find the Daqing Oilfield?"

Shangluo pointed at Lei Fu who was standing next to him.

"Ah! You must be Lao Lei's son! You look exactly like him, except that you are much thinner than him."

[I roughly know what the person on the other end of the line looks like. I guess your chair won’t fit.]

"If you can't find the oil field, I actually plan to help you allocate some from the research institute. Let me tell you, it's actually quite difficult to talk to the oil field people."

"I think I heard it." Shangluo realized that this so-called "second fuel" seemed to be something that was quite dangerous to manage. "It would be very troublesome to control, right?"

Lu Huaiyang nodded: "The use of Torch Fuel needs to be supervised throughout the entire process, this is a basic rule. Because any Qigong practitioner who gets Torch Fuel can turn it into a bomb. This is considered a firearms control for Qigong practitioners. Without Torch Fuel, the damage that Qigong practitioners in the Qigong period can cause is limited. But if Torch Fuel is added, that is not necessarily the case.

"So the Second Fuel Department generally does not accept additional orders from outside. Although you are sure to give it, don't you have to keep it confidential?"

"Yeah, yeah." Shangluo nodded.

"It's easy to not keep it secret. We can just send a letter from Jinyiwei and ask them to coordinate. But if you want to keep it secret, then we have to..." Lu Huaiyang covered his forehead, "We have to smuggle it ourselves."

"Ah, this. Is this appropriate?"

"It's what you want, boss. I still don't know where exactly you are going to recruit soldiers?"

"Eh? Captain Lu, you still don't know, right?"

"Of course I don't know. I only heard something like 'shoot the moon rabbit, shoot the moon rabbit'. I guess it's a code. Who knows what you are going to shoot? You haven't informed me of your real purpose. You can't really be going to shoot the moon rabbit."

"Well, actually we are going to hunt the Moon Rabbit. And you know about Lu Qianhu, so let's go together."

"Goodbye." Lu Huaiyang turned around and left, and threw back a sentence, "I will help you with the fuel issue. Let this kid do some smuggling with his father."

After saying that, Lu Huaiyang ran away. "I knew that as soon as I said that, the older people would run away. If it weren't for the credits, who would be willing to go to such a place?"

[Fortunately, the fuel is now available.]

Shangluo knew that this time he might have to use a lot of fuel, mainly because the lunar surface combat would probably rely mainly on machinery, especially automatic machinery.

At this time, if you want to maintain energy supply on the lunar surface, you can only use torch fuel.

First of all, solar energy is not an option, as solar energy technology is just getting started, and it is impossible to use electricity for all lunar operations. Ordinary fuel is also not an option, because the lunar surface environment is expected to be quite harsh, and it is unlikely that liquids will remain in liquid form for long enough.

At this time, the torch element is very important. No matter what the surrounding conditions are, the torch element fuel can maintain the most stable form under the control of the Qigong practitioner.

And just as Lu Huaiyang said, the destructive power that ordinary Qigong practitioners can cause is quite limited. But once there is phlogiston, substantial energy can be stimulated from it, and there are many uses. Just making a detonation gun is already a very powerful weapon.

[Shangluo, I'm thinking about one thing - are we still missing something? ]

"what?"

[It seems difficult for a space suit practitioner to remain active in outer space. 】

"Oh!" Shangluo slapped his head, "How could I forget it?"

[How could you forget even this? ]

"Because I don't need it. I just need to maintain the small circulation, which can last for a long time. I think most of the time should be spent in the cabin, and I can just go out physically for extravehicular activities - but I forgot that I can't go out during the Qi training period."

[If you don't mind, we can ask Rome to provide some. ]

“Are there a lot of them over there?”

[It's the stealth suit you wore before. That suit can even be used as a deep-sea diving suit. As long as it has enough phlogiston, it can adapt to any environment. Even in outer space, it can maintain its normal internal state and will not even affect activities.]

"So that's the calculation. Very good, we're all ready. Once all the people who have signed up are here and the rocket is well maintained, we can go to space right away."

This was an unprecedentedly fast space activity. Shangluo even only planned to give each selected Qigong practitioner three days to train. Now with Zhu Ling, the scale of the training might have to be expanded, and then she would be eliminated.

For Qigong practitioners, three days of adaptation should be enough for them to adapt to the cosmic environment. On the first day of the experiment, Shangluo prepared to give everyone an overload of 10 times gravity. Those who could bear it would stay, and those who couldn't would leave.

This is where Qigong practitioners come in handy. They can easily reach the limits of their bodies through spiritual energy, which is an ability that all Qigong practitioners have. Therefore, they don't need to be trained for too long, because Qigong practitioners can adapt to everything. As their cultivation level improves, Qigong practitioners' adaptability to the environment will become stronger and stronger, until they establish a small circulation in the Jindan stage, and then they can completely ignore the external environment.

"Since it's going so well, let's start overload training tomorrow. By the way, do we have any training equipment?"

[Definitely not. Neither does Rome.]

"That's easy. I'll fly the plane myself and take them for a flight. Wait, Apollonia, please inform those who plan to participate in the selection that they should not eat from tonight. Do not eat."
