I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[Let me give you an example that is familiar to everyone and easy to understand. ]

[Ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, can be obtained from crops rich in sugar, such as corn and sugar cane, through fermentation. ]

[Now, many places have promoted E10 gasoline, which is 10% ethanol added to gasoline. ]

[The pollution emitted by burning biofuels is usually less than that of traditional fuels, and is more environmentally friendly. ]

[Moreover, the sources of biofuels are very wide. ]

[In addition to corn and sugar cane for producing ethanol, there are also crops such as soybeans, coconuts, flax seeds, and rapeseed that can be used to make biofuels. ]

…

“So that’s it.”

Many ancient people in the past dynasties suddenly realized it.

Although they did not understand the specific principles and details, at least they understood the purpose.

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che's eyes were full of thought.

He thought of a question.

That is, if these crops are used to make biofuels, will it affect agricultural safety? Will there be a shortage of food?

According to people in later generations, the benefit of using this so-called biofuel is that it can reduce some pollution.

Is it necessary to consume food for this?

As the emperor of an agricultural society dynasty, Liu Che felt that it was unnecessary.

Although he also knew from the previous video that it was important to protect the environment in later generations.

But in comparison, he still thought that ensuring food security was more important.

……

[Using biofuels produced by agriculture can reduce dependence on oil and reduce the impact of oil price fluctuations on the economy. ]

[What is the relationship between the fuel grown in these fields and gutter oil? ]

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties also had such questions at this time.

We were talking about gutter oil, why did we suddenly turn to biofuel?

Is there any connection between the two?

By the way, people in the past and later generations said that Eagle Sauce Country and those European countries imported gutter oil from Dragon Country in order to refine fuel.

Could it be that they were just trying to purify biofuel from gutter oil?

Some smart ancient people quickly came up with a guess.

……

[Think about it, how many machines in the world need to burn oil? Dragon Country alone has more than 300 million pure fuel vehicles. ]

[If you count agricultural machinery, airplanes, ships, etc., the number will be even greater. ]

[If all of them are converted to biofuel, it will consume a huge amount of agricultural products and occupy a huge amount of land, which is not conducive to food security. ]

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties nodded.

This is indeed a serious problem.

No matter how important environmental protection is, they think it is more important to ensure that people can have enough food.

……

[So, some technologies are moreDeveloped countries have come up with a more reliable solution. 】

[Agricultural products are still served on the table to meet the demand for food first. 】

[After everyone has finished eating, biofuels will be extracted from the remaining scraps, including waste cooking oil. 】

……

“It’s true.”

Although there have been some speculations, many ancient people in the past dynasties were still shocked after being confirmed at this moment.

It was incredible in their eyes that such useful biofuels could be extracted from those dirty and filthy waste cooking oil.

……

[Compared with extracting fuel from crops, converting waste cooking oil is much more difficult. 】

[Because the composition of waste cooking oil is too complex, it not only contains various vegetable oils, but also animal fats, sulfur, chlorine and other impurities that cannot be used. 】

[The waste cooking oil produced by different restaurants and food factories has different ingredients. 】

【Because of this, many countries can successfully convert waste oil into biofuels in the laboratory. 】

【But when it comes to large-scale mass production, it is directly stuck. 】

【At present, only a few countries in the world have truly entered the practical stage, and my country is one of them. 】

……

"The Dragon Kingdom in the future is really amazing!"

In many dynasties, many ancient people exclaimed.

It is really worthy of being the top power in the future, and its scientific and technological level is high.

Although they don’t understand how difficult the specific technology is, they know that it is extremely difficult just by looking at the few countries that have mastered this technology.

And the Dragon Kingdom can master it, which is of course extremely amazing.

……

【As early as 2013, cities such as Shanghai began to pilot B5 diesel, which is 5% of waste oil biofuel mixed with 95% of diesel. 】

[Filling with B5 diesel can reduce the emission of pollutants such as particulate matter by more than 10%, while also reducing carbon emissions. 】

[The early promotion of B5 diesel was limited to buses and sanitation vehicles, but now it is open to the whole society. 】

[There are more than 200 gas stations in the whole city that can add B5 diesel. Compared with ordinary diesel, B5 diesel can be 30 cents cheaper per liter. 】

[Nowadays, one out of every four diesel cars in the city uses B5 diesel. 】

[The next plan is to promote the use of B10 diesel for vehicles, that is, to increase the proportion of waste oil in it to 10%. 】

……

Hearing these large-scale practical application cases of waste oil conversion into biofuels.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were amazed again.

This is enough to prove that the Dragon Kingdom in later generations has really mastered the technology of converting waste oil into biofuels.

"It's really turning waste into treasure."

This thought emerged in many ancient people's minds.

……

[In addition to the field of car use, some waste oil is made into aircraft fuel, which is what we callSo-called bio-jet fuel. 】

[Since the source of gutter oil is plants, and plants themselves absorb carbon dioxide in the air. 】

[Compared with traditional fuels, bio-jet fuel can reduce carbon emissions by more than 50% throughout its life cycle. 】

[Also, more than a decade ago, my country overcame the difficulty of mass production of bio-jet fuel, becoming the fourth country in the world to master this technology. 】

……

"Really amazing!"

"Too strong!"

Many ancient people in all dynasties were once again shocked by the powerful scientific research capabilities of Dragon Country.

……

[Imported passenger planes of major airlines have basically flown with gutter oil, and the effect is good. 】

[On June 5, two domestic passenger planes also completed the gutter oil verification flight at the same time. 】

[And compared with cars running on the ground, airplanes have a more urgent need for gutter oil. 】

【After all, there are many ways to save energy and reduce emissions for cars, such as switching to electric cars. 】

【And an airplane costs hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Whether it is a new one or a modification, the cost is too high, not to mention that there are still many technologies to be tackled. 】

【The simplest solution is to directly change the fuel. 】

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties nodded.

This account is not difficult to calculate.

And from the perspective of operational difficulty, changing fuel is also much simpler.

"But is it necessary to insist on so-called energy conservation and emission reduction?"

Many ancient people actually don't understand it.

Although they have learned a lot of information about environmental protection in later generations from many videos on the giant screen in the sky.

But for these ancient people living in the ancient agricultural society with underdeveloped productivity, they don't think this matter is really that important from the bottom of their hearts.

In their eyes, environmental protection is not as important as having enough food and convenient life.

……

[Also, the pressure on airlines to reduce emissions is indeed great. Currently, carbon emissions from the aviation industry account for about 2% of the world's total emissions. ]

[But as other means of transportation such as cars reduce emissions, this proportion may become higher and higher. ]

[Also, many scientists believe that the contrails left by airplanes in the sky will block the transfer of heat to the upper air, exacerbating climate change, and require airlines to take more responsibility for emission reduction. ]

[For example, the European Union requires that starting next year, the biofuels used by airplanes taking off from airports in EU countries must account for 2% of the total fuel, and by 2050, this proportion must reach 70%. ]

……

"This..."

Although they do not understand this approach, many ancient people in the past dynasties also understand why European airlines attach so much importance to biofuels.

If the government stipulates that the plane will not be allowed to take off if it does not meet the standards, what can the airline do?

The only thing they can do is obey.

……

[The Eagle Sauce Country has also introduced a subsidy and tax reduction policy to encourageAirlines switch to biofuels. 】

[In the past year, Europe alone used nearly 7 million tons of waste oil to make biofuels. 】

[And the waste oil produced on European tables is less than 2 million tons, and the amount that can be collected and used is less than 1 million tons. 】

[The difference is bought from other countries. 】

[The demand in the United States is also increasing. Last year, the import volume of waste oil tripled year-on-year. 】

[As a country with a large population and food consumption, my country produces about 13 million tons of waste oil every year. 】

[For foreigners, it is an oil field with huge reserves, so they come here to buy like crazy. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was also stunned when he saw these data.

It is really unexpected that a country produces more waste oil than the whole of Europe.

But think about it again.

After all, the Dragon Kingdom in the later generations is a large and powerful country with a population of more than one billion. It is not surprising that it has such strength.

… (To read the novel of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

[Turning waste oil into treasure and exporting it to earn foreign exchange sounds very inspiring, but it has also caused concerns among some industry insiders. ]

[Because our waste oil reserves are not as abundant as they seem on the surface. ]

[After cooking, the soup residue is either poured into the sewer or thrown into the trash can. It is difficult to use this part of the waste oil in the community. ]

[Now what can be recycled is basically the oil from restaurants and food factories, which is stored in a centralized manner and has a stable supply. ]

[So, although it seems to be a total of 13 million tons, the actual waste oil production capacity is only about 5 million tons. 】

【When refining, a discount is required. For example, the conversion ratio of bio-jet fuel is about three tons of waste oil into more than one ton of finished products. 】

【What does it mean? 】

【The aviation industry in Longguo now consumes 30 million tons of fuel a year. Even if it can be converted one-to-one, waste oil is far from enough. 】

……

See here.

Many ancient people in all dynasties suddenly understood why some people in Longguo would suggest banning the export of waste oil.

It turns out that they themselves do not have enough.

Therefore, the ancients thought this proposal was very reasonable.

……

【Under such circumstances, we still exported 2 million tons of waste oil to foreign countries last year. 】[]

【Therefore, some people are worried that if this continues, there will be a huge supply gap in waste oil. 】

【On the other hand, the conversion and refining of waste oil can also generate huge economic benefits. 】

[If it is made into biodiesel, it can earn more than 2,000 yuan per ton. When the market is good, it can exceed 4,000 yuan. If it is made into bio-jet fuel, the value will be directly multiplied. 】

[If we directly export this raw material, it is equivalent to handing over the profit to others. 】

……

BigMing Chengzu plane.

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Although he was not a businessman, he understood this principle.

According to the saying of later generations, raw materials can generate greater added value when they are made into commodities.

However.

Compared to making money.

Zhu Di still felt that it was more important to prioritize the consumption needs of Longguo.

……

[Moreover, the biofuel industry of various countries is now in a critical period of promoting technology and expanding production capacity. ]

[Whether there are enough gutter oil raw materials and whether there are enough profits has become the key to development. ]

[It is precisely because of this that industry insiders are anxious to call for restrictions on the export of gutter oil and make early plans for the future. ]

……

See all the reasons.

Many ancient people in all dynasties agreed with the proposal to restrict the export of gutter oil.

They felt that it was very necessary to do so.

……

[Many years ago, when gutter oil was rampant, everyone treated it as a street rat, and everyone hated it. ]

[Who could have thought at that time that gutter oil could be successfully cleaned one day and become a strategic resource that countries around the world are vying for. ]

[The oil you see on the table today will meet you again at a gas station and at the airport in a few days. It is also a wonderful fate. ]

[But at least, it will not meet again in a bowl. ]

……

“. If the people of later generations are right, science and technology are the primary productive forces.”

In the Great Qin plane, Qin Shihuang watched the entire video and sighed in his heart.

It is precisely because of sufficient scientific and technological capabilities that later generations can turn gutter oil, a dirty thing that poisons the people, into a treasure with great effects.

……

In the sky giant screen.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[The most bizarre small country in the world, with constant wars and fragmented territory, has managed to become a developed country! ]

……

The moment I saw the title of this new video.

Many ancient people from all dynasties were shocked.

This is totally against common sense!

They have learned from previous videos what developed countries are in later generations.

This means that the country is rich and prosperous.

How can a country with constant wars and fragmented territory become a developed country?

The ancients really couldn't imagine or believe it.

In their minds, war is equivalent to a picture of thousands of miles of barren land, people living in poverty, and even displaced.

In short, it has nothing to do with prosperity.

Therefore,

The message conveyed by the title of this video made the ancients feel very unreasonable.

But it was precisely because of this.

The ancients became very curious about the content of the following video.

They stared at the giant screen in the sky, want to know what is going on.

……

[As we all know, the most destructive thing in the world is always war. ]

[A war can turn green forests into yellow soil, mountains into bloody seas, and can turn a beautiful family into ashes, and can also make a small town no longer prosperous and devastated, and even make a country disappear. ]

[Countless countries have suffered from the decline of people's livelihood due to war. ]

……

Many ancient people who have experienced wars in all dynasties nodded.

This is indeed the case.

War is so terrible.

And the history of many wars in ancient China also proves this.

War will cause great damage to ordinary people and the entire country.

……

[However. ]

[There is a country that is very strange. 】

[Although it has experienced many wars and its territory has been divided several times, it is very rich and even ranks among the ranks of developed countries. 】

……

"Is this true?"

"Why is this?"

Many ancient people in all dynasties have many questions in their minds.

They looked at the giant screen in the sky more attentively, waiting for the name of this country to be revealed and a detailed introduction.

…Air…

[This country is Cyprus. 】

[It has a beautiful reputation as the "Pearl of the Mediterranean" and is one of the five largest islands in the Mediterranean. 】

[Its geographical location is extremely important. 】

[It is across the sea from Turkey to the north, Syria, Lebanon and Israel to the east, Egypt to the south, and Greece to the west. It is located at the junction of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. 】

[Once Cyprus is occupied, it can not only deter West Asia, North Africa and the Balkan Peninsula, but also control the strategic routes from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea and from the Suez Canal to the Red Sea. 】

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

A huge and clear map of Cyprus and surrounding countries and regions appeared on the high-altitude giant screen.

Many ancient people in all dynasties looked at the map and nodded in agreement. The geographical location of this small island country is indeed very advantageous. .
