When humans enter the industrial age, their demand for energy is increasing.

Coal, oil, and natural gas are constantly being mined and used, especially oil, this flowing black fuel, has become a necessity in modern society.

Oil extraction, transportation, and refining all cost money. When oil appears in front of users as industrial products, it is already very expensive. Although gasoline and diesel in this era only cost two or three yuan, in a few years

Later, when it became an oil importing country, oil prices began to rise continuously. However, considering the income level of people in this era, the prices of these oils were still very high.

So, some people began to think of evil ways.

Oil is too expensive. The cheapest liquid that people have access to is water. So, can water be converted into fuel? If it can be done in this way, it means the emergence of a cheap energy source!

Can?

If the water molecules contain hydrogen atoms in terms of composition, as long as the hydrogen-oxygen covalent bond inside the water molecules can be broken, the hydrogen in the water can be released, thus turning the water into fuel.

However, if you want to break this covalent bond, it means inputting energy, and there will be no perpetual motion machine in the world.

Electrolyzing water to obtain hydrogen is one such method that requires the provision of electrical energy. The same is true for other methods.

Therefore, when in later generations, some old guy claims that he has developed a water-hydrogen car that can turn water into fuel by using a special catalyst, most people will recognize it as a complete fraud.

The deception soon revealed its true form in front of the people across the country.

However, in the 1980s and 1990s, there was another scam that shocked the whole country and deceived many people. This was the famous Hongcheng Base Liquid.

In 1954, Wang Hongcheng, the creator of the Hongcheng fluid scam, was born in a working-class family in Harbin. There was no scholar in the last three generations. He only went to primary school intermittently for four years. He was considered an intellectual in the family.

One, the only junior high school diploma. It was obtained in exchange for pork.

At that time, satellites were being launched all over the country, and the technology of turning water into oil was being studied in the farms nearby. The saponification technology used at that time was even publicized, but after destroying an engine, it was no longer available.

Below.

However, Wang Hongcheng kept this kind of thing in his heart.

Later, Wang Hongcheng worked as a carpenter and in the army, and after demobilization, he became a bus driver. After the country opened, people's minds continued to open up, and Wang Hongcheng's uneasy heart gradually became restless.

Wang Hongcheng, who only has a fourth-grade elementary school education, cannot possibly know the source of oil. He does not know that it is formed from the transformation of prehistoric marine animals and algae corpses in ancient times. In his eyes, these things are just like water, coming from

If it is dug out of the ground, then the water will have a chance to turn into oil! (People of that era really thought so. The father of the Hero of East China, who still had a high school education, also believed that oil and water were the same.

It was beaten underground.)

So Wang Hongcheng started to do it. Perhaps in the past, he had lofty ideals and struggled for life to obtain a cheap energy source for mankind. However, after experiencing countless failures, he began to use tricks.

.

It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, as long as others believe it.

So, Wang Hongcheng held some unknown liquid and announced grandly that he had invented Hongcheng base liquid! This special mother liquid only needs to be mixed with water at a ratio of one to one hundred thousand to obtain water-based fuel. This kind of fuel

Not only can it be ignited at a moment's notice, but the energy it produces is much higher than ordinary gasoline and diesel!

This fuel, which is converted from water into oil, will not cause pollution to the environment after burning, and has considerable environmental value. This is our "China's fifth greatest invention."

Of course no one believed it at first, and some people started to go to Wang Hongcheng's home to ask for confirmation. So Wang Hongcheng performed it himself. When people watched the magical scene of water turning into oil, they believed it.

Wang Hongcheng is not a scientist, but he is definitely an awesome magician. Playing tricks with his wife by substituting others is so clever! It is much better than the magic pot performed by a certain magician in the Spring Festival Gala.

For example, in front of everyone, he would drop his own Hongcheng fluid into the water, and then set the water on fire.

It may seem fancy, but in fact there are many ways, such as adding calcium carbide, which is calcium carbide powder, into water. The calcium carbide powder reacts with water to produce and burn acetylene, and acetylene has some flammable properties.

In addition, you can also drop gasoline directly into the water. Since the density of gasoline is smaller than that of water, it floats on the water. As long as it encounters an open flame, the oil in the upper layer will naturally ignite.

Although this kind of experiment would be seen through by professional people, Wang Hongcheng was very smart and invited non-professional and famous people. After seeing it, those people felt that it was very magical and would promote him.

In this way, his fame continued to expand. Although many people in the scientific community were questioning it, Wang Hongcheng never responded. He only wanted to deceive the people he could.

I just don’t know why this guy came to Huating. Does he think he can deceive people here?

In the 1990s, there were many famous swindlers, such as Qigong masters. However, everyone knew that Qigong masters lied to people. Those people may not have known that what they valued was not the ability of Qigong to cure diseases and transport, but what they valued

It is the network of relationships behind Qigong masters.

What about Hongcheng’s base fluid? It’s a complete hard-core lie!

Qin Tao was very emotional.

"What is this meeting for?" Now that they have met, Qin Tao has to ask. After all, it is not easy to deceive the Huating City Government with Hongcheng Base Liquid!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In order to launch new projects and solve energy problems, the city wants to start this project, so it plans to develop expanded fuel. At the same time, the Navy also plans to invest

…”

Snapped!

Qin Tao slapped his hand on the table hard. Even if he lied to others, he actually dared to lie to the navy?

The navy is very struggling. The current military expenditure is tight. In addition to the salary of personnel, there are also the construction of several warships, and the funds are gone. Therefore, most of the warships are parked in the port all year round. The navy is also very interested in cheap fuel.

longing for.

If this kind of thing is really added, the warship's engine will be scrapped!

"Mr. Qin?" The people around him were startled.

"Can I attend this meeting?" Qin Tao asked.

Mr. Yan shook his head: "When you come over, this meeting will be over. There is no need to go. However, if you want to know the content of the meeting, I can go and inquire."

Qin Tao nodded: "Okay."

It is estimated that no specific agreement will be reached at this meeting, so it is better to wait and see how things change.

"Mr. Qin, depending on the time, it's almost time to have lunch, why don't we show our friendship as landlords?" Mr. Yan asked Qin Tao.

"Well... let's go to the student cafeteria and let me experience it too." Qin Tao said.

Although Qin Tao is also a college student, the Shipbuilding Industry College he went to is simply not comparable to the university in front of him. It is several grades behind.

Since you're here, you might as well have a meal in the cafeteria here to get over the addiction of being a student. Anyway, Qin Tao hasn't graduated for a few years. If he was a graduate student, he would probably still be hanging around in the university.

"Since Mr. Qin is interested, let's go to the cafeteria to experience it." Mr. Yan agreed with a smile. Although Qin Tao was already the boss of a group, this gesture made Mr. Yan very satisfied.

A group of people walked to the canteen.

Although it was already time to eat, there were not many people in the cafeteria. It was obvious that many students were still studying and had forgotten the time to eat.

Even people in the cafeteria are eating and reading at the same time.

The academic atmosphere of this university is so strong.

"Bring me a portion of Kung Pao Chicken, a portion of tomatoes and eggs, and three ounces of rice." Qin Tao pointed and ordered a few of his favorites. As for paying the bill, that was not his concern.

Holding the dinner plate, Qin Tao sat in front of a table, and then looked at Mr. Cao opposite.

"Old man, it's better to be vegetarian, something lighter is better. Your braised lion's head is made of meat, so it's not very good. I'll help you eat it." After saying that, Qin Tao actually took Mr. Cao's braised lion's head over.

Mr. Cao's face was full of smiles: "I have long heard that Mr. Qin has no airs and can make friends with old guys like us. It is true."

They are all technical authorities. They usually treat others respectfully when eating. How have you ever seen Qin Tao like this? He actually picked food from his own plate and ate it. However, this kind of behavior made Mr. Cao even more jealous.

Inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Qin Tao smiled: "Mr. Cao, it's my honor to be friends with you. I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."

At this moment, a student of Yan Lao hurried over: "I heard it, I heard it. In order to prove the performance of Hongcheng base fluid, an on-site demonstration will be held at the Xincheng swimming pool tomorrow. A large

The water in the pool is turned into fuel on site.”

A big pool?

This magician is about to start performing again!

"In this case, I must go and join in the fun tomorrow." Qin Tao said, "I want to see with my own eyes what is weird about this."

"I'll go too!" Mr. Cao said.

"Are you going too?"

"That's right, we scientific people should go and unveil the magic stick with our own hands!"

Although Hongcheng base fluid has been widely publicized in the society, some places have even taken the bait and invested a large amount of money in Wang Hongcheng, and there are even local vehicles using this expanded fuel. However, in the scientific community, there is little understanding of this

Everything is viewed with suspicion, and it can even be determined directly that this thing is definitely fake.

"For so many years, Hongcheng Base Liquid has been promoted everywhere and attracted investment. However, we have never seen this kind of thing put into mass production and use. We brag about the fifth great invention every day, so let's go and reveal its true face!" Mr. Yan also said

Then he said.

"It's strange to say that this is obviously a liar. Why do so many people still believe it?" Wang Hua asked, sitting at the table next door.

So many people believe it? Qin Tao had a sarcastic smile on his face: "Have you read The Emperor's New Clothes?"

This is a famous fairy tale. Two liars went to deceive the emperor. They obviously had nothing, but they said that they were weaving the most beautiful cloth. Only smart people can see it. So, no one exposed the liar's lie.

Afraid of being thought a fool.

Even the emperor was deceived and paraded naked in the streets, but a child finally revealed the truth.

This is of course the case as well.

Some people may have been deceived, and some may have realized that it is a scam. However, if the lie is exposed, then they have been negligent. They may just continue to help promote it and let more people believe it.
