Along with this slogan, Japan launched a nationwide action of digging loose roots. Why? It turns out that Japanese scientists have developed something to replace gasoline, that is? Pine root with high oil content is boiled with fire to get pine root oil, then the pine root oil is distilled to get light oil, and finally the light oil is mixed with alcohol, which is the so-called pine root gasoline. ?
So why is Japan so troublesome? Can't you use oil? Must we dig loose root oil for energy saving and emission reduction? Reduce environmental pollution.
That was not the case. We all realize that the development of oil has made the world develop faster. After the second industrial revolution, oil became an important strategic resource, especially in wartime. Oil is called? Black gold? It's very popular. It is no exaggeration to say that the oil reserves may well determine the direction and direction of the war. This was very obvious in World War II.
During the period of 1943, the United States controlled Japanese oil and bombed the Iwakuni refinery in Japan, resulting in a sharp drop in Japanese oil. They found that although Indonesia controlled a large amount of oil, there was no way to transport it back to China, and its oil production was gradually decreasing, getting worse every year.
1944 Japan's oil imports also decreased several times, from 9.85 million barrels to19.4 million barrels, and then to 80,000 barrels in 1945. The U.S. military used submarines to sink Japanese oil tankers, but the oil shipped to Japan was either sunk at the bottom of the sea or hit in the air.
Without oil, the Japanese also have a headache. What does this mean? It means that many advanced weapons in Japan can't be used, such as countless ships, planes, cars and tanks of the joint fleet. These are war tools that need gasoline. Without oil, it can only be regarded as decoration. Therefore, Japan can only greatly reduce the use of oil.
There was such a scene in Japan at that time. Barbershops in Japan stopped perming and street lamps stopped. Japanese people eat without lights and can't watch TV, but everything related to oil and electricity has stopped. That's why Japanese scientists came up with the idea of digging loose roots instead of gasoline.
Japan has a strong cohesion. Everyone knows that digging loose roots can replace gasoline, and they have organized to dig trees. Even Japanese primary school students volunteered, and each collective unit set the requirements that must be met. At one time, all Japanese pine trees were hollowed out, and pine roots were piled up on the roadside everywhere, and then transported to factories, where skilled operators used distillers and civil cauldrons to boil oil.
Then the question is, can this so-called pine root boiled oil really be used?
After use, I found that the quality of these boiled gasoline is not up to standard, which is too bad. Americans have tried this kind of gasoline. They put it in a jeep and turned it off after running for a few hours. This kind of gasoline has high viscosity, serious carbon deposition and production per gallon? Pine root oil? It takes a long time. Compared with the previous output of 6.5438+0.20 million barrels, it will cost 6.5438+0.25 million labor, so the output is also very low, and only a few hundred tons will be produced after the end of Japan.
But according to the situation in Japan at that time, it was still very good to use.
