Chapter 183: The Mark of Civilization
"Huh!"
Elena shook her head, the Mo family and the public loser are the best at inventing and manufacturing, Xia Ye actually said that the things made can make them break their heads and rush to buy them, this bull is a bit big.
After the bamboo material is boiled, put it into a stone mortar, lick it into a mud shape with force, and then add a moderate amount of water to mix it, so that the bamboo fiber is completely separated and soaked in water, and then the slurry is poured into the wooden trough, and the curtain made of bamboo is filtered in the slurry, and a layer of paper film is formed on the bamboo curtain.
This process requires the experience accumulated by craftsmen over many years, otherwise the formed paper will either be too thin or too thick.
After the filtration is completed, the bamboo curtain is laid upside down on the wooden board, and the bamboo curtain is carefully removed, and the paper film will fall on the board.
Repeat the two steps of filtration and inversion, and wait until the fifty sheets of paper film are covered, cover the wooden board, and squeeze it with a heavy object to drain the water in the paper film.
The final step is drying.
The whole papermaking process is not complicated, but in practice, there will always be all kinds of small mistakes, after all, the female warriors are making paper for the first time, and it is inevitable that they will be in a hurry.
In the beginning, the bamboo paper was either too thick and wasteful, or too thin, fragile, torn, and very unstrong, but as the papermaking continued, the female warriors gradually became proficient.
Lu Lingxi is full of interest in the birth of any new thing, not only the first to be familiar with the production process, but also not disgusted by the dirty smell of bamboo pulp, hands-on, fighting on the front line.
After Xia Ye saw that Lu Niang was doing better than herself, he asked her to be an overseer and seize the time to meditate and practice.
Xia Shilian's banquet, Xia Ye must participate, and he doesn't know what will happen at that time, so the higher the strength, the better.
"At least enter the Mixed Yuan Realm as soon as possible!"
Because of the relationship between the bloodline being sacrificed, Xia Ye's previous cultivation speed was too slow, and he fell too much, but fortunately, he got the heart of the spring water to repair his body, coupled with the god-level skill Dragon Returning Technique, he could catch up, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to catch up with Xia Wei's genius, let alone deal with those adult heroes of the Xia clan.
By the stream, Xia Ye sat cross-legged, and the summer breeze blew on his face, bringing a sense of comfort.
Xia Ye took out a red vitality stone the size of a goose egg and placed it on the ground in front of him, which was the largest one in his harvest.
This kind of Yuan Qi Stone is very rare, and you can see a liquid mass of something inside that beats like a heart, and that is the Yuan Qi Pulse Spirit.
Through the secret method, the wizard can transplant the pulse spirit to himself, so he can absorb the vitality through the pulse spirit anytime and anywhere without meditation.
Yuan Qi is the root of a wizard, and he can even absorb it when he eats and sleeps, and he knows that he will have a lot of advantages when he thinks about it with his knees.
Xia Ye took a deep breath, opened the Great Wilderness Ten Thousand Souls Sutra, and injected his divine sense into it.
Rumble!
The scroll shook slightly, lighting up with a layer of golden light, and then with a bang, a golden arrow shot out and pierced the Yuan Qi Stone.
The tail of the arrow was also connected to a golden chain, and after hitting the Yuan Qi Stone, it dragged the pulse spirit out stiffly.
Chirping!
A shrill cry rang out.
Rumble!
A tide of spiritual coercion spread, this is the pulse spirit struggling, but unfortunately it is useless, and after a few seconds, it is pulled into the scripture.
"Huh, that's it?"
Seeing that the light of the scroll dimmed, Xia Ye had a black line in his head, could it not be that the Great Wilderness Ten Thousand Souls Sutra would treat it as a psychic beast and surrender it, right?
"Is it a waste?"
Xia Ye flipped through the general outline, his fingers slid over, and he found the vertical grid imprinted with the pulse spirit, and suddenly felt distressed.
Vein spirit is very precious, and it is not necessary to harvest two or three pieces in a vein, so it is a very important strategic material.
Xia Ye was unwilling, and just as he was thinking about how to get the pulse spirit out, a golden arrow suddenly shot out from the scroll.
Burst!
Runs through the heart of Natsuno.
Poof!
Xia Ye immediately convulsed, and fell to the ground with his right hand covering his chest, and at that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his body, as if he had been tortured by eighteen kinds.
Sweat soaked through Natsuno's clothes.
With the heart as the core, the golden lines spread out on Natsuno's body like blood vessels, and when they spread all over the body, they were like magnets, and they immediately began to attract vitality.
Buzz! Buzz!
The golden lines disappeared one after another, as if breathing, and in the process, a large amount of vitality was swallowed, but after a few minutes, it tended to flatten out.
In the end, the golden lines disappeared, but the absorption of vitality did not, although it was much smaller, but it continued to absorb in an orderly manner, just like a stream in a mountain stream, although the flow was not large, but the thin water flowed for a long time, and it would be a terrifying value for a year.
"It's worthy of the Great Wilderness Ten Thousand Souls Sutra, the transplantation is too perfect!"
Lu Lingxi stood beside him, raised the back of his hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Huh!"
Xia Ye jumped up, felt the condition of his body, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, his divine sense actually skyrocketed again, and he stepped into the sixth order.
"It's like a windfall, picked up for nothing. ”
"What kind of white picking? Judging by the density of the golden lines on your body, this vein spirit is definitely thousands of years old, and no matter what secret technique is used to transplant it, it is impossible to completely retain the absorption effect, but you use the Bible, and it seems that you have retained it all. ”
Lu Niang rolled her eyes: "Such a superb pulse spirit, you shouldn't use it now, if you stay in the time of refining the body and the Great Perfection of Divine Consciousness, it will definitely allow you to step into the Mixed Yuan Realm at one time." ”
"Ugh!"
Xia Ye grabbed his hair, and didn't care: "It doesn't matter, use it early and upgrade early!"
"You're pretty open-minded!"
Lu Lingxi joked, in his heart, he actually admired Xia Ye's character, which was much more attractive than the kind of man whose mother-in-law and mother kept regretting it.
"Hey, hey!"
Xia Ye is embarrassed, after all, this is praised by a big beauty.
"Actually, I don't blame you, you don't have a good teacher to teach you, and it's already amazing to be able to get to this point by yourself. ”
Lu Niang looked at Xia Ye: "If you have any problems with cultivation in the future, you can come to me." ”
"Really?"
Xia Ye looked overjoyed, immediately hit the snake with a stick, and bowed: "Hello Teacher Lu!"
Xia Ye has a lot of knowledge in his head, but it's all astronomy, geography, physics and chemistry, and at most he has the names of some small movie heroines, but it's useless for cultivation!
Xia Ye, who came from the pre-cataclysmic era, of course knew how important a famous teacher was to students, but with his status as a poor ghost in the slums, he couldn't find a teacher at all.
In this era, there is a serious discontinuity in knowledge, not to mention the great prophet, even the second-level great wizard, Xia Ye can't see it.
Xia Ye still doesn't know the rank of Lu Niang, but she has the courage to travel alone in the wasteland, and she is very powerful to think about, as for knowledge, Lu Niang is a great prophet and belongs to the wise.
"Don't call me teacher, I'm just giving you some advice!"
Lu Lingxi stepped out of the way.
"How's that going to work?"
Xia Ye was anxious.
"I'm not qualified to be your teacher!"
Lu Lingxi verbally refused.
"Huh?"
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, trying to restrain the thought of joy, but a smile still overflowed from his face.
Lu Lingxi said that if there is something you don't understand in the future, you can ask her, doesn't it mean that she is going to settle in Chaoge?
"You're not disgusted with me, are you?"
Lu Lingxi smiled, Xia Ye was really smart, as soon as he saw his expression, Lu Niang knew that her thoughts had been seen through.
"How come, I welcome you to live for the rest of your life!"
Xia Ye wanted to shout excitedly, his Minister of Education finally has it, and she is still a big beauty, but this green body is good if you can change it.
"Chaoge is a good place for outstanding people, I want to stay for a few more years!"
Lu Lingxi was blunt.
"Let's go, let's see what we do!"
Xia Ye jumped up, he knew that the manufacture of bamboo paper must have been successful, otherwise Lu Lingxi would not stay.
Sheets of white paper were laid out on the bamboo strips and dried in the sun, and the female warriors gathered around, caressing them as if they were looking at treasures.
"It's so smooth!"
"It's so white!"
"I don't know why, it's comfortable to watch!"
The female warriors were talking.
"But the taste is average, it's still the same as before. ”
The fruit tore a small piece and threw it into his mouth: "It's not delicious!"
"Hey, that's because you can't taste it!"
"Yes, it's definitely not like that, it needs to be cooked!"
"I think it's delicious!"
Because of the fruit's actions, the female warriors also began to taste it.
"Huh!"
Lu Lingxi couldn't help but laugh, although Xia Ye didn't say anything, but she almost guessed the purpose of these items called 'white paper'.
"It's not food!"
The corners of Xia Ye's mouth twitched, could it be that he had already put on the title of a foodie? What are you doing to eat?
"Huh, not for food?"
When the female warriors heard this, they subconsciously spit out the paper ball in their mouths.
"What kind of taste do you guys have? I think it's delicious!"
Lily tore another slice and put it in her mouth.
"It's over, Lily won't have a paper addiction, will she?"
Natsuno glanced at the long-haired girl who looked like Emma Watson, and he had heard that some people liked to eat paper and couldn't stop it.
"Big brother, what is this 'paper' for?"
Little Lori asked.
"Writing and recording, you can understand, are a substitute for bamboo slips!"
Natsuno explained.
"Huh?"
The female warriors were stunned and couldn't help but question.
"This paper is too soft, isn't it?
"That's it, how do you carve this thing up?"
"What are you bothering about that? The Great Chief must have thought of it!"
Girls can also think, but the times limit their thinking, so that they can only see what is in front of them.
"Soft and light means that it is easy to disseminate, and from now on, the speed of knowledge will be many times faster!"
Lu Lingxi explained.
"Yes, the bamboo slips are too bulky, not to mention the trouble of lettering, because of the relationship between the area, it is impossible to engrave a few words, a thousand-character text, calculated, you need to pile up a carriage of bamboo slips, and use white paper, at most two chapters will be done, after writing to the pocket, you can take it wherever you want, unlike bamboo slips, if you show others, you have to drive an ox cart!"
In the future, needless to say, Xia Ye is time-consuming, laborious and expensive to drive the ox cart, and the cattle don't need to be fed, and the people who have the ox cart must also be the middle class.
The sensitivity of the female warriors is not good, but Elena and Lu Lingxi are shining in their eyes, an era wants to develop, a civilization wants to progress, they are all based on knowledge!
It can be said that the paper bears the imprint of civilization!
