Ye Guyun and Luo Qi walked through Crescent City together, they were heading towards the southern city district, and the target was one of the warehouses in the middle of nowhere, of course, it was no longer a warehouse, it had been transformed into a workshop. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Papermaking workshops.

In fact, papermaking has become the top priority in Ye Guyun's heart at present, an obsession that he can't get rid of all the time, an almost demon-like existence.

Ye Guyun needs paper too much, he wants to write a book, and he wants to record his past completely. How complete is it? If possible, he would have chosen to copy all his memories. But this is clearly unrealistic. Therefore, at the very least, we must also record the part of history, humanities, customs, geography, and even the hundreds of schools of thought, mathematics, physics, chemistry, Marxism, Leninism, Mao and Deng that carry our roots as completely as possible!

There is no doubt that this is a huge project, and he may not be able to complete it in his lifetime, but Ye Guyun must do it, without hesitation! Because he doesn't want to forget his roots, don't forget where he came from, he wants to remember all the things that make up a complete self, and he doesn't want to be lost in one other world after another!

Thanks to Eve, this is a spiritual sustenance that she found only after her reminder, and it is precisely because of this spiritual sustenance that Ye Guyun was able to recover from the last inexplicable emotional storm, and he has not had another violent attack since then.

This is important, it is equivalent to a salvation, the salvation of the soul.

Since I was going to write a book, which was a huge work, I would have needed a lot of paper, at least a good amount of paper. However, the parchment paper commonly used in this era was not even a makeshift in Ye Guyun's eyes, the production of this thing was limited, the price was high, and it was easy to turn yellow. As for the other kind, papyrus, it is not even the "paper" in Ye Guyun's concept, it is just a kind of grass that has been specially processed and can be used for writing, which can be understood as an alternative bamboo slip.

Writing a book is undoubtedly about working deeply with paper. Let Ye Guyun and these two be entangled for a lifetime? I'm sorry, he can't do it.

In addition, even if personal factors are abandoned, Ye Guyun has enough reasons to make paper.

First of all, paper will be another lucrative commodity. It is important to know that the current parchment paper is sold in the unit of stacks, knives, and piercings, and the price is still very expensive, if it is black enough, the white paper will be sold at half price in the same way as parchment, and the profits obtained are likely to be enough to surpass the sugar business that has been profitable enough......

Second, papermaking can bring huge political benefits. With sufficient paper, there will be a large number of books, with a large number of books can promote universal education, to be able to implement universal education is equivalent to grasping the right to education, grasping the right to education will have the opportunity to expand the right to speak, the right to speak can be strong can begin to organize a solid public opinion position, with a solid public opinion position, heh, at that time their own invincible position.

Well, to put it simply, paper is a powerful tool for promoting education, and with education, it is good to carry private goods to indoctrinate and brainwash -- ah no! It is to propagate culture and education! In this way, the evil and reactionary small feudal kingdom of the Dominion of Crescent City can survive nourishingly under the pressure of public opinion.

So, paper must be made.

Is it hard to make paper? It's not easy. Nowadays, most of the general flower growers only know the general principle but do not know the specific process, do not know how many steps, where to start. Ye Guyun turned out to be such a little rabbit, but after experiencing two crossings, this little rabbit has evolved several times, at least he now understands every step of the ancient papermaking process enough.

When preparing, Ye Guyun did not choose the type of papermaking, but Luo Qi, who had seen the category, naturally helped him make a decision, giving up the relatively backward hemp paper and "only" making relatively advanced leather paper and bamboo paper. He's meowing, but they're all high-end goods!

Leather paper is represented by rice paper, which is mainly made from specific tree bark (such as Tsubaki tree), while bamboo paper, as the name suggests, uses bamboo. The materials are easy to find, but they are particular about the season, and the bark is best at the turn of spring and summer, and the bamboo is a young bamboo that will produce new leaves. Of course, failing to meet this standard does not mean that it cannot be used for papermaking, but the quality of the finished product may not be so good, don't ask why, the relevant classics that Ye Guyun has read are so emphasized, as a non-engineering student, he has no ability or interest in exploring it clearly. Anyway, remember, it's good to be able to apply.

So, what time of year is it?

Winter ......

However, Roche says that this is not a problem and that all the materials have been prepared to the highest standards......

Well, this is a fantasy world, with all kinds of magical means, and it's not a big deal to get enough anti-seasonal materials, I'll take it, okay?--In his selfish heart, Ye Guyun couldn't help but muttered to himself, isn't it, the Grand Duke still supports a group of druids?

Once the materials are available, it's time to start trial production. The ancient method of papermaking, there is no too high scientific and technological content, come and go is nothing more than those few steps that are not profound, even if it is divided into leather paper and bamboo paper, it is only the difference in materials and individual steps. However, the scientific and technological content is not obvious, another meaning is actually not efficient, such as the first step, the soaking of materials, whether it is the bark of the pond, or the killing of tender bamboo, it takes a lot of time (it generally takes 100 days to finish); How can it be like modern industrial papermaking, using machinery, you can easily turn logs into pulp, and you can copy paper with absolutely uniform specifications.

But no matter what, for this world, the emergence of papermaking is a qualitative change from zero to one from scratch, which is an earth-shattering thing, which turn is the turn of the natives who don't know anything to complain about inefficiency?

Besides, it must be emphasized again that this is a fantasy world, full of all kinds of magic, and here the problem of the low efficiency of ancient papermaking is not necessarily without improvement - at least Roch has been eager to use it on his own initiative.

After learning from Ye Guyun that the early processing of papermaking materials required was long and time-consuming, Luo Qi felt stunned, disappointed, depressed, and even unwilling, unwilling to induce the desire to change, so he used the resources he could mobilize to carry out some special treatment of the papermaking materials that were being soaked, and then, less than half a month later, he told Ye Guyun that the preliminary treatment of papermaking materials had been completed......

Ye Guyun didn't ask what kind of special treatment was used, but judging from the look of pain that unconsciously flashed on Luo Qi's face when he mentioned it, it must have cost a lot, but it could not be repeated, if it weren't for Luo Qi's eagerness to see the kind of high-quality white paper that can be called a strategic material in Ye Guyun's mouth, I'm afraid he would never be willing to pay this excessively high cost.

This trip to the paper factory was to guide the work, how to set up the workshop, and guide the inexperienced craftsmen in every step of the operation...... In short, guide everything about papermaking.

Thinking that he also used the "guidance work" that almost became the proper noun of Jin Mou Fat (can you use three, it will be harmoniously dropped # frightened face) in the first life, Ye Guyun felt very honored.

Finally, I was able to get a little closer to the great man of heaven, the inheritor of Juche thought, the only one in the universe, and the supreme General Kim!

So excited! So excited! So excited......

In the chaos, Ye Guyun stepped into the paper factory.

In fact, the papermaking workshop has done a good enough job of preparation. Is it government-run in the end, with the support of the huge Dominion Government, and the preparations must not be made in a good direction? Ye Guyun can see that the layout of the workshop, all kinds of utensils, all kinds of materials, and everything are basically done in strict accordance with the items listed by themselves. Still, he couldn't say he was satisfied.

Why? Just because you do your best doesn't mean you can do it right!

Looking at the "iron pot" they prepared for steaming, Ye Guyun couldn't cry or laugh.

Can this be called an iron pot?

Regardless of whether it is round and symmetrical enough, it is more than enough to stand in front of you as a shield by the thickness of the door panel! Isn't it just snatched from some hapless warrior? so thick that you can cook something?--well, it seems to be, and it can be used as a ding......

What we want is a pot!

Ye Guyun, who had an attack of obsessive-compulsive disorder, resolutely denied this batch of "iron pots" and redid them. Well, given the fact that no one knows about the iron pot, the job has to be done on oneself in the end. To be honest, he really didn't expect that there would be no iron pot in this world, and with the existing cast iron process, there is no obstacle to the production of iron pot at all, so the decision can only be a matter of thinking.

"So, this idea can only be supplemented by me - well, this is my pot?...... Uh, this "joke" is so cold.

Putting aside the problem of the iron pot, Ye Guyun shifted his attention to the alkali material they had prepared. Alkali is an indispensable key excipient in papermaking, the alkalinity of alkali material, directly related to the efficiency of plant fiber degumming and dispersion, theoretically, of course, it is best to use caustic soda. But at the moment when caustic soda has not even been discovered, lime milk made of high-quality lime is the most suitable and feasible solution. And the lime they prepare, well, is impeccable and fits well with the style of a rich government.

Seeing the lime, Ye Guyun would inevitably think of the Osma master and apprentice who were fooled by himself to study acid-alkali alcohol. Days passed, and I don't know if they had come up with anything.

Although he was curious, in his selfish heart, Ye Guyun didn't think that they could really gain anything, and seriously, in a short period of time, Ye Guyun didn't expect anything from him at all. Before getting the golden finger provided by oneself, chemical research will still be in the same way as the past history, in the same way as the previous history, in the hooded groping, which is no different from hitting the luck, and it is easy to produce results.

So, do you want to hand over your golden finger?

Ye Guyun hasn't made up his mind yet.

He was extremely conflicted, he really needed the huge increase in productivity brought about by the progress of chemistry (and other disciplines), but he was not sure whether he could control the chemical research that would take off all the way after getting the golden finger. At that point, isn't it funny to talk about control?

Then, a group of crazy chemists who lost control...... God knows what terrible thing they're going to come up with?

Ye Guyun always remembers a basic concept: chemistry can not only bring well-being, but also bring destruction.

"Phew, when did you become so compassionate? This is not the attitude of a devil in black!" (To be continued.) )
