As the spell was completed, the surface of the central reactor in the workshop was suddenly covered with a layer of smoke, accompanied by a series of humming sounds from high-frequency vibrations of wood chips and water mist.

As Xia Duo adjusted the intensity and angle of the shattering force field, the smoke quickly fell into the pool, infecting the clear pool water with a yellow-brown distorted abstract pattern.

Immediately afterward, more wood chips were dismantled and mixed with the water, turning the otherwise clear reactor into a muddy one.

After that, Xia Duo continued to throw scattered small wooden blocks into the reaction cell while holding on, until the mixture in the reaction pool reached a certain concentration, and he stopped, explaining:

"This is the original wood pulp! Paper can also be made in this state, but the paper is very loose, so there must be a subsequent pickling step! As for how much wood can be put into the pulp at one time, there is not much limit, as long as it is not too thick, and you can slowly discover and improve it in the subsequent manufacturing. ”

In fact, there is a specific number of how much water and how much wood is put into the papermaking process.

However, the Arcane Empire was also unable to produce paper that could be used to make magic scrolls, so Xia Duo simply didn't say anything about it, and let them try, maybe there would be something extra!

Then, Xia Duo continued to cast the spell in the papermaking series, and in the process, in addition to the slightly lighter color of the wood pulp, the thickness of the wood pulp also found some subtle changes.

After passing by again, the color of the wood pulp became lighter again, and then Xia Duo stopped again and explained:

"At this point, even if the wood pulp is completely concocted, the next step is to shape and dry, I won't demonstrate the spell, I'll demonstrate another way, and this is what you will often come into contact with in the future."

In fact, the previous steps can also be completed by non-magic, but Xia Duo is in a hurry, if he doesn't use spells, it will take a lot of time just to crush the wood to make raw wood pulp, which is beyond his imagination.

……

Taking out a square sieve that was not much larger than a human head from the carry-on space, Xia Duo walked directly to the edge of the reaction pool, squatted down and used the sieve to simmer up and down in the wood pulp a few times, and finally raised it gently while lying flat.

After taking out the sieve, Chardo explained to Cecily, Garnal, and the others, "This is undried paper!" If you make your own paper in the future, you can choose to dry it, but I will show you the results directly here! ”

As he spoke, Xia Duo directly attracted the air above the sieve, accelerating its flow, and at the same time dispersing the moisture in the air and increasing the volatilization of water on the sieve.

In the blink of an eye, the pulp on the sieve dried at a speed visible to the naked eye, after which Shado removed the pulp paper from the sieve and handed it to Cecily.

"That's papermaking!"

"Is this true?"

Even though she had seen the whole process of making paper, and the paper was already in her hands, Cecily still felt a little incredulous when she touched this faintly wet wood pulp paper.

She looked at the paper in her hand in a daze, unable to speak for a while.

And Garner and the low-level mages in the Magic Lab were also a little stunned, such a size of parchment paper cost about 2 silver coins, which is about a day's salary of an ordinary person.

And the same size of elf paper is twice the price of parchment.

They knew that elf paper was made by elves from plants, but now they were shocked to see that Xia Duo had made a legendary elven paper so easily.

"The cost of this piece of paper, if there is no spell involved at all, the cost may be less than 1 copper coin, but I suggest that the pickling and neutralization process is better completed by the spell, so that the quality is not too difficult to grasp, as for the cost, it is also no more than 1 copper coin!"

Of course, this cost is the cost of large-scale manufacturing, if it is only a small amount of production, then it is not necessarily, just like now, how much does it cost to renovate this workshop, and how much does it cost to cast spells and time for Xia Duo, an arcane master.

"My lord, is this elf paper?" Cecily asked suddenly.

"Yes and no, what's the difference?"

Xia Duo took out a so-called elf paper, flicked it twice at random, and put it in Cecily's hand, "The purpose of the paper is nothing more than writing or making magic scrolls, there is no need to think about anything else." ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Garner on the side, took out a thin booklet from his personal space and handed it to the other party, and then said:

"I have demonstrated the basic process of papermaking just now, and now I will give you the complete process, including the spell version and the non-magic version, the magic technician will master it as soon as possible, and the daily writing paper of the Tower of Time depends on you!"

"Leave it to us?" Garner held the pamphlet in his hand, his expression surprised.

"Yes, over to you, I hope you don't let me down!"

After saying that, Xia Duo was not ready to stay longer, and called Cecily, who was still a little out of state, "Take me to the warehouse!" ”

"Oh, good!"

At this time, Cecily came back to her senses, and thinking of what Xia Duo had just said, she immediately realized a problem, the Tower of Time was almost about to be able to mass-produce elf paper!

And it's still very cheap elf paper, which makes Cecily's mind dizzy, how much money should this make!

Until she took Xia Duo to the vacated warehouse, Xia Duo filled the warehouse with a large number of logs, she gradually calmed down, thought of the previous secrecy, and asked a little unwillingly:

"My lord, can't we sell these papers to anyone else?"

"Absolutely!"

Xia Duo gave her a strange look, "However, at least after the basic needs of the Tower of Time have been met!" ”

Don't look at the nearly 1,000 people in the Tower of Time now, they can barely use parchment paper to maintain daily consumption, but when they know that the new paper is cheap, the consumption is no longer what it is now!

Parchment paper can be scratched and rewritten repeatedly, plus the price is expensive, so that there can be such a low consumption, but the new wood pulp paper can not be scratched repeatedly, and can only be used once.

But compared with parchment, the price of a few tenths can completely offset the reusability of parchment, and it can save all writing records, who wants to scratch it repeatedly!

It can be expected that when new paper appears, it will definitely set off a frenzy of paper use.

In addition to the Tower of Time, there are also Saville Collar and Daxia Collar, and there are many places where paper is used, and it is far from the time to sell it to the outside world.

In addition, selling a lot of cheap paper now is also easy to cause all kinds of trouble, although Xia Duo is confident to face it, but wouldn't it be better to have less!
