A few days after dealing with the Hornhoofed Erect Civilization, the vine tooth and the vine tooth came to visit and reported that the task assigned by the speaker had been completed.

So, Bladefang went with them to inspect it.

It is still a tree, and when the vine teeth open its surface, its interior reveals a smooth and large curved surface.

The tooth stepped forward, fumbled with his fingernails for a while, then pulled a corner open and pulled outward;

The smooth curved surface, like a toilet paper roller in the previous life, extends outward.

"Your Excellency, this is what we have done." Said as the vine tooth reached out to the pulled out, yellowish object.

"We used a blend of long and short fibers, where the long fibers are responsible for its integrity and the short fibers are responsible for blocking the diffusion of the dye; After trying what you call 'writing', good results were obtained. ”

From his coat, he took out a roll of what looked to be the same material as the object in the tree, handed it to Bladefang, and explained it.

The blade tooth took it, feeling its texture;

It feels very solid to the touch, and the feel is similar to some special letterheads from his previous life;

It's still a little thicker than manuscript paper, but it seems to be enough for today's tribes.

solemnly unfolded the roll, and a standard rectangle of twenty centimeters square appeared in his hand;

On it, in the not-so-beautiful troll language, it reads, 'To His Excellency the Speaker.'"

Bladetooth smiled dumbly, but he was used to the goblins of the witch doctors, and instead focused on the writing effect.

The dye used is dark green, and it looks okay against a yellow background;

The font structure is complete, and there is no mold lake caused by smudging, horizontal fold hooks and other comparisons are clearly visible.

The blade teeth turned it over, and it was found that behind the carrier, there was no penetration.

"How thick would it be if two hundred pages were combined?"

"Each sheet is 0.03 centimeters, and two hundred sheets are about 6 centimeters."

"Yes, it's already very good, you're doing a great job!"

Bladetooth returned the sample and went back to the new species it had been prepared for, taking a closer look.

It is still commonly used by the tribe in 'cavity manufacturing', and the carrier is set to a natural roll pattern;

In order to facilitate separation, at every square meter of area, some immediate marks are left behind.

The blade tooth gently pulled diagonally along the seam, and a complete piece of 'paper' was torn off.

"How much can I produce?" Flipping the square meter of 'paper' in his hand," he asked.

"A tree can mature in about the fifth year of planting without magic; The kind of regulation in your hands will produce three thousand sheets a month at that time; ”

"What about the preparation of seeds?"

"The structure of the spell is not very complicated, and after the transformation technique is skilled, without considering the growth, a witch doctor can produce 2 pills per lamp;"

"But it's not a hassle to grow to full maturity, and it only takes ten minutes for each seed to turn into what you see now."

Mantooth pointed to the finished plant and said,

"Of course, this is just to make the tree have production capacity, and the production of finished products inside needs to be calculated additionally."

Bladefang was satisfied, and just as he was about to propose something to reward them both, the tribe didn't seem to be able to give them any material rewards.

Send money?

The witch doctors don't have to worry about eating and drinking, the treehouses are also distributed by the tribe, and the luxuries are not to mention..... What's the use of them asking for money?

This made him a little embarrassed....

Now that I think about it, it seems that this is not the only case for these two.

Even during and after the previous 'cell research', and even many previous achievements, the council naturally ignored the salaries and rewards of the witch doctors.

And the witch doctors, on the other hand, seem to have a strong sense of ownership, and they don't take 'doing day jobs' seriously, as if it's a matter of course.

In addition, I don't seem to have received a salary or reward, and I have never felt unbalanced in my heart.

'In that case, let it go first?' Is it too late to improve when you really need incentives in the future? “

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable way to execute it, so I didn't think about it anymore and decided to go with the flow.

"What are your plans? Do you want to go back to the Brain Institute and the Spinal Cord Institute? ”

The couple looked at each other, nodded after a moment, and said,

"We wanted to try it, and the previous research was interesting.....

"Yes, I support you, tell me what the research institute lacks, and I will try my best to meet your needs."

"Definitely! Certain! ”

After that, the naming rights of the new carrier of the text were handed over to the vine tooth and the vine tooth couple by the Rune Council;

They used some syllables of their names to create a new pronunciation that approximated 'kavi';

And also took a part of the troll words such as "tree" and "fiber" to form a new word, which was specifically used to refer to this new thing.

All in all, on this day, the Black Forest trolls finally had the concept and substance of 'paper'.

With paper, you need the right writing tools and printing techniques.

When rattan and vine teeth were first tried, they were simply written on small twigs, which required frequent dying, which meant that it was not very convenient.

In this regard, Blade Tooth thought of the 'quill pen' from his previous life....

He remembered that it seemed to use the natural structure of the feathers of birds to absorb ink and write?

It just so happens that the tribe also has a kind of 'oviparous free-range chicken", whose feathers are long feathers with flocculent silk in the hollow, which may be suitable for use.

This is the smaller of the two breeded animals that were originally identified;

The turkey is similar in size to the previous life, about ten kilograms, which is considered a kind of meat supplement for the tribe, so it is not a problem in the supply of materials.

So, Bladetooth plucked a few feathers and asked the apprentices to try it.

After a series of simple processing of 'boiling and cutting', it was found that it was really usable, and it was determined that it was a standard writing instrument at this stage.

Of course, this so-called 'standard' is only for the convenience of uniform distribution to schools and the government;

It doesn't really matter what other trolls like to use, as long as it makes the reader understand what you're writing.

In terms of printing technology, Blade Tooth proposed two concepts, engraving and living engraving, and handed them over to interested apprentices to ponder, together with Yin and Yang engraving.

After the most critical problem of thinking was solved, the manufacture of primitive engraving and movable characters was not too difficult, and it did not take long to achieve the success of "wooden living body" and "wooden engraving plate".

Although there are many defects such as difficulty in hanging ink, unstable font display and printing, etc., it is enough for today's needs.

As a result, as the paper-making trees were born to maturity and the characters were carved out, the 'Black Forest No. 1 Printing Factory' came into being.

Its production capacity was occupied by 'textbooks' at the beginning, while the content of witch doctors' spells, government documents, etc., were placed in a more secondary position.

Of course, these were developments a few months later, long before the 'debut' of paper was taken over by a letter....
