Chapter 85 Papermaking

The next day, after Di Mu got up, he felt that he still had to make some writing paper. It just so happened that the school didn't start today, so I hurried out with the orcs to make some out.

Although in primitive societies used turtle shells or stone walls to write stories, animal bones and stones were not easy to write and could only be carved.

Di Mu knew that skipping the slave society directly, or skipping the stage of the oracle bone inscription, was not in line with the historical development trend and process she had learned on the blue star.

But more importantly, since Di Mu knew how to make paper, why did he 'follow the rules' and start by using oracle bones?

It's not a blue star, it's another world that has nothing to do with it at all. She doesn't need to follow the laws on the blue star to define the laws of this world. Even if she doesn't understand the operation rules of the Beast God Continent now, the big deal is that what she does will succeed if it meets the rules, and if it doesn't meet the rules, it will fail, and it is not that complicated. Practice makes sense.

She decided to adopt Cai Lun's improved method of papermaking. The paper created before Cai Lun was prone to breakage and could not be written, and the potions used in modern papermaking did not exist in primitive societies. While she can exchange potions from the System Mall to craft better paper, this is not a long-term solution.

There are five main steps in papermaking.

Soak the raw materials to degum the raw materials to form fibrous.

Steamed and mashed or cut to cut off the fibers to broom. Broomization refers to the phenomenon of fluffing, tearing and filamentization of the fiber cell wall during the beating process.

At this time, the raw materials have formed the appearance of pulp, and they only need to be cooled and fished out with a paper machine, that is, a special grate mat, to be a piece of paper film.

The paper film is stacked one by one, a wooden board is placed on top, and then a heavy stone is pressed to slowly squeeze out the water.

In the last step, you can wait for the paper film to dry naturally, or you can stick the paper film next to the stove to dry.

Hearing that Di Mu said that he was going to make paper today, the orcs all got up early and washed.

They were also very curious about what kind of paper it was, but they didn't have a concept of paper in their minds right now, they just knew that it was something for writing.

Although they don't know what paper is, the belief that 'Dimu's products must be high-quality' makes them very positive.

There is a lot of paper that needs to be made, so in order to improve efficiency, Di Mu simply divided the labor.

A team of orcs is responsible for cutting down trees, and some orcs are responsible for making bamboo grates. The bamboo grate was handed over to Shi Hao's apprentices to do, and Di Mu drew a sketch of a stove for Shi Hao to do. It is indeed a simple picture, a hollow stove, with a fire on the inside and a smooth outside for sticker film.

The method is also simple, just use a more regular stone and a more viscous laterite in the back mountain to build it up, Di Mu made a little comparison with Shi Hao and understood.

The people who went out to cut down trees were all male orcs, and Di Mu also went out to take a look.

The outside was still covered in silver, white, and all the dirt was buried under the thick snow.

Di Mu went out for a spin and went back, now the snow is too thick to see anything, wait for a few days when the snow melts a little and then go out to look for any new food after the cold season. All things are mutually reinforcing, although the cold season has plunged the Beast God Continent into a famine, but they are desperate, and there must be something waiting for them in the corner they haven't seen.

"Where poisonous snakes are infested, there must be an antidote within seven inches." This sentence is not necessarily completely correct, and it only illustrates a high probability event, but it also reflects Di Mu's point of view.

In the cold season of ice and snow, there must be a key that can help them get through the cold season, but they haven't discovered it yet.
