Chapter 50
050 Xu Fu’s return from eastward crossing (seeking flowers for evaluation)
Then, in another room.
A disciple of the Gongshu family quickly ran over.
He said excitedly next to Ying Lan.
“His Royal Highness, the ‘paper’ we developed has been dried!”
Ying Lan’s expression changed and followed behind him.
Quickly came to another engineering station of the “Department of Engineering”.
Inside the courtyard here.
There are several large cisterns.
Inside the cistern is a puddle of mushy liquid with various materials floating in it.
Bark, hemp head, cloth, fishing net.
Most of them have been melted by high temperature and mixed together to form a paste.
In the drying area next to it.
Several sheets of snow-white silk-like flakes were placed, which solidified successfully under the sunlight.
It is the paste after drying that is pressed into flakes.
These snow-white flaky silk objects.
With ink pen, traces can be clearly drawn on it.
It is what Ying Lan calls “paper”.
In “Tian Gong Kai Wu”, the refining process of “paper” is described in detail.
Although Ying Lan does not distinguish between grains, it does not understand these production principles.
However, these disciples of the Gongshu family understand!
They have been immersed in mechanics and natural sciences for a long time.
After reading the content described in “Heavenly Creation”.
Almost self-taught.
After a few experiments, I figured out how to make it.
After trying.
According to the method described above, the pulp was successfully produced.
And on the shelf.
These successfully dried papers are made from the mushy “pulp” in the reservoir.
Reach out to pick up a “paper” and spread it out on the table in front of you.
Ying Lan picked up an ink pen.
On the paper that had just been dried, several Qin Zhuan characters were transcribed.
Clear ink.
The ink did not experience any dip and the writing was good.
“Great Qin Wannian”, four Qin seal characters.
The handwriting clearly appeared on the paper.
Incredibly clear.
“Success!!!”
Seeing this, the people around said excitedly.
“Great! With this thing, in the future, won’t we use those heavy and narrow bamboo slips again?!”
A Hanlin bachelor said excitedly.
“It’s so thin, so thin, it’s really as light as silk, how many words can you write on it!”
Someone touched the “paper” and couldn’t put it down.
Like holding a baby.
“It feels as soft as a feather. If you bind them, wouldn’t you be able to write a lot of content?”
Someone suddenly had an idea and suggested.
His proposal immediately made everyone around him shine.
The mind instantly opened up.
Hearing this, Ying Lan smiled lightly.
It seems that the wisdom of the ancients is still very powerful.
After the paper was developed.
Now, there have been proposals to bind them into “books”.
It is foreseeable that in the future, such ancient and cumbersome things as bamboo slips will no longer have to be used.
All will be replaced by “paper” that is as thin as silk.
Before paper was invented.
When people write, they write on bamboo slips.
Not only is it inconvenient to carry, but also, there are not many words written on a bamboo slip.
Before two or three sentences were written, one bamboo slip was used up.
If you want to describe a book completely, you often need boxes of bamboo slips.
A book is a stack of bamboo slips.
Whether it’s moving or organizing.
It’s all troublesome.
Even, it is easy to be bitten by insects and corroded.
Now.
After having this thing called “paper”.
Everything is going to be different.
“Paper” is not only easy to carry, easy to write, and easy to store.
And, more importantly, it can also be made in large batches!
Just use some discarded bark, hemp head, cloth, fishing net and other raw materials, mix them together and cook.
Afterwards, it is manufactured through the processes of smashing, pounding, frying, and drying, and finally, it is dried in the sun.
paper is done
It is very convenient and fast, and it is also easy to save.
It is not as susceptible to moisture and insects as bamboo slips.
It is conceivable that in the future, after the paper is promoted.
What kind of sensation will it cause to readers all over the world!
as predicted.
On the second day, the “Department of Engineering” of the Hanlin Academy promoted paper in Xianyang City.
This kind of thing called “paper” quickly swept the entire Xianyang City.
All literate literati and scholars all love this thing and praise it.
Bamboo slips are no longer used, or even thrown away.
Because, this thing called “paper” is really convenient for writing!
Used, all said good!
Even the first emperor had noticed this.
After using it twice.
Immediately, an edict was issued to announce that, in the future, all the counties and counties.
All written reports were written on paper, and no cumbersome bamboo slips were used.
Since then, the official status of paper in Daqin has been completely announced!
The Hanlin Academy was rewarded for this, allowing the size of the palace to be doubled and all salaries to be doubled.
Ying Lan was personally awarded by the First Emperor.
Since then, the research and development results of the “Department of Engineering” of the Hanlin University.
It keeps coming out.
The tools that can move and transport automatically, wooden cows and horses.
A magnet guide car that can specify directions.
A loom that spins cotton threads.
A series of novel tools continue to come out.
The birth of every tool will cause a huge sensation in Xianyang City.
Let people sigh their magic.
The “Department of Engineering” of the Hanlin Academy has also become the most magical place in the eyes of the world.
This thriving scene, until half a month later.
With a mysterious warship, it arrived at the Songhai city of Daqin and was on the verge of being broken.
Because, the ace alchemist of the empire, Xu Fu.
Riding a warship, overseas, looking for Xianshan, is back!
At the same time, there was an ominous sign.
