Chapter 52 Papermaking

riverside.

"Xiao Lin... thank you very much."

Aofu looked at his disciple and said with emotion: "If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would be able to break through the Star Glory level."

Star Glory, below Legend, is the level closest to Legend.

Legends and gods are like stars, and the meaning of starlight is that it already possesses part of the legendary power.

And after Starlight, there is legend.

Level 20, to level 21.

It was a big hurdle, and countless stars and gods were trapped.

Once you cross that hurdle together, the sky is high and birds can fly.

"Teacher, what I just said is not important. What is important is the path you have traveled and those accumulations. That is the key to your promotion."

Lin Ke is sincerely happy that his teacher can make a breakthrough.

Not only because of the relationship between teacher and disciple, it also means that Lin Ke's backstage is a bit tougher.

Xinghui, that is Xinghui level!

It can be said to be the strongest under the legend.

"The road I have walked through before would not have been possible without your push..."

Aof was cheerful and happy, with happiness written all over his face: "Okay, let's go for a walk. Don't you want to make paper out of plant fibers?"

Lin Ke was also very happy, but there were other aspects of happiness: "Teacher, maybe I need to trouble you a little bit... Well, I mean, can you stop meditating for a while?"

He was quite embarrassed.

Aof agreed without hesitation: "Yes, after reaching level 15, or even level 10, meditation is not that important. What is important is to get professional feedback."

Lin Ke breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, teacher, I suddenly found another thing that may be useful." He pointed to the crystal under Auf's feet.

"Huh? What happened to the sand?"

Aof looked at his feet in confusion: "It's just some shiny sand. It doesn't have the hardness of diamonds. It just looks good, but it doesn't have much use."

really.

According to the value of force in this world and the fires, thunder and lightning that occur from time to time, in fact, porcelain and glass should have been invented a long time ago.

If Lin Ke hadn't known the purpose of glass in advance, he would probably have ignored those shiny things.

"Teacher, do you want to make a bet?"

Lin Xiao smiled.

"Oh? What bet? What bet?"

Ao Fu looked at Xiao Lin Ke with interest.

"I bet this thing is as useful as diamonds in research, and in many cases is even more useful than diamonds."

Lin Ke pointed to the mixture of sand and glass.

Aof looked at his feet and then at Lin Ke's expectant eyes: "Okay, what's the bet?"

"Bet? If I win, the teacher will promise me to be a worker for four months, specializing in manufacturing this thing. If I lose, well..."

Lin Ke thought about it.

What if he loses? He won’t lose!

But there must be a stake.

But Auf doesn't lack anything.

It is Lin Ke who needs Aofu, not Aofu who needs Lin Ke.

"If I win, you have to give me the first gold coin you earn." Aofu chuckled and said, "Our Xiao Linke should be able to earn money by himself, right?"

"Teacher!" Lin Ke immediately raised his head, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Okay!"

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Auf asked.

Lin Ke originally planned to go back and study how to make paper, but now that glass is available, it would be better to build a glass factory.

But he needed to go back and recall the glass manufacturing process.

"Teacher, you need some tools to make this kind of thing. We will do it tomorrow. Please help me build another factory today."

Lin Ke pointed to the open space next to the paper mill.

This place is extremely spacious. One of the reasons why Lin chose to locate here is because of its large area.

Off: "Is it exactly the same?"

Lin Ke nodded, and a similar building rose from the ground under Auf's control.

The production process of the glass factory and the paper mill are different, and in fact the buildings should not be the same, but some details can be adjusted after everything is gathered.

After finishing, Lin Ke and Ao Fu returned to the roof of the castle.

The top of the castle is extremely spacious and is a circular platform. Only the top of the arrow tower can be seen. Looking around the castle, you can have a panoramic view. The scenery is good.

It's just that the wind is a bit strong.

In the future, if Garrose gets a few more wives and gives birth to a few more children, then this platform will become the sixth floor, and then it will be built on top.

Auf and Lin Ke landed, and the man on duty on the arrow tower took one look at them before continuing to cast his gaze into the distance. He was very competent.

At this time, there were some boilers, bark mats, wooden sticks for stirring and other equipment on the platform.

The production of the original plant fiber paper was not difficult. What was difficult was the improvement and evolution in several processes before it finally became something like A4 paper in later generations.

Papermaking requires cooking plant fibers to separate raw materials, and then beating them to make pulp.

Finally, the paper pulp is soaked with water to form a slurry, and then the pulp is scooped out with a bamboo mat, so that the pulp is interwoven into thin sheets of wet paper on the paper scooper, and finally dried to become paper.

Auf knew that this method of making paper was very feasible as soon as he heard about it.

If developed, it might even be possible to replace the hard and expensive parchment paper.

This made Off always marvel at Lin Ke's mind.

After all, this kind of thing is just a layer of window paper, and all it takes to pierce this layer of window paper is some fleeting inspiration.

And his disciple Lin Ke was exactly this kind of person with endless aura.

The master and the apprentice started working after landing.

Auf went to steam some plants. There were eight small pots in total, which contained some common crude fiber plants that Lin Ke collected.

Auf's thunder staff was seen lightly hitting the ground, and a huge flame bird condensed out of the sky.

This caused the servants around the castle, the people from the Azan troupe, and the people on duty at the arrow tower to exclaim and point at the flame bird in the sky, which was wider than the castle.

Lin Ke felt a burning sensation and couldn't laugh or cry: "Teacher, maybe we can use less magic power to summon the flame bird."

"Sorry, I just got promoted and my power control is a bit unstable." Although Aof couldn't see it, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he felt that what he summoned was receiving the attention of many people.

He immediately waved his hand, and the flame bird in the sky turned into eight small birds and flew down, wrapping the eight pots.

The fierce flames burned, causing the pot to slowly boil.

Lin Ke prepared the rest of the work, and then paid close attention to the eight small pots, patrolling back and forth.

"Teacher, summon the servant of truth to stir."

Lin Ke looked at the pot noodles in a pool of stagnant water and suddenly said.

Auf summoned eight servants of truth with a wave of his hand, and used his lightning arm to pick up the wooden stick on the side and start stirring.

When it was almost cooked, Lin Ke started beating, making, drying and other steps one by one.

With Off's participation, these steps became much simpler.

Nearly an hour later, Lin Ke looked at eight small pieces of paper in front of him, testing each one to see if it had the characteristics of paper.

For example, whether writing can leave marks, whether the texture is too brittle or too hard, whether the thickness can be made thinner, etc.

Unfortunately, in the end, none of the experimental products were usable!

However, Lin Ke was not discouraged. He recorded the advantages and disadvantages of these plants, and then began to experiment with the next batch of plants.

After the experiment on more than 20 kinds of plants was completed, Lin Ke conducted a mixing experiment again.

Based on the recorded information, the paper with certain advantages is then mixed, steamed, mashed, and dried, and these processes are repeated endlessly.

With Off's help, the process became fast and convenient.



After an afternoon passed, I finally got some results.

"Sedges, reeds, wheat, lucky flowers can all be used, um... maybe they can be divided into various grades and ways of use."

Lin Ke looked at the experimental results in front of him and whispered.

Auf next to him looked at Lin Ke's serious and meticulous look, with a happy smile on his face.
