Chapter 83: The Most Important Meaning of Papermaking!
Now that it was determined that papermaking was completely feasible, Don immediately took Elijah back.
"Fiona!"
Fiona looked up, and suddenly her eyebrows rose: "Lord Lord? β¦β¦ Aren't you ashamed of being clinging to a child all day long? β
"It's Elijah...... Forget it, it doesn't matter! β
Don smiled and waved the freshly baked paper in his hand in front of Fiona, "See what this is?" β
"It's ...... Paper? β
"That's right, it just came out."
"Baked?"
Fiona looked at Don suspiciously, "Your lord, are you not sick?" β
Tang En's face was speechless: "Just a description!" It's just made! β
"Make it!?"
Fiona was stunned for a moment, then shocked: "Do you know how to make paper!?" β
"Of course, it's very simple and it's inexpensive."
Tang En said with a smile: "I have thought about the process, there is no difficulty at all, we can start this matter immediately." β
"But I'm just going to arrange the blast furnace......"
"We'll talk about that later."
Tang En waved his hand: "Get the paper mill done first, by the way, the paper mill must be built next to the Emerald River, and it must be with the lumber yard, and at the same time keep a certain distance from the charcoal factory." β
"As soon as you say that, there aren't many places to choose from, and that one isn't that big in the first place."
"Isn't that right? I made a list of the things that needed to be built in the paper mill, and I didn't even need a factory building.
All you need is a spacious enough greenhouse to start production, and I'll get a set of equipment later, and you can tell someone to contact the idle people in Ellington and inform them of a new job opportunity. β
Fiona was speechless: "Lord Lord, in fact, there are almost no unemployed people in Ellington now, even those old people who are idle at home are now under your guidance and have begun to use their spare heat to help grow mint grass." β
"Huh?"
Don was stunned for a moment, he knew that Ellington had been understaffed, but he didn't expect that human resources were already scarce to such a point.
"But ......"
Fiona pinched her eyebrows: "It is necessary to make paper, and if the cost of paper is low enough, as you said, it will be a huge market." β
"Fiona, you still underestimate the importance of paper."
Don's face was very serious, which made Fiona also serious.
"Whether it is the carrier of culture or the records used in daily life, it is inseparable from paper, with paper, the children of Ellington can easily get the opportunity to learn words, and when they grow up, they will become the main force in the construction of Ellington! And most importantlyβ"
Fiona was not as profound as Don thought at all, but hearing Don say this, she also felt that the paper was extremely important, and her expression couldn't help but become more serious: "The most important thing? β
Don said excitedly: "The most important thing is that after having the paper, we finally don't have to endure torture when we go to the toilet!" β
Fiona instantly petrified: "Go to the toilet, go to the toilet!?" β
"That's right!"
Tang En said happily: "Think about it, it's obviously extremely delicate skin, why torture it with those hard and rough hemp leaves and fur? And it's a waste of fabricβ"
In his excitement, Don didn't notice that Fiona's face was getting redder and redder, and she was already faintly angry.
Don twisted up a few pieces of paper and folded them together, feeling the softness, and his face was intoxicated: "There is no doubt that cheap and soft paper will be the best substitute, it will replace hemp leaves, planks and fur, and become the best companion for the skin of our buttocks!" β
Fiona took a deep breath, accumulating her anger.
As a powerful magician, he is also the lord of Ellington, and an important person who is relied on by so many people......
He actually discussed such an extremely embarrassing topic as going to the toilet in front of a lady!
My lord, did he do it on purpose? He must have deliberately embarrassed himself, right!?
Although I have known that he is a bad-hearted guy for a long time, I didn't expect to like pranks so much!
"Lord Lord......"
"Huh?"
Fiona blushed and shouted, "You're such a complete pervert!! β
After shouting, Fiona ran away, not giving Don a chance to speak.
Don was at a loss: "Illya, what did I do wrong again?" β
"No, big brother is the best!"
"Sure enough, it's still Luo ...... Well, Illya is good...... Once a woman grows up, she becomes so inexplicable...... Illya grew up, but she couldn't be like them. β
"Hmmm! Big brother, don't worry! Elijah must be obedient! β
"Huh? Tina? β
Don suddenly saw Tina, and was very happy to share this important invention with her, but Tina's eyes were red when she saw him, as if she saw the soul of those clothes crying to her, and immediately ran away crying.
"Hey, I don't know the importance of toilet paper, it's really a piano to the cow!"
Tang En was full of complaints, it was obviously such a great invention, and he was treated so coldly in Plandal, Cai Lun would definitely cry when he knew it!
It's not certain that Cai Lun will cry about this, but if he knows that the most important meaning of his world-changing invention here is to wipe his ass here, he will probably really be angry and cry......
"It's strange, why is it that no one can accept such a good thing?"
Don was extremely distressed, he just wanted to share the good things with them, but why did they react so strangely? What's so embarrassing about this kind of thing? It's a very happy thing, isn't it......
Because he is so accustomed to it on earth, he still hasn't woken up, and in a conservative society where the level of civilization is still in the semi-slave and semi-feudal period, how embarrassing it is to talk directly about such a private matter as going to the toilet in front of a girl.
Even so, the paper mill project was taken over after Fiona sent the caravan away.
Because it didn't require too many complicated constructions, the paper mill was completed in just a few days.
The paper mill as a whole resembles a huge building, which is shaded and airy, and there are shelves built according to Donne's requirements everywhere.
In the papermaking workshop, it is a real assembly line, from raw materials entering the factory, to pulp mixing, to boiling and precipitation, to filtration and pulping, and discharge of wastewater...... It was completely restored according to the impression in Don's mind, and although it was still different from the real paper mill on the earth, there was no problem with the operation at all.
Since the number of workers trained by Don En was not large at the beginning, he did not design a second production line, with the assistance of various magical equipment made by Don En, the daily production capacity of five workers in this production line was already very terrifying, enough to make nearly a ton of finished paper!
To be honest, this is even comparable to some small paper-making workshops on the planet, and it has zero pollution......
These papers are all yellow paper that has not been bleached and purified, but because Don used various magic to perfect the process, the quality of these papers produced is very good, soft and durable, whether it is used for writing or wiping the butt, it is very good, and it has far surpassed the expensive papers sold on the market before. [e1]
But Don still doesn't feel satisfied, if you can find some natural gels, plus **bleaching, the quality of these papers can be completely improved, and it is more suitable for making books and spreading culture.
It's a pity that the natural gel can't be found, and Don doesn't know what the industrial gel is and how to get it, so he can only make do with it now.
"You have to be careful that there are no people around the waste pond, and once it's full, just press this switch, and don't do anything else. If the waste water tank is not full, don't touch it. β
Tang En used magic to dig out a huge waste water pool next to the paper mill, and then put a Ao Jin tablet at the bottom of the waste water tank, on which he carved a simplified version of the portal, opposite the fire elemental realm, and the switch that controlled the magic circle of the portal was connected to a switch outside by him using the principle of magic resonance, and a magic crystal was already built into it, even ordinary people can open the portal.
In order to prevent the workers from forgetting to close the portal and causing the elemental creatures of the fire elemental realm to pass through the portal, Don modified the magic circle, and the miniature portal in it only opened for a minute before closing automatically, which was enough time to empty the sewage.
Don and Fiona stood next to the production line and watched the first batch of pulp being flattened and hung to dry before leaving the mill satisfied.
"I didn't expect papermaking to be so easy......
Fiona sighed: "When our paper appears on the market, I'm afraid the merchants who used to sell paper will hate us to death." β
"This is the pace of the times, and if you can't keep up with the development, you will be eliminated."
Don shrugged: "By the way, how did the things that asked you to recruit people to work in the steel mill go before?" β
Fiona smiled bitterly: "I've sent people to contact people everywhere, but the problem is that there are not enough people, and the efficiency is a bit slow, even if you wait for them to look at the signs, they don't necessarily have to look at them when." β
"That's ......"
Tang En pondered for a moment, clapped his hands, and said, "Leave this matter to me, it just so happens that the paper mill is already in place, and that thing can also be in place." β
"That's up to you."
"Don't worry...... By the way, how do you feel after using toilet paper? β
"It's comfortableβ" The voice stopped abruptly, and Fiona glared at Donn with a look of shame, "You, you, youβthe stinking rascal!" β
