The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 513 Environmental Pollution
After tossing and tossing for a whole month, Chen Bei led people to turn the two raw materials of broken linen and broken linen into short and fine fibers.

Chen Bei held the newly woven bamboo curtain and faced a large vat of pulp raw materials, feeling a little nervous.

After being decolorized with lime water, the fibers of the raw materials have turned white, floating in the vat like cotton wool.

Chen Bei took a deep breath, put the bamboo curtain into the vat, scooped up some pulp like cotton wool, and then shook it lightly to distribute them evenly on the bamboo curtain.

Afterwards, Chen Bei picked up the bamboo curtain and put it aside to dry.

Afterwards, he picked up another piece of bamboo curtain, continued to fish, and continued to place it to dry.

Until all the pulp in the outline was scooped up, a row of bamboo curtains had been placed beside it.

People from the garment workshop all ran over to see, Zhizhi walked up to Chenbei and asked in a low voice, "Boss, did you succeed?"

"We'll find out after a while."

Chen Bei rubbed his right thumb and index finger together, and a divine fire appeared, as simple as being ignited by rubbing matches.

Chen Bei carefully controlled the divine fire, and dried one of the bamboo curtains bit by bit.

This process is relatively slow, because if the temperature is too high, the bamboo curtain will be burned out, and if the temperature is too low, the water will evaporate very slowly.

After waiting for a while, the paper on the bamboo curtain was already half dry, and Chen Bei took back the divine fire.

"Is this all right?" Zhizhi watched curiously, but dared not touch it.

"Try it, and then you'll know."

Chen Bei rubbed his hands, and gently scraped the edge of the paper on the bamboo curtain with his nails, opening up a gap.

The paper has been formed, but because Chen Bei is inexperienced, it is thicker and looks like a rough piece of white cloth.

Chen Bei peeled off the whole piece of paper from the bamboo curtain.

The paper is still in a semi-wet state, but it has been formed, very thick, with a certain degree of toughness, and it did not break after being lifted.

"Very good, it should be a success."

Chen Bei lifted the paper with both hands, feeling very excited, although it was rough, thick, and not pretty, but it was the first piece of paper from the Mang Tribe!
"Great!"

The women in the garment workshop cheered. Although they don't know the value of the paper, they have worked hard and now they are successful. Naturally, it is something to be happy about.

Chen Bei looked at the other papers. He found that after the pulp left the water, it quickly condensed into a piece of paper. Even without drying, it still had a certain degree of toughness and would not break easily.

Chenbei believes that after continuous technological improvement, everyone in the Mang tribe will be able to use paper, and everyone can use paper to write and draw, and there is no need to worry about wasting animal skins anymore!
"I announce that each person will be rewarded with two bronze coins!"

Chen Bei's words sparked another burst of cheers. Two bronze coins are also very valuable in the Mang tribe. Some small tribes come to trade once, and the goods are only worth a few bronze coins.

Chen Bei said again: "In the future, choose a new address and add a paper-making workshop. Those who participated in paper-making before can work in the new workshop."

Whether it is making paper or making clothes, it is very hard work, but the people of the Mang tribe don't care about it.

What is hard work?In this world, strength is the least valuable thing, for one bite of food, one's life may be lost.

Papermaking is a very time-consuming task, but as long as each process is assigned to special personnel, and each batch of materials is processed at a different time, paper can be produced continuously.

Chenbei first found members of the engineering team and asked them to select a site for the paper-making workshop, and then build a house and supporting buildings for paper-making.

Although Hongtu is in the Rhinoceros Continent, the engineering team is still quick to work, because the Mang tribe has a very large population, there is no shortage of talents from all walks of life, and talented people are generally not buried.

"First of all, the pollution issue needs to be considered."

"Pollution?" The vice-captain of the engineering team heard this statement for the first time. He scratched his head, a little confused.

"That's right, papermaking produces a lot of waste water. If the water flows directly into creeks or rivers, it will cause great pollution to the current water quality."

As the Mang tribe became larger and larger, Chenbei had noticed the problem of environmental pollution.

Although the Mang tribe has not really developed heavy polluting industries, there will be no water pollution problems like foundry workshops, clothing workshops, and paper workshops to be built.

If you don't pay attention now, sooner or later, the water source near the Mang tribe will be destroyed, from clear to dirty.

That was a scene Chen Bei absolutely didn't want to see.

"Boss, what should we do?"

"Build a purification pool in advance, and the sewage will be purified first before being discharged."

The vice-captain of the engineering team still felt puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what is this purification pool?"

Chen Beidao: "The purification pool is the place where the pigments and impurities in the water are filtered..."

Chen Bei spoke halfway, then stopped again. He saw that the engineering team was a little confused, there were too many new words.

"You just do what I said, it's built, and you'll know what's going on when you look at it."

"Alright leader, no problem!"

Everyone in the engineering team let out a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter whether you can understand or not, as long as you can do your job well.

Chen Bei took the engineering team around for a while, and finally decided to build a paper-making workshop in an open space on the west side of the Mang tribe's city wall.

Chenbei first delineated the place where the house will be built, in which a reservoir, a stove, etc. need to be built.

Then, he drew out the route for the waste water to be discharged and the place where the clean water pool was built.

"There are three clean water pools. Charcoal and cinders are poured into the first pool to absorb harmful substances such as pigments in the wastewater."

"Coarse gravel is poured into the second pool, and fine gravel is poured into the third pool, which is filtered layer by layer before being discharged into the ditch."

Chenbei's filtration method is quite crude, but as long as the pool is built, the filtration method and materials can be gradually improved in the future.

The vice-captain of the engineering team nodded frequently, wrote down everything Chen Bei said, and then prepared materials and started construction.

After they complete the construction, the Mang Tribe will have a brand new papermaking workshop.

When the engineering team started to work, Chen Bei looked at it for a while, and then left. He walked towards the garment workshop and looked at the Mang tribe today, muttering: "I used to think that the city wall was built long enough, and the tribe The inside is also very spacious, but now it seems that it is far from enough."

Chen Bei wondered if it was time to build a few more cities outside the site?This way the main city will not be so crowded.

This idea took root in Chen Bei's mind, but the current environment in Nanhuang is very complicated, and there is a continent of rhinoceros horns that can divert the people of the Mang tribe, so it will not be implemented for the time being.

After Chen Bei returned to the garment workshop, the paper hanging on the bamboo curtain had been drying for a long time, and it was relatively dry. He took off all the paper, stacked them together, and walked to the green bamboo yard.

"This is what I said, the paper that can replace the animal skin roll."

Chen Bei put these thick papers on the green bamboo table.

"Let me see."

Qingzhu knew that Chenbei had been busy for a long time for these papers, so she also paid more attention to these papers.

She picked up a piece of paper, the texture was rough, but it was really light.

Afterwards, Qingzhu picked up a beast hair brush, dipped it in paint, and tried to write a shamanism on the paper.

I saw that after the paint was written on the paper, it was quickly absorbed by the thick paper, and the ink dried very quickly.

This is completely incomparable with animal skins.

"Is this really made of broken linen and hemp rope? It is indeed a good thing!"

Qingzhu exclaimed, this kind of paper material is very common and easy to get, although the production time is a bit longer, but compared with animal skins, it does have huge advantages.

Chen Bei smiled and said: "I hope that everyone in the Mang tribe can use this kind of paper in the future, just like pottery, from being expensive at the beginning to becoming affordable for everyone."

Qingzhu nodded and said: "If that's the case, it's really great."

Qingzhu put away these papers, the first batch of papers had special meaning, she didn't want to waste them casually.
