Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 105, Chapter 102

On the basis of summarizing the experience of predecessors in making silk fabrics, Cai Lun invented plant fiber paper suitable for writing by using bark, broken fishnets, rags, hemp heads, etc. as raw materials, making paper a widely used writing material.This kind of paper is cheap, high-quality, and the raw materials are easy to find, so it is gradually used widely.

In general, Cai Lun is considered to be of great merit.

But there is an obvious disadvantage that this kind of paper is not smooth.

Although the paper made by Cai Lun has been optimized a lot compared to the previous Baqiao paper, Juyan paper and other papers, the optimization is mainly because the use of materials is more convenient and cheaper, and the smoothness of the paper has limited progress.

Let's put it this way, the current paper is very similar to the straw paper of later generations, even if it is so popular, it is limited.

If Chen Yuan wiped his butt with that paper, he would probably be sprayed to death by others.

Moreover, Chen Yuan didn't want to use such paper to wipe his buttocks, it was too irritating.

Chen Yuan had already learned about the manufacturing process of Cai Lun paper before. The process is not complicated, but there is only one problem.

That is, the papermaking must be completed with a paper curtain (equivalent to the papermaking copper wire used for sizing in modern papermaking), which is a key process for converting pulp into paper.

The most ideal material for making paper curtains is moso bamboo, while other materials are limited by their lack of durability and adaptability.

However, moso bamboo is relatively rare in the north, which is one of the reasons why Cai Lun paper has not been promoted.

Some people would like to say, has no one thought that there are many moso bamboos in the south, and it can be made in the south.

This is a bit taken for granted. The south at this time is far from the south of later generations. At this time, the center of gravity of China is in the north, and the south is a barren and wild land with large undeveloped areas.

Where can I care about papermaking, let's have a full meal first.

Chen Yuan is different. In Chen Yuan's view, papermaking is not only a business, but also plays a very important role in his future layout.

The popularization of paper can make the popularization of knowledge easier and allow more people to acquire knowledge.

Knowledge changes destiny, and it is irrefutable at all times.

Moreover, Chen Yuan had another idea. When his child prodigy academy opened in the future, the four-piece set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone would have to be made.

Now get the paper out.

When it comes to papermaking, there are three figures in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

One is Cai Lun, one is his disciple Kong Dan, and the other is Zuo Bo.

Cai Lun does not talk about him, Kong Dan is the original inventor of Xuan paper, and Zuo Bo is the inventor of Zuo Bo paper.

Logically speaking, if Chen Yuan wanted to improve paper, it would be best if he could find Kong Dan and Zuo Bo.

But there is almost no record of Kong Dan in history, and Chen Yuan didn't know that there was such a person.

As for Uncle Zuo, Chen Yuan had a little impression, but he didn't see it from the history books.

Instead, I played a game called Journey to the West 3, in which there was a character-making workshop, and the craftsman was Uncle Zuo.

Because the background of the game was the Tang Dynasty, Chen Yuan always thought Zuo Bo was a character from the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Yuan didn't know whether Uncle Zuo was a person of this era or a native of Donglai County.

Zuo Bo is not only good at making paper, but also a calligrapher.

It's a pity that Chen Yuan had such a misunderstanding, and he began to prepare for making paper by himself.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan is not without support.

His reliance is very simple, the system.

Yes, the system is acting like a demon again.

New features are enabled.

A tech tree appears.

There are a lot of technology trees densely packed, with everything, but they are all gray and not lit.

It's very simple to light up, just exchange points.

Simply papermaking does not require many points, ten points are enough.

Saying this is not much, Chen Yuan is still very heartbroken.

It is not easy to obtain these points, and the landlord's family has no surplus food.

Chen Yuan found a problem, the system is getting more and more tricky.

Points are needed not only for attributes, but also for cultivation. Fortunately, even climbing the technology tree requires points.

Sin ah.

However, when Chen Yuan saw those things at the top of the technology tree, he immediately burst into laughter.

Especially when he saw controllable nuclear fusion, aerospace fighters, curvature engines, atomic bombs, etc., his eyes widened.

Good guy, don't I travel through a fantasy world, but a technological world?

Otherwise, why did the atomic bomb come out?
If I can produce an atomic bomb, even a first-rank powerhouse will have to kneel.

However, when Chen Yuan saw the front technology tree in front of the atomic bomb, he immediately extinguished this idea.

Chen Yuan felt that there might be no hope of getting an atomic bomb in this life, let alone controllable nuclear fusion.

The points required are absolutely massive.

Even if China is unified, it will be difficult to reach the age of steam, let alone the atomic bomb.

That's all, let's go with the fate, click it if you can, and forget it if you don't.

Now let's give some papermaking skills.

Chen Yuan spent ten points to directly light up the papermaking technique.

Immediately, all kinds of information about papermaking flooded into Chen Yuan's head.

After a long time, Chen Yuan regained his composure.

This means that Chen Yuan practiced Yuanshi Sushu, his spiritual cultivation is extraordinary, and he can accept information extremely fast. If he was a person from Earth, he would probably have been turned into an idiot by the torrent of information.

Because the system is very conscientious, the papermaking technology provided is a set.

From the invention of paper all the way to modern papermaking methods have been instilled in Chen Yuan's mind.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Yuan is now a master of papermaking theory.

Chen Yuan chose a papermaking method most suitable for this era, which is to use bamboo as a raw material for papermaking.

Because bamboo is cheap and easy to get, and the paper made from it is smooth and soft, which won't hurt your hands.

Chen Yuan was most interested in not hurting his hands. Since he didn't hurt his hands, he certainly wouldn't hurt the tender chrysanthemum.

You are the one.

Knowing how to make paper, Chen Yuan called a few people from Jinfengwei, and asked them to cut a lot of bamboo, and started to make paper at home.

Of course, Chen Yuan will definitely not work day and night, but will work from nine to five, strictly abide by the work and rest schedule, and take a rest immediately when the time is up.

Don't do it for more than 1 minute.

Chen Yuan was afraid of working overtime in his previous life, and he wanted to experience the thrill of a nine-to-five job for a long time.

Now that I can finally make my own decisions, how can I treat myself badly again.

You have to work from nine to five, and every extra minute is a loss.

This made Jinfengwei's people very puzzled. They didn't understand why their commanding officer asked him and others to stop working and leave as soon as Youshi arrived.

Although these Jinfengwei were puzzled, none of them questioned it.

Just kidding, this is the boss's boss, do you dare to question it, do you still want to do it?
Due to Chen Yuan's laziness, even with a clear process and method, until Liu Bei returned to Xiangyang, Chen Yuan did not make much paper here.

However, it was enough for Chen Yuan to go to the toilet by himself.

Yes, Chen Yuan tested the softness of the paper as soon as it was made. After confirming that it was like silk, Chen Yuan took a stack decisively, and then made a large size.

That is called a hearty and dripping, rushing for thousands of miles, just like the Yellow River flooding out of control.

Afterwards, it is really comfortable to clean up the battlefield with newly made paper.
