survival in the wilderness

Chapter 54 Plan
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-December, and the children who had studied for a cold season had already mastered the basics. Lin Yan felt that their learning speed was amazing.

As long as it is a new knowledge point, if you say it again, they will quickly absorb it and extend it to new ones.

She didn't have to bother to explain in detail at all. Now they have undergone a transformation, their minds are filled with all kinds of knowledge, and their imagination is rich every day.

I want to use what I have learned to create new things.

What Lin Yan teaches is dry stuff, and the rest is up to them to comprehend and prove it in practice.

"The winter season is half a month away, and this year will be over soon. Do you have any plans for next year?"

Hua Min smiled and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. Seeing that you are so happy, do you have a new plan?"

Everyone else looked at Lin Yan. She was indeed different today. She was wearing a snow-white leather jacket, her hair was fluffy, and her thin yellow hair was tied up. She looked full of energy.

"Lin Yan, what do you want to do?" Shi Zhi rolled his eyes and asked outright.He felt that Lin Yan had too many thoughts, and it was too difficult to guess.

Shui Sheng looked up at Lin Yan for a while, feeling that she was going to do something big again.

Ye Cong walked up to her, turned around, and said, "Lin Yan, you look so good today, and I want beautiful clothes to wear."

"Haha, Ye Cong, you look good too, your skin is much fairer." Lin Yan laughed, not to mention, after a cold season, the dark skin of the children turned whiter.

You don't have to face the scorching sun in the hot season, stay at home and don't go out, but your skin has whitened a lot.

"Am I really white? Am I the same as you?" Ye Cong asked.

Lin Yan is the fairest of them. Although she can also get tanned, she is still young and knows how to protect herself from the sun. She may be able to eat well this cold season. She is white and fat, and she is the prettiest little girl in Sun City. baby.

Shi Zhi looked at Ye Cong, and said directly: "How can you compare with Lin Yan, look at your hands, then look at Lin Yan's, you will know the difference."

Ye Cong looked down, and was immediately discouraged after the comparison, "I can't compare, I really can't compare."

After everyone laughed, Lan Yue asked, "Lin Yan, what is the plan you just mentioned?"

The others quieted down and stared at Lin Yan.

She said: "You have learned so much, and you will put what you have learned into practice next year. The reason why you are selected to attend the class is because you are smart and you can remember what you have learned, but after a long time, some things will slowly fade away. Forget it, have you ever thought about how to record the knowledge, pass it on, and let more people know it?"

Shi Zhi raised the slate in his hand, "Isn't there a record? My house is full of slates. They are all the records I usually make, and they will not be lost."

Hua Min said: "Although the slate can be used to record, it is too heavy, and the things written down with charcoal will gradually become blurred. I even traced and supplemented my notes a few days ago, because I am afraid that the handwriting will be lost after a long time. Gone."

"Yes, I found out too." Ye Cong hurriedly said.

The others nodded. The slate record has many shortcomings. The most feared thing is that it will fade after a long time, and the handwriting will be blurred. If you don't notice it, you have to write it again.

They have noticed these shortcomings, but did not think of a better way.

They looked at Lin Yan expectantly. Since she said so, there should be a way.

Huang Ying couldn't help but said first: "Lin Yan, you have a better way, tell me quickly."

"Okay, let's not play tricks." Lin Yan looked around with a smile, they couldn't help beating people, and she felt that the time had come.

"Actually, there are many kinds of carriers for recording text."

"Many kinds?" Everyone was surprised. They didn't think of one kind, but there were many kinds.

Lin Yan nodded, "There are indeed many kinds, and you will see them later. Let me talk about bamboo slips and paper first. Bamboo slips are made of bamboo, and words are engraved on them, and they can be stored for a long time. The disadvantage is that Heavy, cumbersome to make, and inconvenient to transfer.”

"Where is the paper? What is that?" Hua Min was very curious. It was the first time I heard about paper, and the bamboo slips could still understand it. Looking at the way Lin Yan painted it on the slate, it was very vivid.

"Paper is made of various fibers through complicated processes. It is light and easy to use. It can be stored for a long time when written with a special pen. Binding the paper into a book will create a book. A book can be passed on better."

"What's it like?" The more Hua Min listened, the more confused she became, and she didn't understand.

The others also had question mark faces, and they had no idea what Lin Yan was talking about.

Lin Yan felt that he had overestimated them. He had never seen the real thing, so no matter how he described it, it was still very abstract.She made a decisive decision: "Okay, I can't explain clearly, then I will understand when I do it."

"Make it? When will we do it?" Hua Min asked eagerly.This is so important, especially since they have learned so much and want to teach more people.

Shuisheng asked: "Do you know how to do it? What should we prepare?"

"I know the general process, but I've never done it before." Lin Yan is also very regretful. Paper has a long history in the history of human civilization, and it is very common in the later period. Who would think of doing it by himself.

"So, next year we will work together and keep experimenting to make paper. Regardless of the quality, we will make it first and then improve it slowly."

"Okay, okay, I'll be with you." Hua Min was very positive, she really wanted to see what Lin Yan said the magic paper would look like.

Shui Sheng also said, "I'm coming too."

Others are not to be outdone, and are very active in joining.

If paper can be made, it will be a new beginning.

Lin Yan said: "I just want you to do it together. I don't know when I can make it by myself. Not only do I need to make paper, but I also need to make pens. The charcoal pens I use now are too thick, and I don't know when to write on paper. No. Therefore, our task next year is not only to make paper, but also to make pens, which is a daunting task.”

"With you here, we will definitely be able to do it." Ye Cong admired Lin Yan very much, and believed that it would not be a problem if she was there.

Hua Min also agreed, "If you know what to do, we will definitely be able to do it."

"That's right, we already know the general process, if we still can't do it, wouldn't it be too useless." Huang Ying continued.

Bai Chen: "Paper is so easy to use, what materials should we prepare?"

The others stopped and stared at Lin Yan, wishing they could join the experiment right away.

"Start with straw paper, which is the easiest. As the name suggests, straw paper is made of grass. Let's find more reeds and weeds to try. Speaking of the improvement of charcoal pencils, it is not easy to burn them with a fire. Mao Mu and Lin Yun, you two have experience in firing products, first use a kiln to burn some charcoal, and then we will find ways to improve..."

Hearing that paper is made of wild grass, everyone else was shocked. Can grass make paper?
But seeing Lin Yan's full confidence, they suppressed their doubts in their hearts and continued to listen to Lin Yan's talk about the principles of papermaking.
