survival in the wilderness

Chapter 73 Reform
A group of children returned to the laboratory with the prepared meals for Mao Mu and Lin Yun.

The ironmaking process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Mao Mu and Lin Yun have been guarding it very hard, but they are willing.

After eating the meal that Lin Yan and the others brought back, the two boasted again.

Lin Yan looked at the ore in the furnace, the charcoal was still not durable, it would be great if there was coal.

During the three months she left, Mao Mu led people to burn a large amount of charcoal, the quality of which was uneven, and it happened to be used for iron smelting.

Hua Min saw that everyone was there, so she asked Lin Yan: "Do we have any plans for the future? The school has started classes a month ago, and we only need to take turns teaching them how to read and write every day. The rest of the time, we can do our own things." .”

"There are many things. I found a good way to make paper and pen, and it's up to you to do it."

"Really? Come on, let's do it right away?" Hua Min asked hurriedly.

Bai Chen also looked at Lin Yan, is there really a good way to make paper?Before, they made straw paper by their own groping, and it was completely unusable.

Lin Yan went out for a trip, how did he find a solution?
This thought flashed by, but Bai Chen didn't pursue it further.

Because Lin Yan had already started talking about the process of making paper, Bai Chen hurriedly concentrated on listening.

After Lin Yan finished talking about the making of paper, he talked about the method of brush and ink.

After listening to it, Shui Sheng first asked questions: "These methods seem simple, but we lack a lot of things, and it is not easy to make them. We have nothing to add to papermaking. The tools are not difficult to make, etc. Once the pig iron is smelted, it can be used to make various molds to make knives. With sharp knives, making tools is not a problem.”

"That's right. That's why we have to work together to study and experiment and find alternatives. Paper is very important and must be produced as soon as possible."

Lin Yan looked solemn, "With paper, there is everything. When the paper is made, there will be books, and I plan to use paper to make currency. These days, everyone will work together to strive for an early success."

She wanted to move out the books in the Science and Technology Museum, but she couldn't do without paper.

At this moment, Shui Sheng and the others felt the pressure rushing towards them, and Lin Yan had never looked at them so solemnly.

With the method and how to realize it, a group of people gathered together to discuss for an afternoon, listed out the things to be done, and carried out the division of labor.

Mao Mu and Lin Yun are mainly responsible for iron smelting, and Shui Sheng helps them smelt knives together.

The rest of the people are all devoted to making paper and pen and ink, making tools, formulating methods, and conducting a lot of experiments.

Everyone in the lab was so busy that they had no time to do anything else.

Hua Min suggested that the school suspend classes first, and then start classes after the work here is over.

Lin Yan thinks it is feasible. The most important thing at present is paper making and pen and ink, and other things can be postponed.

When Lin Yan was immersed in the experiment, Heitu came to him.

Seeing Lin Yan's unkempt appearance, Heitu was taken aback, "What are you doing, why are you in this state?"

Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, "I'm busy doing experiments, why are you looking for me?"

She is very busy, dealing with various bottles and cans every day, observing and analyzing the test results.Failure again and again aroused all of Lin Yan's enthusiasm, and she was immersed in it, unable to extricate herself.

Heitu looked at the liquids of various colors on the table in front of her, some of which were black and smelled unbearable.Looking at the sackcloth on her body and the stains on it, she didn't ask much.

"It's been three days since I came back. They've all thought it over and agreed to your proposal. I'll ask you to have a meeting and discuss some details."

"I'm not free." Just as Lin Yan finished speaking, he remembered that the other side was also a big event, and he couldn't delay, and said, "Okay, I'll go there after I tidy up."

Heitu waited for half an hour. He walked around the room and found that everyone was very busy, similar to Lin Yan's appearance.

This group of children really worked hard, no less than when they encountered fierce beasts.

"You can go." Lin Yan hurried out of the room without tidying himself up.

Seeing her appearance, Heitu couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going to wash your face and change your clothes?"

Looking down, Lin Yan thought it was okay, "No, time is urgent, let's go quickly."

When they arrived, everyone was already there, and they were waiting for him.

The meeting was held in a classroom without a stool, and the children just sat on straw mats on the floor in class.

Everyone didn't care too much, just found a place to sit or stand, and surrounded Huangye and Alan in the middle.Seeing Heitu and Lin Yan coming in, the conversation stopped immediately.

Huang Ye said: "You guys are here, come and stand here." She pointed to the place beside her.

Heitu walked over without hesitation, Lin Yan was stunned, and followed.

After seeing Lin Yan's appearance clearly, Ah Lan couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here, why did you get all dirty, even your face is dirty."

Lin Yan smiled, "I'm busy doing experiments, I don't care so much. Hehe, let's get down to business." Hurry up and finish it, she has to go back and continue to work.

Seeing that Lin Yan was fine, Huang Ye said loudly: "Everyone is here, let's start." Glancing at Alan, let her continue.

Alan didn't hold back, and immediately continued: "We all agree to set up an arbitration tribunal to manage the affairs of Sun City. Under the arbitration tribunal, there are guards, finance department, industry department, science and technology department, and material department. Factories, smelters, and kiln factories; the scientific research department has schools and laboratories. The guard team has 200 people and is managed by Heitu, who has experience; the heads of other departments need to discuss it again. Lin Yan, what do you have? If you want to speak out, let's discuss it again and strive to settle this matter today."

After hearing this, Lin Yan was surprised. They thought about it for a few days and it was fruitful. They expanded the points she raised, which is good and more comprehensive.

She thought for a while and said, "Since they are all called departments, why not change the guards into the military department, which sounds like a unified level."

"That's fine, it's just a name." Huang Ye expressed her opinion that it doesn't matter what it's called.

Others also agreed to change the name to the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Lin Yan went on to say: "The finance department has to check the accounts of various departments and manage the issuance of currency. Do you have any ideas on what to use as currency?"

Alan smiled wryly, "We've been thinking hard, but we haven't found what you said can be used as currency. You need to figure out a way."

Lin Yan said directly: "I do have some ideas, and the people in the laboratory are working on it recently. I plan to use banknotes and wait for the paper to be made. We specialize in researching a special kind of paper for currency, with numbers and numbers printed on it. The pattern is difficult to imitate. It is easy to carry and has different denominations and sizes to meet various needs.”

The story about the paper has long been circulated in the city, and the kids in the laboratory have been tossing about it, but they haven't seen the finished product yet, so it's hard to make a conclusion for a while.
