survival in the wilderness

Chapter 76 Change Plan
When Lin Yan returned to the lab, everyone else had arrived, each busy with their work.

She looked at them one by one, and found that the smell in the room was really bad, and there were all kinds of strange smells.

The several papermaking methods I found required lime soaking, but they didn't have it, so they had to find other substances to replace it.

Plant ash is also alkaline and has become the first choice.

Everyone participated in the experiment, soaked in different proportions, and made slurry through cooking and other processes.Want to find out the best way to make the paste.

Lin Yan looked at the straw paper made by Bai Chen and the others. It was not dense enough, uneven in thickness, fragile and smudged, and other problems were very serious.

In the past two days, Lin Yan provided a new paper-making method. They wanted to use existing things to make paper that could write on.

After reading it, Lin Yan felt that it was too difficult to make it, and it lacked too many additives.Even if it is made, it is very difficult to be able to use it for writing.It is a very complicated process to make good paper, relying on their existing conditions, it is extremely difficult to complete.

This is a long-term process, and it is very difficult to complete it in a short period of time.She was still too impatient.

After thinking for more than an hour, Lin Yan made up his mind and called people together.

Hua Min still had a few black spots on her face, she didn't know what she had touched, "Why did you call us here, we are busy, and the water in the jar is about to boil dry."

Seeing everyone's looks, they were somewhat sloppy. Lin Yan said: "There are many ways to make paper, and you all know it, but it is very difficult to make it."

"It's quite difficult. After so many days of experiments, I can still only make the roughest papyrus." Bai Chen stated the facts, "I think that even if there is a process, it is impossible to copy it. We have a lot of things None, this process is very long. I think the next step is to refine various chemical substances to lay a solid foundation for the future.”

Huang Ying said: "Although that is the case, we don't do anything. We don't know when we want to make paper. Now we are all waiting to use paper."

Lin Yan: "Bai Chen is right. This is a long process. I am too impatient. So, I want to use wood chips instead of paper. With sharp knives, it is not difficult to make various wood chips. Write with wood chips first. , lighter and easier to use than slate. That’s what I think. I can’t make banknotes for the time being. I just concentrate on iron ore smelting and use iron to mint coins first. After passing this level, I will study slowly. papermaking."

The others were silent. Their expectations for paper were too high, and they were full of confidence, but the reality forced them to temporarily compromise.

Shui Sheng quickly said: "Lin Yan is right. Papermaking has encountered problems, and banknotes have already been implemented, so we can't wait too long to cash them out. First replace them with other banknotes, and then replace them after the banknotes are made. This is the best solution at present. I agree with Lin Yan's approach."

The others hesitated for a long time before nodding in agreement.

The atmosphere is gloomy, this is the first time they have encountered a big blow, and everyone feels very uncomfortable.

They finally realized how aggrieved Lin Yan was in the face of reality at that time, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing everyone's lifeless look, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Why do you have this expression? It's not that you don't want to do it, it's just that you're putting it on hold. Papermaking needs to be studied. Let's first think about what iron coins are made of for writing. What to do with the chips."

Shui Sheng immediately said: "Iron coins and banknotes have the same value, so they should be light and compact, so that they are difficult to imitate. The face value should be the same as the banknotes."

"I think so too." Lin Yan nodded, "Next, let's redistribute the things we need to do now."

Ye Cong immediately answered: "Tell me, we will follow your arrangement."

The others also nodded, they were all convinced by Lin Yan's arrangement.

"Next, we need to concentrate on smelting, and try to make all kinds of ironware in the shortest possible time, so as to maximize the use of iron ore. Hua Min and Bai Chen are busy with their own affairs, and the rest of us will focus on iron smelting with me. , just to help build the smelter together.”

"Okay." Mao Mu glanced at Lin Yan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you want to talk to the arbitral tribunal about the obstruction of the promotion of banknotes, or we will go with you."

"I'll go by myself." Lin Yan also thought of this point. The promotion of banknotes seems to be far away. It is true that he has to report to the arbitration tribunal, give an explanation to the people in Sun City, and promote iron coins.

"They won't scold you, will they?" Ye Cong's face was full of worry.

Others also realized that this matter was indeed wrong.

I just proposed to the arbitral tribunal to implement banknotes, and I have told everyone that it will be changed to iron coins in less than a day, which is too fast.

Lin Yan couldn't laugh or cry, "What are you worried about? Even if paper money can't be made now, it won't work in the future. I firmly believe that it can be done well, but it just takes time. Iron coins are also temporary, and one day they will be replaced by paper money. My previous The proposal doesn’t count, it’s just a postponement. Don’t worry, everyone knows about the currency on the first day, so it’s okay to change it.”

Huang Ying volunteered and said, "I'll go with you." She is Huang Ye's granddaughter, and with her, if anyone scolds Lin Yan, she can scold back.

"No need, go and do your own business." Lin Yan waved his hand to tell them to leave quickly, it was not a big deal, there was no need to worry.

When I came to the school again, the crowd was still there, very lively.

Lin Yan went to Ah Lan first, told her about the banknotes, and asked her to gather the people from the arbitration tribunal and explain it to them.

Alan readily agreed and went to find someone immediately. She felt that it was good that Lin Yan could correct it in time, and she should correct it immediately when she found a problem.

Eighteen members of the arbitration tribunal gathered. After hearing Lin Yan's words, their expressions were complicated. Some were the same as Ah Lan, while others were expressionless.

Yucai immediately said: "I said so definitely last night, but I changed my mind today, what is it taking us for. You think about it this time, you can make iron coins, don't wait to change it again later. "

Shui Pozi immediately became displeased, "Yu Cai, what do you mean by that? Do you blame Lin Yan? She's not doing it for the good of the tribe. If it wasn't for her, would we be able to come up with a solution?"

"I didn't deny her credit, but it changed too fast." Yu Cai just felt that the change was too fast.In particular, she had already explained the paper money to many people, how good it was, and she was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye.

"It's good to change in time, it's better than waiting forever." Alan reminded at the right time.

Seeing Ah Lan's statement, Yucai stopped talking.

Huang Ye immediately said: "In this case, change the banknotes into iron coins, please explain to me again."

"Okay, let's go now." Heitu felt that this was no problem at all, paper money couldn't be made, didn't there be iron coins.Moreover, Lin Yan also said that the banknotes are only temporarily unavailable, and will definitely be produced in the future. He believes that she can do what she says.
