Assistant God of Life in Another World

Three days later, Fang Tian had found what he was looking for.

But these three days made Fang Tian deeply realize that being an "inventor" is really not easy.

Or rather, difficult.

This kind of directional search, which is like finding a needle in a bowl, and the comparative test, plus the speedy addition of magic to the test time, theoretically speaking, it should not take much trouble or time.

but it is not the truth.

After the experiment ended successfully, even Fang Tian now felt a little tired mentally.

It is definitely not because of lack of mental strength or anything, but just a hint of impatience in the consciousness, for this kind of "frequent", "time after time", and "continuous" experiments.

Although this impatience is indeed only a "trace", how sensitive is Fang Tian to his own physical and mental feelings now?So, precisely captured.

This discovery made Fang Tian sigh in his heart.

Sighing the difficulty of invention.

It is said that when King Edison invented the experimental filament, thousands of materials were tested before and after.

Fang Tian had heard this story a long time ago in his previous life, and he also sincerely admired it.But to be honest, at that time, Fang Tian really didn't have a solid concept of the "thousands of kinds".

If a person spends eight hours a day, no, twelve hours, on these "thousands of materials", how many kinds can he test in a day?These thousands of kinds, how much time will it take in total?

Edison didn't use it for a long time, a few years at most.

But this gentleman is actually an "unknown" figure, and his example does not have conventional reference.

The time he spent was only a few years.But if you put it on others, put it on other "general inventors".In the past few years, it is likely to need to be expanded to more than ten years, or even decades.

In other words, an invention, which represents behind it, is likely to be a lifetime.

A person's life, in the face of such facts, is really insignificant.

If you not only live, but also want to "do something".

Just live normally.At that time, it was like a leisurely flowing stream, and if you wanted to pursue something and struggle, it was easy to find it.That creek, I don't know when.It became a waterfall.

Flying down three thousand feet.What falls straight down is not water, but time.

During these three days, Fang Tian tested a total of 490 or two kinds of materials. This is because he knew the general characteristics of the materials he was looking for.

If it's just searching and experimenting without a clue.Like Edison's experimental filament, I'm afraid this number will be expanded ten times. ——Well, that should basically be about the same number as Edison's experiments on filament materials.

Actually, in theory.There is still a way to reduce the number of "490 two", even a lot.

If Fang Tian was a botanist.

But sadly, he is not.

Alas, if only I had been a botanist in a previous life.In Fang Tian's heart, he sighed slightly again.

But no matter how much he sighed, now, Fang Tian has the confidence to make the paper he needs, including the "brocade", including the flowers that can be added to the "brocade".

In the past three days, between testing seasoning packages, or in order not to be too busy with one thing to cause dementia, Fang Tian did not only experiment with seasoning packages, but also cooperated with him to test many, many paper-making materials. over and over.

In this process, the role played by magic can be called an "artifact".

In the hands of a middle-ranking mage, the role of magic is not just to replace experimental equipment. In fact, this is only a trivial one of those roles. The real role of magic, which can be called an "artifact", is greatly reduced. The time required for the experiment.

How big?

That is, it took 5 days to test a material in the papermaking workshop in the previous life, but it only takes [-] minutes to come to him!

Yes, that's right, 5 minutes!

In fact, at the beginning, it took half a magic hour, that is, about 10 minutes, but with the improvement of skills, practice makes perfect, and the improvement of the application of comprehensive spells, this time was gradually shortened until it was shortened to 5 minutes!

It can also be said that in the past three days, in the papermaking industry, Fang Tian, ​​with the knowledge of a latecomer and the "divine power bonus" of magic, used three days to complete the countless papermaking workshops in the past 1000 years. past history.

Now, in papermaking, he is already an out-and-out expert, a great expert!

Even if you don't say it modestly, it is not an exaggeration to be called a master.

If he wants to, if he doesn't consider anything else, he can write a book "Integrated Papermaking" now, and this book must be a classic.

Of course, in fact, it was impossible for him to do this.

The paper is done, the next step is the ink.

Compared with paper, the method of making ink is simple.

It's so easy!The two are not of the same order of magnitude at all.

Papermaking needs to test four or five hundred kinds of materials, and this is just a "seasoning package". Including raw materials, there are seven or eight hundred kinds, but for making ink, let alone seven or eight hundred, even seven or eighty are not needed!

In this era, every family has the simplest ink, and each family has at least two "processing factories" that process ink continuously all day long.

The first processing point is the oil lamp.

The second processing point is the pot stove.

Pick up the big iron pot that is used for cooking every day in the west courtyard of Fenglin Courtyard, turn it over, touch it with your hand, and immediately a miraculous change will take place - the white hand will become black.

Scrape off the black ash and mix it with water to get the most authentic ink.

This is the cauldron.

Of course, the same is true for oil lamps, but the ink spot on the lamp is the lampshade.

Generally speaking, the ash in the lampshade is darker and more delicate than the ash at the bottom of the cauldron.Of course, the so-called delicate, extremely delicate, is the so-called "nano-level" in the previous life.

The level of ink shows the difference here:

[-]. See who is darker.

Second, see who is more delicate.

As a great writer, but also a calligrapher, one of the four Song, Su Shi.Su Dongpo, also known as His Excellency Su Changlian, had a saying on ink:

"Today's discussion of ink, we only take its light. If it is light but not black, it is to abandon ink. If it is black but not bright, it is dull and lifeless, and it can be used again. It is necessary to make it clear and not floating, and it is as clear as a child's eyes. good."

Although Su Dongpo's calligraphy was ridiculed by Huang Tingjian, one of the four masters of the Song Dynasty, as "toads pressed by stones", his point of view on ink is still very precise.

The ink mentioned in this sentence.In fact, it is also the common requirement of countless calligraphers for ink.

Of course, like papermaking, "thirteen incense" can be added to the paper to make the paper have different characteristics, such as blue paper and red paper.Moli can also add seasoning, this aspect.It should be easy for people in Fangtian's time in the previous life to understand.

Like eating ice cream.Is there something like strawberry, vanilla, mango, cantaloupe, chocolate or something.

Add a little perfume to the raw materials for making ink, and after the ink is made, it is fragrant ink.

Take a piece of ink and smell it with your nose. The so-called "refreshing" is not nonsense.Of course.This fragrance is not added casually, some fragrances are mixed with ink, and the smell will become extremely bad.

However, this is only a small problem.

Paper still needs to be tested again and again.This ink, Fang Tian has not tried it yet, he already has a bottom line in his heart.

Next, is the pen.

Brush, hehe, compared with paper and ink, the difficulty and process of making brushes has been greatly reduced.

If it is said that the maker in the previous life or an ordinary person made a pen, he would still have a headache about the fine adjustments involving those hairs, for a mage, this is really not worth mentioning.

The so-called four treasures of the study are pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

In this way, the paper is passed, the ink is passed, and the pen is passed, then the next thing is the inkstone.

This one is even simpler, so simple that it can be fully summed up in just one sentence: "The stone with a concave is the inkstone."

Just pick up a small stone on the ground, of course, a small piece of wood can also be used, and it can be placed on the table stably. The stone or wood has a recess on it, and the one that can hold ink is the inkstone.

Of course, this is the most basic and crude inkstone.

On this basis, there can also be various specialties, such as using jade instead of stones or wood, such as Lantian jade, Han white jade, and mutton fat jade.

In Fang Tian's previous life, the elder who named his sons and daughters Tang Kai and Tang Xiaozhuan respectively had a set of inkstones called "five-color stones", which were carved from black, white, blue, red, yellow and five-color jade stones.

Once as a guest, Fang Tian asked with a smile, why not upgrade the five-color stone to a colorful set?Isn't it all about upgrading now?

The elder laughed, making up for the legacy of the sky!

Then he explained solemnly, after all, Colorful is a bit "colorful", and it is not suitable for the study room.If Xiaozhuan likes calligraphy, I can give her a set like this, but unfortunately, she doesn't like it.

Between the words, there is a lot of regret.

The four treasures of the study, the "treasures" have been prepared, and the next thing is the "room".

Fang Tian is now a mid-rank mage and also the lord of a city. His situation is very different from when he was a magic apprentice. There are many things that can be ignored.With his current level, he can open his golden fingers and create a rather "ideal" study for little Loli.

Of course, his own is exempted.

As the practice progressed, more and more people were sitting on the ground, and Fang Tian couldn't remember how long he hadn't been in his hut.

To build a house for Little Loli, Fang Tian chose to build the house near the center of the association, which is the lakeside now named "Seven Star Lake".

In fact, since little Ivy and Nanhai Shisan left respectively, it was a bit inappropriate for little loli to live in the Fenglin compound.The reason for the inappropriateness is naturally very simple. Everyone in the compound, even the magicians such as Morris, have companions.

She was alone, alone.

At the beginning, Fang Tian was still in the courtyard often, so it didn't matter.Now, as he was away from the compound for longer and longer, it was time to move her out. (to be continued..)
