Chapter 83 The Most Important Significance of Papermaking!
Now that it was confirmed that the papermaking technique was completely feasible, Tang En immediately took Eliya back.
"Fiona!"
Fiona looked up, and immediately raised her brows: "Master?...You are clinging to Ilia again, don't you feel ashamed that such a big person clings to children all day long?"
"It's obviously Eliya... Forget it, it's not important!"
Tang En put the freshly baked paper in front of Fiona with a smile: "Look what this is?"
"This is... paper?"
"That's right, it just came out of the oven."
"Out of the oven?"
Fiona looked at Tang En suspiciously: "Lord, are you alright?"
Tang En was speechless: "It's just a description! It's just made!"
"do it!?"
Fiona froze for a moment, then was shocked: "You know how to make paper!?"
"Of course, it's very simple and cheap."
Tang En said with a smile: "I've thought about the process, it's not difficult at all, we can start this matter right away."
"But I just prepared to arrange the matter of the blast furnace..."
"I'll talk about that later."
Tang En waved his hand: "Get the paper mill first. By the way, the paper mill must be built next to the Emerald River, and it must be with the logging camp. At the same time, it must be at a certain distance from the charcoal factory."
"If you put it that way, there are not many places to choose from, and the original space is not that big."
"Wouldn't that be nice? I've listed out what a paper mill needs to build, it doesn't even need a building,
All you need is a large enough shed to start production. I will get a set of related equipment later. You can order someone to contact the idle people in Ellington and inform them that there are new job opportunities. "
Fiona was speechless: "My lord, in fact, there are almost no unemployed people in Ellington now, even those old people who are idle at home, now they are led by you to use their waste heat to help plant mint grass. "
"what?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment. He knew that Ellington had always been short of manpower, but he did not expect that human resources were so scarce.
"but……"
Fiona squeezed the space between her eyebrows: "Papermaking is very necessary. If the cost of making paper is low enough according to what you said, then this will be a huge market."
"Fiona, you still underestimate the importance of paper."
Tang En's face was so serious that Fiona couldn't help but become serious too.
"Whether it is the carrier of culture or the records used in daily life, paper is inseparable. With paper, children in Ellington can easily get the opportunity to learn words. When they grow up, they will become the building blocks of Egypt. Linton's main staff! The most important thing is-"
Fiona was not as profound as Tang En thought, but after hearing what Tang En said, she also felt that the paper was extremely important, and her expression became more serious: "The most important thing?"
Tang En said with great excitement: "——The most important thing is that with the paper, we finally don't have to endure torture when we go to the toilet!"
Fiona instantly petrified: "Go, go to the bathroom!?"
"That's right!"
Tang En said happily: "Think about it, it is obviously extremely delicate skin, why use those hard and rough hemp leaves and furs to torture it? And using fabric is very wasteful—"
Tang En, who was excited, didn't notice that Fiona's face was getting redder and redder, and she was already showing a tendency to go into a rage.
Tang En twisted a few pieces of paper and stacked them together, feeling the softness, and his face was intoxicated: "——Without a doubt, cheap and soft paper will be the best substitute, it will replace hemp leaves, wooden boards and Fur, become the best partner to care for our buttock skin!"
Fiona took a deep breath, building up her anger.
As an incomparably powerful magician and also the lord of Ellington, an important person who is relied on by so many people...
He actually discussed such an embarrassing topic of going to the toilet in front of a lady!
Sir, did he do it on purpose? He must have deliberately embarrassed himself! ?
Although I knew that he was a bad-hearted guy, I didn't expect him to be so fond of pranks!
"My lord..."
"Um?"
Fiona blushed and yelled: "You are a complete pervert!!!"
After shouting, Fiona ran away without giving Tang En a chance to speak.
Tang En was at a loss: "Elia, what did I do wrong?"
"No, big brother is the best!"
"Sure enough, it's still Luo... Well, Ilya is good... Once a woman grows up, she becomes so inexplicable... Ilya must not be like them when she grows up."
"Well! Don't worry, big brother! Eliya must be obedient!"
"Huh? Tina?"
Tang En suddenly saw Tina, so he was very happy to share this important invention with her, but just as Tina saw him, her eyes turned red, as if she saw the soul of those clothes crying to her, immediately He ran away crying.
"Hey, everyone doesn't know the importance of toilet paper, it's really playing the piano!"
Tang En was full of complaints. It was such a great invention, but he was treated so coldly in Prandal. Cai Lun would definitely cry if he found out!
Whether Cai Lun will cry about this matter is not certain, but if he knows that the most important meaning of his world-changing invention to Tang En is to wipe his ass, he will probably really cry...
"Strange, why is it that no one can accept such a good thing?"
Tang En was extremely distressed. He obviously just wanted to share something good with them, but why did they all react so strangely? What's so embarrassing about this kind of thing? It's obviously a very happy thing...
It is precisely because he is so used to it on Earth that he has not yet come to his senses. In a conservative society where the level of civilization is still in the semi-slave and semi-feudal period, he directly talks about private matters such as going to the toilet in front of girls. How embarrassing it is.
But even so, the paper mill project took over after Fiona sent the caravan away.
Because there is no need for too complicated buildings, the paper mill was completed in just a few days.
The paper mill as a whole is like a huge factory building, which is cool and ventilated, and there are shelves built according to Tang En's requirements everywhere.
And in the papermaking workshop, there is a real assembly line, from raw materials entering the factory, to pulping and mixing, to boiling and sedimentation, to filtering and extracting pulp, and discharging waste water...It was completely restored according to the impression in Tang En's mind. When it comes out, although it is still different from the real paper mills on the earth, there is no problem at all in operation.
Since Tang En trained not many workers at the beginning, he did not design a second production line. With the assistance of various magical equipment produced by Tang En, the daily production capacity of five workers in this production line is already terrifying. , can produce nearly a ton of finished paper!
To be honest, this is even comparable to some small paper-making workshops on the earth, and it has zero pollution...
These papers are yellow papers that have not been bleached and purified, but because Dunn used various magics to perfect the process, the quality of the produced paper is very good, soft and durable, whether it is used for writing or The butt wipes are very good, and they are far superior to those expensive papers sold on the market before. [e1]
But Tang En still felt unsatisfied. If he could find some natural gel, coupled with bleaching, the quality of these papers could be improved to another level, and it would be more suitable for making books and spreading culture.
It's a pity that the natural gel can't be found, and Tang En has no idea how to make the industrial gel, so he can only make do with it now.
"You must pay attention, there are no people around the waste water pool, once it is full, just press this switch, and do nothing else. If the waste water pool is not full, don't touch here."
Tang En used magic to dig out a huge waste water pool next to the paper mill, and then placed an Arcanite plate at the bottom of the waste water pool. On the Ordinary plate, he depicted a simplified version of the portal, opposite to the fire element He used the principle of magic resonance to connect the switch that controls the magic circle of the portal to a switch outside. There is a magic crystal built into it, and even ordinary people can open the portal.
In order to prevent these workers from forgetting to close the portal and causing the elemental creatures in the fire element world to pass through the portal, Tang En improved the magic circle. The miniature portal inside will only open for a minute and then close automatically. This time is enough to drain the sewage Empty.
Tang En and Fiona stood by the production line and watched the first batch of pulp being flattened and hung up for drying before leaving the paper mill satisfied.
"I didn't expect papermaking to be so simple..."
Fiona became emotional: "When our paper appears in the market, those merchants who sold paper in the past will probably hate us to death."
"This is the pace of the times. If you can't keep up with the development, you will be eliminated."
Tang En shrugged: "By the way, how is the matter of you recruiting people to work in the steel mill going?"
Fiona smiled bitterly: "I've already sent people to contact people everywhere, but the problem is that there are not enough people and the efficiency is a bit slow. Even if I wait for them to look at the signboard, they may not be sure when."
"That's it..."
Tang En pondered for a moment, clapped his hands, and said, "Leave this matter to me. It just so happens that the paper mill is already in place, and that thing can also be in place."
"That's up to you."
"Don't worry... By the way, how do you feel after using the toilet paper?"
"It's very comfortable——" the voice stopped abruptly, and Fiona glared at Tang En with a face full of shame and anger: "You, you, you—stinky rascal!"
