Chapter 57 Papyrus

When Shuisheng and the others heard about the school being built, they were silent for a while.

Neither of them thought that Lin Yan and Huang Ying's trip would bring about such a big change.

"This is a good thing. There are many children who want to go to school. With schools, they can go to school like us." Hua Min thinks it's nothing but a good thing.

Shi Zhi said: "Since you think so, then you should be responsible for being a teacher and attending classes. I still have to do various experiments and I don't have time."

"Just go. I like to teach others and pass on the knowledge I have learned to more people, so that they can also know the mysteries of the world."

Hua Min didn't feel embarrassed, she was happy to do it.

Lin Yan glanced at Hua Min in surprise, "You really like class?"

"Yeah, it's quite interesting."

"Then I'll leave the school affairs to you. We still have a lot of things to do." Seeing that Hua Min didn't seem to be joking, Lin Yan made a decision immediately.

She has a lot to do, and the purpose of training ten of them is to share their burdens and create a new world together.

The school is indeed a big deal, the cradle of cultivating talents, so it would be nice to let Hua Min take charge of it.

Hua Min was happy, "Okay, then I will take full responsibility. But with so many children, I am definitely not enough as a teacher, and you have to help with the class."

"This is easy to do. You can arrange to go to school if you have time. The main thing is that you have to do it yourself."

No one else had any objections. No matter Hua Min was in charge, they also had their own things to be busy with, so they could still do it just by taking the time to go to class.

The matter was settled like that. Lin Yan and Hua Min gave some opinions on building a school and asked Hua Min to plan the school by herself. She completely let it go.

Lin Yan left the planning of the laboratory to Shui Sheng. He was meticulous and considered a lot. As long as she made some suggestions, Shui Sheng could do it well.

In addition to observing the papermaking experiments, the remaining people also have to focus on the transformation of the textile machinery, and they must not leave behind the burning of charcoal.

There are a lot of things to do, there are only a few of them, and everyone is very busy.

Lin Yan has an overview of the whole situation, checks everything, puts forward her own suggestions based on the situation, and asks her to guide them when they encounter problems, allowing them to find solutions.

After being so busy for nearly twenty days, it was the end of January.

Construction of the school and laboratory has already started and is half-finished, and will be completed in a few days.

The papermaking experiment was successful for the first time. They used reed leaves to make an extremely rough piece of straw paper, which was yellow and black. There were holes in the paper everywhere. You could even see the traces of leaves, horizontal and vertical. It was fragile and

It's prickly, but it's finally taking shape.

The reed leaves are soaked, turned into slurry, and then pressed and dried to produce the only piece of shaped straw paper.

Bai Chen opened his mouth wide and said blankly: "Is this paper?"

Seeing Lin Yan carefully unfolding the straw paper she made in surprise, why did she feel that this was not the same thing as the paper Lin Yan was talking about.

Lin Yan beamed with joy, "This is paper, straw paper, of course only the roughest kind. Bai Chen, you succeeded."

Others gathered around, everyone was dumbfounded. Is this what they were looking forward to?

After being happy for a while, Lin Yan realized that everyone's expressions were not right, "Don't believe it, this is the most primitive paper. We can make it, and we can make better paper soon. First, remove the holes in the straw paper

Try to remove all the holes and make it smooth and flat, then you can write."

She is not worried at all that she won't be able to make it. With this, when she has accumulated enough contribution points, she should have a method for making paper. By then, with a detailed method, she will have bright white paper.

Shi Zhi was dubious and stretched out his hand to touch the piece of papyrus. As a result, before he exerted much force, the paper tore a bigger hole.

"This, this is too, too easy to break."

The others nodded in unison, and after seeing Shi Zhi's actions, they tacitly took back their outstretched hands.

Despite their suspicious looks, Lin Yan said firmly: "This is the prototype of the paper, it's guaranteed to be fake. Just imagine, there are no holes in the straw paper. It's smooth, flat, even in thickness, and the color is not this dark brown.

But bright white, or other colors, then that’s the paper you can use.”

"Can it really be made like that?" Hua Min still didn't believe it, could that thing really be made?

"Of course, the prototype is already there. If we continue to work hard, we will succeed. I believe in you."

Lin Yan poured out a bowl of chicken soup, and the others gained confidence and started tossing again.

Especially Bai Chen, she was the first person to make papyrus. After comparing the experimental processes in detail, they found the differences and made improvements.

The days were full and hurried. Ten days later, the school and laboratory were completed. They are located on the east side of Sun City, near the drinking water canal.

This side is far away from the pika plain and is blocked by rows of houses in the middle, making it relatively safer.

The school was sited in Groups 7 to 10, spanning three groups and covering a large area. Three rows of houses were built, with eight houses in each row. Each house was paved with floor tiles and was empty inside.

The courtyard wall encloses a large open space for the playground.

The playground was Lin Yan's suggestion. She believed that children should exercise since childhood. Now that they are eating better and their physical fitness can keep up, they should exercise more.

If you want to get out of this place, you will have to go through many difficulties and dangers on the way. Thinking about those huge beasts, you must have a good physique.

She also exercised with Shui Sheng and the others every day, running along the Central Avenue in the morning.

Compared with the simplicity of the school, the laboratory is much more sophisticated.

The laboratory and the school are separated by a hundred meters. It is a large courtyard with two rows of houses facing each other. There are ten rooms in one row and the courtyard wall is built.

Although the conditions were limited, they brainstormed and built a test bench and storage shelves for cans in the room with bricks. They also added heating facilities, and left a flue when building the wall to ensure that the room would be warm during the cold season.

heating inside.

The two large courtyards were completed and became the two largest areas in Sun City. People would come to take a look out of curiosity.

Especially the children, they come to visit the school one after another, thinking that they will go to school here in the future.

The laboratory was put into use immediately, and Shui Sheng and the others moved in the jars for the papermaking experiment one after another.

Bai Chen, Lan Yue and Lin Yun were mainly responsible for the papermaking experiment, and they invested in it after moving in.

Shi Zhi, Hong Ling and Ye Cong are responsible for improving the textile machinery. The main body has been completed, but there are still some fine details that have not been completed.

Hua Min, Shui Sheng, Mao Mu, and Huang Ying began to prepare for school. What to teach the children, how to arrange time and personnel, etc. all had to be planned in advance.

Lin Yan was rooted in the laboratory, always paying attention to the progress of papermaking experiments and textile machinery.

Since the new textile machinery had not yet been produced, people always had to wear clothes and needed a lot of linen. As an expert in this field, Hongling held a seminar just after the cold season to promote the original textile machinery and let people

Use it first. Wait for the new spinning machine to come out before replacing it.
