Chapter five hundred and ten papermaking
The Sinan was successfully manufactured, and after effective use, Chen Bei ordered people to build more Sinan and Mang tribe fleets, each ship was placed at least two, one used and one used.
Afterwards, Chenbei asked Ya to go to the Chuanshan Tribe to trade some magnets.
Then, on this basis, the craftsmen made some portable Xiao Sinan and sent a few to each team of soldiers of the Mang tribe to take them. If they were lost in the dense forest or in the desert, they could use it.
Of course, the premise is not to enter some special areas.
There are some special areas where the magnetic field is chaotic, and the magnet will fail, and even the most powerful compass is useless.
After making the compass, the Mang tribe began to carry out large-scale spring plowing sowing, and as long as there are free people, they will participate.
Chen Bei also participated, but he didn't work for a long time, mainly to let everyone know that the leader attaches great importance to spring plowing and sowing, and does not necessarily have to do a lot of work.
After returning from the field, Chenbei also prepared the land in his yard and planted some vegetables and other things.
Then, he carried a hoe and went to Qingzhu's yard to help grow herbs.
Qingzhu held a hoe and chatted while working.
"There are too many things that have happened these days, and they are all very important. The recorded animal skin rolls are piled up half of the room."
"It is not easy to make an animal skin roll, and it consumes very quickly. I can only write a small paragraph and try to write things a little simpler."
"Even so, the more and more animal skin rolls are piled up. It is very troublesome to prevent moisture and insect damage."
If it were another tribe, a big event would not have happened in a few years. The animal skin scroll used for recording was not used at all. It would not have been used for generations, or even dozens of generations, but it would not have been filled with a room.
But the Mang tribe is different. Because of Chenbei, there are too many new things in the Mang tribe, which happens from time to time. As a witch, it is impossible not to record it.
This leads to more and more animal skin rolls pile up, and it is not easy to keep.
Qingzhu just complained to Chenbei, but she didn't know that the speaker was unintentional and listened to intentional.
Chen Bei suddenly thought that it was time to use something to replace the expensive and heavy and difficult-to-preserve animal skin roll.
This kind of thing is paper.
Papermaking, Chen Bei only saw other people's demonstrations when he was traveling out of curiosity. He was not sure about the specific details.
After all, he is not an omniscient and omnipotent person. Many things in the Mang tribe are created by relying on some memories in Chen Bei's mind, and then constantly trying them.
The same is true for papermaking, because he can't remember the details, so he can only find craftsmen to try and make it. He keeps trying and making mistakes, spends a little more time and can always make it.
The core of papermaking is to degumming and disperse the raw materials into fibers through soaking, steaming and cooking.
Chenbei remembers this very clearly because in order to succeed in papermaking, the raw materials must be broken into very thin and short fibers, and then they are picked up through the bamboo curtain and re-formed a piece of paper.
As for how to degummize the raw materials and break them into fibers, this is a bit troublesome. You need to try cutting, pounding, soaking, steaming, rinsing, etc.
Fortunately, after becoming a god, Chen Bei's health and brain have brought great improvements, and his memory has also been improved.
Things that I couldn’t remember clearly in the past became clear after becoming a god, but when I recalled, they became clearer.
"Maybe, I can make something that will replace the animal skin roll."
Chenbei put down his hoe and approached the green bamboo.
"Really? What kind of thing is it?" Qingzhu asked curiously.
"This thing, called paper, can be cut into squares, bound into books, written and drawn on it with a fine animal brush."
"Although the paper is not as strong as the skin of an animal, it is very thin and can write a lot of things and does not occupy a place."
"So, if you write on all the texts recorded on the animal skin rolls in your room, you probably only need a small box to hold it."
"The most important thing is that the raw materials of paper are much easier than animal skins. Tree bark, broken fishing nets, old linen, grass, and even bamboo can be made."
Qingzhu's eyes lit up and she said, "It would be great if there is such a good thing."
Qingzhu did not ask Chen Bei how he knew this thing. She naturally believed that the Totem God had taught Chen Bei a lot of things.
She chose to ignore that the former Mang tribe was also the same totem god, but she did not make these strange but practical things, and there was no trace of them even in the witch's inheritance.
Because she completely trusts Chen Bei and will not inquire about Chen Bei’s secrets. This is Qingzhu’s cleverness.
Others in the tribe didn't know, or didn't dare to inquire, because Chen Bei had previously pushed all these contributions to the Totem God.
Except for Wu and Chenbei, who can ask the totem god?
Therefore, no one questioned the source of these things Chen Bei took out, nor did anyone dare to question them.
Chen Beidao: "It will take a little time to make it happen, and I'm not sure how long it will take."
Qingzhu said: "Anyway, the animal skin roll has been used for so many years, so it is not a short time. As long as it can be made, it will take as long as it takes."
Chen Bei nodded and said, "Then I'll try it out."
Chenbei and Qingzhu turned over the ground, planted various herbs and strange plants, and then carried a hoe to his yard.
He carefully recalled the papermaking method he had seen in his previous life, thought about it, and found some garment workshop owners to weave it.
Most of the craftsmen in the garment workshop are women, but they are generally big and round-hearted, so they are not weak women.
"I want to make something called paper that can be used for writing. If it can be made successfully, then our miraculous tribe will not need to make so many animal skin rolls."
Making animal skin rolls is also a task in a garment workshop. It is more complicated than making animal skin jackets, because hair removal and softening are required.
Hearing that there was no need to make a animal skin roll, Zhi immediately became interested in what Chenbei said about "paper".
"Chief, how did you do it?"
Chen Bei thought for a while and replied, "You can find a few people for me, and I'll let them try it first."
"good!"
Zhima immediately found a few strong women and asked them to cooperate with Chenbei to try to make paper.
