survival in the wilderness

Chapter 116

The people in the workshop almost cried with joy, feeling that they had achieved success.

But when he saw Lin Yan shaking his head slowly, it was as if a basin of cold water was pouring down his head.

Bai Chen's heart skipped a beat, "You mean it didn't work?"

Seeing everyone's nervousness, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, these papers seem to be successful, but they still need to be improved. If you observe carefully with your mental power, you will find the difference."

When Bai Chen heard it, she hurriedly looked at it, and after a few minutes, she discovered the problem.

"Thinner paper dries thoroughly, while thicker paper is only dry on the surface, and the moisture inside has not evaporated completely, and there is still residue."

"Good. We overlooked a problem."

Bai Chen nodded, "Different papers should have different drying times, but we forgot to consider this when drying."

"That's right. The drying time and temperature have an effect. We need to do many more experiments to determine the drying time and temperature for each type of paper."

This is a huge workload. The relationship between the number of times of papermaking and the temperature and time needs the support of experimental data to find the rules in order to better control the quality of papermaking.

Lin Yan didn't mention this before, because the requirements for paper are not that high, as long as the paper can be made and used.But when she personally participated in it, she made a mistake. Either she didn't do it, or if she did it, she had to consider it comprehensively, and all kinds of factors and variables had to be taken into consideration.

Bai Chen was inspired, and Lin Yan's words gave her a direction.The whole process seems simple, but in fact every process must be strictly controlled.

The two studied in the papermaking workshop for more than a month and found a little pattern.

In fact, the paper produced at this time can be used completely, and the pass rate has reached [-]%, but they are still not satisfied and want to increase the pass rate.

It has entered the cold season, apart from studying papermaking, Lin Yan's daily task is to teach Hongling and the others.

The difficulty of the class increased. She observed everyone carefully and found that they were fascinated and completely immersed in it.

Different from basic knowledge, it is a little more profound now, which involves a lot of abstract thinking, which can only be understood by imagination.

Yellow paper has also been produced, and everyone has paper to use.Each of them held a stack of yellow paper bound with twine, and used charcoal pens to record key points.

A thin notebook, 20 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide, with 25 pages in total.This is a new product from the paper workshop, and it sells for 1 dime.

There are also papers sold by the sheet, a sheet peeled off from the paper mold frame, 80 centimeters long and 60 centimeters wide, and the selling price is 2 cents.

The output of papermaking has not expanded, and the quantity is limited to sell so expensively.The current process has stabilized, and when the cold season passes, the scale will be expanded, and the output will increase, and the price of paper will naturally come down.

Many people have to hesitate for a long time before buying a sheet, and cut it into many small pages at home, reluctant to use it.

The people in the laboratory are all paid, and they have the back door of Bai Chen, so they are so extravagant, and everyone uses a small notebook.

Time passed quickly, and when Lin Yan was halfway through his class, it was already the end of December, the cold season was coming to an end, and the new year was about to begin.

The arbitral tribunal held a general meeting at the end of the year. In addition to the original civil servants, each group selected ten representatives to participate in the meeting.Summarize the major events that happened this year, and make plans for the coming year.

All the people in the laboratory participated. They raised various questions and listed the difficulties they encountered and the things that needed to be solved urgently.

It was also at this time that the participants discovered that everyone in the laboratory thought very differently from them.

For example, they are talking about rollers, millstones, rack carts, what are these things, they are all at a loss.

Although the people in the laboratory described it in detail, it was difficult for them to describe what it looked like without seeing anything.It's just that after knowing the purpose, I feel that it is necessary to arrange it.

The arbitral tribunal approved the laboratory's application for funding and approved their expansion of staff, taking into account everyone's opinions.

It’s okay not to agree, what they put forward is related to all aspects of life.

Everyone has long tacitly believed that the theme of next year is to open up wasteland and plant wheat. Seeing that January is coming, some people have already packed their farm tools and are waiting for the warm weather to go to the fields.

The first batch of wheat planters has already been selected, a total of [-] households, and each family can get [-] catties of wheat seeds. When the wheat is harvested, [-]% will be kept, and the rest will be handed over.

Since so much wheat needs to be planted, there is a great demand for the mills, millstones and rack carts that Lin Yan said.As they say, with the help of tools, the efficiency will be greatly improved, and it will not take longer.

A Lan said: "Under the leadership of Lin Yan, the people in the laboratory are all excellent, and they must work hard in the future. The arbitration court has discussed that you have made great contributions this year, and each of you will be given a bonus of 1 yuan."

Lin Yan said happily: "Thank you, Lan, we will definitely work hard in the future."

Who would be unhappy if you have money?

In the fifth year of the Sun Era, on January [-]st, [-] households were selected to come to Lin Yan's house to fetch wheat seeds.They are all excited to be selected.

Yesterday, Lin Yan had already called them together and explained the essentials of planting wheat for a day. It sounds very demanding, and they have to go to the fields every day to take care of them, but they are still very happy.

This is a great honor. As the first batch, it has a different meaning.

Just imagine, the wheat planted by every household in the future will be grown by them, what an honor that is.

Now that people's lives are getting better, the living standards of each family are gradually increasing, and comparisons between people naturally appear.

Who doesn't want to have a doll like Lin Yan, but it's a pity that I can only think about it.And those ten people in the laboratory, each one is the envy of others.

Every time Lin Yan gave out wheat seeds, he would earnestly advise him to cultivate the land with all his heart.Wheat is too squeamish to be compared with ju ma. It needs careful care before it can be harvested.

Every wheat-growing field has to be reported, and Huaxiang leads people to conduct spot checks from time to time, paying attention to the situation in the field at any time.

Lin Yan also had his own thoughts, but he didn't say it out loud.She plans to wait for the wheat seeds to be sprinkled on the ground, so she has to visit them frequently and make records to lay the foundation for future planting.

This year, her plan is to be optimistic about the wheat in the field.It's just that she doesn't have to go to the fields to work this year.

Huahong has experience, but she is afraid that she will be too busy alone, so Lin Yan's family only grows three acres of wheat.

More than half of the land circled at the beginning has been reclaimed, and a large area is wasteland.

Huahong plans to open up all the fields this year, so that they can all be planted with wheat next year.

Seven or eight days later, after the soil thawed in the cold season, Tie Er took the ox and the iron plow to plow the land for Lin Yan's family. There were about eight acres of land, and they turned over all of it in one day.

When Huahong came back at night, she said enviously, "The ox and the plow are so easy to use. It would be nice if we had a cow at home sometime."

"What do we need cows for in our little land? The cows have to be fed on time and on schedule every day, so it's very difficult to take care of them. Mom, let's just pay Tie Er and the others to plow the land."

Lin Yan was not envious, the cow was easy to use and could eat a lot, so someone had to take care of it every day.

　The order is wrong, let’s look at it first, let the editor adjust it tomorrow
