Qin Shi Mingyue's infinite punch card

Chapter 240 Perfect Papermaking!
Two days later, Ye Chen was holding two pieces of paper in his hand, one of which was yellow straw paper, which was similar in color to the one he had made before, but it was much smoother, and the self written on it was quite clear.

But even so, it can be clearly seen that there are many impurities in it, and the toughness is not very good, and it will break after repeated folding several times.

If it is placed in later generations, such paper will make people feel panic when wiping their ass.

However, in this era, this thing is a rare treasure. Not only is it light and thin, but the writing experience is better than brocade silk.

The most important thing is that it is cheap and can be mass-produced.In addition, as a consumable product, the demand will only increase. As long as the next better writing tool does not appear, it will be in a monopoly position.

Once this thing is popularized, it is definitely a modest statement, even if it supports ten hidden sword villas, there will be no pressure at all.

Thinking of this, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he took out another piece of paper and looked it over.

The quality of this piece of straw paper is obviously much better than the previous straw paper. Not only is it soft and comfortable to the touch, but it is also more delicate and clear when writing.The toughness is also quite good, and it can still be used even after kneading into a ball.

Except that it has not been bleached, it is not much different from the paper used in later generations.

Then he looked at Gong Shuye, who was beside him, and said with a light smile, "As expected of a top master, it took only two days to produce such high-quality paper."

The efficiency of the other party is higher than expected. I thought it would be enough to improve the straw paper a little bit, but I didn't expect the harvest to be unexpected.

Sure enough, this kind of thing still needs to be done by professionals. After all, people who can make firearms in a hurry, doing this kind of thing is just a child's play.

Hearing the words of praise, Gongshu Ye smiled and said: "Actually, your original papermaking method is quite mature, but there are still some deficiencies in the specific operation, I just changed some details.

For example, the old man couldn't think of such a wonderful idea of ​​adding wood pulp to the original straw paper. I really didn't expect to use something that can be seen everywhere to make such a convenient writing thing. "

Ye Chen said: "I just have some ideas, but without your help, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to realize them."

"You don't have to be polite, I have learned a lot from this thin paper. Although this thing and gunpowder have different properties, they both have the power to turn decay into magic, the most mysterious thing in the world , than all things in nature.”

Gong Shuye said with emotion.

Ye Chen said: "Old Ye, you should also know what kind of function this thing has. Once it is released, it will be looted by countless people, and the benefits can be imagined.

I intend to sell these papers, firstly to earn some money, and also to do something for scholars all over the world.But you are indisputable credit for making this thing so successful.

Therefore, if you want to invite Mr. Ye to join the business with technology, the profits you will get in the future will definitely not disappoint you. "

Hearing this, Gong Shuye shook his head: "Old man, I am alone, what do I need so much money for? And this thing is made by you, even without me, I think it will be able to complete the production after a while.

When the time comes, if there is anything that needs help, just tell me. As for joining the group, forget it, and I will be clean. "

Ye Chen's expression changed when he heard the words, he didn't expect that the other party would not want the money that was sent to you, but after thinking about it, he probably understood what was going on.

At the beginning, he had donated the method of making lime to the other party, but now he refused such a huge sum of money, obviously because he wanted to repay the favor.

Knowing the joints, Ye Chen didn't force it, and said: "This junior has kept this matter in mind, if there is any need in the future, just let me know."

Gong Shuye nodded slightly when he heard the words, but did not refuse the kindness.

As the saying goes, human feelings are like saws, you come and I go.During this back and forth, the friendship between the two parties naturally deepened.

Although this may sound utilitarian, it is actually the case. After all, the essence of emotion is mutual feedback.

After chatting for a few words, Ye Chen returned to Hidden Sword Villa. Now that the paper production process has been perfected, the next thing to do is to expand the production scale.

There is no need to worry about not being able to sell this kind of thing. It is doomed that the supply exceeds the demand.

The production of paper is mainly divided into four parts. First, soak and cook the collected raw materials in lime water, and then take out the boiled raw materials and rinse them in a clear water pond to remove impurities.

Repeating this many times can make the fibers softer and easier to decompose and use.

And this is also the main reason why Ye Chen is confident to monopolize the industry, because the production of paper requires the use of lime, and lime is his exclusive item.

As long as no one can get lime, papermaking can't be replicated, and if they can, it'll be a mess.

The next second step is to crush the cooked material, and then add an appropriate amount of water to make the fibers completely separated and soaked in water, and become a wood pulp form.After that, the wood pulp paper is poured into the container for precipitation.

The next third step is to filter the wood pulp with a fine bamboo curtain, and filter the paper fibers on the bamboo curtain to form a paper film.

And this process is also the most laborious in the papermaking process. The craftsmen who make paper need to stand beside the paper tank and repeat actions such as scooping water and lifting the bamboo curtain.

For such physical work, in addition to having a certain amount of experience, one must also have good physical fitness to be competent.

As for the final step, the scooped bamboo curtain is laid upside down on the press plate, and it is carefully removed, and then this layer of paper film will fall on the press plate, slowly stacking layers of paper.

Afterwards, it is pressed with a heavy object to drain the moisture in the paper.Under the extrusion of heavy objects, the paper film will gradually form, becoming a piece of square paper.

So far, the papermaking has been truly completed. Although the whole process is not difficult, the process is quite complicated and requires a lot of experience. If there is no one to teach the production method, it is still very difficult to figure it out by yourself.

In the next few days, Ye Chen began to collect a large amount of raw materials and build boilers and other necessary tools.

For this reason, he mobilized all the people in Hidden Sword Villa, and with the efforts of thousands of people, these things were quickly settled.

And finally, it's time to start hoarding paper on a massive scale...
