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 the school, they can go to school like us." Hua Min thinks it is nothing but a great 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, "Do 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 she wants to train the ten of them to share their burdens and create a new world together.
The school is indeed a big deal. It is the cradle of cultivating talents. It would be better 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. 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, so that they can 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, and you could even see the traces of leaves, horizontal and vertical, fragile and It's prickly, but it's finally taking shape.
The reed leaves are soaked and turned into slurry, which is 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 papyrus 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 get rid of 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, once she has accumulated enough contribution points, she should have a way to make paper. When the detailed method is available, the paper will be bright and clear.
Shi Zhi was dubious and reached out to touch the piece of papyrus. As a result, a bigger hole broke in the paper before he exerted much force.
"This, this is too, too easy to break."
The others nodded in unison, and after seeing Shi Zhi's actions, they retracted their outstretched hands in tacit agreement.
Despite their doubtful looks, Lin Yan said firmly: "This is the prototype of the paper. It is guaranteed to be fake. Imagine that there are no holes in the straw paper. It is smooth, flat, even in thickness, and the color is not this dark brown. But bright white, or other colors, that’s the paper you can use.”
"Can it really be made like that?" Hua Min still doesn't believe that it can 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. It is 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 is located between Groups 7 and 10, spanning three groups and occupying 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. A courtyard wall was built to encircle a large open space for a playground.
The playground was Lin Yan's suggestion. She felt 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 must go through many difficulties and dangers on the way. Thinking about those huge beasts, you must have a good physique.
She also exercised with Shuisheng 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 built opposite each other. There are ten rooms in one row and the courtyard wall is built.
Although conditions were limited, they brainstormed and built a brick test bench and storage shelves for the jars in the room. Heating facilities were also added, and flues were left when the walls were built to ensure heating in the house during the cold season.
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.
Children, especially, 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 Shuisheng 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 got involved 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 need 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 spinning machines 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 spinning machines and let people Use it first. Wait for the new spinning machine to come out before replacing it.
