A group of children returned to the laboratory with the meals prepared for Mao Mu and Lin Yun.
The iron-making process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Mao Mu and Lin Yun have been working hard, but they are willing to do so.
After eating the meal that Lin Yan and the others brought back, the two of them started to praise each other again.
Lin Yan looked at the ore in the furnace. The charcoal was still not durable. It would be better if there was coal.
In the three months since she left, Maomu and his people burned a large amount of charcoal of varying quality, which happened to be used for iron making.
Seeing that everyone was there, Hua Min asked Lin Yan: "What plans do we have next? The school started a month ago, and we only need to take turns teaching them how to read and write every day. The rest of the time can be done by yourself." .”
"There's a lot going on. I found a good way to make paper and pen, and it's up to you to do it."
"Really? Come on, let's do it right away?" Hua Min said hurriedly.
Bai Chen also looked at Lin Yan, wondering if there was really a good way to make paper. In the past, they had to make toilet paper by themselves, and it was completely unusable.
Lin Yan went out for a trip. How did he find a solution?
This thought passed by in a flash, and Bai Chen didn't delve into it.
Because Lin Yan had already started talking about the papermaking process, Bai Chen hurriedly concentrated on listening.
After Lin Yan finished talking about the making of paper, he started talking about the making of pen and ink.
After listening, Shuisheng first asked: "These methods seem simple, but we lack a lot of things, and it is not easy to make them. We don't have any of the various substances that need to be added to make paper. The tools are not difficult to make, etc. Once the pig iron is smelted, it can be used to make various molds to make knives. With sharp knives, making tools is not a problem."
"That's right. That's why we have to work together to study and test and find alternatives. Paper is very important and must be made as soon as possible."
Lin Yan looked solemn, "With paper, everything will be there. When the paper is made, there will be books. I am also planning to use paper to make currency. These days, everyone will work together to strive for early success."
She wanted to move the books out of the science and technology museum, but she couldn't do it without paper.
At this moment, Shui Sheng and the others felt pressure rushing towards them. Lin Yan had never looked at them so solemnly.
Now that we have a method and how to implement it, a group of people gathered together to discuss it all afternoon, listed the things to be done, and divided the work.
Mao Mu and Lin Yun were mainly responsible for smelting iron, while Shui Sheng helped them smelt knives.
The rest of the people devoted themselves to making paper and pen and ink, creating tools, formulating methods, and conducting a lot of experiments.
Everyone in the laboratory was busy and had no time to do anything else.
Hua Min suggested that classes at the school should be suspended for now, and then classes would start again when the busy school here is finished.
Lin Yan felt that it was feasible. The most important things at the moment were paper making and pen and ink, and other things could be put on hold.
While Lin Yan was immersed in the experiment, Heitu came over.
Seeing Lin Yan's disheveled appearance, Kurotsuchi was surprised, "What are you doing? How did you end up like this?"
Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, "I'm busy doing experiments, what do you want from me?"
She is very busy, working with various bottles and jars every day, observing and analyzing test results. Failure again and again aroused all Lin Yan's enthusiasm. She was immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
Kurotsuchi looked at the liquids of various colors on the table in front of her. Some were dark and smelly, which was unbearable. He looked at the stains on the linen clothes on her body and didn't ask any questions.
"It's been three days since I came back. They have thought about it and agreed to your proposal. They have come to have a meeting with you to discuss some details."
"I don't have time." After Lin Yan finished speaking, he remembered that there was also a big event over there and couldn't delay, so he added, "Okay, I'll go there after I've cleaned up."
Kurotsuchi waited for half an hour. He walked around the room and found that everyone was very busy, similar to Lin Yan.
This group of children worked really hard, no less than when they encountered the vicious beasts.
"You can go." Lin Yan hurried out of the house without cleaning himself up.
Seeing her like this, Kurotsuchi couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you wash your face and change your clothes?"
Looking down, Lin Yan thought it was okay, "No, time is urgent, let's leave quickly."
When they arrived, everyone was already there, waiting for him.
The meeting was held in a classroom, and there were no stools. During class, the children just spread out straw mats on the ground and sat around.
Everyone was not particular about it, they just found a place to sit or stand, surrounding Huang Ye and Alan in the middle. Seeing Kurotsuchi and Lin Yan come in, the conversation stopped immediately.
Huang Ye said: "You are here, come and stand here." She pointed to the position next to her.
Kurotsuchi walked over without hesitation. Lin Yan was stunned and followed him.
After seeing Lin Yan's appearance clearly, Alan couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing? Why are you so dirty all over your body and your face is so dirty?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I'm busy doing experiments. I don't care about so much. Hehe, let's get down to business." Finish it quickly, she has to rush back and continue working.
Seeing that Lin Yan was okay, Huang Ye said loudly: "Everyone is here, let's get started." He glanced at Alan and asked her to continue.
Alan didn't hesitate and immediately continued: "We all agreed to establish an arbitration tribunal to manage the affairs of Sun City. Under the arbitration tribunal, there are the Guards, the Finance Department, the Industry Department, the Science and Technology Department and the Materials Department. Under the Industry Department, there is a woodworking tribunal. There are factories, smelters and kilns; there are schools and laboratories under the scientific research department. There are two hundred people in the escort team, and they will be managed by Kurotsuchi. He has experience; the heads of other departments will need to discuss it again. Lin Yan, you have Tell us what you think, and we will discuss it again and try to finalize the matter today."
Lin Yan was surprised after hearing this. After thinking about it for a few days, they still got results. They expanded on the points she raised, which was better and more comprehensive.
She thought for a while and said: "Since they are all called the Ministry, why not change the escort team to the Military Department. It sounds like they have the same level."
"That's fine, it's just a name." Huang Ye expressed her opinion that it didn't matter what she called her.
Others also agreed to change the name to the Military Department.
Lin Yan continued: "The Finance Department has to check the accounts of various departments and manage the issuance of currency. Do you have any ideas about what to use as currency?"
Alan smiled bitterly, "We have tried our best, but we haven't found anything that can be used as currency as you mentioned. We need you to come up with a solution."
Lin Yan said directly: "I have some ideas. I have been busy with people in the laboratory recently. I plan to use banknotes. When the paper is made, we specialize in researching a special paper to make currency, with numbers and numbers printed on it. The pattern is difficult to copy. It is easy to carry and comes in different denominations and sizes to meet various needs."
The idea of paper has long been spread in the city, and the children in the laboratory have been tinkering with it, but they haven't seen the finished product yet, so they can't make a conclusion for the time being.
