The Pioneering Era of Crossing the Orc World - Chapter 83
Can it be made into a rope or thread-like fiber, thread? Maybe it can be done with that rose, ha ha. “
Chi listened and wrote down silently. “If it’s wood, we have these. I don’t know what hemp is, but what He said can also be made with soft silk. But soft silk is so small that it would be a waste of resources. Also, the slime he said There was a lot of mucus in the silk when we cut the vine. I don’t know if the vine bark can be used.”
Yes, if it works, wouldn’t it save a lot? You know, after the vine is cut, they only take the vine silk, and throw away the mucus and vine bark. Suddenly Xia He became interested. He hadn’t thought about doing these things carefully before, but now suddenly realized that it didn’t seem to be as difficult to do as he thought.
After discussing it again, he asked Chi to hit two more boards of the same size. “Puff, Chi, how do I feel that you have switched from iron work to carpentry.”
“Well, as long as the river needs it, I can switch to any job.” Chi kiss rubbed his neck and said indignantly.

70.Paper…
“Hey, He, call me to come over and see if I can help.” Ye said when he came to Xia He’s side.
“Of course there is, it would be best if you come, ha ha. Come, help me cut this pile of things up.” Xia He pointed to the pile of sundries under the board and said. “Cut them while stirring them, and chop them as much as they can. In the great papermaking industry, your mission is indispensable. After you succeed, you will be a great contributor to the papermakers in the orc world! You may be famous for a long time. The orcs in future generations will admire you.”
Ye listened happily, “Well, for this, I am willing to touch all the dirty things!”
Because it’s the first time to do it, it can be considered as an experiment first. Peel off the bark of a piece of wood at one end, chop it, and set aside. Then chop up the soft vine bark and the mucus in the house together. It’s almost done afterwards, and then chop them together and twist them into a mud.
You don’t need any skill to do this, just strength, and you’ll know after Ye Ye finally chops and pants again and again.
“Okay, Ye, you take a rest first, and I will take the rest.” Pour a cup of tea for Ye and let him rest.
Put the pot into the red-iron shed, place it on the stove, add water until the fragments in the pot are about three inches high, stir again, cover the pot and leave it for two days. So he couldn’t figure out why it should be left for two days. He always felt that if the various miscellaneous pieces crushed in the pot were soaked and melted, they would disperse immediately, and then it would be much easier to boil them. Because I don’t know whether there will be harmful toxins from boiling this pulp, Xiahe still moved it out to cook for safety.
Two days passed when the adults were full of expectations, but He was very entangled in his heart. Xia He went to the backyard and lifted the lid of the pot, and a strange smell came out, but fortunately it was just a faint smell. With all the eyes in full view and many discussions, the fire began to be ignited under the stove. About two hours later, the debris in the pot began to roll, and the lid was lifted again, full of steaming steam. Fortunately, he has the foresight, Xia He is wearing a mask, pregnant people can not smell harmful gases casually.
Stir it lightly with a wooden stick several times, the debris inside is not completely saturated and melted together. The rest is to boil slowly. Don’t be impatient to boil this. You must be patient, because you don’t know how many times longer it will take to boil the scraps. Xia He asked the spectators to go back first. It was morning time, and wait until the afternoon to try to see if they could make a paste, and asked them to come back in the afternoon.
“He, let me watch the fire. Go and avoid it. Didn’t you say that the pulp may be poisonous? Go ahead, it will affect the little tiger cub in the stomach.” Ye told Xia He to go back to the house and stand upright. It’s not suitable to watch a big belly by the stove, besides, a pregnant woman shouldn’t be able to do anything.
“Well, you have worked so hard. I’m not sure if there is a poisonous smell in cooking these things, but what is certain is that the pulp must not be used for eating. When you stir, make your movements lighter, and don’t let the pulp go to your eyes. Inside…” Because they were not at ease, it was the first time they made pulp. Xia He told Ye Ting all the things he knew to pay attention to. Although the pulp in the pot did not contain modern chemical materials, the rattan bark must be toxic. In order to prevent any accidents, Ye was asked to wear a mask all the time.
When I came to the place where Chi was doing woodwork, there were already four rectangular wooden frames next to them, and one side of the wooden frames were inlaid with flat wooden blocks, like a pallet.
When Chi saw Xia He, he let him sit down, saying that he had two more and finished.
“It’s okay, I’m not tired. By the way, the stone bed in the empty room is already on fire, right?” Xia He asked.
“Well, I started to ignite in the morning, and it will be very hot if it burns into the afternoon with such a big fire. But I still don’t know what the river is going to do next. These wooden frames and hot stone beds are needed to make paper. ?”
It’s no wonder Chi doesn’t understand, Xia He is also half-meng and half-practical. In the past, the pieces of paper were not just used as a flat thing to cushion them. The pulp was originally warm, and it was dried or dried with fire. As for whether it could be done successfully in the end, he was not sure about it, but he didn’t go. Try and never know what the result will be.
“I plan to put the pulp in a wooden frame and then dry it on a stone bed. If it fails, I’ll give up.” Xia He said.
! !
In the afternoon, apply for time. The backyard of Xia He’s house is full of excitement. Children come and watch because of curiosity, while adults have to learn the process.
Lift the wok down carefully with a wooden stick, and use a wooden stick to overturn the lid one meter away from the wok. Hot steam emerged immediately, followed by the smell of pulp, which is like The dampness of wood and grass is not unpleasant.
There was half a pot of pulp that was boiled to mash in the pot, but it was originally half a pot, but now it is very thick. Add a little water and stir again to make it a diluted pulp. Then use a wooden spoon to pour half a scoop on the wooden frame. The only thing to note is that it must be very thin and evenly spread. There are six wooden frames in a row. Then put it on the stone bed, use a long wooden board with cotton inlaid under the wooden board, and then wrap it with cloth to make it level. Use the wooden board to compact the pulp underneath, and then start drying.
When you pour the pulp, you will pick out the larger coarse grains, and ignore the ones that look like fine sand. The pulp is very hot and looks very dirty, and there will be drips when poured on the wooden frame. If you accidentally pour it on yourself, the consequences will be unimaginable. So Chi didn’t let Xia He do it, but now he does everything by himself.
“Can this be baked into paper? It’s amazing.”
“I don’t know, just keep looking, everything He does is to act with confidence.”
“Ah~ I heard that this paper can also be used for painting. You certainly don’t know what painting is. Hehe, painting is to draw you on paper~”
“Really?!”…
Xia He listened to the orcs’ talk with a smile and didn’t explain. Leaning to the hot bed, the pulp has been dried for a few minutes, and it is obvious that he smells the wood shreds of dried paper. After another half of the meeting, he removed the plank and moved the wooden frame down the stone bed in a spirit of excitement. There were six sheets in total, two of them were too thick to be folded, and they broke as soon as they were folded and failed. And for the rest, Xia He thoughtfully raised the paper in his hand, thick and thick yellow, not smooth, foldable and bendable. But, can anyone tell him that the paper is not white and soft? What is in my hand…Paper. Well, he hasn’t used rough straw paper before. When he was young, he used straw paper to wipe his butt!
“He, the paper is sheet by sheet. It seems to be successful, but it doesn’t seem as white or as thin as the paper you brought. Is this…is it successful?” Chi also asked nervously. . The orcs next to them are full of expectations, after all, the paper is all given high expectations.
In order to let the people of the tribe not be disappointed, Xia He straightened his face and said to them with a consistent smile, “Well, paper is successful.”
“He~” Chi Xian was the first to react and hugged Xia He happily, and kissed his face from time to time.
After the tribe’s cheers, Xia He continued, “You have seen these papers. It must be watered thinly and evenly. Also, because most of it is made of trees, I don’t want everyone to treat the trees from now on. Deforestation, if there is such a phenomenon…I will drive that person out of the tribe, no matter who it is.”
“We understand, as I said before, if we want to destroy these trees, we will be destroyed by the sky. So please rest assured that we know how to recycle them.” . Most of the people watching from the side are females, because at this time the males also come out to hunt or do other things.
Xia He nodded in satisfaction, and finally encouraged them to try using other plants at home to see if they could be boiled into pulp. In particular, they must not eat it. It can be said that Xia He’s heart is always restless, feeling that they should not leave the papermaking work to them.
“Wait a minute, uh, I’m still very worried about you making paper, so you don’t want to make it yourself when you go back. I will discuss with him after the hunting comes back to see how to unify the matter. Let’s go tomorrow. , You will come back tomorrow.” Not doing things that are uneasy is one of Xia He’s principles in life.
Although it was unclear, the people still did.

71.Teaching…
It was after dinner when I suddenly came, and I found out after asking. Meng specifically said that Xiahe’s family is already a family with a large population, so try to eat as little as possible.
