The continuous cooking of bark makes the workers feel boring. They are all discussing what the prince wants to do, and they are actually on the bark bar which is of no use.

The workers have dumped a lot of hot turbid water, and now the four pottery urns are boiling with clear water.

Medvedt also used a long wooden pole to provoke the tycoon and turn the bark up to find out.

They have been boiled to relax, like birch leaves that have been soaked in water for a long time. Do not! The bark has indeed been soaked for too long. They become very fragile and can be easily crushed into powder by hand.

Wait a minute, is this what the prince wants?

Many preparations for papermaking have been completed in the past few days. Medvedt is neither deaf nor blind. He saw that a group of carpenters suddenly found work for the winter and actually stopped Wang Bus from waiting for the task. What he cares about is not how much the group of people can get, but what they are doing.

Women weaving and carpenters jointly made a batch of screens. According to Medvedt's cognition, his first thought was his experience at the Shilla Fort Mill.

Arik’s second daughter-in-law spent money to build a mill, and the wheat grains were crushed into powder, and then these sieves were further sieved into subdivisions, so as to make delicacies that only the big men have the right to enjoy.

This tool is not a rarity at all in Novgorod. It is used to sift fine clay powder, and the sifted powder can be used to make the best pottery.

"Either it is drying flour, or he wants to make pottery. His wives and concubines are all trained to be skilled craftsmen, and the women from White Tree Manor have very dexterous hands..."

After much deliberation, he never thought that it had something to do with papermaking or the production of so-called "cork boards".

The agreed three-day period has come. This is the morning of the fourth day. Rurik, who is wearing big wooden sunglasses, dressed up like a little polar bear. He brought a group of similarly dressed wives and concubines to inspect the goods.

Prince Rurik, he actually had a pair of **** eyes, half of his face was actually eyes? !

The workers were taken aback. They cast curious glances, watching the group of people take off the eye protection tools to reveal their true colors.

Sunglasses are used for the snowy winter life. This kind of equipment has been turned into an item of foreign wealth for the Principality of Ross, just don’t expect it to make a lot of money. However, men with a little money will buy it, so that in the winter, hunting, fishing, logging and other operations will not be blinded by the glare of the snow reflected.

"Everything is done?" Lurik asked happily.

Medved made the curious subordinates retreat, and then punched his chest to salute: "I promise with honor that I have successfully completed the task you assigned."

"I want to see the results before judging your actions. Stop boiling and pour out all the water, no matter what the bark looks like, pour out all of it."

"Yes."

Now the four pottery urns are too hot. Wipe off the carbon black on the outside with burlap, and paste the dough cakes on them. The cakes will be cooked in a short while.

The flame went out and the boiling water was poured out by the water. When the pottery urns had cooled down enough, they were pushed down on the "buffer pad" of the snowdrift made by the assault. The next work is exactly like digging out the ashes, except that it is full of yellow and white, which seems to be mixed with some brown substances.

Medvedt explained cautiously: "My lord, you should be able to guess that if one is boiled, the meat will be boiled and the bones will be boiled into pieces. The bark was originally very fragile, but now it seems to be dregs. .Unless all you need is scum."

The joy of not seeing these so-called bark liulik for a few days is hard to conceal. He saw these steaming things with his own eyes, piled together without the appearance of the bark.

Most of them still maintain the basic shape of flakes, but the boundary of the shape is very blurred.

Liu Lix simply pulled out the dagger and just thrust it in, a special feeling spread from the fingers to the head.

"Ah this! It's like the toilet is blocked by a lot of toilet paper mixed with bamboo and wood. It's just a big pile of things of this color!"

Speaking of pure white toilet paper, there is not much in Rurik's memory. The yellow-brown toilet paper seems to contain the power of nature and quietly becomes the mainstream. From a utilitarian point of view, the various plant pulps are often yellowish-brown, which can be processed and used, but to decolor it to white, only for disposable toilet paper, this biochemical decolorization step can be omitted.

Normal writing paper is naturally pure white. To make pure white paper, I am afraid that it lacks the ability. Traditional decolorization and degreasing methods such as boiling water boiling can only be done as well as possible.

Rurik could conclude that the bark just seemed to maintain its shape, and the fibers inside were almost in a state of unbroken condition.

Perhaps the effect of boiling for a few more days will be more ideal. Look at the overthrown Tao Urn, he is no longer equal. Seems unbroken? Then help it turn into a powder.

"Very good, you guys are doing very well."

Rurik accepted the sword and praised Medvete’s work, and said: “I will pay you today as agreed.” He increased his voice in order to make the workers and the number of workers present have reached the number. Hundreds of people who watched the crowd heard it.

"I still want to continue hiring you. I need strong Slavic warriors. As far as I am concerned, you can all. Come on, accept my new arrangement."

When the bark began to move, Rurik further learned that they had become paper in a certain sense.

The public stone mortar dedicated to pounding oats in the White Tree Manor was requisitioned by Rurik. The moist and soft bark that had been boiled for three days and three nights was thrown into it. Powder, these bark will also become powder.

White Tree Manor has never been exposed to rotating stone mills and rolling stone mills in previous life. Since stone materials have to be transported from afar, the mechanical structure of the equipment for processing grain is already very complicated, and advanced knowledge has not been obtained. It is difficult for them to do it independently.

The slightly shaped bark was finally crushed into powder, and in the process they were further dehydrated, and finally became something that Rurik held in his hand that could adhere to each other. They are not sticky at all and can absorb water efficiently by themselves.

If there is anything to describe them, it is probably that the toilet paper after absorbing water is dehydrated and shredded.

These rough and adhering objects, thrown into the water are the pulp of the pulp.

The next job The Slavic brawny can get revenge and exit happily. Next is the time for the Duke and his wives.

The melted snow water was slightly filtered, and then poured into five large wooden troughs originally dyed with twine.

Of course, White Tree Manor has such large-scale water-storing wooden equipment to meet his own needs, so Lurik doesn't have to think about making tanks for holding pulp himself, and a batch of wooden tanks with excellent use effects can be provided locally.

Standing in a large wooden house, Rurik’s wife and concubines, the idlers were evasive, in front of the curious wives and concubines, Rurik pointed to the wooden trough that had turned into five murky waters: "The tree The skin is reduced to tiny things, and they will be attached to the screen we made. When the paste is layered, we take the screen out, push the water out with a wooden board, and put the screen in the corner. We have I have struggled for many days and paid a sum of money. It is up to you to succeed or not!"

The girls held their breath, as if they were indeed the ones who decided success or failure.

Rurik clapped his hands last: "Let's start!"

Papermaking has entered the latter stage, and it is also the most critical step. Fortunately, everything is under Rurik's control.

Of course, there is a certain element of luck in this. If he only gets pure fiber, the paper he makes can be a good toilet paper, which is not suitable for writing. Birch bark also contains a lot of lignin, but it is cooked for three days and three nights and then pounded into powder. The long structure of lignin has not been completely destroyed.

The suspended fibers begin to adhere to the screen, and the board immediately presses off the surface moisture, and the entire screen begins to dry in the shade.

After all, this room has been decorated, and as many as fifteen oil lamps have been placed on the walls. The mixture of seals and whales burns slowly. Although the flame is weak, the temperature of the entire house is maintained at about 3°C.

Rurik and his concubines are working in cold water, which is not appropriate but also helpless.

The pulp is still not used up after a lot of work, but all the screens have begun to dry in the shade, and the whole house is lined up with the upright screens. At first glance, it looks like a machine's heat sink is pestle.

They began to rest, drinking some hot honey and chrysanthemum water to warm themselves up and waiting for a perfect result.

They did not wait too long.

When the paper begins to dry in the shade, they are already paper, the moisture dissipates freely, and the paper is still stuck on the screen.

They did this in the morning and came to inspect the goods just after the sun went down.

The long burning oil lamp group made the whole room not cold, the gauze nets still stood neatly, and the remaining pulp in the five wooden troughs was still in suspension.

Rurik took off the paper with his own hands. This is due to the lignin inside. The rougher paper gives Rurik feels like kraft paper. Not to mention, its color is also similar to that of a local cow (a kind of brown European cow). (Cattle) The coat color of a calf.

The paper is easy to peel off, its texture is harder, but fortunately it does not break after bending.

It is said that a piece of paper cannot be folded eight times. He couldn't challenge the limit this time. Folding four times verified that it showed no signs of breaking. Isn't it done?

The unidentified wives and concubines watched their men play with the so-called cork boards, they whispered and whispered.

When they saw Rurik's arrogant smile, they were convinced that they had succeeded.

Svetlana asked sweetly: "Are we successful now?"

"Successful! Completely successful. Come on all of you!" Rurik roared in excitement. He raised his right fist as if to greet thousands of troops to charge. "Take all... the cork board. Oh no, maybe you have to give it a simpler name now, and if you decide, call it paper."

In Europe or the world of Old Rome and Old Greece, the word used to describe paper is probably pronounced "paper". It is papyrus, and its structure is very similar to Oriental paper.

This vocabulary was originally the Phoenician language vocabulary "papyros". The Phoenician city Byblos monopolized the Mediterranean papyrus trade, and papyrus also became the name of the city. The city-state imported papyros from Egypt and exported it to the entire ring of Greece. The Aegean World and the Levant, thus amassed huge fortunes and prospered.

The word "paper" has a deep doorway. At least its syllables are short enough to make it easy to pronounce. Unlike the previous "cork board", it is actually a piece of three words.

Rurik succeeded in creating a paper made of birch bark, and instinctively told it that it could be used for writing immediately.

All the papers were peeled off, the size of fifty papers was exactly the same because of the standard screen, which is the inevitable roughness of the edge part.

The paper can be cut twice and divided into two by a knife, making it a good paper that can be written on both sides.

All the papers are put together in Rurik's hands. The heavy weight is so gratifying, as if holding equal weight gold.

Since there is still pulp for fertility, before things can get more gratifying, we should take advantage of it!

The era has entered here. At the end of AD 834, a brand-new papermaking technique from the far east, different from papyrus technology, was born in the forest of Northeast Europe!

Since Eastern Rome lost control of Egypt, the supply of papyrus has collapsed, causing some empires to pick up expensive parchment as writing materials.

Rurik knows the importance of paper to a civilization. It is the carrier of information, and can spread anyone's thoughts from it to distant places, even to people after a thousand years.

Of course, Rurik’s need for paper is an extremely urgent need. The Rus Principality has to calculate massive amounts of data for the first time after its birth, survey and map the total amount of farmland in the entire region of Lake Ilmen, and the preliminary population of Novgorod and surrounding farms The census is indeed a huge national project.

He asked his wives and concubines to use all the remaining pulp overnight, and he himself held a quill pen, dipped in the traditional ink from his hometown in Roseburg, and scribbled on the paper.

He is not graffiti, after all, paper is very precious. He draws some solid geometric patterns, what is called a tetrahedron, what is called a cube, and more complicated drawings.

Facts have proved that only for writing, these rough papers really have a texture of kraft paper, or even rougher. Fortunately, the so-called pen is actually the flying feathers of wild ducks or domestic chickens. It was originally widely used to make arrow feathers, and now it is suitable for writing pens. There is no need to worry about wearing out the nib at all. This quill pen is essentially a consumable. In order to calculate a large amount of data, Rurik has already prepared a batch of feathers for spare. The chicken underneath can be stewed in soup.

Ink made by traditional craftsmanship contains a certain amount of grease, and writing on this type of paper does not become a large piece of ink.

Excitement influences Rurik’s body~www.novelhall.com~ When the girls dragged their tired bodies to tell him that things were done, he made everyone sleep, only he had to continue to face one another in the room. A long bright oil lamp is alone.

Because Rurik was already drawing a map, he was re-engraving the map of Europe that had been painted on the patchwork wood on paper.

Four pieces of paper are put together into one, and Rurik is drawing the outline of Europe based on his own memory. It can be said that he understands the structure of this vast world better than any scholar in this time and space. An outline is not enough, he wants to add further details. The approximate directions of mountains and rivers are marked, and cities and small settlements in the Duchy of Ross need to be marked accurately!

This also includes other foreign cities unknown to the public.

This map of Europe can be continuously refined and revised. The map is drawn on paper without any mounting. In fact, the map itself is more informative than gold. The so-called dream of when a monarch is born to lay down a big territory and build a prosperous new world, this map is the best guide.

It is Rose's treasure, and it can only be Rose's treasure!

Moreover, it has a small body and is very easy to place. As long as you keep it dry, it can be stored for a thousand years.
