Late night reading, please turn on the night mode for a better reading experience~

like unstrung beads into the basin.Waves of humiliation washed over my heart.She had thought, perhaps this life she would simply be an ordinary person, forgetting her past identity.But when it came do...Yang Lin passed a thick drawing to Zhao Shunzi.

"So many"

Zhao Shunzi hurriedly flipped through the blueprints, but the more she looked, the more confused she became.

"What's this"

What is this again

He doesn't not understand the blueprints, it's that what's drawn on them isn't even a blast furnace!

The furnace on the drawing is simply too large, and the requirements are extremely high. Even building such a furnace would require laying a foundation

"This... this is a furnace for forging steel"

"I said it was steelmaking!"

But, steel... what exactly is it Zhao Shunzi scratched her head.

"Let's put it this way, cast iron has the most impurities, followed by wrought iron, and steel has the least. Therefore, steel has greater hardness and strength than both cast iron and wrought iron, making it a more advanced metal material."

Zhao Shunzi's eyes widened with delight.

"Later, Uncle Shunzi, you personally select the people. If twenty isn't enough, add more. Make sure to do this quickly and get this furnace built!"

"Then, I will bring a new type of fuel called coke. With coke and this furnace, smelting steel will be no problem."

He patted Zhao Shunzi on the shoulder.

"Oh my God!"

Zhao Shunzi was also full of anticipation.

"And those previous parts, I'll make ten more sets of them these few days." Yang Lin said.

No problem.

Zhao Shunzi readily agreed.

After finishing their task, Yang Lin and Du Jing entered the house.

"Lin Di, you just said papermaking Are you serious"

As soon as he entered the room, Du Jing immediately asked.

Of course it's true.

But the paper is already very good now, how can you lower the cost any further

Du Jing looked at Yang Lin in astonishment.

Yang Lin smiled and said, “First of all, the cost can definitely be lowered further.”

Next, Jing Ge, do you really think the paper we used to scare you is already very good

Du Jing nodded blankly: "Is there any better paper"

Du Jing doesn't believe it.

In his view, paper is already very good now!

very thin and light, put on for decades, will not rot.

That's why he couldn't understand why Yang Lin would want to improve paper.

Is there still room for improvement

From the use of bamboo slips to the appearance of paper, people have been using this kind of paper for centuries, and no one has found it inappropriate.

If you have to say a drawback, there's just one word.

Dear!

Of course! And there's a lot of room for improvement, a very large amount.

Yang Lin sighed.

Upon arriving in this world, he found the paper of this world to be quite unfamiliar.

Not only is it thicker and rougher than paper from the previous life, but the color is also yellowed, even blackened, and it lacks flexibility.

Not to mention compared to the paper of previous generations, even Cai Lun's invention, Cai Hou paper, is far inferior!

"Really" Du Jing still didn't believe it.

"Of course," Yang Lin said, "The paper we're going to make will be lighter and thinner, with a soft texture, comfortable to the touch, pure white in color, free of impurities, and with high transparency. It's suitable for painting and magic, and it can even be used for printing!"

Du Jing was dumbfounded. Although he didn't know what printing was, he couldn't imagine that the kind of paper Yang Lin described really existed

"

I have written out the specific production processes.

"

Yang Lin took out a piece of paper and handed it to Du Jing.

There might be some details that are not quite right or some deviations, so continuous trial and improvement is needed.

Although Yang Lin said so, when Du Jing opened the manuscript, his eyes widened in astonishment. The more he read, the more shocked and amazed he became.

For a moment, he excitedly put down his paper and stood up with enthusiasm.

"I'm going to make paper now!"

If such paper could truly be created, one would surely become famous throughout history!

Yang Lin smiled and nodded. "You can choose anyone you want. Take as many as you need, and if you have any special requirements, just let me know. Just keep one thing in mind: be discreet!"

"From now on, your Design Workshop will be completely separated from the Smelting Workshop. I've just gotten a new set of houses, and you can move in with your people right away."

"Jing Ge, papermaking is not only a way to create immense profits but also contributes to lasting glory throughout history. Although I already have the theory here, don't rush it. Study it diligently and you will eventually succeed!"

Just as Yang Lin had left Du Jing, good news spread along the riverbank.

Both cement and coke have been burned!

When Yang Lin came to the riverbank this morning, he specially instructed them to use the coal brought back by Lao Heishan to burn cement again and teach them how to make charcoal.

The entire morning passed, and it was all successful!

Yang Lin rushed to the scene and personally tried it out, the result made him very satisfied.

Although the strength of the cement is not as good as later generations, mixing it with sand and water does indeed make concrete!

As for charcoal, we can't test the temperature for now, but this thing isn't complicated to make. As long as we follow his instructions, it will definitely be successful.

"Uncle Dazhuang, at this rate, how much cement can we burn in a day" Yang Lin asked.

"This..."

"The process of burning isn't difficult, just two hours. It's just grinding these stones that is so much trouble! Look at what we burned today, it's still the stone powder I gathered over a few days."

If the whetstones could keep up, we could at least double this output in a day!

Yang Lin estimated that the weight of this batch of cement was probably only five or six hundred kilograms. It took a lot of manpower and material resources, but the output was still very low.

The main problem is still with the crushed stone.

Although limestone is soft, the process of crushing it first and then grinding it into powder would still be too cumbersome without a stone crusher.

"So, I've had the workshop build a new type of watermill specifically for crushing stones. It will be at least five times faster than the old one! This way, we can ensure a steady supply of raw materials."

From now on, this kiln will be used exclusively for burning cement, and the other kiln for bricks.

"Cement is afraid of moisture, so after it's burned, it should be transported directly to the construction site. With cement now available, we can start laying the foundation today!"

The foundation pit has been dug for many days, and we are just waiting for the success of the cement.

"What Such expensive cement, used for the foundation"

Tall, strong and with piercing eyes.

Although he hadn't experienced its strength firsthand, he could tell from the firing process that making this cement was not easy.

The concrete, which took so much effort to make, is going to be poured into the foundation pit...

I've really spent too much money!

Yang Lin smiled and said, "A solid foundation makes for a stable house!"

He certainly knew the value of cement, but for safety's sake, it was all worth it!

With cement, construction can continue.

New-style waterwheels, papermaking, steelmaking, brick burning, road building, and house construction...

It seems like everything is developing in a positive direction.

Before I knew it, several days had passed.

That evening, before the sun had set, outside Jiang He County, a band of burly men with bushy beards, armed with sharp weapons and fierce eyes, charged into the city under the cover of the setting sun!famous delicacies. But here in our village, they aren't very valuable because whether we eat monkey head mushrooms or other kinds of mushrooms, there isn't much difference."But if lingzhi mushrooms ar...
