Chapter 277 Lucky Star Wang Dong
From Zhou Xu's perspective, there was no shortage of paper in the era before he time traveled. Even because of the highly developed technology, he is about to enter the paperless office era.
Unless you are a relevant practitioner, who in the right mind would have nothing to do to study how to make paper? And it’s still old-fashioned papermaking technology.
Now that he is summoned, he will be able to find a teacher who can teach Chinese characters. Unexpectedly, this Chinese teacher also knows how to make paper! This immediately made him feel like he had earned something with his blood.
Both of them are efficient people. After Zhou Xu learned that Wang Dong knew how to make paper, he directly instructed his subordinates to deliver their dinner to the camp. He and Wang Dong The discussion about papermaking began directly.
"As the leader said, trees, bamboo, and even some grass can be used as materials for making paper, but if you want to make paper, you need some tools."
"In terms of tools, as long as you don't use some technology The equipment can be made by hand, and the equipment department under my command can basically overcome it."
Wang Dong did not doubt Zhou Xu's words.
After all, during this time, he had already seen tricycles near the camp, which was enough to show that there was already a certain level of technology here.
"Please rest assured, leader, keep it simple. In terms of tools, there is nothing complicated. There is just a paper scooper for scooping out paper pulp that may need a little trouble."
"How do I need to make this paper scooper?"
Zhou Xu really didn't have any research on papermaking.
Faced with the problem, Wang Dong spoke frankly.
"To put it simply, it is a bamboo mat, which needs to be used to hold paper pulp."
As soon as he heard the word 'bamboo mat', Zhou Xu immediately knew something.
"Bamboo mat, don't worry, I can handle it!"
He knows how to weave bamboo mats, and there are bamboo mats in Huangshan Village, with both bamboo and technology. In Zhou Xu's opinion, this Basically it's a small problem.
While speaking, Zhou Xu placed the animal skin and chicken quill pen in front of Wang Dong.
"Teacher Wang, first draw the design drawings of all the tools you need, and I will ask the equipment department to make them later."
"Okay."
In response, Wang Dong began to draw the design drawing.
Zhou Xu watched from the side, and he found that just like Wang Dong said, these tools are indeed not difficult to make.
In the past, he might have needed to personally go back to the equipment department of Black Moon Village to give guidance, but now, his equipment director has grown up.
He only needed to ask the messenger to send these blueprints back to Black Moon Village. After Zhuang Mengdie saw them, he would naturally know what to do.
After Wang Dong finished drawing the design, Zhou Xu couldn't help but ask again while eating dinner, with a bit of expectation in his voice.
"Besides papermaking, what else does Teacher Wang know?"
"I really can't tell clearly at this moment. After all, I usually read a lot of various books. Yes, I know a lot of miscellaneous things, but I don’t know much about it.”
Wang Dong found it difficult to explain clearly at once.
"Oh, by the way, I'm relatively sure about the fabric."
At this point, Wang Dong added a little more explanation.
"My family runs a cotton factory and a weaving factory, and I also do some clothing business. I also know a little about linen."
"Teacher Wang, you will really bring me some surprises."
Zhou Xu really didn’t think much about Wang Dong’s family background before. After all, he has already traveled through time. What use can his family background before time travel be?
Now that I think about it carefully, Wang Dong’s family was probably quite wealthy before he traveled through time. After fighting cancer for six years, it’s not just about willpower, he also has to be rich!
It is not difficult to tell from Wang Dong’s words that their family basically covers the entire industrial chain from raw material breeding to production and manufacturing to selling products. Of course, regardless of these things, Zhou Xu really didn't expect that while solving the paper-making problem, he could also solve the fabric problem at the same time.
This made Zhou Xu lose his sleepiness. He lit the oil lamp and discussed weaving with Wang Dong again.
“I remember that cloth can be made of silk, cotton and the like, but silkworms and cotton have not been found yet. Sheep has a clue, but it may be a bit difficult to obtain. Use sheep’s Can wool be used to make clothing such as woolen sweaters?”
Hearing this, Wang Dong nodded.
“Yes, you can knit woolen sweaters by processing the wool and twisting it into wool. Although our family does not raise sheep, we also harvest wool to make woolen sweaters.”
At this point, Wang Dong's voice paused...
"If you just want to solve the clothing problem, linen should be able to do it."
"In the mountains these days, I I have seen ramie. In addition to ramie, other hemp plants are also very common. There are many varieties and quantities. They are not difficult to find. As long as the plant fiber can be obtained, it can be used to make linen cloth. ”
In just a short period of time, he had two great joys.
Tonight, he will probably laugh out loud in his sleep and dreams.
"Teacher Wang, you are really my lucky star!"
Needless to say, I asked Wang Dong to draw the equipment needed for weaving linen. He would send the design directly to the messenger early tomorrow morning. Take it to Black Moon Village and let them develop and produce it first.
Different from the previous tools used to make paper, one of the tools needed to weave linen is significantly more complicated, and that is the wooden spinning wheel.
However, Zhou Xu has seen it. According to the current technical strength of the equipment department, there is no difficulty in manufacturing this wooden spinning wheel.
No words were spoken all night, and early the next morning, Zhou Xu ordered the messenger to return to Heiyue Village with the design drawings and hand them over to Zhuang Mengdie.
At the same time, Wang Dong undoubtedly continued to teach Zhou Chongshan.
"Lieutenant Zhou, let's go to the river to talk today."
"..."
Hearing this, the muscles in the corners of Zhou Chongshan's eyes twitched, but When he thought of the high hopes the leader had for him, he endured it again.
According to Wang Dong's physical condition, he didn't have to pretend at all, he just walked and stopped all the way, going back and forth like this every day, and the day almost passed.
Zhou Chongshan originally thought that after you finish asking all the questions, I should be able to train, right?
Who would have thought that after the questions were almost settled, Wang Dong began to teach him how to read.
On the edge of the lake, using a branch as a pen, I started teaching.
Zhou Chongshan wanted to decline politely and then do his own thing, but Wang Dong was already prepared.
“The leader said that each of you who are officers must be able to read and write. This is your task, and it is my task to teach you.”
In one sentence, Zhou Chongshan lost his temper.
Of course, it’s not like he didn’t give Zhou Chongshan any training time.
In the final analysis, the reason why Zhou Chongshan keeps training and improving is to relieve his anxiety in this way.
Proper training can allow him to vent his psychological pressure. As long as he has a good control of the level, it won't be a big problem.
Zhou Chongshan’s biggest problem is that he himself cannot grasp this speed, so now let Wang Dong grasp it through some external means.
