【Paper】

As one of the greatest inventions in human history, the birth of paper almost spans the entire field of human civilization.

Please make 10,000 pieces of paper and record your adventures. I believe someone will like to read it!

...

I looked at the simple description of the side line and the task requirements.

Manufacture 10,000 pieces of paper, and the specifications are required to be at least 10cm*10cm or above, which is considered valid.

It can be clearly felt that the difficulty of side missions after entering the Bronze Age has increased.

Before, it was enough for one piece of materials, but now it costs ten thousand pieces.

However, as long as one piece of paper can be produced, ten thousand pieces will be fine.

The difficulty of the key lies in the production process.

Many people know that paper is made of trees.

But how to associate trees that seem to be in no way possible with paper.

This belongs to the wisdom of ancient humans.

Primitive human ancestors in ancient times were counted using straw rope knots.

I caught a few pigs today and a few rabbits tomorrow. All of them are clearly arranged for you.

Whoever catches more will eat his legs.

But as the concept of mathematics becomes more and more profound, ordinary straw knots can no longer meet human needs for counting.

For example,

Zhang San's father died suddenly. Zhang San invited all the people who fell into the house to eat the mat and eat the wild boar he just caught yesterday.

But there are more than 200 people in the entire tribe. We must ensure that everyone can have the perfectly fragrant pork. Everyone has a sweet and sweet taste, so the wild boar will be divided into more than 200 pieces.

He cut more than 100 wild boars, and was called away for a moment if something happened, so he told his son Li Si to continue chopping them.

At that time, when the tribe was first born, the human language was not yet perfect.

Zhang San pointed to the straw knot on the table and told his son in body language that you have cut more than a hundred knives. You can tell him by counting the straw knot.

So Li Si started counting.

Ao, I have cut 108 times so far.

After finishing, Li Si continued to chop, cut a knife, tie a knot, cut a knife, and tie a knot again.

After more than fifty knives, he was called away for something, so his wife Wang Wu came to take the knife.

Wang Wu also needs to count the knots of straw rope from the beginning.

When Zhang San came back after work, he saw that his daughter-in-law was still counting the knots of straw and ropes and had not finished chopping the pork, and he was immediately furious.

This is too slow!

Isn’t you delaying everyone’s meal?

Just bury it with you!

So Zhang San mentioned the sinful kitchen knife, and the cold blade flashed with a cold light that was free from justice.

...

It can be seen from this that the knot of straw ropes has limitations on human communication.

Even though decimal and cyclic straw knots appeared later, the efficiency was still very low.

Moreover, it is difficult to express a clearer meaning just by being a knot.

Therefore, as civilization evolved, it changed from counting straw rope knots to writing simple numerical symbol marks on the sand.

Handwriting is simple and convenient.

When you have time to tie a knot, someone else has already drawn a "1" on the sand

But soon, with the continuous improvement of human language, more and more symbols were invented, representing many meanings.

With too many symbols, some complex patterns will appear.

The original ancestor went through a lot of trouble and drew a twisted pattern.

Suddenly, the wind blew...

This is very embarrassing.

Later, it was changed to engraving and painting on the wall.

That is the origin of the mural.

Nowadays, murals have become material and cultural protection heritage around the world and are priceless treasures.

If there are enthusiastic Chinese netizens on the Internet, they say to you: You have so many murals.

There is no doubt that it must be a recognition of your wealth ability by the kind Chinese.

The predecessor of paper has gone through five long stages of straw knots, sand, murals, oracle bones, and bamboo slices.

Finally, when people realize that it is too troublesome to record these things.

Paper emerged suddenly, and made a grand debut with the auspicious cloud light that runs through ancient and modern times.

As early as the ancient times of China, the concept of paper was proposed by the working people at that time.

Of course, people in that period had very rough technology.

Usually, some of the silkworms left by floating silk are repeatedly beaten, crushed the silkworm clothes and mixed them with a certain proportion of wood ash, grind them on a flat ground, and then dried, you will get a large piece of dry and thin translucent soil-gray paper like a cicada wing.

This is the origin of paper in the earliest period.

However, this paper is very rough, has a small quantity, is expensive, and has troublesome workmanship, making it difficult to popularize.

Usually it is the material used by wealthy families to package things, and it is not used for writing.

It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that Cai Lun Da Neng, who had seen through a little secret, began to improve papermaking technology, using raw materials such as tree bark, hemp, and fishing nets.

Only paper made through several processes such as baffling, pounding, stir-frying, and baking can be considered the true origin of paper.

Of course, even so, the cost of making paper was still very high at that time.

Therefore, in ancient times, reading was actually a treatment that only wealthy children from wealthy families enjoyed.

The most basic point is that paper is not something that ordinary people can use.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that papermaking technology was further optimized that it began to be widely promoted.

"Great Congming, go and cut some wood for me. It's about a dozen pieces." Tang Zheng called out Murphyt and handed it the iron axe in her hand.

Then, I opened a recruitment post on the forum.

[Recruitment: Recruiting 20 carpenters and 10 miners. Those with experience in this trip in the native world are preferred. The guaranteed salary is 2 virtual coins/day, 5 parts of ordinary grade wood/1 virtual coins, 5 parts of good grade wood/2 virtual coins, and the price of excellent grade wood is calculated separately.]

At this stage, he can no longer waste his time on the most basic resource mining, and there will be a lot of wood and stone in the future.

And Murfit, there are other arrangements for it in the future.

I can only spend some money to recruit people.

I had collected ten miners before, and the efficiency was OK.

There are more than 300 virtual coins on hand now. When the corn wine is sold tomorrow, there will be funds to earn money.

The salary is still available.

Although the price of wood on the market is three copies of 1 virtual currency, only 5 copies of it will be given to 1 virtual currency.

But that is the price raised by profiteers, and real wood is not worth this price.

When they go to collect wood, they are afraid that the price will only be lower than themselves.

As the post was published, players soon came to consult.

Tang Zheng carefully selected 30 reliable lumberjacks and miners, and gave priority to settle a virtual currency as wages.

However, it is required to produce at least 100 parts of wood or 50 parts of stone per day.

Otherwise, the guaranteed salary on the same day will be invalid.

This has not been criticized by everyone. After all, there are many people who don’t do anything after taking the money.

For this group of new employees, Tang Zheng has not been so generous that he directly equipped an iron axe, but only one of them is equipped with a good-quality stone axe or stone pickaxe.

Only the ten people who followed him at first used a new bronze pickaxe.

After all, the iron axe is very valuable now. According to the quality of an iron axe on the market, it can be sold at least 50-80 virtual coins per unit.

When Tang Zheng’s synthetic platform is free, he will use it to make iron axes in batches, and make them with materials, and produce one in an hour.

But they all save first.

He has no shortage of virtual coins for the time being, but he cannot give things like iron axes and pickaxes indiscriminately, otherwise he is making enemies for himself at will.
