Chapter 202 Science Enlightenment

The trade routes have basically been consolidated, and the territory has entered a period of rapid development.

However, during this period of rapid development, the consumption and import waste of various resources by the territory have also begun to be reflected.

The most important thing is the lack of educational resources. Paper, pen, ink, and these necessities are heavily dependent on external supply.

And in an empire where compulsory education has not been spread out, the price of importing large quantities of such items is not cheap.

But Windersol is not only a student’s exam, but also a factory drawing, design manual, and summary and research on production processes. Every day, it is swallowing up all kinds of paper.

It can still be barely maintained now, but it will collapse sooner or later if this continues.

Fortunately, Ictor has solved the most fundamental survival problem in his territory, and now he can finally put more effort into his life.

“We want to make paper.”

Ictor said to all the mages present.

In order to solve this technology, Ictor specially convened a mage and asked them to temporarily stop everything in their hands.

However, for mages who do not master the principles of optical imaging, they cannot achieve the effect of microscopes.

"Okay teacher, let me tell you what I think."

After hearing this, Lafayette nodded and said:

"This type of straw paper is only easy to write from left to right, and the context is also quite inconvenient. It is quite difficult to paint on it. This is why we use velvet paper a lot."

Everyone took a long time to calm down before they recovered from this magical problem.

Ickett said that the mages present were also inspired.

This time, Ictor plans to start with papermaking and guide his men to explore the natural world.

Mostly because they lack production capacity.

"The paper I want to make is different from these things. Let's talk about a basic concept first, and you can understand it."

"Master Lord, which kind of paper do we want? Papyrus or parchment?"

It was a roll of leaves that grew very large.

And the elves are essentially plants.

Ictor recognized this thing at a glance. Elf paper is the plant paper with the closest writing performance to velvet paper.

And if you go further, it seems to be composed of many smaller papyrus structures, which are long strips from the smallest level, not powder!

For example, papyrus, generally speaking, it is a structure formed by papyrus.

"It turned out to be the elf paper."

"But how can we use plants to create products that are close to velvet paper?"

"My apprentice is completely correct."

However, Ictor can guess the reason why elves rarely export such paper.

Ictor picked up the elf paper and rubbed it gently, and couldn't let go of it.

Sasha organized the language and continued to speak:

"From the perception of magic, I felt that the straw paper we used was actually more like piles of silk threads!

"Okay, don't worry about this for now. The papermaking technology is not that in-depth."

"In fact, I've seen a solution for this issue."

“In fact, making paper is like kneading dough.

Lafayette couldn't help himself and immediately put an eagle eye on himself.

So we still have to use plants.”

"First of all, let's imagine how small a leaf can be cut?"

At the same time, they also want to get answers from Ictor, but there are more important things to do now.

“This is a great example, it provides direction for our papermaking.”

Especially Sasha, who was taught by his top leader, instantly reacted.

Sasha asked everyone what they thought.

Ictor agrees.

"I understand, the reason why the writing performance of Elf Paper is good!"

"Papyrus, to put it bluntly, is to press, anti-corrosion, and dry the products that are parallel to each other, and there are many other things that can achieve similar effects, such as palm leaves, but their writing performance is very obvious."

"The writing performance of velvet paper is better than that of these straw papers in all aspects, but due to raw materials, even if the price of such paper is barely acceptable, the supply cannot keep up.

"How small can it be cut?"

Elfs are races that attach great importance to knowledge. Because their lifespan is too long, almost every elves have the habit of recording history and knowledge. There is a reason for their profound attainments in magic and combat skills.

Theoretically, even a piece of slag can be cut in half. As long as there is a suitable knife, the slag can be cut in half.

Ictor smiled and made a "please" gesture, wanting to see if she understood it.

Siroleman thought about it, and this was really a problem.

So the performance of plant paper in different directions is different! It’s not the same feeling when writing!”

"That's right."

But, how much does it take to stop?

Seeing that the mages were all in a slight horn, Ike made a special reminder.

Other mages have little research on this aspect and cannot confirm the authenticity of what Sasha said, but this theory happens to explain the reason why paper presents different performances in different directions.

"Everyone has written in papyrus."

They have to admit that Ictor, as the lord and chief wizard, is indeed philosophical.

Lafayette asked, but they didn't understand what the paper Ictor wanted to make was.

All the mages present nodded.

However, even though Hawkeye cannot see clearly, he could vaguely feel it, and there were still things that he could not observe, which required better spells to see clearly.

"You might as well talk."

No matter which direction I chew bread, it tastes like that. This is our idea of ​​making paper.”

The flour is the very tiny crushed powder. Add water and knead them together to get a complete whole.

"It seems that Miss Sasha's inference is a suitable theory."

As a natural mage, Sasha has learned more details in the growth of plants, which is exactly why she can understand what Ictor said.

Ictor also came out to stand up for Sasha, which strengthened the mages' recognition of this theory.

Virgil said suddenly, then took out a sample from his bag.

What kind of structure does such a small object have?

The mages who have never thought of this kind of problem seem to have encountered a bug in their minds and their brains are about to go down!

Virgil said with some excitement.

It is the masterpiece of the elves of the natural mage. It uses alienation growth techniques to spread the veins of the plants when the branches and leaves grow, leaving a relatively uniform writing area in the middle.

"This is quite precious, and those elves rarely sell these papers to the outside."

"This is anisotropy! That is, the physical properties of the material are of different properties in all directions!"

“Anisotropy?”

The mages present savored the truth carefully until suddenly, Lafayette slapped his head and laughed.

"I see!"
Chapter completed!
