When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 72 Bai Yifei: Open the door, the community sends cold!
Zhang Ji has high hopes for these cheap paper and printing methods, but this process cannot be completed in a day or two.

Just the cooking material for the first step, even the cooking process of bark, broken fishing nets, and inferior silk will take at least seven days.

And this is the result of the improvement of these skilled craftsmen. When they heard that Zhang Ji planned to use alkaline water made of plant ash to cook the ingredients, they decisively proposed that lime water, which is more alkaline, could be used to speed up the process. a process.

Coincidentally, Emerald Tiger had given the lime mine in Nanyang to Zhang Ji earlier, and thus obtained a batch of lime with high purity and excellent craftsmanship.

After this step is completed, the boiled paper needs to be soaked and fermented for five or six days to slowly produce plant fibers, and undergo lengthy rinsing again and again. Finally, it takes six or seven hours to beat the pulp. Squeeze, stretch, and tear the plant fibers inside, and finally make paper with the qualified pulp after beating, and dry roast it thoroughly to obtain qualified cheap paper.

In other words, the papermaking process takes more than half a month if there are no mistakes and it is completed at one time.

However, woodblock printing can be completed quickly. After all, these skilled craftsmen are master craftsmen who can read and write. They only need to carve out the content of the article like chiseling a seal.

The reason why Zhang Ji did not allow craftsmen to use wooden movable type printing is because of cost issues.

Zhangji is indeed not short of money, but if printing is to be popularized, it needs to keep its cost as low as possible.

Because wooden movable type often needs to be bonded together by heating glue, it is easy to cause texture changes and deformation of the wood blocks engraved with words, so it may often happen that some blocks of wooden movable type cannot be used. .

Unless copper movable type is used, the cost is too high, which is not conducive to the promotion of printing.

Moreover, the Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the number of characters is really too much. In addition, each country has its own characters. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and the Kingdom of Wei are eight kinds of wooden movable type. This further increases the cost.

Therefore, on the contrary, woodblock printing is the most suitable method for promoting printing.

After taking a rough look at the progress of the craftsmen, Zhang Ji no longer stayed in the other courtyard to influence these craftsmen.

Unlike Zhang Ji's leisurely and comfortable life, some people's lives are not so comfortable.

For example, the Baiyue F4 that attacked Zhang Ji without authorization, they have not yet fully recovered, they received a warm visit from a mysterious person.

At night, the door of a mansion on the outskirts of Xinzheng North Gate was closed, but the mansion was brightly lit, it looked like a wealthy family was having fun in the mansion in the outskirts.

However, it is a little strange that there is a mansion of this size in the outskirts of Xinzheng, and there is not even a servant with a weapon standing guard outside the mansion.

However, there are several domestic servants patrolling the front yard inside the mansion.Black mist permeated the air like a wave, spreading over the waists of these domestic servants, making them look extraordinarily weird.

And the weirdness is more than that, the patrol routes and movements of these domestic servants seem to be even more weird, like walking aimlessly, but if you look closely, they are actually staggering back and forth in a small and unstable range in circles.

Suddenly, a burst of icy blue breath landed on the gate of the mansion. In just one breath, the gate of the mansion was covered with a layer of frost.In the blink of an eye, this layer of frost turned into a thick layer of ice, freezing the door from the inside out.

boom!
The ice layer shattered suddenly, and together with the gate of the mansion, it scattered into little ice crystals and dissipated in the air.

With the disappearance of the gate of the mansion, the moonlight that happened to be covered by the century-old trees in the front yard of the mansion shone into the front yard from the gate of the mansion, and sprinkled on the faces of these patrolling servants.

As if feeling the moonlight, the servants raised their heads, and green light radiated from their eyes. They tilted their heads and bent their legs, looking at the black figure that shattered the gate of the mansion.

At that time, a man dressed in black, with a black gauze covering his face and long white hair, walked into this strange mansion alone.

Noticing the intrusion of outsiders, these strange domestic servants moved their joints, and all the joints all over their bodies made cracking sounds.

They are not people, but zombies!

But the man in black didn't care about all of this. Although his face was covered by a layer of black tulle, it could still be seen that there was no trace of hesitation on his face. Go inside the mansion.

And the moment he crossed the threshold, those zombies suddenly let out a creepy scream, and immediately accelerated, attacking the man in black.

But the man in black didn't even bother to look at these horrific monsters. He just clenched his fists lightly, and an extremely cold white air flow swirled around his body, instantly freezing the zombies who tried to attack him in place. land.

Several zombies turned into ice sculptures, motionless.The man in black passed by these zombies, and the moment his figure intersected with these "ice sculptures", these ice sculptures shattered into pieces like the gate of the mansion, turning into shards of ice, floating in the air , fell to the ground.

Through the front yard and the inner door, the man in black came to the inner yard of the mansion. There was a thin figure who was dressed similarly to him, wrapped in a black cloak, his appearance was covered by the deliberately lowered brim of the hat, but The soul-calling bell in his hand shows his identity.

Exorcist!
A cold and erratic voice spewed out from the mouth of the man in black, with a hint of white mist, as if the air the man spit out was extremely cold when he spoke.

"It seems that Zhang Ji let you go."

The man in black glanced at the body of the exorcist, and with his eyesight and perception, he could naturally see the fact that the exorcist was not injured at all.

"Since he didn't kill you, cherish your life that you don't know how long it will last."

The man in black noticed the spell held tightly in the hand of the exorcist behind his back, and also noticed the faint green light glowing on the bell of the evocation. His body coiled upwards and climbed, freezing his limbs and body, leaving only his head to move.

If Yan Lingji was here, she would definitely recognize this exquisite internal force control method at a glance, because she once fought with the owner of this cold air outside the gate of Xinzheng City.

And the identity of the man in black is naturally self-evident.
