Qin Shi Mingyue's infinite punch card

Whether it is bamboo, fishing net, hemp rope, or hay, it can be used for crafting.

After the raw materials are collected, they must first be soaked, crushed, and sanded.Then soak and cook with plant ash liquid to remove the gum, grease, etc. in it.

They are then pounded further to make them into a paste.Then, take out this paste-like pulp, spread it thinly on the bamboo curtain to dry, and after drying, it will become paper next.

There will be a huge price difference between the low cost and the high value, and it must be a lucrative business.

The only troublesome place is that if you want to make a lot of paper, you need a lot of manpower, otherwise it will affect the production efficiency.

However, this matter is not a problem for Ye Chen. There are thousands of people in Hidden Sword Villa, and it is time to order them after they have been raised for so long.

He calculated that if the assembly line production method is adopted, 1000 people can produce [-] sheets of paper a day!

A roll of bamboo slips that can only write a few characters can be sold at a price of about [-] baht in the market, and a piece of paper that is three feet long and wide can at least write hundreds of characters. A hundred baht is not expensive, right?

In this way, ten pieces of paper are worth one gold, and if one hundred thousand pieces of paper are sold in one day, then one can earn ten thousand gold!

In this era, is there any more profitable industry than papermaking?

After all, anyone with a certain status basically cannot do without writing tools, and paper is far superior to bamboo slips in terms of writing experience and mobile storage.

After having this thing, anyone with some family background will not use other writing materials.And those who can't afford paper are basically the poorest people at the bottom, and people in this class basically don't use things like bamboo slips.

It is conceivable that in the near future paper will complete its monopoly on words.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you master the paper, you can control the spread of words, and the wealth of the world will continue to gather towards you...

Chapter 3 The Appearance of the First Firearm

After making a rough plan, Ye Chen started to act.The first is to collect raw materials.

This matter is very simple, hemp rope, dried vegetables, bark and other things can be said to be everywhere, and a lot of them were brought up in a short while.

What he needs to do after that is to practice continuously. Although he knows the general method of paper, he has no experience in actual operation, so it is still difficult to make a quick progress. After all, there are still many details that need to be pondered.

I have been busy with this matter for a whole day, and the things I just made are basically waste products. They can't be called paper at all, they can only be regarded as a pot of paste.

After continuous research, some semi-finished products were finally produced. After drying the tattered straw paper, Ye Chen took it off and looked at it, frowning slightly.

These things can also write, but the user experience is too bad, and there is no toughness at all.Although it is easier to use than bamboo, it is still far from the standard in his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Chen still decided to leave this kind of matter to professionals, so he found Gongshuye.

After entering the door, he saw the other party squatting in the yard, fiddling with a round metal pipe in his hand.

"Old Ye, what are you doing?"

Ye Chen greeted him.

Gong Shuye raised his eyes and saw the former, and hurriedly greeted him: "Come here, I made something interesting."

Hearing this, Ye Chen stepped forward and said, "What are you thinking about?"

He only saw the round pipe in the opponent's hand, but he didn't see anything special about it.

Gong Shuye showed a smile and said, "This is an interesting thing, I'll let you have a look."

As he spoke, he put down the round tube in his hand and fixed it.

Ye Chen looked it over carefully, only to find that the copper pipe seemed to have undergone some modifications, the front was hollow and the rear was blocked.

However, it is not completely blocked. There is a small switch on it, which can be opened with a slight twist.

At this time, Gong Shuye took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, and poured the black powder contained in it into the back of the copper pipe.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but change his expression, he was very familiar with this thing, it was gunpowder.Didn't they say that they were all destroyed before, but why did they come out again? What the hell are they going to do?

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, and a guess emerged in his heart: "Could it be that thing?"

Immediately afterwards, the idea in his mind was confirmed.

I saw that Gong Shuye took out a small copper ball from nowhere, and then put it into the copper pipe.

When he saw this scene, Ye Chen had already determined what the other party was going to do, and the next step was definitely to light the fire.

Sure enough, after Gongshuye added a lead wire to the copper pipe, he took out a flint and ignited it.

After two breaths, there was only a "bang" sound, and the copper pipe vibrated violently.Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of fire, and the copper pellets in the tube shot out with lightning speed, directly hitting the wall several feet away.

Then I saw a pothole appear on the solid wall. If such power hits a flesh and blood body, it will cause huge damage in an instant.

Seeing this, Gong Shuye seemed quite excited, turned his head to look at Ye Chen and asked, "How is it?"

"I didn't expect you to get this thing out."

Ye Chen couldn't help but smacked his lips.

Gong Shuye's face changed. Although the other party seemed a little surprised, he didn't seem to be too surprised.

Then he said, "Have you seen this thing before?"

Ye Chen nodded: "This thing also has a name, it's called a firearm."

"It's also recorded in that strange book called physics?"

Gong Shuye asked.

"good."

Ye Chen responded, he couldn't say that he was a time traveler, so he pushed the matter out again.

Hearing this, Gong Shuye couldn't help feeling very emotional. Originally, the old man thought that he had already achieved quite a lot in the field of creation, but he didn't expect that he was still a frog at the bottom of a well.

I really don't know what kind of a person is able to write such a wonderful book.

Ye Chen replied: "Old Ye, don't underestimate yourself. The compilation of this physics was not done by one person, but it was completed through the efforts of countless generations of scholars and great sages. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people.

Gongshuye Fuxu nodded and said: "So that's the case, it can't be so mysterious."

At this time, Ye Chen continued to ask: "Old Ye, didn't you agree to stop making gunpowder before, why do you still have it here?"

Hearing this, Gong Shuye was also a little embarrassed, and then coughed lightly and said: "Isn't the old man itchy, it's really itchy to have such a good thing but not be able to study it.

But the old man promises that no one else has ever seen this thing! "

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt relieved, the other party's words were still very reliable, and then said: "Be careful as much as possible, you should also know how scary this thing is."
