Chapter 485 (1/2)
Barrow's focus is on alchemy. The alchemy of the alliance of alchemists he presided over is different from that of Ms. Elena. Pharmaceutical and plant research are only a small part of alchemy.
The concept of alchemy covers a wide range, including simple chemistry, physics, simple manufacturing, etc.
After the warlock alliance sent President Abner and Antoine Council scholars to the Yongye army leader, the warlock alliance did not have time to explore papermaking and printing on its own.
Among them, printing is not difficult for them, and it has been preliminarily copied. What limits them is paper. Without a lot of paper, printing is useless.
Papermaking is more troublesome. Although the paper from Yongye army leader has been pushed backward, it should be made of grass and trees, but it is quite challenging to make it, because this is a series of projects. It is not so simple to grind plants into pulp or air them out.
Many of the tricks in it have to go through countless trials and turns. They have not even made a piece of the worst straw paper.
Although these experiences are not enough for them to make their own sheets of paper, they are enough to verify whether the process flow sheet of papermaking is true or not. Barrow does not need to answer at all. The changeable expression on his face has already explained everything.
The art of papermaking and printing that Antoine's Bachelor of Parliament came back from the yongyejun tie is not only true, but also without cutting corners.
Aubrey Council bachelor nodded his head and said, ”I'm willing to give up papermaking and printing. If it was me, it would not be so happy. The Yongye military leader has been able to grow from scratch. To this extent, he has something unique. His atmospheric style and rising speed of acting for each other are worth our giving He has a chance. Let's pack up now and take a walk around the Yongye army. ”
”I'd like to see if there's a Bachelor of Antoine who speaks so much in their college town.” A bachelor's degree in Gall's parliament is also eager to try.
”Their various alchemy industries have also reached a very terrible level, which is worth exchanging.” Barrow gasped. ”There is no problem with papermaking and printing. There are not only detailed text descriptions, but also simple illustrations. Even if people without any basic knowledge follow the above requirements, they can still make paper after repeated tests.
Give me a week, I can use the current laboratory to produce paper, but in terms of quality, it certainly can't reach the level of Yongye army leader, let alone the quantity. They have also reached a certain level in the use of external forces. If there is no matching water wheel and wind mill, it will cost a lot to make paper by manpower. I'm afraid it can't be compared with importing directly from Yongye military leader. ”
”We are mainly to verify their authenticity, but it is secondary whether they can be imitated. In Yongye army leader, I personally guarantee that we will give them ten years.” The University of Antoine Council is still nostalgic about what he promised.
The Aubrey parliamentary university student said with a smile: ”there is no need for the university to be so sincere. The Lord of the other side is a smart man. He has thought about this problem for a long time. Since he is willing to send out these two technologies, he has already prepared for us to create. Didn't you hear barrow University scholar say just now? If we don't use wood, we will produce a lot of wood, right
Barrow nodded: ”yes, straw pulp is soft, the paper produced is rough, hardness is not ideal, the best paper material is wood.”
”You see, people have already made plans. Even if we have mastered papermaking, we have to buy a lot of paper from each other. The other party doesn't care about our use, so long as we can keep our mouth shut and not make it known to the public.” At Aubrey parliamentary University.
”In spite of that, it's better to stop this matter. After all, I promised the other party at the beginning. If it was publicized, I would lose not Antoine's face alone, but the whole alliance. Honesty is easy to lose, but even more difficult to build up.” Antoine councillor advised.
”Yes.” ”Even if we make paper, we will only use it inside the dome. Within ten years, we will never sell it in large quantities, nor teach papermaking and printing to the outside world. However, the technical content of these two technologies is not as high as we think. With the large amount of paper circulating around the world led by the Yongye army, some people will try Imitation, it won't take a few years for someone to reverse the introduction of papermaking, which has nothing to do with us. ”
”Naturally, the Yongye army leader is only one step ahead. Once anything appears, there will never be a lack of imitators. As long as the papermaking technology is not handed down from us, the rest of the things have nothing to do with us.” The archdeacon of Antoine nodded.
”When shall we leave for Yongye commander?” After the agreement was reached, it was the University of Calais who was most interested in this matter.”Don't worry at this time.” ”We don't have the heart to spy on the Yongye army leader, but we can't guard against it at all. Although it's unlikely that the Yongye army will lead us, we should be careful to guard against it. When this incident is spread all over the world, we will not be late to start.”
”What does Grand Master Gustav mean?” Antoine looked thoughtful.
”From the very beginning, the Yongye army leader led us by the nose. Whether it was papermaking and printing that was sent to us through the hands of merchants, or the joint education that was proposed immediately, now it is even more important for the warlock alliance to move the Supreme Council to their territory.” The face of Gustav parliamentary university students was shining with wisdom, ”especially the college town and tens of thousands of scholars created by the other party. If the words of Antoine are true, even if we cooperate with them, we will fall behind. The whole situation is dominated by the other party. Would you like to see this happen?”
”No
”This cannot be tolerated.”
”Even if it is joint education, it is under our leadership.”
”We must not weaken the reputation of our league.”
Several other members of the Council shook their heads in unison. Their warlock alliance always showed people a neutral attitude, which did not mean that they were not competitive at all.
Especially in the field of literati and scholars, they have always been at the forefront of the world, and the dome of heaven is regarded as a holy land of knowledge by all the scholars and scholars.
Now suddenly, a leader of the eternal night army is coming up, and he wants to catch up with them in this respect. How can they accept it?
”Don't sell your guts, don't let me know if you have any good ideas.” Aubrey parliament university student urged.
”Since the Yongye Army leaders like to expand, we will also enlarge the Supreme Council this time. Not only seven of us, but also all the scholars and scholars from all over the world can be invited to join the Yongye military leaders to hold an unprecedented bachelor's conference, so that the Yongye military leaders can see the real strength of our alliance. The University of Antoine did not say that this time Are all the expenses paid by Yongye commander? ” When Gusta's Council bachelor said the last sentence, he obviously had a trace of malice, and obviously wanted to make the other party lose money.
There are not many bachelor's degree or bachelor's degree in the top of the sky, only two or three thousand. But if we put it into the whole theory of Byron's alliance, the number will be a bit amazing. There are no 50000 or 30000. As long as a small half of them can respond to the call of the warlock alliance, it is also a terrible amount. The cost is definitely a large sum of money, at least several million Royal gold coins 。
In any age, long-distance travel is a costly business.
”Lord Shawn does have a commitment to that.” Antoine Council scholar said with a bitter smile, ”if Gusta university students want to use this method to make the other party's flesh ache, I'm afraid they have made a wrong idea. First of all, we don't say how rich the other side's finance is, let alone the travel expenses of tens of thousands of people. Even if a hundred thousand troops are involved, they can easily support it.
Not to mention that after the return of the Jacobs River, the transportation from the plain of Asia Minor to the swamp of despair was more convenient than expected. Most of the merchant ships running on these two rivers were led by Yongye army, and the cost was not as large as the university students expected.
