Chapter 67: Excellent Chemist



Lin Ke walked in front, and Grandma Xisai was slightly two steps behind Lin Ke, acting like an ordinary old servant who was more than a hundred years old.

Grandma Xisai doesn't seem to be so "naive" or ignorant of the world. At least she knows to be a little behind Lin Ke.

"Master Lin Ke, Granny Xisai has done a lot of magic. Please don't drive me away..."

Granny Xisai was trying her best to sell her behind Lin Ke. She bent down so much that when Lin Ke turned around, he could only see her hunchback.

"What kind of 'magic' are there?" Lin Ke was still a little curious.

There are several ways to discover gunpowder formulas. It depends on whether Granny Xisai discovered it accidentally or through extensive research.

If it is an accidental discovery, it may not prove anything, but if it is a researched and purposeful discovery, it will be rare!

This kind of exploration and research ability is very consistent with scientific logic.

"Magic? Mine is much more powerful than magic!" Granny Xisai immediately retorted with her hands on her hips as soon as she heard Lin Ke's tone.

I don't know who was there all the time saying that gunpowder was magic, and now saying it was stronger than magic... Lin Ke rolled his eyes inwardly.

"I can restore a rusty iron sword to its original appearance, or I can make a normal iron sword rust so quickly that it can be smashed with one fist!"

Grandma Xisai replied proudly, her steps even a little swaying.

The leader of the guard team behind him burst out laughing and couldn't help but joked: "You are even better than a professional."

However, Lin Ke suddenly stopped and looked back at Granny Xisai with a surprised expression: "Did you discover acid and alkali? And oxidation?"

Grandma Xisai was stunned: "What sword and flower?" She didn't understand what Lin Ke meant.

The pronunciation of Lin Ke sounds very similar to the words "sour sword" and "planting flowers" in the common language of Nasenge. Of course, Granny Xisai didn't understand it.

"That's right, how did you make it?"

Lin Ke rubbed his eyebrows. Many words were not found here. With the development of chemistry in the future, he might have to consider using substitute words or creating his own words.

"Hehe, that's awesome."

Grandma Xisai did not answer Lin Ke's words, but said: "Master Lin Ke, do you believe me? Can you work in the factory for me?"

Go to the factory to work as a cow or horse? Think beautifully.

Lin Ke knew immediately that Granny Xisai might be the kind of person who has a certain interest in chemistry and has already researched something.

This kind of talent is suitable for exploitation in research laboratories...not for work.

"Grandma Xisai, there is no way you can go to the paper mill."

Lin Ke shook his head first, and when Grandma Xisai looked sad, he then said: "But I have a job with a higher salary, do you want to do it?"

"Higher salary?"

Grandma Xisai's eyes lit up when she heard this.

She knew that salary actually meant silver coins and copper plates, or that salary was compensation.

"Can you give me more copper coins?! Can you give me three silver coins and five... no, two copper coins per month?"

Granny Xisai made a very "excessive" request and looked at Lin Ke cautiously, fearing that Lin Ke would reject her because of this excessive request.

What kind of life have you experienced to be so cautious, my dear chemist... Lin Ke was helpless, he just nodded lightly and continued to move forward.

Grandma Xisai's background was found out before the interview. She didn't have any children in the family, but she did have some children helping her farm.

Moreover, Grandma Xisai often comes up with gadgets that she calls "magic", which are very popular among the villagers.

Overall, this person is trustworthy.

In this case, Lin Ke can tell her more "super-class" content.

After all, many chemical reactions, unlike other things, can be explained by "precocious wisdom".

There are many chemical reactions that you have never seen in reality. How can you be so "precocious"?

After all, many substances in the two worlds exist in different places, and the periodic tables of elements may also be different, especially for animals and plants.

To verify something, a large number of chemical experiments must be done.

And chemical experiments... must use test tubes.

Lin Ke decided and walked a little faster.

Although Grandma Xisai is over a hundred years old, she has the body and bones of a young person in her sixties, and can keep up with Lin Ke.

After a while, Lin Ke went to the paper mill to arrange work, and the paper mill began to operate.

Grandma Xisai and the leader of the guard team were watching behind Lin Ke.

The papermaking workshop is said to be a factory, but it is actually a small workshop. When you open the door, you will find five compartments, each of which is responsible for a step of papermaking.

Water from outside is brought in from ditches on the ground, and then drained away from the ditches.

However, the paper mill does not use a lot of chemicals such as bleach like in previous generations, so the pollution caused is minimal.

"They...what are they doing?"

Grandma Xisai's eyes widened in curiosity, wondering why their young master Azanen was... a bit unreliable?

Cooking inedible grass in a cauldron?

It can't be the "playing house" that some noble children like to play like the bard said.

Grandma Xisai was very upset.

"Why do you talk so much!"

The leader of the guard team next to him couldn't help scolding him.

Why does this old woman talk so much nonsense? That is to say, Master Lin Ke said it was useful, otherwise he would have kicked him out.

Questioning their young master and instructor?

This is simply outrageous. His mother opened the door for outrageousness. Isn’t it outrageous?

The team leader was angry.

"Just wait and see."

Lin Ke gestured to the two to be patient and smiled.

After a while, the first batch of dried paper was taken down and brought to Lin Ke for review.

Lin Ke stroked the rough, yellowish paper in his hand, nodded slightly, then looked up and said loudly: "Everyone continue! The servants will bring lunch at noon."

There was no joy or anger in his voice.

This paper is pretty good, reaching the level when Lin Ke and Aof were experimenting, and can be used as writing paper.

However, there was no surprise, so Lin Ke naturally wouldn't be very happy. It was just a trial production in a standard manner.

It can only be said that it met expectations.

"Is this paper?"

When Granny Xisai saw the paper in Lin Ke's hand, she immediately knew what this "paper mill" meant.

Making paper!

But... this is not the same as the manufacturing process Granny Xisai knew.

The paper she knew was made by a leather master who burned animal skins through multiple processes.

It's not like this, more than fifty people made it, and they made more than a dozen sheets in half an hour.

"There are still many things you don't know!"

Lin Ke was relieved after seeing that the quality of the paper was okay. He waved to Granny Xisai and the team leader: "Let's go! Let's go to the next factory!"

Next, the glass factory!

Lin Ke didn't expect the trial production of the paper mill to be so smooth. Perhaps he underestimated the importance the villagers attached to this job.

When he taught the villagers the steps of papermaking, everyone stared with wide eyes and tried hard to remember and listen.

These students are not like the students in his previous life. They may not eat the taste of chewing it, and think that knowledge is not as delicious as games.

The villagers "students" here can learn knowledge, and they wish Lin Ke could teach them more.

However, since the paper mill is so smooth, just produce it quickly... Lin Ke thought in his heart.

First, accumulate ordinary paper inventory for a period of time, and then produce fine paper, and then high-quality paper and top-quality paper.

In the early stage, satisfy Azaan Castle and Parrot City.

If the response is good, with certain guarantees, the paper can be sold to various places in Viscount Azaan's territory.

However, Lin Ke has not considered selling it nationwide or even in Naseng. After all, a small viscounty does not have the power to control such a huge market.

But the early sales volume is enough!

It would be great if the pressure from debt can be relieved, and it would be better if the debt can be fully repaid.

When he arrived at the door of the paper mill, the person in charge "Huasen" was standing at the door waiting for Lin Ke.

The paper mill has only one door, and you can only go in and out through this door. There are sheets of paper drying outside.

"I am very happy. It is good to be able to do this for the first time. Work hard! Also, remember to keep it confidential. No one can disclose the process and raw materials of the paper mill, including family members. After a month, everyone will get a salary!"

Lin Ke encouraged and warned the person in charge, and then left.

The person in charge was Watson, a young man with blond hair, honest and simple, and always had a simple face.

After Lin Ke left, Watson returned to the paper mill with excitement.

In the paper mill, workers of all ages stretched their heads out of the compartments and looked at him.

Their eyes were more or less nervous.

Today is the first day, and they are afraid that the young master will regret it.

After all, such an easy job can get a "salary" of five silver coins. They dare not even think about it because they have only worked for free before.

At this time, Watson's excited heart could no longer be suppressed, and he waved his strong right arm vigorously: "Young Master Lin Ke asked us to produce vigorously! He is very happy! No... very happy!"

The workers immediately cheered and worked harder.

It seems that the young master is not playing around! The young master really wants to do it!

"But the young master asked us to keep it secret..."

Watson smiled honestly and did not forget to remind him to tell Lin Ke's warning.

Everyone agreed happily.

After they learned this magical method of making paper, they were afraid that others would snatch it away! This is the unique skill of our young master Azan En!

If other noble masters also want to do it, they must let the nobles do it themselves, then their work will be ruined, right?

Although the villagers of Azan En Village 5 are simple, simplicity and cunning are not antonyms.

Be able to tell right from wrong!
