Chapter 152 Fertilizer Preparation
"Sister, look, this is the carbon paper we developed. You only need to write on this piece of paper, and it will be printed on the paper below. This is faster than printing." Dahua showed it excitedly.
No one else had ever seen anything like this, and they all came over to watch out of curiosity. They saw Dahua write a word on this page of paper with a hard pen, and a piece of carbon paper was placed in the middle of the paper below. After peeling off the carbon paper, the same word was written on the paper below.
"It's so magical, how is this paper made?"
"This is all thanks to Yangchun's idea. I originally only had a clue, but thanks to her discovery, this was successful."
"You were almost there, just a little bit short."
"A slight mistake can lead to a huge error. Even if I did most of it, it would still be unsuccessful without the part you thought of. Yangchun, don't be so modest. You and Taoist Zhang always think of researching all kinds of strange things. I heard that you've been researching the fertilizer that Big Sister mentioned recently. Even if there's no manure, can there be other ways to make fertilizer?"
"Is there such a thing in this world? If we don't use manure for farming, what else can we use?" Lu Zhan couldn't imagine that this could be studied. In his mind, he only knew that manure or rotten soil from the mountain could be used as fertilizer.
"My master and I both believe that fertilizer for farming can be obtained not only from manure, but also through appropriate proportions. If we want to increase grain production in the future, we will need more efficient fertilizers, and this is the significance of our research. Currently, we are studying the relationship between sulfuric acid and bone meal.
We discovered that soil and manure can support the growth of crops because the soil contains many components that, if we can artificially mix them, can increase crop yields. Previously, we could produce 200 kilograms per acre, but in the future, we might be able to produce 400 kilograms. If we find a better method, even 500 or 600 kilograms would be possible."
"Five or six hundred kilograms? I'm afraid that's not even achievable with top-quality land. If you can really grow five or six hundred kilograms per acre, you'll be heroes in the hearts of the people."
Yun Can also gave a thumbs up. Although he was a little bit unconvinced about the number, Taoist Zhang and Yang Chun gave him a feeling that if they dared to say so, it must be achievable.
If it is realized, not only will the people thank them, but the court will also definitely praise them.
"We don't expect to be heroes, we just do this for fun. The drought is severe this year, so we hope to do something."
"Yangchun, you must keep working hard. I'm waiting for your good news. I can't tell you anything else, but if you need money, just come to me. No matter what kind of research you're doing, you can't be short of money."
Lu Linlang had heard her talk about this before and was very happy. Food is a major issue in people's livelihood. If the yield of crops can be increased, it will be of great benefit to her planting.
"We all support you. Feel free to come to us if you need anything. Although we don't understand what you are doing, we can still help." Everyone followed suit and made the promise.
"What are you all talking about? Why are you all making promises?" Yunxi walked in with Erhua. There was a rare smile on his face, which was very different from his usual taciturn self.
"Second brother, where have you been? Why haven't I seen you for several days?"
"We went to the house over there to research medicine. Look, this is what we found."
There was a moldy mass in a glass bottle.
The glass bottle was invented by Taoist Zhang and Yangchun. There was a kind of stone on another mountain. Since they knew that black coal could be used to make fire, the two of them thought about making the first piece of glass. Now, due to drought and water shortage, they can only make some small samples, such as glass bottles.
Yunxi took a fancy to these glass bottles as soon as they were produced. He repeatedly polished them from Taoist Zhang and finally took most of them into his pocket to store the medicinal herbs he made.
"Isn't this just a moldy thing? Why is it worthy of being put in such an exquisite glass bottle?" Lu Zhan really couldn't understand why he cherished it so much.
"Brother Zhan, don't underestimate this moldy thing. It's medicine, a miracle drug at that. We've already researched it. If someone has a wound that's festering, red, swollen, or has a persistent high fever, the symptoms will subside with this medicine."
"That is to say, if those brothers on the battlefield are injured, they can be cured by using this moldy thing?" Yun Can asked curiously.
"Yes, using this before other trauma medicines will have a better effect. This isn't just ordinary mold, it's a mold we've specially cultivated. If used incorrectly, it can be harmful to humans. We've only tried it on rabbits and other animals so far, and haven't dared to use it on humans yet, so we're not sure of its final effect. You'd better not go into the room where we're conducting research, otherwise the bottles and jars inside could be dangerous to you."
"Yunxi, go ahead and do it without worry. I'll have someone guard it to prevent anyone from getting hurt accidentally."
"Yuncan, it seems that we are the only two idle people in this family. Alas, life is so boring. Why don't we try to research something?" Lu Zhan said nonchalantly, holding a withered and malnourished dogtail grass in his mouth.
"It's just right. You two shouldn't be idle anymore. Come with me on a long journey." Seeing that the two of them looked like they were bored, Lu Linlang was ready to find something for them to do.
"Sister, you are going on a long journey. Where are you going? Is there anything fun?" The two of them immediately became interested. The last time they went on a long journey was to a military camp, so this time shouldn't be the time for that, right?
"The people you recruited have been training for some time. Select some elite ones from among them to go with us for this training. The others can continue their training. I am planning to go south again, this time to a place farther from the sea, so you should be prepared.
The main reason I went there this time was to see if there were any good things in the south. I heard some news a few days ago, so I decided to go there myself."
"That's great, sister. Don't worry, we will protect you well." The two were extremely excited. This was the first time that the eldest sister entrusted them with an important task. In order to gain this trust, they also had to train their own people well.
Everyone in the family has their own goals to strive for, and they continue to be busy.
At the same time, Lu Linlang also received a letter from Yun Yi. It turned out that there were floods in several counties in the north, so the messenger was delayed on the road for a long time.
Yun Yi informed his family of his current situation and asked them to take care of themselves and ensure their own safety. There are chaos everywhere now, but the court will be able to control the situation soon, so they can rest assured.
With the news of Yunyi, the family members were relieved. Lu Zhan and Yun Can had been eager to go out, and they wished that Lu Linlang would arrange everything quickly. After Lu Linlang arranged all the affairs at home, they followed the original route to the south, set out from Chongshan, and traveled to the county town in the south with a team of people and weapons.
