Chapter 787 How to Solve the Immediate Crisis

On the second day, Equation came to the Design Institute.

This is a newly built place, located in the northwest corner of the city, occupying a large area alone.

When Wei Lin was approving the land, Wei Lin still didn't dare to speak up, but the equation had to be drawn so big for her, which was enough to show that he attached great importance to Wei Lin and the design institute.

Among the many infrastructure constructions since Fang Fang became the consul, the design institute was the first to start and the first to complete.

At the gate of the design institute, there was a security guard on duty.

Now every important place in Wanguo City is guarded by members of the security team. For example, there is one guard at the gate of the design institute, one guard at Fang Fang's mansion, and two guards at such an important place as the granary.

In addition to guarding these important places, members of the security team are also responsible for patrolling and guarding the island, and dealing with emergencies that may break out at any time.

In comparison, Blake and his fighters were much more relaxed.

Now they no longer need to be responsible for these security matters. What they have to do is to train troops every day, maintain the fighting momentum of the troops, and be ready for battle at any time.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the design institute, the guard at the gate saluted and said hello to Fang Fang.

Equation responded and walked in. Inside was a very spacious hall. In the middle of the hall was a large table covered with various clay tablets.

In addition to the large table in the middle, there are also many small tables around, and various materials, rulers and instruments are also placed on these tables.

Outside the lobby, there is a more important reference room. There are many wooden cabinets inside. The most important materials on the island are stored in the cabinets, including population data, important events that happened, sea charts, construction plans, etc.

The reference room is a very important place. Only Wei Lin and Equation can freely enter and exit the entire island.

Today, there are a few fresh faces in the design institute. They seem to be a few indigenous boys in their early teens. They are surrounded by Wei Lin, listening attentively to her explaining the main points of knowledge.

Seeing this scene, Fang Fang showed a gratified smile.

More and more aborigines came to Wanguo City, and more people brought more possibilities.Wei Lin was finally able to select some suitable candidates from among these people and train them from an early age to become her deputy. She hoped that someday one of these people would appear to take her place.

"Teacher Wei, are you teaching children?" Fang Fang said jokingly.

"Yeah, it's Brother Fang...oh, no...it's Mr. Consul." Wei Lin realized that she had made a mistake, so she quickly covered her mouth and changed her words.

Fang Fang smiled humorously and said, "There is no one else here, so you can call it whatever you want, don't worry about those."

Wei Lin shook her head and said, "I'd better obediently call you Consul, in case I call you wrong in front of everyone one day, so as not to bring bad influence."

"Okay, as you like."

Fang Fang looked at those aboriginal children, and these children immediately kowtowed to Fang Fang in panic.

After the children finished saluting, Fang Fang asked with interest: "What did you teach them today?"

Wei Lin said: "Before I taught anything, I taught a method of holding a pen. These children have just passed the language test. They can speak to us, but they can't write, so we have to teach them from the beginning. .”

"That's really hard work for you."

"It's nothing. In fact, having more of them in the design institute has many benefits. At least now I don't have to be as boring as before."

"That's good."

Wei Lin suddenly remembered something, and said eagerly: "Recently, I thought of something, and I feel it is necessary to tell you."

Fang Fang asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"Our conditions are getting better and better. Since even iron can be smelted, why not try papermaking?"

"papermaking……"

Wei Lin said: "Yes, making paper is not difficult compared to it. During the Han Dynasty in China, didn't some eunuchs know how to use the fibers of bark and leaves to make the earliest paper? I think we can do the same. try."

Fang Fang seemed to be enlightened, he kept patting his forehead, and shouted that he was too stupid.

Previously, the island suffered from lack of paper to record things, so they could only write things on clay tablets, which was too cumbersome and troublesome.

In comparison, if there is paper on the island, too many problems can be solved.

Seeing how excited Equation was, Wei Lin became more determined to make paper, "Why don't you let me try it, I want to do something for you too."

How could Equation refuse to agree to this kind of thing, and immediately nodded happily, "Okay, then this matter will be your responsibility."

"Wait, wait a minute..."

"what happened?"

Wei Lin looked at the equation in surprise.

Equation asked, "Doesn't it take a lot of wood to make paper?"

Wei Lin nodded and said, "Of course, raw pulp paper is made of wood."

"This is troublesome." Fang Yi clapped his hands and said annoyedly, "Actually, I came to you today because of this matter. Yesterday, Lao Lu told me that there are not many trees on our island. If you cut off the island, you will be bald."

"Oh!"

Wei Lin let out a long sigh.

Dare Equation is for this reason.

Fang Fang scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I came to you just for this matter, and I want to hear if you have any good solutions here."

Wei Lin poked her index finger lightly at the corner of her mouth, looking at the map on the big table and lost in thought.

After a while, Wei Lin said: "To solve the timber crisis, one is to increase revenue, the other is to reduce expenditure, and the third is to find alternative resources as soon as possible."

Needless to say, open source and reduce expenditure, transport wood from surrounding islands, and then try to avoid waste when using it.

As for the third point, find alternative resources. At present, charcoal is used for iron smelting on islands, and the only thing that can replace charcoal is coal.

"Is there coal in this sea area?" Fang Fang asked without confidence.

"It hasn't been found yet."

Wei Lin shook her head, coal resources are not like iron mines, open-pit coal mines are rare.

They obviously don't have the ability to explore the coal mines hidden underground.

Fang Fang rubbed his nose and said, "That is to say, the best way at present is to transport the timber from other islands back."

Wei Lin pointed to an island on the map and said, "This is Heitooth Island. Its area is larger than our Wan Guo City, and it is closer to us than Bailu Island. Most of it is covered by forests. If necessary, we can try to transport the wood from Black Tooth Island to Wan Guo City."

"For the charcoal we need, we can also burn it directly on Black Tooth Island. The charcoal is much lighter than logs, and more can be transported at one time." Wei Lin added.

"Okay, great, just do it your way!"
