A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Suddenly, a vast, towering mountain range appeared on that mountain range, with a thick layer of ice and snow at its very top.

Shen Shuli's eyes lit up instantly.

She never expected that the space could change the state of the mountains on its own, and now snow-capped mountains have appeared.

really.

The higher the spatial hierarchy, the more realistic it will be.

Shen Shuli had Xie Chengyuan fly the helicopter slowly.

Shen Shuli collected all the snow more than ten meters above the ground into her spatial storage.

The snow on the towering mountains in the space was also increasing and becoming thicker.

Perhaps it was with the appearance of the snow-capped mountains.

The temperature inside the space was one or two degrees lower than before.

It remains the optimal temperature for human and animal life.

Shen Shuli flew around and collected almost all the snow in the uninhabited area of ​​Canglan Kingdom.

They then continued their journey towards Pagan and India.

Along the way, they not only collected the snow from both countries, but also plundered various resources hidden in the earth.

Especially Bagan.

The jadeite veins here are even richer than those in the Jade City of the Great Yong Kingdom, and the quality is also quite different.

The jade mine in Shen Shuli's space has been almost completely used up.

She didn't stand on ceremony and moved almost all the jade mines in the entire Bagan Kingdom into her spatial storage.

These jade mines are enough for Shen Shuli to upgrade her spatial dimension to level 50.

There are only three days left until the blizzard disaster.

Shen Shuli plans to return to the territory of Dayong.

She wanted to clear all the snow from the territory of Dayong.

Dayong is Shen Shuli's root no matter what, so she wants to collect the snow even more thoroughly.

Only a meter of snow was left on the ground.

Even if it snows heavily for another two or three days.

The snow depth will not accumulate too much.

Once the weather clears up and the snow melts, there will be no large-scale flooding, which would cause more suffering for the people.

Then they returned to the island.

All the snow on the island was cleared away, leaving only half a meter of snow.

She compressed the relatively clean snow into blocks in the space and stored them in the warehouse for preservation.

The snow is relatively clean, allowing the islanders to store it in their cellars to refrigerate food during the summer.

Furthermore, the ice blocks that have passed through the space warehouse have all been disinfected and sterilized by the space, and can be used to make various iced drinks.

During this month, in addition to collecting snow, Shen Shuli also found several resources in those two countries that had not been collected in space.

The space level has reached 26.

During this month.

All five groups are making good progress.

Xiao Yuxuan and Mu Wanjun have already developed a pencil.

As for other hard-tipped pens such as carbon pens, these require more advanced materials and technology, which the island's current technology cannot yet achieve.

However, it's already quite an achievement that we were able to develop pencils.

The pencil lead requires graphite, and these materials need to be provided by the group that makes the ink sticks.

It wasn't too difficult for the two of them.

The material used to make pencil shafts is bamboo.

They used thin, soft bamboo of similar thickness, hollowed it out with spiral wire, and then stuffed the pen refills with glue inside.

The craftsmanship is somewhat rougher compared to modern techniques.

But for them, this is the best they can do right now.

Since pencils need to be sharpened, Xiao Yuxuan had a blacksmith at the steel mill make a batch of small daggers that could cut through iron like mud. These daggers needed to be managed by someone.

We have pencils, but we can't make erasers yet, so we can't erase or correct mistakes.

Furthermore, handwriting does not last as long as calligraphy.

These pens are not yet widely available or mainstream.

It has many drawbacks.

You also shouldn't let children who have just started school practice with a calligraphy brush while simultaneously using a pencil.

This will only make them spend more time, resulting in neither of them being able to adapt and increasing their resistance to learning.

Therefore, the brush pen is still the primary tool.

As for the calligraphy brush.

Their group has produced a lot in the past two months.

But the quantity is far from enough.

We need to send more people.

Su Yunhai then assigned two thousand people to Xiao Yuxuan to help rush the production.

The ink stick project, which Xiao Yan was in charge of, was the slowest progressing of the five projects.

The production of ancient ink sticks required at least two to three years, mainly because the time for the ink sticks to air dry could not be shortened.

He has produced a batch of inksticks, but they need time to air dry.

However, he has already developed a batch of inks, which are much simpler to make and use.

While the color and texture of ink are not as good as ink sticks, it is more than enough for beginners.

Furthermore, the ink is simple and convenient to make, requiring no frequent grinding, making it more beginner-friendly.

As for the ink sticks produced, they can be provided to people with higher needs.

Once the world is at peace, these can all be used for trade.

Therefore, we need to expedite the production process.

There are many types of ink sticks.

There are ink powders made from red pine wood and ink powders made from various oils, and both have their own target audiences.

Xiao Yan built many workshops and produced a lot of ink sticks made from various materials.

Wait a year later.

Then they can be shipped out in large quantities one after another.

The brothers Su Yunshan and Su Yunlin were in charge of papermaking.

They have semi-automated machines and have expanded to fifteen operating rooms.

There is already a large stock of paper.

The inkstones made by my grandfather Su Baogen and grandmother Wang Cuilan became more and more sophisticated with their skills and experience.

Their inkstone production rate is getting higher and higher, but the time required to fire each inkstone is not short, and the number of inkstones is still far from enough.

Fortunately, Emperor Xiao Yan invented ink, which was stored in earthenware or porcelain bottles. Brushes could be dipped directly into the ink in the bottle, so the need for inkstones was not very great.

It's enough for the teachers to use.

There was also the movable type printing technique overseen by Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua.

Because there are few craftsmen who can carve characters.

They only made twenty sets of movable type printing.

Eight sets of Song typeface, eight sets of Kai typeface, and several sets of Pinyin letters and Arabic numerals were also engraved.

The fonts were provided by Su Baogen and Wang Cuilan, and both are modern simplified fonts.

It's estimated that there are many characters inside that most scholars of this era wouldn't be able to recognize.

We still need to re-educate people to read and write.

free time.

They also need to review and study various modern textbooks together, and compile a new set of textbooks.

They were all so busy they were spinning like tops and couldn't stop.

However, Shen Shuli left her parents a lot of spiritual spring water before she left.

It can help everyone and the working people recover their physical and mental strength; otherwise, even young people probably wouldn't be able to persevere.

Blizzard disaster.

The music stopped precisely at midnight on the night Shen Shuli returned to the island.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The natural disaster is finally over.

Early the next morning.

The air temperature has noticeably warmed up.

Shen Shuli took out a thermometer and measured the temperature; it had returned to minus thirty degrees Celsius.

It's much warmer than the previous minus forty degrees Celsius.

Su Yunhai organized all the people to stop all work and coordinated everyone to clear all the snow from the activity areas of all people in the three bases.

This day.

Su Yunhai directly overturned the previous calendar, because the previous calendar had been completely destroyed by the natural disaster and could no longer be used.

Today, however, marks a new beginning.

He designated this day as January 1st in the Gregorian calendar, as New Year's Day.

The first day of the first lunar month is designated as the Spring Festival.

The day before the Spring Festival is designated as Lunar New Year's Eve.

Then a new calendar was introduced, and the people were instructed to use the new calendar as their standard.

The algorithm for the new calendar was provided by Shen Shuli.

The new era name was Huaxia.

They also introduced a seven-day week and a four-week month.

There are also new time concepts of days of the week.

It can be said.

This is a major reform for all the people on the island.

A year and a half has passed since we fled the famine.

They had never experienced a lively Chinese New Year.

Su Yunhai notified all the people.

On the day of the Spring Festival, the island will have a lively celebration, so this is the time to start preparing.

Su Yunhai and Su Yunlin, who were in charge of papermaking, had people rush to produce a batch of thicker single-sided and double-sided red paper overnight for people to use for cutting paper-cuts and pasting couplets.

Let's add a splash of color to this ravaged world.

Shen Shuli was still thinking about organizing a lantern festival.

This holiday was something Shen Shuli had planned long ago.

It is also a festival that all the men and women on the island have been looking forward to for a long time.

This is the day they finally find love, so naturally they take it very seriously.

After three days of clearing the snow, we finally got rid of all the snow that was in the way.

While clearing the snow in front of her house, Shen Shuli made a huge dog, which looked exceptionally lifelike.

The sight of it made the children on the street go home and clamor for their parents to build them a snowman too.

Not long after.

Almost every household now has one or two snowmen of various kinds in front of their doors.

The children's laughter echoed throughout the residential area.

Su Yunhai directly ordered all factories to close for the holidays, including all production related to writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Even the shipyard and saltworks were notified to all the people in the military camp.

At the same time, they had someone make the new calendar into a beautiful wall calendar.

The patterns on the calendar were all ready-made patterns that Shen Shuli found in the books in her space, and they were all in the style of traditional Chinese paintings.

All the paintings were chosen to be suitable illustrations according to the month.

Then, the calendar was copied using a photocopier in the space, but it wasn't made of paper.

Paper mills currently lack the technology to produce the extra-thick paper used in calendars.

Shen Shuli chose durable fine cotton fabric.

These calendars can be reused after use, and the patterns on them can be used to make clothes, pillows, and other items.

It won't be a waste.

Shen Shuli only made 10,000 copies.

The materials were simply too limited, and the ink in her copier wasn't much, so she couldn't use it all on this. Otherwise, she would definitely have sent a copy to every family.

If all families have access to calendars, they will be able to adapt to the new calendars quickly.

But that's not possible right now.

Because many people don't even recognize the numbers 1, 2, and 3, even if they are given out, they won't recognize them, so it's a waste to leave them there.

These 10,000 copies will be divided equally among the three bases and one military camp, and used as a reward for outstanding, hardworking and capable workers.

Shen Shuli hired a group of young people to help decorate the base with various beautiful and exquisite lanterns, colorful ribbons, and artificial flowers made from scraps of fabric, which she had been preparing for the past few months.
