Chapter 130: A New Timekeeper?
At dusk, Su Bai had people bring the dried paper into the Main Teepee, and the wooden boards were arranged on the stone table.
He carefully peeled off the thoroughly dried paper from the wooden boards. It naturally produced an uneven sheet of paper.
If paper were made as on Earth, the pulp would be spread on a large bamboo screen. After drying, it would be manually divided into individual sheets, which would be a more troublesome process without the proper tools. Thus, Su Bai had Gu Mu make small wooden boards, roughly 297mm*420mm in size, with some slight deviations due to the limitations of tools for precision and accuracy.
This size was quite common on Earth, neither too big nor too small. Once the pulp dried, it could be torn off directly as a single sheet of paper.
Of course, he first drew the size out and had Gu Mu copy it.
“Where exactly did we go wrong?” Su Bai frowned, his expression a bit grave.
The whole sheet of paper was not only uneven in appearance but also easily torn, full of holes, looking quite unsightly.
Su Bai tore it a few more times, then crumpled it into a ball to test the quality of the paper.
He put down the crumpled paper ball and sighed, muttering to himself. “Seems like some steps were wrong.”
