Fu Tinghan was not familiar with the papermaking process and was still exploring, but memory is a peculiar thing. At first, he felt he wasn't familiar with it and wouldn't know much. But once he actually started, related knowledge points began to surface in his memory.
The deeper he delved into the research, the more related points emerged, and he came to know more.
For example, at this moment, upon seeing the gelatin removed and the fibers softening into a mush, he instinctively knew they could be steamed or pounded to make the process faster.
As soon as they heard steaming was possible, the craftsmen immediately set up a large cauldron, added water, and began heating it.
They then scooped up the lumps of fiber from the puddle and placed them into the cauldron. Once the water wasn't as cold, they started using wooden benches as footrests and surrounded the cauldron to knead the mass of fibers with their hands.
