Born In England

"It's impossible to work part-time for a lifetime. Don't try to save a thousand pounds for a lifetime part-time job!" Li Lin secretly analyzed in his heart.

If he wanted to get a thousand pounds quickly, he had to do business, but he had no capital to do business!

By buying lottery tickets?

I don’t know if lottery tickets have been invented these days! Even if there is, it depends on luck, right?

stock market?

What the hell, he never paid attention to this aspect in his previous life!

"It seems that I can only make money by relying on some knowledge from my previous life."

For example, invent something?

Invented aunt paper?

I don’t know if there are any aunt papers in this era!

Invented TT?

But the process of how to turn rubber into a TT is a bit difficult, give up...

"Hey, by the way, I can invent cigarette filters!" Li Lin suddenly thought of this little invention!

In his previous life, he was an old smoker, and he also learned about the development history of cigarettes.

He clearly remembered that in 1925, Boris experimented in the Ortmann factory of Zou Paper Industry and applied for a patent for making cigarette filters with crepe paper and cellulose wadding.

And since 1927, it has cooperated with FILTRONIC, a subsidiary of Bangzou, to produce cigarette filters. Since then, human cigarettes have entered the era of cigarette filters.

Making cigarette filters is not difficult for Li Lin.

"It's up to you!" Thinking of this, Li Lin took the money and went out, heading straight to a small shop on the street of Huaxia People's Community.

Reluctantly bought a pack of cigarettes and some cellulose wadding, and then returned to the residence.

He plans to start making cigarette filters now and link them with cigarettes.

He thought about the filling of the cigarette filter, which is cotton + activated carbon + cotton + cellulose wadding!

Then the cigarette filter wraps these fillers with cigarette paper and paste, and then connects them with the non-filter cigarettes of this year with a piece of paper and paste!

It may not look very beautiful, but what he wants is this general invention, to apply for a patent!

"Cotton?" Li Lin knew that there must be no cotton to buy nearby, so he could only find a cotton shirt, cut a small hole with a knife, and took out a few balls of cotton from it.

"Finally activated charcoal!"

As a functional carbon material with strong adsorption capacity, activated carbon has been mainly used in food and beverage, medicine, water treatment, chemical industry and other fields in the past and present.

It is also used in cigarette filters!

Even some premium cigarette filters have activated carbon.

Li Lin knows that activated carbon can be formed by carbonizing uniform coal particles. Of course, if he makes it himself now, the product is probably not up to standard, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is to let others have activated carbon in the filter.

It just so happens that most of them here usually use coal to boil water and cook, so they fiddled with a little coal, crushed it into small particles, and started to fully carbonize and burn them...

Two hours passed in a flash.

In one breath, he fiddled with ten cigarettes with cigarette filters.

Cigarette filters are all wrapped with cigarette paper, and then cigarette filters and cigarettes are wrapped with a piece of paper again, and glued firmly with paste, but he found that the paste tastes strong, so he switched to sticky porridge soup.

"Huh... finally succeeded! I will apply for a patent tomorrow!"

The next day, he asked for a day off and went directly to apply for a patent.

It has to be said that England still does a good job in patent application services in this era.

In one day, he filled out the information and submitted the application.

Next, it's a long wait.

In the following days, he could only be forced to continue to move bricks to the pier with a few Tang buddies.

...

In a flash, four months have passed.

this day.

He received an email from the patent office.

Open it and have a look!

"Hiss... I didn't expect the application to be approved so soon!" Li Lin looked at the patent in his hand, feeling a little inexplicably excited.

Originally, he thought that he would have to wait for six months or even longer, but he did not expect to receive the patent in four months.

It seems that the efficiency of the Patent Office is good.

"Tomorrow, I will sell my patent. I hope it can be sold. If it can't be sold, then it's really Barbie Q!" Li Lin prayed secretly.

The next day, I took a day off and went straight to a cigarette factory in Liverpool.

Yes, in 1881, a cigarette rolling machine that produced 120,000 cigarettes per day was patented, and cigarette factories were gradually established in some places in Europe and the United States. Before that, cigarettes were all made by hand.

As it happens, there is a cigarette factory in Liverpool!

But when he came to the door of the cigarette factory, let alone selling, the two security guards at the door wouldn't let him in at all. If he didn't run so fast, his legs would probably be broken!

"Damn it! The fantasy is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!" Li Lin walked back against the scorching sun.

After thinking about it, he was unwilling to give up and planned to try his luck at Liverpool's largest cigarette trading market.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the Juanyang trading market.

I directly picked the largest cigarette wholesale store and walked in.

At this time, he saw a middle-aged blond man with a fat head and a brain smoking a cigarette while reading a book.

Seeing Li Lin coming in, Jonas frowned and said, "Little devil, what are you doing here?"

"Hi sir, my name is Li Lin, and I would like to recommend an invention about cigarettes to you! I think you will be interested!" Li Lin said hastily.

Jonas was slightly surprised to see the foreign kid in front of him who could speak fluent English, especially when he heard that the other party said there was an invention related to cigarettes, he immediately became interested.

"What invention?"

"Cigarette filters!" As he spoke, Li Lin took out a pack of cigarettes that he had prepared a long time ago, and took out one to show the other party.

"Cigarette filters, as the name suggests, are designed to filter the smoke in the mouth, filter the harmful substances burned in tobacco, and purify the taste of the smoke, such as reducing the inhalation of tar and nicotine, which is good for the body." Li Lin said while lighting a cigarette. root, took a few sips, then extinguished it, and then disassembled the filter, and saw that the cotton inside had turned yellow!

After reading it, Jonas said with some interest, "Show it to me!"

"Give~"

After Jonas took a look at it, he really found this little invention quite interesting.

But these days, the idea that smoking is harmful to health has not yet formed, so he just thinks this invention is more interesting, and he doesn't think it is a good invention!

After studying for a while, he handed it back to Li Lin and said, "It's an interesting invention, but I don't need it!"

Li Lin was not disappointed when he saw the other party's refusal. After all, he didn't think he would be very interested in just introducing someone casually!

Unless you invent the elixir of life!

Therefore, you still need to fool, you need a three-inch tongue to fool you!

"Sir, don't rush to refuse, I'll give you a detailed explanation!"
