Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 96 Flying Shuttle Loom

On the second day, a steaming ship was parked at the ferry, but everyone around was surprised. Some people thought it was on fire and wanted to go up and put out the fire. It was not until Zhang San and others persuaded and put out the fire that everyone reacted. The boat had no oars.

Zhang San brought three craftsmen, and they were the ones with more flexible brains. After getting off the boat, he followed Zhu Zhanchang to the Cao family's textile factory.

"I'm looking for you today to see the working procedures of the female textile workers, to see where they can be improved, and if there is anything that can be used for steam engines."

Zhu Zhanchang wanted to directly use the Jenny textile machine, that is, the shuttle textile machine, but it was a bit strange that someone who grew up in a palace suddenly made something.

The principle of the steam engine is to boil water, and it is reasonable to think about it, but he has never seen cloth weaving in his life, so he should find a few people to discuss it in a fake mode.

Zhu Zhanchang also read the principle of the shuttle textile machine on Bilibili. I don't know if Bilibili has the ability to select traversers, and all these things are pushed to him.

However, he was originally a veteran audience who was deeply involved in the dance area and technical section.

After a long walk, the weaving workshop of Cao’s family is considered the best in Huzhou Prefecture. There are no less than 200 female workers in it. The best silk is not produced here, only the defective cocoons produced in silkworm breeding, silk making and silk weaving. , waste silk is processed into yarn spun silk and ordinary cotton silk are produced here.

Textile tools are relatively backward and production efficiency is low.

Zhu Zhanchang estimates that if there is a shuttle weaving machine, at least in the aspect of weaving, the efficiency can be improved tenfold.

Improving efficiency and increasing production capacity can also reduce production costs. The cost is reduced and the selling price is also reduced. At the same time, profits have not decreased, and people can buy clothes at lower prices.

Zhang San and others asked the workers in detail if there is any improvement in weaving, and the needs must be found first.

After finding Zhu Zhanchang's free time, Cao Xinyue asked inexplicably, "The steaming boat just now really doesn't need oars?"

Zhu Zhanchang nodded: "Yes, I can take you to the boat to try it later."

"What do you want to do by bringing so many people to the weaving workshop?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Cao Xinyue nodded, and Zhu Zhanchang said helplessly: "It's obviously trying to improve the weaving process."

"Why do you want to improve? The current situation is not very good."

"You don't understand this. Only by improving the process can increase the production capacity, and only by increasing the production capacity can the price be lowered."

When he heard that the price was lowered, Cao Xinyue became anxious: "The price has been lowered, and my family must not lose money."

"You should stop doing business in the future. Find someone to marry soon."

Cao Xinyue was ashamed and angry, and could not wait to punch Zhu Zhanchang two more times.

Zhang San's brain is the most active, after observing it, he said: "Your Highness, I just watched a circle, the process of weaving is almost always a cycle of several movements, or it may be possible to create a machine to replace it. part of the job."

part?That's the majority. Zhu Zhanchang still agrees with Zhang San's idea.

After watching the existing looms, Zhang San and others moved over to try one.

The method Zhang San thought of was to use the steam engine to drive the silk thread to increase the speed of the thread, but he immediately shook his head: "The speed of the thread is accelerated, but the speed of the workers cannot keep up with the machinery, and it is dangerous and cannot improve the efficiency."

Zhu Zhanchang took a shuttle, walked to the edge of the loom, and said: "I just saw the operation of the female workers. Weaving is nothing more than the intersection of vertical and horizontal silk threads. If multiple cotton spindles are vertical, then Is it alright for this shuttle to keep traversing the horizontal thread?"

Suddenly, Zhang San started to fiddle with cotton ingots on the loom.

It is staggered up and down, a shuttle is placed horizontally with silk threads, and then he stretches out his hand to signal his subordinates to pass the shuttle through the longitudinal silk threads, and then tighten them.

After several attempts, this requires the spindles to be placed in a staggered and orderly manner, and then rhythmically to make the loom run.

Machines can only operate mechanically, and people need to set the rules, and now what Zhang San and others are doing is thinking about the rules.

After the shuttle passed through once, Zhang San smiled happily: "Your Highness, it is feasible, this method is feasible."

Zhu Zhanchang poured a basin of cold water on him: "But if it's running fast, it's impossible to artificially pass through the shuttle like this, otherwise it won't work."

The shuttle must be made to pass through the longitudinal silk according to the set route, time node, and fixed speed. This problem takes time to try, and it can't be rushed, at least I have come up with a solution.

As for this superficially improved loom, Chen Xuan asked a female worker to try it out. When passing through the shuttle, it needs someone to operate it. If the silk is out, just turn the wheel. The skilled female worker said that this can at least triple the loom. Weaving efficiency.

A group of female workers were surrounded by a group of people. These people came to tinker for a day and came up with a strange loom, but the efficiency was really good.

The chatter started to talk.

"This little boy looks really handsome."

"Which son is this?"

"Why do some big men care about my weaving?"

"That strange loom seems to be useful."

"I heard that they drove over a steaming boat. The boat doesn't need oars and can move on its own."

"so smart?!"

"Looks like we want to make our looms automatic too."

"Ah? The loom can also be automatic? Then we are not out of work."

"Why do everything like automatic."

……

The female workers were clamoring and laughing incessantly. There were about [-] of the three women in a show.

Despite the noisy voice, Zhang San and the others were still studying it carefully until the evening: "Your Highness, this method of flying the shuttle still needs to be tried many times. The tools here are limited. I will go back to the workshop first, and use the workshop The conditions should be able to do better.”

Zhu Zhanchang has great confidence in Zhang San's craftsmanship: "Then I'll trouble you. I'll come to the workshop in a few days to see the flying shuttle loom."

"Yoyo, Your Highness, you're breaking me by saying that."

"Do it well, this thing is done, I will show it to Your Majesty. His Majesty has issued a purple-gold stone tablet, and these things can participate in the competition."

Zhang San said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Xuan has been with him all day these days, and he has become more curious about this Fifth Highness. There are fantastic ideas, and it is not false, but what surprised him even more is that His Highness seems to be laughing and playing. Knows how to attack the heart.

The proposed use of the name to suppress the rich and giant merchants, Yang conspiracy suppresses people, and he has a feeling of equal treatment of others when he speaks to his subordinates.

Such a young emperor's grandson is incredible.
