survival in the wilderness

In early September, ship after ship returned, bringing back the first batch of coal.

In fact, when coal was first discovered, the number of cities gradually increased, but there was no such a large amount of transportation as this time.

Many people are guessing that this is reserved for the cold season.

After all, after using coal, everyone knows that it is more resistant to burning than firewood and charcoal, and is more suitable for use in cold seasons.

However, after waiting and waiting, a large amount of charcoal was never sold. Instead, more than half of it was transported to the scientific research institute, and the rest was stored in the warehouse.

Everyone was discussing, guessing that the scientific research institute was going to do something big and needed so much coal.

No matter how guessed, no one has come forward to explain.The Court of Arbitration and various institutions seemed to be ignorant of what the people were talking about, and everyone remained silent.

Lin Yan and most of the people in the scientific research institute plunged into the improvement of the steam engine, and had no time to take care of everything outside.

Months of hard work have paid off, and the original automatic spinning machine has long lost its original appearance.In their place are big, well-crafted, imposing-looking guys.The efficiency has increased by more than ten times.

This brand new automatic spinning machine can replace twenty manual spinning machines.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the coals to come back and burn the spinning machine.

On September [-]th, many people from the Academy of Sciences and the four arbitrators gathered to witness the arrival of this moment.

I saw with my own eyes that the coal was burning, the huge but extremely fine spinning machine was running automatically, and the clumps of cotton quickly turned into balls of thread.

All the people present were shocked, and it turned out that such a miracle was true.

Bai Yun's eyes widened. At this moment, she finally understood what Alan said last, "Lin Yan and the others are people who can create miracles."

If not, how should the scene in front of me be explained?Bai Yun looked at the balls of thread piously, and touched them lightly with trembling hands, for fear that a little more strength would break the amazing picture.

The automatic spinning machine seems to be tireless, running continuously, completely disregarding the mood of the audience.

Except for Lin Yan who was still calm, everyone else was very excited. Witnessing this scene with their own eyes caused a great shock.

As calm as Bai Chen and Shi Zhi, they also lost their usual composure at this moment.Even though it had been conceived a long time ago, it was still shocked when it became a reality.

After a long time, Lin Yan broke the silence of this moment.

"This is the automatic spinning machine, which was carefully developed by the scientific research institute. As you can see, it has powerful functions and high efficiency. This is just the beginning, and our looms will be the same next year, and there will be more machines in the future Birth, such as automatic threshers, etc."

"With such spinning and weaving machines, as long as there is enough energy and raw materials, you can make as much thread and cloth as you want. Instead of wasting a lot of manpower on spinning and weaving, these people can do other things, Create greater value. Therefore, the research investment of the scientific research institute must be huge, and the arbitrators should give more consideration and support."

The figures of the scientific research institute seemed to be bewitched, staring at the four arbitrators in unison.

Bai Yun and the others instantly felt great pressure, who could withstand such fiery eyes.

Minglan pretended to be calm and said, "We still need to discuss this matter. However, the automatic spinning machine has opened up a new field, and I personally support it."

Fenghua calmed down the excitement in his heart, and asked: "Have you calculated the development cost of the automatic spinning machine, and how much did it cost?"

This sentence is right on point. The automatic spinning machine is very good, but if the cost is too high, it cannot bear it.

Lin Yan was already prepared and took out his notebook, "Here is the record of all the materials used and the calculated cost of the automatic spinning machine. Since it is the first time to do it, it is inevitable that there will be some waste. The total cost is 43 yuan and fifty cents."

"It's too expensive to make." Baiyun was taken aback. More than 40 yuan is a sky-high price. An ordinary person's annual income has just reached five yuan, and this is money without deducting daily expenses.

Lin Yan said unhurriedly: "For the first research and development, it is normal to invest a lot. In the future, the cost will only be half of the cost. If it is produced in large quantities, the cost can be reduced. Compared with the cost input, the automatic spinning machine The efficiency of creation is higher. It can replace more than 20 people, saving labor costs. In this way, it is more cost-effective than the original textile machine.”

Fenghua nodded, "That's true. Long-term use of automatic spinning machines must be more efficient than manual spinning machines, saving costs and creating more value. But with our current financial situation, there are too many places to spend money. The cost that can be used for research by scientific research institutes is limited."

"I understand. The annual research and development investment of the scientific research institute is already a large proportion, we can take it slowly." Lin Yan smiled, "We just want everyone to see these research results, which will bring greater convenience. In the future, we can Long-term support for the development of the Academy of Sciences. I hope the Court of Arbitration will give more consideration and support.”

Ming Lan nodded, "We all understand what you said, and detailed calculations are still needed. The alliance's tax revenue cannot be spent on scientific research institutes."

Black Soil: "Most of the tax revenue is used to pay the salaries of civil servants and soldiers, and it is really limited to use it in scientific research institutes. If scientific research institutes want to develop rapidly, they need to bear part of the expenses themselves."

Lin Yan nodded, "That's natural. The scientific research institute has always borne part of the expenses on its own, and the transfer and sale of technological achievements is a large part. Except for the financial handover, the rest is invested in new research and development."

Regarding the issue of research and development costs, the Arbitration Court still needs to negotiate before giving a result. Lin Yan understands that this is a normal process, and he doesn't force it. He just reminds the four arbitrators first and asks them to think more about the Research Institute.

After seeing Bai Yun and the others off, Ye Cong hurriedly said, "Should we have to wait a while to study the loom?"

After the spinning machine was ready, they put their energy into the loom, and planned to make a machine that could spin and weave at the same time.

There are too many plans in the future, if there is no money, they will all become fantasy.

Shi Zhi was very calm, "What are you waiting for? There is no financial support, we rely on ourselves. We sold the spinning machines and cooperated with the spinning and weaving factories, and asked them to pay for our research and development. Anyway, the results of the research and development, the spinning and weaving factories Cloth factories are the last beneficiaries."

"This is also a way." Lin Yan agreed, "Not only that, we can also cooperate with woodworking factories, metal processing factories, etc. to let them process parts and benefit together. There are so many factories, there are always a few who are willing to invest in us Money. It’s really not possible, there are banks, and you can get loans. In short, research can’t stop, don’t worry about money.”

With Lin Yan's guarantee, the others were full of confidence.Just achieved a little achievement, they are full of self-confidence, when they are ready to show their strengths, having no money is like pouring a pot of cold water on their heads.

The success of the automatic spinning machine quickly spread in Sun City.The rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and what they say is miraculous, which arouses the people's strong curiosity.

Countless people came to the scientific research institute to see the truth, but unfortunately they were all rejected.
