The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 144 Ushered in the first grain harvest season after taking control of the Fifth Battalion!

It turns out that the legendary brocade was made in this way?Song Yingkui stared at the psychedelic brocade machine in a daze for a long time before regaining his senses.

Although the mechanical composition of the tapestry machine is complex, it is not so complicated that it is shocking, but its problem-solving thinking is absolutely amazing.Using the loom to directly weave complex patterns, isn't this a typical computer idea?The textile machine is like a processing system, and the pattern woven is like the output part. Compared with a real computer, what is missing is the storage system and the processing part that needs manual assistance.

From the brocade weaving machine, Song Yingkui thought of a machine he had heard about when he was in school, the card perforation jacquard machine.It is called the rudimentary form of computers in later generations. Some mechanical teachers use this thing to tease those who study computer majors, saying that mechanical majors are the ancestors of computer majors.According to this logic, isn't the tapestry worker the earliest programmer in the world?
"Master Zhenshou, may this brocade loom in my house fall into your eyes?" Seeing that Song Yingkui could barely pull his eyes out looking at the brocade loom, Li Junhao knew that he had once again bet on the right direction of investment.Not to mention far away, with a radius of hundreds of miles, only his family can have such a rare item.

"It's a good thing! It's so ingenious. When I saw this thing, I couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of manpower. If Li Dong's family didn't dislike it, Mr. Song might come over to disturb Mrs. Li from time to time during this period, so as to watch the woman weave brocade." The brocade weaving machine is a complex set of machinery. It is definitely not comprehensive to grasp its static state only, but also depends on the linkage state and function of each mechanical component when it is running, so that this machine can be fully understood.Most people would not be able to use such a complicated machine.

"I can donate the guard and the brocade weaving machine to the guard mansion, why bother your lord to come to my house to observe it?"

"This machine is too complicated. It is estimated that no one will use it when we arrive at the town guard's mansion. It is still necessary to trouble Mrs. Li to master it personally. Why don't I come and observe it, just don't know if it is convenient or not?"

Li Junhao's wife heard Song Yingkui's words, her eyes seemed to reveal a light, and after subduing her divine light, she spoke up and said: "My Qianniang has been weaving brocade with me since I was a child, and she knows how to use this thing!"

Can Li Guoqian use a brocade loom?She is also an ancient programmer?Song Yingkui naturally understood what the old lady of the Li family meant by saying this.But, can I use Li Guoqian?

"Thank you Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li's family for helping me generously! I want this brocade loom. Please send it to the official office of Shipingguan Town Guard as soon as possible, and temporarily hand it over to Qianniang for safekeeping and debugging."

Make the best use of things and make the best use of people. Since Li Guoqian knows how to use this thing, he can't waste talents. The relationship between himself and Li Guoqian is another matter.Besides, Li Guoqian's stay in Shipingguan is like a living, so find something for her to do. In the future, when the two get divorced, maybe they can continue to employ people!

After agreeing with Li Junhao to donate the brocade machine, Song Yingkui went back to Shiping Pass and specifically asked Li Guoqian to tell her to work in the newly established textile machinery development group.The work she has to do is very simple, mainly to keep and operate the brocade weaving machine, so that she and the craftsmen in the group can observe how the brocade weaving machine works.

"In the future, you will be one of the members of the textile machinery research and development team. You will receive a monthly salary of one or two silver tentatively. If you want to work on the salary in the future, we can discuss it. Besides operating the brocade weaving machine, I will help you remember The work account in the group. The content of the account is what the craftsmen have done every day, what troubles they encountered while working, and if they have ideas to solve the troubles, they will also write it down for me to review!"

The Institute of Textile Machinery is a grass-roots team, and the craftsmen who come in are basically illiterate, and occasionally those who are literate can only read a few words.On Song Yingkui's side, there are many other chores to deal with, and it is impossible to spend a long time on the research and development of textile machinery.Since Li Guoqian was going to work there, and she was still able to read and write, she would also do the secretarial work in the group.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Qianniang will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment." Li Guoqian, who had been idle for more than half a year, was upset. She could do something and receive money, so she couldn't refuse.From the attitude of the Li family, they still hope that if possible, it is best to maintain the existing relationship with the Song family.Li Guoqian naturally understood this truth.

"You are pregnant, so be careful when you work, and don't be too tired."

After giving Li Guoqian a few words of advice, Song Yingkui went to the textile research team again and assigned them some additional tasks.At this stage, the main work of the craftsmen in the textile research group is to develop suitable wool spinning wheels and wool looms as soon as possible; to start experimenting with cotton wool, hemp wool blending technology, in order to produce suitable blended spinning machines in a relatively short period of time; Starting to imitate the brocade weaving machine, it is best to understand the manufacturing process of the brocade weaving machine before the end of this year, and be able to imitate the brocade weaving machine.

The imitation of the brocade weaving machine was not because Song Yingkui became interested in the brocade weaving industry, but because he wanted to improve the level of machinery manufacturing by the craftsmen in the Textile Research Group through imitation, so that they have the ability to manufacture truly complex machinery.

At the same time, some techniques of the brocade weaving machine have great reference value for the development of complex linked textile machines in the future.Such as the solution and thinking of the linkage device, and the technical path of multi-layer latitude and longitude weaving.Even if you don't want to make a flower loom, many technologies of this thing are useful.Another one, in Song Yingkui's heart, there were even ripples of developing a card perforated flower loom.Maybe when the conditions are good, this thing can be made.

After seeing the ancient brocade loom, Song Yingkui became more confident in the successful development of linked weaving.The ancestors were able to make such complex machines. At least I have studied mechanics as a traveler, so I can do it without a challenge?
Food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road needs to be taken step by step. As long as you have firm confidence and a clear direction, one day you will be able to realize your little dream.

"These two wool looms, I think they are usable. After you agree on the standard size of each original, let Secretary Li record it. Then according to the case regulations, make [-] sets of each of the two looms, and wait for this After the official inspection, it will be handed over to shopkeeper Guo to arrange people to weave woolen cloth. The work on the development of woolen looms will be over, and we must focus on other tasks.”

The textile research group finally made a woolen spinning machine that people can see. After realizing standardized production, Song Yingkui wanted to weave a batch of woolen cloth as soon as possible.It's almost winter again during the conversation, and the soldiers' winter clothes are best made of woolen cloth.

Time flies, and after the end of July, farmers are busy harvesting grain.Seeing the scene where the townspeople flocked to the fields to harvest grain happily, Song Yingkui couldn't help feeling a little complacent.This is the first harvest season after I took control of the Fifth Battalion. In any case, the grain collected in the warehouse is more or less due to my contribution.
