Lord of Industrialization

Chaper's body was hung on the wall for five days and then taken down. Only his servant was still hanging there.

Archduke Byrne wrote a personal letter to Baron Wesson, saying that plain water was more nutritious than boiled water.

Writing a letter only showed that Archduke Byrne paid personal attention to the matter, and the key content was still conveyed orally by the messenger.

Archduke Byrne's request was simple. After all, Chaiper was a member of the Wittelsbach family and did not want his body to be treated like this.

Frederick did not dwell on the matter and agreed to the envoys redeeming Chaiper's body.

He has more important things to do. At the monthly meeting of Wesson's senior leaders, Dominic, who performed very well in this case, was ordered to form a police station to prevent, stop and investigate illegal and criminal activities and maintain social order. The functions of the government were separated from the Executive Yuan, the military and the courts and handed over to the police.

At the same time, he established the Education Bureau and appointed Arms as Education Officer, August and Herbart as Education Undersecretaries, in charge of Wesenland's education work.

These three people often dominate the education section of "Wesson Daily" and communicate frequently in private. Now they are very happy to work together on official matters and are ready to make great achievements here.

At the meeting, Administrator Frick proposed the establishment of a special financial bureau to manage Wesson's money bag.

In his private words, now that the government has so many more departments, each department's grabbing of the budget is enough to give him a headache to death. It is better to separate this function and let others have a headache.

Frederick agreed to Frick's suggestion, but there was currently no talent in this field in the territory, so he would first serve as financial officer.

Frick's face twitched after receiving the appointment, and he subconsciously looked at the medical officer Frank, thinking that he would have to run to him more often in the future.

Frederick assigned the new militia reform to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and asked old Franz to take charge of formulating the plan.

With the work arranged, Frederick began to undertake a very important task.

Mrs. Sophie's fleet arrived, which was all filled with fine cotton. After unloading, they left with steel, elemental steel and other local products.

The warehouse was now filled with cotton and wool that had been hoarded before, enough for Frederick to cry.

The textile industry must be developed. Now that conditions permit, it will naturally be launched.

Frederick was very familiar with cotton spinning. In his previous life, he was a child of a cotton textile printing and dyeing factory. He had never eaten pork, but he had watched pigs running around since he was a child.

Textile is divided into two major parts: spinning and weaving.

To spin cotton into yarn, it generally needs to go through major processes such as blow cleaning, carding, drawing, roving, and spinning.

The weaving process includes the main processes of winding, warping, sizing, drawing in and weaving.

Jenny spinning machine is used in the stage of processing roving into fine yarn. If you want to comprehensively improve the spinning efficiency, Jenny spinning machine alone is not enough.

And he has never seen the actual Jenny spinning machine, but he has seen all the machines in the textile factory.

After Frederick returned to Heijiaburg, he took out paper, pen and drawing tools and began to draw the schematic diagram of the machine from memory.

There is no need to think about that kind of fully automated machine. We can only redesign the machine according to its principles.

In my hometown, after the cotton is packed and transported from the production area to the factory, the cotton bundles and rolls are fluffed and impurities are removed using cotton pickers and openers.

But Frederick was tricked by Mrs. Sophie. The cotton in his hometown had the cotton seeds removed when it was produced. However, Mrs. Sophie picked the cotton and dried it before packing it and sending it. It also had to go through a cotton gin to remove the cotton seeds. .

But it's not entirely a bad thing.

The principle of removing cotton seeds in a cotton gin is very simple. There is a rotating roller in the machine with some fine serrations on it to drive the cotton. It carries the cotton through a comb, and the cotton seeds and larger debris can be removed, and then a scraper is used to remove the cotton seeds. The cotton knife scrapes the cotton from the roller.

The cotton that comes out at this time is already relatively fluffy, so you can save the step of picking up the cotton and send it to the cotton opener next.

The main component of the cotton opener is also a roller. Several rollers are arranged in a stepped manner. The cotton enters at a low place at a slow speed and the cotton comes out at a high place at a fast speed. The cotton is driven by the roller and guided by the scraper. Pass through these rollers. There are many small metal sticks installed on each roller. When rotating, the cotton is further loosened and debris is removed.

Next, it has to go through a single-roller cotton opener with a higher speed to further loosen and remove impurities from the cotton.

Then the cotton enters the carding machine, where there are densely packed fine needles on the rollers. After the soft cotton ball passes between several rollers with different speeds and relative motions, the cotton ball is completely broken up, and the long fibers are carded into smooth Moving in the same direction, short fibers will be removed.

The carded cotton is like a thin piece of cotton, which is gathered together to form a cotton sliver. Several cotton slivers are combined into one in the draw frame to make the cotton fibers evenly distributed, and then pulled through small rollers with different speeds. The thicker cotton sliver is pulled into long and thin cooked cotton sliver.

Then it was the turn of the roving frame and the spinning frame. After the cotton sliver passed through rollers at different speeds, it was further processed into roving and spun yarn of different fineness under the action of drafting force and twist. This method is much faster than the Jenny spinning machine. The efficiency is much higher, but the prerequisite is sufficient power.

Next comes the weaving stage.

Winding is to wrap the yarn around the cylinder to facilitate the next step of work.

Warping is to wind a certain amount of yarn on a long tube of a certain width as the warp thread during weaving, that is, the thread in the length direction of the fabric.

In order to improve the strength of the yarn and reduce wear during the weaving process, the yarn needs to go through a sizing process, which requires a sizing machine.

The drop pieces used for drawing the warp, the healds, heald frames and heald rods that make up the heald frame made Frederick's head suddenly grow bigger.

Except for the drop piece that was often used to make boomerangs when I was a kid, I only remember the other parts roughly.

The shuttle of the loom is simple. Many chairs in the factory just use angle steel to weld a frame, and then use the discarded shuttle to make the seat surface and backrest board. It is common to see them.

The structure of the loom is not a problem. He has seen a human-powered dual-purpose loom. This loom can be driven by an engine or by manual pedals. It is sufficient in this era.

When Frederick finished drawing the drawings, he leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. The workload was not small, and it went far beyond designing a steam engine.

And it took a lot of time. Two red apples appeared in front of him.

"Would you like an apple?" Maria held a ripe apple in her hand. Her face was flushed from exhaustion because of apple picking.

Frederick cheered up, took the apple, went to the tea cabinet to get a plate and a knife, cut the apple into pieces, then cut it into a bunny shape and put it on the plate.

The two of them were sitting on the sofa eating apples with forks. Frederick asked Maria: "Is apple picking fun?"

Maria pouted and replied: "It's not fun, you won't even go with me."

Frederick smiled bitterly and ate a piece of apple.

The difficulty of designing the entire textile process was beyond my imagination, and it took me most of the autumn.

"I'm done now," said Frederick. "Shall we go play tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Maria immediately became happy, "Where are we going to play?"

Frederick curled his lips and said, "How about we go look at the stars!"
