123 Chapter 123: Textile Machine
Chapter 123: Chapter 123
They deserve such kindness from Aslan!
Even if he possesses the talent of simulacra, it is impossible to drive the technological development of the entire town of Melo. He can properly use simulacrum to create things that cannot be produced by existing technologies, and at the same time provide these craftsmen with some fantastic ideas. , but also to correct their mistakes from time to time, so that they will not rely too much on themselves, so that new technologies and new products can be continuously developed.
"What good news!" With a flick of Aslan's hand, the ring head knife flew back to the original weapon rack.
"We have produced the textile machine you mentioned according to the lord's wishes, so please go and have a look." Saxon said excitedly.
Alfonso next to him was confused and didn't know what the textile machine was, but seeing Aslan's excited appearance after hearing the textile machine also made him excited, although he didn't know how excited he was. What, but the boss is excited, so he should follow suit.
"Let's go! Let's go and have a look right away." Aslan dragged Saxon to the carpentry workshop in the arsenal.
Along the way, Aslan's eyes were full of excitement.
Once the textile machine is available, Merlot Town will have a real fist product for the outside world.
The magic lamp gauguin shoes and silk stockings are high-end luxury goods, which are not affordable for ordinary people except for nobles and local tyrants. It seems that the profit is extremely high, but the market is too small.
But the textile industry is different. It is a leading industry of leapfrog development. Compared with agriculture, industry and mining, it is rarely restricted by natural resources and property rights. Industrial and mining products.
Moreover, the textile industry is also easy to form stable production relations and form economies of scale. The textile industry has a short production cycle and quick capital turnover, so it is relatively easy to accumulate profits.
In today's Sino Continent, the spinning tools are mainly spindles and twisting rods, which are only suitable for spinning flax yarns. They are simple in structure and very inefficient in use.
Therefore, the current main cloth in Sino Continent is linen and magic silk.
Needless to say, linen cloth, magic silk is a kind of silk protruding from a monster called cloth silkworm, which is then woven by magic.
Even in many regions, cloth is traded as currency, which shows its value.
Magic silk is expensive, and it is mainly used to make magic robes or ceremonial clothes for nobles. On weekdays, they mainly wear linen.
Entering the wood workshop, Aslan saw a piece of wooden equipment parked in the central area, and he recognized it as a pedal loom just by looking at it.
Pedal loom is a general term for a textile machine with a pedal lifting heald shedding device, which uses people's feet to step on it for work.
In the early days of his previous life, Aslan also relied on this kind of loom to produce cloth. After all, this kind of loom could be used by the family. In the later period, Aslan had already begun to hand over some of the cloth tasks to the people for weaving. He only needed to pay the OEM fee. OK.
It is a major invention in the history of loom development that the loom adopts pedals to lift the heddle. It uses human feet to step on the work, freeing the weaver's hands from the action of heddle lifting, so that he can specialize in picking and beating up. Greatly increased productivity. Taking the production of plain weave as an example, it is 20 to 60 times higher than the original loom, and each person can weave 0.3 to 1 meter per hour.
A carpenter's wife was called and began to fiddle with the loom, and soon began to work under the direction of Saxon.
Just less than ten minutes after the construction started, the woman cried out in surprise.
"This machine is so easy to use, and the work efficiency has been greatly improved."
Aslan nodded in satisfaction, and immediately said.
"Saxon has successfully developed a textile machine and will be rewarded with ten gold coins, and all other participants will be rewarded with one gold coin each."
Alfonso immediately widened his eyes, and the carpenters beside him also cheered.
Mom sells batches, no wonder I heard people say that the workers in the workshops in the arsenal are getting richer and richer, the original source is here.
"Thank you Lord Lord!"
Aslan waved his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet.
"How about the output of this textile machine? I want to mass-produce it. At least one thousand units will be produced for me in the early stage. No, five hundred units will be fine first."
Hearing Aslan's order, Saxon's face was full of seriousness, because the workload was too great.
"My lord! Depending on our current scale and speed, even if it is an assembly line operation, probably one textile machine per day is already the limit."
Aslan strode up and down.
"What about increasing the scale of production?"
Saxon started a discussion with several older carpenters and finally came to a conclusion.
"If the scale is doubled, the output can be increased by 1.5 times. If the scale is doubled, the output can be increased by more than three times."
Aslan made a decision immediately and said: "Then expand it by four times, just to help solve some employment population."
Saxon was overjoyed immediately, and quickly responded.
Today, there are three major workshops in the Armory in Melo Town, namely the heavy weapons workshop led by Kahn, the blacksmith workshop in Greenwald, and the wood workshop led by him.
The three workshops are independent of each other, and they have always competed with each other. In terms of scale, the wood workshop is the largest, with the number of people already reaching 100, but there has been no high-quality products for a long time. It only needs to help the other two workshops. There is no way to speak hard in front of him.
From now on, their carpentry workshop has also become more rigid.
"I saw this at the Kyoto farm. You can see if it works. It's better to make a sample first." Aslan quickly took out a pen and started drawing, and a simple drawing appeared in front of Saxon.
That is a windmill. This thing has begun to spread in the farms around Kyoto. It may take some time for it to spread here.
The purpose of Aslan asking Saxon to make it is very simple. While practicing his hands, it can also help him understand the importance of kinetic energy transmission, paving the way for future water energy machines.
Saxon looked at the drawing carefully, and asked without moving. Aslan also explained it to her very seriously. After finally understanding its meaning, he carefully put it away.
"I promise not to disappoint the lord! It's just that there are some things in it that cannot be completed in our carpentry workshop. We may need the help of the other two workshops."
"I will give orders to the two workshops and let them cooperate with you. This windmill mill is beneficial to the country and the people, so it must not be delayed."
Aslan said earnestly.
Saxony is more firm and serious in his pledge.
Aslan left satisfied. Before leaving, he went to the blacksmith's shop, just in time to see that the first ring knife had been put into production, with a satisfied smile on his face.
At the same time, he also explained the task of the windmill mill.
