When it comes to civil use, spinning machines are nothing, looms are called more used, which weaver does not have one or two looms at home.

However, at this time, the loom was also quite backward, basically relying on manpower, and the efficiency was very low.

Yang Cong originally had the term "flying shuttle loom" in his mind, but he was not a weaver, and he had never seen weaving in his previous life, so he really didn't understand what "flying shuttle loom" was before.

At this time, after he saw a few weavers' children weaving, he suddenly remembered that this "flying shuttle loom" was actually just like that, but no one thought of improving the shuttle.

He walked up to the loom, pointed to the shuttle that was sitting beside it, and asked, "Didn't you think of using a steam engine to control this shuttle?" ”

When he asked this, all the weavers' children were dumbfounded.

The shuttle has to shuttle back and forth from the middle of the cloth, and it is controlled by a steam engine, how to control it?

Could it be that the steam engine is not in the middle?

Yang Cong picked up the shuttle and looked at it carefully, then glued the yarn on it and guided: "You see, the yarn in the middle of the shuttle is the key to controlling the shuttle with a steam engine, we can completely straighten the thread, and then wrap it around a relatively large wheel, and then use the steam engine to control the wheel, and then place the valve that controls the steam engine at the foot, step on a switch, the steam engine connecting rod stretches out, the wheel rotates, the shuttle passes from this side of the cloth to that side, and then steps on another switch, the steam engine connecting rod is retracted, and the wheel is reversed, The shuttle is worn from the cloth to this side, and so on, isn't this shuttle extremely fast? ”

This guy, if that's the case, the shuttle can't fly yet!

The eyes of the weavers' children looking at Yang Cong couldn't help but be full of reverence, this method is really not something that ordinary people can come up with.

This is not over, Yang Cong pointed to the tight cloth sieve and said: "And this sieve, every time you have to hold it with both hands, hit it back and forth a few times, this can also be controlled by the steam engine, also put the switch under your feet, and hit it back and forth when you step on it, so it will be more convenient, and the impact of the steam engine is completely consistent, and the woven cloth will definitely be more even, don't you say?" ”

Now, a group of weavers are even more admired, this Lord Yang has improved a loom a lot in a few words, if he adds two steam engines according to his statement, the efficiency of weaving does not know how many times to increase, and people will not be tired, because just sit there and step on the valve switch, no need to make any effort at all.

You know, in the past, weaving cloth required people to bend over and lie there, and their hands and feet kept straining, even if they were powerful weavers, they would be tired and have back pain and hand cramps when weaving for several hours in a row.

This is different, the part of the output is all done by the steam engine, people only need to sit there and lightly step on a few feet, even if it is an ordinary weaver, it is estimated that it will not be tired to sit there and weave cloth for a day.

I didn't expect it to be over.

Yang Cong then encouraged: "The invention and creation of this machinery is endless, you don't think that the loom will be over after such a change, in fact, as long as you can study hard, you can completely invent a loom that does not need to be operated by people!" ”

And what's going on?

When the children of the weavers heard this, they were all dumbfounded, they didn't need to be operated, how could this loom weave?

Yang Cong explained in detail: "You should be quite clear that weaving is just a few movements, constantly repeating back and forth, if, each action is controlled by a steam engine, and their valves and connecting rods are connected together, and the connecting rod of this action controls the valve of the next action, so that as long as the steam is turned on, won't the loom move by itself?" ”

That's right, the linkage control valve, this can be used!

When the weaver disciples heard this, their eyes lit up, at this time, their minds didn't think about the problem of silver, they just wanted to make this kind of loom that didn't need to be controlled by people, if they could "invent" such a powerful loom, it would be awesome.

However, when they didn't think about the problem of silver, Yang Cong began to think about the problem of silver, after all, this reward is the key to stimulating all disciples to study hard, if Zhao Qi just "invented" the embryo pulling machine and obtained a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and others were not rewarded, then the enthusiasm of these disciples is estimated to cool down soon.

He thought for a while, and then encouraged: "I won't give out rewards this time, but you don't have to be discouraged, if you can make a spinning machine that spins more than a dozen yarns at the same time, I will reward each of you with a thousand taels, if you can make an automatic loom that does not need to be controlled by people, I will reward each of you with 10,000 taels, and I will also help you set up a workshop, and in the future, you will make spinning machines and looms to sell, and you will have dividends for each one sold!" ”

This guy is amazing, as long as he makes spinning machines and looms, each of them will be rewarded with 11,000 taels, and in the future, he can also make money by selling spinning machines and looms, and the income is even more incalculable.

All the weavers' children were flushed with excitement, staring at the spinning machine and the loom, their eyes glowing green, as if they were eager to install the steam engine immediately, toss it well, and make the multi-strand spinning machine and automatic loom described by Yang Cong, you know, it is thousands of taels of silver!

Yang Cong's promise to the children of the weaver soon spread throughout the entire School of Physics, and all the disciples were even more stimulated, and everyone involved had a share, and it was not less than ten thousand taels, so don't you toss desperately!

With their desperation, all kinds of machines sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

This guy is very insightful, and some machines have never even been seen by Yang Cong.

For example, a thing "invented" by several peasant children startled Yang Cong.

On this day, it was also early in the morning, Wang Xuan hurriedly ran over to find Yang Cong, saying that his disciples had invented something new, and his expression was quite excited, as if it was something good.

Yang Cong was naturally full of interest and accompanied him to the "acceptance".

Unexpectedly, this time Wang Xuan did not take Yang Cong to the Mechanical School, nor did he take Yang Cong to the Hardware School, but directly took him to the west of Yuyuan Pond by the big river.

This Yuyuan Pond is connected to the Huai River water system, and there are rivers at both ends, Yang Cong knows this, he just didn't expect that Wang Xuan would bring him to the river.

The river is full of farmland, and it is no longer the territory of their physics school.

At this time, a few peasant children were excitedly tinkering with a big guy by the pergola by the river.

This big guy, how to describe it, is a bit similar to the big waterwheel that stands by the river, and a little similar to the kind of small waterwheel that you step on with your feet, in short, it is a waterwheel with a lot of square wooden barrels one foot square.

When the children of the farmers saw that Wang Xuan led Yang Cong over, they immediately opened the valve of the steam engine next to the waterwheel as if offering treasures, this guy, the huge waterwheel suddenly began to operate, and buckets of river water were constantly lifted up and poured into the canal above, and the water level of the canal suddenly rose and continued to flow into the distance.

This thing, good!

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but praise it, you know, farmland and water conservancy are the top priority at this time, with this thing, I don't know how much arable land to gain, this is definitely a very practical and good thing.

These guys have finally "invented" something really practical.

Before he could raise the reward, a group of peasant children pushed out a huge creature from the shed next to the watermill and sold it as if they were offering treasures.

Nima, what kind of monster is this!

This thing turned out to be a huge flatbed, and this flatbed was not a square one, but it was not empty, but full of stoves, kettles, and copper pipes, and there were not only wheels underneath, but also a row of iron plows.

This guy, as soon as the steam engine started, the monster slowly moved forward, and everywhere it passed, the ground was turned up a foot high!

This "invention" is really quite creative, but it seems a bit too wasteful to plough the field, right?
