Fortunately, the place where the soap factory was built was full of warehouses near the river, and after the appropriate overflow price, the area of the factory was more than tripled, and the original board warehouse became a factory, and the old wharf trestle was repaired at the same time as the installation of new water wheels to facilitate shipments.

While the factory was renovating and expanding to increase production, Shi Yiwen did not sit idle, and for him, there was one more important thing.

Once again, I was in the library of the space.

Staring at the books on the shelves, Shi Yiwen looked a little dazed, although he said "ten soaps", but in fact, whether it was soap or mosquito coils, they were all "inventions" by chance, and now let him take the initiative to "invent", but he was a little confused for a while.

"What should I invent?"

In his own words, Shi Yiwen walked and looked for inspiration in the books on the shelves.

Suddenly, a book came into his sight, staring at the somewhat old book, Shi Yiwen's eyes lit up "The History of the British Industrial Revolution", and he said to himself.

"That's right, this promise can also be borrowed!"

Early the next morning.

After the morning exercise along the Qinhuai River as usual, Shi Yiwen had just had breakfast, and Wu Cai came to the door.

"You're here early, what's the hurry?"

Standing up, Shi Yiwen greeted him with a smile, Wu Cai's current identity at home is the newly invited gentleman.

"I've been thinking about the young master's words for the past few days!"

Wu Cai waved his hand and said.

"But I still can't figure out how you managed to make ten soaps."

Kou Yun, who entered the house with tea, looked twice, she didn't like Wu Cai a little, so she said casually.

"That is, how can the young master's mind be guessed by ordinary people!"

Knowing that a girl like Kou Yun is a girl like Kou Yun, Wu Cai, who is a person in the main family's room, laughed and said.

"What Miss Yun said is, but even if you can't guess it, you always have to figure it out, so that you can be worthy of the monthly payment paid by the young master."

Smiling slightly, Shi Yiwen said to Kou Yun.

"Xiao Yun, you go down first."

"Yes, young master."

After Kou Yun left, Shi Yiwen smiled at Wu Cai.

"The family has no rules, which makes you laugh."

For Shi Yiwen, whether it is Xiao Lian or Sister Kou Yun, since they are in this family, they are family members, but his explanation made Wu Cai have some misunderstandings.

"The owner is gracious."

Wu Cai, who thought he had guessed correctly, immediately diverted the topic and said.

"Oh, my host, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I still can't figure it out! What the hell do you do? ”

As soon as he asked, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"Actually, it's easy!"

Speaking kung fu, Shi Yiwen said to Wu Cai.

"However, if you want to use this method, you have to do something for me first."

"What's the matter?"

Facing Wu Cai's inquiry, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"Build something!"

As he spoke, Shi Yiwen took out a few drawings drawn in the space last night and put them in front of Wu Cai.

"What is this?"

Looking at Wu Cai, who was full of doubts, Shi Yiwen pretended to smile mysteriously.

"Anything that can top a hundred soap factories!"

After that, Shi Yiwen asked.

"Do you know who the best craftsmen in Nanjing are? He is proficient in wood, iron, bronze and so on. ”

Although in the process of renovating the soap factory, he met a few craftsmen, just like Zhao Laosi, who was interested in bearings, but his craftsmanship was very ordinary, and now Shi Yiwen wants to build this thing, although there is no technical difficulty, but he still hopes to find a good craftsman to make it.

"Good craftsman, well......"

After being stunned, Wu Cai said with a smile.

"The owner, you are looking for the right place, Lao Wu where I live, the craftsmen who lived in the past, are all ancestral crafts, if you say good, this best craftsman can't say why, if you say good, there are not a thousand in this Nanjing city, there must be eight hundred, the son wants to build this? Let's go to the Liang family's workshop, the old Liang Tou's craftsmanship is good. ”

Looking at the things on the drawings again, Wu Cai wondered.

"It's just such a gadget, it can top a hundred soap factories?"

However, Wu Cai's doubts, the moment Liang Peng picked up the drawings in the Liang family's workshop, not only did not decrease in the slightest, but became stronger.

"Good stuff!"

Staring at the drawings in his hand, Liang Peng looked up at the rich boy in front of him and asked tentatively.

"Childe, this is a shuttle, right?"

"Hmm!"

With his eyes slightly open, Shi Yiwen looked at the blind Liang Peng in front of him, and he could recognize it.

The drawing is indeed a shuttle, but it is not an ordinary shuttle, but a "shuttle" invented by the British after more than a hundred years in history, the shuttle is actually a shuttle installed in the chute with a small wheel, and the two ends of the chute are equipped with springs, so that the shuttle can travel back and forth extremely quickly. The invention of the shuttle greatly increased the production of cloth.

A book of "History of the British Industrial Revolution" in the fifties brought inspiration to Shi Yiwen is that the shuttle can increase the output of the loom exponentially, maybe he doesn't know much about the shuttle, but in the textile machinery books found in the library, it clearly describes its structure and principle, and it is because of this that he drew the drawings of the shuttle overnight.

Could it be that Liang Peng in front of him can see its principle at a glance? In addition to being surprised, Shi Yiwen was even a little ecstatic in his heart, if he could see the principle of the shuttle at a glance, such a talent would definitely have to be recruited.

"Wonderful...... It's wonderful! ”

Liang Peng stared at the drawings and couldn't stop admiring. Just when Shi Yiwen was surprised in his heart, he raised his head sharply and said.

"Childe, what kind of pen is used to draw the line on this paper, such a delicate line drawing, the small one is the first time I have seen it! That's wonderful! ”

Yes!

Wrong!

looked at him in surprise, and Shi Yiwen, who was happy in his heart, said casually.

"Pencil."

"What kind of pen is a pencil?"

Compared with the "flying shuttle" on paper, Liang Peng cares more about the pencil, after all, drawing lines with charcoal is not only thick, but also easy to break. For him as a craftsman, this pencil that can draw delicate and thin lines is what he values the most.

"It's ......"

Seeing that Liang Peng seemed to be more interested in pencils, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"If you can make this shuttle, why not give you some pencils when the time comes?"

"Seriously!"

Liang Peng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise. He had never seen a pen that could draw lines so thin and straight.

"This is still fake, how about it, can it be made?"

Hearing Shi Yiwen's rhetorical question, Liang Peng looked at the drawings carefully for a while, and then raised his head and said.

"This shuttle looks different from ordinary shuttles, but a lot of things are made, and it is also extremely troublesome, so I made things for Childe, but there are some things, and the small ones don't know what to use. For example......"

Seeing Liang Peng's finger spring, Shi Yiwen knew that he was touching a master, and he could see at a glance that the most critical and complex part of the shuttle was this spring.

"It's a spring, it's going to be made of elastic steel, how about it, what's the difficulty?"

Shaking his head, Liang Peng replied directly.

"What's so hard about that, well, in this way, if it's just made of steel, the price will definitely be higher."

"Then in your estimation that it is made of stainless steel, how much will such a shuttle cost?"

After a while in his heart, Liang Peng replied.

"I'm afraid it will cost fifty yuan, and this one can top four or five ordinary shuttles."

Hearing him say this, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"Just do it, and give you a lot of money."

The cost is four or five times higher, but what if the efficiency can be increased by four or five times?
