Zhang Guoan's cotton spinning production can now only follow the path of using water power as the driving force. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The dam in the Badaohe area has raised the water level by more than two meters, which has changed the characteristics of its original seasonal stream, and basically realized that the farmland on both sides of the river can be easily irrigated by artesian water, which is why Zhang Guoan dared to open up the land on a large scale again.

Now there are higher requirements for this dam, which needs to provide a more stable driving force for hydrospinning and hydrospinning.

In this way, it needs to be raised again...... Zhang Guoan calculated, this water head must be at least three meters and five meters high!

This project is not small, but it is not very difficult.

Zhang Guoan completely handed over the arrangements for the voyage to India to Captain Cai Erlang, asked him to organize manpower and cargo, and ordered the half-grown son Xiaoer and Wang Zheng to bring 20 fire caps and 30 arquebusiers, and 15 gunners to accompany the ship.

Zhang Guoan has observed that when these two half-grown children were training at sea, they performed very well, and they may be born with people who can adapt to life at sea.

The rest of the team is more or less like this, and they are better suited than the others.

Zhang Guoan specially looked for the two of them.

Zhang Guoan said: "When you go to any anchorage place, everyone must write a diary, which must be accurate and not exaggerated...... Two people can't be the same! ”

The two and a half eldest sons were stunned for a moment, and Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Zhang's family, I will not let him copy my ......"

Wang Zheng has always thought that in addition to being inferior to Yang Youxing, he has the best level of writing situation reports.

"Phew! How could I copy you?! Last time, Master Zhang's family also gave me a good evaluation, and you are a good ......."

Zhang Guoan ignored the quarrel between the two of them, and said: "You can only defend yourself, and you can't show off your force in front of others!" If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone; If anyone sins against me. I will run away! ”

Xiao Er's eyes were shining, and he said, "What if you see bad people doing evil? ”

“……”

Wang Zheng said disapprerovingly: "If you don't offend me, what does it matter to me?" ”

Zhang Guoan thought for a while and said: "As long as there are things that may cause us harm, don't care...... It's all about training guards who are perfectly suited to naval warfare! ”

The two of them immediately replied cleanly, "Yes, master!" ”

Zhang Guoan then ordered to set off, with Wang Zheng as the captain. Xiao Er is the deputy; As long as he returns, Xiao Er will be the captain and Wang Zheng will be the deputy.

In fact, these twenty and a half children, all of them have been leaders, have organized other people's actions, and their ability is not bad.

In this way, Zhang Guoan can organize his own cotton spinning business with confidence.

If the purpose of his organization of the maritime trade in India was to train a group of team members who had participated in the voyage, then he needed to train a group of skilled industrial workers through the establishment of a water-powered cotton mill......

At first he jumped over the Jenny machine. Ready to load the reel spinning machine.

It is powered by water power, does not have to be operated by people, and the spun cotton yarn is tough and strong, which solves the technical problem of producing pure cotton cloth.

However, the water-powered spinning machine is very large, and it must be built with a tall factory, and it must be built next to the river, and there are a large number of workers to operate it intensively.

Zhang Guoan felt that there was no need to spend too much on the factory, so he finally chose a mule machine.

The mule machine absorbs the advantages of the roller drafting of the hydrospinning machine on the basis of the jenny machine roller drafting. and improve it.

Therefore, the cotton yarn spun by it has both the advantages of the fine yarn of the Jenny spinning machine and the yarn firmness of the hydraulic spinning machine. It seems that mules have the same advantages as horses and donkeys, so they are named mule machines.

It's just that its structure is a bit more complicated and prone to failure.

But this is easy to overcome......

Zhang Guoan found a carpenter and a blacksmith and gave them different three-dimensional paper, and asked them to process and make it separately.

He thanked his former friends for leaving him with a unified unit of measurement and some more professional measuring instruments.

Zhang Guoan can now proudly say that even if it is a separate equipment. It's no problem to be accurate to half a millimeter.

It is more convenient for carpenters to use woodworking machines to process the parts needed on the drawings, while blacksmiths are more troublesome in borrowing files and chisels to make corrections.

Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei is now using a file to carefully polish a roller draft, which is a feeding drafting mechanism driven by bronze gears, which is one of the key parts of the whole mule machine.

So Zhang Guoan is strict with it.

Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei said to Zhang Guoan: "Master Zhang's family, this tool of Yin Di Anguo is very useful. If it is used badly, how can I get it again? ”

Zhang Guoan is quite satisfied with his performance in the last attempted pirate attack, this is the person who really regards this place as his home, and he is a person who can walk with him, so tilting more towards him in terms of technology can allow him to use better tools.

Zhang Guoan replied: "There is no way to do this...... But we can process medium carbon steel tools ourselves, and it is still relatively easy to deal with that so-called good iron. ”

Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei's eyes widened and said, "If there is really a medium-carbon steel like V-shaped spring steel...... Why don't you make a sword and sell it? ”

Zhang Guoan said in his heart, this is coming again, so he stared at the cold weapon and did not forget it......

Zhang Guoan said: "If this cotton yarn machine can be successfully trial-produced, it will be more valuable than 10,000 treasure knives...... can let everyone in the Great Song Dynasty have cotton clothes to wear, do you say it is more profitable? ”

Everybody has a padded coat to wear!

In this time and space, although the Great Song Dynasty is already the richest country in the world, there are still poor people in paper clothes, and they even don't care about writing in poems.

Lu You wrote in "Rain and Cold Play": "Fortunately, there is quinoa to cook porridge, and he is ashamed to make a shirt." ”

This paper shirt is a paper coat, Lu You said that it is good to have porridge to drink, and he doesn't feel ashamed to wear paper clothes.

Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei stopped the file in his hand, opened his eyes wide, looked at Zhang Guoan and said seriously:

"The potato flour and cornmeal are the world's first-class delicacies, and they produce a lot of good land, and the people of the world can eat them; There are countless big whales in the sea, and Master Zhang's family can easily take them, but there are countless living people; Now, if this cotton yarn machine can make everyone in the world have cotton clothes to wear...... Master Zhang, did you fall from the sky and use the power of the gods to help me wait?! ”

Zhang Guoan smiled and said, "I didn't fall from the sky, but I came from Yindi Anguo; I don't have the ability to be a god, but I know a little science...... Circle; I can't talk about whether I am helping Da Song or Da Song helping me.

I only know that my wife and I can't live a good life alone, at least let the people around us live a better life, and how much power comes with great responsibility...... It's as simple as that. ”

I don't know if the blacksmith Hu Zhenbei understands or doesn't understand, he polished the roller draft for a while, measured it with a micrometer, and saw that it was still a little worse, and then carefully filed.

Precision casting, chiseling, filing, they are processed little by little key components. (To be continued.) )
