Chapter 260: Spring, Shuttle Loom
Lin Chong couldn't help but think: Could it be that Wu Yong wanted to rob the Birth Gang certificate to show himself, and then brought the Zhuang guests on Chaogai Village to Liangshan to join the gang?
or saw that the Liangshan army rose like a comet in just over half a year, thinking that it was easy to rebel;
Since I, Lin Chong, don't take you to play, you can start a new stove by yourself, and learn from me to rebel and do a big job? And then kill people and set fires to be recruited?
It seems that this Zhiduoxing is really unwilling to be lonely, unwilling to be mediocre, and wants to do great things.
Lin Chong shook his head with a smile, he didn't bother to guess Wu Yong's careful thoughts, he glanced at Yang Zhi, who was already angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, now that you know the ins and outs of this matter, what do you think I should do?" ”
"Of course it'......"
Yang Zhi blurted out, but he took it back halfway through the conversation, and thought for a while before saying, "I listen to my brother." ”
Lin Chong nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll talk about it." First, now our Liangshan Army is talking with the imperial court about 'Zhao'an'.
Moreover, our Liang Shanjun has never done this kind of thing of stealing chickens and dogs, but this incident happened in Huangnigang, more than 60 miles outside Liangshanbo, and others still think that we Liangshanjun did it.
So what I mean is, keep an eye on what this is going on.
If the imperial court is too stupid and suspects us, it will sell a clue to the governor of Jeju to clear our suspicions; If not, forget it.
As for Chao Gai and the others, don't bother with him, but keep an eye on them, I want to see what they want to do? ”
Yang Zhi listened, although he felt a little unhappy that he just let these seven people go, but since it was Lin Chong's decision, he didn't say anything anymore.
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
However, Shen Yang is a clever person, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "This Chao Gai is a strange person, he doesn't do a good private business, but he wants to do this kind of headless thing."
Not to mention that with our Liang Shanjun providing him with supplies, it is not too easy to make money......"
Lin Chong smiled, and also shook his head, saying in his heart that this Shen Yang is quite clever. However, Lin Chong didn't plan to pay too much attention to the matter of Chao Gai, after all, everyone has their own fate.
Chao Gai is indeed a heroic man with high righteousness, but this person's knowledge and ability are all there, and it is really useless to earn Liang Shanjun, it is better to let him continue to be a private businessman.
If this product must be something that he is not good at, Lin Chong has no need to meddle in it.
At this moment, I heard a joyful voice behind me: "Lord, come and see, this time I finally reached the standard!" ”
Lin Chong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, he stood up as soon as he could, arched his hand at a few people, and flew into the heavily guarded engineering bureau, but Yang Zhi looked at Yang Zhi a little confused.
"Let's go, Brother Yang, I'll take you to the place where you live."
Yang Zhi hurriedly followed, and said with some curiosity: "Senior Brother Lu, what is my brother doing?" ”
Lu Da smiled heartily and said, "Brother Yang, I don't know, the place we stayed just now is the most secret place of the Liang Mountain Army, called the Engineering Bureau, which is a place that specializes in the study of various machinery and equipment.
If nothing else, let's just say that the third-generation sword of our Liangshan Army is not much worse than the ancestral sword of the Yang family. However, this time, the military master has nothing to do with the war......"
Lin Chong's current research and development is actually springs, but the main purpose of the current research and development of springs is to make looms.
Because of the water-powered silk reeling machine and water-powered spinning machine, Liang Shanjun increased the efficiency of silk reeling and spinning by about ten times, and the efficiency of hand-weaving at this time could not keep up.
So Lin Chong thought of improving the loom, but the kind of shuttleless loom in modern industry, even if Lin Chong's ability is high, it is impossible to make it in this era.
Therefore, Lin Chong's goal is to make a new type of shuttle loom.
Since the invention of the loom, the shuttle carrying the weft yarn has been thrown from one hand to the other by hand for thousands of years, so that the weft yarn shuttles back and forth and interweaves with the warp yarn before finally weaving into cloth.
It is conceivable that such a non-stop back and forth shuttle, both hands have to stop other work when throwing the shuttle, this weaving method will be time-consuming and laborious.
And there is another problem, because if you want the shuttle to pass through the two rows of warp yarns, you can't throw it far, so you can't weave too wide cloth.
The shuttle loom is actually a shuttle with a small wheel installed in the chute, and the two ends of the chute are equipped with springs, so that the shuttle can be used to make the shuttle travel back and forth in the warp yarn at a very fast speed with the help of the power of the spring.
In this way, the weaver only needs one hand to make the shuttle quickly pass through the warp yarn, and the other hand can continue to work, which not only greatly improves the weaving efficiency, but also can weave much wider cloth than before.
Lin Chong estimated that if the shuttle loom can be developed, the weaving efficiency can be increased by at least eight times!
However, although designing the shuttle and experimenting with it is not difficult for Lin Chong.
But to produce qualified springs, this seemingly simple thing is actually a huge problem!
For no other reason, a spring doesn't mean that you just make a wire and wrap it around a stick to make it a spring.
In order to make qualified springs, the first thing to do is to pass the steel, which must be recorded more than a dozen, or even hundreds of tests to make the spring steel that meets the requirements.
This alone took three or four months intermittently.
Then the spring steel bar was drawn into a steel wire, which was a big problem under the existing conditions of the Liangshan Army, but fortunately, not long after the hydraulic wire reeling machine came out, the spring steel wire was finally made out by Ye Meng.
In the past few days, Lin Chong has been working with Ye Meng and Li Ming to overcome the last problem, and with the existing tools, the spring steel wire is made into a spring.
This also has to go through heating, annealing, rolling, de-heating stress annealing, chamfering, strong pressure, medium temperature tempering, shaping and other processes, so that the processed spring can always maintain elasticity, not to say that it will lose elasticity after hundreds of times.
Then it is a test again and again, using the soil method to press the processed spring chute and stretch it a thousand times, if the spring can still maintain the shape and elasticity unchanged, it is qualified.
It's a pity that for a few days, none of the springs produced are up to standard, and Lin Chong has been soaking in the engineering bureau for several days, thinking hard about how to improve the production process under the existing conditions.
At this time, hearing that Ye Meng sent people to say that the two springs had finally reached the standard, how could Lin Chong not be overjoyed?
When Lin Chong came to the production workshop quickly, the people in the entire workshop were also flushed with excitement and laughed loudly.
"Look, Master, we have measured it a thousand times, and the elasticity has not weakened at all, and the shape has not been deformed, and now these two are still being tested."
"Okay, it's hard to be in charge!"
Lin Chong smiled and took the two springs in Ye Meng's hand, measured them with his own hands, and saw that they had not changed at all.
Moreover, the elasticity of these two springs is stronger than the previous ones, and it seems that they have improved the process to achieve results.
"Okay, let's load them up on the shuttle and get someone to try our new loom!"
