For five months after the success of the DIY Isabella spinning machine on December 1, 1492, Ferdinand did not seem to have made any further inventions.

Every day seems to be eating, sleeping, praying, celebrating festivals, attending events, giving orders, and the old situation of not sleeping well for a whole month is over, and the tension and busyness of making flintlock pistols are a thing of the past.

……

Are you kidding?!

Ferdinand's time is short! On September 25, 1493, he was about to go to the New World with the enlarged fleet, how dare he waste five months!

On the contrary, in the past 5 months, Ferdinand can be said to have detonated the tech tree, and the explosion has not stopped.

The first and second prototypes of the Isabella spinning machine had just been made, and in addition to the mass production by the craftsmen who were called, a large number of engineers and craftsmen were improving it. After 5 months of hard work and Ferdinand's occasional reminders, it was finally upgraded to the ultimate form in history - 80 spindles! Mass production is already underway preliminarily. 40 units were built for the original version and three units for the full version.

Of course, it is not enough to only improve, and Ferdinand has been forgetting to sleep and eat for the past five months. Plain water, wine, cheese, roast meat, and ham were all he ate, and only two meals a day, sometimes even one a day, did not follow any oriental customs? Afternoon tea? What do you think? With that kung fu, it's better to go DIY!

We can take a look at the average sleep time record to see what kind of life he has lived in the past five months-

December 1 to December 10, 6 hours.

December 11 to December 20, 8 hours.

December 21 to December 30, 7 hours.

December 31 to January 9, 4 hours.

From January 10 to January 19, 4 hours.

20 January to 29 January, 2 hours.

January 30, sleepless night.

……

The average sleep duration is about 4 hours. There were 11 sleepless nights.

And tonight, May 1st, is another sleepless night.

The fruits of hard work are also enormous. By the end of March, Ferdinand had made a reel spinning machine for Arkwright's pirated Hayes, almost exactly like the drawings and photographs in his memory. It is powered by water power, does not have to be operated by people, and the spun yarn is tough and strong, which solves the technical problem of producing pure cotton cloth.

After another month of tossing, even when meeting Columbus, Ferdinand had to struggle in the middle of the night, finally in the early morning of April 30, with the help of many craftsmen and under their admiring eyes, made a water-powered loom and tested successfully. On the basis of the already used shuttle (which at this time was only used in the workshops organized by the royal family, and was not promoted), the weaving efficiency was further increased by a factor of forty.

And tonight these three sailing ships are going to transport the first batch and even prototypes of the five great inventions of the flying shuttle loom, the Isabella spinning machine, the flintlock musket, the reel spinning machine, and the hydraulic loom to the port of Bosa in Sardinia. On one of the ships, a special cargo was also transported - King Ferdinand II of Aragon.

Ferdinand didn't have the heart to do anything about private interviews, he had already been angry with Isaac Abravanel, now was the critical juncture, the moment to make history, he couldn't help himself willful, and besides, he didn't have the energy to be willful, so he would have gone to sleep when he had time.

Of the three ships, Ferdinand's was 70 feet long, 20 feet wide, 9 feet draft, and had a displacement of 150 tons. Seven 4-pounder guns were loaded on each side of the ship, and two 2-pounder guns were mounted at the bow and stern gun emplacements. It has a resounding name called "Pelican".

That's right, this is the world's first small Galen, which Ferdinand ordered to be built and built for the longest time, was launched in Valencia, and construction of the second was only started last month for the sake of secrecy. The ship would be Ferdinand's ship, and under Ferdinand's own supervision, it was almost entirely based on the drawings and designs of the original ship.

On his second voyage to the New World, he was the only one who did not see the Galen fleet.

The ship's vitality was quite tenacious, and Ferdinand basically didn't have to worry too much about his own life or anything on it.

Isn't it too shabby for the king's ship to use such a small boat? But Ferdinand was a pragmatic man, and now there were no pirates in the Atlantic, and even if there were, he would only be killed in seconds in front of the large fleet. The king himself went to the New World, and he dared to play like this, and if it weren't for the fact that Isabella had it in the country, he wouldn't have done it easily, so what about a smaller ship?

Drake can use it as a flagship to sail around the world, and Ferdinand can naturally use it as a flagship to go to the New World. Moreover, in the case of a small boat, it is not easy to see the importance of its unique design.

Three ships quietly arrived in Bosa, where the equipment was carefully transferred to the surface, where it was brought back for operation and production by soldiers and assembled craftsmen.

Oristano is close to the mouth of the Tiersso River, suitable for the use of hydro-spinning machines and hydro-looms, as for the flow or something, it is better than nothing, and it is very hidden.

Cement has already built a factory building, which is not yet a factory, just a workshop, where craftsmen and workers work intensively, and he will withdraw from the modern factory system in a few days.

Not all of the equipment came to the island, half of it continued to produce in Barcelona and was ready to build a cotton textile factory on a large scale.

After unloading, the newly summoned craftsmen looked at the king from afar, and their eyes had become dull.

Is it human?

Is it really the work of the king, as a previous colleague said?

No wonder I had to move my family here myself!

"It's good for everyone, don't blame me!" Galen's ship, the super robber who kidnapped a large number of women and children yawned.

In the wee hours of the morning, Ferdinand returned to the palace and fell asleep, only to wake up two days later.

Ferdinand, who woke up, threw himself into the development of the mule machine.

As a hobby of studying the first industrial revolution in depth, he searched for the structure and drawings of the mule machine, which are now deeply engraved in his mind.

In May, the average sleep time was 2.5 hours, and there were 10 sleepless nights.

On June 1st, Ferdinand cheered as if he were celebrating the last Children's Day of his life.

On the basis of the water-powered spinning machine, that is, the reel spinning machine, the mule machine was completed, of course, the scene was not in the palace, but by the river.

The results of the field test are very good, and the efficiency has been improved several times.

Now he is three hundred years ahead of his time, in the field of textile machinery.

The main invention of the first industrial revolution in the field of cotton textiles, he has completely broken through!

The tech tree exploded, literally going to explode.

The revolution in the field of light industry in Spain is not far off.
