The dyeing factory built by Yang Yuanzhao will not be exactly the same as the old-style dyeing workshop, except for these dyeing pools similar to ordinary printing and dyeing workshops, there are more than a dozen different machines, which are collected from all aspects, and the American and German dyeing machines use steam engines as power, which can print and dye cloth in all directions and under various circumstances.

Among them, after the modification of engineers and Yang Yuanzhao, after entering this era, Yang Yuanzhao's understanding of machinery is more in-depth, his modification, mainly on the power and steam, with the help of steam printing and ironing, is a new method proposed by Yang Yuanzhao, Germany and the United States, but also stay in the power movement and raise the temperature, Yang Yuanzhao directly went further, mixed with steam and dye, to increase the temperature, in such a steam dyes, to avoid the imbalance after the cloth is wet, On top of some high-end cotton fabrics, it is the best method.

These printing and dyeing methods, a certain kind of Cheng dù above, higher than this era, steam printing and dyeing methods, mostly in the real room, more applications, real application to printing and dyeing, but also need a large number of special machine qì appeared, Yang Yuanzhao for this era, is an excellent machine qì expert, especially for the field of steam engines and engines, along with this period of time, a series of improvements for steam engines, etc., gradually formed based on their own ideas, under the support of this concept, For the improvement of the machine, a 500 horsepower steam engine, in addition to providing enough power for this, on the other hand, also provides a large amount of steam, in a special cavity, under the fusion of steam and dye, forming a relatively stable structure, in an acidic environment, or in an alkaline environment, for dyeing cloth.

Acid and alkaline environment, which is very critical for dyeing, dyeing agents, most of them are insoluble in water, after all, the dyes dissolved in water will fade, even if there is a curing agent fixed word, but in the light and daily use, the curing agent will gradually lose its effect, so the dye dyed out of the cloth, at first will be very good, and then it will gradually fade.

Materials that are insoluble in water will be soluble in other liquids, such as gasoline, but most of all, they are soluble in acidic or alkaline liquids, these two substances can almost make most of the dyes into it, and the uniformity of the dye is a large extent, it is a matter of how much dye is piled up in one place, and only when it is completely dissolved in a certain liquid, it will be dyed more uniformly.

As long as you have a certain understanding of chemistry, you know this method, but it can not be implemented, for no other reason, in general, particularly strong acidity and alkalinity, for the cloth has considerable damage, strong oxidant of the strong acid and alkaline strong alkali, it is easy to corrode the cloth, dyeing can not be, but the consumption of raw materials, which restricts the effect of dyeing cloth.

Sometimes, knowing that in a fairly high acidic or alkaline environment, the printing and dyeing effect of the cloth can be better, because acidity or alkaline, a kind of damage to the cloth itself, this printing and dyeing can not be continued, only other methods can be used, which is one of the biggest difficulties in dyeing.

The most important thing is that once the dyeing is completed, the environment can be removed immediately, a large amount of water vapor will make the environment quickly diluted, and then similar to the high-temperature perm dyeing process, after the process of dyeing the cloth is completed, the dyeing effect will be very good.

Among them, the effect and ratio of the mixture, which needs to go through countless times of real yàn, slowly determine the result, in this era, there is no good control of later computers, so before the determination of the machine, in the real yàn room, about similar real yàn, has been carried out hundreds of times, even now, there are people who continue to study in this field. The performance of the machine is almost endless, such as good control, less time dyeing, faster efficiency, you know, most of the current steam dyeing is in an acidic and alkaline environment, reducing the dyeing time, not only improving the dyeing efficiency, but also reducing the damage to the cloth, no matter how strong acid and strong alkali, the time is short, and it is a steam state, which will reduce the damage to the cloth, but this time can be shortened a little, for the cloth, the damage will be reduced a lot.

The dyeing pool and the machine are two different plants, separated by a thick wall, and even in the future, after the printing and dyeing factory is put into operation, it will be divided into two systems, the bulk ones, the more common colors, or the dyeing pool, at most use the machine qì to process some to increase the effect of dyeing, the really high-end, the value is relatively high, and the relatively large ones still rely on steam printing and dyeing.

About the recruitment of personnel for printing and dyeing factories, has begun, in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and many other provinces, large and small dyeing workshops, to the printing and dyeing factory to provide enough manpower, different from three acids and two alkalis, what is needed is based on modern chemistry, although the dye uses chemical synthesis, but in a sense, it is still an ancient industry, China has a history of printing and dyeing, can be traced back to thousands of years ago, even if it is mixed dyeing, it can also be seen in ancient books.

Ordinary personnel, is the focus of recruitment, this printing and dyeing factory will at least use more than 500 people, far larger than dozens of people's workshops, the eight major Jin merchant channels, but also invited some masters, of course, will use their experience, but more, or pay attention to science, with fixed standards and institutionalized standardization, reduce the loss of arbitrariness, there may be a lot less boutique and the best, but it represents the efficiency of industrialization.

Many antiques and porcelain that appeared in later generations, and even the scientific and technological level of later generations cannot be reproduced, for many reasons, but some fine porcelain, a certain process, is produced by accident, and it is also a fundamental direction, spending a lot of time to find the accident, and the waste generated is far less good than a large number of good products.

After the printing and dyeing pool is completed, some of the cotton cloths stored in the zài warehouse can be printed and dyed, and these are the better quality cotton cloths left by Yang Yuanzhao.

The eight Jin merchants finally understood that the cloth left by Yang Yuanzhao was used for, and how much profit the printing and dyeing factory was, they were very clear, Shanxi, has never been the main area of the cotton textile industry, and even printing and dyeing is not the most technologically developed, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are extremely developed in this regard, and even some counties take printing and dyeing as the main livelihood, and large-scale printing and dyeing workshops are all over the county.

Before persuading them, Yang Yuanzhao took out the clothes based on later generations, bright colors, and directly persuaded them, after knowing Yang Yuanzhao's purpose, of course, it was a strong support, everyone knows that the finished product, the colored cloth, is far more valuable than ordinary cloth.

It's a pity that the funds of the eight major Jin merchants are occupied by the textile mills, you know, the tens of millions of investment in the textile mills, the major shareholders such as the Jin merchants and the Hou family, accounted for almost 20 million, which is already most of the working capital they can draw, even if they know that they can make money because of the fireworks, they can't draw out the funds, unless they sell a fixed industry, which is absolutely impossible for the big family.

The printing and dyeing factory is currently a large shelf, including several large workshops and cement pools, and next to it, there is a special thermometer, which is another big change brought by Yang Yuanzhao.

In this era, there has been a simple thermometer, but this simple thermometer, the accuracy is not high, the later generations brought, just Celsius thermometer, from minus to about 100 degrees, fortunately, most of the printing and dyeing in this era, will not exceed 100 degrees, as long as part of the acid and alkali is isolated, it is OK, the glass isolates the acid and alkali, and a part of the alloy that is not corroded by acid and alkali, as the contact point of temperature, is also complementary, alloy and glass, are integrated mechanism zuò out, a thermometer, Even if it's a little bigger and a little longer, it doesn't take up much space to look at, and it doesn't weigh much, so you can make it casually.

After the accurate calculation of the real yàn room, the suitable temperature of printing and dyeing can be accurate to within 5 degrees, in general, between 20-30 degrees, which is also the key to the masters in the past, with the help of experience and the naked eye can be judged, now, the real yàn room has standardized the system, every step, every soaking, and even turning over, there is a set of standards, anyone as long as they follow this standard, they can do what the master can do before, even stronger, after all, the naked eye and experience, In some cases, it will also deceive people, no matter how strong the master is, he will occasionally miss, and he will also dyed the wrong cloth because of mistakes, and even cause huge losses.

Science will not, maintain a certain temperature, in a fixed, after many aspects of practice, and finally get a set of mature methods with the help of strict regulations, you can be qualified to dye extremely high quality cloth, which is advocated by modern industry, the research of dyeing cloth has reached this era, the ultimate that can be achieved, the effect of printing and dyeing, of course, will continue to rise.

The sound of the horn sounded in the printing and dyeing pool that had just built the roof, and the wide printing and dyeing pool had been injected with different colors of fuel, and several technicians were making the final confirmation, measuring the PH value, measuring the proportion of the solution, and measuring the temperature, all of which would be recorded in the record book next to it, and these records would be provided to the real room in the future as the basic information of the real yàn.

Several masters invited from all over the world, their expressions are completely different, their eyes are more mocking, in their opinion, these foreigners are too eccentric, it is difficult to do it, record something, with the help of instruments, you can complete the dyeing of cloth, what do you want them to do.

It's no wonder that these masters think so, before, when the printing and dyeing factory was printing and dyeing, those dyeing masters who cooperated with the engineers were basically already studying the building, and the actual operation made them find that science can really solve most of the problems, and the dyeing cloth can be done without experience, just according to the scientific practice, to complete the process of dyeing cloth, and there is a good opportunity for the building, of course, they have to study seriously.

A few engineers, gestured well, under the order of the foreman, everyone began to work according to the program, those several masters with different expressions, also among them, the standard program, has been training for a few days, at that time they were all trained in clear water, and there was no temperature and dye control, this time it was the first practice.

In the heart of the master, there is more or less regret that he is blind to such a good dye and white cloth, if they are allowed to come, how much money can be earned.

The white cloth is soaked in the fuel pool, over there, there is a special person staring at the PH value and temperature of the fuel pool, constantly making adjustments to it, and here, just according to the fixed procedure, with the help of a series of tools, flip and rinse the white cloth, the process lasts almost 30 minutes, and then, the white cloth is fished out and enters the next pool.

Salt water pool, this is the last step of cotton dyeing, the color of cotton cloth, after soaking in salt water, will be fixed, this is also cotton dyeing, often used method, in foreign countries, there are many chemical fixing methods, those are slightly troublesome, at least not now Baotou can master.

At this time, several masters were dumbfounded, 30 minutes, in their opinion, it is estimated that the white cloth is dyed with a little color, such a color will not only not be uniform, directly into the salt water, it will fade most of it, this white cloth will be ruined, they are less than a few hundred times, more than tens of thousands of times of dyed cloth, as soon as they come into contact with these white cloths, they know that these white cloths are good white cloths, not even much worse than Songjiang white cloth, if you dye well, you will definitely be able to sell for a big price, before dyeing 10 horses at one time, These are dozens of dollars, and the Jin merchants are really Jin merchants, and they are rich.

However, when the white cloth is put into the salt water, at this time, it can no longer be called the white cloth, the color is extremely blue, after the fixation of the salt water, it becomes more blue, and there is not even much color left in the salt water, after some cleaning, the blue cloth is pulled out and dried outside, several masters get together, carefully observe the blue cloth, and compare the color and luster.

Carefully and carefully, I almost lay down to look at it, but found that I couldn't find any flaws at all, a full 10 horses of white cloth, printed and dyed very well, even in their previous dyeing workshop, can also be called the top grade, occasionally dyed so well, but now, just like half an hour, it was dyed, looking back, except for those few foreigners, there is no one else, is it possible, those foreigners are amazing masters, but no matter how great the masters, don't you need to command, don't you need to invest in secret medicine, don't you need to operate independently, It's as simple as that, you can print and dye, and this is not afraid of others to learn, the above series of procedures and steps have been learned.
