Chapter 206: Blue

In the real room, seeing the arrival of Yang Yuanzhao, many people took the initiative to greet Yang Yuanzhao, but more, they were intoxicated with their research, after more than a month of operation, in the real room, a set of systems have been formed, all kinds of methods, under the guidance of science, continue to carry out, a certain process dù above, these printing and dyeing methods and matters to pay attention to, have formed a system. (www.)

More and more methods have emerged, Yang Yuanzhao for the progress of the research, no hesitant rewards, any useful method to improve, whether it is a fixed color, or to reduce the cost, or even a new dye printing and dyeing method, will get different rewards, more than a month, Yang Yuanzhao issued a reward, as high as 20,000 US dollars, that is, 40,000 Long Yang, more than 40 people, more, even more than 2,000, less, there are hundreds of dollars.

After a period of intense research, you can get a good reward, and you can communicate with each other, as long as it is proved that in the whole research process, a certain role is provided, and in the end, the reward can be shared.

Although it is said that eating alone, the reward is relatively more, but under a certain process, eating alone is not so delicious, printing and dyeing involves all aspects of knowledge, chemistry, physics, and even experience, no engineer or scientist, can do every step of printing and dyeing well, but cooperate with each other, concentrate the wisdom of everyone, but will get a better solution, after the first pair of people who cooperate with each other to solve problems appeared, The division of labor and cooperation are becoming more and more common.

Science, in itself, is a difficult road. In this era, there is no such thing as separating a single topic. A group of people divide labor and cooperate, and they may be the first pioneers.

Walk to the corner of the real yàn room. More than 40 people, three or five different groups have been formed, from time to time to guide the assistants, help them get some things, the smell in the room is very strange, all kinds of different chemical reagents, intertwined in it, it can't be said to smell bad, but everyone. But I didn't feel it at all, and I was serious about hurting the people.

Yang Yuanzhao opened a notepad full of words and special symbols, this is a record list, the completion progress and completion of each group are here, there is no need to worry about no one recording the actual yàn, because this record list is the only way to determine the amount of rewards, and the results of the tasks that are not recorded are not recorded, and there is no result of the task record. is not recognized.

After several losses, the researchers learned wisely, and they carefully recorded the daily task list, and Yang Yuanzhao would come over every day to look at the task list. With the help of these task lists, he can clearly grasp the progress of the real yàn room.

Before yesterday, the real yàn room had been on 79 existing dyeing materials. Nearly 2,000 realizations were performed, almost an average of 30 times each. It has been figured out that the vast majority of stains are under optimal staining conditions. After determining these, now, the purpose of the researcher is how to reduce the cost of printing and dyeing, improve efficiency, and the most important thing is not to fade.

Fading, this is a big problem of printing and dyeing, until later generations, the problem of fading, has not been a good solution, some ordinary colors, will fade, even some fabrics, but also need to use a special medium, can not be cleaned with water casually.

For printing and dyeing, fading is an eternal topic, in this era, for the fading of dyes, there are several treatments, for example, washing with salt water, such as soaking in a special solution, special temperature and water treatment, in China, as well as in foreign countries, printing and dyeing factories, have summarized a series of methods, the main task of the researcher is to choose the appropriate method in this.

Looking at today's record, it seems that there is only one thing worth noting, that is, in the environment of salt solution, the completion of the dyeing of blue dye will reduce the number of blue dye by half, although it is only half of it, it is already the best result in the last few days. Then read on, Yang Yuanzhao's brows furrowed tightly, and the following few real records, without exception, were failures.

These are Yang Yuanzhao took out some of the colors used on cotton cloth in later generations, and asked them to study, it seems that there is not much progress in this aspect, which is more or less, which makes him a little disappointed, and he is also looking forward to being able to apply some dyes in later generations to this era, he has seen the dyes of this era, and he has also seen the cloth dyed by dye, and the color is very positive, but the color, Xuanliang Cheng dù, is far worse than that of later generations.

sighed, subconsciously looked back, the next record, made his eyes shine, it was a researcher named Ollie who asked if these dyes were not the original appearance, as if they were combined with cotton, and the dyes had obvious cotton characteristics.

The combination with cotton cloth, Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, too, he seems to have heard that most of the dyes in later generations are chemical dyes, which are reflected with cotton cloth to form relatively fixed chemical products, so that the color is bright and not easy to fade.

For the time being, this is a direction, at least in Yang Yuanzhao's hands, there is no original dye, only the clothes, extracted, as a final result, handed over to these chemical researchers for research, and there is no intention to make a breakthrough in this aspect. Now the key is how to use the existing dyes well, some methods in later generations, such as fixation, temperature control, and others, are all solutions, let these researchers study, and finally, come up with several methods, and then dye those cloths into finished products.

That's right, it is the fundamental reason why Yang Yuanzhao left those fabrics before, after dyeing, sell the finished products, not to mention casual dyeing, after dyeing in large quantities, the materials consumed will be reduced to a certain extent, and the price will be a little more profitable.

In the real yàn room, on the test bench that was most crowded, there was a blue dye going on, which was a very common blue. The material used is the most ordinary blue of this era. It is also the cheapest of all blues. The cheapest blue, its color is bright, some dark, the dyeing effect is not good, and it is easy to fade.

You know, the general blue, is black blue, dark blue, this kind of blue. It is mostly used on the homespun cloth, because the homespun cloth is heavy, and the farmers are not afraid of dirty, blue is synonymous with resistance, if it is just for money, Yang Yuanzhao does not have to be real yàn at all, but this is exactly one of the real yàn that Yang Yuanzhao pays the most attention to.

market, perhaps. High-end fabrics can create huge profits, but high-end luxury jewelry is a minority after all. Even if it is sold out, how much can it be sold, the reason why the industry is strong. It's in his yield, blue. Black, earthy yellow. These inconspicuous, even cheap colors, if they really solve the most critical problems, may not be able to create huge profits.

Take the cotton planted by the reclamation company last year, 210 hectares of land, even if an acre of land is about 300 catties of harvest, under the cotton textile mill that goes all out, that is, a few days of raw materials, but when this year's reclamation company signed a contract under the land, 420,000 hectares, more than 60,000 hectares, more than 6 million acres of land, even if an acre of land increases production by one catty, the added value of output will exceed all last year's output, at least, in the case of cotton textile mills do not expand the scale, cotton output is enough for cotton textile mills to use for several years.

In a sense, quantity will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, a few cheap colors, representing a broader and more critical market, if there is a breakthrough in this aspect, the least profit is guaranteed.

Now the cotton textile factory, the production of high branches, are very small, in the careful selection of the brightest, the highest fiber length of a batch of cotton as raw materials, the production of more than 60 pieces of fine cotton yarn, the number of these, probably accounted for about 1% of the entire production quantity, more, or between 14 and 15 ordinary coarse cloth, color, or blue, black and green and other colors, after all, farmers to work, to plough the land, coarse coarse cloth, looks stuffy, but wear-resistant and wear-resistant, is the best choice, Identifying the demand is the key to sales.

At this time, the blue dyed cloth, has been a breakthrough, not only in color, with the help of acidic solution, the brightness has been greatly improved, with the help of salt and special chemical solutions, the problem of fading has also been greatly solved, now there is only one way to determine the process of industrial dyeing, as long as this is passed, this dyeing step, can be recorded, as an important dyeing direction of the future dyeing factory.

The cotton textile factory, located in the most central location of the entire industrial zone, at this time, has entered a busy state, every day, up to hundreds of bales of cotton cloth, almost tens of thousands of pounds of cotton processing capacity, thousands of people, as if a clockwork machine, in non-stop operation, weaving branch, a little calm, 300 skilled workers respectively into the various towns of Baotou, and even now is still gradually expanding, a certain amount of dù above, so that these lack of skilled workers, daily work still to be carried out, The weaving machine, up to now, has not been running at full capacity, most of the workers, still in the process of proficiency, only half of them can successfully weave, the rest, still in the study and research, they will grow into excellent weavers in the future, it is still very early.

On the other side of the cotton mill, near the weaving mill, a massive new building was broken, starting with dozens of cement pools of various sizes and even depths.

This is the newly established dyeing factory, after a series of consultations, and even several rounds of mutual discussions, in the end, the cloth produced by the weaving factory, temporarily not as grey cloth out of the out, these fabrics, different from the ordinary cloth four feet negative, are 5 feet, or even wider format, a certain degree of dù, if sold as grey fabric, the price is not easy to go up, but direct printing and dyeing, as long as the effect of dyeing cloth is better, you can definitely get higher profits.

Regarding the capital increase of the dyeing factory, it will soon be passed, no one will get along with the money, the eight major Jin merchants, the reason why they invested in this cotton textile factory, is not it for money, now, someone is willing to let them have more money, this, who can not want it?

Walking in the dyeing factory area, Yang Yuanzhao carefully looked at the setting inside, as one of the designers, he knows all about it, it seems, this pool, and ordinary dyeing workshop, there is not much difference, but people who are really familiar with dyeing cloth can still see the difference from the middle, not only the size and depth of the pool are different, but even in the pool of different sizes, there are differences and connections.

At this time, there are 7 blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, who are knowing the construction of the workers, they have passed the system and summarized, and finally come up with the construction plan, this construction plan, makes good use of various pools, for example, the largest pool, generally speaking, is used for printing and dyeing three colors of blue, black and earthy yellow, which is also one of the main colors of the future dyeing workshop.

The largest pool, of course, is used for dyeing, the front, is the early treatment, such as bleaching, cotton because of the different grades of cotton, on the cotton, there will also be a certain color difference, this color difference, does not affect the quality of the cotton cloth itself, but will make the dyeing, the color appears uneven, must be bleached, so that the color of the cotton cloth, on the same horizontal line.

When the bleaching of the white cloth is over, the white cloth will immediately enter the largest pool for printing and dyeing, the largest pool, there is a thermometer, the dye has a certain activity in different temperatures, different acid and alkali environments, chemical preparations, in different activities, the effect of printing and dyeing is also different, the real room is not by virtue of experience, but under the guidance of Yang Yuanzhao, all the conditions are systematically proposed, in this case, dyeing cloth, It is no longer an ordinary job, but has become a fixed standard, as long as it reaches this standard, anyone can dye it, and there is no need for a master to control it.

After completing the printing and dyeing, Yang Yuanzhao will have two choices, on the one hand, according to the original treatment method, a series of color fixing treatments, the most important thing is the problem of salt water, and the other option is to use a steam engine according to the new method, with the help of steam and salt, sprayed with steam, so that the color is evenly attached to the cotton, not only the color is on a higher level, but also not easy to fade.
