Chapter 737: The Gift (I)

Although there is already mental preparation. But the silence still frightened the number given by Lao Ouyang, a machine can drive at least sixty spindles at the same time, and if you make every effort to improve the materials and processes, it can even reach one hundred! And it's running all the time!

Moreover, such a machine only needs two people to take care of, which greatly increases efficiency while greatly reducing labor costs, which is definitely the best invention.

At that moment, Shen Mo felt that the person standing in front of him was Lu Ban, Mo Zhai, Newton, and Watt! It's really a worship in my heart, and a thousand words are combined into one sentence: "You also crossed over, right?" Fewer words"

"Kawagaku?" Ouyang Bijin was very honest and said, "I am from Jiangxi. ”

"You're not human." The more Shen Mo thought about it, the more excited he became, his heartbeat accelerated, and he hissed: "You are a genius, an incomparable genius!" O man of God out of nothing! "Only those who know the future will understand why he lost his temper.

Ouyang Bijin thought at first that Shen Mo was going to scold him, but later he realized that he was praising him, and said a little embarrassed: "It's not my credit alone, first of all, this thing is improved on the basis of the predecessors; And without the Tessie people you got here, I wouldn't have solved a lot of problems. ”

"Did you have this thing before?". Shen Mo was surprised, he really didn't know this. And I have not heard of the appearance of water-powered spinning machines in the cotton textile industry.

"Yes, and always have." Ouyang Bijin nodded and said, "With my previous experience in Yunyang, I started from the books of my predecessors and wanted to find some ideas...... In fact, I had some impressions, as if I had seen a spinning wheel in some book. After looking for a month, I finally found it in Wang Zhen's "Book of Agriculture"! Thinking of the surprise given to him at that time, Lao Ouyang is still a little excited: "It was invented in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and it is called the Water to the Great Spinning Wheel!" It is equipped with 32 spindles, which are driven by two leather ropes to make the ingots work. ”

"I thought at the time, if I can restore this thing, the effect will be ten times higher!" Ouyang Bijin said: "I told those clients excitedly, but I was poured cold water." ”

The guard took two chairs, brought a coffee table, invited the two adults to sit and chatter slowly, and asked silently: "I think people know about this thing, but it can't come in handy." ”

"A human spirit is a human spirit!" Old Ouyang's way of approving is so unique, and he nodded: "Yes, they told me that this thing actually has it now, but if it is used to spin twine, if it is changed to spinning cotton thread, it will not only be thick and thin, loose and tight, but also easy to break." It doesn't work at all. ”

"Oh, I don't think you believe in this evil." Shen Mo picked up the teacup and tasted it, couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "What taste?" ”

Old Ouyang smiled proudly: "Taste it, can you drink it?" ”

"That's great." Shen Mo smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Where did you get Cocoa?" "The heart said that the Great Voyage really began to affect the lives of the people, first tobacco, then cocoa, and I don't know what the next surprise is?

"You actually know ......" This time it was Lao Ouyang's turn to be surprised, and then he was relieved: "That's right, what rare things haven't you seen yet?" ”

"I'm rare." Shen Mo smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "If there is any superfluity, share some with me." He immediately thought of his sons, and said to him that he would give them a taste.

"It's still someone you found to give it to me." Ouyang Bijin said with a smile: "He said that this is also a rare thing in Taixi." ”

"Let's go on." Shen Mo nodded, took a sip of mellow hot cocoa, and really missed this feeling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lao Ouyang also likes this drink very much, took a sip of the teacup and said: "You guessed right, I don't give up, my heart said that since I can spin twine, it means that the basic principle is right, and if you can't spin cotton thread, it should just be a matter of strength." At least certainly very informative. ”

"So he asked people to take me to more than 200 miles away to see that kind of big spinning wheel, which is really shocking," Ouyang Bijin said: "There is a mill as big, with a complex structure and a huge size, but because it is driven by a water wheel, the work is fast and labor-saving, and thirty-two spindles rotate at the same time, and more than 200 catties of linen yarn can be spun in a day." ”

"It is powered by a waterwheel, through the transmission belt, traction spindle and yarn guide frame, to complete the twisting and winding of the yarn, and in order to avoid the entanglement of each yarn strip, the same number of small iron forks are also installed in front of the frame, which can be divided into strips, and can also make the yarn strip form well." When it comes to his interests, Ouyang Bijin said with two bright eyes: "Between these tools, the guide wheel and the belt are linked into a whole, and the belt rotates with the wheel. He said with admiration: "Definitely a genius design." ”

"Then why can't you spin cotton?" Silent asked.

"The main reason is that cotton is not as tough as hemp," Ouyang Bijin replied: "Through careful observation, I thought at that time that one was because the movement of the transmission belt was not regular enough, and the average speed of the spindle could not be guaranteed; The other is that there is no mechanism to adjust the rotational speed, but when cotton is produced. Need to adjust at any time...... The yarn spun in this way must be thick and thin, loose and tight, and it is easy to break. ”

"Can these deficiencies be overcome?". Although he knew that he had overcome it, Shen Mo still made up his words.

"With the current level of craftsmanship in our Ming Dynasty, it is enough to overcome, but it depends on whether you think of it or not, whether the experiment is enough." Ouyang Bijin said proudly: "Since the problem lies in the transmission, then work the transmission, the simplest adjustment problem, I have added a spiral adjustment mechanism in addition to the transmission belt, so that people can tighten or relax the belt as needed, so that the speed can be adjusted at any time...... But then for various reasons, this was not used. ”

"As for making the spindle rotate at a uniform speed, it's a lot trickier, but there is still an idea...... Zhang Sixun of the Song Dynasty invented a mercury driven, automatic time telling 'armillary elephant instrument', a hundred years later after Su Song improved, created the famous 'water transport instrument elephant platform', driven by the waterwheel, can observe the sky, accurate time. This thing is a body of Beijing Qintianjian, I went to see it back then, and I was very impressed. Lao Ouyang said with admiration: "So after I encountered a problem, I thought of such a precise Dayi elephant platform, which is also driven by a waterwheel used by the people, but people can accurately tell the time and rotate synchronously with the sky, which must have solved this problem in order to be exactly the same." ”

Shen Mo knew the 'Water Transport Instrument Elephant Table', which was the core instrument of the Qin Tianjian, providing the emperor with the most accurate astronomical observations, celestial demonstrations, and accurate time signals...... Silence used to always think. The bell tower is a European invention, and I can't imagine that there was one in China during the Song Dynasty, so I can't help but be very embarrassed.

"It just so happened that Nanjing Qintianjian also had one, so I watched it with an old face, and I was lucky to find that in the bookshelf of Qintianjian, there was also the book "New Ritual Method" written by Su Song, and they relied on this book to build the Elephant Table." Lao Ouyang said proudly: "This is to completely understand, the key to the original uniform speed operation, is how to eliminate the relaxation of the transmission connection part, the method adopted by our ancestors is to replace the belt with a chain link of the transmission chain." The chain link can be tightly engaged with the teeth on the water wheel, and the entire transmission chain is wound around the wheel, which is a short and tight transmission device, which perfectly eliminates slack and achieves a constant speed. ”

"That's it, isn't it? "Fewer words" said with a silent smile, he knew that people had a desire to speak at such a time, and of course he would accompany him.

"I think so too," Ouyang Bijin said with emotion: "After I went back, it took me a month to complete the improvement of the water-to-spinning machine, and I said that it was all done now, right?" Few words, but the results of the experiment disappointed me...... The spun cotton thread is loose and sparse, and it is not even connected at all, it can only be called a cotton sliver, which does not meet the requirements at all. ”

"Why is that?" Shen Mo asked strangely.

"I don't understand, and then I invited the spinning master to give a diagnosis, and when people saw it, they smiled and said that this spinning machine can spin hemp and raw silk, but it can't spin cotton, because the function of this spinning machine is only to put the silk thread together, twist and then wind, and those long and tough hemp and raw silk can be spun directly with this. However, the cotton velvet is too short and the tensile force is too small, so the spun cotton thread will be unusable. Ouyang Bijin said: "At that time, they all said that there was no way, because the ancestors had not been able to solve this problem, but I was not convinced. Do we have to rely on our ancestors for everything? Doesn't this make future generations laugh at the fact that one generation is not as good as the next? ”。

"Well said." Shen Mo clapped his hands and praised: "It is not right to be thick in the past and thin in the present, one generation is stronger than the next, and only then can we have hope for China." ”

"That's right." Ouyang Bijin nodded and smiled: "I went to see them spinning, and it turned out that they used two ways to twist the loose cotton sliver into a thread, one is to pass the cotton sliver from the middle of a frame and wrap it around the spindle, when the frame rotates, the cotton sliver is both twisted and stretched, and when it is wound on the spindle, it is a strong cotton thread; There is also a way to use a roller instead of a wooden pole. ”

He pointed to the 'popcorn machine' and said, "It's such a cylinder." Fill the tampon inside. As long as you pull out the cotton thread in the tube, you can use the power of rotation to achieve the effect of twisting and stretching, all of which are tightly stranded and directly wrapped around the spindle......" said with both hands together, and said: "Then connect this thing with that set of transmission devices, and you can succeed." It's not that simple, though, but with those Tessie artisans you sent...... Their mastery of gears, cranks, and bearings is indeed outstanding, and with their assistance, they have finally achieved it. ”

"What is the final spinning result?" This is the main concern of Shen Mo.

"That's it." Old Ouyang picked up a spindle from the ground and said, "This is what my prototype machine spun." ”

Shen Mo took it and looked at it, it looked thicker than ordinary cotton threads, and he pulled it hard, very tough and strong. I couldn't help but praise: "It's better than hand-spun." ”

"The final version has also been designed." Ouyang Bijin said: "Because the belt has been changed to a chain, my spiral adjustment mechanism is useless, recently let those Taixi people, tinker out a set of gear sets, you can adjust the speed by changing the size of the transmission gear, so that the thickness of the cotton thread can be controlled." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After listening to the old Ouyang's narration, silence can be determined that an invention that will change the times was born, although spinning is only a process in the textile industry, but the innovation of a process will surely drive the innovation of the whole industry. The reason is very simple, take the cotton textile industry as an example, this industry is composed of many processes such as processing cotton, spinning, weaving, bleaching, printing, dyeing, etc., and the efficiency of one of the processes is greatly improved, which will inevitably increase the demand for upstream output and seriously overload the downstream process. This internal technical contradiction will eventually stimulate the upstream and force the downstream to find ways to improve in order to achieve a balance between processes.

As Ma Zi said: 'A change in the mode of production in one industrial sector will inevitably lead to a change in the mode of production in other sectors...... With machine spinning, there must be machine weaving, and these two make the bleaching, printing and dyeing industries have to be mechanically and chemically**. ’

Silent believes that as long as the market demand is maintained and innovation is encouraged and protected, the cotton textile industry will happen in Daming sooner or later...... It doesn't matter if it's ten years, twenty years, or even one or two hundred years, it's better than the UK.

In fact, he has long wanted to light the first fire in this industry, but he is self-aware, he is really white in science and engineering, and it is estimated that he will not be able to make it up in his life, so he can only sigh.

But he never expected that Old Ouyang would help him realize this long-cherished wish, which made Shen Mo how could he not be ecstatic? Shen Mo really wants to look up to the sky and sigh, God has eyes!! However, because of his identity, he tried his best to remain reserved, but the tears in his eyes were about to gush out.

confused Lao Ouyang, and said strangely: "What's the matter, I'm confused?" ”

"Leave me alone, I need to be calm and calm." Shen waved his hand, took a deep breath, and walked to the end of the storeroom, and saw a cabinet, he quickly hid behind.

As soon as he left everyone's sight, the tears couldn't be stopped, fluttering down, silently reaching out to wipe it, but the more he wiped it, he simply flowed happily at a time...... The silent expression was also extremely complicated, and his fists were clenched tightly and released, all of which showed that his heart was full of mixed feelings at the moment, and he couldn't express it......

No one knows what old Ouyang's flowing water means to him, although it is just a machine that can't speak, it makes Shen Mo lose the sorrow of fighting alone - he was an ordinary young man, but he came here by mistake, this fork in history. Although no one forced him, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, he couldn't accept it anyway, and his country, which had dominated the country for thousands of years, suddenly fell into cruel darkness. Until 500 years later, the wound has not fully healed, and it is still difficult to find a way to revival.

Although no one forced him, he had no choice, but he was not the kind of great man who took the world as his own responsibility and although thousands of people wanted to do it, he was essentially just an ordinary person, he would make mistakes, he would be sad and weak, and he would not be able to stand the pain of being unable to tell others; They will feel hopeless because of loneliness.

Yes, although his friends are like clouds and countless protégés under his command, he is still lonely, this loneliness comes from the secret and can't tell anyone, he can't tell people, I come from five hundred years later, our country still has seventy or eighty years, and we will let the alien race be wiped out, be enslaved for more than 200 years, and then let the world's powers ravage, so we have to work together to fight to change this fate...... It is estimated that he will be sent directly to the imperial doctor.

So he couldn't explain it, he could only carry all the heavy burden on his shoulders, stuffy his head, silent, staggering, and apprehensive in the unknown...... Mess around. Don't look at him doing so much, but he doesn't have any confidence at all, this road is too far and too difficult to travel, and it is so long that people can't see hope at all.

It was only because he knew that no matter how he made trouble, Da Ming's fate could not be worse than the original, so he took the plunge and treated the dead horse as a live horse doctor. But a voice in my heart kept shouting: 'Give up, you can't succeed!' The thought was hovering in his mind like a ghost, and sooner or later it would drive him insane.

Really, compared to despair, what suffering, tiredness, loneliness, and pain are all not worth mentioning......

But today, after seeing the 'flowing water spinning machine', the flame of hope in Shen Mo's heart really burned for the first time, although it was not big, it was enough to warm his body and mind and illuminate his way forward.

Hopefully, even if it is just a little, he will be fearless, he will have a direction, and he will finally be able to throw off that heavy shackle......

partition

Enough words, serious nagging.

Every time I was told that I had no credit, I was extremely uncomfortable, no different from being scolded in person......

In real life, I'm very good at keeping my promises, well, I guess so. And when writing "Authority", everyone has also seen that it is definitely 10,000 a day, rain or shine.

But why does this book keep skipping tickets? In fact, I've been busy lately, and I've put all my energy on this book, and I really want to recover my character...... If you look at my update time, you can see that it is true, basically before one or two o'clock, it is impossible to sleep, and there are even two days until three or four o'clock.

What's the problem?

Quite simply, when I broke away from the embrace of history, I was in control of the reins, and such a large deduction process required more effort than I could imagine. For example, this time, according to the outline, after the mutiny, he only stayed in Suzhou for a short time, just to show what the seeds of silence are now growing, and then he returned to Hangzhou. I feel that it has been conceived clearly, the plot and characters have been arranged, and there is no problem with changing 10,000 a day, so I released cruel words.

But when I was writing, this seemingly simple little copy of Suzhou made me annoyed, first philosophy, logic, and then the current production relations in Suzhou, as well as the new production tools.

To tell you the truth, before I wrote a new chapter, I only had these few keywords in my head, but to turn it into words, it is like turning cotton into clothes, there are too many processes to go through.

Over the weekend, I read more than 100,000 philosophical articles so that the vague things in my mind would not be biased or even fallacious...... You know how complicated this thing is.

Then it's easy to finish writing and continue ...... Yesterday, it took a day to explain the new situation in Suzhou with a story of demolition.

The heart says it's OK, right? Who knew that I was dumbfounded as soon as I arrived at the design institute, so what is the newly invented thing? It's a textile machine, yes, but if you really want to write it out, the question arises again, what kind of textile machine? To what extent the textile industry has now, and to what extent machinery is more reasonable, these things, without research, cannot be written.

So I studied for another day, first to understand the process of the textile industry, the process of the East and the West, then the invention of the textile industry in England, and the invention of other countries, and then to choose. It ends up being a few hundred words......

An essay is also 5,000 words, and I can write it in two and a half hours at the earliest, but sometimes, it takes a day or two, because after writing a paragraph, it is never possible to predict how much effort it will take to write the next paragraph.

My mom used to say, don't take it that seriously. But I'm not a serious person at all, as evidenced by the many typos in the article. But even by my standards, I can't stand random words. I have to be worthy of your money, and I have to make myself feel that what I'm doing isn't shit...... At the very least, I have a good idea; I did my best to tell every story well.

My peers called me a fool. The effectiveness of the referral income is the clearest, especially now is the best referral period, as long as I update more, the income of one day will catch up with the usual two or three days. No one can relax during this time and wait for the money for the New Year!

But if you run into a pit, you have to fill it in and go over, if I go around, I will be a pit person, and I will cheat money! I can't do this kind of thing, no matter how many holes there are, I have to fill them up again! In fact, there are many people who compete with me like me, but most of them are lost in the nobody's attention, and it can be said that there are very few people like me who mix well, which is my blessing and my luck. If I don't cherish it, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!

In the end, those who say, don't make promises. But if I don't stimulate myself, how can I cheer up? At the very least, after making the promise, I threw myself into the book, and if I hadn't forced myself, I was afraid that I wouldn't have been able to get into the state. The content of the chapters in the past few days can't be written......
