Chapter 150: Spinning Machines and Looms
Almost a month has passed, and the fruits and vegetables in the glass greenhouse have matured four times.
Flandy carved a small plot of land and continued to grow the seeds of the newly ripened fruits and vegetables, which logically would have resulted in a higher yield.
After such a long time, it has been discovered that the plant-based magic essentia does not need to be exchanged so much at all, and many essentia has escaped before it can be absorbed by the plant.
During this time, he was looking for a dose that was balanced with the yield, reducing the daily dosage until he needed only half a bottle per day to achieve the most full use.
Three-quarters of the dose is saved, and any further reduction will affect the yield.
These newly bred seeds are growing again, and the yield is stronger from generation to generation, and there is no end in sight.
It's only been a month, and Frandy feels that the glass greenhouse is a little insufficient.
The melons and fruits are getting bigger and bigger, and the vegetables are getting bigger and bigger, and now a big cabbage planted in the glass greenhouse is enough for everyone to eat, weighing more than 50 catties!
Unexpectedly, the magic essentia of the plant system would have such a great effect on these fruits and vegetables, and Flandi simply asked Wheat Ears Villa to build a lot of similar glass greenhouses.
The glass greenhouse is not a precious thing, just use the cheapest glass.
If there is no steel frame, then use a wooden frame, and with the continuous support of the Melward family's gold coins, the glass greenhouse of the first phase of ten acres of land was quickly built.
But this time, Frandi didn't want to grow fruits and vegetables, but instead planted grains that people commonly use.
Originally, when the glass greenhouse was first built, it was only because of the magic grass, and secondly, to be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in the cold winter.
As a result, the magic grass was not yet ripe, and ordinary fruits and vegetables were producing fruits that Franky didn't expect one after another.
This also led him to think of a way to increase food production, but it still needs to be experimented.
The plant-based magic essentia comes from Frandy's magic tower, and the farmers of Wheat Ears are only responsible for farming.
For many years, every year during the blizzard season, it is the time for farmers to rest, but this year, the farmers of the farm have to toss in the blizzard season, which makes many farmers a little dissatisfied.
But this is the meaning of the master's family, and no one can object, so they have to brave the heavy snow and cooperate with the craftsmen who came to build a glass greenhouse.
When the glass greenhouse of ten acres of land was built, before the agricultural crops were planted, many people already liked it because it was warm.
In addition to the charcoal brazier, there are also a lot of magic devices to heat up, and it feels warmer than in summer.
It's just ten acres of land, and the people of the farm come to join in the fun, watching the snow outside the glass, and sweating like rain in the glass greenhouse, but there is also a different feeling.
Soon the ploughing was done, and the cereal seeds, which were supposed to be planted next spring, were taken out and sprinkled in the fields.
The main favorite food of the people of the Oskaia continent is a purple rice, which is almost universally used in the continent, and Flandy is not very interested in this kind of rice.
This kind of rice particles are very small, about the same size as the millet particles in the previous life, because this kind of grain needs to be smashed with a stone to take out the rice, so it is called rice pinning.
It doesn't have any flavor and the yield is not high, but it is very shelf-stable, as long as it is waterproof and not allowed to come into contact with water, even after ten years, it will taste the same as if it was just harvested.
Perhaps this is why humans have been using it as a staple food for thousands of years.
After handing over the whole jar of essentia to the old man in charge of the farm, Flandy didn't care anymore, he was not good at farming, so it was better to leave it to the farmers.
After a month of development, the magic loom was finally built, and Director Garden personally sent it to Flandy, along with a young man.
He was a young man, and he was in his twenties, older than Flandi's.
"Franky, let me introduce you to an ordinary craftsman in the artisan's workshop, who has studied this himself after seeing your loom. ”
As he spoke, he moved a relatively small machine in front of Flendy.
The machine, which also uses a magic engine and controller, is foot-pedal, with a few spindles, and Franky can tell at a glance that this is the simplest spinning machine.
Although it is barely an innovation to change the handcrank to be driven by a magic engine, the efficiency may be improved, but the degree is not very large.
Looking around the improvised spinning machine with great interest, the young man said with great discernment, "Mr. Flandy, can I show you this?"
"Okay, you can demonstrate. Flendy nodded in agreement.
The young man came prepared, and after taking some linen cloth on the spot, rolling it around the spinning machine, and began to spin the twine.
He had a good hand and foot coordination, and was evidently more proficient, and in a short time the burlap rolls had been spun into usable twine. Then he looked at Romandy expectantly.
"Very nice. Franky praised the spinning machine for being too simple, so simple that he himself was too lazy to design, and the efficiency was not too high, but this spirit was the most precious.
"My name is Lu Sien, I used to make textiles at home, I was familiar with these since I was a child, and after seeing your magic loom, I thought that the loom needs a lot of twine, and I designed this spinning machine. ”
Lu Sien's face was a little red, he felt that his design was too simple, and it was not comparable to the loom designed by Frandy, it was too far behind.
Director Garden was a little proud, this was the first machine in his craftsman's workshop to be designed in-house, and although it was a little simpler, it was an improvement.
"Frandi, Lu Sien's brain is very flexible, although he is just an ordinary craftsman, he has already made a lot of useful suggestions on the magic truck, can you ...... Can you let him study with you for a while?"
"Study with me?" Franky thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but now is not the time, I'm going to arrange it, and I'll tell you when it's arranged." ”
Hearing Frandy say this, both Director Garden and Lusen were a little disappointed.
"Well, Flandy, you have to take care of it!" Director Garden admonished.
In fact, when Frandi said that he wanted Lu Sien to study with him, he already had some ideas, but he didn't have a specific plan yet, so it was inconvenient to say it first.
"Hmm. Is there enough twine?"
"Enough is enough, right in that car, move it down right away. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
The craftsmen removed all the goods from the magic truck, and didn't forget to bring it up again until Director Garden and Lusin left.
"Don't worry, I'll remember, that's what you're waiting for from me. ”
That night, when Gülen returned to the Magic Tower from the palace, Flandy showed him the spinning machine and the loom.
The design of the spinning machine is simple, and the efficiency improvement is not exaggerated, Gülen is not interested, but seeing the loom under the drive of the magic engine, "swish" quickly weaving cloth, his eyes staring without blinking.
Although ordinary people also have manual looms, the efficiency of weaving is still very slow. To fix the warp thread, insert a weft thread every time you pull it manually, and weave a meter of linen cloth at most in a day.
It took less than ten minutes for this magic loom to weave a palm-wide piece, and the efficiency improvement is not a small number.
"That's too fast, isn't it! It takes less than an hour to make a piece of cloth for a garment?"
"Pretty much. In fact, this does not give full play to the power of the magic engine at all, it can only be regarded as the prototype of a loom, and in terms of the power of the magic engine, there is no problem at all with ten or twenty such looms. ”
"Isn't that a waste of all that loom you have with you?"
Gülen was puzzled.
Flandy didn't answer, but continued: "This spinning machine was designed and manufactured by an ordinary craftsman in the craftsman's workshop, what do you think?"
"In general, I don't think it's very different from ordinary spinning machines. ”
"Glenn, I'm going to give you a suggestion. ”
"Oh, make a suggestion, you just say, Frandy. ”
Glenn didn't know what Flandy was going to say, but it must have been something important for him to give his opinion so solemnly.
