Today's weather is good, Yun Yao asked Mo Wu to bring back some wood to prepare to open the kiln to burn charcoal, in order to increase the temperature of the blast furnace, Yun Yao has already started to make charcoal.

Charcoal is the fuel obtained after insufficient combustion of wood, which is widely used, the most important is to be used as fuel for refining bronze, because the moisture in the wood is evaporated in advance, so it burns at a higher temperature than wood. Since the Shang Dynasty, there have been charcoal people who make charcoal, and Yun Yao also relied on the gourd to draw scoops and quickly made high-quality charcoal.

Next, Yun Yao needed to refine a batch of bronzes, mainly bronze parts, for the transformation of the textile machine, because the gold silk that had been saved for five years could almost be weaved.

However, gold silk is different from ordinary silk, it is full of toughness, and ordinary wooden looms cannot be processed at all, so it is necessary to use bronze parts to strengthen the loom in key parts. Therefore, Yunyao directly transformed the loom into a jacquard machine, so that the loom could weave wider and longer cloths and weave complex patterns.

Golden silk is not easy to process, and it is not a material for mortals, but Yun Yao always wants to challenge it with mortal ability.

There is a small weaving machine in Caiyi, which can only weave a width of less than three feet, although it is usually enough, but it cannot process golden cicada silk.

"The width has to be raised to a foot." It would have to triple in size at once, and the heavier the loom, the heavier it was, the greater the wear, so the key parts had to be replaced with bronze.

The loom is a heavy industry in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is already very good to have one in Yunyao Caiyi, and it will take at least another thousand years for men to cultivate and weave women, and then the loom will go to every household, and the advanced jacquard opportunity is even more exaggerated, and a room should be prepared for installation and use.

The one-zhang wide jacquard machine has surpassed the level of the Western Zhou Dynasty, of course, the principle has not changed, that is, it is larger, and there are more patterns that can be weaved.

This loom of the first in the Western Zhou Dynasty started with charcoal, and after Yun Yao drew the design drawings of a few stone slabs, he finally began to miss the paper.

But forget about papermaking, don't waste wood.

Yun Yao continued to work with the wild man, and the wild man was also happy to help Yun Yao with his errands, not only for pay, but also for learning. They have a deep understanding of the importance of learning, things that they would not have been able to do through learning, and learning can make life better.

Yun Yao wore a long linen skirt with a deerskin apron on the outside, her long hair was combed into a bun, fixed on the top of her head with a wooden hairpin, the wide sleeves were tied up with a cloth belt, and her jade arms moved freely.

Eighteen years old, white as snow, beautiful as picturesque, but still very down-to-earth to lead the work of the savages, built an earthen kiln, built a blast furnace, but the small quarry is complete, almost to build a towering city wall.

After accumulating grain, Xiao Guo on the south bank organized people to repair the city wall by hand, and built an earthen city wall more than two meters high, which could prevent wild beasts and demons.

The Zhujia mining on the north bank is still a fence, although it is repaired and maintained every year, but it is indeed vulnerable to the earthen city wall on the south bank. In addition, there is more and more food in the granary, and Shu Zai has already proposed to repair the wall, but Yun Yao knows that the wall will have to be demolished sooner or later, because Yun Yao knows that as long as the population in the mining area will increase in a few years, the construction of the city wall will definitely cause congestion, it is better to develop and build the wall slowly, anyway, they have monks to protect the mining city.

After the charcoal is burned, the savages will take the sparse charcoal home and use it, which is not wasted at all.

In the interval between the construction of the jacquard machine, Yun Yao also considered the weaving of gold silk and wanted to dye it. Because it is not only for himself, the golden silkworm that Xuanniao brought back produces a lot of silk, and there is a very strange phenomenon that the golden silkworm and the ordinary silkworm are put together, and the ordinary silkworm has also turned golden, and now the golden silk can make several sets of clothes.

It turned out that Yun Yao's first 'lottery' was very lucky, and what Xuanniao found was not an ordinary golden silkworm, but the golden silkworm king, who could make the surrounding silkworms his own kind. Sure enough, the Xuanniao is still very mysterious, providing a very high reward for Yun Yao, who offered sacrifices for the first time.

Since it is necessary to consider dyeing well if you want to weave, it cannot be gray-white like all linen clothes, which is too monotonous. In the backward environment, you have to use your own brains if you want to dye anything, you have to find fuel by yourself, you have to build your own jacquard machine and embroidery if you want patterns, in short, you have to do it yourself.

"Sister Demon Dance, do you see this trick beautiful?" Yun Yao is a straight man with an aesthetic, so she still asked a real woman in the grass house to provide advice.

However, Demon Dance is not an ordinary woman, she likes black, and likes two patterns: skeletons and flames.

"Skeletons represent victory, flames represent strength." Demon Dance said, "Master, I think it's best to have black as the base, plus white skeletons and red flames. ”

Yun Yao shook her head when she heard this, it was not as good as her petal pattern.

In fact, there is no woman who has ever woven cloth in the grass house, the magic dance is a ghost slave and later cultivates immortals and has no chance to learn weaving, Li is a Dongyi woman, she will make leather, Hongsang is a genius of Tushan who cultivates immortals, Yunyao is a traverser but did not have the opportunity to contact weaving before crossing, and they all started to learn after crossing.

So no one has ever done the work of designing patterns, so I can only think about it a little bit.

The gold silk has been arranged into a spindle by spinning wheel, and the texture of the silk thread is like metal, but it can be dyed. If it can be processed, I still want the spun silk to be beautiful.

In the end, everyone discussed, or not to use tangible things as the theme, but to use invisible things such as clouds, fire, and thunder to highlight the ethereal aura of the monks, fresh and refined, but this kind of irregular pattern is not easy to weave.

Fortunately, Yunyao is very confident, and she is also very confident in her improved loom.

The prototype of the part is made from wood, then a mold is made from a mixture of pine resin and grass ash, and the bronze juice is poured into the shape to cool and shape, and the finished bronze part is polished and finally loaded onto the machine.

A house was vacated in the caiyi to install this machine with a width of one zhang and a length of three zhang, because it was very heavy and needed to be supported by beams, and on the day of installation, the people in the caiyi came to see the excitement, and it was the first time they had seen such an exaggerated loom.

Several Chinese people even went into battle to help assemble in person, they knew that the cloth woven by such a large loom must be very wide and very long, although they didn't know what Yun Yao wanted such a big satin to do, but such a big thing must be rare.

Nowadays, the common cloth is only two feet wide, and although it is used as a cloth coin, the size and length of each cloth coin are different, and there is no uniform standard. If Yun Yao uses such a large loom to weave cloth coins and then trades them, she will definitely lose to her grandmother's family. Fortunately, Yunyao is weaving cloth for personal use, and will not take it out as cloth coins.

It took a whole day to assemble, and to get the jacquard machine to work, it took a whole day of preparation, after all, the warp threads had to be divided, and the color of the pattern had to be divided. Once the threads are divided and neatly mounted on the jacquard machine, weaving begins. 111
