Chapter 224: The Shuttle Loom
Huo Weihua moved south.
During this period, the tension that continued to pervade in the capital dissipated a lot, and now the daily affairs of the imperial court are complicated and noisy, and the things between each new style of bureau will not have too much influence and connection.
Just as the Ministry of War and the General Ordnance Bureau are now busy with the affairs of the Pingnan Army going south, the officials of other departments are still performing their duties.
The advantage of this effect is that the development of Daming is booming.
In the backyard of the Royal Directorate of Industry, there are many craftsmen here fiddling with all kinds of parts and tools, and a drawing recently found in the Royal Academy of Sciences has made the entire Textile Industry Department of the Royal General Institute of Industry anxious.
Many people have been working overtime here for a long time, and today is the time to test the results.
Thanks to Zhu Youzhen's inclined help for the development of the General Administration of Industry, many craftsman workshops have been hung under the General Administration of Industry, most of which are some old workshops that were redundant from the original imperial court, and they have been stuffed in.
Shuttle:
Spring..
"Don't use this... Replace that steel spring! The leader saw that one of the craftsmen who was assembling the steel spring did not use the steel spring as required, and immediately pointed out.
"Yes, yes.. My lord, this is changed! ”
Springs, guide rails, sinking bars, all kinds of parts are constantly assembled, the components are built in advance, and today in the backyard is just to complete the final assembly steps.
In a short time, the assembly was complete, but everyone understood that completing the assembly was only the first step.
"Fetch some veils.."
The test soon began, and as the shuttles in the loom continued to cross back and forth, the warp and weft threads continued to weave and shuttle, and the weaving speed was considerable, and the craftsman in charge of fiddling with the loom could not believe his eyes, he was also a famous loom repairer in Kyoto.
I don't know how much I have fiddled with the looms and how many I have seen, although this time the loom developed by the Royal Directorate of Industry looks much more exquisite than the traditional old looms in terms of appearance and internal fine structure.
But he never imagined that such a transformation could increase the efficiency of loom weaving by more than double in an instant.
And as he continued to become proficient in the operation, the speed of weaving cloth became faster and faster, and when the shuttle inside the loom was shuttling, it didn't take long for a wide cloth to be woven by the loom.
I saw that after this cloth was taken out of the loom, the texture was tight, and the length and width were far better than the existing technology of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone was overjoyed.
With a thunderous cheer, this group of young people turned the knowledge in the book into reality through their own means, in addition to the techniques directly taught by the royal family, in this fertile soil of the Ming Dynasty.
And Wang Yisi wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck, and now Wang Yisi, who has officially taken over the technology research and development of the Royal Directorate of Industry and several subordinate divisions, is no longer the child who was apprenticed behind the old Wang's head.
Today, he is the deputy director in charge of the technical affairs of the entire industrial bureau.
I saw that he also took the piece of fabric that had just been woven by the loom with an excited face, and the machine in front of him was not too big, and the structure was not particularly fine.
But the meaning behind it is huge, and Wang Yisi knows it better than anyone else.
With this loom, Daming's textile industry will open a new chapter, and the people of Daming will benefit from this process!
Looms also need to be inspected after mass production.
But the time in this inspection is not destined to be too short, Wang Yi thought for a moment and then said to the officials around him: "This weaving machine is the lifeblood of the Ming textile industry, and it is bound to bring a new round of technological innovation. ”
"So, I've decided that from today onwards, all of us will have to work overtime in the Royal Directorate of Industry, and all our energy will be focused on further renovating this loom, understanding this technology and continuing to run the loom stably for a while."
At this moment, another official on the side responded to Wang Yisi and said: "Lord Wang, why don't we find a site outside the city directly, and let the Beijing-Tianjin Industrial Park send us a group of textile women and yarns, so that we can practice the truth."
Wang Yisi nodded.
"Yes, has anyone calculated the cost of this new loom, and if it is produced in large quantities, the cost is about how much silver it is now."
A person on the side rushed out, still holding a thick account book in his hand, and said while flipping through it: "Lord Wang, the cost of this new loom is not too high, and the current cost is only about five dragon yuan.
"The cost will be reduced to about three dragon yuan."
As soon as Wang Yisi heard this, he said directly: "In this case, organize manpower, increase horsepower, and Mr. will produce 100 looms, and we will do a good job for the weaving enterprises in the Beijing-Tianjin Industrial Park when our Royal General Administration of Industry does!" ”
"Yes! Lord Wang! ”
This side is in full swing of preparations, and on the other side, Wang Yisi returned to his room, hurriedly sharpened the ink and raised the pen, wrote a letter and sent it to the palace.
And Zhu Youzhen, who saw the folding...
"Good! All right! I didn't see the wrong person! "Although the spinning machine has been improved, the weaving efficiency has not improved.
It's not that Zhu Youzhen doesn't know about the shuttle loom, but his understanding of this loom is only familiar when he talks about this name.
But when the Royal General Administration of Industry twisted and turned, Zhu Youzhen just looked at the general introduction of this loom in the content, and immediately understood that this loom has natural advantages over the original Ming traditional weaving equipment, and you must know that the innovation of this equipment for weaving efficiency can be called historic.
With this loom, it can be said that no matter how much cotton yarn Daming has, he is not afraid of not being able to weave it into cloth in time.
The construction of the factory is even simpler, and Wang Yisi proposed to take the lead in testing about 100 pieces of equipment near Beijing.
Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and wrote on the fold.
"This thing is quite good, transfer it to the Royal Bank of Daming, and give 50,000 dragon yuan for special research and development!"
What is the concept of 50,000 dragon yuan, it is possible to build at least a dozen factories outside the capital city, and the weapons must be added to the equipment inside, so that so much money can be spent.
It can be seen that Zhu Youzhen attaches great importance to the shuttle loom.
