Chapter 1296: Improvement of the Jacquard Machine

,!

After thinking about the method, Lin breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said, "Since several guests know the production method of your country's silk, then I should be able to easily convince you that my production process is different from yours. Words are unfounded, but seeing is believing. There's a piece of cloth being made right now, so please come with me and see how it goes. ”

The secret of the jacquard machine, Lin Ke has never disclosed to outsiders. It's not for the sake of secrecy, it's just that I don't plan to reveal the technology or sell the fabric, so I haven't let people see it. In line with the habit before crossing, people who give treasures to show off their wealth when they have nothing to do are particularly annoying, so they should not be this kind of person.

Moreover, the craftsmen who are obsessed with the land are not used to letting people visit the places where they work. It's the finished item that's all that matters, and very few people care how it's made.

On the other hand, there is no technical threshold in the field, and some are only material thresholds. One craftsman forges a sharp sword, and the others just complain that they didn't get that particular material, otherwise I can.

Few people think about how to improve the process or technology to improve the quality of the production. Some practice makes perfect, and they can't be taught in words, so most people trust the old craftsmen.

But this time, in order to convince these insiders, they had to let them see it with their own eyes. As for whether the secrets of the production will be leaked because of this, Lin thinks that for this country with incense, he can learn it, anyway, he doesn't rely on this way to eat. But if you can't learn, you can't be responsible for teaching it.

Someone doesn't dare to say anything else, magic plus programming language plus machine structure, and you can pull the technical threshold as high as you want. If you think about forums, cars, etc., why no one has copied or improved them until now, isn't it because people who have not studied systematically can't read them.

It's just that someone's generous attitude is exchanged for the fear of the guests. Count Guha was even more surprised and delighted, and asked, "Can I go and see it too?" ”

"Of course, everybody, please. The workshop is outside the house, and there is a separate building where all the work is done. Please come with me. Lin said, and with a wave of his hand, he led everyone out.

Fen was the first to follow. She didn't look at people the whole time, it's not that she looks down on anyone, she just can't look at it and look for trouble. Because the hand was caught, she had no chance to break out. Otherwise, this group of people would have not had a chance to talk nonsense.

The second is William? Greco. Although this white sword master was a little lazy, his curiosity was strong. For new things, in the spirit of seeing and not suffering, he is very happy to appreciate them. Otherwise, such a person would not be full of fascination. And the jacquard machine happened to be something he hadn't seen before.

Count Guha and his entourage did not look at the few people of the Silk Country, and quickly followed.

Someone misunderstands and mistakenly thinks that the Haider Empire, as the suzerain, should know the general process even if it does not have permission to make silk. But I didn't think that Count Guha really didn't know.

Whether those great nobles in the Haider Empire have mastered this technology, Count Guha does not know. Anyway, the truth is that he doesn't know, and even if others do, at most they are secretly producing it for their own use, and they don't dare to let these privately owned silks become commodities and sell them outside.

The weakness of the Emperor of the Heider Empire was only in the decision-making stage before the order was issued, and it was mostly a matter of people. However, as long as it becomes an official order and is issued, the enforcement will be guaranteed by all nobles. Therefore, when the protection of the silk craft of the Silk Country becomes a national policy, no one will dare to take a step forward.

However, several guests from the Silk Country had strange expressions. Determining whether this Estali magician has the ability to make silk was the initial investigative project, and then it was confirmed that the other party was making it there. The worst-case scenario is that they have to hire people from the underground society to sabotage everything.

But I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, it was actually the magician who took the initiative to ask for someone to visit. So it didn't take long to think about it, and several people, including the princess of Xindu, followed in the footsteps of the magician.

The Jacquard workshop is on the east side of the courtyard. On the west side is the Silkworm Chamber. Of course, there is not only a jacquard machine in the workshop, but also a silk reeling machine and other automatic machinery. The most important process of enchanting the silk thread is also carried out in this workshop, without the need for human labor.

According to someone's idea, there are not many people to trust, and they can't occupy too much of their time and make it difficult for other things to move forward. Then the only way is to leave the work that can be automated to the machine, and liberate the manpower from the boring and repetitive work.

Therefore, these machines have been improved and adjusted since the completion of production. Nowadays, as long as there is no big mistake in the initial patterning drawing, the whole process does not need to be intervened by manpower. At most, come to inspect regularly to confirm that the machinery is in normal operation.

The cloth that the Jacquard machine was weaving today was expected to be used to sew undergarments for Fin's apprentice, the Marquis of Baran. It was only after Lin and his two apprentices had a set of magic silk robes, and Fen even had two, that the former Demon King thought of his apprentice. As for Leonardo, of course, he cried to the side and drew circles.

The reason why this dress, which was expected to be made for the Marquis of Balan, was not designed in French robes or hanfu like others, was because it was in line with the women's clothing customs of the Gwana Empire. To put it simply, in front of outsiders and non-related men, no skin is exposed, including the face.

Although the strength is enough, you can ignore the rumors of the outside world. But the Marquis, who was very insecure, wanted to hide in her room all day. She was willing to step out of the room, how could she easily expose herself to outsiders.

So apart from the traditional dress of the Gwana Empire, the Marquis of Baran did not do what he thought. If it weren't for her lack of physical strength, she would have even wanted to cover herself under the full armor all day.

How did she know that her frenzied teacher actually went the opposite way and designed a short cheongsam for this beloved apprentice, and the hem was close to the absolute realm! The reason is that the Qingyun costume has just been made, and the cocoon reserves are not enough to make the imperial standard burqa, but it is more than the fabric demand for women's underwear, so it is made like this......

The style of this short cheongsam, if Kaweigong sees his granddaughter wearing it like this, it is estimated that he will pull his beard, pull her hair, and pull herself out until she is bald. The Marquis of Balan herself could not have dressed like this, even in front of her best friends or other women, even if she didn't mention anyone else.

However, in terms of enchantment, dozens of practical protective magic, support magic, and life magic are attached. It can be said that in terms of design, as long as you wear this body, your physical fitness will instantly improve to the extent that you can compete with senior fighters, and it is also warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very comfortable. Of course, whether the martial arts are enough to fight those warriors is another matter.

The advantage of this enchantment route is that the Marquis of Balan can wear this short cheongsam inside, and a traditional burqa on the outside. Even in the summer, the magic on the clothes can ensure that the whole person is in the most comfortable temperature environment.

Preparing one's apprentice with this kind of life-oriented magical equipment rather than defensive or special-purpose type of magic equipment was actually a decision made in consideration of the status of the Marquis of Balan.

As the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of the Empire, it is destined that the Marquis of Baran will not be able to run to the forefront to fight with monsters or enemies like ordinary adventurers; Unless she can't think of it herself. And she also learned necromancy from Fen, so she could revive a pile of skeletons and drown the enemies in front of her, without having to take action herself. can call the younger brother, which boss will personally take action.

Since you won't run to the front line, why don't you make your life more comfortable while taking care of defense. Those life magics are attached to this.

Speaking of which, Fen understands better than anyone else. Arranging your own apprentices is also a set of sets and reasonable. Of course, there is no way to refuse. Speaking of which, the most domineering person in this family is this former demon king.

And to make the fabric of the new dress of the Marquis of Balan, it is on a jacquard machine. I saw that the jacquard arm the size of thousands of fine needles was hanging from the colorful warp threads running up and down, and the shuttles that were punched out drove the weft back and forth. It was a brocade with a green background and bright flowers.

After several revisions, the jacquard machine is no longer woven into a standard size of fabric, and then cut and sewn into clothes afterwards. Instead, it is directly based on the proofed version of the clothes, retaining the necessary coherent parts and weaving irregular shapes. The advantage of this is that there will not be too much leftover rag after cutting, and a lot of silk thread will be saved.

So in front of everyone's eyes was a huge machine, making a deafening noise and spitting out a crooked piece of cloth. The speed of the spit out is quite slow, moving forward little by little. If it weren't for the roar of the machine being too loud and the jacquard arm running quite eye-catching, everyone would have thought that this ghost thing was broken.

What surprised several guests of the Silk Country was that the fabric woven by this large iron toy was indeed silk in its luster. Not to mention the strange shapes, it is a very incredible thing for them to be able to weave complex patterns directly.

Originally, they thought that they could see the picture of the weaving workshop in the country of silk, with dozens of embroidery girls sitting in a large room. All the people in it lowered their heads, concentrated on using various techniques, flying the needles and threads in their hands, and completed the beautiful and bright silks. But the reality is completely different from what you imagined.

There is no doubt that the other party has made more progress in the process of making silk! However, this does not explain that what is displayed in the workshop has nothing to do with the traditional silk craftsmanship of the Silk Country. So thought to themselves.

However, compared to the other three men, the princess of Xindu, who was more familiar with making silk, had her eyes fixed not on a jacquard machine, but on a much smaller silk reeling enchanting machine.

The process of silk reeling and dyeing, even if Princess Xindu did not operate it herself, is also well understood. But what I saw in front of me seemed to be true, and the steps I was familiar with were completely different.

What is especially special is that the cocoon used to draw silk is not the same as the thumb-sized cocoon that I am familiar with. The goose-egg-sized, golden thing is a cocoon?

The princess of Xindu is no longer with a calm expression. She couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and moved forward.
