At the beginning of September, ships came back with the first batch of coal.

In fact, when coal was first discovered, there were more and more people in the city, but there was no such large transportation as this time.

Many people are speculating that this is for the cold season.

After all, after using coal, everyone knows that it is more resistant to burning than firewood and charcoal, and is more suitable for use in the cold season.

However, waiting, waiting, never waiting for a large amount of charcoal to be sold, but instead transported more than half of it into the scientific research institute, and the rest was stored in the warehouse.

Everyone talked about it, speculating about what the scientific research institute was going to do, and it needed so much coal.

No matter how much you guess, no one has come forward to explain. The Court of Arbitration and the institutions seemed to be unaware of what the people were saying, and everyone was silent.

Lin Yan and most of the people in the scientific research institute plunged headlong into the improvement of the steam engine, and had no time to care about everything outside.

The months of hard work paid off, and the original automatic spinning machine was no longer visible. In its place are the finely crafted, spectacular-looking big guys. The efficiency has increased by more than ten times.

This new automatic spinning machine can replace 20 manual spinning machines.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the coal to come back and burn and let this spinning machine move.

On September 5, many people from the scientific research institute, as well as four arbitrators, gathered to witness the arrival of this moment.

I saw the coal burning, the huge but incomparably fine spinning machine running automatically, and the clumps of cotton quickly turning into threads.

Everyone present was shocked that such a miracle was real.

Bai Yun's eyes widened, and at this moment, she finally understood what Ah Lan said lastly, "Lin Yan, they are people who can create miracles. ”

If not, how can we explain the scene in front of us? Bai Yun looked at the threads reverently, and his trembling hand touched it gently, for fear that his strength would pierce this amazing picture.

The automatic spinning machine seems to be tireless, running non-stop, completely ignoring the mood of the onlookers.

Except for Lin Yan, who was quite calm, everyone else was very excited, witnessing this scene with their own eyes, which caused a great impact.

Calm as Bai Chen and Shi Zhi, they also lost their previous composure at this moment. Even though it had been conceived for a long time, it was still shocked when it became a reality.

After a long time, Lin Yan broke the silence of this moment.

"This is the automatic spinning machine, which is carefully developed by the scientific research institute. As you can see, it's powerful and efficient. This is just the beginning, next year our looms will be the same, and more machines will be born in the future, such as automatic threshers, etc. ”

"With such spinning machines and looms, as long as there is enough energy and raw materials, you can do as much thread and cloth as you want. Without having to waste a lot of manpower on spinning and weaving, these people can do other things and create greater value. Therefore, the research investment of the scientific research institute is bound to be very large, and the arbitrator is also requested to give more consideration and support. ”

The people of the scientific research institute seemed to be bewitched, and stared at the four arbiters in unison.

Bai Yun and the others instantly felt great pressure, who could withstand such blazing eyes.

Minglan pretended to be calm and said, "We still need to negotiate this matter." However, automatic spinning machines have opened up new frontiers, and I personally support them. ”

Fenghua calmed down the excitement in his heart and asked: "Have you calculated the development cost of the automatic textile machine, and how much money did it cost?" ”

This sentence is to the point, automatic spinning machines are very good, but if the cost is too high, it is unbearable.

Lin Yan was prepared and took out his notebook, "Here are all the materials used and the cost of the automatic textile machine are recorded. Since it was the first time to do it, it was inevitable that there would be some waste, and the total cost was forty-three yuan and five jiao. ”

"It's too expensive to build." Bai Yun was taken aback, more than forty yuan is a sky-high price, and an ordinary person's annual income has just reached five yuan, which is money without deducting daily expenses.

Lin Yan said unhurriedly: "It is normal for the first time to invest heavily in research and development. If you do it later, the cost will be almost half of the cost. If you make it in large quantities, the cost can be reduced. Compared with the cost input, automatic textile machines create higher efficiency. It can replace more than 20 people, saving labor costs. In this way, it is more cost-effective than the original textile machine. ”

Fenghua nodded, "That's true. The long-term use of automatic textile machinery must be more efficient than artificial textile machines, save costs and create more value. However, with our current financial situation, there are too many places to spend money, and the amount of money that can be spent on research institutes is limited. ”

"I understand. The annual R&D investment of scientific research institutes has accounted for a large proportion, and we can take our time. Lin Yan smiled, "We just want everyone to see these research results, which will bring greater convenience." In the future, it can support the development of scientific research institutes for a long time. I hope that the Court of Arbitration will give more consideration and support. ”

Minglan nodded, "We all understand what you said, we still need to calculate in detail, and the alliance's taxes can't all be used in scientific research institutes." ”

Black Soil: "Most of the tax revenue is used to pay the salaries of civil servants and soldiers, and the amount that can be used in scientific research institutes is indeed limited. If the scientific research institute wants to develop rapidly, it also needs to bear part of the cost by itself. ”

Lin Yan nodded, "This is natural, the scientific research institute has always borne part of the cost independently, and the transfer and sale of technological achievements is a large part." In addition to the financial handover, the rest is invested in new research and development. ”

Regarding the issue of R&D expenses, the arbitration court still needs to discuss before giving a result, Lin Yan understands that this is a normal process, and does not force it, but first reminds the four arbitrators to let them consider the scientific research institute more.

After sending off the four Baiyun people, Ye Cong hurriedly said, "Do we have to wait for the loom to be studied?" ”

After the textile machine was ready, they put their energy into the loom, and they were also preparing to build a machine that could spin and weave cloth at the same time.

There are too many plans in the future, and if you don't have money, it's all a fantasy.

Shi Zhi was very calm, "What are you waiting for, there is no financial support, we rely on ourselves." We sold the textile machine and cooperated with the spinning mill and the weaving mill, so that they could pay for our research and development. Anyway, the spinning mill and the weaving mill are the final beneficiaries of the R&D results. ”

"That's a way to do it." Lin Yan agreed, "Not only that, but we can also cooperate with wood factories and metal processing factories to allow them to process parts and components for mutual benefit." There are so many factories, there are always a few who are willing to invest money in us. It's really not good, there are still banks here, you can take out loans. In short, research can't stop, don't worry about money. ”

With Lin Yan's assurance, everyone else was full of confidence. has just made a little achievement, and when they are full of confidence and ready to show their strength, there is no money as if a basin of cold water is poured on their heads.

The success of the automatic textile machine soon spread in Sun City. The rumors are becoming more and more outrageous, and the words are so miraculous that they have aroused strong curiosity among the people.

Countless people came to the scientific research institute to see the real and fake, but unfortunately they were all rejected.
