Chapter 137: Hydraulic Loom, Liberate Productivity!

A month later, Hanzhong County.

In the production base outside Hanzhong City, under the guidance of Lin Chuan from time to time and the careful study of Chen Yuan, who was in charge of the workshop, the world's first hydraulic loom was finally born!

The product of the first industrial revolution appeared in this way in the Three Kingdoms period!

Early in the morning, all the craftsmen involved in the manufacture of water-powered looms came to the Hanshui side of the production base to prepare to start assembling water-powered looms.

At this time, under the leadership of Chen Yuan, a group of craftsmen were in full swing, and everyone's hearts were full of excitement.

Before Lin Chuan arrived with Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and Cao Jie, the hydraulic loom was assembled by the Han River.

In addition to Deng Ai and others, there was also Sima Yi who came here with Lin Chuan.

Sima Yi came to Hanzhong to assist Lin Chuan for nearly half a year.

During this half a year, Sima Yi's main job was to help Lin Chuan coordinate with the officials of Hanzhong County and handle basic government affairs.

Sima Yi witnessed the tremendous changes that took place in Hanzhong City in the hands of Lin Chuan in just half a year!

Today, Sima Yi was also invited by Lin Chuan to come here to witness the birth of the hydraulic loom.

"Hanzhong Hou, this thing is the water-powered loom?"

Sima Yi looked at the machine standing by the Han River and asked Lin Chuan.

"Yes, it's a water-powered loom! Chung Tat will later be able to see how efficiently the hydroloom operates. ”

Lin Chuan looked at Chen Yuan and the other craftsmen who were debugging the machine, and replied to Sima Yi.

Not long after, Chen Yuan came to report to Lin Chuan:

"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, the hydraulic loom has been commissioned!"

After Lin Chuan heard Chen Yuan's report, he said with a smile:

"Hard work Master Chen, since the commissioning is completed, start the hydraulic loom and see how efficient this machine really is!"

"Yes, Lord Hanzhong Hou wait a moment!"

Chen Yuan, who took the order, organized craftsmen again, put the waterwheel on the hydraulic loom into the Han water, and put the prepared weaving raw materials into the machine.

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai had already curiously approached the hydraulic loom and curiously observed how the big machine operated.

The flowing river brought up the waterwheel of the hydroloom, and in a squeaky and rubbing sound, the whole hydroloom was finally running!

Seeing the successful operation of the machine, Chen Yuan took the lead in cheering, and the rest of the craftsmen also cheered.

Lin Chuan looked at the excited craftsmen and knew how hard they were working day and night, so after the craftsmen calmed down a little, he said loudly:

"The successful manufacture and operation of the hydraulic loom is indispensable, and all of you are rewarded!"

"Lord Xie Hanzhonghou!"

Chen Yuan bowed down first to thank him, and the rest of the craftsmen also shouted: "Lord Xie Hanzhong!"

After a moment of cheering, the crowd carefully observed the operation of the hydraulic loom again.

Lin Chuan also saw for the first time how the real hydraulic loom worked, in fact, for him, the first industrial revolution was as far away as the Three Kingdoms.

In the eyes of everyone, the water-powered loom has already woven half a piece of cloth in just about half an hour!

In the Han Dynasty, a piece of cloth was ten zhang long, twenty-three meters long, and half a piece of cloth was eleven and a half meters!

The amazing efficiency of the water-powered loom made everyone present except Lin Chuan exclaim:

"This water-powered loom is so magical, it can weave a batch of cloth in an hour!"

"And as long as the machine doesn't break, it can run day and night!"

"Twelve pieces of cloth can be woven in that day!"

Even the craftsmen involved in the manufacture could not have imagined that the efficiency of this hydraulic loom would be so high!

Nowadays, the weaver who uses a single spindle spinning wheel can only weave a zhang of cloth a day with the most ingenious ingenuity, and the water-powered loom can weave a piece of cloth in an hour!

Sima Yi looked at the loom in front of him, and silently calculated in his heart, and was shocked to realize that the output of this hydraulic and hydraulic loom in one day can withstand one hundred and twenty weavers weaving cloth for a day!

"Hanzhong Hou, this water-powered loom is really ingenious!"

Sima Yi, who was shocked by the efficiency of the water-powered loom, stared at the water-powered loom running in front of him with bright eyes, and said to Lin Chuan.

Chen Yuan also exclaimed in amazement:

"This is the ingenuity of the immortal family! The Marquis of Hanzhong is not under Lu Ban! ”

"When Lu Ban saw the water-powered loom invented by the Hou of Hanzhong, he also had to worship the Hou of Hanzhong as a teacher on the spot!"

The rest of the craftsmen have already admired Lin Chuan.

In the hearts of the craftsmen in the production base, Lin Chuan not only provided them with good living conditions, but also led them to make a series of products that are beneficial to the people, such as red bricks, cement and water-powered looms.

"Mr. Lin is really the reincarnation of a god!"

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

In the hearts of the craftsmen, Lin Chuan's status has surpassed that of the ancestor Lu Ban and has become a fairy-like figure.

Lin Chuan was now immune to everyone's crazy worship of himself, and he already had a more long-term plan in his heart.

"Now that the hydraulic loom has been built and the cement road is about to connect the entire nine counties of Hanzhong County, my business plan should be ready to be implemented before the autumn harvest this year."

Lin Chuan thought silently in his heart.

It was noon, and more than two hours had passed from the morning when the hydraulic loom was assembled to the time the machine was running.

There is nothing abnormal in the operation of the hydraulic loom, and the parts made of solid wood are produced on an assembly line, and each component has a unified standard, and it is very easy to replace.

Lin Chuan and the others found that the hydraulic loom was running normally, so they prepared to return to the Hou Mansion of Hanzhong.

Before returning home, Lin Chuan called Chen Yuan again to advise.

"Master Chen, there is no problem with the manufacture and operation of the hydraulic loom, you and everyone have worked hard for the past month, and the reward I said before will be sent to everyone within three days!"

Lin Chuan first encouraged Chen Yuan and promised that the reward would be issued immediately.

"Xie Hanzhong's reward!"

Chen Yuan hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

After Chen Yuan thanked him, Lin Chuan continued:

"Although the people of Hanzhong County now say that there is enough food to eat, and there are almost no hungry people, I know that some people still froze to death last winter."

Speaking of this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but sigh, in ancient times, whether it was natural or man-made disasters, it was too easy to take the lives of the people.

"Master Chen, in order to prevent the entire Hanzhong County from freezing to death this winter, we will have to work hard to produce water-powered looms."

"Strive to build more than 20 water-powered looms before the autumn harvest!"

Chen Yuan felt the responsibility on his shoulders, and Chen Yuan, who finally showed his strength under Lin Chuan, immediately replied to Lin Chuan:

"Please rest assured that the Marquis of Hanzhong will live up to the trust of the Marquis of Hanzhong!"

After Lin Chuan heard Chen Yuan's assurance, he returned to Hanzhong City with satisfaction.

Chen Yuan summoned all the craftsmen involved in the manufacture of the hydraulic loom and conveyed Lin Chuan's next arrangement, and everyone was suddenly full of enthusiasm again.

In winter, the river freezes and the hydrolooms are unusable, so be sure to produce a batch of hydrolooms and put them into use before the autumn harvest.
