Seeing Director Zhu's disappointed face, Li Yi smiled: "What?" Do you think you can make a Transformer?

This is a loom, not a precision machine, and the real technology is still in the weaver's head.

This flower building machine is just an extension of the weaver's limbs, and there is no way to automatically weave cloud brocade. ”

Director Zhu naturally understood this truth, he smiled awkwardly and explained: "I thought it would be more... Spectacular. ”

"Isn't that spectacular enough?"

Li Yi pointed to the jacquard machine and said with a confident smile: "Don't look at this flower machine looks simple, but the cloud brocade it weaves can't be woven by the most sophisticated machines, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it, of course I believe it!"

The more confident Li Yi became, the happier Director Zhu became, he nodded again and again, and then asked, "How long will it take to weave samples?" ”

There are less than five days left before the opening of the World Heritage Conference, and if you don't submit the relevant materials to the organizing committee before the opening of the conference, you can only watch the neon country snatch Yunjin away.

Li Yi didn't answer, but asked him, "Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?" ”

"It's ready, it's already unloaded in the warehouse next door."

Director Zhu took Li Yi to the warehouse next door, and pointed to the cardboard boxes on the two pallets: "It's all here, gold wire, silver wire, copper wire, as well as silk, silk silk, peacock feathers, in addition to these, there are also stocks, you need to transport them at any time." ”

Li Yi stepped forward to check it, and after seeing the rolls of three-color gold threads neatly arranged according to the size, as well as the colored silk threads and peacock feathers, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Samples will be available within 3 days."

Li Yi turned around and said something to Director Zhu, and then added: "But now I want to eat, take a bath, and rest first." ”

These days, although Li Yi seems to be staying in the workshop, he has actually been in the dream space for nearly a year.

This Jacquard machine is already the version that he has overturned more than a dozen versions and finally decided.

Although it seems simple, it can indeed weave cloud brocade.

In the past ten days, Li Yi has spent a lot of energy.

And weaving cloud brocade is a very brain-consuming thing, and it is an extremely time-consuming job.

Because it takes two people to operate the Jacquard floor machine, and the efficiency is very slow.

Although Li Yi installed a connecting rod and could use his extraordinary strength to forcibly control this Hualou machine alone, he could only weave five or six centimeters of cloud brocade a day.

Therefore, if he wants to weave enough cloud brocade, he still has to use the time acceleration function in the space of the eight-sided tablet.

"You work harder, it's almost too late."

Director Zhu begged him, but Li Yi ignored it, and after eating the food cooked by Master Zhou, he went to take a shower, returned to the simple bed set up in the workshop, and fell asleep.

Director Zhu didn't dare to urge him, so he could only stay at the door and ask the owner of the processing plant to stop work in advance, so as not to affect Li Yi's rest.

Then, he moved a stool and sat at the door of the workshop in person, waiting for Li Yi to get up.

Li Yi slept until nine o'clock the next day before waking up.

A night's deep sleep regained a lot of energy and left him feeling refreshed.

But after he went out, he saw Director Zhu, whose eyes were bloodshot, nodding his head at the door like a chicken.

Seeing this, Li Yi knew that he had guarded himself all night, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Li Yi knew that Director Zhu had something on his mind, so he couldn't sleep.

So, Li Yi said to him who stood up when he heard the sound but almost fell: "You go back and sleep peacefully!" I'm counting the time, and I won't waste time. ”

But Director Zhu insisted on refusing to go back, and just returned to the car.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't care about him, just finished eating by himself, and let people transport all the raw materials into the workshop.

After closing the door, Li Yi put down the tarpaulin hanging on the ceiling of the workshop, covering the jacquard machine and the raw materials below.

Then, he took a chair, lifted the tarp and got in.

After a while, he returned to the eight-sided tablet space with the jacquard machine and raw materials.

After skillfully speeding up the opening time, he started to prepare the raw materials.

Yunjin brocade can be roughly divided into four categories: satin, brocade, makeup, and gold.

What Li Yi wants to weave is the most complex makeup brocade.

Makeup brocade is the culmination of silk weaving technology, combining the essence of all silk weaving techniques from ancient times to the present.

The flower-digging technique it uses is derived from the weaving skills that appeared during the Warring States period in which Pingnu lived, as well as the silk of the Tang and Song dynasties in later generations.

It uses colored velvet as the weft, which is also derived from the velvet brocade technique of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

There is also a style of using a large number of gold wires, which is also a tradition handed down from the Yuan Dynasty to weave gold brocade.

And its large pattern is improved from the original jacquard technology of Xiaohualou.

When weaving, it needs to use a unique process of "warp and weft breaking, digging flower disc weaving, and flower by flower and different color".

That is, according to the actual needs, weave colored weft threads in the same shuttle in the weft direction.

This step not only tests the experience and skills of the weaver, but also has certain requirements for imagination and aesthetics.

It can even be said that the weaving of this kind of makeup brocade is more like the process of artistic creation, which basically cannot be replaced by machines, and can only be carried out by manpower.

Makeup brocade can also be divided into makeup satin, makeup Luo, makeup yarn, makeup flower and so on.

Generally, the makeup brocade highlights the five-color pattern on the satin bottom at most, but what Li Yi plans to weave is a nine-color brocade.

To be precise, it should be called [Weaving Gold Peacock Feather Nine-color Makeup Yarn].

He would use three-color gold, that is, gold, silver and copper silk threads, as well as five-color silk, as well as colored velvet wrapped with peacock feathers, a total of nine different colors of raw materials to weave this makeup yarn cloud brocade.

Before weaving, the first thing he had to do was to make peacock feather down.

The so-called peacock feather color down is to wrap the brightest green feathers on the peacock's tail feathers on the copper wire, so that it becomes an emerald green silk thread.

This step was time-consuming, and it took Li Yi three days to finish the peacock feather down to be used.

Without wasting time, he prepared the raw materials, sat down under the loom and began weaving.

Although theoretically, the flower floor machine must have a weaver and a flower puller, and two people can cooperate at the same time to weave.

But that's because the flower floor machine is too big and the silk thread is too long, and the weaver can't climb up and down to lift the warp, so he can only find a flower puller to help.

However, Li Yi added two connecting rods, and he only needed to pull down hard, and he could lift the warp up through the principle of leverage.

The weight of the connecting rod is not light, coupled with the elastic force of the taut gold thread, if it were not for Li Yi's strengthened body, it might not be able to pull it.

Therefore, this flower building machine can only be played by a strange player like Li Yi at present.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the anxious waiting of Director Zhu, the time came to the afternoon of November 13th.

The closed door of the workshop opened, and when he heard the movement, Director Zhu jumped up directly.

Before it was dinner time, Li Yi appeared, and he naturally knew what it meant.

When he saw Li Yi who appeared at the door, and the scroll that Li Yi was holding in his hand, reflecting the glittering brilliance of the fine brocade under the sunset, his howl even frightened Xiao Zhao on the side, and almost thought that the processing plant had entered a wolf.

"Yunjin!"
