Automatic Weaving Machine
"Oh? An automatic loom?"
Ying Zheng was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was also curious.
The sewing machine he made last time was already very magical. He did not expect the state preceptor to make a textile machine that was even automatic. This was much more advanced than sewing machines.
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng ordered," Send Meng Yi here. I want to go to the Imperial Advisor's Mansion."”
"Okay," Zhao Gao immediately replied.
......
An hour later.
After changing their clothes, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi left Epang Palace.
Meng Yi was already used to His Majesty's sudden summons.
He also understood that such a sudden summon was basically a private visit.
As for the purpose of this visit, it was needless to say that it was to meet the Imperial Advisor at his residence.
However, it had been a long time since Ying Zheng last visited the place in disguise.
Meng Yi could also tell that His Majesty had some troubles with government affairs.
The two of them strolled leisurely all the way to the Imperial Advisor's residence.
Unexpectedly, he did not see Han Cheng.
"Your Majesty, what a coincidence! The owner had just left for the workshop a few minutes ago. Why don't Your Majesty wait in the residence first? Master would probably be back soon.”
The bearded man said to Ying Zheng apologetically.
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi behind him with a surprised expression, as if he was saying,"
Wasn't the workshop in the Grand Tutor's residence?
Why was it set outside again…
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng said,"No need to wait." Do you know where the workshop is? Just bring me there. I also want to see it."
......
The three of them immediately got into the carriage and headed straight for the new workshop.
This workshop was located in a Pear Blossom Alley not far from Yifeng Street.
It was rather remote and not many people came and went.
Fifteen minutes later, the three of them arrived.
The bearded man had been here more than once, so he was familiar with everything. He led Ying Zheng and Meng Yi deep into the alley and into the workshop.
This workshop was rebuilt from four houses. The space was vast, and it was a different world.
There were also more than a dozen guards guarding the place, which was quite strict.
"Looks like this is the Imperial Preceptor's loom workshop.”Ying Zheng thought to himself.
The three of them passed through the courtyard and arrived at the workshop.
More than half of the place was occupied by high-tech machinery.
There were about 30 of them, and they had a complicated structure. They were all white and were emitting a low hum.
Various colored silk thread tissues were distributed in the machine and were guided into the inner shed by these moving mechanisms.
After beating up, these threads formed a delicate and soft fabric. It was continuously drawn out from the outer shed by the scroll mechanism.
Some were plain cloth, and some were colored cloth.
Even pictures and texts could be weaved vividly.
Moreover, the speed at which the cloth was woven was so fast that they could not even see it clearly with their naked eyes!
Looking at these machines, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi were both greatly shocked.
No wonder it was said to be thousands of times faster than manual labor!
The efficiency of a traditional wooden textile machine was like the difference between clouds and mud!
They can't be compared at all
"Your Majesty, General Meng Yi, why are you here?”
In a corner.
Han Cheng had just finished repairing an automatic loom with the Void Engine when he noticed the three people standing at the door.
“........”
Ying Zheng and Meng Yi heard Han Cheng's voice.
Only then did he realize that one of the reasons he came here was to find someone.
"State Preceptor, these looms you've built are so powerful!”
"Even a thousand weaving workshops can't compare to this one!”
Ying Zheng immediately strode towards Han Cheng while praising him.
Meng Yi walked over and bowed respectfully to Han Cheng.
Han Cheng helped Meng Yixu up and reached out to press the start button of the loom. The machine began to operate again.
Han Cheng said without modesty,
"Of course. These looms can spin 4,000 times a minute. After a day of work, the cloth piled up like a mountain. The production efficiency of a manual workshop was incomparable.”
This was because the business of Immortal Qin Clothing Store was too good.
The cloth in the treasury was used up very quickly.
Han Cheng thought of a way to create these high-tech fully automatic looms.
However, Han City had no way to contract the entire industrial chain for the time being.
Therefore, the four women discussed with some workshops that had good quality goods and purchased large quantities of raw materials such as hemp, cotton, and silk every month.
"4,000 times in one minute?"
Ying Zheng and Meng Yi looked at each other.
They didn't have any concept of this.
However, they all knew that this should be a very impressive number.
"Imperial Advisor, I wonder if you can mass produce these looms?" asked Ying Zheng. Or, provide the blueprint? If this thing could work with sewing machines, the garment industry would be completely developed.”
Han Cheng flicked his sleeves and shook his head."I can't mass produce this kind of high-tech. Moreover, even if they had blueprints, with Great Qin's current production standards, they would not be able to produce them.”
If it was a low-end product.
If Great Qin could produce it according to the blueprint, Han City would not be stingy.
However, just as he had said, these high-tech items were things that even he had to spend a lot of effort to create using the Void Engine. At this stage, Great Qin simply could not reach them. It was useless even if he gave him the blueprint.
“.....”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng understood what Han Cheng meant, and he could not help but feel a sense of disparity in his heart.
However, the tables had turned.
Han Cheng continued,
"However, there is a simple steam loom that I can provide the blueprints for.
Although the steam loom was not as advanced as this technology, its production efficiency was hundreds of times higher than that of manual labor.
Moreover, it was cheap to make. He believed that with some effort, he could still develop it.”
