"What's a Jacquard?"
"What is this Jacquard Jacker?”
"Should I know or not?”
"Ever since I followed this post, the first thing I don't understand has appeared!”
"Don't worry, there will be more things that you don't understand later!”
It seemed that Li Ke wasn't the only one who hadn't heard of the Jacquard machine. Many of the netizens below the post didn't know about it either.
"In fact, the efficiency of the old-fashioned handmade Jacquards was very low. It was only until the Jacquard Jacquard machine appeared that the efficiency of weaving patterns was greatly improved!”
"You should really understand the principle of the Jacquard Jacquard loom. It will be of great help to you in your cloth business after you transmigrate!”
"At that time, after Jacquard invented the Jacquard machine, the Gallic Chicken Emperor, Napoleon, who was passionate about technology and industry, especially praised the inventor Jacquard!”
"And allow him to draw patent tax from the profits of every Jacquard loom produced!”
"Let me tell you something cold. The card punching of the Jacquard loom was actually the earliest programming. The birth of the first computer was inspired by the Jacquard card punching!”
"Do you know about the iPhone company? The first thing that made the company's fortune was a 'tabulating machine' made from punched cards.”
"It can be said that Jacquard's punched cards not only brought about a revolution in the textile industry, but also opened the door to information control for mankind!”
Looking at everyone's comments and discussions, especially at the end, Li Ke's eyes revealed a deep sense of surprise.
After he had figured out the principle behind the card punching, he had felt that it was a bit like programming.
However, he had never expected that this card punching was actually the ancestor of computer programming!
"Good heavens, it's a good thing I noticed the previous reply. Otherwise, I would have missed a big fish!”
At this moment, Li Ke felt lucky. Fortunately, he had good eyesight and noticed the previous reply.
If he hadn't noticed that after he transmigrated, he would have been dumbfounded when he received the cloth that needed to be woven with different colors and patterns.
After discussing for a while, the topic gradually shifted to food.
"Actually, regarding food, it can be summarized in seven words. It's nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea!”
"People have to start a fire to cook. If they want firewood, they have to go to the forest to cut firewood. Those who live in the city have to buy firewood that others have cut.”
"However, firewood burns with a lot of smoke. Moreover, manual chopping is time-consuming and laborious. The cost of burning firewood is also high. In addition, excessive chopping will reduce the number of trees and affect the environment and ecology.”
"Therefore, if you can make honeycomb briquettes and add coal stoves, you can solve the problem of burning firewood and form a coal industry. The profits will be high!”
"Starting a fire is also a problem. The people of the Great Tang usually use flint to start a fire, but it's too troublesome and inefficient.”
Li Ke looked at everyone's heated discussion and pondered as he watched.
Someone was right. Food was actually firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea!
These seven words almost covered the areas related to diet in people's daily lives.
It could be said that as long as these seven words were solved, there would basically be no problems in his diet and life.
Then, he saw everyone's discussion and suggestions about Chai.
In ancient times, cooking was indeed done by burning firewood. After all, there was no natural gas in ancient times.
Moreover, people at that time did not have the technology to deal with the impurities in the coal, so the coal could not be used in the fire.
If he could figure out how to clean the coal and how to make the honeycomb briquettes, he would be able to make the honeycomb briquettes more than a thousand years in advance after transmigrating!
At that time, people would not need to chop wood to cook. They could just use honeycomb briquettes!
Compared to firewood, honeycomb briquettes had many advantages.
It was more convenient, safer, and the size of the fire could be controlled.
Most importantly, for the city dwellers who found it inconvenient to chop firewood, the price of honeycomb briquettes would definitely be lower than buying ready-made firewood!
It was easy to use and cheap!
One could imagine that once the honeycomb briquettes were launched, there would definitely be a very large market.
As for the cost of honeycomb briquettes, it mainly came from the raw material coal.
If it was in the modern era, he would either spend a huge sum of money to contract a coal mine and mine it himself.
Or they could directly buy the mined coal and make it into honeycomb briquettes.
However, all of this had a cost, and it was not low!
What happened after he transmigrated?
He was the respected Prince of the Great Tang, the Third Prince of the Emperor!
The entire world belonged to the Li family. Which coal mine did he not buy for 0 yuan?
As long as he remembered the location of the large and small coal mines before he transmigrated, he could make these coal mines his own in minutes.
Even if some of the coal mines had owners, there were plenty of them in his memory, enough for him to use.
Therefore, to him, the cost of honeycomb briquettes was very low. He could definitely sweep the market at an extremely low price!
Someone even mentioned the match, and this idea made Li Ke's eyes light up.
The ancients used flint to start a fire. They used a piece of flint and a piece of metal to knock and collide with each other to produce sparks and then start a fire.
However, this method of starting a fire was too inefficient and troublesome.
Even if he couldn't start a fire with a lighter like now, he should at least use a match!
He took out a matchstick and lightly scratched the matchbox. The flames started to burn with a bang.
Wasn't this method of starting a fire fragrant?
He didn't even need to think about it. As long as he made a match in Tang, it would definitely be a product with explosive sales!
