The reason why the printing press was handed over to the craftsmen of the Technical Guild was because Lin originally planned to disclose this knowledge and protect his own interests as much as possible. In addition to establishing his academic status, it also accelerated the knowledge of the mysterious land.
Spread the idea.
The reason why the jacquard machine is made by himself is partly because he wants to keep this knowledge secret, whether it is the method of making silk or the jacquard machine technology that is partly from the earth and has been modified by himself.
On Earth, it is true that the ignition of the first industrial revolution was the steam engine; but what really drove the industrial revolution to start a prairie fire was the light industry, mainly textiles. The former was just an improvement in technology, but the latter was clearly something that could be used more
Faster, easier way to earn money in the industry.
Lin didn't want to let his money-making skills go to waste without any reward. Do you really think he came across time to save sentient beings?
On the one hand, the jacquard machine still needs to be developed and improved. It is not like the original Manroland printing machine that can be used immediately as soon as it is produced.
Since they still need to be modified, instead of wasting time communicating with the craftsmen and asking them to modify or make new parts. The things they make may not meet your requirements, and if they are not done well, you will need to rework them. It is better to do it yourself and get it right the first time.
The designer of the automatic control program of the jacquard machine is of course Fen. As the automated system that originally led the peaceful arming of the Silverbeard Dwarves, Lich has been more slippery than anyone else in this aspect. Including induction, feedback, and automatic judgment, she has done all
A set of judgment logic has been established. As long as she confirms which actual situation is applicable, she can immediately propose a solution.
The most attentive girl, Kaya, is responsible for a new job, which is also a very important job. In the craftsmanship of Sichuan brocade, there are so-called dotting and knotting work. That is to put the painted pattern into shape.
, the pattern-making process is converted into a weaving process. Moreover, for this work, Lin is not satisfied with the hand-made pattern book similar to the Shu Brocade process, but wants to program it.
This involves analyzing the picture, pixelating it, and converting it into the longitude and latitude relationships of silk threads. And because someone not only wants to make repetitive, symmetrical patterns, but intends to use the brocade cloth as a painting, it is also necessary to add color
Analysis, usage estimation, etc.
The most troublesome thing is the expression of gradient colors. For this reason, Lin taught girls to use the color enhancement concept of three primary colors and four primary colors, that is, densely arranging silk threads of different colors according to different quantities, which can give people a new color vision.
But giving such advice seems to make it more difficult for the person who makes the machine, because the complexity of the jacquard heddle also increases. However, this also has the advantage of reducing the types of material colors and making more
Color changes.
Of course, these needs are not all decided by someone with a slap on the head. Although it is based on the original Hualou Shu brocade machine, it is also because I know clearly what kind of work I want to complete in the end, so that I can continue to work on it.
Improvement of the original loom.
The research and development of the jacquard machine cannot be said to be smooth or smooth. There are no obstacles or mechanical structures that are difficult to solve during the process. But after one problem is over, another problem will appear. This is almost going to be someone's recent problem.
of daily life.
As long as a new problem arises? In order to solve it, sometimes not only the machine structure needs to be modified, but also Fen's control program needs to be changed accordingly. The most common thing to do is to miniaturize the original structure and increase the quantity.
For example, the control arm of the jacquard bunch heddle. If you want to make a more detailed pattern, this part will have more complex changes. In order to meet the needs of these changes, the only option is to reduce the number of silk threads in each bunch and increase the number of jacquard bunches.
number.
In order to achieve such a thing? When the number of jacquard arms added laterally cannot be arranged, of course the only way is to reduce the size of the original jacquard arms and reduce the space occupied.
And when you usually have to miniaturize a certain structure? The number of parts will be overwhelming. Fen and Kaya, who joined the research and development of the jacquard machine together, were originally only responsible for the program part. At this time, they will also be overwhelmed.
Pull it down and do the physical modification work together.
The two people who didn't understand why they had to make such a complicated loom were about to be driven crazy by someone. Halumi originally wanted to help? But just looking at the structure of the drawing and the number of modifications needed? The girl immediately retreated. She had to use it.
Going to raise silkworms and reel silk? He also recorded the reasons for the results of silk blending and enchantment, and ran away in despair.
And more importantly, these modifications are far from being finalized, and may be revised at any time. Just when the two women with red eyes were ready to strangle a man to death after working hard for several days, but all the work was wasted.
, Lin decided to turn on the computer and do an actual test.
Although in the process of developing the jacquard machine, we used weaving threads on the market for testing. However, the quality and thickness of those ordinary twine threads are very different from silk threads, so Lin was only used to test the operation of the machine, and not
No piece of cloth is actually woven.
On the other hand, the moth seed formula of the silk thread has not been completely finalized. Now only Hallumi reels the silk to collect data, which is such a piecemeal result. But also because of the accumulation of experiments, the completed silk thread has accumulated a lot.
Small amount.
These silk threads come from different moth species, have uneven quality, and have different enchantment standards. However, they can be considered to meet someone's minimum standards, that is, they are added with protective magic to resist the alien energy of the dimensional gaps. Judging from the weight, it is estimated to be enough to make a brocade.
Pa. So someone randomly found a photo of a sparrow from the photo library and threw it to Kaya for preliminary analysis.
After getting the desired color silk thread, I dyed the thread with the painting dye on the market hastily and put it on the spool of the jacquard machine. The analysis results of the Kaya program were imported into Fen's control program, and the machine quickly started to operate.
I have never thought about replicating the craftsmanship of Shu brocade from the beginning, because the parts disclosed are all traditional hand-made methods. The length of weaving in one day is only a few centimeters, and it will take several years to get the fabrics I need.
Time. This precious thing cannot be used or waited for.
Although I am developing in the direction of automation, and I am completely modifying the jacquard machine regardless of cost. The purpose is to save some time, speed up some speed, so that I can use the materials that I like earlier. So in order to design this
It can be said that Lin tried his best to install an automatic jacquard machine, and made various assumptions about various situations as much as possible, and formulated various response plans.
But no matter what, I am a layman in the textile industry after all. Whether this jacquard machine can be used, whether it can make silk, ultimately depends on the results. And it is not difficult to guess that after the machine is put into trial operation, it will definitely still work.
There will be some problems that were not discovered before. This is the prelude to a major change.
Almost all people who care about silk are standing by the jacquard machine, watching nearly a thousand silk threads gradually being woven into a square handkerchief under the operation of the machine. Especially the sparrow picture selected by Lin, as the shuttle makes a
Silk threads of different colors, interlaced in warp and weft, gradually take shape.
In the meantime, Fen and Lin each went to teach biology and mathematics courses. Finally, after dinner, the weaving of a piece of brocade handkerchief about fifteen centimeters square was completed. It was not finished yet, mainly because the accumulated silk thread was used up.
.The last section was woven in a mess because there were many empty bobbins running around. But at least the sparrow in the center of the brocade handkerchief was finished.
"Is it done?" Halumi asked, squatting by the window and resting her chin on the windowsill.
At this time, Lin was stopping the operation of the jacquard machine and holding scissors, intending to cut off the thread tail of the brocade handkerchief. However, he cut the only scissors at home until the blade collapsed, and he could not cut off the entire flat cable.
.
The three anxious women stretched out their hands and tried to take off the brocade handkerchief. However, the enchanted silk thread was stronger than expected. When Halumi was reeling, most of the thread tails were missing.
After doing more processing, I have never discovered such a feature.
Just when the impatient girl was about to run to get the box cutter and come back to deal with the small brocade handkerchief, Lin took a moment to accurately position it, and used the ability of flash to cut off the space to cut off the piece.
The long-awaited experimental product was in hand.
"How does it feel?" "How is the weaving?" "How is the effect of enchantment?" The three women started with three questions, and then the chatter started like a barrage, with all kinds of weird questions popping up one after another.
But they didn't wait for an answer. Halumi was quick and grabbed the thing first, rubbing it against her face. The special smooth feeling was unmatched by other kinds of fabrics. The blonde girl couldn't help but reveal the brocade handkerchief when she put it against her face.
The look is satisfying and intoxicating. And the pattern part is not like embroidery, which has obvious unevenness.
Since the thing was in the hands of a good sister, Kaya was not polite and took it out. She kept rubbing the palm and back of her hand, feeling the light and soft feel. The brocade handkerchief was so soft that it would not cause any discomfort.
The feeling is completely different from those coarse cloth clothes.
But before Kaya could touch her happily, the lich stretched out his hand, and of course the black-haired and brown-skinned girl offered it to her obediently. Fen rubbed the brocade handkerchief matter-of-factly, looking up and down, as if
He looked very professional. In fact, someone knew that this lich was just pretending.
Midi's silk is completely a seller's market. As long as it is sold, even if it is a defective product with slight traces of insect damage or obvious defects, it will be the target of many women. In this rare situation,
What kind of evaluation can they do? That's a damn thing.
However, this brocade handkerchief confirmed one thing for the three women, that is, homemade silk is really useful. Even their hard work these days is nothing. They all fell into a violent state, preparing to use the power of the machine.
Fully open it, let it play with dozens or hundreds of feet of silk.
