"I plan to use the water element as a new driving energy to build several large textile machines, just like the ones I saw used by the textile ladies when I patrolled the royal city."
Xu Erniang's dark pupils lit up, and Xu Yue felt that the world in front of her also lit up. Dots of blue starlight waved out from the hands of the girl in front of her, and an illusory picture appeared in front of her.
It was a tireless loom that was always in motion. It was about three to four meters high and two to three meters wide.
No one works, just put the material on the machine, and it will spit out strips of beautiful brocade.
The long brocade covers the grass, flows through the river, and flies into the sky, stretching its beautiful body to its fullest.
Xu Yue swallowed hard, and felt that the image of the girl in front of her in her heart was much taller, and she could even see the holy light of the past in her.
The scroll disappeared in an instant. Xu Erniang turned around, squatted slightly, looked into her sister's eyes, and asked confidently:
"what do you think?"
Xu Yue nodded numbly, "Very good, but I'm afraid, sister, you will be regarded as a monster."
"Monster?" Xu Erniang shook her head. She disagreed, "How could it be a monster? This is obviously faith, my goddess of light~"
She made another prayer-like gesture on her chest, then held her heart in her hands, looked out the window at the gray sky with falling snow, and lowered her noble head piously.
Xu Yue: Clearly a magic stick!
But looking at my sister's appearance, I'm afraid the idea of making a magic loom has been brewing in my heart for a long time.
It was definitely impossible to stop him, so Xu Yue could only tell her sister not to be too scary.
Xu Erniang patted her sister's little head and comforted her: "Don't worry, you won't scare anyone to death."
It will just make you faint!
It was a cold morning, and Ma Guifang got up from the warm kang early.
She first skillfully put on a cashmere sweater and a windproof coat, then woke up her husband and son who were still curled up on the kang and sleeping soundly. Then she quickly finished washing and went to the textile shop that had just been moved to the pond.
The factory trotted all the way past.
It dawned late in winter, and she accidentally overstayed her welcome last night, so she woke up late in the morning.
Afraid of being late, I changed from trotting to running fast.
When people run, the heat rises. Although the winter snow is freezing, it is not that difficult.
Seeing that the textile factory was not far ahead, and there were no other female workers around who had arrived earlier than herself, Ma Guifang breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down and walked in.
However, before she could take a deep breath, she heard the "clang" sound of the loom operating inside.
Ma Guifang was suddenly shocked. Someone actually came earlier than she did. Her position as second captain was about to be lost!
Uneasy and somewhat inquisitive, I quickly walked in and walked around the spinning area filled with cashmere, but I didn't find anyone.
But the strange thing is that the textile machine that the second lady just ordered the workers to set up yesterday is actually moving!
The newly built textile factory is several times larger than the original small house. In the empty factory, there is only one tall textile machine, which is being operated automatically by no one, making a "clang, clang, clang" sound.
Moreover, in the cloth output area, pieces of velvet cloth woven with wool kept spitting out, and soon fell to the ground and piled up in a pile.
Ma Guifang rubbed her eyes hard, feeling that she was still asleep and was confused.
However, when she opened her eyes, the loom was still spitting out cloth.
"Oh my god, it's so fucking bloody!"
Ma Guifang wailed, sat down on the ground, rolled her eyes, kicked her legs, and fainted from fright.
"Huh?" Xu Erniang, who was sitting above the loom and was blocked by a wooden frame, heard the sound, raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and poked her head out from behind the wooden frame.
Ma Guifang fell to the ground and finally woke up from the fright. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a red figure who didn't know whether it was a ghost or a demon. She was immediately heartbroken and fainted again.
Xu Erniang blinked her big eyes innocently, looked at the loom under her body that was already spitting out cloth under the blessing of water magic, and then looked at Ma Guifang who had fainted on the ground, and shrugged speechlessly.
Female workers came in one after another. Maybe they were daring because of the large number of people. In addition, Xu Erniang had already jumped off the loom and pointed at the water raft on the other side of the pond to let everyone know that she was not the one who was doing the loom.
It doesn't move, but it moves when it is driven by water.
Therefore, although all the female workers were still shocked for a long time, no one fainted again.
After Ma Guifang woke up and listened to Xu Erniang's explanation, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but cry out in grievance.
However, after they finished crying and wiped away their tears, all the female workers immediately entered a crazy state of racing against the loom.
However, forty of them were twisting thread at the same time, but they still could not outrun the high-speed spinning loom that was constantly spitting out cloth.
By mid-afternoon, all the wool twisted by the female workers and the previously stored threads had been woven by the loom.
With ready-made cloth, female workers only need to cut it and sew it with crochet or use needle and thread to process it with other linen cloth to make ready-made clothes, which greatly saves time.
When they were off work in the evening, Ma Guifang and others were so shocked that they could not recover for a long time as they looked at the ready-made clothes piled up in the racks.
It’s like I can’t believe that I can actually make the same number of garments in one day as I did in the previous four or five days.
"This, this is too fast." Ma Guifang murmured in surprise: "I made a hundred pieces of clothing in one day today. How much money would I make if I replaced it with silk or silk cloth?"
As I said this, I couldn't help but use the elementary mathematics I learned in night school to do some mental calculations with my fingers.
The wool is thick and the fabric is long. If you change it to hemp thread, you can weave... ten pieces a day?
Ma Guifang didn't dare to forget it, but the conservative number of ten horses was already beyond her original knowledge.
Moreover, the width of the second lady’s loom is more than twice as wide as the normal standard. If you calculate it this way, wouldn’t you get twenty pieces?
Xu Erniang inserted wood chips into the water belt to block the water flow, stopped the loom, walked out and said with a smile:
"Ten horses? Too few. Twenty or thirty horses are about the same."
Twenty or thirty pieces of cloth more than three feet (one meter) wide?
Ma Guifang swallowed hard and looked at the huge textile machine. Her knees softened and she really knelt down.
"Second Miss, could it be that Lei Zu appeared in this world and a deity descended to earth?"
Even before natural science classes were taught in night school, myths and superstitions were still deeply rooted in people's hearts. When they encountered something beyond their knowledge and understanding, they would habitually attach it to the illusory gods and ghosts.
Xu Erniang raised her lips, smiled mysteriously, and said without explanation:
"This is faith."
The female workers looked at her retreating figure and knelt down with a thump and a thump, muttering softly:
"On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the faithful women will offer grains and livestock as offerings to the goddess. They only hope that the goddess will take pity on her and bless her family with food, clothing, and good harvests every year..."
After school was over, Xu Yue finally had time to run to her sister and prepare to take a look at the magic loom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the factory gate, I saw a group of female workers kneeling on the ground, praying to their sisters with pious expressions on their faces. I was stunned.
Xu Erniang proudly spread her hands: "There is no way, this is the power of faith."
Xu Yue: "..."
I'm so stupid.
But from this we can also predict how powerful the newly built loom is.
After Ma Guifang and other female workers returned, Xu Erniang took Xu Yue to see the magic loom at full power.
The loom that uses the water magic array to operate is as fast as modern machinery. If the construction materials were not crude, the speed would be even faster.
