Even if he has the gift of magical simulants, it is impossible to drive the technological development of the entire Merlo Town. He can appropriately use divine simulants to create some things that cannot be produced with existing technology, and at the same time provide these craftsmen with some fantastic ideas.
, and we need to properly correct their mistakes from time to time so that they will not rely too much on themselves, so that we can continuously develop new technologies and products.
"What good news!" Aslan flicked it casually, and the ring-shou knife flew directly back to the original weapon rack.
"We have produced the textile machine you mentioned according to the Lord's wishes, so please come and have a look." Saxon said with great excitement.
Alfonso next to him was confused and didn't know what a loom was, but seeing Aslan's excitement after hearing about the loom made him excited, although he didn't know how excited he was.
What, but if the boss gets excited, it’s okay for him to get excited.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look right away." Aslan pulled Saxon and ran towards the carpentry workshop of the arsenal.
Along the way, Aslan's eyes were full of excitement.
Once the textile machine comes out, Merlo Town will have a real competitive product for the outside world.
Magic lamps, Gauguin shoes and stockings are all high-end luxury goods. Except for the aristocracy, common people cannot afford them. They seem to be extremely profitable, but the market is too small.
But the textile industry is different. It is a leading industry in leap-forward development. Compared with agriculture, industry and mining, it is rarely restricted by natural resources and property rights. In the budding stage of the commodity economy in the Xinuo Continent, the elastic demand for textiles is greater than that for food and
Industrial and mining products.
Moreover, the textile industry can easily form stable production relationships and form economies of scale. The textile industry has a short production cycle and fast capital turnover, so it is relatively easy to accumulate profits.
In today's Xinuo Continent, the main spinning tools are spindles and twisting rods. These are only suitable for spinning flax threads. They have simple structures and very low efficiency.
Therefore, the main cloths in Xinuo Continent today are linen and magic silk.
Needless to say, linen is magic silk, which is made from silk protruded by a monster called cloth silkworm and woven using magic.
In many areas, cloth is even used as currency for trading, which shows its value.
Magic silk is expensive and is mainly used to make magic robes or ceremonial clothes for nobles. On weekdays, the main clothes they wear are linen.
Entering the carpentry workshop, Aslan saw a piece of wooden equipment in the central area. He recognized it as a treadle loom just by looking at it.
Pedal loom is a general name for a loom with a foot pedal to lift the heddle and open the device, which is stepped on by human feet to perform work.
In his previous life, Aslan also relied on this kind of textile machine to produce cloth in the early days. After all, this kind of textile machine could be used by families. In the later period, Aslan had begun to hand over some of the cloth tasks to the public to weave. He only needed to pay the foundry fee.
That’s it.
The loom's use of foot pedals to lift the heddle opening is a major invention in the history of loom development. It uses human feet to step on the work, freeing the weaver's hands from the action of lifting the heddle, so that he can specialize in picking the shuttle and beating up the weft.
Productivity has been greatly improved. Taking the production of plain weave fabrics as an example, it is 20 to 60 times higher than the original loom, and each person can weave 0.3 to 1 meter per hour.
The wife of a worker in the carpentry workshop was called over and began to fiddle with the loom. After a while, she began to work under the guidance of Saxon.
Less than ten minutes after the work started, the woman screamed in surprise.
"This machine is so easy to use and the work efficiency has been greatly improved."
Aslan nodded with satisfaction and immediately made a decision.
"Saxony successfully develops a textile machine and will be rewarded with ten gold coins. All other participants will be rewarded with one gold coin each."
Alfonso's eyes widened immediately, and the carpenters beside him cheered.
Mom sells batches. No wonder I heard people say that the workers in the workshops here in the arsenal are getting more and more generous. It turns out that the source is here.
"Thank you Lord Lord!"
Aslan waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
"How is the output of this textile machine? I want to produce it on a large scale. I need to produce at least a thousand units in the early stage. No, just five hundred units first."
After hearing Aslan's order, Saxon's face was full of solemnity, because the workload was too heavy.
"Lord! With our current scale and speed, even if it is an assembly line operation, we can probably only produce one textile machine per day."
Aslan walked back and forth.
“What about increasing the scale of production?”
Saxon started discussing with several older carpenters and finally came to a conclusion.
"If the scale is doubled, the output can be increased by 1.5 times. If the scale is doubled, the output can be increased by more than three times."
Aslan immediately made a decision and said: "Then expand it four times, which will help solve some employment problems."
Saxon was immediately delighted and quickly agreed.
Today, there are three major workshops in the Merlo Town Arsenal, namely the heavy weapons workshop led by Kahn, the blacksmith workshop led by Greenwa, and the carpentry workshop led by him.
The three workshops are independent of each other and have always competed with each other. In terms of scale, the carpentry workshop is the largest, with a number of hundreds of people. However, it has never had a competitive product. As long as the other two workshops are given a hand, Saxon, who is also a craftsman, can work with them.
I can't even speak forcefully in front of me.
From now on, their words in the carpentry workshop became tougher.
"I saw this at the farm in Kyoto. You can see if it works. You might as well make a sample first." Aslan quickly took out his pen and started drawing, and a simple drawing appeared in front of Saxon.
That is a windmill. This thing has begun to become popular on the farms around Kyoto. It is estimated that it will take some time for it to spread here.
The purpose of Aslan asking Saxon to make it is very simple. While practicing his skills, he can also understand the importance of kinetic energy transmission and pave the way for future water energy machines.
Saxon carefully read the drawings and asked questions without moving. Aslan also explained it to her very seriously. After finally understanding its meaning, he carefully put it away.
"I promise you won't disappoint the lord! It's just that there are some things here that cannot be completed by our carpenter workshop. We may need help from the other two workshops."
"I will give orders to the two workshops and ask them to cooperate with you. This windmill is beneficial to the country and the people and must not be delayed."
Aslan said seriously.
Saxony pledged more firmly and seriously.
Aslan left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he went to the blacksmith shop and happened to see that the ring-head knife had been put into production, with a satisfied smile on his face.
At the same time, the task of the windmill was also handed over.
