Chapter 181 Jacquard Machine

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The weather is good today, and Yunyao asked Mowu to transport some wood back to prepare to open the kiln for burning charcoal. In order to increase the temperature of the blast furnace, Yunyao had already started making charcoal.

    Charcoal is a fuel obtained after incomplete combustion of wood. It has a wide range of uses. The most important thing is to make bronze as a fuel. Because the moisture in the wood has evaporated in advance, it burns at a higher temperature than the wood.  There have been charcoal makers since the Shang Dynasty, and Yunyao also followed the example and quickly produced high-quality charcoal.

    Next, Yunyao needs to refine a batch of bronze vessels, mainly bronze parts, to be used to transform textile machines, because the golden silk she has saved for five years is almost ready for weaving.

    But golden silk is different from ordinary silk. It is very tough and cannot be processed by ordinary wooden looms, so bronze parts must be used in key parts to strengthen the loom.  So Yunyao directly transformed the loom into a jacquard machine, allowing the loom to weave wider and longer cloth and weave complex patterns.

    Golden silk is difficult to process, and it is not a material for mortals to use, but Yunyao always wants to challenge it with mortal abilities without overestimating his abilities.

    There is a small weaving machine in the fief, which can only weave less than three feet wide. Although it is usually sufficient, it cannot process golden cicada silk.

    "The width has to be increased to one foot." It will be expanded three times in one go. The larger the loom, the heavier it is. The heavier the loom, the greater the wear, so the key parts must be replaced with bronze.

    Looms were a heavy industry in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was already very good to have one in the Yunyao fief. It would take at least another thousand years for men to farm and women to weave. By then, looms would be available in every household, and the advanced jacquard opportunities would be even more exaggerated.  , prepare a room specifically for installation and use.

    The one-foot-wide jacquard machine has surpassed the level of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Of course, the principle has not changed, it is larger and can weave more patterns.

    This first loom in the Western Zhou Dynasty started with burning charcoal. After Yunyao drew a few design drawings of stone slabs, she finally began to miss paper.

    But forget about making paper, don¡¯t waste wood.

    Yunyao continued to work enthusiastically with Yeren, and Yeren was also happy to help Yunyao with things. Not only did he get paid, but he also learned knowledge.  They have a deep understanding of the importance of learning. They can learn things that they originally did not know through learning. If they learn, they can live a better life.

    Yunyao wears a long linen skirt and a deerskin apron. Her long hair is combed into a bun and fixed on the top of her head with a wooden hairpin. Her wide sleeves are tied with cloth belts, and her jade arms can move freely.

    ??Eighteen years old, as white as snow, as beautiful as a picture, but still very down-to-earth, he led the savages to work. He built earthen kilns and blast furnaces, but the small fief was complete with everything except building a towering city wall.

    After Xiao Guo on the south bank accumulated food, he organized people to build the city wall and built an earthen wall more than two meters high to prevent wild beasts and little monsters.

    The Zhu family¡¯s fiefdom on the north bank is still a fence. Although it is repaired and maintained every year, it is indeed more vulnerable than the earthen city wall on the south bank.  In addition, there was more and more food in the granary. Uncle Zai had long proposed to build the wall, but Yunyao knew that the wall would have to be demolished sooner or later, because Yunyao knew that in a few years the population of the fief would decrease.  More and more people are building the city wall, which will definitely cause congestion. It is better to develop and delay the construction of the wall first. Anyway, their fief is protected by monks.

    After burning the charcoal, the savages would take the finely chopped charcoal home for use, which was not a waste at all.

    While building the jacquard machine, Yunyao also considered the weaving of gold silk and wanted to dye it.  Because they are not just for themselves, the golden silkworms brought back by the black bird produce a lot of silk, and there is a very strange phenomenon that when the golden silkworms and ordinary silkworms are put together, the ordinary silkworms also turn into gold. Now  Nowadays, gold silk can be used to make several sets of clothes.

    It turns out that Yunyao was very lucky in her first 'luck draw'. What Xuanniao found was not an ordinary golden silkworm, but the Golden Silkworm King. The Golden Silkworm King can turn the surrounding silkworms into its own kind.  Sure enough, the black bird is still very mysterious, and it provided extremely high returns for Yunyao, who offered sacrifices for the first time.

    Since it is necessary to consider dyeing when weaving, it cannot be gray and white like all linen clothes. That would be too monotonous.  But in a backward environment, if you want anything, you have to use your own brain. If you want to dye, you have to find your own fuel. If you want to have patterns, you have to build your own jacquard machine and embroider. In short, you can have enough food and clothing by yourself.

    "Sister Mowu, do you think this pattern looks good?" Yunyao has a straight male aesthetic, so she still asks the real woman in the thatched cottage to give her opinions.

    But Mo Wu is not an ordinary woman, she likes black, and likes skull and flame patterns.

    "The skeleton represents victory, and the flame represents strength." Mowu said: "Master, I think it should be black as the base, plus white skulls and redColor flame is the best.  "

    Yunyao shook her head after hearing this, it was not as good as her petal pattern.

    In fact, there are no women who have weaved cloth in the thatched cottage. Mowu is a slave from Guifang who later became an immortal and had no chance to learn weaving. Li is a Dongyi woman who knows how to make leather. Hongsang is a genius from Tushan who is dedicated to cultivating immortality. Yunyao is a person who has traveled through time and space.  But they didn¡¯t have the opportunity to touch weaving before they traveled through time, and they only started learning after traveling through time.

    So no one has ever done the work of designing patterns, we can only think about it bit by bit.

    The golden silk has been sorted into spindles through spinning wheels. The texture of the silk threads is like metal, but it can be dyed.  If it can be processed, I still hope that the silk spun will be more beautiful.

    Finally, after everyone discussed it, we decided not to use tangible objects as the theme, but instead use intangible objects such as clouds, fire, and thunder to highlight the ethereal atmosphere of the monks, which is fresh and refined. However, this kind of irregular pattern is not easy to weave.

    Fortunately, Yunyao is very confident and confident in his improved loom.

    Use wood to make the prototype of the part, then use a mixture of rosin and straw ash to make a mold, pour bronze juice into it to cool and set, then polish the finished bronze part, and finally install it on the machine.

    A house was set aside in the fief specifically to install this machine, which was one foot wide and three feet long. Because it was very heavy, it needed to be supported by beams. On the day of installation, everyone in the fief came to watch the fun, and they were the first to do so.  This is the first time I have seen such an exaggerated loom.

    Several Chinese people personally helped assemble it. They knew that the cloth woven by such a large loom must be very wide and long. Although they didn't know what Yunyao wanted such a large silk satin, such a large thing must be rare.

    The common pieces of cloth now are only two feet wide. Although they are used as cloth coins, the size and length of each piece of cloth coins are different, and there is no unified standard.  If Yunyao used such a large loom to weave cloth coins and then trade them, he would definitely lose money to his grandma's family.  Fortunately, Yunyao was weaving for his own use and would not use it as cloth coins.

    The assembly took a whole day, and to make the jacquard machine work, it took a whole day of preparation. After all, the warp threads and the pattern colors had to be divided.  Only when the silk threads are divided and neatly installed on the jacquard machine can we start weaving.
