Chapter 698 Mr. Wang wants to monopolize key technologies (first update)
Chapter 707

"Do you really have a way to remove the seeds from those cottons?" Dendrobium's mouth trembled a little. He remembered that Xixia was not without insight, and he once said that in the dry and rainless Xixia land, many places It is very suitable for growing this plant.

But the problem is that the deseeding of this plant, that is, cotton, is definitely an extremely painful process. If all deseeding is done by hand, I am afraid it will take how long it will take to complete deseeding of cotton on an acre of land.

This is why in this era, the price of cotton is not inferior to that of silk. Nowadays, a large amount of cotton that lacks manual seed removal is mostly used as filler for clothes to keep warm.

If there is really a very convenient way to remove the cotton seeds, Hu felt believes that the area around Xingqing Prefecture will definitely be a snow-white sea of ​​cotton.

"Of course it's not difficult. With such a machine, I only need two or three days to make a sample. A machine only needs one or two people to operate it. The de-seeded cotton produced in a day is not worth a thousand catties." , but there are also five or six hundred catties."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasped again, and Zhe Keshi slapped his tongue. "According to Zhemou's knowledge, a skilled veteran can pick out at most five catties of de-seeded cotton a day. You actually said that a machine can produce five or six hundred catties a day..."

"How else would Mr. Wang dare to speak so brazenly?" Daguan Wang sniffed coquettishly and stood up. "Okay, today's temporary meeting will come here first. I will go back first, and take advantage of the inspiration to get the machine out first. By the way, Brother Xiude, I have something to trouble you, first go to buy three Five thousand catties of cotton that has not been removed from the seeds will come, and then it will be time to demonstrate."

After saying this, Wang Yang patted his butt and walked straight away, leaving behind a group of people who were still immersed in shock and had not yet recovered.

"He, can he really have a solution?" Li Mao couldn't help asking hesitantly.

"Don't underestimate Mr. Wang. So far, Zhemou hasn't seen anything that he can't solve, or it should be said that, but for anything he thinks can be solved, then you just need to wait for the result. As for the process, don't guess, because his brain is not comparable to ordinary people like us." Zhe Keshi shrugged his shoulders very relaxedly.

I had doubts before, but was blinded by the reality. So now, how could Zhe Keshi not believe in Wang Yang's strength and means?

After returning to his mansion, Wang Yang asked Wu Qilang to go to the craftsman camp to pick out a few trustworthy carpenters with extraordinary strength. In addition, he asked Ling Zong to send people to Huanzhou to let the carpenters who were supervising the production Wan Bin, who was working in the leather factory, came to Yanzhou.

Soon, several carpenters with extraordinary strength and ingenuity were called over, and of course they brought a batch of wood, and began to make according to the structure diagram of the seed remover drawn by Wang Yang.

Cotton deseeders, also known as cotton gins in later generations, are of course the simplest but most efficient method based on the design ideas of Wang Dacaizi. Although there are no big rivers like Wuding River in Yanzhou, there are still small rivers. a few.

So Wang Yang designed two copyrights from the beginning, one is a hydraulic cotton gin, and the other is a manual cotton gin.The efficiency of the hydraulic cotton gin is naturally higher, faster and stronger, but the human cotton gin is very small and flexible.

In fact, carpentry is not difficult, but Wang Yang also recruited several blacksmiths to make some parts. Although wooden parts can also be used, wooden parts are far less wear-resistant and durable than metal parts.

What's more, at that time, due to the simple structure of this kind of machine, if someone with ulterior motives buys a few more units and disassembles them for trial production, they can quickly produce similar products.

However, these metal parts are not so easy to copy. First of all, smelting technologies such as Yuanyou Coking Technique and Yuanyou Steelmaking Technique allow Wang Yang to obtain metal parts of excellent quality.

Before the many high-tech inventions invented by Wang Yang became popular, parts manufacturing would become a unique business.It is somewhat similar to the mobile phone industry in the 21st century.

Everyone can make a mobile phone case, and the various parts inside, if you think about it, many people can tinker with it, but the processor, hehe, come on, where else can you buy such an excellent performance besides me processor?

Therefore, unicorn companies with high-tech knowledge and leaving others far behind will always be one of the most profitable and promising companies.

It only took less than two days of work for the prototype designed by Wang Yang to be successful. However, in order to make it more perfect, Wang Dacaizi did not expose it immediately, but tried his best to find out its performance during the trial run. shortcoming.

Before noon on the third day, Wan Bin drove to Yanzhou in a carriage with his long-legged concubine.Excitedly rushed straight to Wang Yang's mansion.

After Wang Yang heard about it, he went out to greet him personally, Wan Bin saluted Wang Yang and couldn't wait to speak authentically.

"I heard from the messenger you sent that you, my dear brother, have created another wonderful machine that is ingenious and wonderful, and it is a wonderful tool that can create endless wealth.

But no matter how Wang asked, he refused to tell me what it was. I finally arrived in Yanzhou today. How about it? Should I let Wan take a good look at what it is. "

"Don't worry, the value of this thing is definitely beyond your imagination, but please wait a moment, brother, Wu Qilang, hurry up and inform all the adults to come together, so that they can also see this Yuanyou cotton gin." Wang Yang raised his brows proudly and welcomed Wan Bin into the mansion. He did not forget to ask Wu Qilang to find more spectators so that he could show off.

It didn't take long for Gao Qiu and other officials from Yanzhou, as well as Zhe Keshi and other generals, to arrive hand in hand, more than [-] civil and military officers all poured into Wang Yang's mansion.

And after resting for a day, Gao Shi, who heard that Wang Yang had thought of a way to solve the worries of the [-] troops, had already figured out the purpose of cotton, a highly drought-resistant crop, and knew what it was. Introduced from Tianzhu.It is only planted in a small amount in the Western Regions and Shaanxi Road, because although the woven cloth is very strong and durable, the biggest difficulty lies in removing the seeds.

The cloth made of this kind of cotton was introduced to the Central Plains as early as the Tang Dynasty. Not even inferior to silk.
