Prehistoric Survival Records

According to the normal process of history, the fibers were first spun into threads, and primitive people gradually discovered that by interlacing the threads up and down according to the boundaries of warp and weft, a whole piece of cloth could be obtained.

Under the guidance of this principle, it stands to reason that the hand spinning wheel should be invented first, but in Lige and his tribe, because the dog paws rub the balls of thread quickly and well, and manpower is the most powerful tool in this era. It's not worth the money, they have nothing to do, just let them rub and play, this is a way to pass the time, the big guys sit together and chat their teeth, and they can exchange feelings by the way, I haven't seen a few people who woke up the first time Orcs, have gathered around their favorite girls with water and hemp fiber.

Not wanting to spoil this opportunity to enhance emotional communication, Rigg simply postponed the spinning wheel project and brought the manufacture of the loom to the fore. Now there is hemp, and the threads are constantly being rubbed out by the hands of the dogs. Everything is ready, the only thing left is the loom.

The loom is not difficult to say, but it is not difficult to trace the history of Huaxia. Although Huang Daopo improved the loom in the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, there was a kind of spinning machine unearthed at the site of the new era earlier. The pendant spinning tool shows that the primitive people had a deep understanding of spinning, both in terms of understanding and practice.

It is also explained from the side that the loom is not a technical problem. The difficulty is that in this era of lack of tools, any part must be polished by hand. Although the loom is not a fine workmanship, for There are still some technical requirements for the details of the parts.

Although Rieger had seen the most primitive loom disassembly diagram, he was full of theoretical knowledge, which was just a matter of paper. If he was asked to make parts by hand, the civilization process of the orcs here might be delayed by more than 100 years.

In this day and age, he has no 3D printing, no lathe, but fortunately, God is not bad for him, and gave him a capable Billy.

Rigg found a piece of animal skin, drew a whole pedal loom on it, and marked the exploded view of the parts on one side.

After drawing these, he rolled up the animal skin and pulled it in his hand, and went straight to Billy.

Everyone has their own things to do, and the orcs who really have nothing to do will ask Billy to get some rattan and bamboo strips to weave some baskets. Falling asleep with a big head, both lazy and comfortable.

When Rigg found Billy, he was repairing the wheel axle of the scooter with the help of his brother Gal. During the chaos last night, one corner of the wheel axle was damaged due to overuse or carelessness, and Billy was trying to find a way to repair it. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the shaft.

Unwrapped the hide and poured out all his designs for the loom to Billy, and Rigg asked Billy if he had any ideas.

Billy said: "This is too delicate, I can't guarantee it, I can only try."

Lige didn't force him either: "Anyway, just try it first, and it will be the best if you can make it by then. If you can't do it, anyway, the females have learned how to knit sweaters, and we can also weave cloth with the method of knitting sweaters."

In Billy's eyes, the exploded diagram drawn by Rigg is simply too advanced, too advanced. Sure enough, such a whimsical idea can only come from the wisdom of the beast god. Looking at the animal skin in his hand, Billy felt awe. think.

Rigg didn't care what unscientific thoughts were flashing in his mind, and encouraged him: "Then let's try today, since we are idle anyway, what are you doing repairing that thing, you are tired of doing it, start over again." How challenging is it to cut a loom.”

Billy was right after thinking about it, and said: "According to your idea, this loom needs to be made according to our height, and the operator will sit directly in front of the loom and weave with hands and feet. We have to choose carefully, we orcs are very powerful, so don’t let them be damaged by hands and feet all at once.”

Rigg also thought it made sense, this loom is no better than a cart, don't spend a lot of time polishing the parts, and some reckless guy will pull them apart in a few moments, that's a lot of trouble.

The two rummaged through the pile of wood for a long time, and finally picked out a kind of wood that had a slow growth period and made a sound like gold and stone when the wood hit each other. Rig scratched the wood with a stone knife, but failed to leave a mark on the surface. Charlie He pecked hard, but left only a faint white mark. Regardless of how small he is, his strength in this life is much stronger than his previous life, let alone with Charlie’s strength, only a white mark was left. The texture of this wood is quite On a thin steel plate.

Billy also nodded, thinking that this kind of wood is good: "This kind of wood is very strong, and it takes a lot of effort to cut it. It takes half a day to cut a tree."

So Rigg made the decision immediately, and that was it.

This most primitive pedal loom is composed of main components such as frame, heald, pedal, support, cloth winding roller and wire roller.

The rack acts as a support, and all the parts will eventually be combined on the rack, so the size of the rack can only be deduced by determining the size of the other components inside.

Rigg randomly found a reference object. Anyway, these orcs are bigger than each other, and the general height of the median value is almost the same, and the left, right, up, and down are similar.

After the frame size is determined, the rest of the components have a reference size.

The principle of the foot-operated textile machine is very simple, that is, the hands and feet cooperate with each other, and the two sets of warp threads are staggered up and down by the feet. The shuttle is used as the weft thread to shuttle between the two sets of warp threads, and then compacted with the weft knife. Repeat this step. By interweaving the threads into a tight mesh, a piece of cloth is slowly formed.

The improvement of the weaving speed in later generations actually changed the speed of threading the weft in essence. Using air or water to drive the weft to pass through the warp quickly, the speed of weaving was greatly accelerated. The air-jet and water-jet looms used That's the principle.

But in the bitter prehistory, everyone should be honest and use the claws to hold the thread and shuttle.

Rigg provided ideas, Billy provided craftsmanship, and Gal was doing chores for them, and other orcs helped cut wood and rough processing.

It greatly saves Billy's time, and the parts in his hand can basically be finely polished.

This is another surprise. Although some orcs are not good at fine work, they can do some rough work according to the length and width. Of course, it is mainly those who are really stupid. After a lot of fuss, they were also sent away by Lige, who couldn't see him, and told them to stay where they were cool and not to make trouble.

Less help would be a disservice, and the work process will be accelerated a lot. It is a technical problem to cut heald pieces with a distance of one or two millimeters on the wood with a sharp stone knife, mainly because the wood is too hard, and it is not easy The texture is brittle and hard, and it is easy to crack. Once the heald is cut out, the distance cannot be kept at the same distance. It is a very grueling job to cut and polish the stone knife for a while.

Fortunately, Billy was very patient. It can be said that he worked hard to make a heddle with a small difference in spacing. Rigg was very satisfied. In addition to verbal rewards, he was also granted an additional five days of leave. Said to let him have a good rest after the loom was completely finished.

Looking at the heald in his hand that was polished without a single burr, Lige was very satisfied. Although the warp threads separated by this handmade heald are definitely not as accurate as those of later generations, and the arrangement is not tight enough, but this is already Billy put his best effort into making it. Although the workmanship is rough, the workmanship is really good, and there is nothing to demand at all.

The most troublesome heald has been solved, and the rest of the parts should not be a big deal.

After a day, not long after the sun went down, the components on Rieger's exploded view appeared in proportion to his eyes.

The next step is the most critical step. After assembly, if there are only parts, if they cannot be assembled or the parts do not fit smoothly, they cannot be used.

When Billy was carrying the wooden parts and loading them on the rack, Rigg held them with all his heart. Even if he had made 1 mental preparations in his heart, it would not be so easy. Hope it works.

Fortunately, Rigg was not disappointed, and all the parts were assembled.

Lige took a coil of thread and put a card on the heddle. This process is called splitting.

After dividing the weaves, the remaining threads were lengthened and wound around the shuttle. Lige tentatively stepped on the foot pedal, and the warp threads staggered up and down. Stepping on the feet, the warp threads are interlaced, and the weft just now is naturally stuck in the middle of the two strands.

As the pedals were stepped on, there was a clicking, clicking sound, and a piece of real cloth the thickness of a finger was formed on the loom.

Although the pedals are slightly stuck when stepping on them, this one is not in a hurry, and it is really valuable.

As soon as Rigg jumped off the pedals, he jumped three feet high and succeeded!

But he didn't succeed in getting his mind off it. He asked Billy to step on it to try it out, feel the parts that were not smooth, and re-polish it.

At the height of the moon, every part of the loom has been fine-tuned. Now when using it, it feels much smoother than when it was used for the first time. As long as the user's hands and feet cooperate properly, they can step on it. Come out in a regular rhythm.

After yawning a lot and explaining a few words to Gal, Rigg was taken away by Quinn, who had been waiting for a long time, and went home to sleep.

Lige, who had exhausted his brain power a lot, couldn't care about anything else, and almost fell asleep within a few minutes.

Early the next morning, Rieg woke up and looked at the sky as usual, and found that the rain outside hadn't stopped.

And the orcs have already started to move spontaneously according to the work assigned yesterday, peeling the hemp, straightening the hemp, twisting the wrong thread, and coming down in an orderly manner.

There are also many females who see that the weather outside can't dry the meat, so they simply break down the fresh meat into meat strips, put salt on both sides, and use the heat of the firepit to smoke the meat to dry it.

The remaining orcs surrounded the city in a big circle, with a large pile of acorns in the middle, and put a basket on each hand, and threw the acorns into the basket after peeling them. Claws are peeling acorns.

This is what Lige ordered. Although wild boars are known as steel stomachs, their acorn shells are hard. If you want to feed acorns to pigs, you'd better smash the acorn shells and peel the meat, and feed them together with pig grass. After feeding the pigs for a period of time, after the pigs have adapted to it, they will be fed some shelled ones to see if the pigs can digest them. It seems that the clansmen have listened to it and got busy early in the morning.

Everyone is working hard, and I can't slack off. Rieg clenched his fists and took a large piece of meat from his father with his mouth to chew.

After finishing his breakfast, Rieg went to find Nora and asked her to take a meticulous dog orc to learn weaving.

Nora found her best sister, Ceci, and followed Rigg to the weaving front.

Rigg showed them the weaving process.

In fact, it is not difficult, just pedal, then shuttle, pedal again, shuttle again, if the shuttle is loose, use the weft knife to pat the weft thread tighter, if the cloth to be woven is very long, roll it with a cloth roller You can continue weaving once you start a part.

"Basically, these are the main points of action, but you should pay attention to it. If the thread in the middle is broken, you must connect this thread immediately before you can thread the weft thread again. Otherwise, the woven fabric will have holes. Yes. If you are a novice, this is inevitable, just keep in touch."

After Rigg finished speaking, let them try it themselves.

Lige is short. When he operates the loom, he stands on his feet and needs to stand on tiptoes. If he is replaced by two adult orcs sitting on a stool, the height is just right. This height is still the height of Lige according to the human body in his previous life. Designed according to the principles of engineering, sedentary weaving is also less labor-intensive.

As early as when Lige was weaving, the two dog females were dumbfounded. In fact, when they saw the loom for the first time, they were already surprised from ear to ear. Pots, brick houses, and planting have opened my eyes, but my imagination is still not rich enough. This loom is too delicate. What kind of wisdom does it take to make such a thing.

Lige was admiring the stupefied expressions of the two elder sisters of the dog clan, and he was very proud. He still has a lot of stuff for Master Lige, and you will get used to it in the future.

The author has something to say: my aunt arrived, and I reluctantly finished this chapter, and I am going to lie down, everyone eat happily.

I am very grateful to the lords who caught bugs, but Jinjiang has been too strict in the review recently. If you change a typo, you will be very angry if it is locked.
