The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Jingguo, Ning'an County, in the teahouse next to the cotton ginning workshop.

Before the success of the cotton ginning machine, those educated workers were constantly critical and questioning, but now, all the things they questioned and criticized before have become praises.

However, these Gongjia scholars did not understand many places and asked Fang Yun questions.

Fang Yun knows everything he knows, speaks everything he says, and answers seriously.

After Fang Yun said a few words, the best and most experienced workers instinctively looked for pens and ink to start recording, while the disciples of the Zhang Heng family smiled and took out the "Sound Conch".

The Phonophone Conch can not only record the sounds present, but can even play them back, which is extremely valuable.

The two children of the Zhang Heng family were not qualified to use treasures of this level, but because they came with Fang Yun, Zhang Hu, a great scholar of the Zhang family, specially approved a conch with a voice to be given to the two of them, so that they could use it with Fang Yun's permission. , recording Fang Yun’s words about workers.

The two children of the Zhang Heng family were extremely proud. They knew very well that the reason why Zhang Hu specially approved the conch with the left voice was because of Fang Yun's identity and status. They did not think that Fang Yun could achieve much in the field of fortification, mainly because of Set off Fang Yun's identity.

But now, the two children of the Zhang family have gained first-hand valuable craftsmanship skills. As long as luck permits, they can hand over the conch with the sound to the Zhang family.

The human race has a complete plan to protect Gongjia's mechanism technology. Unless the inventor of the technology dies, other people must use the technology with the approval of the inventor, and based on the importance of the technology, the Gongdian of the Holy Academy will decide how much to pay. Technology royalties are paid to the inventor.

In Shengyuan Continent, any scholar who creates new technologies will at least become the head of a prominent family, and may even have the opportunity to be promoted to a famous family!

Because Fang Yun stood in different positions and angles, what he said was often high-level and very thorough, which made everyone in the Gong family listen intoxicated.

Ao Huang became confused after listening to it for a quarter of an hour, and then fell asleep in mid-air, snoring from time to time.

The things from the Gong family are useless to the Dragon Clan. Ao Huang doesn't learn from them, and Fang Yun doesn't care about them either.

It took a full hour for Fang Yun to finish answering their questions.

After a while, the stubborn old man Liu Yu rubbed his hands and said with a blazing light in his eyes: "Fang Xusheng, do you have any idea about the Danhua Mechanism in the future?"

The first step in weaving is to remove the seeds from the seed cotton to make lint, which is called ginning. The mechanism used has just been successfully improved by Fang Yun.

The second step is to pop flowers.

The bombing process can rearrange the cotton fibers, make the lint fluffy, and further remove impurities in preparation for the third step of spinning.

The essence of cotton elastic and flower elastic is the same, they both make the cotton batting fluffy, but cotton elastic generally refers to the cotton batting inside the quilt.

Whether in the Shengyuan Continent or Ancient China, the development of flower-splitting tools is the slowest. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that the ancient Chinese nation switched to the more advanced box-type catapult bow.

Shengyuan Continent still uses the ordinary Danhua Vertebral Bow, which is extremely labor-intensive, so the Danhua Workshop is the place with the largest number of people. Some workers have proposed some directions for improvement, but either the machine technology does not meet the requirements, or there are deficiencies in some key places, which cannot be made up by a few geniuses, but must be formed through the accumulation of generations.

The reason why many geniuses can make a technological innovation or even a major change is largely due to the accumulation of their predecessors.

Shengyuan Continent does not lack geniuses, it just lacks accumulation.

After listening to Liu Yu's words, Fang Yun smiled and nodded. He had already thought of an improvement plan.

The mechanism used to play cotton in Shengyuan Continent now is the flower-spreading bow. One person can only play more than ten kilograms of lint cotton in a day.

Fang Yun originally wanted to develop a slightly advanced box-type slingshot step by step, which would allow one person to produce up to a hundred kilograms a day.

However, in the process of improving the cotton gin, Fang Yun discovered that Shengyuan Continent's technology could already support the more advanced "wooden drum cotton gin machine". The wooden drum cotton gin machine not only had a higher output than the box-type catapult machine, but was also more highly organized. High, which greatly reduces labor intensity and is simple to operate, which means workers can use it with a little training.

If the human race wants to ensure development during the war, it is necessary to ensure that there are enough people from all walks of life. It is impossible to recruit everyone to serve as soldiers.

Now that the efficiency of the mechanism has improved, the labor force has been liberated, which can not only directly enhance the combat capabilities of the mechanism beasts, but also directly increase the number of human soldiers!

Now that the technology was in place, Fang Yun decided to skip the "box-type catapult bow" and directly launch the more advanced wooden drum catapult machine.

Fang Yun glanced at the crowd and asked, "Do you still have any questions about the new cotton gin?"

"No! No!"

Everyone's heads were shaking like rattles, and Ao Huang was shaking his head in half sleep, making everyone dumbfounded.

Fang Yun said: "Since there is no doubt about the new cotton gin, let's launch the new wooden drum cotton gin machine now. However, you have to give me a certain amount of time, because starting from the cotton gin machine, the county needs to formulate some standards, the first of which The standard is to build a new mechanism according to the new mechanism drawings! The engineers also have similar drawings, but the county’s mechanism drawings will be greatly improved and more reasonable!”

"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!"

The workers kept nodding. They neither understood what the wooden drum playing machine was, nor what the drawings of the new mechanism Fang Yun mentioned were, but when they heard it, they thought it was a great improvement.

In front of Fang Yun, just nodding is enough!

Fang Yun smiled. The effect of promoting the drawings of later generations in Shengyuan Continent is absolutely excellent, because the second-level painters can achieve a lifelike state, making the drawings more realistic. As for the third-level painting "jumping onto paper", it is almost directly drawing the same mechanism, making the process of manufacturing the mechanism simpler and more accurate.

Fang Yun stood up and was about to draw the drawings, but the official seal moved, so he reached out to see that it was a letter from the great scholar Zhang Hu.

Fang Yun read the letter carefully, and an unusually strange expression appeared on his face.

Because the letter said that Lei Shushan of the Lei family was also improving the "flower-spinning vertebral bow", but the direction of improvement was unknown.

Fang Yun thought about it. If Lei Shushan was on good terms with him, he could postpone improving the cotton-spinning machine, or remind Lei Shushan to focus on other mechanisms, but since he was not familiar with Lei Shushan, and the two were competitors in the palace examination, he would pretend not to know about this matter.

Liu Yu said on the side: "Fang Xusheng, when you leave the workshop to rest, talk to your private soldiers and staff about the mechanical technology. Although the new cotton gin was improved by you during your tenure, this technology cannot be taken away by the royal family of Jingguo, and it still belongs to you. From now on, you will get a certain amount of silver for every new cotton gin you create."

The workers and scholars looked at Fang Yun with great envy.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "I have thought about this a long time ago. All the income I get from improving the mechanical mechanism in the palace examination will not be taken, and all will be donated to 'Fang Yun's Tuition Fund' to build subsequent libraries and... future needs."

"You are really a rare great philanthropist in the human race!" Liu Yu praised.
