Chapter 123 The Prototype Of The Industrial Revolution! The Development Of Hongwu Spinning Machine I
Chapter 123 The prototype of the industrial revolution! The development of Hongwu spinning machine is completed!
The hundreds of private master craftsmen recruited were all selected and selected to be the best.
Zhu Yuanzhang assigned hundreds of master craftsmen and more than a dozen people from the Ministry of Industry to Ye Xuan.
Let Ye Xuan decide.
Inside the Jenny Machine R&D workshop.
Hundreds of people stood in front of Ye Xuan.
In the front are more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Industry in official uniforms, and in the back are hundreds of craftsmen in coarse linen and linen clothes.
Ye Xuan wears a black gauze hat and a crimson Yunyan official robe. His figure is slender and straight, like a green pine.
He looked around at the group of people below and said:
"The emperor assigned you to me because he wanted us to make a new spinning machine."
"This spinning machine is called Zhen spinning machine."
"It makes spinning more efficient."
"If it is completed, your mission will be completed.
"The Emperor will give you the rewards you deserve."
The craftsmen's faces were flushed and they clenched their fists.
Excited.
This is an opportunity to change your destiny!
They definitely can't be missed!
Be sure to make that spinning jenny!
The craftsmen secretly made up their minds.
"I will give you an overview of the principle of the spinning jenny."
"You try to complete the Spinning Jenny."
Ye Xuan said.
The craftsmen were stunned.
A certain craftsman stood up cautiously and asked:
"Sir, don't you have any details?"
Ye Xuan glanced at him.
"No."
If there are drawings.
What else does he want these people to do230?
You can't just make it yourself.
Most of the craftsmen looked at each other. They are top craftsmen in all walks of life, but without drawings and just talking about principles, it is still extremely difficult to make a spinning Jenny.
They understand now.
Why was he promised the official position of craftsman?
It's really difficult to complete the Spinning Jenny, that's why we give such a good reward.
A small number of craftsmen are craftsmen who have made spinning machines and have some understanding of the principles of spinning machines.
but.
It's a bit abstract to just talk about the principles and let's make it.
They let out a heavy breath.
His face was full of seriousness.
anyway.
They all have to finish this spinning jenny!
Seeing that no one spoke again, Ye Xuan took out a pen and paper and began to sketch on the white paper, telling the principle of the Jenny spinning machine.
"Spinning Jenny, I've only seen it in a book."
"It's divided into several parts."
"Ahead here is the vertical spindle."
“It’s cotton fibers that are twisted into yarn and wound onto a drum.”
“A little below the vertical spindle, there are also rollers.
"The middle is where the lines are stored."
"It's the roving roller."
"And here in the back is where the tampons are stored."
Ye Xuan drew a square frame on the paper, and marked the spindle, coarse sand bobbin, and spinning cotton (bhae) strips on the front, middle, and back respectively.
Most of the craftsmen looked confused when they heard this.
Officials from the Ministry of Industry also looked confused.
They don't understand.
Ye Xuan said, it's like making people guess a riddle, and they can't figure it out.
A few craftsmen are thoughtful.
Ye Xuan continued to add content to the paper.
"There is a rotating shaft like a wheel on one side of the spinning Jenny. When it rotates, the rope sleeve is connected to the rotating shaft with a small runner."
"The rotating shaft is equipped with many vertical spindles connected to the spindle rods with rope sleeves."
"The spindle rod is also equipped with spindles."
"The roving passes through the pressure plate of the small carriage and hooks the spindle bar.
"The trolley is a vehicle that can move forward and backward on the slide."
"It is equipped with two pressing blocks, upper and lower."
"It's about this location."
Ye Xuan added a square at the rear and wrote Xiao Marching Army.
"The pressing block on the trolley can pass through the roving when it is pulled up, and can overpress the cotton yarn when it is lowered."
Ye Xuan kept talking about the principle of the spinning jenny.
The craftsmen frowned closer and closer.
The officials from the Ministry of Industry had their eyes filled with circles.
They don't understand the words spindle bar, spindle, trolley, vertical spindle, vertical spindle and so on.
It just feels like listening to Book of Heaven.
"That's how the Jenny machine works."
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he was silent.
Official from the Ministry of Industry: Hmm??
Finished?
Is this the end?
They just heard something.
Knowledge flashed through their minds, but no traces were left behind, which made them confused.
The craftsmen were thinking about something seriously.
"That's how it works."
"okay."
"You guys go make a Jenny machine."
Ye Xuan clapped his hands to bring everyone back to their senses, and the mayor ordered everyone to work.
The craftsmen were in no hurry to get to work.
But discuss it.
"I used to build spinning machines, so I have some experience with this."
"This is how it should be here."
"This should be..."
Craftsman Ma Si picked up the pen and sketched on the white paper.
The content is complicated.
There are many transmission mechanisms inside.
The various components are also labeled on it.
"Probably so."
"There are some things that I still don't understand, and I need to practice them."
Craftsman Ma Sidao.
The other craftsmen nodded.
"We still need to make the finished product to see."
Ye Xuan leaned over and took a look at their drawings.
very good.
Very complicated.
Generally understandable.
But if you look into it deeply, you don’t understand it at all.
The craftsmen were very spontaneous, assigned their respective tasks, and then began to make the spinning Jenny.
There were sounds of chopping wood, whittling wood, making leather belts, etc.
This temporary research and development workshop became lively.
"Master Ye, what are we going to do?"
Officials from the Ministry of Industry came forward.
They were assigned to Ye Xuan.
No matter how high the official position is.
You have to listen to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan is their temporary boss.
"You just supervise the work of these craftsmen."
Ye Xuan said.
This group of officials from the Ministry of Industry know some knowledge about machinery and water conservancy, but knowing it does not mean they can make it. In terms of actual manufacturing, craftsmen need to know better.
So Ye Xuan only asked them to supervise.
If they don't interfere, they are helping.
The craftsmen work extremely hard.
After all, if they complete the Jenny machine, they will become officials!
They work day after day.
Ye Xuan comes over every day to check on the situation.
Officials from the Ministry of Works reported on the progress of the craftsmen.
"They have basically completed the prototype."
"They have developed a trolley...
"The vertical spindle has been produced..."
Almost every day, craftsmen make new progress.
Seven or eight days later.
When Ye Xuan stepped into this temporary workshop, more than a thousand officials from the Ministry of Industry and a group of craftsmen from Wuyangyang all jumped out.
The eyes of this group of people were bloodshot, and fatigue could be clearly seen on their brows. However, their faces were full of excitement and excitement that could not be suppressed.
"My lord, the spinning machine is finished!!"
The group gets out of the way.
I saw a brand new spinning jenny coming into view.
This is the first Jenny spinning machine in Ming Dynasty!
Ye Xuan was also very happy.
I didn’t expect this group of craftsmen to be so powerful.
Just relying on the abstract knowledge he said, he completed the spinning Jenny.
"Will it work?"
Ye Xuan asked.
"able!"
"Of course!!"
The craftsmen quickly started working.
The spinning jenny was in operation, and cotton cloth was continuously spun into roving.
"ExtetЛ....."
"wrong."
"Since it was invented during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, let's call it the Hongwu spinning machine.
Ye Xuan looked at the spinning machine and thought to himself.
