After coming out of the City Lord's Manor, Meg went to the factory in the north of the city without stopping.
All the machines had been assembled according to his requirements. Steam spinning machines stood in the spacious workshop. Although they looked simple and shabby compared to modern machines, they were the second combination of steel and steam engines in this world. They had epoch-making significance.
Meg was sure that these machines could complete the task of spinning. Moreover, their efficiency was more than a hundred times that of ordinary female textile workers.
However, because they didn't know how to use these machines, the Night Elves could only leave them idle. Currently, they were practicing archery and magic under the lead of Guard Captain Ashley.
Meg found Ashley. This Guard Captain was rather sturdy compared to the slender figure of ordinary elves. She was one of Irina's most trusted elves. She was also the one in charge of restricting the behavior of the Night Elves and training them when Irina didn't do anything herself.
"Mr. Meg, is there anything I can help you with?" Ashley looked at Meg and asked. She had always respected this human who had helped the Night Elves a lot.
Meg smiled and said, "It's like this. I'm here today to teach everyone how to use the machines in the factory. I'll tell everyone how to use the machines to spin efficiently and let the factory start operating."
"Please wait a moment. I'll gather all the Night Elves." Ashley turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." Meg hurriedly stopped her. He took two steps forward and shook his head, saying, "There's no need to gather everyone first. As the restaurant is rather busy, I'd like to choose ten Night Elves who are nimble and have good memories to teach in small classes. After they've mastered it, they'll teach the other elves."
"Alright. Then please wait a moment, Mr. Meg. I'll go and find ten elves." Ashley nodded and turned to leave quickly. Not long after, she brought back ten elves.
Meg looked at these elves. There were five males and five females, and their strength was all above level-6. They could be considered outstanding existences among the Night Elves in the factory. After all, the Night Elves in the factory were generally weaker.
"Mr. Meg, do you think they're qualified?" Ashley asked.
"Of course. Everyone, please follow me." Meg nodded quickly. What a joke. It was just spinning. If even a group of sixth-level and seventh-level elves couldn't do it, then wouldn't the requirements for the textile workers be too high?
Meg led everyone into the production workshop. They first went to the boiler room and briefly introduced the steam boiler and the operating principle of the steam engine driven by it.
"Excuse me, but will we be able to move those steel monsters outside if we light a fire here?" A female elf asked curiously. Just now, they had seen how huge those machines were.
"Yes, this is the wonder of the steam engine." Meg nodded with a smile, but he didn't explain too many scientific principles to the group of magic casters. After making sure that the three male elves were in charge of burning the boiler, he taught them how to operate the boiler and gave each of them a manual to use the boiler. After that, he brought the rest of the elves to the production workshop.
Meg was like a teacher, explaining to the elves how to use the textile machine to turn cotton into a complete piece of cotton cloth.
Feeling the surprised and admiring gazes, Meg didn't show it on his face, but he was a little proud in his heart.
Although he was standing on the shoulders of giants, it also showed that he hadn't taught his teacher everything that he had learned when he was a beginner.
"That's about the operation and explanation. I believe that everyone has already memorized it. However, if you want to become a qualified textile worker, you still need to continue to hone yourself on the assembly line." Mag looked at the elves with a smile, and said, "Then, let's begin our first official operation."
Although the elves were surprised that Meg let them start the operation so quickly, they quickly returned to their positions according to the previous arrangement.
"Sorry to trouble you, but let the boiler room start burning the boiler." Meg looked at an elf who was in charge of the overall planning.
That elf quickly left. Soon, black smoke rose from the chimney of the boiler room. Steam flowed into the workshop through the pipes and into the cylinder of the textile machine. Accompanied by the clicking sound of the gears, the steam spinning machine began to move. The cotton that was thrown into the spinning machine was swallowed by the machine. The dense and complicated machine moved back and forth, and thin cotton yarn began to appear. It automatically wound itself around the coil, and soon, a full coil was wrapped around it.
The elves present stared at this scene with their eyes wide open. After a while, an elf finally reacted. He stepped forward and took off the coil that had already been wrapped, and wrapped the cotton yarn around another wooden frame.
"Oh, what an incredible thing. As long as you throw the cotton wool into that opening, the machine really spits out cotton yarn on its own. It's even more delicate and soft than the cotton yarn that ordinary women weave!" An elf pulled out a cotton yarn and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, this kind of cotton yarn can be woven into very good cloth. It should be able to sell for a very good price, right?"
"The most terrifying thing is the spinning efficiency of this machine. Even the most skilled women weaver's speed is not even 1% of the speed of this machine. Moreover, we don't have to do too much work. We only need to throw in the cotton wool and change the coil after the coil is wrapped."
The elves were discussing spiritedly. During this period of time, they were still wondering what the steel blocks in the factory were used for. Now that they saw these big guys moving and spinning cotton yarn that was even more delicate than the women weavers, all the elves' doubts were dispelled. Now, all that was left was their admiration for Meg.
What kind of godly machine was this?!
With this machine, wouldn't all the women weavers lose their jobs?
Meg also picked up a roll of cotton yarn and looked at it. The quality of the cotton yarn was indeed good. The thickness was uniform, and the texture was soft. It could be seen that the stability of the machine was good.
Looking at the spinning machine, the rolls of cotton yarn were formed. Meg suddenly realized that the birth of these cotton yarns might have a devastating impact on the textile industry of this world.
This world was still in a primitive state of low efficiency when it came to single cotton yarn. The steam spinning machine was equivalent to jumping two big steps forward, leaving the whole world behind.
When the production efficiency increases, the cost of labor will drop drastically. This will have a disruptive impact on the industry. It seems that I have a good dagger to stab that invincible empire. Meg was deep in thought, and a smile appeared on his face.
The Roth Empire was a big spinning country. 70% of the world's cotton yarn was produced in the Roth Empire. Those landlords who controlled countless women weavers relied on this to accumulate a huge amount of wealth.
