As someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder who pursued perfection, how could he be satisfied with the quality of this trial product? He used Blink to snatch the handkerchief back from Lich's hands. At that moment, the gaze that shot over was as cold as ice, making him think that he was about to die. Fortunately, the owner of those beautiful eyes quickly returned to normal and stared at him without saying a word.
Of course, Lin knew that they were waiting for his explanation. If he couldn't explain to their satisfaction, he was afraid that he would have to suffer. So, he hurriedly opened the handkerchief with both hands and placed it in front of the three, saying, "Look carefully at the picture on it."
At the same time, he cast Illumination, which he was best at. Instantly, the workshop was illuminated as bright as day. Only then did the three women focus their attention on the picture on the handkerchief.
At first glance, the sparrow picture was complete, and before some of the spools ran out, the handkerchief didn't seem to have many flaws. In Fen and Kaya's eyes, this was already a realistic picture of a sparrow. They didn't know what the man was dissatisfied with. Only Hallumi pouted and narrowed her eyes, unable to get rid of the feeling of disharmony.
"Do you see anything?" Lin asked again.
"Teacher, this seems a bit strange," the blonde girl said. But she also felt a bit guilty when saying this. Because she couldn't clearly point out where the flaws were, she could only comment based on her feelings.
The teacher smiled and placed the handkerchief under the microscope on the table for observation. Of course, the magnification didn't need to be adjusted to the level of observing cells. It was fine as long as the magnification was to a certain extent, which helped to check the weaving results of the handkerchief's details.
In this way, many flaws could be seen in the picture. The most important thing was that the rough edges of the picture weren't handled properly, but because only one or two weft lines were wrong, the mistake couldn't be seen at first glance. And this was a mistake in the jacquard.
There were also some weft lines that were mixed with the wrong color, but because there were only one or two, the overall appearance wasn't obvious. If one looked closely, they would find that two weft lines were in the same position.
In addition, there were many subtle flaws, and this was the biggest difference between manual and machine production. When manual workers found a mistake, they would naturally know to stop and correct it, so there was no need to worry about unexpected situations. Since it was all wrong, they could stop and correct it. If they couldn't do it, they could ask someone else. There was nothing difficult about it.
When it came to machine production, it could only deal with the preset situation accordingly. When it encountered a situation where it was not considered thoroughly, it could only make the best of it. Basically, this magically modified jacquard machine could finish weaving a piece of brocade handkerchief. For someone, it was already a pass. At least there were no serious mistakes that would cause damage to the fabric.
It was worth mentioning that the enchanted silk thread was much stronger than he had imagined. Originally, he thought that there would be frequent disconnections, and then the situation of needing to be reconnected, but it did not happen. However, there were situations where the reel ran out, but the machine did not stop. This part had to be fixed from the programming side.
After pointing out all kinds of flaws from the magnified image, Lin asked the three women, "So, from this performance, do you think we should fix the jacquard machine to be flawless or maintain it at this level?"
They were shocked speechless by the satisfaction, shaking their heads and nodding their heads. What they wanted to express, a certain someone couldn't guess, but he could roughly guess what they were thinking.
There were some things in life that couldn't be compromised. In a situation where it was not possible to achieve 100 points, it was fine to choose to easily achieve 60 points. In any case, it was fine to make do with it. If one chose to compromise, it was either they did not care about it, or there were other things that they cared about more. In the end, they had to make a choice.
At first, everyone was puzzled by a certain someone's obsession with making such a complicated jacquard machine. However, after seeing the finished product, none of the three women objected. This was because fabrics like silk had to be made into clothes and worn on one's body. As long as the conditions permitted and they had the ability, who wouldn't want to take care of themselves to a perfect state?
Therefore, with a burning flame in their eyes, even if the machine was a thousand times more complicated, they would do their best to modify it, as long as the finished product was flawless.
However, in addition to preparing to fix the flaws that had been discovered, Lin also raised a few questions that they had never thought of before. This included the order of the different colored reels, which would affect the position of the shuttles, and how to place the reels so that the machine would run smoothly and quickly.
When the adjacent lifting arms were in operation, whether there was a need to delay time so that the mechanical arm could respond in time to the program's reaction. On the other hand, how to improve the sensitivity and reaction speed of the mechanical arm so that it could keep up with the processing speed of the program. The second final method was to change the structure of the lifting arms to speed up the operation of the jacquard machine.
This would have to be analyzed from the frequency of use of each color and each mechanical arm. How to arrange them so that they could avoid being too close to each other and moving too frequently, causing a situation of 'fighting'. Just like the arrangement of the English keyboard on Earth, it was also claimed that after scientific research, it was the most efficient arrangement for typing. As for the truth, there was no need to pursue it here.
Previously, when making the machine, Lin's focus was on accuracy.
The machine had to be able to create what it wanted first before it had the value of other elements. If even the most basic manufacturing product could not pass, even if the machine was shaped like a Transformer and ran so fast that it was difficult for the human eye to recognize it, it would be meaningless.
However, when the Sparrow Embroidered Handkerchief was successfully made, Lin felt that he could consider the second focus, which was' efficiency '.
According to a certain someone's memory, the Sichuan brocade's public handcraft skills only progressed a few centimeters in a day. On the other hand, he used the mechanized Sichuan brocade process and spent half a day to complete a 15-centimeter embroidered handkerchief. In terms of efficiency, this magically modified jacquard machine was much better than the traditional Sichuan brocade process. However, was there room for further improvement?
In fact, for a novice in the textile industry, a certain someone was really clueless about how to improve efficiency to be considered qualified. Therefore, in this regard, he could only say that he did his best.
Don't look at the fact that continuing to magically modify the machine had nothing to do with Hallumi. This blonde girl was also entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which was to find suitable dyes.
Now, their teacher's intention in making this dazzlingly complicated jacquard machine was very clear as an apprentice. He wanted to use this machine to add complicated patterns during the weaving process. And it seemed that the complexity and finesse of the patterns were not comparable to ordinary embroidery.
However, natural silk threads would vary in color depending on the moth species. Even for the same moth species, the color of the silk threads would be slightly different. Whether it was a blend or a single moth's silk thread, if one wanted to weave beautiful colors and make the silk, which everyone wanted to weave, look like a painting, dyes were an indispensable part of the process. And this task was handed over to Hallumi.
The conditions given by the teacher for the best dyes, in addition to the two basic requirements of being bright and washable, it was best to make it with magic materials to match the magic silk. Lin also hoped that the difficulty of obtaining it would not be at the level of difficulty. The initial investment cost was already high enough. Marco Lin did not want the dyes to become an insurmountable obstacle.
Finally, and also the most important point, the dyes could not be poisonous!
Even though this seemed like a very basic requirement that no one would commit, it was a very basic requirement. In fact, when Lin was studying the history of Sichuan brocade, he happened to see a fatal episode in the history of fashion.
The once beautiful and bright green was the color of death, because the green dyes were chemical dyes made by chemists using arsenic. At that time, the people who pursued fashion did not realize the danger and only pursued beautiful colors.
But it was not only the female workers who made it. The women and children who put on the green dresses and accessories were also harmed. Their skin festered, their nerves were affected, and they even died. Because of this, for a long time, green was seen as an ominous color.
Destroying oneself because of beauty was not something that anyone would want to see. Therefore, the teacher cautiously warned that even a rebellious girl had to think about her own life.
The reason why this job was given to Hallumi was that she was more sensitive to things like color and beauty, and also because she could use her connections in the Turtledove Alliance to ask about this.
Lin did not have a good impression of that organization, because the people there were too subjective, and it was easy for them to use friendship to kidnap other people's choices. But it was undeniable that there were many people in there who were amazing talents. In addition, they had traveled extensively and were knowledgeable.
But just as Lin was immersed in the production of the jacquard machine, there was another wave of discussion about him in the Holy City. The main reason was, of course, the battle with the Devil Prince Azad. Being involved in the troubles of that empire was not a big news or a big deal. That person had done more ridiculous things before. But to be able to survive from his hands was definitely big news.
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief. The so-called "troubles of the empire" had long been regarded as a disaster on the same level as a natural disaster. In the face of natural disasters, there was a limit to human strength. If they encountered it, what else could they do? Of course, they had to accept it. But to be able to survive after encountering it, what did this mean? No one dared to think about it.
It was just that there were too many witnesses, and there was no lack of veteran Mages who had considerable credibility. Even though many people questioned their testimony on the grounds that the group of witnesses were math students, Lu Zhou did not say anything. But who dared to use That person's name to spread rumors?
There was a reason why no one dared to mention his name. As long as any rumors related to the Devil Prince reached his ears, he would be very interested in personally verifying the truth. And not only would he look for the person involved in the rumors, but even the people who said these things would be greeted. Then these people would experience what it meant to be temperamental and understand why That person was regarded as a natural disaster.
But this time, the person involved in the rumors was still alive and well, and he did not miss the math classes that he was supposed to teach every day. Just as everyone thought that it was because That person happened to not be in the Holy City, some people spoke a little presumptuously, and then they suffered …
