Regardless of whether or not that young man was one of the three heroes of the Renaissance, or whether or not the three heroes of the Renaissance would exist in the future, Lin did not say too much about the Leonardo da Vinci that he knew. If it was really him, Lin did not want to mislead his life. If it was not him, he did not want to give him unnecessary misconceptions. In any case, whether it was him or not, there was no way to prove it.
However, he also agreed to let Leonardo stay by his side as an apprentice. As for what to do in the future, he would think about it later. For now, he planned to find if there were any traces of transmigration on his body. This was also the original goal.
The original plan had to be carried out according to schedule. After all, this was related to his own safety. The magically modified brocade jacquard machine was ready to be officially activated. … This kind of person was heartless.
Other than those who had work to do, everyone else gathered in the jacquard machine workshop, including Leonardo, who had just joined. It was not that they were in charge of any mission. They were just here to watch the show.
The silk reeling work had been completed before. Furthermore, the magic added, the color of the dye, and the number of threads of each color were all estimated by the program written by Kaya. Of course, the color of the thread was also calculated and arranged on which spool of the jacquard machine. The difficulty of the optimization was no easier than editing the original program.
Because he was making clothes for himself to wear, including robes, shawls, and undergarments, the amount of cloth used and the cutting had already been planned in advance, and the pattern had been made. Of course, the additional magic included high-grade dimensional energy protection, the simple cleaning spell, the curse reversal spell that he had wanted to add on himself a long time ago, and a set of newly created magic — optical camouflage.
The protection spell was the complete version, and it was also the most important part of the silk reeling enchantment.
Basically, as long as he didn't roll around in the mud, sweat, dust, or dirt wouldn't stick to his clothes. However, equipment with the Purification spell did not need to be cleaned. Clothes, especially magical equipment, still needed to be maintained. It was not just about cleaning.
The curse reversal spell was the spell that Lin Sheng had added on himself the most. That was because this spell needed a bit of luck and a bit of metaphysics to be effective. It was not 100% effective. As for why it worked, why it didn't work, and what level of curse it could reverse, these were all questions that needed further research. At this stage, it could be considered as a form of peace of mind.
Optical camouflage was a necessary artifact for the protagonist in Earth's sci-fi works. He had done a lot of research on light magic, and optical camouflage had naturally been one of his research topics. Therefore, this could be considered as a practical experiment. As for the results, there was no need to force it.
Instead, it was the pattern to be used on the brocade that gave him a headache. If he used plain cloth, it would be a waste of his jacquard machine. It was too fancy and did not belong to his taste.
In the end, after careful consideration, he decided that the main pattern on the robe would be the Black Tortoise of the Four Spirits. It had the body of a tortoise and the tail of a snake. With a black background, black gold lines and dark red lines outlined the pattern.
Originally, he wanted to say that the four spirits were all present, and that the dragon, tiger, phoenix, and tortoise were all present. But later on, he felt that it was too flashy and didn't suit his taste, so he gave up. However, when he gave the original pattern to Hallumi for polishing, the girl actually said that it was just a flashy pattern that had changed from a flashy one to a boring one. The essence had not changed!
If it weren't for the fact that this girl was old, he really wanted to treat her like a child and give her a feast of bamboo shoots fried with shredded meat.
All the preparatory work had been completed before. The weaving process had also been programmed and inputted into the magically modified jacquard machine.
The two girls in charge of the operation checked all the processes and equipment again. After making sure that everything was in place, the teachers walked through it again. After everything was confirmed, they turned on the machine and started the weaving process in front of everyone's expectant eyes.
The number of lifting arms required was 1,200. To maintain the original design of individual lifting arms would make the upper part of the machine very crowded and prone to malfunctions. Therefore, it was later modified to a horizontal design similar to that of piano keys. All the lifting mechanisms were fixed in a row, and the meridians could be lifted up or down according to the requirements.
The operation of the machine did not make too much noise. The entire process was rather quiet, with only the swishing sound of the silk thread being pulled from the spool. This was because the tightness of all the machine's joints had been adjusted just right, and the lubrication had been done quite thoroughly.
After all, this was a custom-made machine and not a factory's mass-produced model. All the adjustments had been done meticulously, so there was no noise at all. If it were those mass-produced models, which were made as convenient as possible and only wanted to be fast and good, but not to the extreme, they would not have such an effect.
During the operation of the machine, other than Kaya, who was monitoring the data from the various departments, the others watched for a while. After the initial feeling of novelty had passed, they went to do their own things. Even a few of the most curious children and kittens could not stand it anymore and ran off to play by themselves.
On one hand, it was because the speed at which the silk was woven was very slow. After standing there for a long time, they had only finished weaving the length of a fingernail. Even if they were told that compared to the original handmade Sichuan brocade weaving process, this was already unimaginably fast, it would not make these impatient fellows interested again.
On the other hand, it was also because most of the work was done by the machine. If the people in charge of the operation were busy, they might be able to watch the show. But if only the machine was operating, the active fellows could not stand it.
If there was an exception, it would be Leonardo, who had just joined. His eyes were shining as he looked around. Everything in the jacquard workshop was new to him. Including the control and monitoring interface of the forums, he could ask a lot of questions. Not participating in the manufacturing process of the jacquard machine made him even more curious about such a sophisticated machine.
Lin was not stingy with his words and answered all the questions that Leonardo asked one by one. In fact, he had no choice but to answer. If he did not look at this fellow and satisfy his curiosity, he would dare to put his hand into the machine and try to fight the machine with his body to see who would win and who would lose.
If his hand was injured, there was still healing magic to deal with it. If the weaving process was disrupted, it could be imagined that cleaning up the aftermath would be a job that would make people cry.
And the process of interacting with Leonardo made the two apprentices who had been with him for a long time jealous. Halloumi pouted and complained, "Teacher, you have never explained these things to us in such detail."
Lin laughed and scolded, "Because you have never asked me questions. If you don't ask, I will explain the data in your ears. Don't you get tired of me? Even if it is magic, each of you is like a stubborn donkey, walking on your own. You can't blame me for that. "
Speaking of which, the two girls had been too independent in the past. They had to grit their teeth and endure many things by themselves. If the teacher did not take the initiative to arrange things, they would not rarely ask for help.
At that time, looking at their small bodies, trying to do things that they could not do, Lin could not help but feel a little pity. If they were on Earth, they would be free and unrestrained students, happily learning with their peers. But in the Land of Mystery, if they did not force themselves to do things beyond their abilities to adapt as quickly as possible, they might not even have a chance to survive.
Apart from satisfying Leonardo's curiosity, the main reason why Lin could not leave was that this was the first official operation, so of course he had to watch from the side. If any unexpected situation occurred, they would be able to deal with it at the first possible moment.
The current setting of the machine was that it would stop as soon as there was an error. Once the machine stopped, Kaya would report the location of the error, and then everyone would check and fix it. After everything was done, the machine could be turned on again.
Fortunately, errors only occurred in the first one or two hours, and they were quite rare. After adjusting the machine, it could continue to operate. It was clear that the execution rate of the original design was quite high.
All changes in the weaving process were recorded in a log file. After everything was on track, Kaya, under the instructions of her teacher, reported, "Teacher, if all goes well, it will take seven to eight days to complete." Because it was just the beginning, and they had not reached the stage where they had to change the weft threads frequently, they were not sure if the time would be the same, so they could not use the current progress to make an accurate prediction.
Slightly relieved, Lin let Halloumi continue to greet the moths in the other longhouse. In order to make her first piece of clothing, she had almost used up all the silk cocoons she had accumulated in the past six months. If the others wanted to make clothes, they would have to start from scratch.
Therefore, although it took seven to eight days to weave the first piece of silk, it would take several times, or even dozens of times, to accumulate enough silk cocoons. So the women were thinking about whether they should expand the scale of the breeding.
Kaya was still in the monitoring position, but she began to help Lin organize the car production plan that might be used later.
As for Leonardo, who had asked a lot of questions, he did not ask them casually. He did not care at all. He seriously wanted to know the answer and why.
And his questions inevitably involved some deeper knowledge, which could not be explained in a few words. In response to this, Lin of course took out the teaching materials used in the past for him to study by himself, and he could ask questions if he did not understand. There were a lot of things that couldn't be understood just by shooting here and there. There had to be a systematic learning process.
While preparing the production plan and waiting for the Ruan family members, Lin took the time to visit the Silver Bearded Dwarf's workshop. He told them that when the people from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce arrived, they might come in to see the environment where the car was made.
Of course, he said this to tell them to quickly hide what they needed to hide. Otherwise, they could not blame him if they leaked the secret that the Silver Bearded Dwarf did not want to reveal to the world.
After everything was ready, they waited for the Ruan brothers to visit.
