Jingguo, Ning An County, in a tearoom next to the ginning workshop.
Before the ginning machine was successfully shut down, the Gong Family scholars were constantly nitpicking and questioning. But now, the areas that they were nitpicking and questioning had all become areas of praise.
However, these Gong Family scholars didn't understand a lot of things, so they asked Fang Yun questions.
Fang Yun told them everything he knew and answered them seriously.
After Fang Yun said a few words, the most outstanding and experienced Gong Family members instinctively looked around for brushes and ink and started to record. Meanwhile, the disciples of the Zhang Heng Family took out their "sound-recording conch" with a smile.
The Sound Recording Conch could not only record the voices of the people present, but it could also be played. It was extremely valuable.
The two Zhang Heng Family disciples originally didn't have the qualifications to use such a treasure, but because they came with Fang Yun, the Zhang Family's Great Scholar, Zhang Hu, gave them a special Sound Recording Conch. With Fang Yun's permission, they could record Fang Yun's words about the Gong Family.
The two descendants of the Zhang Heng Family were incomparably proud. The two of them were very clear that the reason why Zhang Hu had specially approved the recording conch was because of Fang Yun's identity and status. He didn't think that Fang Yun would have any great achievements in the field of fortifications. The main reason was to set off Fang Yun's status.
But now, the two Zhang Family disciples had obtained first-hand valuable Gong Family technology. As long as Fang Yun gave them permission, they could give the Sound Recording Conch to the Zhang Family.
The human race had a perfect plan to protect Gong Family technology. Unless the inventor of the technology died, other people had to obtain the approval of the inventor to use the technology. Moreover, the Notre-Dame's Hall of Works would decide how much to pay to the inventor according to the importance of the technology.
In the Saint Origin World. Any Gong Family scholar who created a new technology would at least become the head of a Noble Family. They might even have the chance to be promoted to a Noble Family!
This was because Fang Yun's position and angle were different. The things he talked about were often from a strategically advantageous position and were very thorough. The Gong Family people were intoxicated by his words.
Ao Huang was confused after listening for a quarter of an hour. Then, it coiled in the air and fell asleep, snoring from time to time.
Gongzi's things were useless to the Dragons. Ao Huang didn't want to learn them, and Fang Yun didn't care either.
A full two hours passed. Fang Yun had just answered their questions.
After a while, the stubborn old man Liu Yu rubbed his hands together. His eyes glowed with excitement as he asked, "Fang Xu Sheng, do you have any idea about the mechanism behind the flower trap?"
The first step in weaving is to remove the seeds from the cotton to make lint. It was called embossing, and the mechanism used had just been successfully improved by Fang Yun.
The second step was to flick flowers.
The flapping process could rearrange the cotton fibers and make the lint fluffy. It could also remove impurities and prepare for the third step of spinning.
Flicking cotton and flicking flowers were essentially the same. Both made the cotton fluff fluffy, but like flicking cotton, one flicked the cotton embryo inside the bedding.
Whether it was in the Saint Origin World or Ancient Huaxia, the development of Flower Playing Tools was the slowest. Ancient Huaxia only switched to the more advanced box-type Flower Playing Bow at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Saint Origin World still used the ordinary Flower Playing Bow. It consumed a lot of manpower, so the Flower Playing Workshop was the place with the most people. The Gong Family people had already proposed some improvements, but either the mechanism technology didn't meet the requirements, or there were some key points in the mechanism. It wasn't something that a few geniuses could make up for, but it had to be accumulated over generations.
Many geniuses were able to make a technical innovation or even a big change, largely because of the accumulation of their predecessors.
Saint Origin World didn't lack geniuses, but the accumulation was lacking.
After listening to Liu Yu's words, Fang Yun smiled and nodded. He had already thought of a plan to improve.
The mechanism used to flick cotton in Saint Origin World was the Flower Playing Bow, and each person could only flick about five kilograms of lint per day.
Fang Yun originally wanted to follow the prescribed order and use the more advanced box-type Flower Playing Bow. It could allow each person to produce up to a hundred kilograms of lint per day.
However, in the process of improving the cotton gin, Fang Yun discovered that Saint Origin World's technology could already support the more advanced "wooden drum Flower Playing Machine". The wooden drum Flower Playing Machine not only had a higher output than the box-type Flower Playing Bow, it was also more mechanized, greatly reducing the labor intensity and making it easier to operate. This meant that the workers could use it with a little bit of training.
In order for the human race to develop in the war, they had to ensure that there were enough people in all walks of life. It was impossible to pull everyone into the army.
Now that the efficiency of the mechanism had improved, it freed up the labor force. Not only could it directly increase the combat ability of the mechanical beasts, it could also directly increase the number of human soldiers!
Since the technology was already in place, Fang Yun decided to skip the box-type Flower Playing Bow and directly use the more advanced wooden drum Flower Playing Machine.
Fang Yun swept his gaze across the crowd and asked, "Now, does anyone have any questions about the new cotton gin?"
"No! No! "
Everyone's head shook like a rattle drum. Ao Huang, who was half-awake, also shook his head, causing the crowd to not know whether to laugh or cry.
Fang Yundao said, "Since no one has any questions about the new cotton gin, we will now use the new wooden drum Flower Playing Machine. However, you all have to give me a certain amount of time, because starting from the Flower Playing Machine, this county will set a few standards. The first standard is to build a new mechanism according to the blueprint of the new mechanism! The Gongzi Family also has a similar blueprint, but this county's blueprint will be greatly improved, making it more reasonable! "
"En! En! En! "
The group of Gongzi Family members nodded their heads. They did not know what the wooden drum Flower Playing Machine was, nor did they know what the blueprint of the new mechanism that Fang Yun was talking about was. However, they could tell that it was a great improvement.
In front of Fang Yun, all they had to do was nod their heads!
Fang Yun smiled. In Saint Origin World, the effect of promoting the blueprint of the future generation would be extremely good. This was because the second level of the painter could reach the realm of 'lifelike', making the blueprint more realistic. As for the third level of the painting path, 'Lifelike on paper', it was basically drawing the exact same mechanism, making the process of making the mechanism much simpler and more precise.
Fang Yun stood up. Just as he was about to draw the blueprint, his official seal moved. He reached out to take a look and found that it was a letter from the Great Confucian Scholar, Zhang Hu.
Fang Yun carefully read the letter, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
This was because the letter said that the Lei family's Lei Shushan was also improving the 'Flower Playing Arch', but the direction of improvement was unknown.
Fang Yun thought for a moment. If Lei Shushan was on good terms with him, then he could delay the improvement of the Flower Playing Machine, or remind Lei Shushan to focus on other mechanisms. However, since he was not on good terms with Lei Shushan, and the two of them were competitors in the Court Examination, then he would pretend that he did not know about this matter.
Liu Yu stood by the side and said, "Fang Xu Sheng, when you leave the workshop to rest, please discuss with your private soldiers and advisors about the mechanical engineering techniques. Although the new type of Flower Playing Machine was improved by you, this technology cannot be taken away by the royal family of Jingguo, so it still belongs to you. From now on, every time a new type of Flower Playing Machine is built, you will receive a certain amount of silver. "
The Gongzi Family members looked at Fang Yun with envy.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I have thought about this a long time ago. I will not take a single cent from the improvement of the mechanism in the Court Examination. All of it will be donated to the 'Fang Yun Aid Fire Aid', and used to build the library and … for future needs. "
