Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid
Chapter 43: Industrial Revolution
In fact, it is an issue, rather a notification. Because in Zandalari Reid and Rastakhan have already signed the contract. Allies have been found, and sending troops is certain.
On Zandalar Island, Reed asked Niebuhr's opinion on this matter, and Niebuhr's attitude towards this matter was in favor. But the problem is that in addition to humans and trolls, the vast sea protector also has goblins. The Knicks are the tech lead, and he can't speak for Norgefogg's attitude.
However, to Li De's surprise, Nogfogg was just pondering on the side. On the contrary, Haggard was the first to express his position.
"Duhu, it is my duty to return to my homeland to fight the orcs. From a rational point of view, our development is just on the right track, and now we are going to fight again. Apart from our centenarian regular army, it is difficult to recruit young adults. Enlisted, our population is too small."
The centenarian regular army that Haggad referred to refers to the soldiers of the human race, and he also spoke from the perspective of the human race. Because in his opinion, the war on another continent is a human race, and he is not qualified to speak for trolls and goblins.
But what Haggard didn't expect was that his words angered a person.
"Minister Haggard, I don't like to hear what you say! Are you treating us sand trolls as outsiders?! If it wasn't for the protection of the protector, we would have died in Antusur long ago. How can we get back the Loa tradition and live a good life like today?!
Now is the time when Tuhu needs help, will the sand trolls forget their past kindness? ! No matter what the enemy is, I, Anggagu, are never ambiguous! Of the 1,000 regular army of sand trolls, no one is a coward! "
Ang Gagu's call was sonorous and powerful. Although he didn't really have an opinion on Haggard, it also conveyed a message: the Hu Hai Duhu is a whole, and everyone performs their own duties. As the chief of civil affairs, it was somewhat inappropriate for Haggard to go beyond the military executives to express the position of the human race on military issues.
Niebuhr and Brad looked at each other and both signaled to Ang Gagu not to worry, and then both conveyed the attitude of the Military and Political Department to Li De through their eyes.
It's just that other than that, no one spoke, because everyone present knew that the most important thing at the moment was Nogfogg's attitude.
Thinking of this, Niebuhr couldn't help but complained about Anggagu's impatience. His remarks just now made it seem as if the human race and the trolls were forcing the goblins to express their stance.
Of course, even if he complained in his heart. Niebuhr wouldn't show it at the meeting. Some words had one meaning in his heart, but when they said it, they had another meaning.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Nogfogg, who had not spoken for a long time, sighed and said.
"I know that Tuhu's war participation plan is tied to the immigration plan.
Now that the war on the Eastern Kingdom continent has entered its final stage, it is the best time for us to join the war: the war will end soon and will not cost us too much energy.
And once the war is won, it will be of great benefit to us; even if we lose the war, we, who are in another continent, have unlimited room for maneuver.
What's more, we have now won the ally of Zandalar. It can be said that we have a huge strategic advantage, and whoever makes this decision must agree to participate in the war.
I agree with your proposal to join the war, but in the end I still want to remind you to protect you.
As the leader of the Hanhai Protector, you naturally have the highest decision-making power. But please don't forget that the Protector of the Ocean is the result of the joint efforts of the three clans. The habit of acting arbitrarily is not a good thing for our development. "
Li De stood up solemnly and made a sincere positive statement on Nogfogg's words.
"Thank you for your trust in me. What we are going to participate in is a just war that suits our interests. At the same time, I assure you that in the future, before making major decisions, we must first pass discussions at the Supreme Council, which will form clear system."
After getting an answer that satisfies him, Nogfogg no longer hesitated at this moment, and instead proposed to Li De again that since he decided to participate in the war, he should plan a part of the workshop and do his best to produce for the war.
Li De agreed with this, and now, with Loa's guidance, the 2,000 idle young men in Zul'Farrak can finally be put into production.
In the next period of time, the production capacity of Hanhai Duhu will usher in a wave of explosions:
Sufficient human resources, technology, raw materials and currency, so that internal circulation can be formed. The internal circulation is based on the large purchase of food and other living materials from Kezan. Next, as long as we can use commodities to open up Kezan's market, we can also form an external circulation in terms of foreign trade.
This is the so-called dual cycle, and Hanhai Duhu can achieve a real economic take-off.
So far, the meeting has finally come to a successful conclusion. Just as it was about to end, Li De stopped everyone.
"Everyone, don't forget that we still have an agreement with Jenny."
Nogfogg was a little helpless. He thought Li De had forgotten about it. He could only stand up and say that he had brought his daughter over from next door in person, and in such a short distance, he did not forget to tell her not to talk nonsense.
When Jenny made the "spinning wheel" and put it in front of everyone, many people shook their heads subconsciously. It is not so much a spinning wheel, but rather a child's toy. It is just a simple roller driving three rotating shafts, and a splint is used instead of hands to arrange the fibers.
Jenny shook the roller with one hand to drive the three spindles to rotate, while the other hand moved the splint back and forth to control the arranged fibers to be twisted into yarns under high-speed rotation.
"This kind of thing has no practical significance at all. It seems that the splint can control multiple threads and free hands, but in fact, the splint can't do the fine control of the fiber arrangement like the hand, and the thickness of the spun thread. Uneven, the quality is not up to standard at all.”
The little girl was very dissatisfied with what Nogfogg said, but Li De said with a smile.
"Why do we have to work behind closed doors for those of us who don't know how to do it? Invite professionals to come and take a look."
Soon Primilo invited Giorgio Polillo who was working.
"Mr. Polliro, one of my little friends said she invented a more efficient spinning machine. Are you interested in giving us a review?"
Giorgio was delighted at the first sight of Jenny. Recently, this little girl has often come to his workshop to watch him spinning, and they have long been acquaintances with each other.
"Duhu, I know Jenny's invention. Her idea is very good, but there are many problems in actual operation. The splint can't be adjusted like a hand, and the arrangement of fibers can be adjusted at any time, and the spun thread cannot be woven."
Nogfogg, who was supported by Giorgio, was very happy.
"Professionals say the same, we shouldn't waste time on this."
After speaking, Nogfogg also persuaded his daughter.
"Give it up, your invention won't work. Goblins have never been a race that is good at weaving. You should spend your time in meaningful places, such as inheriting my mantle and learning real engineering."
The little girl retorted without flinching.
"As long as I comb the fibers as smoothly as possible in the early stage, I don't need to adjust them by hand."
Everyone looked at Giorgio again, the senior tailor said after thinking.
"It's still not realistic. It takes a lot of time to comb the fibers in order to make the fibers reach the level that the plywood can handle. I have already spun a lot of threads."
"But I can spin three threads at the same time. As long as I start spinning, I can quickly recover the preparation time I spent before!"
This time, without waiting for others to ask, Jenny said it immediately.
Seeing that no one was convinced by the current situation, Li De finally spoke.
"It's better to have a game, and practice to bring out the true knowledge. Since neither of the two sides regresses, let Mr. Giorgio and Jenny compare and speak with facts."
Hearing this, everyone's reaction was different. Little Jenny cheered happily, Nogfogg and several other relatively older people shook their heads and sighed, and Giorgio Polillo couldn't help but smile bitterly:
'What's the matter... Okay, just pull me over from work to coax the kids...'
The venue for the competition was chosen at the workshop. Little Jenny sat on the small bench confidently tinkering with her spinning machine, while Giorgio sat in front of the two spinning wheels with no expression.
Li De served as the referee for this match:
"On my left is Mr. Giorgio's artificial team, and on my right is Jenny's machine team. In order to ensure the fairness of the game, both of them are using half a catty of cotton that has undergone preliminary seed removal. . Now both sides have a minute to prepare, and when I put my hands down, the game officially begins."
The others stood behind them and looked at Li De in confusion, thinking that there was so much work to be done in the Tuori, how could he still have such a big playfulness?
With Li De's hand down, both of them started to operate. Little Jenny grabbed a ball of cotton from the bucket and put it on the needle board to comb the cotton fibers with great effort.
On the other hand, Giorgio took out two **** of cotton from the bucket, and after some kneading, he took out two threads from the cotton sliver, hooked it on the spindle on the spinning wheel, and stepped on the pedals rhythmically with both feet, and the flywheel began to speed up. Turn slowly.
Giorgio's hands changed directions back and forth with the spinning of the spindle, and soon he stretched out two long threads. Sitting in front of the spinning wheel was like conducting a performance, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
At this time, everyone looked at the little girl again. Several minutes passed before Jenny sorted out three neat slivers, clipped them on the wooden board, and finally started spinning. Jenny shook the flywheel awkwardly while pushing and pulling the splint.
During the whole process, the cable was torn off several times due to Jenny's improper operation, so the only option is to stop the operation and connect the cable before continuing.
After more than 40 minutes, Giorgio successfully spun half a catty of cotton into several bundles of thread, neatly stacking them aside. But looking at Jenny again, less than half of the cotton is used, dozens of turns of thread are wrapped around the three spindles, and the rest are still semi-finished products hanging on the plywood.
The result was obvious. Little Jenny lost quite thoroughly, but many people's faces showed thoughtful expressions.
Li De took three rolls of semi-finished products from Jenny's spinning machine and distributed them to everyone. The quality of this thread is definitely not as good as that spun by Giorgio, but it is still above the standard line.
No one pointed at such an unfamiliar little girl better than Giorgio, a skilled senior tailor. But the competition just now confirmed that Jenny's invention can really spin a qualified thread. This is just a little girl. If this prototype machine is improved and operated by an adult, can it really beat Georgie? O'Polillo?
"Don't be discouraged, you have done a good job. If you improve it, you will definitely be able to do better."
Polillo left his seat at this moment to comfort little Jenny. He didn't intend to seriously compete with a child at first, but the speed just now was still under the condition that he released water. Now, as a "winner", of course he has to coax the child.
But at this moment, Li De suddenly asked a question.
"Mr. Polilo, if I can help you process a large number of regular long slivers that have been pressed in advance, will it help your spinning speed?"
Just now, Jenny's actions were all seen by Polliro, and of course she could understand what Li De was talking about.
"I'm afraid not. For me, no matter how many slivers I pre-fabricate in advance, I can only operate with my hands in the end, and my spinning speed only depends on my hands.
Of course, if applied on this machine, it would really help. If a large number of slivers are processed in advance, I think even an ordinary worker can spin the thread at my level after practice. "
Polliro doesn't have the dark idea that after the improvement and popularization of this machine, he will be unemployed. His first identity is a tailor. If he can save the tedious weaving process and have a large amount of cloth for him to make clothes, he will not be happy. .
Hearing the professional certification, this thing can make ordinary workers reach the level of Bolero, everyone is a little jealous, although the premise is to manufacture a machine for processing cotton sliver, but as long as there are enough new spinning machines, trained There are enough skilled workers to offset the upfront costs.
Little Jenny looked at Polliro with joy. She almost thought she heard it wrong, and her "opponent" even supported her.
Only Li De shook his head. Everyone present, including Little Jenny, the inventor, didn't know enough about this machine, and didn't realize what it meant.
"It's small, and the layout is small. Since both hands have been freed, why are there only three spindles? Why not, on this basis, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com manufactures a spinning machine that can drive dozens or even hundreds of spindles. Yarn machine?"
This sentence frightened everyone, spinning dozens or hundreds of spindles at the same time? How big should this be? !
"This is impossible…"
Polliro shook his head subconsciously.
"How much force does it take to turn the flywheel to drive so many spindles? Humans simply can't do it."
Li De smiled.
"Why do you use human power? You've already built such a big machine, so naturally you have to replace it with a more powerful one, such as... a steam engine?"
It was as if a barrier in his mind had been pierced through by Nogforge, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Minister Nogforge, Dean Bigowitz, machines that press sliver and spinning machines powered by steam are not difficult for goblin skills, right?"
For a race that is skilled at knocking mechas, this kind of thing is simply a matter of paediatrics.
"It turned out to be such a simple truth, how could we not have thought of it earlier?!"
Li De walked over and hugged little Jenny.
"I would say that children have unparalleled creativity, and I would also like to thank Jenny for broadening my mind."
This is why Nogfogg couldn't help but look at his daughter with some shame, but then a proud look appeared on his face. While Nogfogg was proud of his daughter, another grand plan came to his mind.
If the steam-powered spinning machine can be realized, the cost of the textile industry will be reduced to an unimaginable level. With such a low cost, Nogfogg is confident that the world's textile market will be crushed!
On such an ordinary afternoon, the Industrial Revolution began!
