Speaking of civilian use, spinning machines are nothing. Looms are used more. Which weaver does not have one or two looms at home?

However, the loom was quite backward at this time, basically relying on manpower and was very inefficient.

Yang Cong originally had the term "Flying Loom" in his mind, but he was not a weaver and had never seen weaving cloth in his previous life. Therefore, he really didn't understand what "Flying Loom" was.

After seeing several weavering children weaving cloth, he suddenly remembered that this "shuttle loom" is actually the case, but no one thought of improving the shuttle.

He walked to the loom, pointed to the shuttle beside him and asked, "Didn't you think about using a steam engine to control this shuttle?"

All the children of the weaver were stunned when they asked this.

The shuttle has to shuttle back and forth from the middle of the cloth. It is controlled by a steam engine. How to control it?

Could it be that the steam engine is not plugged in the middle?

Yang Cong picked up the shuttle and looked carefully, then glued the yarn on it and guided it: "Look, the yarn in the middle of the shuttle is the key to controlling the shuttle with a steam engine. We can completely straighten the thread, then wrap it around a larger wheel, and then use the steam engine to control the wheel, then place the valve that controls the steam engine under your feet, step on the switch, the steam engine connecting rod extends out, the wheel rotates forward, the shuttle passes from the cloth to the other side, and step on another switch, the steam engine connecting rod retracts, the wheel reverses, and the shuttle passes from the cloth to the next side, and then repeats itself, isn't this shuttle extremely fast?"

If this guy is like this, the shuttle will not fly!

The children of the weaver family looked at Yang Cong with respect. This method was really not something that ordinary people could think of.

It's not over yet, Yang Cong pointed to the tightly clothed sieve again and said, "There is also this sieve. Every time you have to hold it with both hands and hit it back and forth a few times. This can also be controlled by a steam engine. Also, place the switch under your feet, hit it back and forth with one foot, which is even easier. Moreover, the impact of the steam engine is completely consistent, and the weaving cloth will definitely be more uniform. Do you think it is?"

Now, the children of the weaver households were even more impressed. Lord Yang improved the weaver a lot in a few words. If he added two steam engines according to his words, the efficiency of weaver will be improved many times. Moreover, people will not be tired because they just sit there and step on the valve switch, and they don’t need to use any force at all.

You know, in the past, weaving cloth required people to bend over and lie there, and keep exerting force on both hands and feet. Even the most powerful weaving household would be tired and sore after weaving for several hours.

It's different now. The part that comes out is done by the steam engine. People only need to sit there and step on a few steps. Even ordinary weavers will not be tired if they sit there for a day.

Unexpectedly, it's not over yet.

Yang Cong immediately encouraged: "The invention and creation of this machine are endless. Don't think that the loom will be finished by changing it like this. In fact, as long as you can study hard, you can invent a loom that does not require human operation!"

Is this still true?

When the children of weaver households heard this, they were all stunned. They didn’t need to operate it. How could this weave cloth machine?

Yang Cong explained in detail: "You should be quite clear that weaving only has a few actions, and they are constantly repeating back and forth. If each action is controlled by a steam engine, and their valves and connecting rods are connected together, the connecting rod of this action controls the next action valve. In this way, as long as the steam is opened, will the loom start to move by itself?"

Yes, the connecting rod control valve can be used!

When a group of weaver disciples heard this, their eyes were shining. At this time, their minds were not thinking about the problem of money. They just wanted to make such a loom that did not require human control. If they could "invent" such a powerful loom, it would be awesome.

However, when they didn't think about the problem of money, Yang Cong began to consider the problem of money. After all, this reward is the key to stimulating all disciples to study hard. If Zhao Qi just "invented" the embryo puller and received a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, others would not have the reward, and the enthusiasm of these disciples would probably cool down soon.

He thought for a while and then encouraged, "I won't pay the reward this time, but you don't have to be discouraged. If you can make a spinning machine that spins more than a dozen yarns at the same time, I will reward you with one thousand taels. If you can make an automatic loom that does not require human control, I will reward you with ten thousand taels each. Moreover, I will help you set up a factory. From now on, you will make spinning machines and looms to sell. For each one you sell, you will all pay dividends!"

This guy is amazing. As long as they make the spinning machine and loom, they will be rewarded with 11,000 taels per person. Moreover, they can also make money by selling spinning machines and looms in the future, and the profit is even more incalculable.

The children of the weaver were excited and blushed. They stared at the spinning machine and the weaver's eyes were green. They seemed to want to install the steam machine immediately, and make a lot of trouble, and make the multi-strand spinning machine and automatic loom described by Yang Cong. You know, it's tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Yang Cong's promise to the children of the Weaver quickly spread throughout the School of Physics, and all the disciples were so excited that they were extremely excited. Everyone who participated had a share, and it was less than ten thousand taels, so why don't you try your best to do it!

When they fought desperately, all kinds of machinery emerged like mushrooms after a rain.

This guy is very knowledgeable, and some of them have never seen him.

For example, something that several farmers "invented" by Yang Cong was shocked.

On that day, early in the morning, Wang Xuan hurried over to find Yang Cong, saying that his disciples had invented something new, and his expression was quite excited, as if it was something good.

Yang Cong naturally accompanied him to "acceptance" with great interest.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xuan did not take Yang Cong to the Mechanical School or to the Hardware School this time, but instead took him directly to the river west of Yuyuantan.

This Yuyuan Pond is connected to the Huaihe River system, and rivers are connected at both ends. Yang Cong knew about this. He just didn't expect that Wang Xuan would bring him to the edge of the river.

There are farmland on the edge of this big river, and it is no longer the territory of their School of Physics.

At this time, several farmers were jokingly fiddling with a big guy next to the pergola by the river.

How can I describe this big guy? It is a bit similar to the big water truck standing by the river, and a bit similar to the small water truck that is stepped on with feet. In short, it is a water truck with many square wooden barrels per foot on it.

When the children of farmers saw Wang Xuan leading Yang Cong over, they immediately opened the valve of the steam engine next to the water truck like offering treasures. This guy, the huge water truck, suddenly started to operate, buckets of river water were continuously lifted up and poured into the canal above. The water level of the canal suddenly rose and continued to flow into the distance.

This thing is good!

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but stroking his hands and praising him. You know, farmland water conservancy is a top priority now. With this thing, I don't know how much farmland needs to be profitable. This is definitely a very practical good thing.

These guys finally "invented" something truly practical.

Before he could get the reward, the children of farmers pushed out a huge guy from the shed next to the water truck and started showing off like a treasure.

Damn, what kind of monster is this!

This thing turned out to be a huge flatbed car. The flatbed car is probably not a square foot. However, it is not empty on top, but is full of stoves, kettles and copper pipes. There are not just wheels below, but also a row of iron plows.

As soon as this guy started the steam engine, the monster slowly moved forward. The place where he passed was turned up to a foot high!

This "invention" is really quite creative, but it seems a bit too wasteful to use it to plow the fields?
Chapter completed!
