24. Textile industry and advanced weapons (two)

[[[CP|W:400|H:300|A:L]]]

The spindles made of cotton yarn by Tongguò Valli are all in place, and unlike the spinning machine used by the elves, which is also widely used outside the valley, the [monster spinning machine in front of you (a certain elf grandmother jokingly won the title)], the spindles are placed perpendicular to the ground, and there is more than one unbelievable vertical spindle, and 80 spindles are densely placed, and the cotton yarn pulled out is connected to a spinning wheel.

[Symbol of the beginning of the Industrial Revolution], [The beginning of the first industrial revolution], [Milestone of textile technology], [Legend in the history of technological development]...... The essence left after the colorful dazzling halo has faded can be summed up in one sentence: industrial upgrading 1.0 - Jenny spinning machine, purpose: to make money.

The perfect and improved version of the 1784 spinning machine, which was kicked out by an English weaver in 1764, is quietly running to the exclamations of the villagers of Niflheim, thanks to the use of bearings made by hand by Albelich according to drawings and lubricated with animal fat. The elf granny who shakes the handle can spin effortlessly, and the technological progress of 1 to 80 is displayed in a simple and straightforward form.

The technological leap did not end there, but the underlying motivation for the Jenny spinning machine was placed on the new loom (Note). The assistant who had been standing at one end of the loom waiting to pick up the shuttle was gone, and the elf woman who fiddled with the loom operated the stick tied to the transmission belt, and the shuttle was constantly struck back and forth between the shuttle boxes at both ends of the chute, quickly weaving a cotton cloth wider and stronger than before.

Jacquard machine, straight line sewing machine because of the power source and progress problems are still in the planning, just a few Jenny spinning machine and shuttle loom almost to the dwarf's old life, in the smelting, casting mold technology development and perfect, inefficient manual refining to prevent a qiē textile machinery output expansion from the plan to the possibility of reality. The total of 6 prototypes is mainly for the demonstration of technical concepts and experiments, and the next batch of production models will be improved based on the collected numbers.

"It's a very good machine, with this thing, I can do 80 jobs one by one. ”

The mother-in-law who had tried the loom dusted off her apron, and the face that left the last trace of the charm of the past was filled with the naughty excitement of her youth, and the ancient species standing next to Li Lin was a little overwhelmed by the sudden energetic and charming smile at that age, quite dizzy, and ready to leave the stage for a break.

"That's why the new spinning wheels and looms are designed to save labor and increase production at the same time. ”

The reason for the [cost saving] that the commercial atmosphere was too strong was left in the mind, and the indifferent smile began to reveal majesty, and there was a hint of danger in the process.

"Ladies and gentlemen. All you need is a new spinning machine and a mother-in-law who can spin. We can equal 80 human spinners, and with a new loom and a woman who can weave, we can compete with many times as many human weavers. The cotton cloth is woven wider and stronger and cheaper than that made by humans. As long as there is enough cotton, spinning machines, looms, and weavers. It won't be long before we will reap a lot of gold coins from the human cotton market. ”

Men and women, young and old. The love of the elves was pushed to a boiling point by the bright prospect of real money and silver piling up in front of them. Li Lin had made it clear enough in his words that the villagers, whose economic minds were running at full speed, could foresee the various workshops that used the old textile machinery and a large number of textile laborers to maintain their operations in the face of the new textile machinery. Unless the human workshop owners adopt some obscene means, it is irreversible for a large number of workshops to go bankrupt or be merged. For a few years at most, the cotton spinning products produced in Niforheim will monopolize the market share of the entire human world. ...,

The other, like porcelain, is constantly exchanged for gold, silver, copper, cattle and sheep...... and so on, which makes the elves intoxicated.

"What about the royal purchasing rights, what if a bastard makes us exclusive to the royal family?"

Freya's apprehension shattered the eagerness in the blink of an eye, and a sad face appeared on the elves' faces as she remembered what she had heard the other day.

The inevitable bad government stands in the way of a physical mountain in front of the vision, and the elves greet all the female relatives of those who have come up with the royal purchasing power and related interest groups from the bottom of their hearts.

[A bunch of bitch bastards.] 】

Hidden in the bottom of his heart, or in the low volume of his mouth that only he can hear, the same foul words are repeated by the elves.

"That's not a problem. ”

The smile was flawless in response to the confusion and panic, as if the pessimistic prospect of being sniped by privilege that I had said a few days ago had suddenly become a joke that did not deserve to be called a "problem" at all.

"Guarding technical secrets, our competitors don't know how low our costs and sales are down. Use this to confuse them and make them make wrong judgments. Even if the purchasing officer makes a forced purchase, the loss is still within the tolerable range, and if the price war is carried out in the market for a long time, we will not be the one who cannot bear the loss caused by the low price and falls. ”

In the face of low-cost trade dumping with the support of high technology, unless national control measures are adopted, a resolute unified market is established to build sufficiently strong trade barriers. Otherwise, relying on the footprints of stragglers will not be able to form the climate at all. And the state controls ...... The nobles who did as they pleased in their own domains were always on guard against the central government's hand in local affairs. They knew very well that the repossession of their vital financial power by the central court would mean the end of their good days, which was an important reason why some nobles had been planning to join forces to destroy the coinage of the royal court and issue their own currency in their respective territories.

"Then why don't you use this method to avoid mining and buying porcelain?"

It was the emir who asked the question, and the old patriarch, who was angry about not being able to devote himself to porcelain production at full capacity, seemed to see hope for a revival of the nationwide porcelain production movement.

"Time is running out. ”

Li Lin's retort was like singing, and to the old patriarch it sounded like a funeral lament.

"The training time of porcelain workers is at least half a year, and at that time they will only get a group of junior workers who can make rough billets. In order to obtain a skilled zuò link, the senior porcelain worker must have no less than two years. Such a long time span is enough for our opponent to complete a qiē response, which is too bad for us. With weak strength, we can only concentrate our forces to defeat our opponents in the shortest possible time, and this is the only way out. Women who can weave cloth can be trained in textile machinery and produce enough cotton - the cotton textile industry with sufficient conditions is the best choice, and the competitors in the cotton textile industry are weaker than the enemies engaged in the manufacture and marketing of luxury goods, so we can concentrate on defeating them, and the huge profits from monopolizing the cotton spinning market are enough for us to expand the manufacture of porcelain. ”

Simplified and translated into the elf language, it is a roadmap for the upgrading of the manufacturing industry, a simple and easy-to-understand signpost for capital accumulation.

The development of low-value-added labor-intensive industries supports the start-up and development funds of high-value-added and low-energy industries, and in the process gradually hollows out human society -- just as a large East Asian country once did. The difference is that the elves have not exploited the economic crisis that has spread throughout the capitalist world, there are no interest groups that want to reduce costs and shift manufacturing, and they are not so lucky to meet a head of state who is willing to help another country build a complete industrial system. Like Nikita Khrushchev (Note 2), there are not many good comrades on the hidden front who [composed a hymn of loyalty with his actions] and [should be awarded a ton of medals], and he can only rely on Li Lin's knowledge and the elves' own efforts to work hard. ...,

[When the environment is suitable, it is also necessary to consider cultivating a spokesperson for interests within the human group, and the best model is a black president of a superpower who "watches the sea and listens to the waves" and "confers a tiger charm" (Note 3)]

The blackened belly slander of the first black commander in the history of [Genital Warts of the Plutock], [Empire of Human Hope], and [21st Century New Roman Empire] came to an end, and the corners of his mouth lit up like a blade.

"Food, medicine, clothing, housing, equipment, civilian, military...... In a maximum of twenty years, all the commodities in circulation of human society will be produced and controlled by us, and the scope of influence will completely exceed the economic level, and if we are willing, we will be able to destroy a country in an instant without a single soldier. ”

Completely incomprehensible to the speech, Thor, who looked ignorant, raised his hand and asked:

"Is this possible?"

Buying and selling can make the difference between life and death in a country. Such remarks are alarmist and exaggerated. No one, including the two human magicians, had ever heard of a country being brought down in this way.

The theory of money dying of the country - it sounds very tempting and humorous, but no one in the room can laugh.

It was Li Lin who said this.

Li Lin, who can always prove the correctness of his theories.

"There's a human army ready to attack here, no, don't be nervous. This is just a hypothesis. Imagine that the soldiers wore armor that would break when they were stabbed, and their swords broke in two with a single slash, and the wounds were worsened by life-saving medicine, and the food they ate in their stomachs caused them to vomit and diarrhea until they died. The number, equipment, morale, the level and personality of the commanders, the lines of action of the army, the supply routes of grain and grass of such an army...... We have the information, and we provide the ......."

Then they are dead. ”

Tyre, who gave the answer, suppressed the chill behind him, and no one could command an army that was well understood by his opponent and controlled by his opponent to seize victory. Unless the Mother Goddess Marfa wakes up from her slumber and comes to earth as a human - there may be a glimmer of hope that such a joke will come true.

Swallowing the saliva that did not exist in Zài, Tyr let out a terrified sigh like the rest of his life:

"Is anything a powerful weapon in your hands?"

"Actually, the probability of such a hypothetical scenario is not high, and the human army ...... Hehe, when we finish expanding the economy, the mob that has lost their jobs will probably give the GIs a headache for a while, and if they solve the mob, we will fund the orcs and humans to go to war and let them have a good time. ”

Humans kill orcs, and orcs kill humans. The elves who supplied the two sides with armaments, livestock, vehicles, clothing, food, grass, and medicine watched the two enemies fight frantically until they were killed, and at the same time made a lot of money.

The dark pleasure surged over the brain, and the heart knew that this strategic immorality was not benevolent, but the national psychological trauma caused by the historical memory of long-term persecution made the elves indulge in depraved pleasure.

[Hate humans, hate orcs], [The humiliation and torture inflicted on our generation are returned to the betrayer a thousand times. The above precepts were never merely a text that the elves had to memorize from childhood.

Commentary on the time of the small theater

Nidhogg: What is a shuttle loom?

Li Lin: In 1733, John Kaye, a British watchmaker, invented the shuttle. It greatly improves the efficiency of weaving, in the past, with ordinary shuttle, there must be two people to cooperate, now with the shuttle, one person can complete the weaving work, and can weave wider than before. Therefore, the invention of this shuttle greatly improved the weaving efficiency, but at this time the cotton yarn was not available, and at this time people urgently asked to invent a machine to improve the speed of spinning and provide more cotton yarn. So, in 1765, Hargreaves, a textile worker, invented the "Jenny spinning machine", which opened the prelude to the Industrial Revolution.

Niedhogg: And what about Khrushchev?

Li Lin: The 156 projects aided by the former Soviet Union started the pace of China's construction of an industrial system, and without Comrade Khrushchev's approval of this matter, it would have been difficult for New China to develop a complete industrial system including the nuclear industry and the military industry on its own, and there would be no foundation for China's rise today (I have to sigh that the rabbit is a bad luck). Of course, Khrushchev's original intention was to support a thug brother, but he didn't expect that this only apprentice who had become a talent never wanted to be anyone's subordinate, and when his wings were stiff, he would turn his face with the big brother. The rabbit's goal is to be a rogue leader, and his journey is the sea of stars.

Nidhogg: So what's the matter with watching the sea and listening to the waves? Could it be that the U.S. Imperialist Commander is actually a latent [deep sea]? Or is he a senior peripheral staff member of the war?

Li Lin: It's "(Ao) Guanhai Listening to the Tao (Brother's words)" again, and it is also the awarding of the Tiger Talisman for the transfer of troops, Guanhai is really a good comrade, and it is in his hoarse slogan attacking a certain side that the speed of the decline of a certain super has been further accelerated. Well, a hymn to loyalty......

Nidhogg: Looking at the sea, do you still remember the dream of a great country for rabbits on the shore of Daming Lake?
