Lin didn't have the energy to reply to the conclusion that that person had somehow come to. He didn't rashly lift the night starry sky just because the other party turned around and left. Instead, he waits until the other party crosses the line of attack, then leaves without looking back. Only then does he dare to lift the magic until he is out of his observation range. At the same time, the feeling of fear and nervousness also eased slightly.

But he was able to slow down, but the masters who were forced to watch the whole scene couldn't. Because the opponent is the trouble for that empire. From the appearance and ability, no one thinks that the opponent is a fake.

Although Lin still cooperated with the dean's manpower to tidy up the lecture theater. At the same time, I went back and changed my clothes before I could continue class. Otherwise, the original set has long been decayed by the continuous flashing technique. Just a hair's breadth away, someone has to swing the pendulum and teach from the podium.

That kind of picture is so beautiful that no one wants to see it. So the masters waited a little longer and asked Lin to go back and change clothes. Even so, it is rare to have such a class where everyone's mind is not on mathematics, but just staring at the lecturer.

Regarding the prince's matter, Lin of course took this opportunity to ask Principal Kabanbai after class. I also learned all kinds of ridiculous things about the Demon Prince from this old man's mouth. He also confirmed the fact that he would have to deal with this person next.

To the Gwana Empire, the Demon Prince Azad Kazalnia is the supreme force in the empire, but it is a sword that no one can hold. Because he has no hilt or quill, and his whole body is an open sword blade. If you want to hold it to hurt others, you will definitely hurt yourself before hurting others. Even if his emperor comes forward, it won't be of any use.

All his actions are unpredictable. Generally speaking, if you get him interested, he will keep playing until he gets tired of it. In recent times, the most prominent figure in the Holy City of Estali is undoubtedly a guy who wants to establish mathematical authority. It is simply impossible not to attract that person's attention.

After confirming that he couldn't hide or escape, Lin simply stopped worrying about that person. As the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will flood them. This is a clear teaching from the ancients. You have more important things to do, and you can't worry about things that are beyond your control all day long. Anyway, I was sure of one thing, at least I still had the ability to protect myself.

It is said that there is a mountain as high as a mountain, and the strongest will have the strongest. I thought I could walk sideways in the world, but the result was a slap in the face, which made me dizzy. As expected, you have to be patient and don't waste time. This is the way to live a long life.

Putting aside the things that cannot be solved at this stage, it is said that the collection of moth species has come to an end for the time being. There are many kinds of silk threads that can be used, but to find the most suitable among them, observation and research are needed. In any case, it takes time to raise the larvae to the point where they spin silk and form cocoons.

As for the large piece of filthy garbage that someone suddenly brought back after being missing for a night, Lin only briefly told the origin and then piled it in a corner of the warehouse without using it for the time being. Because we know from previous experiments that the most suitable time to use the dragon language sonic enchantment method is during the silk reeling stage. After the silk thread has been formed, and then uses the same method to enchant, the effect will be greatly reduced.

As for what to do with the large piece of silk cocoon remnant given by the Demon Moth King, Lin still had no idea in his heart. In order to avoid waste, the best way is of course to leave it alone and ignore it.

Anyway, according to what the huge lady said, many of the parts that it cannot digest or destroy by itself are left behind by the larvae that she reincarnated into several lives ago. It can be kept for such a long time, and it won't break after being left alone for a few years.

Although the best moth species and the most suitable ratio of silk threads of different moth species have not yet been found. But experiments all along have also proven that Midland does have moth species and silk cocoons suitable for making magic silk. So Lin plans to start the next phase of his plan, which is weaving.

If it were just a matter of simply weaving, with the warp threads laying the foundation and the shuttle carrying the weft threads back and forth, such simple machines would already have existed in the world, and their development would be pretty good. At least there is no need for women to tie one end of the cloth to their feet and weave day and night. The length of the cloth cannot be more than a few feet, and the cloth cannot be very wide.

With the cloth, the next pattern depends on the embroiderer's skill. Various patterns of insects, fish, birds and beasts, realistic, abstract, symmetrical geometric patterns. In comparison, the skills of dyeing cloth are not as abundant as those of embroidery workers in Midi. But with the support of people with money and leisure, such as nobles, both have good prospects for development.

The production of lace can be said to be the most praised skill among the textile crafts of Midi. Not only female nobles like to use lace to decorate their clothes, but men also like to use it. Even common people dream of having a formal dress decorated with lace in their lives and wear it on the most important occasions.

To weave an entire piece of clothing using lace techniques requires dozens or hundreds of craftsmen, taking months or even years to produce. Being able to wear such clothes, even just for a wedding, is what all noble girls would yearn for.

But the form of lace itself makes it impossible to become a favorite equipment for magicians. Because it is hollowed out everywhere, it is impossible to draw any magic circle on it; there is no problem in adding magic in other ways, but the lace is too fragile and can be easily damaged. There is no bikini armor in Midi. The less fabric, the higher the defense power of the magical equipment.

However, there was once a magician who used his superb skills to weave lace into the shape of a magic circle and made a fully woven magic lace robe. But later on, no one did it anymore. Whether it looked good or not was secondary. The biggest reason was that it was not conducive to fighting.

Just like most warriors, they like to keep their hair short, or even bald, in order to prevent their hair from being grabbed by the enemy and thus suffering a greater blow. A robe full of holes, it would be a big deal if the wearer only uses long-range attacks; if the magician in the Lost Land loves to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, that would be bad.

In addition, clothes full of lace are not the best equipment for adventurers. Like when walking through the forest, it is easy to catch some branches. If the hook is broken, it will cause distress; if it is not hooked, it will hinder movement.

For various reasons, lace has become an exclusive dress for nobles, but not for magicians. And based on pragmatism, clothing that is useless in battle will not be worn in a magician's party. Because who knows if the masters will suddenly start filming in the middle of eating and drinking. In this situation, the magician who came over would not wait for someone to change into combat equipment.

What someone wants to do is certainly not to transform Midi's existing craftsmanship, that is, to improve lace, nor is it simply to weave Midi-style plain homespun cloth.

What Lin wanted to do was introduce a technology that was not yet available in Midi, namely the use of jacquard machines to weave silk. The patterns on the Midi silks I had seen before were all embroidered. Not only the silk from Midi, but also the patterns on other fabrics are either embroidery or cloth flowers. Even dyed fabrics are still a single color, let alone fabrics with their own patterns.

However, the ultimate achievement of the Jacquard loom technology is Shu Brocade.

Lin still remembered that before he traveled through time, he couldn't distinguish between brocade and embroidery. But one time I saw an introduction to the weaving technology of Sichuan brocade on a TV program, and I was shocked. It turns out that in ancient China, there was this level of black technology that could use jacquard machines to make such exquisite fabrics. Not all fabrics are embroidered by people, stitch by stitch.

For this reason, I also did some research on the jacquard machine of Sichuan brocade and the evolution history of the jacquard machine. Maybe I'm in a state of confusion. It's very difficult to create a high-level work of art like Shu Brocade. But using jacquard technology to make the woven cloth have its own pattern is just a matter of mathematics and industrial design.

Therefore, based on the wooden flower-making Shu brocade machine that he had studied before, Lin began to produce a Midi version of the automatic jacquard machine that matched automated machines and program control.

With the ability of a magician, one of the most wonderful things about doing research and development in the land is that it is very convenient to make equipment and modify parts.

Magic materials are always used, and the production is entirely done using magic shaping techniques. Slight errors on the parts can be directly improved using plastic molding. There is no need to remanufacture parts, or pick up files and sandpaper and polish until you doubt your life.

And because the various magical metals in the Lost Lands are powerful enough, they do not exist at all, and there is no need for material science. After purification, all magic metals are presented and utilized in their original flavor.

If on Earth, after an alloy part becomes obsolete during the research and development process, the cost of recycling it for separation and reuse would probably be much greater than discarding the old one and making a new one directly.

But there is no such problem in Lost Land. Because each part is made of a single metal material, even if it is broken, or if any part needs to be knocked out and reworked, the scrap part can be easily turned back into a metal ingot and reshaped according to your own needs.

If the machines enter the stage of mass production and are all made of magic metal, it will be like a farmer driving a strange hand to plow the fields. The cost, efficiency, and benefits are completely unequal.

But if the RDs on Earth knew about the various benefits of using magic metal in the research and development stage, I'm afraid 11 out of 10 people would shed tears. The extra one is the boss, because I don’t know how much I saved just in terms of materials.

Counterfeiting the original Hualou Shu Brocade Machine is not a big problem under someone's perverted memory nowadays. Keep all the details in mind. Although I have never actually operated it, I have seen a lot of related videos and instructions. Although the public information didn't really scratch the itch, after thinking about it with other people, I can still understand the functions of each part.

Anyway, I want to make magical modifications after all, not to completely transplant the Shu brocade craftsmanship, so I don’t have many requirements for understanding every detail.

As for the production of the jacquard machine, Lin did not have the technical guild headed by Uzov Gantia. Every part was made by himself; the two apprentices helped out when they were free.
