As a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder who pursues perfection, how could he be satisfied with the quality level of this trial work. Use the flash technique to take the brocade handkerchief back from the Lich's hand. At that moment, the glance that came over me was like ice, making someone think that my life was about to end. Fortunately, the owner of those beautiful eyes quickly returned to normal, staring straight at someone without saying a word.
Of course Lin knew that he was waiting for his explanation. If you can't explain to the other party's satisfaction, I'm afraid you will have to suffer. So he hurriedly opened the brocade handkerchief with both hands, placed it in front of the three people, and said, "Look carefully at the picture above."
At the same time, he used his best light technique, and the workplace was suddenly illuminated as bright as day. Only then did the three women focus on the patterns on the brocade handkerchief.
The sparrow picture appears complete at first glance, and the brocade handkerchief appears to have few flaws until some of the spools run empty. In the eyes of Fen and Kaya, this is already a realistic picture of a sparrow, and they don't know what else the man is dissatisfied with. Only Halumi pouted her lips and squinted her eyes, feeling a lingering sense of incongruity.
"Did you see anything?" Lin asked again.
"Teacher, this seems a little weird," the blond girl said. But she also felt a little guilty when she said this. Because I can't clearly point out where the shortcomings are, I can only comment based on my feelings.
The teacher smiled and put the brocade handkerchief under the microscope on the work table for observation. Of course, the magnification does not need to be adjusted to the level of observing cells. It only needs to be magnified to a certain level to help examine the weaving results of the details of the brocade handkerchief.
In this way, many flaws in the drawings can be seen. The most important thing is that the rough edges of the pattern are not processed well, but because there are only one or two weft lines that are wrong, the errors cannot be seen at a glance. And this is a mistake in the jacquard.
There are also some weft lines mixed with wrong colors, but because there are only one or two, the overall look is not obvious. If you look closely, you will find that these are two parallel lines at the same position.
In addition, there are many subtle flaws, and this is the biggest difference between manual and machine production. When humans find errors, they naturally know to stop and correct them, and there is no need to worry about any unexpected situations. It's all wrong anyway. Stop and correct it. If you don't succeed, ask others. There's nothing difficult about it.
Machine production can only deal with the set situation accordingly. When encountering insufficient consideration, it will only make mistakes. Basically, this magically modified jacquard machine can weave a piece of brocade handkerchief, which for someone is already qualified, at least there are no serious mistakes that will cause damage to the fabric.
By the way, the enchanted thread is stronger than expected. I originally thought that there would be frequent disconnections and the need to reconnect, but it didn't happen. However, there is a situation where the spool runs out but the machine does not stop. This part needs to be corrected from the program aspect.
After pointing out various flaws in the magnified images of the microscope, Lin asked the three women: "So, judging from this performance, do you think we should correct the jacquard machine to be flawless, or should we just maintain this level?" Already?"
Shocked beyond words by the feeling of satisfaction, they shook their heads and nodded. Someone who is too clear can't guess what they want to express, but they probably know what they think.
There are some things in life that cannot be compromised. Not when you can achieve 100%, but you choose to achieve 60% easily. Anyway, make do with it. You will choose to compromise on something. If you don't care, there are other things you care about more that are weighed on the scales, and you can only make a choice in the end.
At first, everyone was puzzled that someone would insist on making such a complicated jacquard machine. But after seeing the finished product, none of the three women objected. Because fabrics like silk are meant to be made into clothes and worn on oneself. As long as the conditions permit and the ability is available, who doesn't want to take care of himself to perfection.
Therefore, with blazing fire in their eyes, even if the machine is a thousand times more complicated, they will continue to change it at all costs, as long as the finished product is flawless.
However, in addition to preparing to correct the discovered flaws, Lin also raised several issues that had not been thought of before. Including the order in which the bobbins of different colors are placed will also affect the position of the shuttle. How to place them can make the machine run most smoothly and quickly.
When the continuous adjacent heald lifting arms are operating, is there any delay time required to allow the robotic arm to have time to respond to the program's response? On the other hand, how to improve the sensitivity and response speed of the robotic arm so that it can keep up with the processing speed of the program. The final method for the second aspect is to change the structure of the heddle lifting arm to speed up the operation of the jacquard machine.
These require analyzing each color and each robotic arm from the frequency of use, and how to arrange them to avoid being too close and moving too frequently, causing "fights" to interfere with each other. Just like the arrangement of English keyboards on Earth, they claim to have scientifically researched the most efficient arrangement for typing. As for the truth, I won’t investigate it here.
When building machines, Lin focused on accuracy.
A machine must first be able to create what it wants before other elements can be of value. If even the most basic manufacturing products are not up to standard, even if the machine is shaped like a Transformer and runs so fast that it is difficult for the human eye to recognize it, it will be meaningless.
But after the sparrow brocade handkerchief was successfully made, Lin felt that he could consider the second key point, which was 'efficiency'.
According to someone's memory, Shu Brocade's public handicraft skills can only progress a few centimeters in one day. It took me half a day to complete a brocade handkerchief about fifteen centimeters using mechanized Shu brocade craftsmanship. In terms of efficiency, this jacquard machine that was modified regardless of cost is already much better than the traditional Shu Brocade technology. But is there room for further improvement that can be tapped?
In fact, for a novice in the textile industry, to what extent the efficiency must be improved to be considered qualified, someone is really blind and unable to understand. So in this regard, we can only do our best.
Don't look at the matter of continuing to modify the machine. It has nothing to do with Halumi. The blonde girl was also entrusted with an important task, which was to find a suitable dye.
Now the intention of their teacher in making this dizzyingly complicated jacquard machine is very clear to the apprentice. I just hope to use this machine to add complex patterns during the weaving process. And it seems that the complexity and fineness are not comparable to ordinary embroidery.
However, natural silk threads will vary in color depending on the moth species; even within the same moth species, the color of the silk threads will be slightly different. Whether it is a blend of silk threads or a single moth species, if you want to weave beautiful colors and express the cloth, that is, the silk that everyone wants to weave, like a painting, dyes are an unavoidable part. And this work was handed over to Halumi.
When the teacher gave the conditions for the best dye, in addition to the two basic requirements of being bright and washable, it is best to make it from magic materials to match magic silk. I also hope that the difficulty level is not that of a ghost. The investment cost up front is already large enough, and Lin doesn't want dye to become another insurmountable difficulty.
Finally, and most importantly: the dye ingredients must not be toxic!
Don't look at this as if it is a very basic requirement that no one will violate. In fact, when Lin was studying the history of Shu brocade, he happened to see a fatal episode in the history of world fashion.
The once beautiful and bright green was the color of death because green dye was a chemical dye made by chemists using arsenic. At that time, people who pursued fashion did not realize the harm and only pursued beautiful colors.
But not only female workers in manufacturing, but also women and children who wear green dresses and accessories are also affected. Skin ulcers, nerve damage, and even death. Therefore, for a long time, green was regarded as an ominous color.
Destroying oneself because of love for beauty, I believe this is not what anyone wants to see. So the teacher warned her very carefully that even a rebellious girl must think about her own life.
The reason why this task was given to Harumi was not only that she was keen on things such as color and beauty, but also because she could make use of the connections in the Ikaruga Alliance to inquire about this matter.
Although Lin doesn't have a good impression of that organization, because the people there are too subjective, and it's easy to use friendship to kidnap other people's choices. But it is undeniable that there are many amazing and talented people inside. In addition, those who travel north and south are also well-informed.
But just as Lin was immersed in making the jacquard machine, the discussion about him in the Holy City started a wave of enthusiasm. The main reason was of course the battle with the Demon Prince Azad. Being involved in the troubles in that empire is not news or a major event. He has done the most ridiculous things before. But being able to survive from his hands would definitely be big news.
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief. The so-called 'imperial trouble' has long been regarded as a disaster on the same level as natural disasters. In the face of natural disasters, manpower is sometimes scarce. If you meet someone, what else can you do? Of course you recognize it. But what does it mean to survive if you encounter it? No one dared to dwell on it.
It's just that there are too many witnesses, including many veteran magicians with considerable credibility. Although many people questioned their statement on the grounds that the witnesses were students in mathematics classes. But who dares to use that person’s name to spread rumors?
There is a reason why no one dares to mention his name. As long as any rumors related to the Demon Prince reached his ears, he would be very interested in confirming the truth personally. And not only the person involved in the rumor, but also the person who said these words will be called to greet them. Then these people will experience what it means to be moody and understand why that person is considered a natural disaster.
But this time, the person involved in the rumor is still alive and well, and has never missed the math class he is supposed to teach every day. Just when everyone thought that that person happened to be away from the Holy City, some people spoke a little more boldly, and then suffered disaster...
