Pure polyester is not a particularly good choice as a clothing fabric.
The advantages of polyester are wrinkle resistance, friction resistance, and high temperature resistance, especially high temperature. It can withstand temperatures above 200 degrees, which means that a flash without sustained power will not ignite it directly, so it is more suitable for people with higher risks. occasion.
The disadvantages are that it is difficult to color and its elasticity is too low. Its elasticity is equivalent to that of animal hair, and its non-deformation range is about 5% of its own length.
As for clothing, insufficient elasticity is a serious flaw, requiring further research on weaving structure and blending technology, both of which take time.
But now there is nothing I can do. In order to make up for the huge vacancy that suddenly appeared due to the cold wind, I have to mount my horse even if I am not mature enough.
The market vacancy caused by the cold wind is not as simple as sales volume in a few months.
In terms of weight, as the cooling expectations have become a reality and will become more and more serious in the future, in addition to normal loss replacement, in the next two years, an additional total weight of twice the existing total clothing inventory will be required to ensure resistance near freezing points. Disease ability, and even more clothing types need to be added in order to resist the changes after freezing point.
The workload is very large, the existing fiber manufacturing capacity cannot fill the vacancies, and it is not suitable to build excessive new production capacity to cope with such short-term strong demand, so the new polyester is a good substitute.
Increasing the output of sacred tree fiber is also an option, but considering the development of the manufacturing industry, it will not be chosen until the moment there is no other way.
The set of clothes Wang Qi bought was an earthy gray collarless outer coat. It was separated by a layer. It felt a bit like work clothes, slightly thinner.
Li Xiang was beside him, twirling his sleeves or clothes corners from time to time: "It's indeed anti-wrinkle, but the feeling is a bit counter-intuitive."
"It's a bit rough, but I think it's okay."
In traditional fabrics, anti-wrinkle and roughness are two attributes that are not compatible with each other. Normal anti-wrinkle fabrics tend to have a skin texture or are more silky.
The clothes in the palace of the two people also have high-end magic fabrics. Under the classification of weaving techniques of damask, Luo, silk, satin, silk and brocade, they are closer to satin, silky and wrinkle-resistant, but easy to damage. You can also see it from here. Come out, the characteristics of polyester are different from traditional fibers.
Of course, satin is a weaving technique. In terms of the fiber itself, the finished product made of polyester with satin weaving will also eliminate the wear-resistant advantage. However, judging from the existing chemical fiber production process, the smoothness of polyester fibers cannot be achieved by satin weaving, so this comparison is still not very appropriate.
In short, there is still work to be done on this new material in the future.
Since magic fabric was mentioned, Wang Qi also read relevant information when arranging the ice age plan, but unfortunately, it was not a good choice.
Magic fabrics are a big category. There are only two categories of magic fabrics in the penal colony. The historical continuity in the main world is better. You can see more than four categories just when you go shopping.
These two categories are essentially renamed, namely the ankylosing method and the imitation leather method.
The ankylosing method is a magical treatment method that forcibly straightens natural fibers. It is also because of this link that it can be called magic fabric. According to the needs of different customer groups, the ankylosing method will also have some magical protection and fiber strength enhancement. It is not expected that the fiber can provide high protection for ready-made clothing. To really resist magic or pre-loaded magic, additional processing is required.
As the name suggests, the imitation leather method is the technology of imitating leather, and the raw materials are mostly plant fibers. It is rumored that someone has tried to use silver to make imitation leather dresses. If the rumors are true, the items should be returned to the Fatel royal family.
Due to the average temperature around the Luna River, the category of leather clothing had no sense of existence before the island became a floating island. The imitation leather method was mainly used to make items such as mage's ribbons and magic prop bags to avoid the impact of real leather on certain magic materials and The effects of spells.
According to the documents Wang Qi has read, these two production methods do have the possibility of batch processing. However, the process is too complicated and the raw materials are relatively scarce, which is not helpful in providing additional production capacity. If you have this spare time, build a few more spinning machines. How nice.
There isn't much that can be done about fabrics, the only thing left is to step up production.
Wang Qi was wearing newly bought rough clothes, his attention was drawn away from the fabric, and he was thinking about the manpower of the large engineering project.
Large-scale engineering projects are an important strategy for immigrants to integrate into society, starting with the Emerald River Channel Project and the Fenggu Artificial Lake Project, followed by some smaller-scale projects by Pang Xun, followed by the Central Cooling Tower and the Reservoir Area Comprehensive Engineering Group.
At this stage, the manpower is concentrated on the Heishui-Junction-West Crossing-Swamp Area water source project and the Fenggu Railway West Ring Line swamp area protection project.
The water source project cannot be moved because it involves the development of production capacity in three cities, and Wang Qi's idea is the latter.
The first purpose of the swamp area protection project is to protect the Western Ring Line of the Wind Valley Railway from being damaged by wild beasts in the swamp area. The second is to provide mosquito protection belts to the outposts on the border of the floating islands to reduce the risk of soldiers contracting diseases and improve the quality of the garrison.
Wang Qi's military strategy was to defend the enemy from outside the country to ensure the speed of internal development. Affected by the disaster during the floating island period, the chaos caused by the demons, and the impact of some rescue projects, the kingdom's actual control area is not only the three islands of Phoenix, Fenggu, and Pangxun, but also includes Jinhong, West Prairie, and Eastern Island. buffer zone.
Before being transformed into a floating island, the west side of Fenggu was a continuous mountainous area that isolated the local area from the land connection with Wengji. During the process of being transformed into a floating island, part of the mountainous area collapsed. According to the actual phenomenon that the smaller the volume, the lower it floats, the west side The island is more than a thousand meters lower than the Fenggu plate.
Such a height difference will not provide a habitat for the demons, but will make them more vulnerable to beatings. With the assistance of telescopes and telephone lines, the fighter planes over there have not yet reached the height of the wind valley, and the fighter planes here have taken off first. In an instant, it was a joint attack by land and air.
Due to the favorable geographical location, several points where sacred tree outposts have been deployed can detect groups of demons immediately.
Therefore, the western half of Fenggu is not so anxious to complete the comprehensive military deployment, and can delay the progress of the swamp area protection project.
This part of the labor force is mobilized and has a lot of tasks.
The more urgent matters are mainly the addition and improvement of glass greenhouses.
The proportion of non-greenhouse agriculture is 40%, which is not high in absolute terms. With the sugar and nuts from the sacred tree as a guarantee, a smooth transition is not a problem.
But Wang Qi also needs to protect the external market. With most tasks already arranged, and when there is spare capacity, he hopes that agriculture can transition without fluctuations in output or even maintain a growth rate.
This requirement will bring additional incremental growth to the newly built greenhouses, and the labor force in the original related industries will not be enough.
Not only construction and transportation, but also a huge test on the production capacity of the glass factory. Perhaps we should consider separating a separate conventional glass factory from the existing glass factory and adding a float glass production line.
In addition to the work on the glass greenhouse, the further improvement of the evacuation system also requires labor. If both of these can be accelerated, then the improvement of the building's thermal insulation capacity must be considered, and the project must at least be started near freezing point.
