My Island Survival in the Wild

Chapter 326 Automated Loom
For thousands of years, the loom has been the most important thing throughout human civilization.

From the very first single-thread looms, to the spinning jenny when industrial civilization began, to the automated looms of the 21st century, they have never left the stage of civilization.

Therefore, Lin Xiu wanted to establish his own civilized era in the wilderness, and a simple craft such as a loom was also necessary.

"Old irons, although the loom I'm going to make is based on an old-fashioned loom, but with the solar motor I got before, I plan to integrate automation elements into it, and then we can use electric energy to replace manual spinning !"

While searching for materials, Lin Xiu did not forget to explain his plan to the water friends in the live broadcast room.

The functions of the old-fashioned looms are perfect enough, and the reason why they will be eliminated by the times is only because the labor cost is too high and the speed is slow.

Now that he knows these problems exist, Lin Xiu can make improvements to the problems.

Moreover, there are only a few of them, and there are not many fabrics that can be used.

The problem of electricity can already be solved with solar motors.

At that time, he only needs to set up a circuit device in the textile machine, and then use the gear to make an automation device.

And with the universal forging furnace, it is easier to solve the problems of gear devices.

This time, Lin Xiu didn't cut new wood, but used the wood that had been dried in the shade before.

The moisture in these reserve woods has been air-dried, which is very suitable for making looms.

"If you want to make a loom, you must use dry wood. Otherwise, if there is a little deformation after finishing, the whole loom will be completely destroyed!"

Lin Xiu showed the shade-dried wood in his hand.

"Now I want to see how the anchor makes the automation device!"

"It means that I have never seen a loom since I was a child!"

Water lovers obviously don't care about the issue of wood.

Lin Xiu didn't say much on this issue, he quickly whittled the shaded wood into the desired shape.

Ordinary looms can only weave four threads, and even so, one person can't do it.

But the loom that Lin Xiu made this time is an extended version, which can weave twelve threads at a time.

The reason for this is that Lin Xiu has already figured out how to set up the automation device.

The biggest key of the loom is the tail wheel. As long as there is no problem with the tail wheel, then there is basically no problem in the operation of a loom.

So in order to finish the tail wheel, Lin Xiu spent a long time grinding it with a whetstone until it was round and smooth.

Immediately afterwards, he set up the shelf of the loom, and then began to install small things such as shuttles and knitting needles.

Lin Xiu moved quickly, and a simple loom appeared in front of everyone in the live broadcast room after a while.

"Damn it, did you do it so fast!"

"The anchor made a very simple loom. I don't think it's any different from what the netizen posted before!"

"Wait for the automation device to go online!"

Seeing that Lin Xiu completed a loom so quickly, the water friends were still a little confused.

For the first time, they felt that it was so fast to make a machine.

Although the one made by Lin Xiu was completely made according to the picture sent by the previous water friend, it was useless for two hours, and it was still under such harsh conditions, which is a bit exaggerated.

"Now the loom is not finished, what I want to do is the one-piece loom, and there is another one!"

Lin Xiu shook his head, and started to build another loom according to the previous steps.

Although the appearance of the loom he made is the same as the picture, in fact Lin Xiu has modified the outlet of the loom.

A loom that could only weave four threads at most can now weave six threads simultaneously.

Together, the two looms can weave more than twelve threads at the same time.

The reason why Lin Xiu wants to do it separately is simply because it is not easy to move in.

Now that it was finished, Lin Xiu moved the loom in and put it in the corner of the living room.

"It seems that the shelter has to be expanded in the future, otherwise there will be too many people in such a small space, and it will not be able to put things down!"

Lin Xiu looked at the already crowded shelter, thinking secretly in his heart.

When Lu Ya saw the loom brought in by Lin Xiu, they were all very curious.

"When it's finished, I'll let you be the first to get started!"

Lin Xiu said to her with a smile.

"Ok!"

Luya nodded. Although she didn't know what this thing was for, since Lin Xiu arranged for her to do it, she would not refuse.

After Lin Xiu moved the looms in, the first step was to put the two looms together, and then fasten them with the iron nails he had made before.

"Old irons, I have already made the gears before, and now they are ready to be used!"

After completing this step, Lin Xiu walked into his room.

But he didn't let the drone follow him.

Of course, Lin Xiu didn't build gears ahead of time. After all, he's so busy these days that he has no time to spare.

But with the Universal Forge, he can create whatever he wants anytime, anywhere.

When he came to the room, Lin Xiu activated the universal forging furnace.

He threw in the prepared iron materials and added some coal.

Of course, the universal forging furnace does not need fuel, but what Lin Xiu wants to forge does.

If the gears are purely made of iron, not only the wear rate is fast, but also it is very easy to rust.

This is fatal for a loom that pursues smoothness.

So what Lin Xiu wants to build is not iron, but steel.

The raw material of steel is iron. After iron is added with carbon, it can become steel.

Lin Xiu did not forget the rule that the universal forging furnace must have enough elements to forge successfully.

After selecting the required gear size, Lin Xiu activated the universal forging furnace.

Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by a shock, after 3 minutes, the universal forging furnace stopped.

Lin Xiu opened the forging furnace, and there were a bunch of bright silver gears inside.

Lin Xiu took out these gears, and then returned to the live video.

"Why did the anchor take so long to come out!"

As soon as he appeared, the water friends in the live broadcast room complained.

As soon as Lin Xiu was away, the drone kept maintaining a perspective, which made them feel that the time was extremely long.

"Sorry, it took me a while to find the gears just now, now it's ready, when the gears are installed, let's test the speed of the automatic loom in the power-off mode first!"

After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he showed the gear in his hand.

"This gear, what did you do!"

"I'm working in a steel factory now, such a smooth gear can't be polished even by a machine!"

"As expected of an anchor, you can do anything!"

Originally, the water friends were looking forward to the automatic loom, but now they were all attracted by the gear in Lin Xiu's hand.

Such delicate gears are even better than those made by factory machines.
