My Island Survival in the Wild

Chapter 327

Lin Xiu was prepared for the shock and suspicion of the water friends.

"Of course this gear is burnt in a furnace, but I'm a little bored after the live broadcast every day, so I often hold it and grind it!"

It is true that the machines in the factory cannot make such smooth gears, but there is no problem with manual grinding, which is why it is difficult for machines to completely replace manpower.

"Admiration, I feel very tired even with the grinder in the factory. The anchor's spirit is really strong, and I rewarded it!"

"Good morning, beat the worker and tip the Cloud Piercing Arrow x 1!"

When they heard that Lin Xiu polished it by himself, all the water friends were in awe.

Lin Xiu was also a little surprised that he received a tip for this.

But no one would think too much money, not to mention that it could bring him points.

"Thanks to this old iron, then I will show you how to assemble the gears next!"

After speaking, Lin Xiu came to the back of the loom, and fixed the gears in several important positions with iron nails.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the door and cut off the rubber skin of a broken rubber boat that he had picked up at the seaside.

Using these rubber skins, Lin Xiu quickly built a connecting ring between the gears.

Now as long as one is pulled, all the gears on the two looms will move together.

Lin Xiu put the starting point of these rubber skins at the position of the tripod of the loom.

At that time, if you work on it, you only need to step on the tripod.

As for the problem of controlling the shuttle needle in his hand, Lin Xiu doesn't need to worry about it.

The shuttle needle is the key to making clothes or other textiles. The shuttle needle is like sewing clothes. After controlling it, you can make the fabric you want.

This function is very important for most looms, but Lin Xiu has already castrated it here.

Because all he needs is cloth.

At that time, with the cloth, you can use the universal forge to directly make the desired clothing or other textiles.

As for why not just put the weaving material in and complete the whole process!

It's not that Lin Xiu doesn't want to do it, but that the universal forging furnace can't do it.

After all, the materials needed to make cloth are too complicated, and it is far less easy for the forging furnace to understand instructions such as making clothes with cloth.

So Lin Xiu had to do it if he didn't do it.

Fortunately, the castrated version is easier to make.

"Old irons, let's try it now!"

Lin Xiu saw that many water friends could not wait to see the efficiency of this loom, so he no longer felt disgusted.

They don't raise silkworms now, so they can't use silk to weave.

Fortunately, the most indispensable thing on this island is hemp grass.

The rhizome of the hemp grass is very hard, and the leaves also have a lot of hemp silk. Animals are not willing to eat it, so when Lin Xiu wanted to find it, he found that it could be found all over the island.

"Old irons, this thing is hemp. In ancient China, silk was only worn by rich people. Ordinary people have always worn linen clothes!"

Lin Xiu took out the hemp thread he had prepared before, but the water friends in the live broadcast room couldn't accept it after seeing the thick yellow hemp thread.

"I remember that the clothes made of twine are very disgusting. It must be uncomfortable to wear!"

"Have you ever felt the pain of tug-of-war with hemp rope? This thing can make people bleed!"

"If the anchor uses linen, it's better to make something else. Clothes are fine. I think you are handsome enough in animal skins!"

They are all modern people who are accustomed to wearing all kinds of comfortable clothes. The impression of water friends is basically on the hemp rope.

Lin Xiu shook his head after seeing these remarks.

"Old irons, it is indeed difficult to wear clothes woven directly from hemp thread, but these hemp threads of mine are different. I have boiled them all with salt."

"Boiled twine and ordinary raw twine are two different things, and now the twine is even more comfortable to the touch than wool, and it's no problem at all to make clothes."

"About what I said, you can check it with Du Niang to find out if it is true. Don't underestimate the wisdom of ancient people!"

"If it is really difficult to wear, it is impossible for the ancient Chinese to wear it for nearly a thousand years without eliminating it!"

Lin Xiu quickly explained the reason, but many people felt that their worldview had been subverted.

Can the twine be boiled and reused?

The sackcloth worn by the poor in ancient times was not as difficult to wear as they thought?

With such doubts, many people went to check Du Niang.

In the end, Du Niang told them very clearly that Lin Xiu was right.

And so far, there is still a large market for fabrics made of hemp thread, and many people even wear hemp clothes.

"The more I watch the anchor's live broadcast, the more I feel ignorant!"

Soon, a water friend summed up the matter in one sentence.

Other swimmers agree.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, successfully shocked the water friends, and got 352 points!"

After the water friends were shocked by this cold knowledge, they brought Lin Xiu a good point income.

Lin Xiu was very satisfied with the unexpected surprise.

After he carried the twine over, he took Luya and the others to wind the twine onto the tail wheel of the loom.

Otherwise, the messy twine will not be able to be woven at all.

This step must be done manually, no matter how automated his loom is, there is no way to avoid it.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long, and they soon had the tail wheel full of lint.

"Luya, just step on here later!"

After dispatching the threads, Lin Xiu let Luya sit in front of the loom.

He didn't forget what he said to Luya before.

If Luya was the first to weave, he would not let other people be the first to weave.

Luya sat in front of the loom nervously, and then began to step on the device below.

Click click!

As the tail wheel turns, traction quickly occurs between the gears.

Although Luya is only in one position, the twelve weaving ports of the entire loom are all moving at the same time.

This is the benefit brought by the automation device, so that the labor cost is saved.

"Don't stop!"

Lin Xiu saw that Lu Ya was a little surprised, so he hurriedly said to her.

The cloth has not been woven yet, and if he stops, he will not be able to announce success to the water friends in the live broadcast room.

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Lu Ya put away her fear of novelty.

She stepped on the pedals under her feet faster, bringing traction to the entire loom.

As the sound of the loom became more and more urgent, thick twines were soon woven.

But the weaving does not end here. After the tail wheel rotates, these thick hemp threads quickly enter the position of the shuttle needles and are stitched by the fast beating shuttle needles.

Arriving here is already a key link in Chengbu.

When the hemp thread passed the shuttle needle and was pressed by the horizontal bar, Lin Xiu quickly grabbed a piece of hemp cloth coming out of the loom.
