I Plant A Field In The Last Days

The family didn't have much to do. I heard that Grandma wanted to teach Lu Yuan how to make silkworm cocoons into silk, and then they were all interested.

So the whole family moved their own stools and sat in the empty room, listening to grandma's introduction.

"It's not easy to raise silkworms, silkworms! There are many kinds of silkworms. Different silkworms have different feeding methods, and this cocoon from Xiaoyuan belongs to the silk from the north, which is generally thicker than that from the south..."

Having said this, grandma picked up a silkworm cocoon and placed it in her hand, and stopped talking when she was about to continue speaking.

Xiaoshan's mother, Lu's mother, and Xiaoshan sat aside and listened attentively. At this moment, grandma suddenly stopped, so everyone curiously leaned over to ask.

"What's wrong with the old lady? Is it uncomfortable? Or..."

Grandma took out her own reading glasses from her pocket and put them on her eyes, then looked at the cocoon in her hand, and exclaimed again.

"No, this cocoon is wrong."

Hearing what his grandma said, Lu Yuan couldn't help but snickered. Of course, this was different. This was a silkworm that grew up in the dimension of space, but he didn't say anything.

"This cocoon doesn't seem to be the same as the cocoons I usually see. The density of the silk is thinner than usual, and have you seen it? The cocoons go round and round very neatly. It seems that most of the silk in these cocoons is not damaged, but only some of the openings are bitten off."

Grandma’s words made everyone feel confused. She carefully picked up a few cocoons again. After observing it, she discovered that each of these cocoons was basically the same, and they were compared to the previous ones. The silkworm cocoons are more white and clean, without any trace of pollution.

"Xiao Yuan, where did you get the cocoon? It's so clean and so regular."

Lu Yuan had already thought about his remarks, and then he spoke for a while.

"It may be that these silkworms were upgraded after the catalyst. I don't know the specifics."

Everyone nodded in a sudden realization.

"No wonder, I said that this cocoon is not the same as the cocoons I have come into contact with before. Although I have not touched it in decades, I still remember the impression I had when I was a child. Now it looks so nice and tidy, it’s easier if you want to snag now."

What Grandpa listened to was also at a loss, but he was not interested in these things. He was more concerned about when he would receive the machine.

"I said, old lady, what use are you talking about? Hurry up and talk about how to make the machine, so I can start to do it."

"What is your old man anxious about? You won't know how this cocoon is processed into silk after I have finished talking."Grandma gave the old man angrily, and suddenly the other party could only hide in depression and smoked a cigarette with his own pipe in his mouth.

Then, Grandma explained how to turn the cocoons into silk and then turn the silk into silk. Lu Yuan also knew a little bit in his heart.

To make silkworm cocoons into silk, it basically needs to go through the following steps. The first step is silk reeling. This is also the most primitive method, and it is now a necessary method in traditional handicrafts. It will not damage the integrity of the silk, and can make the whole silk look more flat without knotting.

Silk reeling is a more critical step in the whole production method, and the silk reeling machine is needed. Due to the lack of power stations. Lu Yuan could only use the oldest method to make it manually, but in this way, their work efficiency would be greatly reduced.

The principle of the silk reeling machine is basically that dozens of cocoons are laid on a roller, and the silk is drawn out of the cocoons bit by bit by hand, and then the material is then combined into one on the drum. root. This is the common silk reeling step, this kind of silk thread can greatly improve the toughness of clothes.

After the silk reeling machine is completed, another tool is used, which is placed on the loom for weaving. The traditional loom is divided into two vertical and horizontal lines, and an older thing is needed, which is Shuttle, also known as flying shuttle.

Lu Yuan has seen this kind of loom in some documentaries, and the current new loom also uses this method, but the machine is used instead of labor, and the speed has increased a lot. Lu Yuan is also very familiar with this aspect. , But it’s more troublesome if you want to make your own loom, but fortunately they have this loom in their machine factory.

As for the next dyeing and printing process, some dyes are needed, but Lu Yuan thinks that this step can be omitted. After all, they are mainly buying clothes now, and they don't care much about appearance and aesthetics.

Grandpa was the happiest one, because after he got the manufacturing method of the whole machine, he had a general idea in his mind. After discussing with his grandma, he confirmed the production process, and the grandpa hid in the small room and started production.

Lu Yuan wanted to see how his grandfather did it, but he was rejected by him.

"Doesn't your kid look down on my handwork? This time I will show you what a real manual worker is."

Lu Yuan was speechless for a while, and he could only let the old man feel for himself.

Early the next morning, the old man rushed to Lu Yuan's door excitedly.

"Where is Xiaoyuan, have you gotten up yet? The silk reeling machine is ready. Come out and have a look."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan hurriedly jumped off the bed excitedly, put on his own coat and walked out in slippers.

I saw a strangely shaped machine in the living room, which was a little different from what I imagined, and my grandma looked helpless.

"This...this is the silk reeling machine?"

"Yeah, why? Your kid doesn't like the old man's workmanship."

Lu Yuan shook his head quickly. He didn't want to provoke the old man. After all, it took people all night to get this thing out. Now if he says something that hits him, he must be quite hurt in his heart.

Good or bad things are OK. Although they look weird, they are quite easy to use.

After simply eating breakfast, the family sat around her grandmother. She had a tray in her hand with silkworm cocoons on it.

Grandma pulled out the silk thread bit by bit through the hand crank and placed it on the drum. Soon dozens of drums were already full of circles of silk.

Then the silk was twisted into raw silk bit by bit with a hand crank.

Lu Yuan sighed with the raw silk in his heart, and then he couldn't wait to take the raw silk to the spinning mill on the opposite side.

When the director of the spinning mill saw the raw silk in Lu Yuan's hands, he suddenly felt astonished.

"Boss...Where did you get the raw silk? It looks like the quality is really good."

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously: "This is a secret, but everyone should use these things soon."

"Great, we are worried about not making the fabric material, but you solved it unexpectedly. I really don't know what to say."

"Okay, hurry up, find someone to pick up the raw silk and see how the fabric is processed."

"Okay, I'm going to find someone, you can wait a moment."

The director of the spinning mill trot all the way, and when he left the factory, he felt that he had found a few trembling workers and introduced him to him.

After two or three hours of busy work, the first batch of raw silk was finally processed into satin. A section of satin that was ten meters long and two meters wide was neatly transported out of the spinning machine.

The whole piece of cloth looks gleaming and feels very comfortable to the touch. Although Lu Yuan has been exposed to silk fabrics before, it is a world of difference.

There was a burr in the last section of the weaving. The director was going to take scissors to cut the last burr. However, after taking out the scissors and cutting it for a while, he discovered that the hardness of these silks and satins was beyond his imagination. It took a lot of effort. He finally cut the two-meter-long silk and satin, but the entire scissors were already covered with gaps.

"This...what the hell is this? It's so hard? I've never seen this kind of silk before!"

Lu Yuan was also surprised. He didn't expect the hardness of these silks to be so strong, and it took a pair of scissors to cut them apart in advance.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan thought that these silks were made by himself in the dimensional space, and did not use external catalysts. Compared with the silks outside, it must be beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"By the way, take the knife and try it to see if this thing can block the blade?"

It is said that Lu Yuan took a dagger from his pocket and prepared to tie the cloth, but the director looked at him with a painful expression.

"Boss Lu, don't, let's just find some scraps to try this thing. There is no need to try the whole silk and satin. It's too wasteful. If such a good thing is placed before the end of the world, it is absolutely invaluable."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded.I found some scraps and tested it, and the dagger was swung down fiercely, but the silk was still as clean as new, and there was not even a burr on it, which obviously blocked the dagger.

"It's so strong, can this thing be a bulletproof vest if you wear it on your clothes?"

Both of them were shocked. The director of the factory was about to say that he wanted to put down these silks, but Lu Yuan had already returned home with the silks. He took out the gun and pulled the trigger at the corners of the silks.

After a "bang" shot, there was a hole in the silk, but there were not many scars on the wall behind the silk.

"It seems that bulletproof is still not possible, but the strength is indeed quite good. If you add a few more layers, it should be no problem to block the bullet."

Lu Yuan planned to use this silk and satin to make a pair of clothes with each of his family members.

If you want to make clothes, you have to find a grandma, but there is nothing in his tool that can easily cut the material, which makes Lu Yuan a little uncomfortable.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yuan had to pick up a glass knife. On the tip of the glass knife was a small Vajra stone. When using this Vajra stone to cut other things, it was basically all right, and the silk was finally It was not able to withstand it and was easily cut away.

Submit the silk to grandma. Lu Yuan intends to popularize this technology. As for how much the people below can make, it depends on them, but this time he does not intend to give it away for nothing, but chooses to let these people in the form of work in exchange for the gold. Silk.

I told the news to the director of the machinery factory, and the other party also readily agreed. Although the output of this kind of thing cannot be increased, after some tests, it was found that the ability to keep out the cold is far superior to ordinary cotton clothes, plus this material. It is very wear-resistant, and there is basically no problem after wearing it for a few years. If it is a double layer, a very strong insulation layer can even be formed in the middle.

With cotton clothes, the weight of the cotton clothes can be reduced and the effect of warmth can be achieved.

Soon Lu Yuan was selling silk. Everyone had been waiting to put on thick clothes, and they were all excited about when to start the exchange.

After the news was sent, everyone's enthusiasm became quite high. The silk factory also ushered in a new round of orders. The factory manager was very busy, but he was extremely happy.

Soon, the hundreds of kilograms of silkworm cocoons in Lu Yuan's hand were all taken back, but everyone has now become his hire, and the factory is now basically processing Lu Yuan's silk, but Lu Yuan needs to be paid, and the price is the well-made clothes.

Soon, Lu Yuan was idle again, but he couldn't do it anymore. He was still thinking about the wood in the back mountain. He had to take these wood away as soon as possible, otherwise the people in the West District would take a little today and tomorrow. Take a little bit, and sooner or later he will emptied these assets of his family.

That day, Lu Yuan came outside while the night was dark. The wind in the back mountain was still very strong, but the sand and stones that should be scraped had been blown away, and now it was just the harsh cold wind blowing the whole body cold.

However, the down jacket Lu Yuan is wearing today is made of silk fabric. Under the protection of this down jacket, he can hardly feel the cold. As long as the zipper of the clothes is pulled properly, no matter how harsh the cold wind outside is, there is still in his body. It's hot.

Seeing that there was no one nearby, Lu Yuan quietly walked to the lumber factory, and with a slight thought, he moved all the wood in the wood pile into the dimensional space little by little.

Lu Yuan felt much better when he easily solved these difficult timber handling problems.

However, the situation came out immediately from the western side the next day. After all, their wood was basically burned out, and now they can only rely on the situation of stealing wood from the back mountain to maintain.

However, after arriving at the back mountain, it was discovered that the wood in the back mountain was evacuated overnight, which made everyone dumbfounded.
