Many great scholars were already standing beside Zhao Qianzhang.
The ordinary craftsmen present did not realize the value of Fang Yun’s three mechanisms, but the great scholars in the industry saw it clearly.
After hearing Zhao Qianzhang's evaluation, the great scholars and craftsmen all nodded heavily.
"That's not three mechanisms, but thirty thousand. Three hundred million!"
"Jing Lan's mechanism is just a constant pursuit of perfection, while Fang Yun's mechanism has surpassed the original technological peak and reached a higher new level."
"For these machines, technological progress is secondary. Creativity and ideas beyond technology have a greater impact on the entire industry."
Even though the two mechanisms had not started operating, all the great scholars had given fair comments, because during Fang Yun's production and assembly process, they had seen through the two mechanisms and were very clear that the two mechanisms would be able to operate normally.
However, many ordinary craftsmen were skeptical.
The great scholars of Haiya also hoped that Fang Yun would fail, but now none of them dared to attack Fang Yun.
After completely assembling the two machines, Fang Yun said, "This is a large machine, only suitable for a workshop, not for an individual, so please ask some craftsmen to come up and help me operate the spinning machine and loom."
"I!"
"I, I, I..."
Countless craftsmen rushed forward enthusiastically, slowly squeezing forward like a tide, and many people even waved their hands, wanting Fang Yun to see them.
Especially the young people, their attitude is fanatical, as if they want to witness history.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "If you want to come up, raise your right arm and let the examiner choose."
A large number of craftsmen quickly raised their right arms, and the entire Tongsheng Conference venue seemed to have turned into a jungle of arms.
The examiners were all locals, and they immediately selected some craftsmen who they knew well to avoid any accidents.
The examiner wants Fang Yun to succeed more than Fang Yun does.
So, the selected craftsmen walked up to Fang Yun, listened carefully to Fang Yun’s explanation of how to operate the mechanism, and then watched Fang Yun demonstrate.
Finally, Fang Yun asked the examiners to send a large amount of processed cotton strips and starched yarn, and worked with all the craftsmen to make final preparations.
"start up!"
At Fang Yun's order, some craftsmen began to operate the mule machines.
Amid the roar of the machine, the cotton strips were quickly transformed into white yarns under the power of the mule machine. At the same time, a thousand yarns were constantly being formed in an orderly manner.
Many craftsmen looked up at the dense white yarn with expressions of horror.
This efficiency is amazing.
Many people observed carefully and found that what was more terrifying than the efficiency was that these yarns far surpassed Jing Lan's water-powered spinning wheel in all aspects, such as strength, fineness, uniformity and toughness.
The yarn spun by Jing Lan's water-powered spinning machine was already the ultimate quality that humans had previously achieved.
This means that once this mechanism becomes popular, the entire textile industry will undergo earth-shaking changes.
The technology of these institutions will inevitably bring about great changes in other institutions, thereby improving the production efficiency of the entire industry.
As time goes by, there will inevitably be literary masters, and maybe even semi-saints.
After the mule loom produced yarn continuously, Fang Yun began to order the craftsmen to operate the water-powered loom.
There are three main steps in weaving. The first step is to use a complicated process to make the raw cotton into cotton strips that can be spun. The second step is to make the cotton strips into yarn, and the third step is weaving.
However, weaving is not a simple process. The original yarn needs to be wound and twisted first, and then warped. Only when everything is ready can the yarn be sent into the loom to weave a complete cloth.
Fang Yun was unable to make so many mechanisms and only made two key mechanisms, so he was unable to make the mule loom produce yarn that could be used directly by the loom, and could only use processed finished yarn.
The quality of those finished yarns is far inferior to that of mule loom yarns. Even so, the cloth woven from them is far superior to that of ordinary looms, both in terms of weaving speed and quality.
In the eyes of all craftsmen, what they saw before them was a spectacle and a miracle, far more majestic than any mountain and vaster than any sea.
Looking at the endless flow of yarn and cloth, everyone saw a new era as Zhao Qianzhang said.
Jing Lan looked at the scene in front of him, and the spirit of the worker and scholar was completely aroused. He had forgotten the struggle for interests and only had respect for the workers' skills.
Jing Xiao on the side gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and let the blood flow from the corners of his mouth.
His literary courage began to waver.
After a long time, one of the examiners suddenly asked, "Did we forget something?"
The examiners were stunned, and then the three examiners in charge of this venue woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly injected power into Fang Yun's mechanical clock again.
As expected, the big bell of the Institute of Technology rang.
Then, everyone faced the Temple of the Divine Craftsman.
Every craftsman's eyes were filled with anticipation; their eyes were much brighter than when the spinning Jenny appeared.
Because every craftsman understands what the emergence of large water-powered spinning machines and looms represents. It not only represents higher efficiency, more advanced technology, and a larger scale, but also represents the birth of completely new things and the complete elimination of old things.
This is a comprehensive innovation.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding…
Everyone was listening to the sound of the bell, but what they were thinking about was their literary status.
Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Hanlin, Newly promoted Grand Secretary, Grand Secretary Level 1, Grand Secretary Level 2, Grand Secretary Level 3, Grand Secretary Level 4, Grand Secretary Peak, Newly promoted Great Scholar...
In the end, the master's bell of the Divine Craftsman Hall rang ten times, plus one from the big bell, for a total of eleven.
Just in time to be promoted to a great scholar.
However, because Fang Yun used Lu Ban ruler and the number of bell sounds was reduced by one, Fang Yun could actually only be promoted to the peak rank of Grand Secretary.
Even so, it has become a record in the industry that has never been seen before and may never be surpassed.
After hearing the tenth sound of the main bell, many craftsmen only thought about Fang Yun's literary rank. However, all the great scholars of the craftsmen suddenly showed strange expressions, looked at each other, and then their faces showed ecstasy.
The great scholars looked up at the sky.
A strange and huge ruler appeared in the sky. The ruler seemed to be translucent, and seemed to be made up of thin clouds. But if you look closely, you will find that the ruler, which is tens of thousands of miles long, is made up of countless tiny mechanisms, levers, gears, pulleys, axles, etc., which are densely packed, yet have an inexplicable beauty.
That kind of beauty is different from natural beauty. It has more texture and more power.
The ruler of heaven is the most precious treasure of the craftsmen.
After the ruler of the sky showed its complete posture, all the bells in the industry rang at the same time.
Thousands of bells rang at the same time, as if welcoming the saint.
The ruler of the sky emitted a faint glow, and everyone was bathed in the light. Everyone felt warm and comfortable from the inside out.
Then, one after another, the power of talent emerged and spread throughout the industry like ripples in a pond.
That is the characteristic of scholars being promoted to higher literary positions.
