Douluo See You For a Long Time

The principle of the new wide-width loom is not too difficult. In addition, it also includes a new set of defense equipment, which can be driven by water power to save labor costs.

For this miraculous creation, at first the masses looked at it with a miraculous mentality, but with the narration of the Earl of Pompeii, they gradually understood the clear principle of the machine, and then realized that this is not a miracle, but a miracle. It is indeed something that can be made with two hands.

The Earl of Pompeii’s explanations are detailed, and everyone present can understand as much as possible. Not everyone needs to know how to make a loom. The important thing is to let them have the guidance of their ancestors and the ability of technology It can change their difficult life.

Faith is accumulated bit by bit. Even the Light God Sect spreads its teachings through the dark age brought about by disasters.

...

Just saying that the impact on the masses is limited, when the rotating flywheel drives the loom to reciprocate and produce tight and wide cloth, the crowd can't help but cheer.

Those with good brains have already started to write down the structure of this loom in their minds, and they are going to go back and build one themselves.

The first sermon of Scientology ended quickly, but it was obvious that the effect of this sermon was extremely significant, compared to the ultimate concern of heaven after death.

Who doesn't want to have a better life while alive, and if possible, who would like to pin their beautiful fantasies on the illusory after death?

The Earl of Pompeii took advantage of this sermon to spread scientific beliefs widely, and established the first water-powered textile factory in his territory, importing raw materials from other people's territories, and then exporting goods.

In this dark age, although cloth is a necessity, the transaction volume is actually not very large, because after the arrival of the devil, the entire continent has become a warlord separatist regime. From the beginning of capital, the retrogression will lead to feudal lordship.

The small-scale peasant economy is gradually recovering, and the self-sufficient production model is catching up and becoming the mainstream of the times again. If it is just ordinary cloth, the benefits that can be generated in this case are minimal, and even the transportation costs cannot be earned.

But if it is machine-woven cloth, it is a different matter. The wider cloth makes it more convenient whether it is cut into clothes or used for other purposes. In the past, if you want to make clothes with cloth, you must be careful It is necessary to sew several pieces of cloth together, which is not only unsightly, but also extremely tests the craftsmanship of the garment maker. The wider the cloth, the less troublesome it is naturally.

The second is the cost. The hydraulic loom reduces the labor cost to the greatest extent. In addition to the possible loss or retrogression of technology in other territories,

Make the cost more competitive.

...

Looking at the fiery weaving factory by the river, Tang Chen shook his head: "It's so naive! They started praising the machines so soon."

"Why, is there any problem with this?" Yu Xikong was the latest to get started, basically not catching up with the social education that Chengying personally practiced, showing a puzzled look.

"They praise machines now because the productivity is too low. Any industry that can improve productivity is worth pursuing." Chao Tianxiang answered Yu Xikong's doubts:

"But machines will also bring about many unexpected consequences. Due to the retrogression of technology and social structure, the handicraft factories that have emerged on this continent have closed down on a large scale, so the people who will be impacted by the rise of machines actually disappear in advance. up.

Otherwise, you can imagine what kind of disaster this kind of machine, which can work without sleep as long as it is placed by the river, is a disaster for the female textile workers in the textile factory.

With more efficient machines, factory owners will certainly not need so many people. What about the extra people? Are you raising it for nothing? Some kind-hearted capitalists may keep them for a while, but the vast majority of them will choose to lay off workers.

Women textile workers who have lost their jobs and have no skills will lose their source of income and have to engage in more arduous occupations, and even starve to death on the streets.

At that time, they would no longer sing praises to the machine, but cursed it, and even wished to smash all the machines in the world to pieces. Teachers usually call such people... tears of the times. "

Yu Xikong showed a shocked expression. In the Tulip Dukedom, she saw a lot of benefits brought by new technologies, and subconsciously believed that progressive machines should be just, and it should be taken for granted, so that even those who traveled to the mainland At that time, she didn't even notice those craftsmen who had lost their source of livelihood because of the strong productivity of the Tulip Duchy.

Among other things, the profession of blacksmiths on the Douluo Continent has been mostly abandoned by blast furnace ironmaking and converter steelmaking. They can only take on some high-end special metal forging jobs. The blacksmiths on the Douluo Continent actually have opinions on Duke Tulip. It has always been quite large.

If it weren't for Chengying's large-scale recruitment of traditional blacksmiths to conduct research and exploration in materials science after the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau, this contradiction would have become more serious and the final solution would have erupted.

"But why is this? Obviously more efficient machines can use less manpower to produce more goods. Isn't this a kind of progress?" Yu Xikong was puzzled.

"In terms of technology, this is undoubtedly an improvement." Even though Chao Tianxiang said so, she shook her head:

"But you can't just look at the problem from the perspective of technology. Combined with social production, you will find that the birth of new machines is a good thing in theory, and the reason why this good thing turns bad is actually the uneven distribution of social resources and lag.

From the perspective of supply and demand, the emergence of new machines will inevitably bring about a reduction in the price of commodities, which is beneficial to most people.

But the price will not be lowered all of a sudden because of the increase of commodities. The capitalists will try their best to maintain the high prices of commodities and delay the process of price reduction as much as possible. You have heard the story of pouring milk! I was tricked by my teacher's wife into boarding a thief ship with this story.

And this is the uneven distribution of social resources. In order to make profits, capitalists have delayed new inventions to bring tangible benefits to the public. The dividends brought, as well as similar price cuts in other industries, are far from offsetting this loss, which has led to the machine being reviled in turn. "

Tang Chen was thinking about this when he was just getting started. Although his talent was far behind Dugu Bo's in terms of learning things, if he kept thinking about a problem, he would always have some insights of his own.

"Ah... this... then will this affect the development of Scientology?"
