Chapter 210 Yarn-dyed
In the laboratory, facing geometric figures and seven colors of fine cloth, several engineers couldn't help but hold their breath, multiple colors, two colors, and even three colors, which was an innovation in printing and dyeing. Since 1856, synthetic fuels have appeared. As for the mixture of three primary colors, it is common sense that many people know. These two simple common senses, combined, draw such a perfect picture scroll. Not many people think that they can be applied here, but they are very perfect.
Later generations are not only an era of consultation, but also a huge amount of information will give people more ideas and newer solutions to problems. This is also something that Yang Yuanzhao is more funny than them in the technology of this era.
Yang Yuanzhao tilted his head and looked at the printing and dyeing. To be honest, he had many ideas. It seemed that some more creative dyeing could be carried out based on this. There was no way to use exquisite patterns of painters' calligraphy and paintings, just like computer paintings in later generations, using different geometric patterns to form a scroll. As long as the creativity is good and the dye used is moderate, it may not be an excellent product.
The triple dyeing was perfectly completed. This cloth of seven colors was sought after by everyone. Yang Yuanzhao considered it again and again and again, allowing the chemistry laboratory to continue to study the formula of multiple dyeing. As for him, he made another proposal ingeniously, color weaving.
Color weaving is a commonly used weaving method among Chinese colorful silk. With the help of silk of different colors, to put it bluntly, adding different dyes to the silkworm's food, the silk will eventually form different colors, so that it can weave colored silk. This is also one of the most important methods among fine silk. The famous Shu brocade is the fine product in color weaving. Some embroidery workers are added to it.
The color weaving of cotton cloth, which was called striped cloth in ancient times, also known as plaid cloth. It has a deep history in Jiangnan. Nantong is famous for color weaving, and it is all simple plaid cloth and ordinary graphics.
Yang Yuanzhao proposed that he went further. With the help of printing and dyeing factories, he could form multiple weaving fabrics than ordinary dyeing workshops. With more premises in terms of color, multiple weaving fabrics can be formed. In a sense, it is a simple repetitive process. Different colors are matched on the warp and weft lines, and different colors will be formed, harmonious and unified geometric figures will be formed. This is a key to color weaving. If you go further, you will use different silk threads to draw pictures.
Yang Yuanzhao entered the laboratory, next to a loom. 80 pieces of yarn were sorting, and each one was covered with labels. This was a new topic proposed by Yang Yuanzhao. Multi-color weaving drawing.
Compared with a color of ordinary printing and dyeing, color weaving is to a certain extent. It is more suitable for the vision of later generations. Most of the cloths in later generations are woven in color. The color is more beautiful, with the appearance and interior, without fading or irregularity. It is an important textile method for bedding and high-end fabrics.
The method used is to use printing and dyeing to complete the coloring of the cotton yarn. Then, add different kinds of colors to the machine, and complete the entire weaving process with the cooperation of the machine or skilled workers.
In today's laboratory, there are a group of female workers. Most of them have worked in the southern weaving factory. More or less, they have been exposed to color weaving. According to their guidance, they use professional looms to make high-branched yarns of different colors, with the help of professional looms, square lattices, parallelograms, triangles, and different types of graphics, which gives Yang Yuanzhao a feeling of traveling through time and space. No matter how amazing a single color is, it is not as good as the combination of multiple colors and graphics.
The pattern of the machine is a fixed geometric pattern. In this case, different colors are finely and densely completed to achieve different effects. A piece of cloth forms such a pattern, which looks higher-end than before.
Several engineers walked up to the weaving process when the female weaving worker worked, carefully checked the weaving process, and from time to time they wrote and painted in a record book, without computer drawings or computer programs. To complete this, scientists need to have spatial imagination and hard-working experiments.
For three whole days, they were recording the results, and then, starting a new attempt, circle.
Most of the striped cloths are grids and do more, forming triangles or even quadrilaterals. These have one characteristic, that is, straight lines, warp and weft lines on the loom are straight. Different colors will form extremely neat experimental effects, and other graphics are difficult to complete.
Yang Yuanzhao's purpose was to complete a complete figure at the beginning, but he was very clear about how difficult it was to have a picture, and he could only start with irregular figures and circles.
The idea is good, but reality is like a blow. After careful verification, the researchers finally explained that the circle cannot be completed, or in other words, it cannot be called a simple circle. It is almost impossible to draw the circle with distinct silk threads of different colors. This is almost no easier than embroidery. Treating weaving as embroidery, even if it is successful, the cost is unacceptable.
The experiment entered a deadlock, and it invested a lot, even tilted most of the strength of the entire laboratory, but the research was stagnant. Yang Yuanzhao was also a little unwilling to accept it. The leading color weaving only copied the spotted cloth. At most, it only enriched the categories and could not become an object beyond the seven-color printing and dyeing. At this time, a proposal from a researcher greatly promoted this process. If the three aspects of printing, dyeing, and printing were combined, could a breakthrough be achieved?
Yang Yuanzhao's eyes lit up. This is not a computer-controlled loom. There is no way to adjust it in a casual manner. The plaid cloth has been a breakthrough. Now, five colors of silk threads can be weaved together. In the future, with the continuous research of machinery, perhaps the number of colors will be greater.
Regular geometric figures will create a beauty, in which they are printed and steam-dyeed, and in which they are drawn circles and other figures that are impossible to weave. Adding color renderings seems to have an unexpected innovation.
The atmosphere in the laboratory has always been very good, with huge rewards and a lot of investment, which makes everyone full of energy. It took half a day to complete the collection of materials and arrange the color weaving and printing procedures. A new piece of cloth has begun to be made. Five color weaving requires 5 workers to control the loom to work in different directions. The five colors are gradually filled with the whole figure in the editing of the warp and weft lines. However, the colors are more exquisite and each is more harmonious.
After about an hour, with five people working together, a piece of cloth was completed. Several workers carefully selected it, with extraordinary skills, and this piece of cloth was also top-quality.
The five-color plaid is so exquisitely printed that each batch is at least 150 silver dollars. The researchers did not stop and continued to print and dye. This time, they used a printing machine obtained from Germany.
This printing machine is relatively simple. In addition to making a little changes to the power system, Yang Yuanzhao did not modify the overall structure. The printing is also the simplest, with flowers, five-pointed stars, circles and other slightly more complex figures. The five colors on the original plaid are bright red, yellow, purple, sky blue and blue. This print is orange red and uses the largest flower. After calculation, it is possible to wrap all the geometric figures in the center of the plaid.
Steam steamed, the machine started to move smoothly, and after some trouble, the printing was completed. There were 24 huge flowers on a plaid cloth, which perfectly combined with the plaid of multiple colors, and a little more softness in the square mechanical lines.
Logically speaking, this dyeing cloth has come to an end now. Different figures and different colors of cloth are perfectly combined, which has a very artistic beauty. However, the experimenters launched a steam printing and dyeing machine. Under the squirting steam, they began to carve lattices of different colors formed by the floral cloth. Most of them are lattices of the same color, and a small part is more than one foot, and the small ones are about the size of a palm. The steam printing and dyeing machine has already undergone a series of adjustments. This one has the highest accuracy and is flexibly moving continuously on the wide range of the cloth, de-dyeing one lattice bit by bit.
Compared with the previous two dyes, the dyeing process this time was slower. No one said a word. Everyone was focusing on dyeing and looking forward to the birth of the finished product.
Finally, at 12 o'clock in the evening, after more than 7 hours of printing and dyeing, a beautiful picture was dyed. Generally speaking, it was still square, but there were more things, green grass, blue sky, and even at the top, there was a sun, and underneath, various flowers, under the abstract geometric figures, actually combined into a whole.
Steam printing and dyeing, printing and color weaving can indeed form exquisite works. As for this piece of cloth, it cannot be called a cloth, but rather a work of art. Unfortunately, this direction is not very correct. The efficiency of printing and dyeing is too slow. Industrial society and machinery are large-scale production. What are its advantages? It is output, output, and finally output. 5 skilled weavers, 12 masters of printing and dyeing, plus 3 engineers. Such a lineup is not uncommon. From daytime to late at night, it is almost a whole day of busyness. minus labor costs, the profit of printing and dyeing may not be higher than plaid cloth and ordinary steam printing and dyeing, and it is too labor-consuming.
This is not what Yang Yuanzhao wanted. The plaid and printing have proved its role in experiments. It can combine the two and increase the diversity of plaids. As for printing and dyeing, it is necessary to find a different approach and find a better printing and dyeing method.
Instructed the engineers to continue researching the printing and dyeing, but most of the personnel were still transferred to another laboratory. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
