The principle of the new wide loom is not difficult. In addition, it also includes a set of new defense equipment, which can be driven by water and save labor cost.


    At first, the people looked at this magical creation with a mentality of looking at miracles, but with the story of count Pompeii, they gradually understood the clear principle of machinery, and then realized that it was not a miracle, but something that could be made with practical hands.


    Count Pompeii''s explanation was meticulous and understood by everyone present as much as possible. Not everyone needs to know how to make a loom. The important thing is to let them produce the guidance of their ancestors. The ability of science and technology can change their troubled life.


    Faith is accumulated bit by bit. Even the light God Religion publicizes its teachings through the dark era brought by disaster.


    ……


    The impact on the masses is limited. When the rotating flywheel drives the loom to move back and forth to produce compact wide cloth, the people can''t help cheering.


    Those with brains have begun to write down the structure of this loom in their minds and are ready to go back and build one by themselves.


    The first sermon of Scientology soon ended, but it is obvious that the effect of this sermon is extremely significant, compared with the ultimate concern of heaven after death.


    Who doesn''t want to live a better life? If you can, who is willing to place the beautiful fantasy on the illusory after death?


    After this sermon, Pompeii''s scientific belief was widely spread, and he established the first hydraulic textile mill in the territory to import raw materials from other people''s territory and then export goods.


    In this dark age, although cloth is a necessity, the trading volume is not very large, because after the advent of the devil, the whole continent has become a form of warlord separatism. From the germination of capital, it will regress to the feudal lord system.


    The small-scale peasant economy has gradually recovered, and the self-sufficient production mode has caught up with it, and has become the mainstream of the times again. If it is just ordinary cloth, the benefits generated in this case are very small, and even the cost of transportation can not be earned back.


    But if it''s machine woven cloth, it''s another matter. Wider cloth makes it more convenient to cut it into clothes or for other purposes. In the past, if you want to make clothes, you must carefully sew several pieces of cloth together. It''s not only unsightly, but also a great test of the craftsmanship of garment makers. If the cloth becomes wider, there will be no such trouble.


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


    ……


    Looking at the hot weaving factory by the river, Tang Chen shook his head: "it''s really naive! I started singing about the machine so soon. "


    "Why, is there a problem?" Yu Xikong was the latest to get started. He basically missed the social education practiced by the filmmaker, showing a look of doubt.


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


    "However, machines will also bring many unexpected consequences. Because of the retrogression of technology and social structure, the handicraft factories rising on this continent have closed down on a large scale, so the people who will be impacted by the rise of machines actually disappeared ahead of time.


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


    With more efficient machines, factory owners will not need so many people. What about the redundant people? Keep it for nothing? Some kind capitalists may keep them for a while, but most people will choose to lay off workers.


    The women''s textile trade union, which has lost its job and no skills, has lost its source of livelihood and has to engage in more hardworking occupations, even starving to death on the streets.


    At that time, they will no longer praise the machine, but spit on it, and even want to smash the machines all over the world. Teachers generally call this... Tears of the times. "


    Yu Xikong showed an expression of shock. At the Duke of tulip, she saw many benefits brought by new technology. Subconsciously, she thought that the machine of progress should be just and deserved, so that even when she traveled to the mainland, she didn''t notice the handicraftsmen who lost their source of livelihood because of the powerful productivity of the Duke of tulip.


    Apart from other things, the blacksmith profession in Douluo mainland has been abandoned by blast furnace ironmaking and converter steelmaking, and can only take on some high-end special metal forging work. In fact, the blacksmith in Douluo mainland has always had great opinions on the Duke of tulip.


    If it were not for the large-scale recruitment of traditional blacksmiths for research and exploration in materials science after the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau, this contradiction would be more serious, and even the final method would break out.


    "But why? Obviously, more efficient machines can produce more goods with less manpower. Isn''t this a kind of progress? " Yu Xikong doesn''t understand.


    "At the technical level, this is undoubtedly progressive." Although Chao Tianxiang said so, he shook his head:


    "We 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 for the deterioration of this good thing is actually the uneven and lagging distribution of social resources.


    From the perspective of supply and demand, the emergence of new machines will inevitably bring commodity prices, which is good for the vast majority of people.


    But the price will not be reduced suddenly because of the increase of goods. Capitalists will maintain the high price of goods as much as possible and delay the price reduction process as much as possible. Have you heard the story of pouring milk! I was fooled into a thief''s boat by my martial mother with this story.


    This is the uneven distribution of social resources. In order to make profits, capitalists have delayed bringing tangible benefits to the public. During this period, it is obvious that the interests of workers have already been infringed, and the dividends brought by the price reduction of cloth and similar price reductions in other industries are far from offsetting this loss, This leads to the machine being scolded in turn. "


    Tang Chen was thinking about this when he was getting started. Although his talent in learning things is far from that of Dugu Bo, he will always have his own experience if he keeps thinking about a problem.


    "Ah... This... Will this affect the development of scientific divinity?"
