The carriage soon arrived at the departnt of scientific research. It was the sa place as before, but it was now surrounded by a high wall. There were people inside the wall and people on the wall patrolling the place.
If anyone tried to sneak in, they would imdiately get shot by the military crossbows. This place was also very close to the military camp, so if soone tried to break in forcefully, the alarm bell would sound and the cavalry would arrive within two minutes.
The level of security in the Departnt of Scientific Research was of the sa level as the security in the castle. The guards inside were elites selected from the hundreds of people in the army, and so of them had even trained together with the War Wolves. Niu Si was in charge of security in the Departnt of Scientific Research.
The carriage stopped ten ters away from the wall. Inside the carriage, Liu Feng looked at the soldiers on the wall, and he was satisfied upon seeing that the soldiers hadnt let their guards down just because the carriage had his symbol on it. This was exactly what he wanted. He had set the rules that unless they had seen him in person or a person had his warrant, no one could be let in.
Very good!
Liu Feng took out a notepad from his sleeve. The words Top Secret were printed on the papers inside. Liu Feng took out a red pen, wrote on it, and stamped it with his na.
Box.
Nicole imdiately took out a tal box with a combination lock from her backpack. Liu Feng opened the box, tore off the paper from the notepad, put the paper inside, and ssed up the password.
If soone got even one step of this process wrong, they would not be able to enter the Departnt of Scientific Research. The specially made paper, the written words, and the stamped words were all part of the security asure. Niu Si was also the only other person who knew the password to the combination lock of the tal box.
Of course, the other way was for Liu Feng to show his face, but he wanted to test it today.
Liu Feng put the tal box out the window. Sinke took it imdiately and threw it on top of the wall, and now they just had to wait for the patrolling soldiers to hand the box to Niu Si.
Niu Si ca out to greet Liu Feng after about 10 minutes. Young Master, sorry to let you wait for so long.
Dont worry about it. There arent any problems here, right? Liu Feng went inside with Mina, Anri, and Nicole.
None at all. Everyone is working diligently because of the large amount of salary they get, Niu Si said. He was always very serious and cautious, which was why Liu Feng put him in charge of the security of the Departnt of Scientific Research.
There isnt a problem with the housing, is there?
There are enough houses for them to live in, and the food supplies here would be enough to last for three months, Niu Si said, grinning. This place felt like a whole different world to him, and everyone was busy working on the tasks that Liu Feng gave them.
The valley wasnt big or small and was enough for a few hundred people to live in. The wooden houses that had previously been here had all been replaced by cent houses.
The valley was divided into many areas, including the paper research area and the military items research area.
Liu Feng also knew about the places that researched spinning jennies and loom yards as he was the one who designed this place.
When Liu Feng entered the yard, he imdiately saw the spinning jenny. It looked ugly and crude, but he was still satisfied since it was a pretty good product considering that it was made by a bunch of inexperienced carpenters.
Young Master! the carpenters kneeled on the ground and bowed down.
Liu Feng waved his hand and let them get up. He stared at them, asking, How is it? Can it make linen thread?
Yes, it can!
The carpenters scrambled as they went to bring over a few threads of thick linen.
Liu Feng took the linen threads, speechless as he inspected them. The toughness is okay, but its too thick and the fabric made from this would be too thick.
Has the linen fabric been made out? Liu Feng asked as he looked around and failed to find a loom.
Lord Liu Feng, its inside! the carpenters said as they scrambled inside the house and took out the loom, along with a piece of half-finished fabric.
Liu Feng walked over to the loom and touched the linen fabric. Too thick. It could be used to make sacks, but making clothes would be stretching it.
What do you guys think? Liu Feng asked, turning his head around.
Good. Its definitely very good!
Yeah. Such thick linen fabric would make clothes that are very durable and can probably be worn for years.
The carpenters shouted excitedly, which made Liu Feng realize that such thick linen clothing was already luxuries that commoners could only hope for.
Young Master, it would be better if the fabric was a little thinner, Nicole said.
Yeah. The skin would peel off if people wore such thick fabric, Mina said, nodding.
These linen fabrics can be produced, but we need thinner ones, Anri said as she wrote things down on her notepad. After all, the rchants and nobles that want to enjoy life are the biggest buyers.
The three of them basically said everything that Liu Feng was thinking. He walked over to the spinning jenny and imdiately realized why the linen thread was so thick when he looked at all the crudely made parts inside the machine.
All of you, co here, Liu Feng said to the carpenter. He pointed to a few key parts of the spinning jenny, saying, This part here is too thick. This place needs to be changed as well. You cant have parts that run at different speeds
After the carpenters nodded, Liu Feng told them the main issue. You guys are too impatient when operating this. This is an extrely delicate work, so find a few won to operate this.
Also, the sa things with the loom. Let won operate it. Liu Feng walked over to the loom and once again pointed to a few places. Change the thickness of these lines. Also, use steel lines since thin wood lines break very easily.
Understood! the carpenters said, nodding their heads.
Liu Feng looked at the carpenters and said, You must always keep improving these two machines. Then, you should find a way to power it with hydropower by using water wheels to save human power.
Lord Liu Feng, what is a water wheel? the carpenters asked, scratching their heads in confusion. They had no idea what water wheels and hydropower were.
