Chapter 297 Can people fly in the sky?
Su Yujiao said casually: "No need, a cup made them crazy with joy."
"What cup?"
"Anything here would be a priceless antique in my world."
"The little teacup you just drank water from sold for a whopping 3.8 million yuan."
Ok?
How many?
How much is 3.8 billion?
Su Yujiao looked at the confused face of the prince and explained: "One hundred million taels of silver is equal to one hundred million taels of silver."
"You can calculate it yourself?"
The prince's eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock. If this happened in modern times, people would definitely exclaim "Wow!"
"This...this teacup is so valuable?"
"Antiques are naturally valuable."
"Then... then my dragon robe is not worth much?"
“Not even as valuable as a cup?”
Su Yujiao shook her head: "That's definitely not the case. The money for a cup is enough for us to do our business. We don't need your court robes for the time being."
"When the money is insufficient, I will take some bowls and plates to pay you back. There are many collectors willing to buy them."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Is the warehouse I asked you to prepare ready?"
The prince nodded: "It's ready. Did my cousin buy the food?"
"Food will have to wait for a few days, and I only bought some small items like cloth and a sewing machine."
"Buying cloth?"
Prince, do you think cloth is not the most urgent thing?
Food and water are the key, as well as those building materials that my cousin’s wife mentioned that can be used to build high-rise buildings!
Never mind, my cousin’s wife did this for her own reasons!
"I will personally take my cousin's wife there."
"it is good."
The two men left the palace and went to the prince's private granaries, but all the granaries were empty.
After all, last year many parts of the country were hit by drought and the people had no harvest...
Otherwise, he wouldn't need his cousin's wife to go to her world to buy food!
"Cousin, are these places enough?"
"That's enough for now."
"We're not that many yet."
"My advice is that the more the better. Stock up on more food so you can save one more life in the future."
"And you can't put all your eggs in one basket. You have to separate them. If the granary is destroyed, everyone will starve to death."
The prince nodded: "I naturally understand these principles."
"Please step out for a moment, Prince."
"it is good."
Soon, Su Yujiao's voice came from inside: "The prince can come in."
The prince entered the granary again, and as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene inside.
How...how is this done?
But in just a few moments, my cousin's wife actually created so many things!
When they came, my cousin's wife clearly came in empty-handed!
This is amazing! !
The prince walked forward quickly and touched the gray-white cloth. It was very thick and hard, and it might not be very comfortable to use it to make clothes.
"Cousin, is this fabric the cheapest in your country?"
"No, I bought the best quality canvas. It's not cheap."
"Is there no softer fabric in my cousin's country?"
Su Yujiao was stunned. "Yes, there are all kinds of fabrics, silk, cotton, silk, flannel, gauze, linen, waterproof cloth, too many to count."
"Then why doesn't my cousin buy something that is both cheap and soft?"
"Those fabrics are too soft to be used in hot air balloons."
"I didn't buy these to make clothes."
"What is a hot air balloon?"
"Um... that's it. Use these cloths to make a big ball, hang a big basket underneath, use kerosene to heat the air, and then sit in the basket and you can fly into the sky."
"When the zombies... Gu people attack, we can have our soldiers fly up to the sky and drop gunpowder bags to blow up those monsters."
The prince was stunned when he heard this. It was a good idea, but he didn't believe it!
If we make a sphere with these cloths, people can fly into the sky?
This is simply a fantasy!
Seeing his disbelief, Su Yujiao said, "I know you don't believe it, but you will believe it when I show you how to do it."
The prince nodded. Although he didn't believe it, he was looking forward to it!
Because my cousin’s wife is a fairy, maybe she can really do it!
Then, he turned his attention to the old-fashioned sewing machines and asked, "Cousin, what are those?"
"A sewing machine is used for sewing. It can improve efficiency and is much faster than sewing one stitch at a time."
"How fast?"
"how to use?"
"Let me show you. I've been learning from others for a long time, but I'm still not very proficient."
"But once you master the basics of using a sewing machine, the rest is a matter of practice makes perfect."
As Su Yujiao spoke, she took out the handkerchief she carried with her, placed it under the needle, threaded the needle, and then lightly stepped on the footboard below with her feet.
The foot pedal is used to control the speed of the sewing machine. The speed can be controlled by pressing different positions or rotating the foot pedal.
With just a few clicks, in the blink of an eye, a handkerchief was folded in half and sewn together, so fast that it made people doubt life.
If you use an embroidery needle, sewing stitch by stitch, you probably only sewed two stitches, right?
"Besides sewing, you can also embroider."
Su Yujiao took out a ballpoint pen and drew a small flower on the handkerchief. Then she pointed the needle at the embroidery pattern, first embroidering the petals with pink, and then switching to yellow to embroider the stamens.
With a few clicks, a small pink flower is embroidered.
The prince exclaimed that it was amazing, the efficiency improvement was indeed not a small amount!
He had heard before that it took ten embroiderers one or two years to embroider the dragon robe worn by his father.
If we use this machine to embroider a dragon robe, wouldn't it be completed in a month or so?
Su Yujiao listened to the prince's words, smiled and shook her head: "No."
"Embroidering a dragon robe is a delicate job, and it uses gold and silver threads, so it must be embroidered by hand."
"Machine embroidery can never compare to proper hand embroidery."
"This sewing machine is fast. It is very practical for sewing clothes, hats, shoes and socks. However, the embroidery is relatively rough and cannot replace manual work."
"It's like Suzhou embroidery or double-sided embroidery. If you smash it, it won't work."
"It's still very practical for ordinary people's homes or garment factories to make clothes."
"I bought these for a hot air balloon."
"Oh, send someone to cut some bamboo, build a frame with bamboo strips, and then sew these canvases on top..."
"Find a group of people who are quick learners, both men and women, and I'll teach them how to use sewing machines."
"Once the steel and cement arrive, we'll need to find a group of bricklayers to reinforce the city wall."
"Oh, yes, there are also weapons and armor. I bought quite a few of them, but they are not sharpened."
"It needs to be sharpened by a blacksmith before it can be used. You should also find some suitable people."
"More importantly, we need to mass-produce gunpowder. I taught them how to make fixed-fit paper bombs. That's all we can do with our current technology."
The prince nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will listen to my cousin's wife."
"Prince, could you lend me a few people to help me transport some things back?"
"I want to reinforce the small courtyard at my home as well."
"Naturally."
"Where are my cousin's things?"
