Spinning Jenny

Although Hu Mifeng had used up all his points in the battle to defend the city, as the former richest man, he still had countless assets in his territory. He immediately ordered 100 iron weapons.

Perhaps because he was worried that Ye Miaomiao wouldn't be able to afford it, he didn't order too much. Of course, Ye Miaomiao wasn't planning to sell him too much either. Making money was one thing, but Yunshen Yuanshun's high martial arts skills would pose a threat to E E E.

But... one hundred pieces is too few! It didn't even meet Ye Miaomiao's minimum expectation.

She stared at Hu Mifeng, her expression incoherent. He was oblivious. "Level three tools can only be purchased by mid-level couriers. Our territory has struggled to enter the Iron Age, and our development level is low. A level three tool room can only produce ten tools a day. Long Guohai and his men's iron development level isn't high either. We can only defeat them because of their numerical superiority."

"You're probably about the same. Your own territory has already been depleted enough. How can I have the nerve to take advantage of you? It's enough to barely resist the dragon crossing the sea."

Ye Miaomiao was speechless. She silently thought about her primary factory, which could produce 100 level 3 tools a day. She didn't know how to speak to Hu Mifeng so that he would believe her. She couldn't just tell others the secrets of the territory for the sake of making money!

After a moment's thought, he came up with another idea.

Ye Miaomiao discovered that her mind always seemed to shine brighter when it came to making money. Filled with self-satisfaction, she proudly said, "If you're worried about them attacking the city, I have something even better."

What could be better than a level three weapon? Hu Mifeng, already satisfied, smiled and shook his head, thinking Ye Miaomiao was just teasing him.

Ye Miaomiao just smiled without saying anything, and immediately sent a private message to the volunteer team leader who was in charge of the "wall trap" during the blood moon. When they learned that the lord had found them a job to earn money, they immediately dropped their axes and stopped chopping trees!

He rushed over excitedly and his eyes lit up when he saw Hu Mifeng sitting opposite Ye Miaomiao.

Ye Miaomiao took out stones, wood, and vines from the warehouse: "Hurry up and demonstrate it to Lord Hu."

When they thought that this was the territory of the "richest man", they felt that the future was bright or dark right in front of them, so they immediately worked hard and did not forget to promote the business at the same time.

"Even though it's just a level 2 disposable tool, each one only deals 8 damage, but after we arrange them, the three traps combined can deal 40 damage! Forget level 3 tools, they're definitely more powerful than level 4 tools!"

"Our lord went to the central area specifically to capture over twenty small monsters. He returned and conducted experiments for a day before coming up with this arrangement. The data we obtained at the risk of our lives is absolutely rigorous!"

"A slight difference in arrangement will result in reduced damage. This is our territory's exclusive technology..."

Hu Mifeng was initially quite helpless, and only managed to sit down reluctantly for Ye Miaomiao's sake. However, as these people's boasting became more and more outrageous, he finally couldn't help but want to speak.

The secondary trap wasn't high-end technology, nor was it a rare blueprint. Furthermore, observing the manufacturing process, it was clear that this "wall trap" required an enormous amount of disposable raw materials. Wasn't that pure waste?

He held it in for a long time, and just when he was about to speak, several people had finished their arrangements.

Hu Mifeng opened the light screen and checked the attributes - eight points plus eight points plus eight points, isn't that only 24 points of damage?

He smiled bitterly: "Lord Ye, this..."

There was a lack of a test subject, and one of them immediately volunteered: "Lord, I'll do it!" Moved by this, Ye Miaomiao asked him to put on armor and handed him the life potion. After taking a sip, he stepped into the trap fearlessly.

The displayed personal panel clearly read: [You have suffered 40 points of damage from the "Wall Trap"! Armor resistance... Health potion recovery...]

He climbed out of the trap in a panic, but fortunately he was wrapped in armor so tightly that he was not injured.

He ended up looking very disgraced, yet he still showed the screen. He looked at Hu Mifeng proudly, as if to say, "Now you believe it."

Hu Mifeng murmured, "Oh my God!" He looked over and over in shock at the trap attributes and the notifications on the system panel.

The system wouldn't lie. This proved that this ordinary trap, which he had originally thought was "useless," actually had such high damage! As for the fact that a full set of armor could resist damage, Hu Mifeng had overlooked it. Besides the Hungry Hungry Territory, who else could have a full set of armor?

Hu Mifeng was shocked, but also felt relieved that he did not leave early out of arrogance.

Recalling the bragging of the others just now, Hu Mifeng had to face up to the fact that what they said was very likely true! Lord Ye had actually captured a monster for experimentation! He had conducted many experiments before getting this shocking result!

It’s really...admirable!

And now, she is willing to sell the results to himself, and Hu Mifeng feels that no price is too high.

"Then how do you sell this?" Hu Mifeng asked cautiously. "We need a lot. Of course, we can provide the stones, wood, and vines ourselves."

Selling only manpower would be fine, but Ye Miaomiao was reluctant to sell her own resources. She looked at the volunteer who had just climbed out of the trap, his face still dusty and flushed with excitement, and touched her chin.

"So, 6 points to craft a set of traps?"

Seeing Hu Mifeng nod readily, the volunteers looked at each other excitedly—six points! Expand and become stronger! Their work had actually become a territory, and they were starting to outsource it!

After seeing Hu Mifeng off, Ye Miaomiao posted a notice in the group.

A set of traps costs six points, the territory costs two points, and the remaining four points are one point for making a single trap and one point for assembling it.

Suddenly the atmosphere in the territory became heated, especially for the group of people who had served as volunteers before. They were already very skilled in making and synthesizing traps, and it was not a very laborious task. You have to say, this was simply a job that paid for nothing!

A group of people were waiting eagerly at the gate of the territory, waiting for Yunshen Yuanshun's people to deliver the raw materials.

After asking a few volunteers to help watch over the place, Ye Miaomiao turned and went to the weaving hut.

She can finally get down to business!

After Ye Miaomiao unlocked most of the Iron Age technology, the researchers spent a huge price to barely unlock the steam engine. 3241 divine lights were worth a full 30,000 points, which was enough to show that entering the steam age was not an easy task.

The thing worth celebrating is that she has touched the corner of the clothes.

For some reason, the Steam Age tech tree lacked a "pass," as if this "pass" was deliberately targeting the Iron Age. Ye Miaomiao suspected it was a "virus" at work, deliberately starving players of resources.

Especially wood.

However, what does this have to do with her, Ye Niuhuru, Steam Age, Miaomiao?

The primary steam civilization only has two simple technologies, one is the "Miner's Friend: Seville Steam Engine" and the other is the "Jenny Loom". Other technologies still need to be researched.

The former can increase the ore mining efficiency by 200%, and can also make all ores more "sturdy and durable". When using the ore, the materials used are halved. All in all, if the original ore standards are used, will the output efficiency increase by 400%?

There was already a lot of various mineral materials stored in the warehouse, and now the amount has increased by 400%. Ye Miaomiao has the idea of ​​building a new mineral warehouse.

She happily took out the second blueprint.

Ye Miaomiao had learned about the "Jenny Loom" in history books when she was in junior high school, so she was not unfamiliar with it.

There are currently four weavers, two of whom are occupied with spinning, spinning 20 pieces of cotton per day, and one person is engaged in weaving cotton. The remaining person uses these 20 pieces of cotton to make five sets of cotton clothes and trousers per day, which is already the limit.

——No wonder Ye Miaomiao still sleeps on a hard bed.

After the bumper harvest, there are now a total of 200,000 pieces of 100 kilograms of cotton. Assuming the same speed is maintained, it will take... 10,000 days, about... 27 years.

Ye Miaomiao: “…”

When you arrive at the Weaving Hut, have everyone leave their workstations. The Weaving Hut is currently too low-level to accommodate level 4 furniture.

Ye Miaomiao placed the third-level blueprint in the weaving hut, adjusted its position so that it was neatly aligned with the road in front of her, and then filled it with the materials one by one.

"Lord, what are you doing?" the person next to him asked in confusion.

I felt a gust of dust rising and the ground shaking, and then a stone house twice as big as the original one appeared in its place. Several sewage pipes were wrapped with colorful cloth sewn with cotton thread, and a circle of colorful tassels hung from the eaves. The corners of doors and houses and other places where people could be hurt were also wrapped with wool.

Under Ye Miaomiao's setting, a new "selling goods" window was added to the house. There was a linen mat in front of the window, which was probably the only linen in the whole house.

"Wow!" I heard an exclamation from behind. Which of the old sisters doesn't have a girlish heart?

However, the older guys were more practical. One of them touched the colorful cotton thread and said worriedly, "This is hard to clean. If it rains, it'll all be gone. Better take it down."

Ye Miaomiao smiled and said, "It's okay, they are decorations that come with the building and won't get dirty." After she said that, she walked into the textile room and took out the Jenny spinning machine.

Everyone looked at her finger and saw that the originally simple wooden machine had transformed into a large rectangular frame, and the large bicycle wheel on the side was very conspicuous.

Spinning Jenny: Spinning efficiency 1200%

The brief description appeared on everyone's screen, surprising them. It was a new tool! The spinning speed was incredible!

But... no one knows how to use them!

Modern workshops have long implemented industrialized spinning, eliminating the need to understand the workings of the machines. While manual labor involves twisting cotton threads one by one, this spinning machine...

Someone expressed his concerns, and Ye Miaomiao thought for a moment, then spent another 300 points to buy two NPCs, making a total of three NPCs. One processed raw cotton, one spun yarn, and one wove cloth, which could produce 240 pieces of cotton every day.

Every four parts of cotton can make one set of upper and lower garments, and 60 sets of upper and lower garments can be made every day; every 20 parts of cotton can make one quilt...

Ye Miaomiao asked them to use half of the cotton to make clothes, and the other half to make some quilt covers and some to make cotton quilts, which was just enough to make three sets of three-piece bedding sets.

After everyone in the cotton-padded clothing territory has made two sets, the share will be distributed to down jackets and woolen coats.

Finally, Ye Miaomiao happily asked them to make a down quilt for herself to sleep in first: Of course, the lord should enjoy it first!

However, the rest of the people could not wait much longer. Several of them nodded happily in agreement. The knitting hut had been greatly upgraded. Finally, they did not have to spin cotton yarn every day and could wear nice clothes. They were very proud of it.

Ye Miaomiao hung a "For Sale" sign in the store. After all the employees received the clothes, the Knitting Hut could officially start selling clothes!

The people waiting eagerly at the gate of the territory were unaware of this, and the person they were waiting for was even less aware of it.

At this moment, Hu Mifeng had just returned to the territory not long ago when news suddenly came to his light screen.

Hu Mifeng didn't take it seriously. He was worried about the "wall trap" in his mind. While moving materials out of the warehouse, he directed everyone to write down the numbers and send them to the Hungry Hungry territory in batches, while turning on the light screen.

It turned out that the "territory rankings" he'd been following had been updated. Did that tough guy take the top spot again? He casually glanced at the screen, and suddenly his breath caught—

[Technology Ranking: "Hungry Hungry" Territory]

Is he dazzled? Is he mistaking affinity for technology?

Hu Mifeng scrolled down in shock and saw the affinity ranking list again.

Hu Mifeng: “!” Oh my goodness! He walked from Hunghengheng’s territory to his own territory in just a few minutes, and Lord Ye broke through again?!
