Chapter 628 - Hydroelectric Spinning Mill Construction Completed

As they spoke, they had already arrived at their destination.A miniature beauty with stunning butterfly wings fluttering behind her and dressed in a snow-white princess gown enthusiastically approached them and said, "Mr. Gaven, weâve done it, the hydroelectric spinning mill is built, and its production efficiency is thirty percent higher than our initial estimates. After it starts running smoothly, we can improve it by another thirty percent."
"I know, it must have been tough for you recently. Zalanda has told me all about it. The fact that this factory could start production so quickly is largely thanks to you. In a bit, you should put aside your work and come with me to Mesnoel for a well-deserved break, to rest and recuperate," said Gaven, not sparing any praise.
He now deeply understood the nature of the Fae Race, so he knew how rare it was for a Pikespirit girl like Nicole to be able to settle down in one place and work tirelessly day and night for over a month.
Her current Transcendent Rank didnât come just from her prowess on the Path of War but also from her extensive design and implementation efforts that had finally come into fruition.
"I canât," Nicole shook her head again and again, serious determination on her tiny face. "The mill has just started operating, many machines are not running smoothly, and I understand them best. I can think about taking a break when the apprentices can take over the big responsibilities..."
Before the Pikespirit girl could finish her sentence, a human girl rushed out in a hurry, "Teacher Nicole, Teacher Nicole, a machine has stopped working, please come have a look."
"See, I havenât even left for three minutes," Nicole pouted, trying to show a helpless expression.
But in her delicate features, she couldnât hide her pride and contentment; the feeling of being needed and irreplaceable was exceptionally good, and clearly, the Pikespirit girl enjoyed this feeling a lot.
"Donât worry about me, business is important. I mainly came to check on the production quantity, and I canât stay for too long, Iâll have to leave soon," Gaven said to Nicole with a smile.
"Then I wonât take you on a tour," the Pikespirit girl quickly said, and without waiting for an answer, she eagerly escorted the human girl towards the factory, asking about the cause while occasionally scolding and teaching.
The human girl, who was seven or eight times taller than the Pikespirit girl, listened with the utmost respect and a willingness to learn.
Nicoleâs actions were the embodiment of what it meant to have a stature of sixteen centimeters but an aura of eighteen meters.
Zalanda explained on the side, "Ms. Nicoleâs role here is irreplaceable in the short term. She is responsible not just for maintaining the equipment, but also for further improvement and adjustment. Itâs said sheâs developing a type of fine spinning machine that will produce even higher output, with thread that is not only finer but also more durable."
"Thatâs all the help I can offer; the extent to which it can be achieved is up to her now," Gaven said helplessly, spreading his hands.
As it is said, there are specialists in every field, and he certainly didnât have expertise in this area.
Providing some relatively simple ideas and future directions was already the limit of what he could do; the rest was up to professionals like Nicole, who had the capability and the ideas for this field.
Zalanda nodded in deep agreement, "Likewise, the only thing I can do now is to provide whatever she needs."
Once inside the massive factory, the rhythmic sound of mechanical clanking echoed in his ears, a regular and rhythmic "click-clack."
The factory was elongated because it relied on the canal for a power source. A dozen large wood and iron machines stood side by side, with countless workers busily operating around them. Fluffy cotton swiftly transformed into clean white thread and was rolled into spools of cotton yarn.
On Earth, such a scale would at best be considered a medium-sized enterprise, slightly larger than a private workshop. ThÉŞs chapter is updatá´d by Nová´lFÉŞre.É´et
But in Felen, it was certainly one of the rare large factories. Scattered across the whole continent, there werenât too many, and most of them would be magic factories rather than this kind of factory operated by common people.
Without waiting for Gaven to ask, Zalanda took the initiative to explain, "This factory is a cross-era masterpiece and will cause a fatal shock to the entire textile industry. This factory, with only eighteen machines and over a hundred people, produces enough cotton yarn to match the work of twenty thousand people working day and night."
"Because it not only mechanized the textile process but also replaced most manual labor with water-driven machinery for cleaning debris, ginning cotton and fluffing cotton, it achieved complete automation: cotton enters the factory and cotton thread exits."
"Now that costs have come down, you can slightly increase the purchase price of cotton. As long as the price increases, the economic blockade by those warlord nobles will collapse on its own. Even in the modern age of information, economic blockades arenât easy to accomplish, let alone in Felen where communication methods are somewhat inconvenient."
As long as the incentive is big enough, thereâs nothing merchants wouldnât dare to do or couldnât do.
"We are already doing that. The market price for cotton we offer is double that of other regions. Just this morning, I sent away envoys from the Saladas Family who were accusing us of disrupting the entire cotton market," Zalanda said with a cold laugh. "What is the ânormal marketâ for cotton? Must it follow their set prices? Must they squeeze every bit of profit from the hands of those farmers? I want to see, aside from these accusations, what outrageous things they can do."
Zalandaâs mindset was somewhat different now from when Gaven had last seen her.
Back then, even with the backing of the Goddess of Strategy, she was still extremely cautious and walking on thin ice when dealing with those warlord nobles. It was difficult for her to take a completely hard stance.
After all, deities are not omnipotent, especially when it comes to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people; the assistance they can offer is very limited.
But now things were different. The innovations that Gaven brought not only overcame her weaknesses but also developed into her strengthsâher new weapon.
If you want to wage economic war, then brace for the shock of the new textile technology first.
