Through the newly improved crankshaft-flywheel mechanism, it converts reciprocating motion into continuous, uniform rotational force, driving a small spinning machine with ten spindles attached beside it, and begins to rotate steadily!
The workshop remains quiet, only the hiss of steam can be heard.
There are no cheers, no leaps of joy; the disciples simply widen their eyes, staring intensely at the machine's continuous operation with faces full of a mix of disbelief, shock, and intertwined joy.
Its operation is not rapid, and its power is limited. Driving these ten spindles is already its limit.
Moreover, having run for about the time it takes a stick of incense to burn, a faint white steam starts to seep from the seals again, and the slide valve begins to show some stuttering. Gu Qi decisively orders it to be shut down.
The machine slowly comes to a halt.
It is only at this moment that a suppressed, low cheer breaks out in the workshop.
