She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Chapter 526: 524

Ye Xinyan pointed at the schematic of the clamping device, and said to Shi Yin, “If you imagine the ground as this kind of structure, wouldn’t it be able to exert a clamping force? Similarly, if you modify this idea a bit, it wouldn’t be hard to achieve a fastening effect.”

Wouldn’t many things be much simpler if this thing existed in the world? Shi Yin quieted his heart, suppressing the awe and shock within.

“Even if this thing could act as a fastener, making them one by one would be incredibly difficult, especially getting the yin yang screw threads to mesh without gaps. And to talk about mass production, that would be even less possible,” he said.

Although Shi Yin said this, he thought to himself that since Ye Xinyan had mentioned these ideas to him, she must already have some plans in mind. But could there really be a way to produce large quantities of identical-sized, tightly meshing yin yang screw threads?

Ye Xinyan picked up the drawing of the ancient foot-operated lathe again, pointing at the center part, and said, “I was wanting to discuss my thoughts with Master Shi. Look, could we add a spindle here, use gear transmission to rotate the workpiece, and control the feed rate? And over here, find a way to fix the hand-held cutting tool on the lathe, using a lead screw to control the movement range and cutting amount of the tool.”
