Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Shock of a Mechanical Watch
"Haha......, it's not bad, it's not bad for a second, I'm such a genius." Bai Yang's mood at this moment was so excited that he couldn't express it.
For Bai Yang, this time was too difficult. This was his first invention during his arrival in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was more complicated.
Although the process is a bit torturous and the finished product is not so beautiful, it also shows that some of my ideas are feasible. In other words, those things in his heart can also gradually appear, which means a lot to him.
Although nothing happened during this time, it still felt a little unreal in his heart. I have nothing, there are no generals, strategists, and no golden fingers at the beginning. Although later he intermittently fooled Jia Xu, Zhou Cang and others into his account. But can he really earn male power with Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others? I didn't see the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, Dong Zhuo, the invincible Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu, the first in the world, all of whom died tragically, let alone themselves?
But now, from the moment he made the mechanical watch, Bai Yang suddenly felt that he had strength in himself. He has more than 2,000 years of rich knowledge and vision in later generations, knows the general process of history, knows the location of historical figures, and now he has a much higher starting point than Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, and Sun Quan was not born. In this case, if you can't play it yourself, these people will be too embarrassing for the compatriots who have crossed.
"Minister Sun, give you a task, find a few people to take turns squatting here. Take my watch, do you see? Now they both have the same pointer. ”
Bai Yang said and took off the military mechanical watch in his hand, and said to Sun Chen: "You tell everyone to keep an eye on the big mechanical watch and the small mechanical watch, and keep them consistent at any time." If you feel that the hands of a large mechanical watch are moving slowly or not moving, record it, and immediately put it on the side of the watch as I did just now, just take that rod and turn it seven or eight times. Then I'll look at it and see how much the two tables differ in a day's time, and I'll check it again tomorrow this time. ”
Sun Chen looked at Bai Yang's serious instructions and knew that this was particularly important, although he was full of questions, he still said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will personally lead people to guard here to ensure that the task is completed." ”
"Well, that's good, if there's a very strong wind or something, cover the lid, or the pointer will fall off if you shake the pointer violently for a long time."
"Yes, my lord, don't worry."
The elders looked at Bai Yang and Sun Chen's explanation, and asked, "Xiao Yang, what is this, it looks very complicated, what is this for?" ”
Looking at the elders and asking, everyone gathered around curiously. Bai Yang looked at everyone and said, "Everyone be quiet, I'll talk to everyone." This is a timekeeping tool I invented, called a mechanical watch. ”
"During this time, I feel that everyone's concept of time is too vague, and now the division is too rough to determine a certain point in time. So I thought about it and finally invented it. Bai Yang shamelessly took the invention of the mechanical watch into his own hands, and he didn't feel red at all.
"So, I'll give you an introduction first." After Bai Yang finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and suddenly saw Jia Xu walking towards this side with a bamboo slip, so he shouted at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, where have you been?" Just came back? As he spoke, he waved his hand at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu ran over in a few steps, saw everyone surrounding such a big guy and asked, "Lord, what is this?" I'm not here for a few days, you're tossing this? ”
Looking at Jia Xu's face full of suspicion, he walked around the mechanical watch vigorously, touching here, looking where.
"Haha, Wenhe, how's it going? I'll take you to do it, you're so smart, you show it, what is this for? Bai Yang saw that Jia Xu was so interested, so he thought about embarrassing him to see how this top strategist's thinking expansion ability was.
Jia Xu walked around the mechanical watch, looked at this, looked at that, and listened to the sound of "tick-tock" as if he knew something.
"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, this thing has a similar effect to the one you have in your hand. I used to see you looking at it when you were training a sergeant, and when you were in a hurry, thinking that this thing should be similar to that thing. ”
"And there are simplified numbers and scales invented by the lord, and they are designed in the shape of a disc, which can make them continue to repeat the cycle, if you are not mistaken, it should be a thing used for time, and I don't know the specifics."
Looking at what Jia Xu said, Bai Yang broke out in a cold sweat. This is too demonic, so I turned around a few times, and guessed it against my usual behavior and habits, which is also too powerful.
"Good, good, good. Hahahaha...... Wen He is right, this is indeed a timer. You asked me just now, and I'm going to explain his principle to you now. But I don't know if there is an error now, so it is still a semi-finished product, and it is a real finished product after Minister Sun passes the inspection. Okay, everybody look in the direction of my finger. Bai Yang said, pointing in the direction of the dial.
"Everybody has learned simplified numbers, which are 1 to 12, and in order I made them into circles on an equal scale.
As you know, the day is now divided into twelve hours. For the sake of more accurate timekeeping, I divided the twelve hours into twenty-four hours, twelve during the day and twelve at night. Another hour was divided into sixty minutes, and one minute into sixty seconds. In this way, after everyone understands this mechanical watch, you can accurately know the time at that time, which is the hour of the day or night, and the time of one second is the time period when you hear the sound of "ticking", and the thickest hand in this is the hour hand, and the hour hand points to the number that represents ......"
In order to make everyone clear, Bai Yang gave everyone this lecture for more than an hour, and everyone was confused. Except for Jia Xu, who roughly understood, the others were blindfolded.
"Lord, although I still haven't figured out some places, I feel that this is an epoch-making artifact, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an 'artifact', and the talent of the lord is beyond the reach of the dust." With Bai Yang's narration, Jia Xu also roughly saw the power and use of this thing.
If this is brought with it in the future when the battle is fought, and the generals make an appointment in advance between them to attack when and where, then there is no need for heralds or flags.
In military training, we can also standardize everyone's training content, and if everyone has a mechanical watch at home, they don't need to play more, which can be said to be too many places that can be used.
"Wen and Yan are heavy, average, average, hahahaha......." Bai Yang is so sassy, the beauty in his heart, not to mention how happy.
Although you don't understand it very well now, it will be too convenient for everyone's life when you get used to it in the future, and the most important thing is that it is directly related to Baiyang's next big move.
"Alright, let's all disperse. Brother Sun, remember my words, don't make a mistake. Bai Yang saw that it was not a matter for everyone to gather here all the time, and after ordering everyone to disperse, he told Sun Chen two words.
Seeing everyone reluctantly walk away, Bai Yang also went back to the study. Jia Xu calmed down before he remembered that he had something to report to Bai Yang, and he almost forgot about it. patted his head, said hello to Sun Chen, and walked towards Bai Yang's study.
