Wang Zhe and Liao Shi, who were stationed in Luzon, first had a war with the local natives, and then used the dwarf blacks and indigenous slaves in Luzon to mine gold and copper mines. Mobile

In order to cope with the future crisis, hard currencies such as gold, silver, copper, and grain are becoming more and more important to Lotte's future layout. The Great Song Dynasty's strategy of immigrating to Luzon to colonize the wilderness could not support its own strategic layout within ten years, and the use of Luzon dwarf black smoke straight people and indigenous slaves could greatly shorten the time of this strategic layout, and Lotte could only adopt a tacit attitude towards this.

Lotte is very pleased that the first two paddle steamer steam engines are still reliable, and the ship was launched in Hangzhou Bay for a period of two months.

Knowing that the scientific and technological level of the Northern Song Dynasty was backward, before starting to design and manufacture steam engines, Lotte Kai pondered and formulated a set of standardized industrial standards, such as the size of bolts, the diameter of water pipes, and so on. It may seem insignificant, but it plays a vital role in industrialization.

After telling him about what he had seen and heard in Hangzhou and the trial voyage of the paddle steamer, he finally hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Official, there is something to ...... The little ones will report to you......"

Looking at the deed ticket taken out by shakuchi, Lotte looked indifferent: "It was given to you by the king!" ”

Lotte smiled and nodded, "Got it, it's been a few days since the trial voyage of the two ships." ”

Shakuchi was shocked: "Official, the little one doesn't have any intention of hiding you......"

"Thank you for the grace of the officials, the small ones will be broken by the officials!" Shakuchi busy.

Shakuchi hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes!" ”

Just as Lotte was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone calling outside the door.

I only heard the people outside say: "Someone in the other courtyard is carrying something called a clock, and he has come to see you, master!" ”

After speaking, Lotte got up and walked out, and said to Shakuchi at the same time: "You haven't been in Biandu for the past few months, I'll show you something special!" ”

"Slow down, slow down, there are only ten such things in the entire Biandu City, and they are scarce and tight, you have to handle them gently!"

At the end of March, Lotte began to try to recall the structure of the clock, and drew drawings based on the servo mechanism structure of the armillary sphere, and then sent the drawings to the annex, and after further structural research, they were made according to the drawings.

It took four months for the craftsmen in the courtyard to make the first clock. It's just that this world's earliest clock is more than one person tall and weighs more than 100 pounds. As the world's first clock, there are many shortcomings, in addition to the huge and bulky size, there is also a large time difference, there is an error of one quarter to two quarters of an hour a day. Moreover, each string can only last for a day and a half, so it is necessary to string once a day, which is obviously not comparable to the clocks of later generations.

Of course, Lotte understands that the huge error and huge volume of the clock are caused by the backward level of science and technology, because there are no technical standards, and all the parts are original and handmade, which cannot meet the corresponding precision requirements.

"I've seen Master Hou, I don't know where this clock is in the house, the little one ordered someone to move in!"

"Put it in the main hall!" Lotte nodded.

As soon as Lotte's words fell, another person came with the car, carrying a two-foot-long box on his back, into the courtyard and bowed his hands.

Although this person is not mysterious, he is the most secret group of people hidden by Lotte, and it is Wang Lao'er who is hidden by Lotte in the deepest part of the courtyard, the artillery workshop.

"Gift-giving?" Rakuten was surprised.

Hearing that someone from the front yard came to the house and sent a new thing, Le Zhao and Le Yu ran out, looked at the clock that had been moved to the yard by the miscellaneous people, and asked.

"No rules!"

Hearing Lotte say this, Old Man Wang and Steward Xiong hurriedly said: "Little Lao'er would never dare to be a gift to the two yamen!" ”

"Don't dare to be!" Seeing the two children giving gifts, Old Man Wang and Steward Xiong said busily.

Hearing this, Old Man Wang and Steward Xiong glanced at each other at the same time, their eyes were stunned, they all knew that Lord Le Hou had always acted in an informal style, but he didn't expect to be informal, not to distinguish between high and low style, and even to say things that were almost rebellious, such as everyone being equal, how could the surprise in his heart be described in words.

Hearing this, the manager of Xiong on the side also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Hou Ye doesn't want to say this, if it spreads, Hou Ye will be ashamed of the scholars!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lotte snorted coldly, mixed with disdain: "In Le's eyes, these people are not waiting at all, and you are the craftsmen of a great country and the foundation of the future of the Great Song Dynasty, and those so-called scholars are just walking corpses with vegetarian meals in Le's eyes!" ”

"Great country craftsmen?" But what surprised the two even more was that the four words that Lotte said, the two said almost in unison.

Lotte nodded.

"Daddy, Daddy, you haven't told the child yet, what the hell is this?" Le Zhao pointed to the bulky clock and said.

"What is a clock?" Le Yu said puzzled.

Pushing the two children to the shakuchi, Lotte instructed: "Shakuchi, you take the two little ones to see the clock, I have something to talk about with Master Wang!" ”

Steward Xiong was interested and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, the little one will go to debug the clock first." ”

Old man Wang said very mysteriously: "Can Master Hou take the step to speak, so that the little old man dares to show this thing to Master Hou!" ”

Wu Song and Yang Zhi are responsible for Lotte's personal safety, that is, Lotte is at home, as long as there is one person by Lotte's side at any time in the front house, escorting Lotte to the study and guarding outside.

When he arrived at the study, Old Man Wang put down the wooden box in his hand and opened the lid of the box, and Lotte's eyes instantly became surprised and better.

Is history always strikingly similar, or is it the way the laws of natural science develop?
