Chapter Eighty-Five: Time

Back in Vulcan Village, the weather is getting milder day by day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info finding a new place to settle is generally a happy thing, but Long Qiupeng is always reluctant to think of that somewhat sad time, which makes the new city plan that should have been launched immediately temporarily stranded because of Long Qiupeng's procrastination.

That night, Long Qiupeng was lying in his room in a daze, and suddenly realized that there was already a faint cry of insects outside. He subconsciously said: "It seems that it has been stinging......"

The brook on one side didn't understand, but she wouldn't take the initiative to ask unless it was a matter of work. But he still looked at Long Qiupeng curiously, hoping that he could explain it to himself.

But this time, Long Qiupeng didn't explain it to Xi, because he could recite the twenty-four solar terms song backwards, but it was useless, because there was no way to confirm the time, and any solar term was in vain.

He took Brook's hand, sighed, looked at her and asked, "How long have I been back?" ”

Brook blinked, but shook her head in the end. Yes, the days of leaving Long Qiupeng are like years, she naturally remembers every minute and every second, but the days of reunion with Long Qiupeng make her like a dream, who will go to record the time.

Looking at Long Qiupeng's somewhat lonely affection, Xi said, "Are you thinking, Xiangmei?" Speaking of Xiangmei, Xi's expression was still very calm, after all, it was very normal for the tribal leader to have those few women at that time.

However, Long Qiupeng, who took care of the woman's jealousy, felt that Xi really had some majesty and stability of "mother's grace in the world". He smiled and kissed the stream and said, "No, I just feel that after returning to the tribe, it has been delayed for a long time......

He didn't say this completely to make Xi happy, it was true that when he first came back, Long Qiupeng felt like he had been drained, and he couldn't raise the interest to manage the tribe, and then he was used to being idle, so he was even more reluctant to start a hardship.

When he first returned to Huoshen Village, it was still warm and cold in early spring, and at this time, it was already after the sting of insects, and the days in this trance were also a little confused, Long Qiupeng suddenly realized that if the construction plan of the new city dragged on indefinitely, if the flood really flooded that day and completely flooded the land, then all his efforts would be wasted.

He sighed, smiled at Xi and said, "Tomorrow I will discuss the establishment of a new city with Dahu, no longer wait, I am afraid that the rain will come." ”

Long Qiupeng is a person with many shortcomings, but only determination and willpower are incomparable to others. No matter how long he has been depressed, as long as he decides to start doing it, he will immediately devote himself to what he wants to do.

After a period of "having a book to play, no book to retreat", and then let everyone disperse. At this morning meeting, he finally stopped looking at everyone lazily.

Early in the morning, he was full of energy, and said before everyone: "Dahu, you go back and send people to the Qiutu tribe to select another group of stone and wood craftsmen, we are ready to build a new city on the basis of the Tiannu Department!" ”

Then he looked at the others and said, "You can talk about the questions you asked a few days ago, and I will try to answer them to you today." ”

Seeing him rejuvenated, the courtiers of the Dragon Clan, who were lazy to the point of despair, also regained their energy. Especially in Dahu, because of Long Qiupeng's "strike", the manufacturing process of crossbows was stalled for a while, which made him very worried, and now he has finally resumed development.

Sure enough, whether it was the establishment of a new city or the management of an old city, Long Qiupeng gave everyone an answer one by one on the same day, and the work of the Long tribe should be back on track immediately.

Although everyone thought this was very good, when dealing with large and small affairs, Long Qiupeng suddenly discovered a new problem. For a long time before, he almost only needed to deal with one thing at a time, so he didn't have such a deep feeling.

But since Long Qiupeng left the tribe to find the address of the new city, until now, it may not be more than three months, the scale of the Long tribe is not small, and a lot of affairs have accumulated during this period of time waiting for Long Qiupeng to deal with them one by one.

In fact, these jobs themselves are not difficult, but because of the lack of time concept, when these jobs are crowded together, not to mention Long Qiupeng, who is in charge of the decision-making power of all the Long tribes, even the people below who do specific things will feel that there are too many things and can't figure it out.

Long Qiupeng, who has experienced modern life, is very necessary in the face of such a situation, but now there is no time, let alone management, and in the long run, there will definitely be chaos.

After dragging on for so long, the problem of time and calendar has finally reached the point where it cannot be solved, and Long Qiupeng is now ready to give life to time.

However, this matter is simple and poetic, but when it comes to doing it, it is still difficult.

In this matter, Long Qiupeng decided to make it easy first and then difficult, and break it one by one. So compared to the long time of the years, he still decided to start from the day.

There are many timekeeping tools, ranging from simple to complex, but Long Qiupeng undoubtedly chose the sundial as his main timekeeping tool. On the one hand, because the production of sundials is relatively simple, on the other hand, Long Qiupeng is relatively familiar with the working principle of this thing.

It doesn't take many advanced measurement tools to do it well.

The sundial is generally divided into three parts, one is the pointer, one is the "dial" of the sundial, and finally the base. There are basically only two difficulties, one is the "surface" scale, and the other is the angle between the dial and the base.

The former Long Qiupeng decided to find those paradigm craftsmen to solve the problem, although they did not understand mathematics and did not have any in-depth study of geometry, but years of experience made each of them a "geometrician" above Long Qiupeng.

The latter requires the so-called latitude in geography to confirm this angle, in a primitive society where astronomy and geography are still blank, it is unreliable to rely on others, and can only be done by Long Qiupeng himself.

If he were an ordinary person, maybe this question would really stump him. However, as a person with a lot of experience in the wild, how to determine the dimension you are in through the natural environment is also a basic skill.

There are two main ways to measure dimensions, one is to measure the height of the sun or the length of the shadow at noon during the day, and then estimate the latitude of the direct point of the sun according to the date, and then apply the noon solar height formula to calculate the local latitude. However, not to mention the solar altitude formula, even the date Long Qiupeng has nowhere to refer to.

Apparently he had only the second option: to determine the local dimension by looking at the height of the North Star at night.
