An hour has sixty minutes, a minute has sixty seconds, and a day is a total of twenty-seven hours, thirty-seven minutes, and forty-two seconds. Why does it always sound so awkward?

Scold! You are not mistaken, this is the time of the wasteland of Gaia World, but the basic unit of time used is the unit of time on Earth.

When Zhang Quan wanted to order such a batch of strange quartz watches on the earth, he almost didn't laugh to death the business manager of the watchmaking factory. How do you get this surface scale, and where do you get it to use it? In the eyes of the business manager, Zhang Quan specially ordered such a batch of watches, he must not know which strange person was guilty of snake spirit disease, and used money to tease people.

Of course he didn't know that there really was such a world, and the time there, day and night, was really counted like this.

The reason why he wanted to make a custom watch came from Zhang Quan's desire to carry out reforms in his own tribe.

This time the reform was initiated from the tribal field of weights and measures.

In fact, Zhang Quan felt the pain of the lack of weights and measures standards on the first day he came here, but he couldn't find the free time to change the situation.

The orcs in the wasteland have no time at all, and they do not have the concept of benchmarks and weights and measures, and the benchmarks they use are all from the southern humans, but due to the orcs' own living habits and rough thinking, even the local weights and measures standards from the southern humans have passed in the process of continuous time passing.

The self-proclaimed engineer minotaurs of the wasteland, however, use their own set of metrics handed down from antiquity within their own tribe, using the length between the two horn tips of the adult minotaur as one room, well, In fact, it is equivalent to about 2.5 feet on the earth, and this measure is very unstable, the gap between different adult minotaurs can sometimes reach one or two inches, and the first knuckle of the first finger of the first finger of the right hand of the adult minotaur is one finger, which is about 6.5 centimeters on the earth, which is also a large gap. As for why the narrative here is so troublesome, it's because the minotaurs are artiodactyls, and they don't have the thumb, middle finger, and index finger like the earthlings.

Of course, there are also larger measures of length in the wasteland, such as the distance that an adult centaur runs in a breath of time, called a mile, and at this point you may have to ask, what exactly does this breath mean, then this involves the time measurement of the wasteland orcs.

From this it can be seen that time, distance, and weight, the degree of close relationship between these basic physical measures of life, can be said that the society of any intelligent species is macroscopically based on these most basic benchmarks of weights and measures. Every detail of the life of intelligent species has incorporated a large number of these most basic wisdom, without standards, there is no science, and without science, there can be no progress.

The military is a rigorous quantitative discipline, from the calculation of logistics materials to the intelligence of every enemy situation, which is inseparable from the most basic weights and measures. If there is no basic standard, how do the orcs report the enemy's situation and how do they measure the distance? The current crude and simple experience description system of the orcs cannot be used at all in Zhang Quan's eyes, and most of them rely on the rough estimation of the parties. The feeling for Zhang Quan is like a blind man riding a blind horse, and he has no score at all. Even his self-made so-called military map, which is basically the level of self-made strategic maps when playing strategy games, is also very unreliable.

But in this case, the orcs of all races under his command are willing, and they don't feel uncomfortable at all, these guys have been living in such an environment since they were children, and they don't know that they have survived for tens of thousands of years.

In short, the concept of weights and measures of primitive civilization is too coarse and difficult to apply to the production process at all, in fact, Zhang Quan believes that this is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for the science and technology of these primitive tribes of orcs in the orc wasteland to be systematically developed. He had to admit that the brains of orcs were congenitally unsuitable for the development of technology.

But now, Zhang Quan is really ready to make a big splash in weights and measures, which is the first big thing that Zhang Quan feels like he needs to do to change the world.

Compared with this primitive planet, the weights and measures on the earth are much more advanced, such as the meter system, the kilogram system, and the second system, which are closely related to the basic principles of classical physics, and it can be said that the modern science of the entire earth is based on this set of weights and measures standards. To some extent, it can even be said that it is applicable in the universe.

Therefore, there is also the origin of the previous batch of strange tables. This is one of the steps in Zhang Quan's attempt to promote the Earth Weights and Measures program in a small and medium-sized area among the base mountain tribes.

First of all, by transplanting the standard system of the earth, from time, length to weight, and a series of standards, to the elite group of orcs in the wasteland, first establish a standard concept for these orcs step by step, and then through large-scale production activities and large-scale military training activities, first in the small collectives of minotaur craftsmen and cadres and officers, the basic concept of weights and measures is spread, after all, their work is closely related to these advanced knowledge.

Just like the bull-headed people, the acceptance of the Arabic numerals taught by Zhang Quan is quite fast, because it is indeed very convenient to learn mathematics through the Arabic numeral system, which makes them intuitively feel the convenience. It has made many concepts that were previously vague to orcs clear, such as the difference between a hundred and a thousand.

Officers, on the other hand, should also learn basic mathematics on the issue of command and management, such as how many of their subordinates there are, how many miles they can run in an hour, and so on.

As for the management cadres of the tribe, not to mention.

Then, when such a small group of people has learned well and adapted, it is hoped that the demonstrative effect of this small group of people can form a larger spread. This was Zhang Quan's plan to promote weights and measures in his tribe.

Otherwise, all the orcs have to forcibly inculcate such concepts one by one, and if you want to teach them hard, it will be too difficult and too difficult.

Zhang Quan himself is a person after all, and his ability is really limited. This is the only way to take advantage of the situation.

He didn't choose to forcibly promote the so-called advanced culture, it has always been a thankless job, those backward primitive tribes on the earth, even if the modern industrial system has spread to the world, people still entertain themselves, and have been living at their own rhythm and way?
