Chapter 535: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

"Looking at the posture of the lady, don't you want to know the role of this mechanical clock?"

Ying Feiyu sat down on the chair without slowing down, and shook Erlang's legs rhythmically.

"You ......"

Seeing that he still didn't change his words, Wang raised his little hand angrily and wanted to throw it at him.

But when I think about it, every time I do it, I don't hurt this kid in the slightest.

There are still so many people today, isn't it a joke?

Besides, looking at this kid's posture, as long as she does it, this kid is not ready to tell her what this beautiful thing is for!

It's not a good deal to think about it!

"Alright, alright! This girl will spare you once today! Go ahead! What the hell is this for? ”

Wang Wan tilted her little head and opened her mouth proudly.

From time to time, he peeked at Ying Feiyu a few times, wanting to see his attitude!

"Poof......

Looking at her unyielding and curious energy, Ying Feiyu was amused.

"What are you laughing at, kid? If you don't say it, forget it, hum! ”

Wang Wan thought that this kid was deliberately teasing her, and she was about to leave in a huff.

"If the lady is gone, you won't be able to see the magic of this mechanical clock!"

Ying Feiyu was not in a hurry, and opened her mouth slowly.

Sure enough, when she heard the words magic, Wang Wan's footsteps immediately stopped!

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head, "Who said this girl was leaving?" This girl just wants to introduce you to a few excellent reporters of the newspaper, and they are also war correspondents selected by this girl to go out with the army! ”

"War correspondents? How? This time the lady is not with the army in person? ”

Ying Feiyu covered her mouth and snickered.

If he remembered correctly, before that, as long as she went on the expedition, the little girl was noisily going to go together.

How did you change your personality this time?

"Humph! This girl wants to join the army in person, but the newspaper is now going to open branches in Loulan, Wusun, Yueshi and other counties, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things, even if this girl can't finish sleeping day and night, how can she have time to be a war correspondent? ”

Wang Wan was in a hurry and quickly found an excuse.

But Ying Feiyu found that her eyes were erratic, obviously lying!

"Lady, don't be stubborn, I used to be a war correspondent, was it because Prince Ben was the boss?"

"No, you don't have to be sentimental!"

"Lady, you just admit it, there's nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Humph! No, no, this girl says no, no! ”

"Good, good, good!"

Ying Feiyu didn't bother to fight with her, whether it was or not, he also knew it in his heart.

"Alright, little short-legged, tell us what the hell this thing is, right?"

In order to avoid Ying Feiyu from continuing to ask, Wang Wan quickly changed the topic.

At the same time, she is also really curious about what this strange thing does!

"This is called a mechanical clock, and it's used for timekeeping!"

Ying Feiyu gave a brief introduction.

"Timing? Isn't that the same as missing an engraving? ”

Hearing this, Wang Wan was immediately disappointed.

The god was mysterious for a long time, and I thought it had a big effect, but it turned out to be just a matter of time!

"No, no, no! The difference between the two is huge......! ”

Ying Feiyu stretched out a finger and shook it back and forth, "This mechanical clock can not only keep time, but also tell the time!" ”

"Chime? How to report? Could it be that it can still talk? ”

Wang Wan sneered, disbelief written on her face.

Even the reporters who came with her shook their heads secretly.

For them, it's just a timekeeping tool, how can it still tell the time?

"I can't speak, but when the time comes, it will make a sound......!"

After speaking, Ying Feiyu pointed to the disc on the mechanical clock and patiently explained to them, "This is called the hour hand, and one turn is the current half an hour, and this is called the minute hand......"

After an explanation, everyone blinked as if they didn't understand.

After Ying Feiyu came to Daqin, he gradually popularized Arabic numerals, which were accepted by most people in Daqin and widely used!

So they can understand the numbers above.

But I don't know much about what the hour and minute hands are.

Although Huang Yuan didn't understand it for a while, he could feel that this mechanical clock would definitely overturn the existing timekeeping tools!

Because of this thing, it can accurately record the time, which is much more accurate than the previous missing carving!

"According to what you said, these needle-like things should be moving, right? But why are they still motionless now? ”

The little girl tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't really understand Ying Feiyu's words.

But she discovered this major problem!

"Haha! If you want them to turn, isn't it a matter of minutes? ”

Ying Feiyu smiled, found the key from a small box next to him, and wound the mechanical clock.

Watching him twist in circles and squeaks at the same time, it seemed to be very interesting, Wang Wan was suddenly curious, "Let me try!" ”

"No problem, I'll teach you!"

Ying Feiyu held Wang Wan's little hand and twisted the key round and round.

I didn't notice at all that the two of them were in an extremely affectionate posture now!

It wasn't until the end of the clockwork that the little girl reacted, quickly pulled out her little hand, and ran to the side shyly!

There's no way, you can't scold others this time, after all, you took the initiative to try!

After Ying Feiyu dialed the hands to the correct time, the clock slowly moved!

"Wow! It moved, and the needle on it actually moved! ”

"That's amazing, isn't it?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful!"

"When I go back, I must write a special article for this mechanical clock, which is amazing!"

"Yes, this thing must be popular in the entire Great Qin ......!"

Seeing that the pointer on it would move on its own, everyone present immediately exclaimed.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, these hands can be turned, but because of those gears inside?"

This mechanical clock was made by Huang Yuan, and some ways can still be seen.

"Well, that's right!"

Ying Feiyu nodded affirmatively.

Since the generator set and power plant are still being manufactured, even if Ying Feiyu wants to build an electronic clock, it is not allowed.

That's why we built this mechanical clock, using gears to make the hands work!

"Ding-dong...... Dingdong ......"

Just when everyone was shocked by the mechanical clock, a crisp sound came into their ears.

"This is the hour chiming, it's ten o'clock in the morning, which is now three o'clock!"

After striking the mechanical clock a full ten times, the sound stopped.

"This ...... Does this thing really tell the time? ”

Wang Wan was so shocked that her mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg.

"Of course! As long as you wind the mechanical clock, it will make a sound on the hour, and if you pay close attention to these sounds, you will know exactly what time it is! ”

Ying Feiyu introduced it arrogantly.

This kind of mechanical clock was only researched and manufactured more than a thousand years later.

He took it out now, of course, in shock!

That's the benefit of standing on the shoulders of giants!
