The Ministry of Industry Shangshu walked over excitedly.

Li Xingchen said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Look, put the clock like this..."

Li Xingchen told the general principle of clock machinery to the Ministry of Industry.

Gongbu Shangshu listened very carefully, extremely excited, and his blood boiled, as if a finished clock had been placed in front of him.

The prime minister and others looked at each other, so hidden?

Also, it's better to keep technical things secret before they are manufactured.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the minister will be able to do it immediately." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu trembled slightly, wanting to demonstrate it on the spot.

Li Xingchen smiled, "Okay, go and prepare, I will give you a chance to perform." ”

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Xingchen knows too well how powerful the level of craftsmen is.

Although I don't believe that the other party has a complete performance at one time, it is also good to see it with your own eyes and let everyone take a look at the first version of the clock.

"Your Honor." The Ministry of Shoshu immediately went to the tool room, brought a bunch of instruments, and began to make clocks and watches.

After learning part of the Luban organ, the level of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu improved a lot, and under the attention of a large number of people, he quickly made a circular frame.

But the framework is not the point, the core is the operation of the equipment inside.

Similarly, Li Xingchen gave key guidance on the side.

After two hours of cooperation, the first timepiece was finally manufactured.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Ministry of Industry Shangshu said excitedly.

Li Xingchen didn't speak, picked up the clock as big as a leather ball, his heart trembled, and he wanted to cry.

It has been many years since he crossed over to Dawei, and he can finally connect with later generations in time.

Li Xingchen shouted excitedly, "Okay, good! Not bad! The order was sent down, and in the highest place in the capital, huge clocks were hung on all sides, so that every citizen could see the time when he looked up. ”

Seeing that Li Xingchen was so excited, everyone also gathered around, watching the pointer slowly turn, and began to compare with their own breathing, which was indeed very close, almost one second of breathing, and sixty breaths in one minute. ”

"Do you still want to object now? If not, it will be set up at major intersections along with traffic lights, and the color change will be calculated by time. Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, his gaze swept towards everyone.

It is also a symbolic question, whether they agree or not, the matter is inevitable.

Unless someone can come up with a better opinion, Li Xingchen will learn from his experience, so let's step aside.

"The ministers have no opinion."

Everyone is excited at the moment, where will there be opinions?

What's more, Li Xingchen went from being expelled from the royal family to sitting on the throne, during this period, every time he invented something very beneficial to the people, and it played a huge role, it was subversive.

At the beginning, they didn't understand a lot of things, and they stopped them, but they were all slapped in the face. Where do you dare to stop it now?

The traffic light thing was arranged like this.

Li Xingchen turned his head to look at the Ministry of Works, "When will it be completely settled?" ”

"Within a few days." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said without thinking.

Once the technology is available, the next step is to make traffic lights, set them up at intersections, and they will be completed very quickly.

"Not more than three days." Li Xingchen nodded, "I still have to check whether the clock will fail, if there is no problem, it will be released together with the traffic light in three days and installed at various intersections." ”

"Yes."

After the meeting ended, everyone left, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu led a group of instructors back to the research room and began to test the clock.

Later, Li Xingchen ordered Lin Datian to count the number of intersections and provide them to the Ministry of Industry so that the number of traffic lights could be planned.

Soon, three days passed.

In the past three days, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu led everyone to work overtime and various manufacturing and installation.

Just like in later generations, traffic lights were installed on both sides of the intersection, and clocks were also hung aside for the people to watch the time.

On this day, the sky slowly brightened, and the city gate had not yet opened, and the people who were rushing to the market were already lined up outside the city gate.

There were several queues, but in the middle was the lane for the goods, and no one would be in line.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise, "What's that?" ”

The crowd followed his finger and saw a huge round piece of iron hanging from it, and the needle was still moving.

"W-what is this?"

"It's so weird, it's going to move on its own."

There was a lot of talking.

Some people had the answer in their hearts, but they were not sure, so they asked the soldiers who were defending the city what they were.

The soldiers defending the city received an order, and someone asked about it to explain, so they were not as impatient as before, but said with a serious face:

"It's called a clock, and it represents twelve hours of time, for a total of twenty-four hours."

"Why do clocks need three hands? Why don't the other two move? ”

It's okay not to explain, but I don't understand it even more when I explain it.

"The second hand that moves again is called the second hand, one suck for one second, and the second long needle after sixty sucks is called the minute hand, which will move one grid, and so on. After the minute hand has completed one revolution, the hour hand moves forward one stop. ”

"Then we don't have to look at the weather and tell the time in the future."

"Oh my God, that's amazing, didn't you, Your Majesty invented it?"

"Nonsense, it must have been invented by His Majesty! Who else in the world could be so smart? ”

"Your Majesty is really the true Son of the Dragon, and he must have been sent by Heaven to the mortal world to spread favors."

The people were talking.

Many people don't understand, but more people find it useful, especially for business, and they know that it is a sharp weapon when they see it.

A businessman stepped forward and asked, "Lord, where are the clocks and watches sold?" ”

"I don't know if it's for sale, you can ask after you enter the city."

Soon, the city gate opened, and the people who rushed to the market entered the capital in an orderly manner.

Today's capital has clearly changed a lot.

Cyclists, horseback riders, and walkers were all amazed, and every time they arrived at the intersection, they could see strange traffic lights, and there were soldiers guarding them, handing out leaflets while popularizing science.

"Everyone, don't rush to the aisle, listen, stop at the red light in the future, go at the green light, if you rush forward when you should stop, you will be fined if you catch it."

Soon, the people learned about the role of the traffic light.

After a while, the heated discussion in the capital rose again, and they were all singing praises to Li Xingchen.

"Your Majesty is too awesome, this kind of transportation system has come up with it, this is the work of governing the world!"

"After having the traffic light, people and vehicles in all directions will not be jammed together, and there will be no congestion, although it will be a long wait of 60 breaths, it will indeed greatly improve the safety rate."

"The fact that Great Wei can win His Majesty is the faith of the people of Great Wei."

"The life of the people will be better and better, and there will be more and more hope for life. In the future, who dared to rebel and plot to rebel, Lao Tzu was the first to cut him with a firewood knife. ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The people were excited, looking up to the sky and shouting, admiring Li Xingchen more and more, and even felt that nothing could stump Li Xingchen, only Li Xingchen was worthy of being their emperor and their monarch.
