"Little Dorjee, you go and drag him, I'll be here right away!" Tashi hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up and ran outside the house.

Seeing this, Uncle Dong also stood up: "Let's go, let's go and see!" ”

When everyone arrived with Xiao Duoji, a middle-aged man was leading a group of foreigners to look around the big stone that Xiao Duoji said, and Uncle Dong looked at it, this is not a sundial!

"Wang Er Mazi! What are you doing! Tashi ran over, pushed Wang Er Mazi, and stood in front of the sundial, "Go back, we won't sell this thing!" ”

He Tao wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by Brother Dong and said to see what the situation was first.

In the confrontation between Tashi and Wang Er Mazi, everyone also understood what happened:

It turned out that a foreign boss took a fancy to this sundial a few years ago and wanted to buy it for a lot of money, and the people in the village didn't know what this thing was for, but it had been placed there all the time, and they had seen it since childhood. But by coincidence, Tashi came back from work that day and resolutely disagreed to sell it after seeing it.

Tashi, the only university student in the village, said that this thing could not be sold, so everyone felt that it should not be sold, and then he thought that he had watched this thing here since he was a child, and for so many years, he said that he would not be able to sell it if he had no feelings. Anyway, everyone has been in the village like this for decades, and they don't know how to spend so much money.

But this Wang Er Mazi has always been a rag-skinned scoundrel, when his parents were alive, he relied on his parents to give him food, and now his parents are gone, and they are messing around in the village, and the east family eats a meal and the west family begs for a bite. When I heard that people were willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy it, my eyes bloomed with smiles, and I couldn't wait to make a deal immediately.

This was originally their own business, and Uncle Dong shouldn't care about it. But Bai Ye glanced at the sundial, the bell on his body vibrated a little, Bai Ye felt something strange, and felt that this sundial had a great mystery, Dong Ge and He Chaoqun directly took out their work cards in the museum and intervened in this matter.

"Sir, we are the archaeological team from the province This sundial is the historical heritage of our country and cannot be sold to foreigners." Brother Dong showed the documents in his hand, and the faces of the foreigners were full of embarrassment. It's that this Wang Er Mazi is not happy.

"You said you said that you are from the province, right? If you don't let me sell it, then I'll starve to death, and you don't care? "Wang Er Mazi lay directly on the ground and brushed it up to break the skin of a scoundrel." Hundreds of thousands! With this money, not only me, but the whole village will benefit! ”

Good guy, this voice is directly sublimated, and his personal interests have risen to the whole village, and now he has taken advantage of it!

In fact, there are people in the village who want to make a lot of money from this sundial, but they don't have the courage of Wang Er Mazi, and after Wang Er Mazi is sublimated, those who have long wanted to sell will join in!

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Mo Tianya, who had been standing aside without speaking, spoke: "I bought this thing!" As much as they give, I give double! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet, and Wang Er Mazi jumped up directly from the ground: "What did you say?" ”

Mo Tianya's face was expressionless, and he repeated what he had just said: "I'll buy it, and I'll give it twice!" ”

These words made Wang Er Mazi very happy: "Really? When to give money? ”

"Tomorrow at noon."

"Good!"

In this way, a farce was easily quelled by the wealthy Mo Tianya.

On the way back, everyone was very angry, this Wang Er Mazi was really unreasonable! However, I was also worried about what Mo Tianya said, after all, it was far from enough for the money on the few of them!

Bai Ye couldn't help but speak: "Tianya, do you really have so much money?" More than 10 million! ”

"Nope." Mo Tianya is also true, he really doesn't have so much money on him.

At this time, He Tao was directly dumbfounded: "Ouch, my young master, what are you boasting about Haikou if you don't have money?" How do you clean it up now? ”

"My dad has." Good guy, it's an amazing word, if you don't fight for your dad this year, you'll die?

"Brother Dong, what is a sundial? Why do you all value this thing so much? Although the matter was temporarily calmed down, Bai Ye still didn't understand why everyone was grabbing this thing.

Dong Ge began the encyclopedia again: "Sundial, the original meaning refers to the shadow of the sun. The modern "sundial" refers to a kind of timekeeping instrument that used the shadow of the sun to measure the time in ancient times, also known as the "daily rule". The principle is to use the direction of the sun's projection to determine and divide the time, which usually consists of a dial hand (watch) and a dial (a dial base). The method of using sundials to keep time is a major invention in the field of astronomical timekeeping, which has been used by mankind for thousands of years. ”

After hearing this, Bai Ye suddenly realized: "That's the case! The ancients were really wise and harmful, but unfortunately I am uneducated and don't know anything, so how do you look at time? ”

He Chaoqun grabbed ahead of Brother Dong this time and spoke: "Haha, Xiao Ye, you are very good at martial arts, and you are also a reckless man!" After this mission is completed, I'll give you a culture supplement after I go back, and the working principle of this sundial is actually very simple:

During the course of the day, the shadows cast by the objects illuminated by the sun are constantly changing: the first is that the length of the shadow is changing. The shadow is longest in the morning, and as time goes on, the shadow becomes shorter, and after noon it becomes longer again; The second is that the direction of the shadow is changing. North of the Tropic of Cancer, the morning shadow is in the west, the noon shadow is in the north, and the evening shadow is in the east. In principle, it is possible to time according to the length or direction of the shadow, but it is more convenient to time according to the direction of the shadow. Therefore, it is usually timed in the direction of the shadow. [1] Over time, the shadow on the sundial slowly moved from west to east. The shadow of the moving dial hand resembles the hands of a modern clock, and the dial face is the surface of the clock, which shows the time. In the morning, the shadow is cast near the hour at the western end of the plate; When the Sun reaches its highest position due south (Upper Midheaven), the shadow of the needle is located due north (below), indicating the time of noon in the local area. In the afternoon, the sun moves westward, and the shadow of the sun slants eastward, pointing to the hours of Wei, Shen, and You. ”

Bai Ye scratched his head embarrassedly: "So that's the case, then Brother Tashi also knows the role of the sundial and the historical value behind it, so he didn't let the villagers sell it, right?" ”

Tashi nodded: "Well, it's because I know that I want to do my best to protect our country's cultural heritage, these are valuable historical materials to be left to our descendants to study and appreciate!" It must not be ruined! ”

Everyone chatted and chatted, and suddenly began to be full of a sense of responsibility and mission, and suddenly, He Tao broke this atmosphere with a sentence: "Tianya, have you called your father to ask for money?" ”
