"This is a big gold watch, and the case can be replaced." When Zhu Wentian turned back with Zhu Xiongying in his arms, the lieutenant chief was introducing the floor clock to Zhu Yuanzhang, which was six feet high.

The front glass is surrounded by good wood that has not been carved, and the carving skills of the people in the village are not good enough.

Zhu Wentian can carve, but he is troublesome, so he directly gives it to Zhu Yuanzhang and asks Zhu Yuanzhang to find someone to carve by himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the navigation clock before, the navigation clock has high precision, he can't do this, it's big, it's impossible to seal it without entering.

Moreover, if his big pendulum clock is changed to other latitudes, it may not be accurate, and the gravitational acceleration is different.

If you want to be accurate, you have to change the pendulum of different lengths, if the clock made by Qiongzhou Mansion is taken to the Northern Parallel Province, it will be replaced with a long pendulum calculated according to latitude.

When the tourbillon is made, there is no need to adjust it, and now it has to be insisted on.

"Like the nautical clock, there are twelve squares in a circle, two revolutions are a day, and the minute hand is a quarter of an hour to go three times. That's good! There is no need for stoppage time, but there is a beginning of the hour. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang observed carefully.

Now there are 100 minutes of 12 hours a day, and 4:8 minutes of stoppage time.

Of course, it's just like that when you get used to it, everyone is like this, just like the method of cutting phonetic transcription, just learn it, and it's easy to cut.

At present, the day can be redefined as ninety-six quarters, and the minute hand travels three squares in one minute.

"Unengraved? Well...... In this way, the first big watch will keep the original yang, and the village will have to give us a navigation clock to use for other watches.

In addition to the big ones, are there any medium or small ones? It's best to be able to carry it in your hand.

Carry one away, you can see the time at any time, and the person who plays the watch had better give a punctual time, so that they don't have to always stare at the scale of the candle and the water leak. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang decided that this first one would not be carved with a pattern, which had symbolic meaning.

"Your Majesty, if you want to make a watch, you can design a device, for example, when it is two quarters of an hour, there is one strike in the clock, one time in the hour hand, and two times in the second hour.

A normal clock is given to the watchman, and then a county gives a navigation clock, in fact, the watchman will use the shadow of a stick to proofread the clock at noon.

The small one doesn't need to be carried, please look at this, this is a pocket watch, if you use a leather strap to put it on your wrist, it is called a watch.

Like a large watch, it needs to be wound every day, and then proofread, this watch can be used as a compass, facing the sun, yes, two methods, the first one, with the hour hand......"

The lieutenant first talked about the problem of beating people, and then took out a pocket watch and a watch, and demonstrated it to everyone while talking.

People around: "......"

"Your Majesty, in fact, someone in the dynasty before us made a good thing that can keep time and watch astronomy, it is called the Water Transport Instrument Elephant Table, that is, the Yuan Yu Armillary Sphere Elephant.

It's just that it was damaged later by the war, the Southern Song Dynasty couldn't make it, and the Yuan Dynasty didn't do it.

But if Your Majesty wants one, we can make it, which latitude is the same, it is the same as a pendulum clock, affected by gravity. ”

After explaining how to use a watch to guide the sun, he talked about another thing, the water transport instrument used by the escapement, which is more powerful than a normal clock.

Again: "......"

"You should be long...... Belch...... That's right, Su Song is a pedantic celestial, and there are more powerful than him.

If it's easy to make, make one and put it in ...... There is the market is the Dayuanxing Yongshou Palace of the previous dynasty, and everyone can go and see it.

Put it in other hidden places, such as Xuanwu Lake, or your village, and the people can't come.

The Southern Song Dynasty is not good, the Yuan Dynasty is not good, we are in the Ming Dynasty. Ay? Yichang, this thing is easy to imitate, isn't it? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang first listened to the long blow, praised the people, and then said that the village could be built, and the village was praised in a different direction.

Then he thought that if he didn't bother, he would build one for the people to see, it was a high platform, and it was quite big!

He pondered selling the clock to the Yiren again, and was worried that the Yiren would dismantle the clock and develop it.

"Your Majesty, you can sell them pocket watches, in some of the places that the previous dynasty has hit, and then over there, they already have a high level of technology.

Just give them the big clock, and they will see the escapement and the spring when they open it, and they can see the spring when they open the music box.

The industrial base of pocket watches and watch springs is not enough, and they can't be disassembled and assembled, so it is very difficult for us to build a small watch.

It's just that the price is estimated that they can't afford it, and how much does Your Majesty think such a watch that can know the time and determine the direction at any time at sea is worth? ”

The captain doesn't want to sell the big one, but in fact, the big one can't be made by others, and the spring steel is so easy to get?

If the Yiren buy a watch, they have to teach them how to divide the time zone, run to another time zone, and use the watch in the previous time zone to calibrate the time to judge the direction.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the grandfather clock, watch, and pocket watch in front of him steadily, considering the value.

"Father, at least 100,000 silver, otherwise we won't sell it." Zhu Fan gave a price, 100,000 yuan, 100 million yuan.

"Expensive, right? Can they afford it? Zhu Yuanzhang heard 100,000 taels of silver, looked at his watch again, and felt a little bullying.

"Father, it's not expensive." Zhu Biao spoke up: "Father, you want it!" This thing is not available to others, it is so big, it can see the time, and it can also see the direction, and they will buy it if they pool their money. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, there are not a few such watches, and it is too cumbersome to make, it is not as good as a clock, oh! Large table.

The village was only going to come up with ten pieces, and nothing more, unless they went outside and found a craftsman.

In that way, it requires highly skilled people, and the freedom of movement is restricted for a short period of time, and the main thing is to protect them, and if they can't say what they do, they will be kidnapped. ”

Don't you think it's expensive, isn't a pocket watch or watch worth 100 million wen expensive?

The annual trade volume is so high, 100,000 things, now only a few tenths.

Zhu Wentian nodded lightly beside him: "It's not expensive!" Well! ”

He knows that there are hundreds of millions of watches! It's just to get some diamonds and put them up.

Of course, the Yi people wanted to exchange other gemstones for watches, and they resolutely refused to change them, so they asked for precious metals, food, and medicinal materials.

Later, people can dig the gems and know the approximate location of the mine.

In the future, the team will be able to go out, and silver and gold can be found in places, such as nearby Japan, where silver has been mined, but no large ore veins have been found, and there will be no soot blowing.

I don't know how to occupy it at the moment, whether to fight it or fool the locals?

The location is better, next to the sea, more than ten miles away in a straight line.

There are many silver mines in Japan, and historical sources record that at its peak, Japan could produce hundreds of tons of silver a year.

If you give them technology, it will be tens of millions of taels of silver, and it will be good to use it as collateral for issuing currency.

"Hmmm! Not expensive. Zhu Xiongying followed in Zhu Wentian's arms.

"Yes, yes, it's not expensive, our good grandson said that if it's not expensive, it's not expensive, 100,000 taels of silver, find a craftsman, let's give a good craftsman 20 times a month."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard the little guy speak, he was in a good mood, so he set the price.
