Chapter 692: A Sign of Civilization Progress

"But you see, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you can't know each other, otherwise I wouldn't know you so well, wouldn't I?" Li Ke said.

Eldest Sun Chong: "......"

You're right, but the question is that the two of us seem to have known each other since childhood?

"Let's go, I'm going to the guest house." The eldest grandson waved his hand and said, there is naturally an inn in this Pingkang Fang, which is for these men who linger in the Qinglou at night.

"I'll look for you later, I'm a good talker, besides, the contradictions between me and my uncle are not so deep, and we are more of a political disagreement." Li Ke spoke again.

"Got it." Changsun Chong didn't say much, and just flashed.

Waiting for the eldest grandson to leave, Li Ke smiled and turned around to leave, there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, everyone just knows what's going on.

When Li Ke returned to a shopping mall here, Helian Liuli, who also returned to his room, had changed the clothes on his body, although it was late, but she had not yet fallen asleep, and the words of His Royal Highness King Qin today gave her a great touch.

Or that His Royal Highness King Qin is the one who knows what they want, they just want to ...... Just live the life of an ordinary person.

It seems to be very simple, but it's not simple, with their appearance, even if they redeem themselves, after living outside, there will inevitably be countless people harassing them, and living in this green building...... On the contrary, a lot of harassment can be avoided.

After all, there is still the owner in this green building, and the increasing number of newcomers in it has also shared a lot of Helian Liuli's firepower.

This world is so weird, sometimes it looks like a fire pit, but it protects you.

Looking at the book "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the table, after hesitating for a moment, Helian Liuli picked it up.

When I opened the book, a line of text came into view: At the end of the Eight Kings Rebellion, during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Central Plains was devastated, and the people were struggling to make a living. If the country has no foundation, the demon will be born. In various parts of the people, many demons and ghosts were born.

Helian Liuli was somewhat attracted at the beginning, there were still very few novels in the early Tang Dynasty, even in the original history, the development of novels in the Tang Dynasty had reached the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and it began to gradually prosper after the cost of paper continued to decline.

At a time when paper was expensive, most readers used it to study or write poetry, and it was naturally impossible to write something as fiction.

Now, although Li Ke has lowered the price of paper, the development of culture takes time to precipitate.

And even if people in this era write novels, they mostly use history as the theme and add their own creations.

Like this kind of strange novels, it is still a blank in Datang.

It's just that what Helian Ruri doesn't know is that she has opened up a whole new world.

On the second day, Li Ke got up early, and then went to the outside of Chang'an City, because the new finished products in the industrial zone have been made, the scale of the industrial zone has expanded a lot, and more and more factories are being built.

There have been quite a few times in the style of the factory in the fifty or sixty years of the later generations, and the structure of reinforced concrete, red bricks and steel frames has formed some large-scale factories.

However, some other factories have been relocated in the southwest direction near Chang'an, where a large steel plant is ready to be built, and subsequent ironmaking and other factories will be transferred here, mainly because some follow-up large-scale casting has some ideas, so ironmaking and steelmaking are not simply ironmaking and steelmaking, and will definitely be integrated with forging at that time.

Avoid re-melting steel, secondary waste and the like, in this era, it is still very material-intensive to burn coke, but fortunately, the waste products from burning coke can also be used to make fuel for the people to spend the winter, otherwise it will be wasted.

In the industrial zone, a brand new factory stands here, and there is a plaque hanging at the door of the factory: Datang Royal Watch Factory.

That's right, Li Ke is here to see the clock today, the pendulum clock he needs has been made, in fact, the difficulty of the pendulum clock is not high, it is nothing more than made of clockwork, escapement mechanism and Unicom pendulum, etc., it is not difficult to make after understanding the principle, not to mention that Li Ke has a complete mechanical structure here.

In fact, the clock was made about three months ago, but since it was made, these craftsmen have been calculating and testing the length of the pendulum, the effect of the tightness of the mainspring on the timekeeping, and then accurately calculating the time through traditional corona and other aspects.

And the process of this calculation, which lasted nearly four months, is now finally close to perfection.

It can be said that before the invention of electricity, the mechanical pendulum clock would be the most accurate timekeeper, and even after the invention of electricity, the pendulum clock would become an accurate timekeeper, and at most the time the pendulum would be changed from the force provided by the mainspring to the pendulum provided by electricity.

It is not comparable to the accuracy of the electronic clock and the atomic clock of the future, but for this era, it is already a timekeeping machine ahead of its time, and most importantly, it can accurately time to the second.

Precise timing has a very important impact on industrial activities, which means that many productions are scaled up and processed.

When Li Ke entered the factory, he immediately heard the crisp and unique "ticking sound".

Listening to this familiar voice, to be honest, at this moment, Li Ke had an urge to burst into tears, that is, without this unique experience, it is difficult to feel the impulse brought by the sound of the clock turning, which is also a major sign of civilization progress, and make reasonable use of time.

"Chen Li Fu has seen His Highness." A craftsman about forty years old came over and saluted Li Ke.

"Excuse me, you are in charge of the watch factory now?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.

"It's Your Highness, the minister is ashamed, after His Highness gave the production drawings and principles, we still spent so long." Li Fu said with some shame.

Li Ke looked at him and sighed with emotion, this Li Fu Li Ke knew it, when he was selected to be in charge of this matter, it was jointly recommended by Liu Chang and Lu Daqiang, Li Fu was born in the common people, but the ancestors can indeed be said to be a family of craftsmen, and there are nine generations of craftsmen in the family.

Mainly carpenters and blacksmiths, although the status of craftsmen in the past dynasties seems not to be high, but following some gate valve families also have some income, so Li Fu has been literate since he was a child, but he does not read much.

But Li Fu is very smart, because of the influence of his family, so he is good at research since he was a child, he is very good at carpentry and casting, especially some wooden structures and other aspects are very talented.

This is also the reason why Liu Chang and Lu Daqiang recommended him at the beginning.
