The bell tower attracted the attention of many people from the very beginning of its construction, because the tent was erected on the perimeter of the construction site, blocking people's view, which successfully aroused people's curiosity and speculation about what was built inside.

As the bell tower gets higher and higher, the tents outside are getting higher and higher, and at the same time, people's curiosity is getting heavier, and many people stop outside every day to watch.

"Good guy, it's too high! I'm afraid the tent is not more than twenty meters, twice as high as the city wall!"

"Yes, what is being built here, if it is higher and higher, it will catch up with the high-rise building of the main hall of the palace!"

Finally, on June 20th, the second prince personally brought him to cut the ribbon, the white curtain was removed, and the bell tower was presented in front of everyone.

The bell tower is circular, twenty-three meters high, and the top is square, with a dial on each side from which the hour and minute hands are suspended.

"What kind of building is this, it's so strange!" came to the mind of everyone who saw it.

"This is the bell tower, which is used to tell the time, and it uses a new timekeeping method, and the people can determine the ......time through this bell tower in the future," the second prince roughly explained and led the people away, leaving only a few guards of the bell tower.

Although it was far from the lively and sensational scene that the people expected, there were still many people who stood at a distance and studied it.

In the first few days, the bell tower did not have much of an impact, after all, people have long been accustomed to hourglass timekeeping. But slowly it's different, the hourglass doesn't have anything to carry with you, and this bell tower is so convenient, such a tall building, as long as the distance is not very far, you can see it almost as soon as you look up.

Gradually, people realized the convenience and practicality of the bell tower. More and more people are getting used to the 24-hour timekeeping. Even at home you can know what time it is, because every hour the clock tower rings the bell. Knock a few times at what time it is.

In the days that followed, the bell tower and the new way of keeping time became more and more influential. People found that the new way of keeping time was not only convenient but also accurate, and many merchants around the bell tower began to listen to the bell to open their doors, and people in the vicinity also listened to the bell to go out to work.

As the influence of the clock tower grows, many families feel that the hourglass is becoming more and more inconvenient. In particular, those who are far away from the clock tower often lose time when dealing with those who are close to the clock tower.

The new method of timekeeping was gradually accepted by the people, and the Li family was lively because they had a clock in their house, and the way of timekeeping was the same as that of the clock tower.

Many nobles came to visit. Under the slogan of talking about business, I actually want to see what the clock looks like and at the same time inquire about how the clock is sold.

Li Da Fat Man smiled from ear to ear every day, and the pride in his heart was mentioned, the entire imperial capital had a clock in his hand, and it hadn't cost a copper plate yet, it was given by Lord Jiang! He felt that his decision in the Star Collar was wise, and at that time, he had to buy a clock by himself, and as a result, Lord Jiang gave one.

Don't look at it as just a timekeeping clock. But he can fully reflect his status, and the heads of those big families are polite when they talk to themselves, and they used to be businessmen, let alone face the heads of big families. Even if the children of the big family have their nostrils turned upward, they don't need to look at themselves.

But now, they all have to come and talk to themselves. When they were competing for student places in the previous period, the performance of those big nobles was even more sycophantic than now.

Looking at the people who came to see the clock, they were surprised after hearing that this was a gift from Jiang Xingchen. The big fat man can fly into the sky proudly, and this kind of refreshment is comparable to enjoying food......

Meanwhile. The atmosphere in the Imperial Palace was a little depressing, and the Emperor was not thinking about the clock. It's the Fang family, although it is the side of the old forces, but they have been honest since they returned to obedience, but they didn't expect to dare to steal the steel factory this time.

The most infuriating thing is that the important people of the Fang family actually ran away in advance, and they have not been able to find it. Obviously, he had a different heart for a long time and was ready to retreat.

"Haven't you found it yet?" the Emperor asked an old man in black who had lowered his hand, he had been looking for many days since the main members of the Fang family disappeared.

"Still no, I can't find any clues!" the old man in black shook his head.

"Hmm!" the emperor sighed helplessly, feeling a little depressed in his heart. Jiang Xingchen suddenly returned, and all the forces immediately died down, and he also withdrew people from the Moon Shadow Kingdom. Unexpectedly, as soon as he gave the order, he received a letter from Jiang Xingchen, which clearly pointed out the Fang family's crime, not only blowing up the railway, but also sneaking into the steel mill to steal.

"Isn't this causing trouble for me?" The Emperor angrily sent someone to the Fang family, only to find that the Fang family had fled.

"Search, keep looking, so many people from the Fang family have fled, it is impossible that there are no clues!" the emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the old man in black replied, and disappeared in the hall in a flash.

A moment after the old man in black left, the Great Emperor smashed the teacup in his hand with a snap, he had controlled the empire for so many years, and there was still such an existence as the Fang family, which made him wonder how many families with different intentions there were below.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" the beautiful princess came in through the side door and approached.

"It's okay!" the Emperor waved his hand in annoyance and stepped out of the palace gate. The imperial concubine watched his back quietly from behind, her eyes glinting......

There has never been a shortage of business-minded people in the imperial capital, and seeing the influence of the bell tower gradually expanding, even if he doesn't know that the Li family has clocks, he can judge that Xingchen Ling must have a brand-new timekeeping device. Therefore, many commercial houses want to seize this business opportunity and rush to Xingchenling.

At this time, the news of Jiang Xingchen's return with Mei'er had spread. Compared with the two events in the Qiankun Imperial Capital, it was obvious that Jiang Xingchen's return would have a greater impact. The most embodied thing is the Moon Shadow Kingdom, and the envoys sent by various countries immediately shrank back, for fear of being caught by Jiang Xingchen.

A few days later, a letter was sent to the Moon Shadow Palace, which was written by Jiang Xingchen to the Moon Shadow Emperor, thanking him for his reminder and protection of Ren Xia, saying that he would be grateful in the future.

The Moon Shadow Emperor was happy, although he offended many forces this time, he eased his relationship with Jiang Xingchen. The thought of more than twenty high-level flying demon beasts falling from the sky made his scalp tense. Fortunately, I seized the opportunity this time, otherwise a bomb would have fallen from the sky at some point......

The emperors of the Great Qin Kingdom finally breathed a sigh of relief. The sudden shutdown of the railway that had cooperated with Jiang Xingchen before scared them, and then Mei'er's departure made them even more worried. They were too close to Xingchen, and if something happened to Jiang Xingchen, they would be the most affected.

Now that Jiang Xingchen has finally returned safely, the emperors of the two kingdoms laughed out loud after receiving the news, and immediately sent people to the Land of the Damned and Xingchen to continue to discuss the railway of cooperation......

In the next few days, the bell towers of the main cities of the Qiankun Empire were completed one after another, and the new timekeeping method had a greater and wider impact. Its convenience and intuitiveness are being accepted by more and more people.

Xingchen Ling, Grandpa Fu smiled with a smile on his face: "I thought it would take half a year and a year, but I didn't expect the effect of the bell tower to be so good!"

Jiang Xingchen smiled, this was what he had expected a long time ago. In fact, people's ability to accept and learn new things is quite strong. I remember that in his previous life, some scientists gave tablets to children in backward areas, and some of the children there had never even seen a TV, but they could unlock the computer lock, find the game, and operate it proficiently within a few days.

"I have asked Xian Ning to study the shape of the clock, mainly to reduce the volume, and after a while, it can be processed and produced!"

"What is the estimated price?" asked Grandpa Fu.

"It's not too expensive, but it's not too cheap either!" The workmanship of the clock is not complicated, but the materials are very expensive, the best wood, the best metal, and the glass, you must know that the glass is now fired with yuanshi, which is also the reason why the price of glass remains high.

"I'll figure out the pricing when I go back!" After Grandpa Fu left, Jiang Xingchen stretched his waist and saw that the time was almost eleven o'clock, and Mei'er hadn't come back yet.

"Hey, this girl!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head helplessly, and after coming back to rest for a day, Mei'er rushed into the city hall, and came back early before twelve o'clock every night, and left again before seven o'clock in the morning.

Sitting on the chair and waiting for Mei'er to come back, Jiang Xingchen studied the Yuan Qi Fusion Array.

He had also studied the use of the new formation when he was using his free time before, but he found that there seemed to be no other use for it except for being able to atomize it when gathering vitality.

Not only that, but the progress of this formation is also quite slow. He had already absorbed the Yuan Crystal of the Poison Dragon Turtle, but the formation only spread to his forehead, which was slower than a snail crawling.

In this case, he didn't dare to take the Seagod Essence, for fear that it would not work at all and would be wasted.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether he could drain the surrounding heaven and earth vitality to develop the formation. But he found that only the Material Exploration Array could have that effect, and the Yuan Qi Fusion Array was useless at all.

"It's really strange, it seems that the Yuan Qi Fusion Array has no effect on the Material Exploration Array!" Jiang Xingchen sighed lightly, and after groping for a long time, it was still the same, except for gathering Yuan Qi, there was nothing special about it.

It was already the end of June, and Jiang Xingchen had been sitting in the house for a long time, feeling a little hot. After turning on the fan and blowing it for a while, it didn't work, so he walked out of the door and prepared to take a shower.

As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw the kitchen door open, and two small figures crept out.

"Huh, Xiaomei Xiaoyu, why are you going to the kitchen when you don't sleep so late?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"Ah, sir, we ...... Nothing!" the two little girls shook their heads and wiped their mouths, unable to speak clearly.

Jiang Xingchen laughed, these two girls are really interesting, the little cheeks are still bulging, so I don't know how to swallow what I eat before coming out.

"Two snacks, eating too much is not good for the body, especially at this time...... Look at you guys, you're all fatter than when you first came, and you're quite chubby in the future?"

Jiang Xingchen smiled and poked the bulging cheeks of the two little girls, and then turned around and walked towards the bath. But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his eyes were black, and two exclamations sounded in his ears! )
