In the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed.

Kaichi's grandfather clock is finally ready.

This is a "classic" style table clock in the shape of a bell tower, and of course the classic is for the earth. In the top attic there is a dial with three hands of hours, minutes and seconds, and the second hand rotates with the single swing of the bell tower, one left and one right, and a cycle is two seconds.

For Jiayi, this is just a pendulum clock with a simple function, which cannot tell the time on the hour, has no alarm clock function, and has no organs such as birds sticking out. He once watched the documentary "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City", in which the pendulum clocks are really varied, dazzling, not only beautifully made, but also all kinds of small mechanisms, and even can play music.

Jiayi this,There is only one function left to indicate the time.,Of course,It's also the most important function.。

However, although Jiayi felt that it was simple, for others, this was already a great invention, and it was the first time in this world that there was a clock with such an accuracy as timekeeping.

Now, Flower looked at the pendulum clock in the hall and exclaimed: "This clock does look much more convenient." But Jiayi, what if this bell is not allowed to leave?"

Since learning how to read a pendulum clock, Flower has been sitting here for a long time. He even took Jiayi's drawings and read them, and he also had a preliminary understanding of the principle, originally he and Dai'er also wanted to take apart the grandfather clock and take a closer look at the internal structure and the principle of operation.

But it was rejected by Kaichi, and it was hard to install it, and it would be bad if it was dismantled, or if it was forgotten which part of the gear was.

So if Flower has any questions, I can only ask Jiayi, the producer, and if the time of the pendulum clock is determined, it is also critical, if it is fast or slow, there is no news network here to give you the right time.

"This can only be done with a sundial. Kaichi said.

The sundial is based on the sun to judge the time, although the cloudy day is not used, and the direction needs to be adjusted by professionals, it is not convenient, but it is very accurate, because the time is divided according to the rise and fall of the sun, strictly speaking, the rotation cycle of the earth, in this different world, although Jiayi has not been able to determine whether the planet under his feet is not, but just take him.

Sundials have been used for a long time, and on Earth, it is claimed that there were sundials 6,000 years ago. I don't know how long it has been here, but almost once people have a sense of time, there are almost sundials.

A good sundial shows the position of the sun and the length of day and night, and even the solar terms and months, along with the time.

Flower pouted, "I asked a stupid question. "It's a stupid question, because there's no other standard time than a sundial.

"And how is your clock compared to Wickham City?" he asked again.

"What Wickham City bell?"

"A scholar built a mechanical clock in the tower of Wickham. "This kind of clock controls isochronism by a horizontal pendulum, but it is very inaccurate and bulky, and it is far worse than our pendulum clock." Their bell can't be placed without building a bell tower. ”

Kaichi also said: "And when I install the clockwork, this clock can still tell the time." We can even arrange a small magic array that can recharge itself without installing a clockwork, and we will never have to worry about power. ”

"Self-charging circles are not cheap, no matter what kind of circles they are, those that can self-charge are not cheap. Im said with a smile.

"People who are willing to spend money to buy a magic clock should not mind adding some money to upgrade, otherwise as a magic clock, they will have to change the magic crystal, how low. ”

I don't know why, when Jia Yi said this, he thought of the line in the big name, "Do you know what a successful person is? Successful people buy whatever they buy, they buy the most expensive and don't buy the best!", our slogan is, "Don't ask for the best but ask for the most expensive".

"What does low mean?"

Jia Yi accidentally brought out the words of the previous life, and Flower understood this meaning a little bit according to the context, but he couldn't help but ask.

"I mean that the style is low, how to reflect the advantages of the person who buys, it is better to add some sound and light effects, to the point to shine, and then spray something out, scare him to death, if it is at night, it is better to add a skull. ”

In order to change the topic, Kaichi began to ramble. But in fact, other people don't care much about this, Jia Yi will always say something that no one understands and thinks he is funny, everyone is used to it, but sometimes cooperate with him, haha twice, so as not to embarrass him too much.

On the other hand, Daile asked, "Then you haven't finished this yet?"

"Actually, the main body has been done, but the details still need to be modified, this is used like this when I replace the clockwork, and the next one I am going to design a magic array to provide power, and it can't be automatically charged in time, and only using magic stones is more durable than clockwork. ”

Men, the main thing is to last!

Jia Yi said silently in his heart.

"Na Jiayi, take one with me next time you do it, I'll give you a hand, can you give me one?"

They didn't do much to help with the pendulum clock this time, and she felt a little embarrassed to ask for a pendulum clock.

"Huh?" Jia Yi looked at Dai'er suspiciously, seeing what she said, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to ask for something.

Dale couldn't stand it and said, "It's going to be my mother's birthday soon, and I want to send her a bell." ”

Kaichi gasped, and the first thing that came to his mind was "Send the bell?", but he immediately came to his senses. When I was on earth, I didn't say that I would give a bell as a gift, because the bell and the final homonym would be beaten, but this world didn't have this homonym because of language problems, so there was no such taboo.

In the Western countries of the earth, there is a custom of giving clocks and watches, believing that this can show the preciousness of time. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the ancestors were still quite generous, people from the West often used pendulum clocks as gifts to the emperor, and the emperors also liked it very much.

And then the Ming and Qing dynasties were all cold...

After thinking about it, Jia Yi directly agreed, but then said, "You can give it to you next, but you have to prepare the materials, and you have to find a skilled carpenter to make the shell of this clock." ”

"Of course, I'll do it right away. When Daile heard this, she immediately went back to the town and went to find a carpenter for Jiayi.

Jia Yi couldn't help but cover his forehead, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait, do you want to take the carpenter over? ”

"Ah, okay. Dai Er smiled embarrassedly, and then became proud, "Our family is a lord, and the best carpenter in the town is our family's full-time carpenter, absolutely reliable." ”

Kaichi shook his head, took back the drawings he had given to Flor, and began to design how to replace the hammer in the pendulum clock with a clockwork.
