Chapter 369

Qin Murong opened his mouth and looked at the hourglass.

To be honest On the surface, this thing seems to be normal.

But Qin Murong, who is good at handwork, thinks it's really amazing!

It's a work of art.

How to make the hourglass in the process of shaking, the velocity is the same?

This not only takes into account the relationship between the holes, but also the size of the sand, and the overall design of the interior. Even the carving process is not only hard-working or expert.

The person who can do this is a genius!

However, looking at the copper fittings on the hourglass, he knew that it had a history of at least several decades, and the person who made it should have died long ago. It was really a pity.

If such talents join in their own camp and throw them into the Qin chamber of Commerce to engage in crafts, the overall level of science and technology can go further!

Yes, this is not an exaggeration. This thing can really be called a treasure.

Qin Murong, as a person with the memory of his previous life, often saw this kind of hourglass in his previous life. However, in fact, the hourglass is more "modern" and uses glass and some molds. These two items alone are not what the world can have.

So this is a crystal carving. Without Qin Murong's emery technology, the crystal is polished as transparent as glass by hand with a whole piece of diamond, and the shape and tiny holes inside are exquisite. What kind of technology and mechanical means are used for the details?

With the disappearance of the producer, this may become a permanent secret, and it is almost impossible to crack, because to crack it, you need to destroy the hourglass. If you break it, you can see that the design is far away, and if you break the crystal, you can't guarantee that it won't hurt its core.

There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of grains of sand here, which can not be touched by hand, but they are all of the same size, weight and shape How is this done?!

If it is not the same, there is no guarantee that every time the flow is finished is an hour, and there is no guarantee that the same time can be maintained in the vibration.

As we all know, to put things into the funnel, to make it flow faster, just gently shake the funnel.

Or direct force to throw, use centrifugal force to increase the weight of gravel, make it flow faster

So how is it done? Qin Murong thought for a long time and didn't understand.

It's even a kind of clever design that can transcend previous lives.

Treasure? Absolutely a treasure!

Therefore, Qin Murong wants to give up. This treasure is the acme of design and craftsmanship. It is really a legendary thing, not the "small things" in Qin Murong's hands.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Xiaobai came out of the carriage with a box in his hand, and then said in a loud voice, "young master, we also have something for timing. Last time, the moving object carefully carved by young master himself was used for timing, isn't it? No worse than him

Qin Murong blinked blankly, then remembered a little toy he had made.

At that time, it was because of a kind of metal "failed to quench" sent by local artillery ammunition from Fengjian villa. Qin Murong wanted to see what this metal was and what it was used for.

It is a product of making the long sword elastic to the extreme. The people of Fengjian villa don't know whether they are doing it right or not.

As a result It's a spring.

It's a piece of spring steel, which has a certain degree of elasticity. If it is made into a very thin sheet, it will become the ordinary spring Qin Murong saw in his previous life.

Now the suspension used in the carriage is made of that material.

But in fact, when Qin Murong got the spring steel, he first thought of two kinds of objects.

One is a metal crossbow and the other is a watch.

Watch technology is the most important of two things, one is extremely good wear-resistant and will not rust steel, this thing is completely in line with the refined iron, and exceed the standard.

All that's left is the spring and the oscillator.

Qin Murong had some hobbies in his previous life. Like other rich people, he also pursued watches. Compared with famous cars, watches seem to have more style.

Because I visited a large factory, I learned the most basic knowledge from the master watchmaker.

This thing, which can be complicated without limit, is almost always the symbol of the highest product of single mechanical civilization. But at the same time, its basic principle is relatively simple.

For example, a mechanical watch is only divided into several simple parts. One is to store energy. It's best to use a spiral spring. Then, if the energy is to be released slightly, it involves an oscillator. How the power is transmitted to the watch needle requires a series of transmission gears and escapement speed regulator. The so-called escapement speed regulation sounds very complicated, but it's actually very complicated It is a patterned gear with a claw on it. The claw is lifted on the left side, and the patterned gear moves one tooth forward. The next tooth hits the claw on the right side, and then stops. The claw moves. The left side catches the next tooth, and the right side looses and moves forward.In this way, the gears move forward one by one, and the time of this "one meal" is set at one second. Through the variable speed gear, it becomes an angular distance of one sixth of a circle, so as to achieve the effect of one step forward of the second hand on the dial.

And then a few speed gears form a gear group, respectively, to drive the minute hand, you can make the whole dial move.

It's easy to say. If you want to do it, it's really exquisite!

Qin Murong wanted to try his craft at that time. After all, he had a hand-made box on his body. He thought that as long as he wanted to come up with something, he could really realize it with various tools.

And this kind of tabulation is completely regarded by Qin Murong as "practicing hands" to improve his skills.

So it took him a long time and a lot of leisure time to make one.

Then I found that this thing is really useless except for practicing!

Because when people all over the world don't have to time, it's useless for you to time accurately. What is the standard time? Watch the corona during the day and listen to the watchman at night.

When the watchman bangs the gong and drum, even if you know exactly that it's two ten in the morning, it's meaningless.

In short.

Even if a "standard" is advanced and accurate, it is meaningless when it is not recognized by consensus. It is not only time, but also many things.

Through this incident, Qin Murong also wanted to understand another truth, why his ideas and world outlook had little effect even if they were spread out. On the contrary, some things he had done became the rules of the Qin family chamber of Commerce, and then became the rules observed by many people, even if that rule was wrong.

Consensus!

Sometimes better than accuracy than precision It's much more important.

It can even be said that Qin Murong chose to leave Daliang city instead of putting all his eggs in one basket because of "consensus".

When you don't have the qualification to be king, even if you have this power, you can't climb to that position and sit there.

Also want to understand why LV Wenhou doomed to failure.

Why does it take nearly a hundred years for the three countries to stabilize.

This "watch", the size of an egg, has not become a useful tool, but has become an object to hone skills. There is also a teacher who taught Qin Murong the truth of "consensus".

So I took it with me all the time and left it in the carriage at random.

Qin Murong didn't pay attention to this kind of craftsmanship, even if it was shocking to the world and even had a chance to change the world.

Only Xiaobai regarded it as a treasure, and then was sacrificed in today's show off of wealth.

Qin Murong was stunned for a long time, then rubbed his brow, but said: "reluctantly It can be regarded as an object, but it's not as precious as the hourglass of this young master. It's not a treasure. "

Qin Murong is not modest.

In terms of craftsmanship, Qin Murong's craftsmanship is not as good as that of the hourglass maker.

In terms of design, the principles and concepts of all the parts of the watch are not as simple as the seemingly small passage through which gravel can flow.

The other side is "the road to perfection", while his own is mechanical wisdom.

But when Xiaobai opened the box, took out the watch that Qin Murong thought was rough, put it on his hand with a strap made of three layers of horse breech leather that had been tanned for a year, and opened the cover to reveal the flat spherical crystal inside, revealing all kinds of gears and oscillators that were rotating inside

Childe brother is all muddled, stare big eyes, stupidly looking at, the whole person is crazy.
