Chapter 510

PS: just after the new year, there are a lot of things. Today, after a busy day, things are almost done, and the project is basically over. Snail will have plenty of time to make up for it tomorrow. If this book can maintain its achievements, snail will also consider full-time work and have more time to update.

"Bah! What's the end of it

At that time, Xiao Ming's face turned green. He raised his foot to the servant's butt.

"Your Highness, it's really the clock that the equipment department is talking about." The servant's face is aggrieved, Xiao Ming's strength is not small, this foot makes his butt hot pain.

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly. Since Li San went to the secret guard, there are no smart servants in the palace. He said, "let them in."

The servant kneaded his ass and went out. After a while, Chen Wenlong came in, followed by two craftsmen, who were carrying a one person high pendulum clock.

"Here we are, your highness." Chen Wenlong said with a smile.

At the sight of the ancient pendulum clock, Xiao Ming's mood suddenly brightened. For him, it was not only a pendulum clock, but also meant that the industrial system of Qingzhou was making progress again.

In 1657, Dutch physicist and astronomer C. Huygens invented the pendulum clock based on the isochronous principle of pendulum. Although it was more than 100 years late for Europe to produce the pendulum clock, Xiao Ming believed that the pendulum industry in Qingzhou would soon surpass Europe. After all, he had handed over the design drawings of all kinds of pendulum to the Department of instruments.

The pendulum clock was officially born. The next plan of the equipment department is to break through the pocket watch technology. Once the pocket watch technology is mastered, the watch making industry in Qingzhou will completely surpass that in Europe.

Today, Qingzhou has a complete range of lathes and steam engines. He believes that the miniaturization of clocks and watches is not a big problem.

After all, sometimes it's not the lack of industrial capacity, it's just the lack of an idea.

"Good, good."

Xiao Ming has a strong smile on his face. At this time, the pendulum clock is also known as the bell. At each point, the pendulum clock will make the sound of metal knocking.

The pendulum clock in front of him is inlaid in a red wooden frame. In the middle of the wooden frame is a round glass cover, in which the hour hand, minute hand and second hand are rotating. At the bottom, a spoon like metal is swinging back and forth, and the second hand will move one space each time.

"Eleven thirty-six minutes and twelve seconds."

Xiao Ming glanced at the reading above. Now that the pendulum clock is out, he will promote the timing standard. After all, the timing standard is relatively accurate.

Chen Longwen and other craftsmen knew the timing method of the pendulum clock. They kept in mind the hours, minutes and seconds. At this time, he said, "Your Highness, when you have this thing, it's easy to master the time, and you don't need to set up a special person to report the time."

"At that time, of course, not only that, but also the working hours in the future can be strictly required." Xiao Ming circled the pendulum clock.

In fact, the technology of the clock has not changed much since it was invented. He remembers that when he was a child, his rich neighbor used a pendulum clock. At that time, he only felt that the pendulum clock was very tall.

Now a pendulum clock was in front of him, and the familiar feeling came back.

"Can scale production now?" Xiao Ming asked, pendulum clocks are absolutely high-tech in this era. When can we wait while we don't make a profit now.

Chen Wenlong said: "Your Highness, now the principle of the equipment department is to mass produce the developed things, so like guns, we first produce spare parts and then assemble them."

Xiao Ming nodded, "well, your progress is very fast. Let's prepare to build a watch shop and train a group of watchmakers."

"Yes, your highness." Chen Wenlong answered.

They talked about setting clocks for a while. Chen Wenlong took the craftsmen back to talk about the clock shop. If the clock shop was established, his various clock drawings would be put into the clock shop, and the clock shop would be responsible for the development.

After Chen Wenlong leaves, Xiao Ming can't wait for someone to call Fei yue'er over.

"What is this, your highness?" Fei yue'er looks puzzled when he first sees the pendulum clock.

Xiao Ming smiles triumphantly and tells Fei Yue er the function of the pendulum.

"Can you record time accurately?" Fei Yue Er shook his head, she said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't tease me. How can this thing record the time? If it's the corona, it's almost the same."

"It's much more accurate than the corona." Xiao Ming said, "if you don't believe the princess, you can ask the watchman to come and ask."

Fei yue'er still can't believe that this thing will be so magical. She said to Xiao Huan, "go and ask the watchman. If it's true, our Highness has made something shocking."

Xiaohuan's eyes have been staring at the strange thing of pendulum clock. She nodded and trotted to the palace to call the watchman.

After a while, the watchman was led into the main hall by Xiaohuan. Fei yue'er asked, "what time is it now?"

"Back to Niang Niang, it's Japan China now." The watchman said strangely that now the sun is overhead. If you look up at the sun, you can know.Xiao Ming then glanced at the clock and said, "to be exact, it's a quarter of the sun."

Generally speaking, the watchman only reported the specific time. At this time, he nodded in surprise and said, "Your Highness has a brilliant plan. Almost a moment has passed."

Fei yue'er was shocked. She also looked at the moving metal bars on the pendulum clock. These metal bars kept turning. She asked, "Your Highness, how do you know the time from the pendulum?"

Xiao Ming was waiting for Fei yue'er to ask this question. The popularity of timing started from the palace, so he told Fei yue'er the principle of pendulum clock and how to look at time.

Fei yue'er's big eyes blinked. This kind of magical thing was beyond her cognition. She was shocked again by the changes that happened all the time in Qingzhou.

Knowing how to look at the time, Fei yue'er is like a naughty child. Whenever the pendulum clock rings once, she calls the watchman to ask the time. After four rounds, she finally has enough time.

Small ring is also to join in the fun, two people around the pendulum clock to and fro.

"Your Highness, this pendulum clock is amazing. How can the nobles and merchants be crazy if they see this kind of thing?" Fei yue'er said that she had to admit that even she was moved this time.

Xiao Ming always has a smile on his face. For him, this is just the beginning. The following will be the time for all kinds of goods in Qingzhou to cover Dayu. After all, it's time to earn back the money after preparing these days.

He said: "the princess has said so. If I don't use this pendulum clock to make a lot of money, I'm sorry for the craftsman who worked hard to make it."

However, it's still a little early. After all, this is the first pendulum. It will take some time for Chen Wenlong to organize craftsmen to produce the pendulum, but he can't be idle at this time. He thinks that he can use this time to publicize the pendulum.

Now this pendulum clock is the object of his propaganda.
