Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

On the clock at this time, one of the long thin hands is turning at the fastest speed among the three hands.

But even so, its movement speed is still very slow.

The long needle, which is thicker than it, points steadily to the seal character "卯".

As for the thick needle with a shorter length, it pointed to the position of the second scale between the seal character "Si" and the number "11".

After looking at it carefully, Lao Zhao couldn't help but walk to the front of the clock and ponder it carefully.

Wang Ben and others are not the masters who can sit still, and the three of them also followed behind Lao Zhao's buttocks.

"Hey...how should this clock tell the time, it's both the hour and the number." Wang Ben rubbed his head with a bitter face.

Although I have long heard of the usefulness of this clock.

But it was the first time for them to see the real thing that Da Qin made by himself.

Seeing some doubts on everyone's faces, Su Yu explained, "Did you see these two needles?"

"The long and thin one is called the engraved needle, and each turn represents the passing of time. 99

"The short and thick one is called the sun needle, and each turn represents the passing of one day.

"As for the one in the middle, it's called the hour hand, and each turn means that an hour has passed."

Su Yu tapped the dial: "In this watch, to see the time, look at the direction of the sun hand, just like now, the sun hand points to the position of the two smallest scales behind the hour."

"This is the second hour.

"As for the division of those numbers, there must be some shadows of my world clock. Su Yu guessed.

Some are smart people.

After Su Yu explained it once, he immediately understood how this watch can tell the time.

"It turns out that this clock is really convenient!"

"Not bad, even if it's cloudy now, the time doesn't have to be guessed."

"With this clock, the calculation of time in the future can be more accurate. 99

Hearing the heavy duty sigh, Su Yu felt a little indifferent in his heart.

In the eyes of a modern person like him, this time division is indeed in line with Da Qin's usage habits.

But with the growth of technology in the future, and the requirement for time accuracy increases.

This smallest scale represents a modern fifteen-minute clock, which is somewhat tasteless.

In the end, it is necessary to develop towards more precise units.

But Su Yu didn't say much.

Such a concept of time, since the pre-Qin Dynasty or even the Zhou Dynasty, did not know that Da Qin had used it for hundreds of years.

Let them change it all at once, it will be somewhat uncomfortable.

Things like this that don't matter, let them develop on their own.

Then, Su Yu turned the clock in his hand and showed the back.

What catches everyone's eyes is a sophisticated and complex mechanical structure.

Gears of different sizes are rotating at different speeds.

Various shapes of mechanical structures are cleverly combined.

Combined with the various colored gemstones inlaid in the center of the gear, the charm of the mechanical structure is vividly displayed through the glass mirror.

"."pretty!"

Lao Zhao gave a sincere compliment, and then exhorted: "Su Yu, you help me send this clock back to Xianyang tomorrow, and you must take good care of this clock."

Su Yu nodded: "Don't worry, wrap it on me.

(Qian Zhao Zhao)

Of course he knew that this clock, as the first mechanical clock made by Daqin, had great commemorative value.

In addition, it has been carefully designed by Daqin craftsmen, and its appearance is not low.

Not to mention the collectible value.

If it wasn't for the sight of Lao Zhao, Su Yu would have thought about keeping it in his home.

It is estimated that after hundreds of years and thousands of years have passed, this clock will definitely be worth a fortune.

Well, of course, he wasn't any money-poor man either.

For this clock, he just likes it.
