"Bah! What a delivery!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ming's face turned green, and he raised his foot to the servant's ass.

"His Royal Highness, the person from the Department of Equipment is really talking about Zhong." The servant looked aggrieved, and Xiao Ming's strength was not weak, and this foot made his **** sore.

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

The servant rubbed his hips and walked out. After a while, Chen Wenlong walked in. Behind him were two craftsmen, who were carrying a pendulum clock that was tall one by one.

"His Royal Highness, we sent this pendulum clock." Chen Wenlong said with a smile.

Seeing this ancient style of pendulum clock, Xiao Ming's mood suddenly became happy. For him, this is not just a pendulum clock, but it means that Qingzhou's industrial system has improved again.

In 1657, the Dutch physicist and astronomer c. Huygens invented the pendulum clock using the principle of isochronism of the pendulum. Although the pendulum clock was produced more than a hundred years later in Europe, Xiao Ming believed that it would soon Qingzhou's pendulum industry will surpass Europe, after all, he has already handed over the design drawings of various pendulums to the Department of Instruments.

This pendulum clock was officially born. The next plan of the Department of Instruments is to break through the pocket watch technology. Once the pocket watch technology is mastered, the watchmaking industry in Qingzhou will completely surpass Europe.

Now Qingzhou has a complete variety of lathes, and steam engines are beginning to show up. He believes that the miniaturization of watches is not a big problem.

After all, sometimes it's not that the industrial capacity is not enough, but just a lack of an idea.

"Not bad."

There was a deep smile on Xiao Ming's face. At this time, the pendulum clock was also called the ringing bell, and every time the pendulum clock made a metal tapping sound.

The pendulum clock in front of him is inlaid in a red wooden frame. In the middle of the wooden frame is a circular glass cover. Inside, the hour, minute, and second hands are rotating. At the bottom, a metal spoon-like metal is swinging back and forth. The second hand moves every time it swings. Will walk one grid.

"Eleven thirty six minutes and twelve seconds."

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

Chen Longwen and many other craftsmen have understood the timing method of the pendulum clock. The hour, minute, and second are also kept in mind. At this time, he said: "After your Highness has this thing, the hour will be easy to grasp, and there is no need to set it up specifically. It's time for someone to report."

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

In fact, the craftsmanship of clocks and watches has basically not changed much since it was invented to modern times. He remembers that his wealthy neighbors used pendulum clocks when he was a child. At that time, he only felt that the pendulum clock was very tall.

Now that a pendulum clock was in front of him, this familiar feeling came back.

"Can it be produced on a large scale now?" Xiao Ming asked. Pendulum clocks are absolutely high-tech in this era, so when you don't make a profit now, wait.

Chen Wenlong said: "His Royal Highness, the principle that the Equipment Department now adheres to is to mass-produce the things developed, so this clock is the same as the firearms. We also first produce parts and then assemble them."

Xiao Ming nodded, "Well, your progress is very fast, so let's plan to build a watch shop immediately and train a group of watchmakers."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chen Wenlong answered.

The two talked about the pendulum clock for a while. Chen Wenlong took the craftsman back to talk about the clock and watch shop. If this clock and watch shop is established, his various clock drawings will be put into the clock and watch shop, and the clock and watch shop will be responsible for the development from then on .

After Chen Wenlong left, Xiao Ming couldn't help calling Fei Yue'er over.

"His Royal Highness, what is this?" Fei Yueer looked confused when she first saw the pendulum clock.

Xiao Ming smiled triumphantly, and told Fei Yueer the function of the pendulum.

"Can accurately record the time?" Fei Yueer shook her head, and she smiled gently: "His Royal Highness, don't tease the concubines. How does this thing record time? If it is a corona, it will be the same."

"This is much more accurate than the corona," Xiao Ming said. "If you don't believe the princess, you can ask the guard to come over and ask."

Fei Yue'er still couldn't believe that this thing was so magical. She said to Xiaohuan: "Go and call the watchman to ask. If it is true, our Highness can come up with something shocking."

Xiaohuan's eyes kept staring at the strange thing, the pendulum clock, and she nodded, trotting to the palace and called the police officer.

After a while, the caller was introduced to the main hall by Xiaohuan. Fei Yueer asked, "What time is it now?"

"Hui Niangniang, it's Sunzhong now." Da Gengren said strangely. Now the sun is above his head. You can know it by looking up at the sun.

Xiao Ming glanced at the pendulum clock at this time and said, "To be precise, it's the moment in Japan."

Generally speaking, the person who called the watchman only reported the specific time. At this time, he nodded in surprise, and said, "His majesty is a good calculation, almost a moment has passed."

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

Xiao Ming waited for Fei Yue'er to ask this sentence. The popularity of timekeeping started from the palace, so he told Fei Yue'er the principle of the pendulum clock and how to see the time.

Fei Yue'er's big eyes blinked, this kind of magical thing was beyond her cognition, and she was once again shocked by the changes happening in Qingzhou all the time.

Knowing how to look at the time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Fei Yue'er is like a urchin. Whenever the pendulum clock rings, she calls the watchdog to ask the time, and after four rounds, she finally has enough.

Xiaohuan also joined in the fun, and the two circled the pendulum clock back and forth.

"His Royal Highness, this pendulum clock is amazing. If these nobles and merchants see this kind of thing, they don't know how crazy they will be?" Fei Yueer said, she had to admit that even she was moved this time.

Xiao Ming always had a smile on his face. For him, this was just the beginning. The following will be the time for Qingzhou's various commodities to cover the country of Da Yu. After all, it is time to make money back after preparing for these days.

He said: "The princess said so. If this king does not use this pendulum clock to make a lot of money, I am sorry for the craftsman who worked hard to make the pendulum clock."

But now he thinks it’s still a bit early. After all, this is the first pendulum. It will take some time for Chen Wenlong to organize the craftsmen to produce the pendulum. It’s just that he can’t be idle during this time. He thinks that he can use this time to publicize. pendulum clock.

And now this pendulum clock is what he promoted.
