"Phew! What a send-off! ”

When he boarded, Xiao Ming's face turned green, and he raised his foot and kicked the servant's ass.

"Your Highness, the people from the Instrument Division are indeed talking about the bell." The servant looked aggrieved, Xiao Ming's strength was not small, and this kick made his butt hurt hotly.

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, since Li San went to the secret guard, there were no more clever servants in the palace, he said, "Let them come in." ”

The servant rubbed his ass and walked out, and after a while Chen Wenlong walked in, followed by two craftsmen, who were carrying a one-man high pendulum clock.

"Your Highness, we have sent this pendulum clock." Chen Wenlong said with a smile.

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

In 1657, the Dutch physicist and astronomer C. Huygens invented the pendulum clock using the principle of isochronoses of the pendulum, although it was more than 100 years later for Europe to produce the pendulum clock, but Xiao Ming believed that soon the pendulum industry in Qingzhou would surpass Europe, after all, he had handed over the design drawings of all kinds of pendulums to the Department of Instruments.

This pendulum clock was officially born, and the plan of the following equipment department was to break the pocket watch technology, once the pocket watch technology was mastered, the watchmaking industry in Qingzhou completely surpassed Europe.

Nowadays, Qingzhou has a complete range of lathes, and steam engines are also beginning to emerge, and he believes that the miniaturization of clocks and watches is not a big problem.

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

"Not bad, not bad."

Xiao Ming showed a rich smile on his face, at this time the pendulum clock is also known as the chiming clock, and every time the pendulum clock reaches a point, it will make a metal knocking sound.

The pendulum clock in front of him was set in a red wooden frame, in the center of which was a circular glass cover, in which the hour, minute, and second hands were turning, and at the bottom a spoon-like metal was oscillating back and forth, moving a second hand with each swing.

"Eleven:36:12."

Xiao Ming glanced at the readings above, now that this pendulum clock has come out, he is going to promote the timing standard, after all, this timing standard is relatively accurate.

Chen Longwen and other craftsmen learned the timing method of the pendulum clock, and the hours, minutes, and seconds were also memorized, and then he said: "Your Highness will be easy to grasp the hour after you have this thing, and there is no need to set up a special person to tell the time." ”

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

In fact, the craftsmanship of clocks has not changed much since its invention to modern times, and he remembers that when he was a child, a wealthy neighbor used a pendulum clock, and at that time he only felt that the pendulum clock was very high.

Now that a pendulum clock was in front of him, that familiar feeling returned.

"Can we produce on a large scale now?" Xiao Ming asked, the pendulum clock is absolutely high-tech in this era, and it is better to wait if you don't make a handful now.

Chen Wenlong said: "Your Highness, the principle that the Instrument Department adheres to now is to mass-produce the things that have been developed, so this clock is the same as firearms, we also produce spare parts first, and then assemble them. ”

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

"Yes, Your Highness." Chen Wenlong responded.

The two talked about the pendulum clock for a while, and Chen Wenlong took the craftsman back to discuss the affairs of the watch workshop, if the clock workshop was established, his various clock drawings would be put into the watch workshop, and the watch workshop would be responsible for the development from then on.

After Chen Wenlong left, Xiao Ming couldn't wait for someone to call Fei Yue'er over.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Fei Yue'er showed a confused look when she saw the pendulum clock for the first time.

Xiao Ming smiled proudly and told Fei Yue'er about the role of the pendulum.

"Can you keep track of time accurately?" Fei Yue'er shook her head, she smiled lightly: "Your Highness, don't tease the concubines, how can this thing record time, if it is a corona, it will be about the same." ”

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

Fei Yue'er still couldn't believe that this thing would be so magical, she said to Xiaohuan: "You go and call the beating guard over to ask, if it's true, our Highness will come up with something shocking again." ”

Xiaohuan's eyes had been staring at the strange thing of the pendulum clock, she nodded, and trotted to the palace lieutenant general to call the watchman.

After a while, the watchman was introduced to the main hall by Xiaohuan, and Fei Yue'er asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, it's the middle of the day." The beater said strangely that the sun is now overhead, and you can tell if you look up at the sun.

Xiao Ming glanced at the pendulum clock at this time and said, "To be precise, it's the middle of the day. ”

Generally speaking, the watchman only reports the specific time, and then he nodded in surprise and said, "Your Highness's clever plan, almost a moment has passed." ”

Fei Yue'er was shocked at this time, she also looked at the metal bars moving on the pendulum clock, which kept turning, and she asked, "Your Highness, how do you see the hour from this pendulum." ”

Xiao Ming waited for Fei Yue'er to ask this sentence, and the popularity of this timing had to start 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 magical thing was beyond her cognition, and she was once again shocked by the changes that were happening in Qingzhou all the time.

Knowing how to read the time, Fei Yue'er was like a naughty child, every time the pendulum clock rang once, she called the watchman to ask the time, and she finally had enough fun after four trips back and forth.

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

"Your Highness, this pendulum clock is so amazing, if this nobleman and businessman saw this kind of thing, they didn't know how crazy they would be?" Fei Yue'er said, she had to admit that even she was moved this time.

Xiao Ming always had a smile on his face, for him this is just the beginning, and the following will be the time for Qingzhou's various commodities to cover the Great Chongqing Kingdom, after all, it is time to earn back the money invested in these days.

He said: "The princess has said so, if this king does not use this pendulum clock to make a lot of money, he will be sorry for the craftsmen who worked hard to make the pendulum clock." ”

But now he thinks it's a little early, after all, this is the first pendulum, and it will take a few days for Chen Wenlong to organize craftsmen to produce pendulums, but he can't be idle during this time, he thinks that he can use this time to publicize the pendulum clock.

And now this pendulum clock is the real thing he promotes.
