The first year, called the "Continental Calendar", has nothing to do with any country or race, and is based on the year in which the largest meteor shower in history fell on the continent. Therefore, this continental calendar is also called "falling ephemeris".

However, although there is now an internationally accepted continental calendar, many countries still retain their original calendars, such as the Han Empire and the Elven Empire. Just like the East Asian countries and India on Earth today, two calendars are used at the same time......

When Rusya introduced the knowledge of the calendar to Su Xue, she also took out a delicate timekeeping instrument.

This thing looks like a pocket watch, and it is about the same size, only about 8 centimeters in diameter. The shell is made of silver alloy, and there are many intricate patterns and patterns carved on it, and these images are similar in style to Ruthya's other items, and are supposed to be the work of elves.

But this instrument does more than just keep time. On the lid is a compass, and when opened, there is a round surface made of crystal, and inside it is a structure similar to that of a clock. The dial appears to be silver, with 12 scales and three hands of varying lengths and thicknesses in the middle......

Well, there is such a thing as a pocket watch in the other world, although it makes Su Xue more curious, but it is nothing, there is such a thing as a pocket watch, the earth has had it in the 18th century, nothing unusual.

But to Su Ze's surprise, the scales inside were indeed using Chinese characters. That's right, it's the twelve earthly branches such as "Zi Chou Yin Mao", and the direction of 1 point is "Zi", and then clockwise and so on.

Well, that's not all.

On the dial, in addition to the function of displaying the hours, minutes, and seconds, there are also three small squares, and their function is to display the year, month, and day! To display the year, month, and day at the same time on a mechanical watch, this must be the level of craftsmanship of the 20th century. What's more, it also has a vibrating time signal, and yes, it can also be used as an alarm clock.

And what makes Su Ze feel most embarrassed is that this thing doesn't need to be wound up, it is an automatic watch! According to Rusya, after this "automatic pocket watch" is full of power, it can walk for more than half a month if it is left there without moving.

Su Ze took this pocket watch and looked at it again and again, and couldn't help asking: "Rusya, this item called [Pei Sun] is really an invention of my Han Dynasty?"

The "sundial" in the word "sundial" obviously comes from "sundial". The word "pei" should indicate that this kind of thing was probably hung on the waist or neck at the earliest, like a jade pendant. Well, that's the good thing about words in Chinese, if it's not for those words that are pretentious, as long as you take them literally, you can understand them.

"Exactly, I remember that it was invented by the Zhang family in Shennan County, and it has been more than 300 years......" Rusya nodded and continued to introduce: "...... The old-fashioned [Pei Sun] used to be very large, probably this big......" Rusya used her hand to make a circle larger than a baked cake.

According to Rusya, on the current continent, this kind of [sundial] is not only a timekeeping tool, but also a kind of ornament to show status. The more expensive the material, the more gorgeous the workmanship, the smaller the size, and the more functions, the more valuable it is...... It is said that a few years ago, the prince of the Elf Empire got married, and among the congratulatory gifts sent by the Han Empire, there was a priceless superb [Pei Sun].

Dizzy, isn't this the same as playing with a mobile phone on the other side of the earth? The smaller it is, the more valuable it is, and this is not a purple clay pot! The more the Su family listens to it, the more embarrassed they become.

Rusya's own piece of [Pei Sun] is just a popular type produced by a joint venture between Dahan and Elves, and it can only be regarded as a medium grade. But just such a piece also costs 60 gold coins. The more advanced goods, at least a few hundred gold coins, are too expensive, and Rusya's class does not dare to ask about them at all.

It is said that the division of labor of this joint venture is that the Dahan side is responsible for the movement and transports it, and the elf side makes the case, accessories and exterior decorations, and after assembling it, it is sold locally or exported to a third country.

"I really can't imagine that the big Han enterprises here are also playing with technological expansion......" Su Ze played with this watch, and sighed a little in his heart.

Grasp the core technology by yourself, and then send some unimportant and low-tech parts to downstream subcontractors. Isn't this exactly what the high-end companies of the earth are playing right now?

After seeing this piece of [Pei Sun], Su Xue was a little confused about the existing technical system of the Han Empire. Such delicate machines are only civilian versions of the common type, so to what extent should military technology go?

Although Su Ze really wanted to know more, he was afraid that his identity would be revealed, so he didn't want to ask too much now.

After all, Su Ze pretended to be "a student of a reclusive master", not a wild man in the mountains. No matter how isolated you are, you can't even know these most basic things.

..............................................................................

However, Su Ze had already planned the next step.

That is, to use Ruthya's mission to blend into the society here.

He put down the [Pei Sun], took out a few scrolls from his backpack, opened them in front of the elf girl, and said with a smile: "Rusya, you see...... Is this the map you need for your mission?"

Rusya hurriedly took it, and just after a few glances, she couldn't help but say excitedly: "Su Jun, this is really the map of the land of the green sea......! How could you have it?"

"Hehe, this is the ...... my teacher left me" Su Xue smiled and continued to flicker.

"Su Jun, can you lend me a copy of this map?" I ......" Rusya originally wanted to say that she would pay Su Ze, but after thinking about it, Su Xue was so generous, I am afraid that he was not bad for money.

Su Ze said lightly: "It's nothing, if it's useful to you, I'll give it to you." I still have one, and it's useless to have more. ”

"Thank you so much!......" Rusya wanted to get up and thank her, but she pulled the wound and sat down with a pale face.

Su Ze immediately went over to check her injuries, and when she saw that there was no major problem, she sat back and continued: "Hehehe, you don't have to be excited, I still need your help......

"Please, as long as I can help, I won't refuse......" Rusya hugged the map tightly in her arms.

“...... Well, that's right. You see, I've just been kicked out by the teacher to go through the training, but I'm not familiar with the outside world at all, and I don't have any credentials. And I heard you say, this place is far away from my big man. So I'd like to ask you to be my guide and help me find a place to stay in the neighboring little town......"

Su Ze immediately moved out the rhetoric that had been prepared for a long time. His purpose is also very simple, that is, to integrate into the local society as soon as possible and learn more about the world.

Rusya thought for a moment and said, "...... There is no problem with this at all, our two countries are allies, you can settle in our country first. If you don't mind, you can go to my hometown first, where I can find you a place to live......" She paused and said, "...... With this map, you can earn contribution points in your country, and in this way, you can also buy land in your country...... If you have enough points, you can even be knighted, and your country will recognize this title. ”

"Oh, that's great! Of course, I'll wait until your body recovers......" Su Ze was overjoyed.

However, after listening to Rusya's introduction, Su Xue was still a little puzzled.

"Damn, is the relationship between the allies here so good? What is the relationship between the Han Empire and these elves......?
