Ji Kingdom will be a museum.

King Liu Bei of Ji came in person. He and Xia Fu, the commander of the Right Kingdom, were appointed as the commander of Su Bo, the commander of the Armory Su Yue, and a group of great craftsmen, and refer to the structural diagram of the "Water Armary Eye Chart" sent from the Lingtai of Luoyang.

When Liu Bei first came to Luoyang, he climbed up to overlook Luoyang City. Seeing many tall buildings under the night, the light shone brightly at night. At that time, he made up his mind to see the "miracle" in Luoyang City one by one. Especially the famous imperial observatory, Lingtai. However, the sky did not meet people's wishes. Time passed, and it has not been able to get what they wished. So Liu Bei submitted a letter and asked for many important mechanisms and instruments in Lingtai. The new emperor happily allowed it. He ordered the Lingtai officials to step up the sorting and send it to Ji Country in batches.

In the summer, the observatory was called Qingtai, Shang was called Shentai, and Zhou was renamed Lingtai. Luoyang Lingtai was surrounded by walls from east to west, with two doors in north and south. The central building in the wall was a square high platform, namely Lingtai. The platform was ten feet high, with two upper and lower platforms around it, and the platforms were connected by ramps. More than ten halls were built on the platform. The top of the Lingtai was a place to observe the sky, and there were official houses built around it. The Lingtai was huge in scale and fully functional. Zhang Heng and Zhang Pingzi designed and manufactured the "water amphibious celestial sphere" and "houfeng seismic sphere" here, and wrote "Armed Armpitable sphere Notes" and "Lingxian" and other immortal works.

The Lingtai in Luoyang was used to be used in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and was not abandoned until the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The armillary sphere has a long history and is not the first founded in the Han Dynasty.

Later generations of Jin Shu·Astronomy and Chronicles once described in detail: "The Book of Yu says: 'In the order of Ji Yuheng, Qi Qi Zheng.' "Kao Lingyao" says: 'The fault of calculating the weather is born on behalf of the weather, so as to make the prescriptions. The prescriptions are formed and ruled. When the time of the dark and bright master, he was sent to the star to observe the travel of the jade ritual.' Zheng Xuan said that jade is the armillary sphere.' "The Wenyao hook in the Spring and Autumn Period" says: 'When Tang Yao was in power, Xihe established the armillary sphere.' This is the setting of the rituals and images, and the background is far away. It is passed down from the Mian Dynasty, and historians and scholars do not see it, so it is Xuan, which is very exciting.

During the Taichu period of the Han Dynasty (During the Taichu period of Emperor Wu), Luo Xiahong, Xianyufanren, Geng Shouchang and others created rituals to test their status. Later, when he was in the reign of Emperor He, Jia Xuankui worked in the works and added zodiac.

By the time of Emperor Shun Emperor, Zhang Heng made Hunxiang again, with internal and external rules, the north and south poles, the yellow equator, and the twenty-four qi. The alien officials in the twenty-eight constellations and the five latitudes of the sun and the moon, turned into the hall with water leakage, and the stars appeared and corresponded to the sky. Because of its resilience, it turned into the "Ruihe Round Pod" at the bottom of the steps, following the moon's empty and fullness, and opened and fell according to the calendar."

In other words, the structural diagram of the "Water Armary Eye Chart" sent from the Lingtai of Luoyang was made by Zhang Pingzi, who collected the masterpieces of skilled craftsmen of all generations, and improved the art of the Ink Gate.

As shown in the figure, the main body of the water-moving image is to use a large hollow copper ball to show the celestial ball. The stars are placed on it, and half of the ball is hidden under the horizon, and the other half is exposed on the horizon, just like the sky that ordinary people see.

The water transports the muddy elephant, powered by the flowing water of the compensatory "bridged-drip pot" and using the isochronicity of the "bridged-drip pot" to automatically demonstrate the periodic movement of the celestial body through a set of gear transmission devices inside the muddy elephant.

Zhang Heng's first creation of the muddy water movement image was clearly recorded. It was the world's first astronomical instrument to use hydraulic power to drive operation. It was also the predecessor of modern astronomical instruments and could be called the first astronomical clock in human history. It was not until the 12th century that the mechanical timer with the same principle was introduced in Europe (this was the case with the great Han Dynasty. Any skill was used, and it was thousands of years ahead of the world).

In addition, Hunxiang also drives an additional mechanical calendar called "Rui Lun Pod". It can demonstrate the transition of dates in a new moon according to the gains and losses of the moon: imitate a strange tree in mythology, the characteristics of the pods are driven by flowing water. From the first day of each month, a leaf appears a day, and when the full moon is full (fifth), fifteen pieces are released, and then one piece is closed every day until the end of the month, and then the opening and closing cycles.

Pods are a legendary tree. From the first to the fifteenth day of the month, one pod is formed every day; from the sixteenth to the end of the month, one pod is set every day. This is repeated. From the number of pods, you can tell which day it is. Therefore, it is also called "Li Pods".

Inspired by this, Zhang Heng created the "Rui Round Pod". The internal mechanism: on a vertical shaft, install fifteen plates with cam function. Let them act fifteen pods in turn, and rise and fall according to the time.

This auspicious wheel pod is now placed next to the steps outside the armillary celestial hall. It is connected to the drip pot and uses flowing water to connect with the armillary celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial celestial

"Day and Night Turbine", day and night: the Ruilun pods rotate out a pod leaf every day from the beginning of each month, and a total of fifteen pieces are transferred out on the fifteenth day, and then another piece is transferred into each other every day, reducing in turn until the moon sets.

This set of precision combined mechanisms can not only represent dates, but also represent moon phases. That is, it can be opened and closed in the order of the new day, upper string, sun, lower string, and dark day in the lunar calendar. Let the historian of the Lingtai see the exact calendar from the Ruihe Pod alone.

Understanding the mechanical structure on the drawings clearly, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel excited and was extremely shocked.

In other words, the Ruilun pod can be called the "sun clock". The exact date of each month is just counting the leaves of the pod to know it.

However, Liu Bei, the King of Ji, was not satisfied with this: "Honor Xia, can he use this picture as a basis to create a 'time pod (clock)'?"

"I dare to ask the lord, what is the 'time pod'?" Xia Fu asked. Unexpectedly, if the lord sees something, he will gain something.

"That is... it can accurately indicate the twelve hours of the day." After a brief consideration, Liu Bei drew it on the board: "The drip pot is consistent with the twelve hours of a day, and it is not enough to accurately measure the twelve hours of a day. After a moment, it is subdivided into "minutes" and "seconds". Therefore, on the same "Ruhe Round Pod", the second pod (seconds), the second pod (minutes), the hour pod (quarters of a time), and the hour pod (clock). The water transport image can only represent the calendar pod, which can be accurate to "seconds".

"Hemang said 'second'." Xia Fu nodded happily: "The lord uses 'hemang' to show the shortness of time."

"That's right." Liu Bei said intimidly, "It's so dangerous." He was so dangerous that he was in trouble.

"I dare to ask my lord, what's the solution to 'dividing'?" Su Bo asked again.

"Finish, ten minutes at a moment." Liu Bei's inspiration appeared. Nowadays, one moment is ten minutes. "Finish, ten minutes" is one minute in later generations.

"So that's it." The good craftsmen suddenly woke up.

"What plan should I do if I'm fine,''second,'" Xia Fu asked again.

Liu Bei had already thought about it: "Another part is called 'seconds'." Minutes are down, and it is seconds.

"How many seconds?" Xia Fu asked three times.

"Let's see what manpower can do." Liu Bei did not give the answer. The implication is that according to the existing technical means, the number of seconds you can be divided into as many seconds as you can. It does not necessarily mean that sixty seconds are taken as one minute.

"I, please accept the order." Xia Fu then led the general to be a good craftsman in the museum and tried to create a new "Ruiheli pod".

By the way, Liu Bei was inspired by the "water amphibious meter" and drew his hand-drawn board, which was actually the first "escaper" in history. It is the core institution of clocks. Of course, even without Liu Bei's hand-drawn picture boards, the craftsmen who will work in the museum would make it themselves. The principles are all right, but it is just a matter of time.

Liu Bei wanted to return to the city on the bridge that passed through the building and build the first "water transportation timer" in history. The importance of precise timing is self-evident.

Waiting for creation.
