Chapter 334 Clocks

The first time I ate this kind of barbecue, several girls felt a little novel.

Especially Li Suji, I feel that this way of barbecue is unfamiliar with a little familiarity.

But this way of eating meat is too luxurious. The people in their hometown Baekje can eat some salted fish at most and eat meat. How could they eat meat in such a big mouthful?

As for Dazhu and the others, they like this kind of barbecue method, but they think the amount is too small and not enough for them to eat.

After dinner, Su Xiaoxue wanted to leave, but Wu Yeshuang grabbed her and said something.

"I'll take you to see what Liu Mingqi has made!"

Just one sentence aroused Su Xiaoxue's curiosity and involuntarily followed Wu Yeshuang into Liu Mingqi's laboratory.

The Yu Palace is actually not big, much smaller than the former Prince De Palace.

But after all, there is not a large population here, and the owner has only three so far, so Liu Mingqi can occupy several yards.

He changed both of them to laboratories.

The first one is the famous sulfonamide powder laboratory, which was chaired by Doctor Zhou Yu.

Another is where Liu Mingqi invents and creates her own way.

Now the two girls are coming to Liu Mingqi's laboratory.

There are several rooms in this laboratory, and Wu Yeshuang took Su Xiaoxue into the room with the lights on.

When he knocked in the door, Su Xiaoxue saw Liu Mingqi, who had left before, wearing a strange thing, holding a small pliers and fiddling with something.

When I walked in, I found that Liu Mingqi was full of steel objects of all sizes.

Some look a bit big, but most are relatively small, but absolutely not rough.

But I felt that there was no pattern at all, as if I was taking these things randomly on the table.

Seeing Liu Mingqi doing things attentively, Su Xiaoxue asked Wu Yeshuang in a low voice, "What are he doing?"

“He said he wanted to make a clock.”

"clock?"

"right!"

"Is it something like the time it leaks?"

"Hey, Xiaoxue, you are so smart! This clock is a clock that allows people to accurately view the time."

While speaking, Wu Yeshuang took a stack of drafts on a table next to her and handed them to her.

Su Xiaoxue was a little excited, her jade hands trembled slightly, and she took the draft paper.

As soon as she opened her eyes, her eyes were a little inseparable.

The first artwork is a very finely painted bell. It is the kind of bell that is placed on the ground with wood as a frame.

The most conspicuous thing is a disk above, with numbers 1 to 12 marked on the disk.

The second picture is the disc alone, which is drawn larger and clearer.

In addition to 1-12, there are four tick marks between each number, and then there are three needles of different sizes in the middle pointing to these numbers.

For some reason, Su Xiaoxue felt that this was quite beautiful, a kind of beauty called order.

Open the third picture again. This is a pop-up disc, like a shell, and there is still this needle disc inside, but it is much smaller.

It has a golden shell that seems to be able to be covered, and then there is a protruding button at the top, and a thin golden chain is tied to it.

The fourth picture is more specific. A man wearing a strange outfit, completely separated from the upper and lower clothes, with buttons separated in the middle, and black and white underwear on the outside, wearing a pair of glasses that have recently become popular, holding the small shell disc on the third picture in his hand, looking at it.

And the golden chain was tied to the belt of his pants.

Although it looks weird, it is very novel, making people want to imitate this weird dress.

...

"The big one is called Li Zhong, which is used at home." Wu Yeshuang explained to her: "The small one is called a pocket watch, which is used with her."

"Since it's time... this corresponds to twelve hours, right?" Su Xiaoxue immediately reacted.

"Not twelve hours."

This time, Liu Mingqi, who put down his work, said: "Twelve hours are too general. As a mathematician, I am used to dividing time more carefully. The twelve numbers on this dial represent twelve hours, twenty-four hours a day, sixty hours per hour, and sixty seconds per minute."

When the boy was talking, he took out a model under the table and turned the mechanism behind him, so the second hand, minute hand and hour hand all rotated together.

Although the rotation did not follow the actual situation, this way of turning the three differently seems quite interesting.

"Every sixty times the second hand goes, the minute hand will move forward one square; every sixty times the minute hand goes, the hour hand goes forward one square." Liu Mingqi said: "In this way, we can know the exact time by looking at the watch, rather than a vague time like Mao and three minutes."

Su Xiaoxue said with a slight understanding: "It is indeed very detailed to do this, but what is the specific use?"

"First, it can display time more accurately, without relying on funnels and sunlight to judge, so that the error will be larger. At the same time, with clocks, people's concept of time is more accurate." Liu Mingqi said jokingly: "The other thing is that when we do scientific research, we must control time more accurately.

For example, when we make wooden grenades, we used to estimate a few breaths, but now we can use a few seconds to express it. The people in the laboratory understand it, and the people who use it understand it better, which will avoid many unnecessary casualties and losses.

If you do more experiments, it is more conducive to making results accurately... Anyway, I can't explain it clearly for a while. In short, this is necessary for the development of technology!"

Su Xiaoxue understood this a little, but she didn't understand it very much.

This kind of specious thing made her feel itchy.

At the same time, looking at the drawings in my hand, especially the pocket watch, I felt that it would be a good thing if I could have one.

Sometimes when you walk outside, you don’t know the time anymore, and you don’t have to distinguish by looking at the sun and the moon. Just take out your pocket watch and you will know when it is.

This is quite useful.

But she was not without problems, "But according to your current setting, it must keep moving. How can it keep moving?"

"Your question is very smart." Liu Mingqi looked at her with praise: "This requires a knowledge called isochronic theory. I'll give you something to try!"

As he said that, the boy took out a pendulum with a thread hanging on it.

The clock is not made, but the pendulum is easy to make.

He took the pendulum and began to sway: "Please take care of it. Is the time of each swing the pendulum the same from the beginning to the end?"

Wu Yeshuang and Su Xiaoxue watched the pendulum swing attentively.

At the same time, they began to make silent estimates in their hearts.

If you stare at the pendulum swing for a long time, you will fall into a temporary state of dullness, which is the origin of the so-called hypnosis.

But the real hypnosis is not so magical. A little bit of disturbance or changes in the environment is enough to wake up.

Otherwise, so many insomnia patients would not have to take medicine every day.

Of course, Liu Mingqi did not let them continue to watch.

At the beginning, he swung relatively small, so naturally the time from swing to stop was shorter.

Then double the amplitude, double the amplitude...

After three consecutive times, he stopped, then hugged the girl who suddenly lost focus and then collapsed after her eyes.

My sister Shuang is naturally very informative.

Although Su Xiaoxue was wearing very loose clothes, she felt two huge balls after she hugged her like this.

Wow.

Can't see it!

The boy just felt this way, hugged them to the seat next to him, and then let them go.

After a moment, the two women woke up.

"What's wrong with this...?" Su Xiaoxue asked blankly.

"It's just a normal pendulum effect. It can easily make people feel unconscious after watching it for a long time." Liu Mingqi said: "How is it, have you come to the conclusion?"

"Although the swing amplitude is different, the swing amplitude is faster if the swing amplitude is larger, and the swing amplitude is slower if the swing amplitude is smaller... After calculation, it seems that it is really the same." Wu Yeshuang answered honestly.

"Yes, such a swing is a typical 'isochronic theory'. Not just it, you will get the same conclusion when you shake everything." The young man said, "I use this isochronic theory to keep the time of walking every second. As for the motivation here, it needs to be added manually.

You see the bulge on the pocket watch? You keep rotating it until it cannot rotate, and you can give it power for almost a day. If you increase the force once a day, it can keep turning forever!"

The two women have a bit of a look at each other.

"This seems very complicated." Su Xiaoxue frowned, "When can you do it? Let's see?"

"There's a lot to wait."

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Now I just asked them to create some simple parts, and then write down the overall process, and then let them do it. It takes at least one year or two years... Don't underestimate such a small pocket watch, it has at least a few hundred parts in it!"

"Hundreds?" Su Xiaoxue opened her beautiful eyes wide and was surprised.

"Otherwise, how could it move?" Liu Mingqi said.

"oh……"

Su Xiaoxue became more interested, "Then you must give me one after you create it!"

"OK!"

The boy nodded.

Pocket watches are usually used by men in the West.

However, it is very practical. If it is made at that time, of course it can be used by both men and women.

If Su Xiaoxue put on a suit, she would wear a pocket watch...

Tsk tsk
