Wu Meiniang was stunned and asked Yang Yuhuan again, and then she got this answer as expected.
I was immediately and completely convinced.
That is definitely a desk clock!
and……
According to the description of the Holy Lord.
This clock is divided into multiple modules, including a "pendulum" and a "dial"...
The dial is similar to a sundial, with scales marking the hours.
But it is different from a sundial.
The sundial indicates time by shining the sun's rays on the upright pointer on the sundial and using its shadow to indicate the time.
But the desk clock is different!
The hands on the clock are not upright, but are connected to the central axis of rotation and are parallel to the time dial.
As the middle shaft rotates, the pointer is also driven to rotate on the dial to indicate the time.
The biggest difference is that this clock does not rely on sunlight to keep time.
Moreover, the sundial indicates the time, not to mention that rainy weather will greatly affect it.
Even throughout the year, the accuracy of sundials is significantly affected by seasonal changes.
Not to mention, the sundial needs to be kept flat when used.
It should be placed as flat as possible, otherwise it will be interfered by the dial itself and the timing will be inaccurate.
But the desk clock has no such effects at all.
No matter when and where, the timing is equally accurate.
In other words...
Sundials, on big ships at sea, have a very average timekeeping effect, but table clocks... are completely different, and their performance is much better!
The source of this incredibly powerful performance is the complex mechanical structure behind it...
but……
That's why.
As soon as Wu Meiniang heard Yang Yuhuan's chatter and laughter, she was immediately stunned.
Such a complicated thing, this...is this done?
???
"No, Sister Yuhuan, are you sure... the master's clock is already spinning?"
"Is that object called a clock? No wonder it's a little different from a sundial." Yang Yuhuan smiled, and the branches of the flower swayed, which was touching. "It is indeed turning on its own. If the young master hadn't done it, I would have thought something evil was going on."
Wu Meiniang took a deep breath.
Now I understand.
Young Master, as expected, the clock has been completed...
Smiling bitterly at Yang Yuhuan, Wu Meiniang stood up immediately and said, "Sister Yuhuan, I'm afraid I'm very busy today, so I have to excuse myself. Please don't blame me!"
"Oh?" Yang Yuhuan was startled for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "You...when did you have some free time? You go and do your work. My sister will make some snacks for you."
…
After a while...
Wu Meiniang acted quickly.
This matter is so important that it affects the overall plan of the shipbuilding industry during this period.
She did not dare to delay and immediately went to see Li Sheng himself.
But on the way, he met Ma Zhou first.
This exchange made Ma Zhou confused for a moment.
Holy shit, seriously?
That thing... When you look at the blueprint, it looks like a heavenly book.
In just over an hour, Shenghou...he completed the assembly??
Ma Zhou's face was filled with shock.
This is too scary!
Wu Meiniang then went to see Li Sheng, and Ma Zhou followed immediately.
I also met many colleagues from the shipyard along the way, and the news spread quickly.
After a while, almost everyone in the entire shipyard knew about it.
Extremely shocked!
And then, everyone finally saw Li Sheng.
as well as……
In front of Li Sheng was a large clock as tall as one person.
At this moment, Li Sheng was touching and adjusting the time behind the clock.
Overall, Li Sheng is very satisfied with this clock.
The timing is very accurate!
Although compared to the clocks of later generations, it is simply incomparable.
Later generations of clocks, even the cheaper ones, had an error of at most two or three seconds per 24 hours - this was in the late 20th century when mechanical watches had just become popular in China.
In Li Sheng's era, most people look directly at their mobile phones.
The time on the mobile phone is calibrated directly through the Internet. The standard is an extremely accurate atomic clock, the same model used in satellite positioning systems.
In addition to mobile phones, even the mechanical watches consumed by ordinary people have extremely small errors.
This big clock is in front of me.
According to the perspective of Li Sheng in his previous life, Mader's thing is not to mention bulky and bulky, but the key point is not that it is an antique with collectible value...
The timing error every 24 hours reaches an exaggerated ten seconds.
In the watch industry of later generations, this is absolutely impossible to leave the factory, and it is completely shoddy.
But right now...
Li Sheng had to say that he was very satisfied.
Because even if the error is more than ten seconds.
The timekeeping function of this clock is still far superior to that of a sundial.
The reason for this is not because people cannot distinguish between day and night and need the help of a sundial, nor is it because the scale design on the sundial is not subtle enough.
In fact, I can honestly say that the scale design on the sundial, thanks to the hard work of the Taoist priests from China, can even be said to be very exquisite. It contains a lot of local astronomy in China, and this is all the result of hard work.
However, all this is still inferior to a clock.
because……
Soon, Ma Zhou, Wu Meiniang, and a group of staff from the shipyard gathered at Li Sheng's place.
Li Sheng nodded, the courtyard door opened, and everyone rushed in.
Of course, they are not from the entire shipyard, that would be too many. They are the people who had a meeting with Li Sheng before and are among the key members.
After seeing the clock... Ma Zhou, Wu Meiniang, and everyone in the shipyard...
They couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Good guy...
This thing was actually created by the Holy Lord, and...
This pointer actually moves.
Everyone could even hear strange "tick-tock", "tick-tock"... sounds.
Crisp, smooth and stable!
Even just listening to the ticking sound, everyone can feel that this clock is definitely a good thing.
It's definitely useful for timing!
Seeing everyone arriving, Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"It seems that you all know, okay... everyone, get ready, we will..." tomorrow
"No, Holy Marquis, this...this clock is really completed?"
Ma Zhou's face was dull, and he looked in disbelief at the pointer that moved around the dial bit by bit according to the scale.
It can be said that the miraculousness of this thing completely exceeded his wildest imagination of the concept of "organism" in the past.
He could move on his own. Just this alone made Ma Zhou feel incredible.
It wasn't just Ma Zhou at this time.
In the whole yard, other people around...
Who among the backbone of the shipyard doesn't have such an expression?
It was so shocking to witness the birth of such a magical thing!
But in response to everyone's shock, Ma Zhou's inquiry...
Li Sheng just nodded calmly.
"It's done. As I said, this isn't that complicated in the first place."
"This clock keeps good time. Let's get ready tomorrow. Let's start bidding at 30,000 guan."
