The Zhang family joined Ren Baqian, and everyone in them wanted to learn something from Ren Baqian.
After all, Ren Baqian has already proved that he can completely crush the Zhang family in many technologies, and those things of the Zhang family are nothing in his eyes.
Even though the Zhang family had such intentions, the blueprint that Ren Baqian handed over to them still shocked them, making them unable to think about whether it was a good idea to tie the lives of thousands of members of the Zhang family to Ren Baqian. Bad thing happened.
"This is the blueprint of the clock tower, and the three hands of different lengths on the clock dial are divided into hour hand, minute hand, and second hand.
This kind of clock dial divides twelve hours a day, and each hour is divided into two and a half hours. When the minute hand makes a circle, the hour hand will turn one and a half hours, and two circles are one hour. When the second hand rotates one circle, the minute hand will move this small division. "
"It seems to have the same effect as the sundial." A dozen members of the Zhang family gathered in a circle and looked at the blueprint in the middle to guess.
This world timekeeping mainly uses the sundial, which is a kind of equipment that uses the sun’s projected shadow to measure the time. However, the sundial is affected by day and night, cloudy and sunny, and seasonal changes, so the accuracy is not high.
"It is completely driven by machinery. It is much more accurate than a sundial. The error is within five minutes every day. In theory, the error can be even smaller." Ren Baqian sat in the school's office, with his feet slanted Said lightly on the table.
"The most important thing is that this kind of clock tower is not restricted, and it can be seen regardless of the day and night. It is simple and clear, and it is perfect for timekeeping." Ren Baqian said.
"If this is the case, it is much more convenient than the corona, but the structure is also a hundred times more complicated."
"How is it done here?"
"What's the purpose of this mechanism? Is there a lock here?" Everyone studied the blueprints and quickly ignored Ren Baqian, discussing in low voices.
"What is written here is called an escapement mechanism! As the name suggests, it is one escapement and one escapement, so let's see for details."
"I've never heard of it! What's this next?"
Most of the Zhang family who came this time were craftsmen, and they were very enthusiastic about this new thing.
"This is the most important structure of the bell tower. I already have all the blueprints. If you don't understand it, you can reverse it with the real thing. It shouldn't be difficult. I hope you can research it as soon as possible. This bell tower is more than 20 feet high and will become a city of mist. Everyone will see this clock tower at the first sight when they come to Lancheng, and the name of your Zhang family will be known and remembered by everyone.”
Hearing Ren Baqian's words, they glowed with even greater enthusiasm. Few people can resist the temptation to leave a name in history. "
"And you have to study it and shrink it down to the size of a human head, or even smaller." Ren Baqian continued.
"We'll do our best." Zhang Junzheng clasped his fist at Ren Baqian.
"I always thought that your Zhang family had the best craftsmen..."
"As long as someone can do it, we can do it too!" Zhang Zishan immediately said decisively.
"I like your confidence. If you are short of people and things, tell me, I just hope to see the real things you show as soon as possible." Ren Baqian laughed. Zhang Zishan's words made him like the Zhang family a little bit.
"Master Ren, please find us a house that is quieter. Hundreds of people are crowded in that courtyard, and we can't even sleep well." Zhang Zishan said immediately.
"I was negligent about this matter. I will ask someone to arrange it for you in a while. Let's stay at Jing Street. It is next to the Jing people. You can live more comfortably." Ren Baqian thought for a while.
"I'm sorry." The Zhang family has no objection to living in Jing Street. After all, they are surrounded by Jing people who look similar, which is much better than the ancient people with big arms and round waists and fierce faces. , and it is not easy to be troubled by others.
After the Zhang family left, Ren Baqian returned to the palace and saw the Empress. As soon as he entered the door and opened his mouth to salute, the Empress flicked her finger, and a fruit the size of a grape turned into a string and flicked into his throat!
"The purple blue flower fruit delivered this time is very sweet." The empress said very satisfied.
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!" Ren Baqian felt that he was going to be out of breath, and the grape was directly stuck in his trachea.
Seeing that his situation was not good, the empress stepped forward and slapped him behind the back, the grape spit out and hit the ground as it was, and then bounced up and hit Qing Yuan's eyes.
"Ouch!" Qing Yuan was also taken aback.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, your purple blue flower fruit is really not something ordinary people can enjoy!" Ren Baqian blushed, and after finally recovering, he looked at the fruit on the plate held by the cub "Golden Retriever". The heart of the face is innocent, and it was almost choked to death by such an unremarkable fruit just now.
A few days ago, the empress gave the listening cub a few names, namely Dove, Ferrero and Erguotou, and Ren Baqian also named him King Kong, and in the end it became Golden Retriever...
"I don't know good intentions." The empress snorted softly, then floated back to the bed and ignored him.
Ren Baqian stood on the spot and touched his neck before he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I just gave the blueprint of the clock tower to the Zhang family, and then a lighthouse can be built in the center of Lancheng, and everyone can see it when they look up. "
The empress has always been interested in such topics, and soon forgot that she almost killed Ren Baqian with a fruit, and began to discuss enthusiastically where to build a lighthouse.
The Queen's idea was to be on the square in front of the palace, but Ren Baqian felt that was not suitable. The lighthouse was planned to be about 20 feet high, and it could be said that the palace could be seen from there, so it was not suitable for being too close to the palace.
The empress thought for a while, and what Ren Baqian said made sense.
The two took out the blueprints of Lancheng and made gestures for an afternoon. At the beginning, they planned to demolish a small piece of shops near Jingyang Street and make a turntable square with a lighthouse in the middle. At the same time, they planned to make it the center of Lancheng. .
As a result, considering whether it is to mobilize flying rides or activities such as Fenghun, they all start in front of the palace. Such a turntable square affects the road, and finally it is changed to the side, between Beihong District and Zhulian District.
After the location was settled, Ren Baqian began to think about the feasibility of speculating on land nearby.
As a person on earth, subconsciously, I feel that there will definitely be appreciation there.
But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this idea. His actions often represent the empress. It is not a good thing for the royal family to compete with the people in this regard.
What's more, Ren Baqian and the empress have always had a more ambitious idea - to build a modern new city next to Lancheng after robbing Yunguo, a modern new city with drainage, pipes, wires, layout, public supporting facilities, and toilets. Perfect New Town.
Although Lancheng is the imperial capital, there are too many ills in the cities of this era.
The mere fact of defecating indiscriminately is enough to cause headaches. From the big executive, Shi Qing, to the traffickers and pawns below, they didn't pay attention to this matter.
Although orders have been issued to control this aspect recently, especially the matter of mounts excreting in the city, it is still repeatedly prohibited.
On the one hand, they don't care about it from top to bottom, so it is naturally difficult to implement it; on the other hand, especially in Lancheng, most places can't find a public toilet in a few streets, so can it still make people suffocate
Therefore, Yunguo is of great value, and in Yunguo, there are too many expectations of Ren Baqian and the Empress.
The population of Yunguo, the artisans of Yunguo, the mines of Yunguo, and the wealth of Yunguo, there is nothing that the two of them are not concerned about.
