"Haha, then I'll just wait for the good news from His Highness."
Hearing Zhu Houzhao¡¯s confident words, Liu Jin immediately laughed.
The history of the development of clocks can be traced back to a long time ago. At all times and in all countries, almost every civilization and race that has developed well will study methods of calculating time, calculating calendars, etc.
In 100 BC, the ancient Greeks created an Olympic timer composed of a 30-70 gear system.
When our ancestors were in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng created a leaky armillary sphere. He used a gear system to connect the mixing image and the timing clepsydra. The dripping water from the clepsydra pushed the mixed image to rotate evenly, making exactly one revolution a day. This is considered the earliest Mechanical clock.
In 1350, Dante in Italy made the first simple mechanical striking tower clock, but the daily difference was very large, with an error of almost 15-30 minutes.
From 1500 to 1510, that is, during the reign of the Ming Dynasty, the German Heinleth first used a spring instead of a heavy hammer and created a small mechanical clock with a crown-shaped wheel to catch the cone mechanism.
Nearly half a century later, the Italian Galileo invented the gravity pendulum, and then the Dutch introduced the gravity pendulum into the manufacture of clock machinery and created a pendulum clock.
By 1673, Huygens applied a speed regulator composed of a balance spring to a portable clock, creating a portable and portable clock.
It can be said that the development history of clocks is actually a history of human exploration of time. This historical process is very long.
Zhu Houzhao said that it would be possible to create a mechanical clock within a month. Liu Jin felt that it was still very difficult. Although the Ming Dynasty's mechanical technology was already quite remarkable, it was not only able to create many advanced machines, but also basic things. In constant expansion.
And because we have exchanges with all over the world, we can also learn European technology, but Liu Jin thinks it is very difficult to create the world in just one month.
Even if it is manufactured, I am afraid it will not be very convenient to use and the error will be large.
"Just wait and see~"
Zhu Houzhao replied very confidently.
While the two were chatting, they learned that Liu Jin was coming, and Ren Siheng, the dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, also hurriedly came over.
"Your Highness~"
"Mr. Liu~"
Ren Siheng is also very young. Because of his amazing talent in machinery, he became the dean of this mechanical college at a young age and was also in charge of the Beijing Machinery Factory.
"Ren Siheng, how is the research on steamships and steam locomotives going?"
Seeing Ren Siheng, Liu Jin thought about it and asked.
This time, one thing is to ask them to study machines that calculate time, and the other thing is to ask about the research status of steam ships and steam locomotives.
These two things are very important things, especially for the Ming Dynasty right now, they are very important.
The land area of ??Ming Dynasty is really too large.
The entire Asia was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and Australia and the Americas were monopolized. The Pacific Ocean became an inland sea. If you include the Ming Dynasty's colonies, vassal states, etc., the area would be even larger.
With such a huge territory, it would be very inconvenient to travel through it just by relying on traditional means of transportation.
Even if you take the shortest route from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to America, it will take more than two months. This is also when everything goes well.
From the capital to Nanyun Province, the westernmost part of the Ming Dynasty, it takes more than two months to take a four-wheeled carriage and take the newly repaired cement road.
The territory is too large, which has brought a lot of inconvenience to Ming Dynasty's rule, and there will not be any big problems in a short time.
If time goes by, in many remote places, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is very likely that some separatist forces will breed. Although in this regard, Ming Dynasty has been taking precautions and made some improvements in the system.
For example, a feudal official in a certain place can work for up to eight years, and then he has to be transferred to other places. In addition, he has to go to Beijing regularly to report on his duties, and military power, financial power, administrative power, etc. are separated. These are all to prevent some local officials from Make the system bigger.
But the system is a system, and here lies the problem faced by a territory that is too large.
Therefore, the imperial court has been increasing investment in infrastructure construction in recent years, the most important of which is building bridges and paving roads to strengthen exchanges and exchanges between various regions.
The construction of cement roads and bridges is also greatly convenient.?Didn't expect that. "
The two looked at each other, and then looked at Liu Jin in unison, looking at Liu Jin as if they were looking at monsters.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Liu Jin was looked at by the two people and asked a little bit.
"What's going on in your head that you can think of such a way?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but looked at Liu Jin carefully and asked.
"Umjust a random thought, I don't know if it will work."
Liu Jin said with a slight blush.
"Random thinking is better than our hard thinking. Tsk tsk, you are indeed Lao Liu."
Zhu Houzhao sighed immediately.
"Ahem, you are the professors in this regard, I am just a layman, I don't understand at all, and I am just talking nonsense."
¡°You decide what to do, if you think it works, go and try it.¡±
Liu Jin smiled awkwardly and said.
"Of course, we will definitely give it a try, and I think this method will definitely work."
"Railways, rails, if you build rails, you can completely limit the trajectory of the steam locomotive. You don't have to worry about anything going wrong. The power of the steam locomotive is powerful, and it can pull a lot of things and cargo."
"Perhaps we can get a lot of carriages and can carry people."
Ren Siheng on the side has already begun to think. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
