"Is this what you built?" Han Du curiously picked up a part and looked at it carefully.
Sun Xian looked embarrassed, coughed twice and replied with embarrassment, "It's not finished yet."
Han Du looked at the large and small parts piled on the long table. At a rough glance, there were at least hundreds. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Can't you make so many parts?"
Handoji's clocks are indeed relatively complicated and have many parts, but they shouldn't be this complicated, right?
Sun Xian stood aside with a face full of shame, not daring to raise his head to look at his husband, and said with cupped hands, "The student has let you down."
"Teacher, I don't really blame Senior Brother Sun. It's really difficult to make this water transport instrument platform compact." Yu Qian was afraid that the teacher would misunderstand Sun Xian, so he quickly stood up to speak for Sun Xian.
The more Han Du listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He quickly interrupted Yu Qian with his hand and asked, "Wait a minute, what exactly do you want to build?"
Hearing what the teacher mentioned about what he wanted to build, Sun Xian suddenly became energetic and quickly explained, "Of course it is to build a water-moving instrument platform, but we can't build one as big as Qintianjian, so I compared it with the water-moving instrument in Qintianjian."
"Elephant platform, shrink it and make it smaller"
"Stop, stop, stop," Han Du sighed. Before Sun Xian could finish speaking, he reached out to interrupt him.
Sun Xian didn't know why he stopped quickly and looked at his husband with a puzzled face.
Yu Qian also looked at the teacher curiously.
Han Du glanced at the two of them and asked with a strange expression, "So, do you want to completely copy the water transport instrument platform? Just make it smaller?"
Sun Xian and Yu Qian looked at each other and didn't feel anything was wrong.
Han Du understood by looking at the expressions of the two of them. He guessed correctly. This was what they planned. Suddenly, Han Du felt a headache and subconsciously reached out and pressed his forehead.
Yu Qian fought back quickly. He noticed that the teacher's attitude was wrong and he seemed not to be optimistic about their approach.
"Teacher, what did we do wrong?"
Han Du let out a heavy breath and looked at his two most proud students and disciples. He was about to speak but suddenly stopped.
I have to say that their ideas are very good, but their thinking is not broad enough. If I speak too straightforwardly, I am afraid it will damage their confidence.
So Han Du changed his attitude, smiled and said, "I can't say it's wrong, it's just..."
"Just what?" Sun Xian asked anxiously. He put in a lot of effort to build this water transport instrument platform, and often stayed up all night, even to the point of being unable to sleep at night.
If this water-operated instrument platform really cannot be built, it will be a huge blow to Sun Xian.
Han Du saw the tension and fear in Sun Xian's expression, and immediately gave him a comforting smile and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not as serious as you think."
After clearing his throat, Han Du looked down at the parts on the table and said loudly, "You want to make the timer like the water movement instrument smaller. This is a good idea."
"Timer?" Yu Qian's eyes lit up and he whispered, "A machine that records time is indeed a good name."
Sun Xian didn't speak. He lowered his head slightly, thinking that the name "Water Transport Symbol" sounded good. However, he also curiously asked, "Sir, do you really think this is a good idea?"
Until now, Sun Xian still has no confidence in his heart, because he himself does not know what the use of making the water transport instrument platform smaller will be. He
It was only when he saw the water-carrying ceremonial platform in Qintianjian that he wanted to own one. However, the machinery workshop did not have such a big space to build a water-carrying ceremonial platform like Qintianjian, so he thought of building a small one.
Inside the machine shop.
This can be regarded as Sun Xian's hobby. When he saw a machine with a complicated structure, he wanted to build one.
"Of course." Han Du praised.
Seeing that the two people were puzzled, he patiently explained to them, "Since ancient times, time has always been the prerogative of the imperial court. If others want to know the time clearly, they can only get the notice from the Qintian Prison."
"If we make this thing smaller and hang one in every house."
"Then everyone no longer has to wait for the clock watcher to tell the time. You can know what time it is anytime and anywhere!" Yu Qian clapped his hands and said happily.
"Hey! Well said." Han Du pointed at Yu Qian and praised him repeatedly.
Obviously, Sun Xian understood Han Du's true thoughts better than Yu Qian. He frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This thing is so rare and complicated. It should cost a lot, and ordinary people shouldn't be able to afford it, right?"
Han Du just smiled and glanced at Sun Xian without explaining.
Of course ordinary people can't afford it. Handu has never been in the habit of selling things cheaply. This clock was made to make a lot of money, how could it be sold cheaply?
Besides, why would ordinary people be interested in time? Most of them go from sunrise to sunset. Listening to music and even singing in harmony are just their way of dispatching loneliness.
No one will spend money for a bit of vain time.
And it doesn't matter if the people can't afford it. Han Du has never thought of selling this thing to the people anyway.
Compared with ordinary people, dignitaries are much more interested in clocks and watches. First of all, this thing has never been seen before, it is unique. Secondly, this thing can be used to show their status.
Even if they don't have this concept, Han Du can be implanted in their minds. As long as the dignitaries can use this thing as a symbol of status, they won't have to worry about making a fortune.
Han Du didn't pay attention and continued, "We'll talk about selling it later. Now we still have to think about how to build it."
Sun Xian and Yu Qian looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Indeed, the most important thing now is to build it. After it is built, you can do whatever you want. If it can't be built, it will be meaningless to have more plans and ideas now.
"Please give me some advice, sir." Sun Xian was particularly excited when he thought that his husband would participate, and even felt like victory was in sight.
After all, no matter what happens, as long as Mr. takes action, there is nothing that cannot be captured.
Yu Qian also looked at the teacher with interest. He wanted to know what the teacher was thinking. This was extremely important for him to learn from the teacher.
Han Du motioned the two of them to sit down, one on the left and the other on the right, and said seriously, "First of all, there is something wrong with your idea."
When his teacher said that his idea was wrong, Sun Xian not only did not get angry, but also nodded sincerely, "Students are all ears."
"I have said that your idea of making the water transport observatory small is very innovative. But haven't you ever thought about why the water transport observatory is so big?"
This sentence silenced Sun Xianqian. He thought carefully for a moment but still couldn't find the answer. He couldn't help but look up at Yu Qian, hoping to gain something from him.
But Yu Qian shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not thought of it. "Is this what you built?" Han Du curiously picked up a part and looked at it carefully.
Sun Xian looked embarrassed, coughed twice and replied with embarrassment, "It's not finished yet."

"Teacher, I don't really blame Senior Brother Sun. It's really difficult to make this water transport instrument platform compact." Yu Qian was afraid that the teacher would misunderstand Sun Xian, so he quickly stood up to speak for Sun Xian. .??.
