The three real people were really surprised. No one had ever dared to say such a thing.
I heard that some great powers may be proficient in certain time-based magical powers and secrets.
But the person who dares to say this is an ordinary person who has never established a foundation.
Master Fuyao said slowly: "Zhang Ke! Do you know what you are talking about? Think about it before you speak!!"
Zhang Ke nodded in agreement.
Master Furong also responded: "Zhang Ke! Do you know you were so presumptuous just now, why do we still give you a chance?"
Zhang Kedao: "I probably guessed something!"
"We have seen your trial screening, and the household registration integrated insurance system you went through is very good.
In the past three years, the sect has been implementing the measure you initiated.
I have to say that this system has huge benefits and far-reaching impact on the future of the sect!"
He also said: "There are many disciples in this interview and Taoist examination, so I will use this as a topic to explain.
We have all allowed these disciples who are keen and good at seizing opportunities to pass the interview.
As for the reward given to you originally, the sect has studied it and believes that it was too low.
So you can pass this interview directly, and this is your reward.
I thought you would dig deeper into this argument, so I want to hear your new views!"
After a pause, Master Fuyao continued: "Now you still have a chance to take back what you just said, and we will give you a pass in the interview! But.
If you decide to continue with a new argument, the bonus compensation will be lost.
We will judge based on your new arguments, and now it is up to you to decide whether to discuss the new arguments."
Zhang Ke glanced at the three real people gratefully and said seriously: "I will continue!!"
"Okay! Go on!"
Zhang Ke pasted twelve iron convex building blocks on the drawing board.
The wire is hooked in the depression on the back, and the blocks are arranged in a straight line on the drawing board.
Each building block has a bump.
Zhang Ke continued:
"If this straight line represents the time of a day, then these twelve convex points are the names of each hour, such as Zi hour, Chou hour, etc."
As he spoke, he pointed at the bumps on the blocks with a wooden stick.
This is easy to understand, Master Fuyao nodded.
Master Fei Lei muttered: "I know this too! What's so surprising!"
Suddenly I felt that there was another person beside me. I turned around and was startled.
I saw a human figure about a foot tall appearing next to me.
Just as he was about to greet him, the phantom voiced: "Stop talking!!"
Master Fei Lei suppressed the words he was about to say.
The three real people couldn't help but sit up straight and listened to Zhang Ke said:
"There are very few timing methods. As far as I know, there is only one current timing method: hourglass timing!
But this instant method has many inconveniences! I will introduce my timing method below!"
"The twelve hours of a day are actually somewhat unsuitable. They can be used in other aspects such as astrology, Feng Shui, etc.
In daily life, I think the twelve hours of a day can be divided again! Divide each hour into two halves!"
As he spoke, he paused and continued: "We can separate day and night!"
Master Fuyao interrupted: "How to divide it?"
Zhang Ke grabbed one end of the building blocks on the drawing board with his hand and flicked his arm.
Because there are wires connecting the bottom of the building blocks.
Therefore, when swinging, the whole circle forms a circle, connected end to end.
Fuyao's eyes lit up.
Looking at the bumps in the circle, many thoughts flashed through my mind.
But I always feel like there is something in my head that is ready to burst out.
But it just can’t be expressed in words.
He couldn't help but asked anxiously: "What then?"
Zhang Ke lifted up the tarpaulin of another object with his backhand, revealing a strange object underneath.
This is what the clock looks like in the dream. It is three feet in size. Several people looked at this thing, focusing mainly on the pendulum and hands.
There is a "clanging" sound made by the movement of the pointer.
The pendulum below also swings rhythmically, as if he has some understanding.
Zhang Ke pointed at the clock and said: "The time is now twelve o'clock and five minutes!"
The three real people looked at the shadow next to them and saw that he was silent.
Master Fuyao said: "Explain it!"
Zhang Kedao: "I changed the traditional hour to its current name.
For example: from Zi hour to Chou hour, I divide each big hour into two halves, called small hours, or hours for short, and display them with numbers."
He pointed to the time on the clock and said: "There are twenty-four points in total. Because there are too many to remember, they rotate day and night.
After twelve o'clock, the thirteen o'clock covers the one o'clock, is it understandable to say this?"
Master Fuyao said: "Why do you do it like this? It's easy to remember the time!!"
Zhang Kedao: "I said that this kind of thing will change the world and should be popularized in the secular world.
It is difficult for ordinary people to count more than twenty without learning, and it is impossible to write down the number of heavenly stems and earthly branches."
Master Fuyao nodded.
Zhang Ke continued: "Why I say time can be controlled is because time can be quantified!"
"I use three hands on the pointer to demonstrate. The shortest hand is the hour hand, the medium-long one is called the minute hand, and the longest one is called the second hand!"
"One day is equal to twenty-four hours, one hour is equal to sixty minutes, and one minute is equal to sixty seconds. In this way, time is quantified!!"
“How exactly do you define the time of day?”
"When disciples do morning classes at Zuowang Peak, they set the time between two sunrises as one day."
"Why is it called this, and why are it divided into sixty equal parts?"
It was difficult for him to explain the concept of the second hand to three real people.
The duration of 9192631770 cycles of radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine energy levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom is one second.
Of course, he doesn't understand this either.
He tried his best to explain that the number sixty was chosen because it is a multiple of many simple numbers such as two, three, four, five, six, ten, twelve, etc.;
He had no choice but to call it one second based on the time of one heart beat.
Zhang Ke pointed at the pointer and explained the reasons for the numbers.
The sexagesimal system is both convenient for counting and calculation.
Master Fuyao mentally uses decimal and other base systems.
After careful comparison, I found that the base 60 system is really convenient, and I nodded unconsciously.
Master Feilei heard the message from True Lord Tianya.
Asked: "Basically figured it out, what is this thing called? What are its functions?"
"Because it is used to keep time and its body shape is like a clock, so I named it Clock!!
As for its function, from now on, whenever the time exceeds one heart beat, it can be timed!
Time can help improve work efficiency. The most important thing is to be accurate and able to time it accurately.
Whether in the spiritual world or in the secular world, this is undoubtedly the most important.
I can’t even imagine how much change will happen in the future because of this.”
"Why does it turn? I mean, how does it stay accurate?"
Master Fuyao asked the key.
"The movement of the clock is based on the principle of leverage, and the pendulum repeats back and forth like a swing.
The most basic operation sequence is from spring → center wheel → third wheel → fourth wheel → escape wheel → horse → balance wheel.
A movement in which the reaction force of the balance wheel then bounces the horse back to its original position.”
".???"
"To put it simply, it uses a lot of large and small gears to mesh with each other.
Use the gear rotation to find the most basic unit of "second", and then make it cycle back and forth at a constant speed!"
"Oh~~! This belongs to the category of agency news! Right?"
"Yes!!"
“An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time, which fully illustrates the value of time.
Time is life, time is power.
The fastest and slowest thing in the world, the longest and shortest thing, the most ordinary thing but also the most precious thing, the most easily ignored thing and the most regrettable thing is time.”
The soul of True Monarch Tianya was watching the clock.
Watching the pointer beat and circle around the axis, it seems like you can see the passage of time.
Suddenly something came to my mind, and my soul dispersed.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Ke did not notice the coming or going of the True Lord.
Master Fuyao's mind instantly flashed through the refining of weapons and the precise time requirements for refining medicine.
Due to the time error, how many treasures of heaven, material and earth have been annihilated over countless years.
And when accurate timing is now possible, what impact will it have?
In the past, it was all about fuzzy timing, but I’m afraid it’s really going to change in the future!!
Zhang Ke took off his watch from his left hand. This was his trump card today.
The above is just the foreshadowing, which he carefully prepared.
Azure sapphire mirror, set with pink diamonds.
The bracelet is made of star-grained steel, and the whole watch has a restrained brilliance, yet is bright and luxurious.
Furong's eyes instantly turned red.
With a wave of his hand, the watch flew into his hand and he put it on his hand, exclaiming in admiration from time to time.
The three real people took turns testing and trying on each one.
It was unanimously determined that this thing would definitely cause an uproar!
“Is this watch difficult to make?”
Afraid that Zhang Ke wouldn't understand, he added, "Do I mean it's easy to copy?"
Master Fuyao could see the stakes at a glance.
Zhang Kedao: "It's not difficult!"
Then he said: "This is the most troublesome. Once you have a sample, it is easy to copy!"
Master Fuyao said sternly: "I will give you a big credit for this, and then you can send over the relevant information, drawings and personnel!!"
Zhang Ke agreed and Shili prepared to leave.
Master Furong suddenly said: "Zhang Ke! The sect will definitely not treat you badly!!"
Zhang Ke turned around and said with a bright smile: "Today I am proud to join the sect! The sect will definitely be proud of me in the future!!"
Looking at Zhang Ke's back as he turned and left.
Master Fuyao sighed: "This son's future achievements will be limitless!!"
