Chapter 281 The Black Technology Fire Clock of Ancient Times
"How can we build this mine without it collapsing?"
"Are there really a lot of hot coals in here?"
After several mining failures, and even the collapse of a shallow mine due to excessive force, the Fire-weary people began to have doubts. Although Yijun had a reputation as a "handyman", that is, he knew a little bit about everything, and his craftsmanship was very good.
Okay, but there are a lot of problems happening right now, which makes everyone think that Yijun may have made a mistake.
I'm afraid there are no coal mines at this location.
"No, right here!"
Yijun was immediately upset when he was questioned by this group of people. Some men from the Fire-Tired Nation said that they had been collecting coal. Oh no, they had been mining coal for many years. Wherever there is old coal, you can understand it by knocking.
If those dogs hadn't come to cause trouble, they wouldn't have come to this area to find a new coal mine.
"The vegetation here is sparse, which is obviously different from other mountains. There must be charcoal. Because the ground generates fire, the trees do not grow toward the sun. You don't understand!"
"Mountains and mines have their own characteristics, which are different from mines!"
Yijun stared, waving his strong and strong arms, spitting and spitting, while the miners from the Fire-Tired Country had expressions like "What you said seems to make sense, but it seems to go against common sense." This made Yijun even more angry.
big.
But it is true that there is no need to curse too much. After all, the failure of the mine construction is an indisputable fact. He does not care about the landslide. After all, as the grandson of Emperor Kuang, he has all the fighting power he should have. If the monkey monkey is crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, what will happen?
Without that Buddha sticker, it would come out immediately.
But many of the miners in the Fire Tired Nation are ordinary people. Even if there are totem warriors, they are still flesh and blood in the face of large-scale landslides, not copper heads and iron arms...
"If it keeps collapsing, it's better to beat the dog."
Someone muttered something, which was immediately recognized by many people.
We have been digging the mountain continuously, and as a result, there are so many mines, but not one of them has produced coal, and there are landslides everywhere. Although Yijun said it was very mysterious and sounded very professional, the problem is...he didn't see any coal.
ah!
It would be better to fight with them and compete for territory with them. Besides, that territory belongs to the Fire-Tired Country.
It was getting dark, so everyone lit a fire beside the mine. The small light dispersed the great darkness.
"Hey hey~!"
A sentry from the Fire-weary Kingdom came outside. The leader of the Fire-weary Kingdom asked him what happened. The sentry from the Fire-weary Kingdom responded: "The Erba gods from Biyi Wilderness are back."
Everyone looked at each other. They heard that Erba Divine Man's sacrificial fire had been stolen. When he first heard the news, the Lord of the Fire-weary Kingdom did not announce it to the outside world. At the same time, he was also shocked that any birdman dared to
So bold to steal the sacrificial fire?
Could this birdman be Promi?
Of course, it is impossible for the leader of the Fire-weary Kingdom to know Pu Moumou. He was just lamenting that these days, even the sacrificial fires of gods and men are stolen. Recently, there have been constant natural and man-made disasters in the mountains and seas.
Erba Shenren later left, and I don't know where he went, but now he is back. According to the whistleblower's report, he seems to have brought two people back with him, and they are from the north.
"Did you find the lost sacrificial fire?"
Lord Yanhuo muttered, and the sentry nodded: "The gods are making a noise. They are saying that the sacrificial fire is going to burn again. The two people from the north seem to be very capable."

In the wilderness of biwing, when Yuanzai saw the biwing bird...
"Goo!"
Guzi stood next to Mamazai, trying her best to raise her non-existent neck, looking at the two flying birds, her eyes full of longing and excitement.
In the mountains and seas, there are two kinds of birds flying side by side. The first one is the flying bird. One is cyan and the other is red. The two birds flying side by side means flying with wings touching each other. It is a bird that symbolizes love in the eyes of many tribes.
Son.
"Natural History": "There are winged birds in the south. They fly, drink, and peck, and are not separated from each other... they die and come back to life."
The second type is very strange. When it appears in the Western Mountain Sutra, it is often mistaken for a winged bird. In fact, this kind of bird has only one eye and one wing, and it must be a male and a female.
Flying together, but they are not flying birds, but evil beasts called "Barbarians". When they appear, they bring not love... but floods!
Biyiniao and Manman need to be distinguished. Their living areas, living habits, and regional climates are all very different. One is in the desolate Western Wasteland, and the other is in the humiliating south. Since ancient times, the climate of the Western Wasteland has been far different from that of the Central Plains.
same.
The little yellow chicken ran towards Stonehenge. Yuzai and Dayi were also amazed by the appearance of this "Stonehenge". For example, Dayi saw Stonehenge for the second time, but he still couldn't help but express the most sincere admiration.
This is the "house" used by the Erba gods to observe celestial phenomena. To put it simply -
It’s the “Observatory”!
In ancient civilizations, there were countless huge observatories like this, including many temples. The original intention of their construction was to integrate "serving the gods" and "observing the celestial phenomena". However, like the Mayan temples, many later
The rulers blindly pursued the guidance of the gods, thus gradually diluting the observation of celestial phenomena, and even reduced the celestial observatory to a place for blood type sacrifices.
That thing is the famous "Chichen Itza"!
Seeing the "Observatory Array" in front of her, Yu Zai suddenly felt the urge to build wonders. After all, these things can indeed awaken the pride of an ancient civilization. Goodbye happiness +5...
The huge sacrificial flame is in the center. The three sacrificial disks symbolize the sun, moon and stars. The burning material is built into a triangle. The pillar of fire penetrates into the sky into the night. The heat wave is billowing, slowly hovering in the center with the wind. The huge
The trees were burning in it, and the three shadows cast by the fire pillars fell on the observatory.
But now you can see that a shadow has become very faint.
This is what is said, the sacrificial flame is extinguished by one third, so that time will gradually slow down.
"The three trees are the flames in charge of the 'stars'. Without this sacrificial fire, we would have no way to determine the accurate time according to the movement of the stars in the sky."
"If you make a little mistake, you will make a lot of mistakes!"
The gods were talking, and Yuzai was in full agreement.
If there is a slight difference, it will be a thousand miles wrong.
The various scales and markings on the three sacrificial discs and the astrolabe of the three trees made Yuzai's eyes widen after looking at them.
Erba Shenren are indeed a bunch of idiots. If someone with such a good idea comes over and knows how to use it, he can directly unlock the "calendar" technology!
You really just want to hold on to Stonehenge without unlocking the technology! Then what are you doing to steal this wonder?
"The intensity of the flame reaches a certain point, so the brightness determines the accuracy of time measurement. The fire gradually dies out, just like the battery of the clock is out of power, and cannot meet the requirements for measurement, which leads to the occurrence of
error...."
"And Erba Shenren cannot come out during the day..."
"This is the 'Fire Bell'!"
Yuzai understood instantly!
Fire enabled humans to eat cooked food. Fire brought light to humans. Fire was also used by humans to keep time. This was the ancient fire clock. People engaged in nomadic herding and farming during the day and could measure time by observing the "movement" of the sun.
....The sundial was invented from then on.
But it’s pitch dark at night, so how do we keep time?
The blazing bonfire inspired people. People found that a certain amount of the same fuel burned for roughly the same time, so they thought of using the burning of fire to measure time, and invented the fire clock.
The fire clock is a tool for measuring time intervals. It uses the speed of burning a predetermined fuel to measure time. The same amount of predetermined fuel burns at the same speed, and the time taken...is the same length.
