With a successful experience, Sun Xian quickly built a clock again. And this time the clock is much smaller than the first one, only two feet square.
But Han Du was still dissatisfied. After looking at it twice, he shook his head and sighed.
Sun Xian was originally very proud of himself. After all, he spent a lot of effort to reduce the size of the clock to such an extent. At first he thought he had already built a big one, and this time he just had to scale down every part.
But when he did it himself, he discovered that it was not that simple. He encountered many problems, but fortunately they were all solved one by one.
"Sir, are you still not satisfied?"
Han Du nodded slightly, "It's still a little too big. It can only be hung on the wall, which is not very convenient."
"Then, students, try your best to make it smaller." Sun Xian gritted his teeth and nodded. Since my husband has a request, he, as a student, must do it even if he has to work hard.
This time Sun Xian took longer, but the effect was also significant. He was holding a clock the size of a disc, and the more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it.
But when he handed it to Han Du, Han Du shook his head lightly, "It's still a little big."
But when Han Du looked up and saw that Sun Xian's eyes had thick dark circles, like pandas, he quickly changed his words, "Forget it, that's enough."
"No." Sun Xian shook his head resolutely and said to Han Du sincerely, "Sir, if you have a request, it's okay to say so. Although students are really tired from making clocks over and over these days, they also feel that their skills have improved a lot. Come on. The student hasn’t felt like this for a long time. Please help me, sir!"
ah! Unexpectedly, Sun Xian had such a physique, and Han Du glanced at him in surprise.
However, Sun Xian's feelings should be true. After all, a clock is already a relatively complex mechanical structure. Some parts inside have very clever functions, and it is expected that they can inspire Sun Xian. &

Seeing that Sun Xian was so persistent, Han Du decided to tell him his request.
Han Du took a tea cup lid and said to Sun Xian, "It's good to be able to urinate like this."
"Teacher, do you really want to make it so small?" Yu Qian couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help asking, "No matter the size, the time is the same. We don't need to make it like this, right?"
Yu Qian has been following Sun Xian from beginning to end these days, and he knows exactly how difficult it is to shrink a clock. Sun Xian was able to shrink the clock twice in succession, from the original size of a table of eight immortals to now only the size of a plate, which already made him admire him endlessly.
Unexpectedly, even so, the teacher was still dissatisfied. He even offered to ask Sun Xian to reduce the clock to the size of a cup, which he considered to be an impossible task.
Han Du understood the implication of Yu Qian's words. Did he blame himself for pushing Sun Xian too hard?
Looking at Sun Xian, Han Du smiled and explained, "Since our mechanical workshop has made clocks, they are for sale. Only in this way can we make money. Only with money can we continue to invest in research and make products." Better products. Only in this way can a virtuous cycle be formed to ensure the continued prosperity of the machinery workshop."
Regarding this, both Sun Xian and Yu Qian turned around to express their understanding.
Han Du picked up the clock on the table, raised it towards Yu Qian and said, "You're right, the clock is good enough to look like this. You can hang it on the wall and appreciate it. If you sell it like this, someone will definitely be willing to buy it."
"But since we want to make money from this, we can't just limit our vision to the present. Compared with hanging a clock on the wall, you say
Does anyone want to wear it? "
After hearing this, Sun Xian's eyes widened immediately and he stared at the gentleman. He was so nervous that his voice couldn't stop trembling. "What the gentleman means is that you can make the clock the size of a cup and hang it on your body."
"I see, I understand!" Sun Xian's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if countless inspirations flashed in his mind.
In fact, when Sun Xian's words came out, he understood that he was asking in vain. The cup-sized clock can be carried around with just a string.

Being able to accurately grasp the time is indeed very attractive to people. But compared to the temptation of carrying time with you, it is nothing.
Even Sun Xian himself looked at the clock on the table with a look of disgust.
It was obvious that just a few minutes ago, she was still the one who cared about him. As a result, after only listening to the husband's description and before actually building a cup-sized clock, the original Xiao Tiantian became Mrs. Niu.
"Sir, please sit down. The students will take their leave now." Sun Xian couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't wait to create the love expression in his dream. Even without waiting for Han Du's consent, he turned around and left.
Yu Qian was stunned when he saw Sun Xian leaving. He was still fighting for Sun Xian the last moment. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Sun Xian was so happy that he hurried to make a clock without even having time to say hello to him.
"Teacher, disciple, go and see him." Yu Qian had no choice but to say goodbye to Han Du, dumbfounded.
Han Du waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and don't worry about me. I just have to leave because I have something to do."
With that said, Han Du shouted outside, "Come here, load these three and take them away."
Yu Qian's face was full of surprise, "Didn't the teacher say this thing is too big?"
Handu Shi stood up suddenly
, said with a smile, "Of course it's too big to carry around, but it's no problem to hang it at home. And our creation of a clock is also a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. We should report the good news to the emperor."
What kind of good news is it? Isn't it just asking the emperor to take advantage of the autumn wind? Yu Qian had seen this kind of thing more than once, and he instantly understood what the teacher meant.
He laughed, bowed and said, "Disciple, I wish the teacher a good trip."
"Let's go." Han Du nodded, waved and led the group towards the palace.
In the royal garden.
Zhu Yunye was accompanied by the queen and several concubines. He was testing the knowledge of his three sons at the school.
Zhu Yunye's three sons were not born to the same concubine. The eldest son was born to the queen, and the other two were also born to other concubines. But one thing the three sons have in common is that none of them are very smart, and they always look submissive in front of him.
Zhu Yunye remembered that he was not very smart when he was a child, and his mother often scolded him for being stupid like a pig. He was even punished and beaten frequently for this reason.
Zhu Yunye felt that people like him were not smart, but he never thought that he could meet people even stupider than him.
And he is his own son, so there are three of them!
Just when Zhu Yunye was panting like an ox, with sparks coming out of his nostrils.
The eunuch trotted over along the winding garden path and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo wants to see you."
There was a hint of doubt in Zhu Yunye's bright eyes. Since Han Du gave up his official position, he rarely took the initiative to go to the palace to ask for an audience. And every time, it always brings some surprises to Zhu Yunye.
"Explain it."
"Yes." As the eunuch took the order and saluted, he couldn't help but look towards the queen.
