Of course, Dr. Zhong realized a minute later that there was nothing wrong with the Executive Committee - he was still in his studio in Taibai Mansion. [Read the latest chapter] The telephone covered with cotton cover was placed on a small coffee table and placed well.
The large glass window in front of the work table was already covered with water droplets - it started to rain outside. 13800100.
"There are going to be storms on the sea again." Zhong Lishi said and stood up slowly. Zhong Xiaoying quickly helped him put on his coat - now the temperature dropped significantly.
"Yes, Dad is here. The current temperature is 19 degrees Celsius. The humidity is 90%. The barometer is rising. It is estimated that the rain will not last long."
"Not bad." Zhong Lishi nodded with satisfaction. Zhong Xiaoying was his adopted daughter. He bought her from a maid training class. Zhong Xiaoying is from Dongguan County, Guangdong. She has dark skin and average appearance, but has big eyes and is of adequate height.
Zhong Lishi didn't get the number in the lottery. He didn't like the first batch of maid training courses that were below B level. When he was about to buy one and go back to wash, cook and warm the bed, he found a girl with very flexible eyes. It was big and bright, and I was immediately attracted to it. After asking a few questions, I felt that this girl's quick thinking was a promising talent, so I spent money to buy it.
Zhong Lishi soon discovered that she was a clever girl. In addition to doing housework, when he was doing experiments and doing research, she always stood aside and quietly observed, and would help him from time to time. Gradually, Dr. Zhong discovered that she was quite talented in this area, and began to teach her some scientific knowledge and simple mathematics.
The girl's ability to learn and understand surprised and delighted him. After careful consideration, Zhong Lizhi decided to adopt her as his adopted daughter. She was named Zhong Xiaoying.
Zhong Xiaoying can read and write, and her calligraphy skills are better than 90% of the elders. In addition, I will order the fists and feet of the three-legged cat. Obviously not from a poor family. Dr. Zhong specifically read her "self-report" in the refugee camp and learned that she was born in a family of small officials. My grandfather was a county magistrate, my father was the third child and could not study well. After the death of my grandfather and the separation of the family, the family fortunes quickly declined, and I could only survive by relying on the female family members to reel in silk.
i. Unexpectedly, a sudden fire a few years ago destroyed her home. The surviving Zhong Xiaoying was almost sold to a jail by her unscrupulous relatives.
The Senate not only saved her from the eternal fire pit, but also gave her a safe and stable life - especially the knowledgeable and elegant Dr. Zhong, whom she admired endlessly. Since she became an adopted daughter, she has become more and more respectful to Dr. Zhong. Not only every
I calmed down in the morning and dusk, and after accidentally peeking at a few cartoons collected by Dr. Zhong, he changed his name and called his father Dalu.
"Father, you have been busy for a long time, so you should rest early." Zhong Xiaoying held his arm.
"what time is it now?"
"Reporting to my father, it is now ten forty in the evening."
"It's still early." Dr. Zhong yawned, and he considered whether to continue his work.
He thought of the newly installed "weight-checking pendulum II" on the clock tower for testing outside. He implemented a simple fixed-point timekeeping function on this big clock, but it was limited to striking one time on the hour. In terms of effect, it was similar to Blowing the whistle at fixed points in the current factory is still at a very early stage.
But even so, it is the result of Dr. Zhong’s painstaking work. Over the past two years, Zhonglishi has spent most of his time working hard to rebuild the watch industry. This is not only related to the trust of the Senate and the Executive Committee, but also has a serious relationship with one's own face and reputation.
Construction company bastards! This is a sentence he has often cursed in his heart over the past two years. These guys know that they won't be able to get the big clock for a while, but they like to design a bell tower on the building. It is said that this was in order to implement the Senate's spirit of "instilling the modern concept of time into every indigenous mind."
The problem is that these bell towers have no bells to match, so the bell towers become attics with empty mouths. In order to prevent the invasion of wind and rain, the holes where the clock faces are to be installed have to be sealed with wooden boards and reed mats. These ugly closed holes seem to be silently accusing something at every moment. Dr. Zhong felt uncomfortable when he saw it.
Whenever the Senate held an executive meeting, there would always be an indifferent senator asking when the big bell in the customs bell tower would ring. The empty bell tower had aroused speculation among many naturalized people and natives. Over time, Dr. Zhong’s bell tower became a menstrual topic among the elders.
Dr. Zhong felt a little on pins and needles at first, but then Qian Jian turned a deaf ear. As a member of the Science and Technology Committee, he can directly communicate with the Executive Committee at the enlarged meeting. In addition, he has a good understanding of the characteristics of scientific research and knows that scientific research projects are never immediate. fruitful. Therefore, we are not stingy in investment.
Under the direct control of Zhong Lizhi, the Planning Institute approved the construction of the Taibai Time Service Center. From the beginning of its construction, Zhong Lishi moved to the Taibai Mansion here and lived a semi-reclusive life. In addition to going to Bairen New City every week to deal with the Science and Technology Enrollment Committee,
In addition to my daily work, I also participate in
Apart from the meetings held by the Yāng Government Affairs Council and the Executive Committee, they basically do not appear in Bairen New City. Except for important occasions such as New Year's group gatherings, they do not participate in the social activities of the elders.
Seclusion allowed him to do his work in peace. But he soon discovered that playing with ready-made clocks and actually designing his own were completely different things. Especially in line with the current poor level of raw materials and production processes.
The Planning Institute approved that he can use various controlled materials, even from 1
i Time and Space has brought "first-class controlled materials" that cannot be produced in the short term, but Dr. Zhong knows very well that there is no value in using these materials to realize watch manufacturing - there is no sustainable production capacity in this time and space. Just like the batch of table clocks and floor clocks they originally made using the clock components they brought.
For the sake of simplicity and ease of production, the first work he started was a pendulum clock - this was the least technically difficult, and the original version had already appeared in the 16th century. This type of clock is generally large, black and thick, and the requirements for materials and processing precision can be relatively low.
Even so, Zhong Lishi still had a headache for a while when designing the first prototype clock.
The most critical part of the clock is the speed regulating mechanism. The first thing to be realized in the pendulum speed regulating mechanism is the escapement. The escapement mechanism can be simply described as a "Y"-shaped device with two teeth. It works in repeated swings. The two teeth of the "Y" head are used to repeatedly engage and release a gear-like escapement ratchet. , so that the ratchet wheel advances tooth by tooth as it moves. This is the escapement mechanism. This part with the same character as "Y" is called "escape fork", and the two teeth that control the ratchet are called "forks".
The first two parts designed by Zhonglishi were the escapement fork and the escapement ratchet. Just these two simple things made him frustrated.
The first wooden sample tested was the No. 1 testing machine, which ignored other functions and only tested the escapement function. One person pulls the pallet fork back and forth with his hand, and the other person twists the ratchet wheel with his hand to test the movement relationship between the pallet fork and the ratchet wheel. Zhonglishi originally designed the pallet fork to be below the ratchet wheel, because the pendulum is also below. But during the actual test, the pallet fork came off as soon as he let go. Bart, who was responsible for pulling the ratchet, used too much force and swollen his elbow.
Bart's surname is not "Ba". In fact, his birth name is Bart - his father is a Mongolian "Yiding" who was transferred to Guangdong with a certain military commander. Although Battelle was born on the grassland, he grew up by the Pearl River and became a Mongolian who speaks Cantonese. Although he speaks Cantonese and grew up eating rice. But he still looks quite strong. During the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, fifteen-year-old Battelle came to fight as a member of the Ming army and ended up as a prisoner. Then it became Bart.
If Zhong Lishi wanted to make clocks and watches, he couldn't do it alone. He had to have a team of naturalized people. He decided to take on a few apprentices and train them himself. One of them is Bart. The reason is very simple. Zhong Lizhi needs a strong apprentice - the several naturalized apprentices assigned to Zhong Lizhi by the labor force department are all weak people who cannot bear heavy physical labor.
Bart's arm was swollen for several days. In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, Zhongli designed the escapement fork to the top of the ratchet. It later proved that there was no need for him to have a headache over this matter. As long as the pendulum rod and pallet fork were assembled, this problem would not occur. This incident fully made him realize his shortcomings in mechanical performance. For this reason, he went to the sub-large library to read some books on the mechanical processing of watch parts.
He then set out to build the No. 2 escapement testing machine, which was used to test the "transmission" function. "Transmission" means that when the fork shoe of the escapement fork is disengaged from the teeth of the ratchet, the bevel of the fork shoe interacts with the bevel of the teeth of the ratchet wheel, transmitting the power of the ratchet wheel to the escapement fork. The pallet fork transfers this force to the pendulum, allowing the pendulum to gain energy to continue swinging. This experiment was 98% successful. Zhong Li Shirang twisted the ratchet with all his strength. When he opened the pallet fork, the pallet fork bounced strongly to the other side as he designed, and his hand was thrown away. It was swollen - During dinner, Bart was frightened and was rewarded with two chicken thighs.
Test unit No. 3 was used to test the complete pendulum speed regulator. Zhong Lishi built a 10-meter-high wooden platform in the clock workshop, and installed a 4-meter-long pendulum on it. The No. 2 test device was installed on it, and a gap was made at the tail of the pallet fork, which matched with a pin on the lead pendulum of the pendulum.
