For the rune magician who has already played the rune array [rotation], a mere clock is a piece of cake.

Just two days after the Lord gave the order, the Institute of Rune came up with the first mature sample.

This magic clock looks silly and bulky, but its style is not much different from modern clocks. It has a round wooden dial with a circle of scales around it. Three hands represent hour, minute and second respectively.

The magic clock also uses another magic power black technology, Rune array [psionic power].

It is based on the rune array, the latest development of Rune technology. It can release the mental power stored in advance slowly, which is equivalent to a special battery. It only stores mental power instead of electric energy.

The function of this kind of Rune array is to replace the human battery.

A big guy like construction machinery needs a special driver to operate it. Naturally, it doesn''t need a rune battery. But the clock can''t let a person keep it all the time.

If there is such a profession as "clock operator", it would be ridiculous.

In addition, the development of magic clock has another important purpose, making money!

Once the thermal magic power ship is put into use and the ocean going business line is successfully established, magic clock, a "high-tech" product, will bring him a lot of money.

The Lord has even thought about the future brand of watches and clocks. He also has a high-level match and takes a differentiated marketing strategy to catch all consumers.

In the near future, Patek Philippe, Rolex, Tisuo and other brands will take root in foreign countries.

There are clocks and watches in the world, but they use escapement, a pure mechanical mechanism.

If there is a high enough level of mechanical manufacturing, then escapement is nothing, and the mechanical watch on the earth is very moist, isn''t it?

Unfortunately, the accumulation of foreign watchmakers in this field is far from qualified. Their clocks have a high failure rate and are extremely inconvenient to use.

Many nobles and merchants even had to hire a craftsman who specialized in clock maintenance.

In terms of reliability, magic clock can lift mechanical clocks.

Its core structure is a rune disk and several gears. Its structure is surprisingly simple. The simpler the structure is, the lower the possibility of failure is. Since the first magic clock was invented, it has never had a failure.

In terms of ease of use, magic clock also has great advantages. Although it uses magic stone, which is not cheap energy, a small piece of magic stone can be used for at least 2 or 3 months, which can be shared every day, and the cost is also very low.

If the magic stone is consumed, you just need to open the small door where the magic stone is placed and replace it with a piece of magic stone. Fools know how to do it, and there is no need for professional maintenance personnel.

In terms of manufacturing cost, mechanical clocks also have no advantage.

Every part of mechanical clock is handmade by watchmaker, which is inefficient. After assembly, it needs to be debugged repeatedly. If the size of a part is not accurate, it even needs to be remade.

Clockmakers need at least a week to complete a mechanical clock.

The huge time cost and labor cost make the price of mechanical clock very high. Even the simplest mechanical clock costs more than 20 Silver nals.

Magic clock, on the other hand, requires more manpower except for rune disc. All other parts are manufactured by machines, and the processing speed is amazing. If the production line is used, hundreds of them can be manufactured in one day.

The time for a clock maker to roll a mechanical clock can be at least 2000 in the assembly line. The word "Wanchai" is not enough to describe the huge gap.

Different manufacturing methods will extend to another problem, maintainability.

If the magic clock breaks down, it''s enough to replace one or several parts. The most stupid maintenance personnel can fix it in 10 minutes.

Can the parts of the mechanical clock be changed?

feel shy, just look as like as two peas of the same magic clock, and even if you are from the same watchmaker, you will never find two identical parts! Two

It''s handmade. It''s willful!

So what?

If the customer is in a hurry, three days should be enough. In case of a watchmaker with a bad temper, please come back in a week.

That''s right. That''s how the alien watchmaker carries it. He loves repairing, but he doesn''t want to roll!

However, from the moment when the magic clock was born, there were few days left for these people to hang their hair.

Of course, the Lord is happy to hear about it. The elimination of handicraft industry is the innate mission of a mechanical dog.

BB party believes in "more is beautiful, bigger is good", while Renault firmly believes in "the best machine, the most beautiful assembly line". In addition, they are all heretics!

In his eyes, all the craftsmen in all industries are heretics!

Heresy, must die!The camera returns to the deck of Odin. When the sailors use the magic clock to time, chief mate Ludford holds the cylinder on his shoulder, and one end of the cylinder is aimed at the red wooden ball in the sea.

In the middle of the cylinder was a binoculars like thing. Ludford''s head came up, his eyes were close to the binoculars, and he whispered something.

This cylinder is an optical rangefinder manufactured by Renault.

The purpose of Odin''s trial voyage is not only to verify whether the thermal magic power ship can withstand the turbulence, but also to measure the ship''s speed.

How to measure it?

Throw a knotted rope into the water like a sailor in the middle ages of the earth?

You''re kidding! Is

IQ less intelligent than medieval woodlouse?

The dignity of mechanical dog can''t be lightly insulted. It''s absolutely impossible to lose the rope!

So Renault chose the optical rangefinder, plus the magic clock.

Speed depends on time and distance, magic clock is used to measure time, distance is done by optical rangefinder.

Optical rangefinder sounds very tall, but its basic principle is very simple, that is, triangulation.

There is a periscope at the left and right ends of the rangefinder. The distance between the two objective lenses is the baseline. Its length is fixed. Each periscope forms a straight line with the target and forms a certain angle with the baseline.

The two lines plus the baseline just form a triangle, and the height of the triangle is the target distance.

Is this a difficult question?

It''s not difficult at all. Junior high school students on earth can easily handle it.

The difficulty lies in manufacturing. Optical distance measurement requires a high precision. It''s very appropriate to use it.

But for Renault, there is no difficulty in making such a thing precisely. With the help of the power of thinking, it is more troublesome to make it imprecisely.

It took him less than half a day to turn the design into a real object. The next debugging took him two days. Then, another great invention of the LORD was born.

Considering the convenience of use and the fact that illiterate people from other countries are everywhere, Renault also carefully engraved the distance ruler in the observation window of the rangefinder. The user only needs to read directly according to the observation results.

In addition, the development of this simple rangefinder can also accumulate experience for other types of rangefinders.

For example, the large range finder used in artillery.

No, it should be called the gas gun rangefinder in the alien world. This kind of big guy is often more than 10 meters long and more complicated than this rangefinder.

After a while, Ludford took aim with the range finder, and suddenly cried out: "target 1 km, stop timing!"

A sailor quickly announced the time: "2 minutes 32 seconds!"

Rutherford carefully handed the range finder to another sailor, took out pen and paper from his pocket, and began to write and draw on the paper with a sad face.

If it wasn''t for Mr. Elon''s saying that mathematics is a necessary tool to become a qualified captain, he really didn''t want to touch this tormenting thing at all.

Then a clear voice came down from the mast: "speed 13 knots..."

A group of people raised their heads and looked at the figure on the top of the mast. They bowed in a hurry: "Lord..."

Renault is about to say something, he suddenly felt something, eyes involuntarily glance to the distant sea.

More than 200 meters ahead, there was a slight abnormality in the spray on the sea, which ordinary people could not see at all, but in Renault''s view, everything was very delicate.

He did not want to drink: "turbulence is about to appear ahead, you all hold on to it..."

The sailors scurried to the railings, checking the safety ropes as they ran.
