Chapter 1263

"How did mojiazi do it?" the little mage was shocked. At this moment, his face no longer had the previous contempt, and his awe of mojiazi increased sharply. Since mojiazi can be accurate to seconds, can it be accurate to how many seconds each minute is, how many seconds each moment is, how many seconds each hour is, or even how many seconds each day, The number of seconds per year can be calculated accurately.

"I think mojiazi has made the answer public." Yin and Yang Zi saw that under the four clocks, a huge pendulum clock was constantly swinging. With one swing, the second hand had moved.

"The Mohist machinery is really magical, and actually thought of such a magical method." the onlookers of Chang'an people also instantly understood this truth. It turned out that the time of each swing of the pendulum is fixed. Mohist Zi defined the time of one swing of the pendulum as one second, which is much better than the Taoist definition of one breath as one second.

"You don't know. It is said that Mohist discovered the principle of pendulum clock and benefited from a love story under the swing." a mysterious gossip of Chang'an people.

"And such things, say it quickly!" the people around immediately coaxed.

"It is said that the senior sister of the Mohist School and his Highness the king of Jin were dating under the swing. After being discovered by the Mohist school, he was not punished. Instead, the Mohist School got the inspiration of pendulum clock from the swing."

At present, the gossip man added fuel and vinegar to explain the principle of Merton's discovery of the pendulum clock. Naturally, he ignored the punishment of Mosha and mertan, but shifted the focus to the dog blood Acacia of Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.

"Er!"

Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect that such a significant invention should be related to a man and a woman swinging under the moon and flowers.

"Who hasn't played on the swing, but we only want to play, but mojiazi can find the truth from it. It's really more popular than people." many people sighed.

"Mozi is just a little quick witted." the little mage of Yin-Yang family refused to accept..

Yin Yang Zi shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "since ancient times, many great deeds have something to do with luck, and Mohist Zi is a person with atmospheric luck. Naturally, he doesn't lack luck. It seems that God is also on the side of Mohist Zi."

Yin Yang family is a connoisseur who plays yundao. Naturally, it can be seen that the yundao of Mohist school is at its zenith. I'm afraid it's even more difficult for Yin Yang family to plunder the Qi of Mohist school.

"Dangdang............................."

At this time, suddenly the bell rang and struck twelve times.

"It's time!" the people around the clock said excitedly.

"No!" Yin and Yang suddenly looked up and looked at the four clocks. Yin and Yang looked at the sun in the south. Now it was exactly three quarters of noon, and the four clocks rang twelve, which was not the order of the twelve hours. What's more, there was absolutely no hour in the two clocks just now.

"One minute is 60 seconds, which is the same as 61 Jiazi's calculation method, but 60 minutes is not enough for an hour. That is to say, mojiazi changed the method of timing." Yin and Yang Zi showed a strange smile. At 12:00, tiangan and dizhi Jiazi chronology is a Chinese tradition for thousands of years, and mojiazi's unauthorized reform of the method of timing will certainly cause an uproar, This time, the luck of the Mohist school will certainly fluctuate, which may make the yin-yang family find a flaw.

"The MOH family changed the method of timing."

With the twelve huge Tianzhu numbers on the four clock around, everyone was in an uproar and more and more began to discuss. They were used to using the method of twelve hour timing, but the Mohist School suddenly changed the time, which made them unacceptable.

Under the four clocks, almost everyone looked at the twelve numbers above, confused and didn't know how to calculate the time.

It's not just that ordinary people are not used to it. Even the Zu Mingjun who participated in the formulation of the four clocks is very not used to it. Looking at the twelve figures in the sky, he can't help smiling bitterly and remembering the debate between him and Mohist Zi over the definition of one second.

If a pendulum clock swings back and forth as one second, but in that case, the time of an hour is exactly 7200 seconds, and the circle is exactly 360 degrees, which can not be divided and measured at all.

Zu Mingjun once proposed to define the time between two pendulums as one second. In this way, an hour is exactly 3600 seconds. Therefore, Zu Mingjun specially asked the children of Mohism whether they can do it with the existing Mohist technology. It is easy for the children of Mohism to pat their chest.

However, when they handed the design they thought was perfect to the Mohist family, they were resolutely opposed by Merton. Up to now, Zu Mingjun still remembers Merton's original words.

"For ordinary people, it doesn't matter whether the definition of a second swings once or twice. However, it has a harmful impact on our hundreds of families for thousands of years. When our ancestors rushed to calculate the circumference, they spent their whole life defining the circumference at 3.1415926. For ordinary people, is there a difference between 3.14 and 3.1415926 No, but why did Zu Chongzhi persist in counting, because this is the precise meaning, the tireless pursuit of all 100 schools and the basis for their continuous progress.

Now we can make the second accurate to one pendulum clock back and forth, but in order to cater to the secular world, we are complacent. We define one second as two pendulum clocks back and forth, and the accuracy is immediately reduced by twice. This is absolutely intolerable, otherwise in the future, our hundred families will be eaten back. " Merton looked grave.

"But 3600 seconds per hour is the most suitable calculation method for the traditional 12 hours!" Zu Mingjun retorted.

Merton said decisively: "the significance of the existence of our 100 schools is to lead the secular world, guide and promote the secular progress, rather than change the knowledge of our 100 schools to cater to the secular vision."

"Then we should not change the method of minute hand calculation." Zu Mingjun said tentatively.

Merton asked, "can we make the minute hand give up the method of Jia Zi timing and walk 120 times?"

Zu Mingjun can't help but, er, that 60 seconds is one minute, 60 minutes is one moment, and one moment is exactly 3600 seconds. It's 360 degrees with the circle. No one is perfect.

Merton said slowly: "In fact, you're right. One hour is 3600 seconds, which is the best choice. Since both minutes and seconds are measured by the method of 61 Jiazi, it's not appropriate to move either one. Divide the hour into two hours. In this way, twelve hours a day can be divided into 24 hours. In this way, it can be perfectly solved by turning the hour hand for two weeks a day 。”

"You have to give up the method of twelve hour timing!"

Zu Mingjun was surprised and looked at Merton strangely. Merton was going to abandon the innovative timing method. If it was spread, it would cause an uproar.

Merton sighed: "since there can only be one choice between Jiazi timing and twelve hour timing, it is more convenient to use the algorithm of giving up twelve hour timing and calculate from one to twelve. In this way, it is intuitive and clear, and can echo with the number of self ringing bells. People only need to hear a few bells to know what time it is now."

"Give up twelve hours and change it to twenty-four hours a day. Will the common people accept it?" Zu Mingjun hesitated.

Merton spread his hands and said, "didn't you suggest that an hour must be 3600 seconds?

Zu Mingjun was stunned. He looked at the bad friend in front of him and exclaimed, "you mean to let me carry this black pot."

Merton said with a smile, "as a mathematician, you can choose whether accuracy is important or secular habits are important!"

Zu Mingjun tangled for a long time, and finally reluctantly bowed his head. As a descendant of the ancestral family, he finally embarked on the old road of his ancestors, because in the world of mathematics, accuracy is greater than everything.

"Master is right!" Wu Meiniang's firm voice came from her ear, which woke Zu Mingjun from his memory.

"Master is right!" Wu Meiniang said firmly again. Since Merton led the Mohist school, he has never made mistakes. This time, the reform can certainly be carried out.

"I hope so!" Zu Mingjun said helplessly. Anyway, he had already carried the black pot on his back. Now he can only go by believing in the Mohist school.
