Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen didn't know the relationship between father and son, and then said: "The thing you made is not accurate. We still need to adjust the parts inside. Draw the drawings and let's discuss it and see where it is. It affects the accuracy of this thing.”

Chen Xinyang ran up to Ye Zifen and asked her: "Before you do this, can you tell me what this thing my father got is for?"

Ye Zifen smiled and wanted to touch his head, but she put her hand down again when she thought he was a boy.

He replied: "This thing records time. Logically speaking, after it is made, it should correspond to the twelve hours of the day. But I have been here for such a long time and saw the position of the clock, but I did not find that its accuracy is that bad." How high. So we need to adjust it to the accuracy of the twelve hours of the day."

Then Ye Zifen casually drew a circle on a piece of paper, and then divided the entire paper into twelve equal parts with a brush.

He picked up the paper he drew, raised it and said to Chen Lixing: "Did you see the disk I drew? The pointer above you should correspond to every position on it, and the position you correspond to should be exactly the same as ours now. It corresponds to the time we are in.”

There are no scales on the clocks made by Chen Lixing. The background is just a painting, and the hands on it rotate just to tell others that this thing can move.

So he didn't know how to describe what he made.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

He immediately sighed loudly: "Little girl, you are so smart that you can think of using this thing to record time. If you have this thing, you don't need to use an hourglass anymore."

"Of course! Why would anyone still use an hourglass when there is something more accurate? Do you want to open it now and let's see which part is causing the inaccurate scale of your thing!"

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, he looked at Chen Lixing.

Chen Li walked over, took the clock off the table, and said while disassembling its casing: "I already know roughly which part it is, but I don't have a spare for this part, and I need to make it again."

Chen Xinyang looked at his father like a fool and said: "It's useless to have a spare. Since this one is not suitable, then even if you prepare a spare, it will definitely not be suitable. You have to study it again."

Chen Lixing's men paused for a moment, not expecting that their son would really teach him a lesson this time.

The old detective curled his lips and looked at his son with disgust on his face, thinking: 'This is his own son, otherwise he would just throw him out, and he would be worse than a child of several years old. ’

After Chen Lixing opened the casing of the clock, he pointed at an iron piece and said, "This thing should be the reason why its hands don't match the twelve hours. Maybe I can do it after I study its hardness." It’s accurate.”

Liu Dianshi looked shocked when he looked at the densely packed things inside that he didn't understand.

He didn't expect that there would be so many parts in a small thing, some big and some small, some wide and some narrow.

The most important thing is that the parts fit together just right.

Now he somewhat believes that the drawing drawn by Ye Zifen can be realized.

Ye Zifen raised the contract in his hand and said to Chen Lixing: "I will give you a month to complete the scale and make the pointer accurately move to every hour. Then I will mass-produce these parts using the drawings. , I hope we can make money by then!”

"A month? Okay, I promise to complete this task!"

The two of them agreed as if no one was there, and Chen Lixing would start work immediately.

Liu Dianshi came to Ye Zifen and asked her: "Do you think it is a good decision to let my brother Chen participate in the county's technology research?"

Zi Zifen looked at the other objects in the room, and even took apart some things that she couldn't understand, just to see which aspect of Chen Lixing had the advantage.

After looking around, she found that Chen Lixin had a very good grasp of the basic principles of various gear combinations and levers and pulleys. As for the rest, she could sum it up with the words "not very flexible."

"After he joins the research, he can solve some of the problems caused by the windmill. But my suggestion to you is that it will be more helpful to you if you let the child participate."

When the old catcher heard this, he immediately looked at his eldest grandson like a baby.

"Miss Ye, what do you mean?"

Ye Zifen replied: "Ice water is colder than water because of it, green comes from blue and is better than blue!"

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, the corners of the old detective's mouth almost reached behind his ears.

Chen Lixing rushed to ask: "What about me, why am I not suitable to go?"

"Don't you need to study this clock? If you can study it in a month, you can go directly to the Yamen to help. If you can't study it, you can just stay here and study it."

Ye Zifen made the final decision.

Chen Lixing curled his lips and did not dare to refute.

Although he met this little girl for the first time today, it can be seen from the conversation between the two that Ye Zifen is a person who speaks his mind and he would not dare to provoke such a woman.

His wife was such a gentle woman, she could control him to death sometimes when she was angry, let alone such a powerful businessman, she was also his financial backer!

"Hey, don't deny me the right to speak just because I'm young, okay? I haven't expressed my position yet, and you just decided so easily?"

At this time, Chen Xinyang said a little unconvinced.

Ye Zifen actually likes Chen Xinyang very much.

First, because he is not very old, but he is able to learn the basic theories of his father and learn them solidly.

The second is because he can start from reality and use the knowledge he has learned to solve real-life problems.

Ye Zifen has already seen the things he made. Don't look at the things he made as simple, but the theories used in them are more complicated than the things Chen Lixing made.

For example, the lifting rod he made in front of him is just a device for drying clothes, but its principle is similar to the conveyor belt mentioned by Ye Zifen.

So if the father and son join forces, they will have solved the problem of driving the windmill and the problem of the conveyor belt.

But why didn’t Ye Zifen ask them to go to the Yamen immediately?

One is because the first thing people need to do is to dig the major ditches in the county.

The second reason is that the construction of the reservoir will take a long time.

According to Ye Zifen, if only manpower was used to dig the reservoir she painted, it would take at least four to five years.

The excavation of a reservoir and the excavation of a pond are not problems that need to be solved in the same concept at all, they are completely different.

Even though everyone in the county government was very confident in describing the reservoir as a pond, only when they did it themselves would they realize that they were completely different.

Therefore, if all the manpower is put into a longer-term project, it is better to let them solve the immediate problems first, such as food and clothing.
