Chapter 358

What follows is his speculation. The standard watch he saw in the museum in his previous life, whether it is a portable or a standard watch, is not the same as this one. It can only be said that it looks similar. He is not afraid of making mistakes, anyway, people here can't pick his faults.

Everyone looked at it together, and found that it was indeed the case.

There are twelve notches on the bone plate, which means that this clan divides the time of day... at least the time of day into twelve equal parts. This is consistent with the inheritance I got. I wonder if other tribes have the same inheritance knowledge? "

Yan Mo was quite surprised when he saw this watch, not to mention whether this watch is a real watch, because the real watch is generally used to measure the winter solstice and formulate solar terms, that is to say, it is divided according to the projection of the sun. seasons, and use the shortest and longest projected periods to calculate the reincarnation time of the whole year.

But there are twelve notches on this gui plate. Does this mean December, or twelve hours? Is this a coincidence, or is it a secret calculation?

But if it is to indicate the time, because the shadow will move in an arc shape according to the transfer of the sun, it seems that this is impossible to do with a standard watch, so there will be a disc-shaped sundial in later generations.

But if it represents twelve months, with the size of this standard, can its projection really perfectly represent the division of twelve months?

Perhaps this bone tool has other oddities? After all, ordinary watch or sundial can be made of stone or even wood, so why use bone tools?

It happened that he wanted to introduce the concept of time here, so he said that a day can be divided into twelve equal parts or twenty-four equal parts.

Yan Mo remembered that the Yuanji tribe and the Yanshan tribe had their own methods of judging the time. They already knew exactly when the winter was coming and when the chūn arrived.

If some tribes in this world develop faster, they can indeed come to the concept of about 365 days in a year, and then calculate that there are about 29.5 days in a month according to the moon, so that it can be inferred that there are about 12 months in a year. .

Since there are twelve months in a year, ordinary people will naturally divide the time of a day into twelve equal parts for convenience or uniformity, or if they think the number twelve has any special meaning.

Huaxia divided time like this, while ancient Egypt separated day and night, 12 hours in the day and 12 hours in the evening, which became a 24-hour system. After that, the Western society followed the timekeeping rules of ancient Egypt.

Although China and ancient Egypt are far away from each other and have completely different cultures, both have conducted meticulous statistics and investigations on astronomy, and even came to the same result.

When he was young, he wondered why the world is so big, the cultures are different, and the time is the same. It was not until he was in junior high school that he understood this very simple question.

Huaxia also came up with the lunar calendar in order to facilitate and facilitate farming. The lunar calendar is actually a combination of the solar calendar and the yīn calendar. It is completely calculated according to the cycle of the moon around the earth. In terms of farming, the lunar calendar is actually more accurate.

The light of the torches illuminated the shadow of the bone stick.

Someone asked if the light from the torches would work.

Yan Mo shook his head, the light of the torch was useless, and the only way to know the correct time was to look at the sun. In fact, the standard watch is not the most accurate tool to see time, because..." There is also the issue of latitude and longitude.

Because we are in different places, the range that the sun can shine on is also different. "Yan Mo had no choice but to explain it like this. If you want to know whether what I said is correct or not, it is very simple. You will know when it is verified on a sunny day."

No one said Yan Mo was talking nonsense, not even the long-haired young man knew chūn. Even if they want to refute, how should they refute when they don't understand it at all? And they also felt that it didn't seem like something made up by a teenager.

Moore Gān knew the purpose and usage of this bone tool without paying any price, and was very happy. They have the concept of time, but they did not subdivide it, only roughly divided the morning, noon and evening. Now that there is this standard watch, if nothing else, the priest will be very satisfied.

The other tribes were a little jealous of Moor, and even felt that they had taken advantage of Jiuyuan.

Qi Yuan himself also felt that Jiāo Yi, the slave of Jiuyuan and Jiuyuan, must give each other some benefits, otherwise he would not be able to justify himself here.

With everyone's acquiescence, Yan Mo naturally walked to the stone platform and picked a bone tool.

However, he didn't choose the fish bone fossil he was interested in before, but took the bone stick, just this one. It looked quite sturdy and easy to carry. It was really useless and could be used to beat people. "

Others thought that Yan Mo might also want to choose that standard watch, but Moor was one step ahead of him, so he had to pick one at random. The disc is also good, but it looks too heavy, and it is normal for the boy to choose the bone stick.

Only the elders of the snake people don't think so. She felt a little strange about the bone stick at first, but she didn't notice any ingenuity in it for a long time, so she thought she had read it wrong.

But now... she swears that there must be something weird about that bone stick! It's a pity that the bone stick has now been in Jiuyuan's hands.

There are two bone tools left on the stone platform.

The long-haired young man waited for a while, wanting to see if anyone could meet the other conditions, but no one spoke at this time.

And Qi Yuan, who had been pinning his hopes on him, is now unwilling to even look at him, obviously not wanting to tell the whereabouts of the mermaid and offend Jiuyuan

.

And this undoubtedly shows that the mermaid that Qi Yuan knows has a great relationship with Jiuyuan, and it is very likely that it is the same one that Jiuyuan knows.

Knowing that he was helpless, he didn't want to lower the conditions to agree to Yan Mo's suggestion, but now if he doesn't agree, they will probably completely lose the chance to know the whereabouts of Wu Yun's fruit.

In desperation, Zhichūn had no choice but to ask the young man again, did you just say you can invite mermaids to see us? "

Yes. "

Well, if you can invite the mermaid to meet us, I can exchange a bone tool with you. "

two pieces. "

What? ! " Zhi chūn was furious.

Yan Mo stretched his waist and stood up. If you want to do whatever you want, we have been unable to meet the other conditions you mentioned. In this case, it would be boring to stay. Ah Zhan, let's go back. I heard that the rain outside seems to have stopped. I can change something before it gets dark. "

it is good. Yuan Zhan followed Yan Mo to the outside of the tent. As soon as they left, the chair immediately turned into dust and shattered and disappeared.

Rabbit Roar stopped watching the fun, and immediately said hello to Moore and left.

Then the Yeqiu and Bianxi people also left the tent.

The huángjing tribe and the snake people left to ask Zhichūn if they could use Yuanjing jiāo in exchange for the remaining two bone tools.

Zhi chūn shook his head when he thought of Da Wu's jiāo generation.

Seeing this, the Huáng Jing tribe and the Snake People did not ask for anything, and they all left.

In the end, only Moor and Ding Yue remained.

Knowing that chūn still wanted to work hard, he asked Qi Yuan again, and even expressed his willingness to use two bone tools as a jiāo exchange.

Elder Mogān was very tempted, but Qi Yuan thought about it again and again. Compared with Jiuyuan, who had red salt, would trade a lot of slaves with him, and would be of great help to him, the weight of two bone tools that were of no use to him was natural Just lean towards Jiuyuan.

The rain had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.

After walking out of the tent for some distance, Yuan Zhan looked back and said, "Moore stayed. "

Yan Mo smiled, he had long expected this to happen.

Aren't you worried that Qi Yuan and Ding Yue will make that jiāo yi? "

Are you worried? "

Yuan Zhan lowered his eyes, his eyes made people want to beat him.

If Qi Yuan was just a small person, he might be. But it seems that his status in the Moorish gān should be quite noble, so he may not betray us 90% of the time. If he sells..."

We also just have a reason to fight with them, and then rob them..." Yuan Zhan suddenly stopped.

Amer, wait! "The elder of the Snake People and Bai Yan caught up with the two of them, and they said: You know the purpose of the watch, can you make it too? If you can, can you help us make one?"

The Huáng Jing tribe, who was about to walk past, heard the words, and immediately slowed down and stopped.

How could Yan Mo refuse the business, and it is not difficult to make a standard watch, yes, but it is indeed difficult to make a standard watch, we only need Yuanjing. "

People from the Huáng Jing tribe raised their eyebrows, this young man can make bone tools?

The snake man elder agreed: Yes! How many yuan crystal coins do you want? "

How many yuan crystal coins does a bone tool like Sancheng cost? "

Elder Snake Man thought for a while and answered honestly: ordinary weapons in bone tools are more expensive, but the standard watch is something that has never appeared before. I can give you a fifth-level crystal coin according to the value of the fifth-level bone tool. "

Yan Mo didn't know whether the price was high or low, but he thought that the elders of the snake people would not lie to him, and even said it was possible that the price was slightly higher, so he quickly agreed to the price exchange.

Seeing this, the Huáng Jing tribe also decided to order one.

Rabbit Roar smirked, he wanted it very much, but Tuya didn't have many yuan crystal coins.

Yan Mo patted him and gave me your bones and fur, and I will make one for you too. "

Happy Rabbit Roar!

Yan Mo did not stay away from these three businesses, and he still had to wait for Qi Yuan to come out and finalize the slaves he had previously ordered.

Jie--! "

Jiufeng seemed to have been hovering in the sky for a while, and when he saw Yan Mo, he rushed down immediately, Jie! Silently, the fast two-legged monster can't run fast anymore, he is hanged! "

Chapter 242 Cursed Bone Tool

Yan Mo hurriedly held Jiufeng in his hands and asked where he saw Meng.

Jiufeng made a grunting sound in his throat, and it seemed that he was very happy to see Meng being hanged up.

You didn't rescue him easily? "Yan Mo couldn't help laughing and crying.

Jiufeng made a strange laughter like people, Jie Jie! "

Where the hell is he? Is it far from here? "

Gulugulu, by the small lake on the other side of the mountain. "

Mountain? You mean the mountain where we stopped before? "Yan Mo will mention that mountain, because that mountain is the highest in the vicinity for a hundred miles.
