Doomsday Code

Chapter 760 Multi-stage Gear

Chen Cheng picked up the mechanical watch on the table, checked the time, and then said with a confident smile:

"All right."

When Yurikin saw that Chen Cheng was really comparing this thing, which was about the size of an egg, with his mechanical buffalo, he couldn't help but smile.

"My apologies, Your Majesty. But did you know that the smaller this object is, the fewer mechanical parts it can contain, and the simpler its function will naturally be?"

Although Yurikin was very angry that Chen Cheng had said that he did not live up to his reputation, he still reminded Chen Cheng when he saw Chen Cheng's serious attitude towards machinery.

Bourne and the others also sighed at this time, because they had all seen how magical Yurikin's mechanical buffalo was.

“Well, maybe in a sense you are quite right, but I want to tell you that when machinery develops to a certain stage, bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better.

A true mechanical creation should be one that has the necessary functions while minimizing its size as much as possible."

To a layman, Chen Cheng's words may not mean much, but to a master like Yurikin, he certainly knows that what Chen Cheng said is the ultimate ideal pursued by them as craftsmen.

So Yurikin improved the method of making a mechanical buffalo passed down from his father, transforming it from the size of two buffaloes to the size of one buffalo today, while still retaining its original functions.

But he still couldn't believe that Chen Cheng could defeat him with something the size of an egg.

"Alright, Your Majesty, although what you said makes sense, it's competition time now, so let's start the competition."

Chen Cheng also wanted to see what the mechanical buffalo built by Yurikin could do, so he nodded and said:

"Since you created it first, you should be given priority."

Yurikin didn't say anything and agreed directly.

Then he was seen taking out a huge metal key, and then riding on the bull's back, inserting the key into the keyhole on the bull's back.

As he turned, the big guy soon started moving on his own without any magic power.

Although they had seen Yurikin's mechanical buffalo before, Dean and the others were still shocked by this magical mechanical creation when they saw it again.

After walking a few steps, Yurikin put down the rotating key in his hand, and the buffalo slowly stopped. Then he turned his head to look at Chen Cheng behind him, wanting to see his surprised expression.

However, Chen Cheng was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was right.

"Mechanical transmission power. Your buffalo must have used a lot of graded gears. The force of your manual rotation is transmitted and amplified through the graded gears to make this iron thing move."

Chen Cheng's words scared Yurijin directly. This gear-graded amplification and transmission was their family's secret, but he didn't expect that Chen Cheng would say it so easily.

Although it was just a simple lever principle, Chen Cheng couldn't help but applaud Yurikin's craftsmanship.

It was obvious that Yurikin had mastered extremely advanced multi-stage gear technology. Otherwise, based on the steps the mechanical buffalo took just now, an average person might not be able to get the big guy to lift his feet even if they broke their arms.

"One more thing. The distance you just covered took you forty-three seconds."

Chen Cheng glanced at the mechanical watch in his hand, and then reported an exact time number.

At this moment, Yurikin no longer dared to underestimate His Majesty the Emperor.

He jumped off the back of the mechanical bull and came in front of Chen Cheng. Seeing this, Sheli stood in front of Chen Cheng to prevent him from getting close.

"It's okay, Sheli."

Yurikin came to Chen Cheng, panting and looking at him for a long time, then he bowed deeply and said to Chen Cheng:

"I lost, Your Majesty."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Don't admit defeat so quickly. I have to show you what I have made."

As he said this, he handed the mechanical watch in his hand to Yurikin.

Take the mechanical watch.

Chen Cheng made this mechanical watch with a hollow design, so you can see the internal mechanical transmission at a glance.

When Yurikin saw the number of parts assembled in this small watch, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

There was no need to look at the mechanical watch to see if it was accurate or not. It was beyond his ability to make such a tiny and complex mechanical device move perfectly.

"This is a mechanical watch, just like your mechanical bull, it relies on a clockwork mechanism, but this one utilizes the gravity of our world, so it doesn't need someone to constantly turn it like your mechanical bull does.

Its function is also very simple, which is to check the current time and act as a timer. "

"Of course, because we don't have complete equipment, the metal used to make the coils inside this watch will fatigue, and the time will probably be off after a week. At that time, the watch will need to be adjusted."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng took out a small clockwork from the workbench and said:

"When the time comes, just do this: insert the spring into the hole on the side and rotate it a few times. Then, just wait for the real time you calculated in your mind and pull it out."

Chen Cheng demonstrated to Yurikin as he spoke.

The mechanical watch made by Chen Cheng was actually very simple. Not only could the time not be adjusted at any time, but even winding it required an additional spring.

Apart from telling time, its only function is timing.

“Of course, this is not the most perfect thing. The most perfect thing is that you don’t need this spring. You can build it directly into the watch, and you can use it to adjust the hour and minute hands, and display the calendar at the same time.

And its error will not exceed 0 second in a year."

Chen Cheng's last words were just empty promises to Yurikin. With current technology, it is impossible to make a purely mechanical watch as precise as he said.

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he stretched and then came to the mechanical buffalo.

"Your mechanical buffalo is amazing. I have a set of mechanical blueprints for a similar vehicle. I wonder if you can help me restore it."

When Chen Cheng saw the mechanical buffalo, it reminded him of the cars he knew in his previous life.

He certainly couldn't design the industrial cars of his previous life, and even if he could, he couldn't find oil for the engine.

What Chen Cheng asked Yuri Jin to build was the bicycle that everyone knew in the previous life.

Don't underestimate this thing. The carrying capacity of a bicycle does not depend on the size of the back seat, but on the strength of the cyclist.

Just like the African Odebiao who became popular on the Internet in his previous life, he relied on a bicycle to support himself and his family.

Bicycles not only make up for the lack of transportation capacity caused by horses, but also serve as a means of rapid support.

After all, their goal here in the future is not to fight the enemy head-on, but to serve as a rear base to export supplies.

Once these thousand soldiers are really spread out, with the help of bicycles, the local teams formed will be able to rely on the speed of mountain bikes to fight guerrilla warfare against the enemy.

When Yurikin heard Chen Cheng's words, he agreed without thinking.
