The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 279 279. Celestial Clock
The clear sea is sparkling, and seabirds are flying by the sea breeze. Under the golden dusk, the sea is filled with a kind of quiet beauty. The tranquility of the sunset is like a bunch of gentle beams. If you look down from the sky of [-] meters, you will see The tiny black dots are like ink dots on a piece of white paper. If you get close and can see the inside of the ink, you will find that there is a huge island.

Forests, mountains, and clear springs are distinct, as are high-rise buildings, machinery factories, and docks and ports.

On this island, there is both a primitive and natural natural environment and a bustling entertainment element, but it seems to be frozen.

At this moment when everything seemed to be silent, a crisp sound of boom broke the frozen picture, just like the movie being played was canceled and paused, and everything in the world came alive again.

It's... the sound of the clock striking.

The sound spread to the surroundings, and the entire island could hear it. The bell that made the sound was a clock located in the center of an extremely prosperous town by the sea.

It was a huge clock tower with a height of 30 meters, extending from the bottom to the top floor like a huge stone pillar, and at the top was a huge circular clock.

Because of the impact caused by the golden hands in the center of the clock, after the impact sounded, the inside of the clock began to change.

The diameter of this huge circular dial has reached 4 meters. The outer contour of the dial is isolated by transparent glass, surrounded by gold and silver borders.

Inside the circular dial with a diameter of four meters, there is a calendar dial and a celestial dial mixed together but clearly separated. In the middle of the separation between the two, there is a curved black line separating the two. On the whole, this circle The round dial is like a Tai Chi pattern. The calendar dial is currently on the far left, occupying half the area of ​​the circular dial, and the celestial dial is on the far right, also occupying the remaining half of the area.

Looking at the overall outline first, there is a golden pointer with a length of more than two meters in the center of the huge circular dial, but there is no sign of this pointer turning at the moment.

Three black pointers are installed in the leftmost calendar dial. The pointer lengths are 1.4 meters, 1.2 meters, and 1 meter respectively. These three pointers will only rotate within the range of the calendar dial and will not rotate to the celestial dial on the other side.

Looking at the internal specifications and structure of the calendar dial, there are three dials with a diameter of about 1.5 meters and three dials with a diameter of less than one meter installed inside the calendar dial. The black hands of one point to positions ranging from I (1) to XII (12) on the scale, because this is the scale of day and night time.

The complexity of the internal structure of the calendar dial alone brings out the value of this clock tower.

The other half of the celestial body dial, although the layout is relatively simple, but the internal specifications and structure are more complicated than the calendar dial.

Within the scope of the celestial body dial on the far right, the inner sun disk, moon disk, and astrolabe are installed respectively, with a diameter of 2.2 meters, and within the range of the celestial body dial, three pointers with lengths of 1.4 meters, 1.2 meters, and 1 meter are respectively installed. The three pointers point to the three dials of the sun, moon and stars. When turning, the movement trajectory will not deviate from the dial of the celestial body, and they will alternately rotate on the three dials of the sun, moon and stars.

The sun disk is a golden sun, which is a golden circular pattern with a diameter of 2.2 meters. There is only one golden pointer inside. This golden pointer stays at the twelve o'clock position, and precise hinges are installed at the root of the golden pointer. Screws and gear screws, the bottom of the screw is connected to a slender metal wire, it is through the rotation of this hinge and the power of the gear, and this metal wire drives the overall operation of the celestial body and the calendar dial.

Although the hinge screws and gear screws are installed in the sun dial, the rotation of the sun dial will drive the rotation of the celestial body dial, and the rotation of the celestial body dial will be linked to the calendar dial on the other side, so the circular dial will also run at the same time.

Below the sun disk at 45 degrees is the moon disk. The moon disk is moon white, with different colors, but much darker than the sun disk, with a diameter of 2.2 meters. Inside the moon disk is a black pointer, and the base of the pointer is wrapped with a metal wire.

The bottom is the astrolabe. The astrolabe as a whole is far more complicated than the sum of the sun and the moon, especially in the dial with a diameter of 2.2 meters, from twelve o’clock to six o’clock, respectively. There are different patterns of stars distributed, the pattern of the layout is like the stars in the orbit of the starry sky, and the pointer is shaking slowly in the center.

The astrolabe is dark blue, and the hands are the most eye-catching, looking like a blue star.

While the celestial body dial and the calendar dial are separated, they are also integrated with each other, especially when the entire dial rotates, the curve that divides the two dials will also move accordingly, and the positions of the celestial body dial and the calendar dial It will also switch up, down, left, and right because of this, so it is said that the two are mixed together.

This huge dial occupies all the area on the top of the clock tower. The height of 30 meters is unique on this island, and it is also the most amazing scenery on this island.

Just after the golden pointer in the center of the dial sounded completely, the dial in the original shape began to change.

The first thing that reacted was the sun dial inside the celestial body watch. After the hinge screw of the sun dial clicked, it was fastened with the gear screw, power was transmitted, and then the metal wire was straightened instantly, so the golden pointer began to rotate faster, and At this time, the moon disk connected with the metal wire also received this pulling force at the same time, and the black pointer of the moon disk also started to rotate at the same time.

After that, the power was finally transmitted to the inside of the astrolabe, and the blue pointer began to rotate, rubbing...

The sun, moon, and star three-dial hands accelerated their rotation speed, and inside the outer celestial body dial, the larger three-dial hands also began to rotate.

The celestial body dial started to run completely, and the opposite calendar dial was also driven by the power of the celestial body dial.

At this time, the huge dial is divided into two parts by the curve in the center. The calendar dial and the celestial body dial are always changing the range of operation, sometimes opposing left and right, sometimes opposing up and down, sometimes right and left, sometimes up and down, and the position follows the pointer. Rotation changes.

However, the huge two-meter-long pointer in the center finally turned for the first time at this time. First, it circled the calendar scale on the calendar dial: I (1) to XII (12) along the way. The sun, moon and star three discs rotate.

Clap, rub, rub... the pointer rotates faster, and at this moment, ding...

The largest pointer stopped, and there was a crisp metal impact sound, and then there was a sudden shock in the air, and a huge beam of light gradually formed in the dial.
