Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 66 The Heart of the Ocean
Xia Zhi pointed to the seat opposite, motioned for Qi Siyue to sit down and said.

Qi Siyue sat down, looked at the mechanical watch on Xia Zhi's desk and said:
"This is a creation of the 60s, more than 100 years ago, but its time error is within 1 second."

Xia Zhi was a little surprised, and then looked at the plain iron watch in front of him, which had an unusual temperament.

Qi Siyue explained:

"The structure inside and outside the watch is called the tourbillon, which is a clock speed regulating device invented by the Swiss watchmaker Louis Breguet in 1795. The French Tourbillon (so it is also called Tebiron), has the meaning of "vortex" and refers to The mechanical watch equipped with "rotary escapement speed regulating mechanism", the tourbillon mechanism, is to correct the error caused by the gravity of the earth's center. The tourbillon watch represents the highest level in the mechanical watch manufacturing process. The entire escapement adjustment The speed mechanism is combined together and can rotate, and it rotates continuously at a certain speed, so that it can minimize the influence of gravity on the "escapement system" in the mechanical watch and improve the accuracy of travel time. Due to its unique operation mode, It has brought the dynamic artistic beauty of watches to the peak, and has always been known as the "king of watches."

Having said this, Xia Zhi became a little moved.

A small watch, the craftsmanship can be called an art, which reminded him of the Transformers he liked when he was a child.

He picked up the watch and played with it in front of his eyes when he noticed a green stain on the case that couldn't be washed off.

So he asked:
"Where did you get the old stuff from?"

Qi Siyue explained with a smile:

"Mr. Xia, this watch was discovered when our company was surveying the seabed server, and it was reported to the company's finances. It was in the report at the time. Maybe you didn't notice it."

Xia Zhi was taken aback, it turned out that this watch was discovered during the development of the underwater paradise.

That is really a second-hand product from 'scouring'.

Qi Siyue said again:
"I heard from the technicians that it is precisely because of the deep seabed and the effect of gravity and buoyancy that this watch has maintained an extremely accurate time scale for nearly a hundred years on the seabed, which is very meaningful."

Xia Zhi watched Qi Siyue narrate seriously, sticking out her tongue when she encountered something she couldn't remember clearly, which was a little cute.

He nodded, pointed to the strange words engraved on the watch, and asked:

"What does this mean?"

Qi Siyue responded:

"I went to look it up, it's in ancient Roman characters, it's 'Heart of the Ocean', which is the name of the watch."

Xia Zhi smiled and said:

"Heart of the Ocean? Isn't that the name of the sapphire in the Titanic?"

Qi Siyue laughed and said:

"There are tens of thousands of items in the world, and there are always the same names, and I think this watch is more in line with the positioning of the heart of the ocean. Think about it, every movement of the pointer is like the heartbeat of the ocean. In the deep sea, Boom, boom, boom, deep and powerful, steady and punctual."

Xia Zhi thought of something and asked:

"It makes sense, but the watch is designed to be worn by people, but this watch seems to be specially designed to be thrown into the bottom of the sea, and it uses the pressure of the water surface to control the influence of gravity, and it is called the heart of the ocean."

Qi Siyue put up a bingo gesture and said seriously:

"This is the real value. Obviously, this watch is a work of art. It may be waiting for the destined person when it is thrown into the sea. It's like a drift bottle. Do you know the drift bottle?"

Seeing that Qi Siyue was about to praise the watch, Xia Zhi asked:

"You know a lot about watches, why? Like watches?"

As he spoke, he looked at Qi Siyue's wrist. There was no watch, only a simple and elegant silver bracelet.

Qi Siyue smiled and said:

"No, my dad likes to tinker with these things, so I just remembered."

Xia Zhi put the watch back into the box with satisfaction and said:

"It's a nice gift."

Hearing what Xia Zhi said, Qi Siyue smiled. She stood up and asked Xia Zhi if she would take it to the gift shop to wrap it up, which seemed more ritualistic.

Or take it to a special watch repair shop to clean the dial and do some maintenance.

Xia Zhi shook his head, put away the box containing the watch, and said:

"No, I won't give this little thing to Xiaoyu."

Qi Siyue was taken aback, didn't Xia Zhi ask her to choose a gift for Chu Yuqi?Why don't you send it now?

Xia Zhi explained:

"Chu Yuqi is different from you. She definitely doesn't understand the artistic value of this watch. It would be a waste to give it to her. It's better for me to collect it."

Qi Siyue was stunned.

Who is this gift for?
Xia Zhi also said:

"This watch is a good thing. I thought about it. When the underwater park we invested in is completed, we will put this watch in the showcase of the underwater park and return it to its original location."

Qi Siyue nodded, echoing that Mr. Xia has a heart.

Xia Zhi said:
"By the way, I heard from Lao Sun that the new LV bag is very good, and it's not expensive at 10,000+. You bought it for me and packaged it as a gift. I'll give it to Xiaoyu tonight."

Qi Siyue nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll buy it now."

Before leaving, seeing Xia Zhi carefully put the watch away in the safe, Qi Siyue smiled.

As long as Mr. Xia likes it.

After lunch, Xia Zhi came to the advanced research and development department and saw that Wang Jianbao and the others were already working.

It's just that the expression on his face is not good-looking.

Xia Zhi came over and patted Wang Jianbao on the shoulder, and asked:
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"

Wang Jianbao looked back and saw that it was Xia Zhi, and said with a wry smile:

"No, it's because I lost."

Xia Zhi recalled the bet between them last night, and said with a smile:

"Is Zhuang Xu a female?"

Wang Jianbao nodded and pulled up a page on his computer, which was a foreign social software media.

He applied for a foreign account out of boredom this morning, and then searched for the account Zhuang Xu sent in the email, and then he met the real owner.

To everyone's surprise, Zhuang Xu is the beautiful female professor on Caltech's official website, who is turning [-] this year.

Xia Zhi at least guessed the gender correctly, so he won over Wang Jianbao.

Both Wang Jianbao and Xiao Chen, the person in charge of the algorithm competition, guessed the wrong person, so they couldn't eat the meal Mr. Xia invited.

Looking at the female professor named Xu Zhuang in Chinese and Tia in English, Xia Zhi said with emotion:

"Amazing, Caltech's tenured professor, double Ph.D. in mathematics and physics, is simply a replica of Sheldon."

Wang Jianbao said distressedly:
"People are more popular than people. They are obviously majoring in physics and studying mathematics part-time. I didn't expect that the algorithm written by hand would beat us who were born in majors."

Xia Zhi said strangely:

"Jianbao, I remember you majored in liberal arts. It's not a shame to lose."

Wang Jianbao shook his head:

"No, no, it's been almost ten years since I started studying computer algorithms. I'm serious about studying computers."

Xia Zhi smiled, he called his secretary Qi Siyue, and asked Qi Siyue to book him a plane ticket to Los Angeles.
