The Pirate: The Black Duke

The clear sea is shimmering, and seabirds are flying in the sea breeze. Under the golden dusk, the sea is filled with a kind of peaceful beauty. The tranquility of the sunset is like a stack of gentle light beams. If you look down from the sky of 10,000 meters, you can see The tiny black dots are like ink stains dotted on a piece of white paper. If you get close and you can see the inside of the ink stain, you will find that it 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 a primitive and natural natural environment as well as prosperous entertainment elements, but it seems to be frozen.

At this moment when everything seemed to be silent, a crisp sound of bang broke the freeze frame, just as the movie was canceled and paused, and everything in the world came back to life.

This is... the sound of a clock ringing.

The sound spread to the surroundings, and the entire island could be heard. The sound of this bell was a clock located in the center of an extremely prosperous town by the sea.

It was a huge clock tower 30 meters high, extending from the bottom to the top like a huge stone pillar, and at the top was a huge round 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.

This huge round dial has a diameter of 4 meters. The outer contour of the dial is isolated by transparent glass, surrounded by gold and silver borders.

Inside the four-meter-diameter round dial, there is a mixed but distinct isolation pattern between the calendar dial and the celestial dial. In the middle of the isolation between the two, there is a curved black line separating the two. On the whole, this circle The dial is like a Tai Chi pattern. Currently, the calendar dial is located on the far left, which occupies half the area of ​​the circular dial, and the celestial dial on the far right also occupies the remaining half.

Looking at the overall outline, there is a golden pointer that is more than two meters long in the center of the huge circular dial, but at present, there is no sign of turning the pointer.

Three black hands 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, three dials with a diameter of about 1.5 meters and three dials with a diameter of less than one meter are installed inside the calendar dial. Of the six dials of different sizes, each has three lengths. The different black pointers point to positions ranging from I (1) to XII (12), because this is the scale of day and night time.

The complexity of the internal structure of the calendar dial reveals the value of this clock tower.

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

In the range of the celestial dial on the far right, the inner sun dial, the moon dial, and the astrolabe are respectively installed with a diameter of 2.2 meters. In the range of the celestial dial, there are also three pointers with lengths of 1.4 meters, 1.2 meters and 1 meter. The three pointers point to the sun, moon and star three discs. When rotating, the trajectory will not deviate from the celestial dial, and will rotate alternately on the three sun, moon and star dials.

The sun disc is a golden sun with a golden circular pattern with a diameter of 2.2 meters. There is only a golden pointer inside. This golden pointer stays at the twelve o'clock position, and precision hinges are installed at the roots of the golden hands. Screws and gear screws, the bottom of the screw is connected to a slender metal wire. It is through the rotation of the hinge and gear force that the 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 date plate, the rotation of the date plate will drive the rotation of the celestial dial, and the rotation of the celestial dial will be linked to the calendar dial on the other side, so the round dial will run at the same time.

Below forty-five degrees of the sun disc is the moon disc. The moon disc is white with a different color, but it is much darker than the sun disc. It is 2.2 meters in diameter. The inner part of the moon disc is a black pointer, and the root of the pointer is wrapped with metal. line.

At the bottom is the astrolabe. On the whole, the astrolabe is far more complicated than the sun and moon disks combined, especially in the 2.2-meter-diameter dial, from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock, respectively. There are different star patterns, the layout pattern is like the stars in the starry sky orbit, and the pointer is slowly shaking in the center.

The astrolabe is dark blue, and the pointer is the most eye-catching, it looks like a blue star.

While the celestial dial and the calendar dial are separated, they are also fused with each other, especially when the entire dial rotates, the curve that divides the two dials will also move with it. The position of the celestial dial and the calendar dial It will also be exchanged up and down, left and right, so 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 stunning 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 reaction was the sun plate inside the celestial watch. After the hinge screw of the sun plate clicked, it buckled with the gear screw, and the power was transmitted. Then the metal wire was instantly straightened, so the golden pointer began to rotate faster, and At this time, the moon disc linked to the metal wire also received this pulling force, and the black hands of the moon disc began 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 three hands of the sun, moon and stars speed up the rotation speed, and in the outer celestial dial, the three larger hands also begin to rotate.

The celestial dial is fully operational, and the opposite calendar dial is also driven by the power of the celestial dial.

At this time, the huge dial is divided into two by the curve in the center. The range of the calendar dial and the celestial dial is constantly changing. One will oppose left and right, one will oppose up and down, one will be right and left, and another will be up and down. The position follows the pointer. The rotation changes.

However, the huge two-meter-long pointer in the center finally turned around for the first time at this time. It first revolved around the calendar scale in the calendar dial: I (1) to XII (12), and then moved on the celestial dial. The sun, moon and stars rotate in three discs.

Ceng Ceng Ceng... The pointer rotates faster, at this moment, Ding...

The largest pointer paused, making a sharp metal crash, and then there was a sudden shock in the air, and a huge beam of light gradually formed in the dial.
