Zhu Shirong and Cao An thought it was some kind of experimental equipment, so they returned to their seats and waited for the report to begin.

Gradually, they realized something was wrong and quickly ran to the stage to observe what Xie Yan was doing up close.

I saw Xie Yan taking apart the outer layer of cotton cloth, peeling off the cotton wrapped in the cotton cloth, and then taking apart another layer of cotton cloth, which was still wrapped in cotton.

It was opened layer by layer, and the innermost part was wrapped in silk. It turned out to be a small tray for a balance.

Just like this, layer by layer was dismantled, and strange parts were quickly removed. It seemed to be a balance arm, but it was too short.

Continue to unpack, and even the weights are wrapped in layers.

How many pieces of glass are there?

Xie Yan first assembled a glass box with wooden frames on all sides and small doors on the left and right that can be opened.

Zhu Shirong pointed to a small cloth bag and asked: "What's in it?"

Xie Yan said: "Charcoal. Whether it is kept for daily storage or used for experiments, the balance must be placed in a glass box. The charcoal can maintain a dry air environment."

More and more scholars came in and were attracted by this strange scale, and people gradually formed a circle around the podium.

"The old president is here!"

Most of the scholars ran to greet the old president, but there were still some left, who were restrained by the balance and unable to move.

Seeing people surrounding the podium, the old president was curious and was helped over.

At this time, the balance has been assembled and Xie Yan is debugging it through multiple knobs.

After a while.

"The eldest princess is here!"

The eldest princess walked over slowly, the steps on her bun swaying very rhythmically.

"What are they doing around here?" the eldest princess asked curiously.

A scholar said: "Bachelor Xie is assembling and debugging a balance. The arms of the balance are very short and are placed in a glass box, which makes it hard to understand."

As a result, the eldest princess also gathered around, and the scholars made room one after another.

After that, more scholars arrived one after another and saw that the three floors inside and outside the podium were surrounded. They were confused and didn't know what was going on.
Chapter completed!
