To be honest.
Although Xu Yun didn't particularly like Hook, he hadn't thought about deliberately undermining Hook since leaving the 1665 dungeon.
Nor had he thought about bringing Hook's inventions to light prematurely, treating this Little Niu's giant as a sheep to be sheared.
But it seemed that fate had its own plans and wasn't ready to act according to Xu Yun's wishes.
On the second day of his arrival in this world, he was shown one of Hook's most proud inventions.
If you think about it carefully, it makes perfect sense:
Old Su's fiddling with the Celestial Sphere rotating device and the "Celestial Balance" system were the prototypes for modern astronomical clock transfers and modern mechanical clocks, and Joseph Needham personally evaluated Old Su:
"Su Song successfully integrated clock mechanisms with the observational Celestial Sphere, achieving total success in principle. He preceded the European Robert Hooke by six centuries and Fang He Fei by seven centuries."
