Chapter 30 30. We fixed the BUG of no player interface and optimized a more realistic physics engine

When Murphy traveled to this world and saw the broken Steam 800 refrigerator in Tris's courtyard, he knew that there were some "unique technologies" in this world that were difficult to explain in ordinary terms.

Later, he saw a steam-powered repeating crossbow in the village of Moreland. He once thought that using steam power for war was probably the most ruthless job that steam mechanics could do, but it turned out that he used it to persuade the children.

If players understand the new world with a little more humility, they can actually apply it to themselves.

"Psychic power. Calculation orb?"

Murphy looked at Miriam with a fan-shaped expression that was mixed with confusion, curiosity, and confusion.

He could understand these six words when taken apart, but he had no idea what they meant when combined.

Maxim next to him also looked confused.

Miriam just told him that the matter was serious, but the loyal vampire worshipers' understanding of "steam engineering" was limited to these five words.

Like his master, he is a true husband-wife in this respect.

"Oh, let me explain it from the beginning."

Miriam looked at the blank expressions of the master and servant in front of her and knew that they did not understand her worries at all.

She took out another orb array from the box under her buttocks and put it in her hand, raised it at a special angle and placed it above her eyes, and said to Murphy:

"Look at the orb from this angle and tell me what you see?"

Murphy followed Miriam's instructions and raised the gem array in his hand.

The vampire's vision at night is quite good. When the gem in his hand was turned to a specific angle, he immediately saw some unique structures reflected inside the translucent gem.

It is very much like a super complex system formed by the combination of tiny gears and mechanical structures. It is densely packed but assembled together in a very regular and industrially beautiful way, and among the transparent gemstones that are larger than a fingernail

There are three systems like this, and they are connected to each other by a set of lever systems to form a larger whole.

"This is impossible!"

Murphy immediately retorted:

"If it's not my eyesight. No, it must be my eyesight! No matter how high the industrial level of the halflings is, it is impossible to make ultra-micro components with such precision!

There are at least tens of thousands of parts assembled together.

Is this some kind of illusion?"

"To be precise, it is a triple-packed simple psychic difference engine composed of 44,327 parts, iterated to the third generation.

It is said that the calculation speed is super fast!”

Miriam shrugged and smoothly said a rather complicated phrase in Transian, which made Maxim's mind spin a little.

But Murphy understood.

He continued to look at Miriam questioningly, who explained:

"Don't look at me like that. I don't understand its specific operating mode. I'm just an administration student. I learned these terms from the works of Professor Bach Gaslamp, just to pass "A Brief History of Machinery"

I got credits for elective courses, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy in this situation.

In short, the miniature difference engine in the calculation orb is certainly not real!

The prototype of this thing occupies an entire exhibition hall in the underground museum of the Shardau Craftsman University, but the halfling mechanical craftsmen got inspiration from the phenomenon of 'psionic erosion' that occurs everywhere in the world.

They and their dwarf brothers used special techniques to manipulate psychic energy. With the help of the psionic masters of the Ring Tower, they used psionic formulas to mobilize the psionic factors widely found in nature to form some kind of peculiar spell. Finally, at the microscopic level,

The level implementation simulates the operation of the difference engine.

Since then, micro-computing orbs have emerged, and halfling steam engineering has successfully entered an era."

Miriam shook the orb in her hand and said:

"This thing is found in various automatons in Port Chardeau. The one we have is a pure computing type and does not come with any control accessories. It only needs to be filled with psychic energy, and it can help the user do many things.

.”

"for example?"

Maxim asked stupidly.

His brain, which had been too confused with metaphysics since childhood, really couldn't understand what Miriam just said, but his question was just right.

The red-haired lady rolled her eyes and explained patiently:

"For example, it can help you translate a poem written in Elvish in one minute, or it can help you plan in a few seconds how to spend next month's salary and how much you have spent this year.

If necessary, it can even help you make a detailed account of your income and expenses. You only need to activate the psychic projector, and you can even see its calculation results with your eyes.

When I enrolled in Craftsman University, I was also given a fist-sized second-generation computing orb as part of the student benefits.

Nowadays, many campuses of Shardo University are undergoing "storage reform". The professors plan to use psychic orbs and supporting databases to replace ancient paper documents.

That's really convenient!

Only an area the size of a castle is needed to store all the information in an old-fashioned library the size of Cadman City. If you need the book, just tell your calculation orb, and it can retrieve and copy it for you.

If you're lazy enough, you can even ask it to read it for you.

Of course, an external psionic microphone requires extra money. Only those aristocratic young men who are not short of money will use this service. I heard that they will use computing orbs to read some very obscene things to cheer up on certain occasions."

"That's not the point!"

Murphy probably understood what this computing orb is. Although it is not necessarily exactly the same, it can basically be regarded as the "computer and operating system" of this world. However, at present, this thing should only be used in Chardo's half body.

Human territory sprouted and was put into use, but it had not yet spread to other parts of the continent.

So he asked:

"The point is, why did the Plantagenet Kingdom make great efforts to smuggle the orbs of calculation back from the Shardor halflings? And why did they label them as military supplies?"

"Because it sure can be used to fight a war, Murphy."

Miriam sighed and said:

"That was when I first entered school, and I heard about this from my counselor, an old halfling lady. It was said that the Tower of Rings sided with the Plantagenet Kingdom in the Ten Years' War.

When the situation was unfavorable at the beginning of the war, the psionicists proposed to put the Orb of Calculation into military use. They also participated in the development of the Orb of Calculation, and their understanding of this thing was second only to the halfling mechanics.

They transformed the internal logic and simulation algorithm of the computing orb, and spent three months to establish a communication and command system covering the entire Greene Army, using each computing orb and their users as communication nodes and even computing artillery.

The shooting direction achieves a rapid improvement in command effectiveness.

Two years before the Ten Years' War, the Old Faith rebels and their companions spent sixteen months to capture the two border provinces of the Kingdom of Plantagenet. After the Orb of Operation was put into the war, the Greene Army and the Old Army who had completed the change of gear

It took the Praetorian Guard only three months to drive the rebels out of the country.

I can't imagine how they could use these things to fight, but after that incident, the Steam Lords immediately ordered a ban on the export of the Calculation Orbs.

Apparently, the Plantagenet Kingdom's behavior of devoting their efforts to war made the mechanics very angry. It is said that they also completely severed the cooperative research and development with Ring Tower because of this incident.

The 3,000 orb arrays we have snatched back now were ordered by the Pioneer Legion. Perhaps the legendary General Loren also wanted to imitate the Greene Legion's reforms and complete the improvements to his legions.

But if I had to guess, there is a high probability that these orbs may not come from the Chardor halflings."

The red-haired lady looked over the array of orbs in her hand twice and said to Murphy:

"There is no serial number on it, and the style is a little different from the genuine ones I have seen. These things may have been made by others.

But to be honest, apart from halfling craftsmen, I can’t think of any other force on the mainland that can make such sophisticated things?”

Murphy nodded.

Miriam has told all the information she knows. As she said, this shipment is of great significance to the Plantagenet Kingdom and is indeed a hot potato.

There is a high probability that General Loren will not give up.

However, Murphy was still a little confused. He held the computing orb array in his hand and used the item identification. A second later, an information label popped up in front of his eyes:

Name: The Third Generation of Psychic Calculation Orb·Cracked Version

Efficacy: By completing psychic resonance with upper-level nodes, a regional psychic encrypted communication network can be established, with a preset standard permission tree to achieve simple information exchange between parallel nodes and upper and lower nodes, multiple communication modes and relative orientation calculations, and customized coordinates

Mark and share, simple psychic projection, multi-language simple translation, etc.

hint!

The computing orb encryption lock has been completely cracked, so it supports user-defined editing of additional functions.

However, this operation requires a certain understanding of the field of steam engineering micromachines, psychic erosion phenomena, binary information storage theory, third-generation psychic differential machine construction, and cybernetics.

hint!

Please find the superior node to activate and initialize the same batch of computing orbs.

Item description:

[After I left Port Chardeau, the steam engineers' research on the wonderful machinery stopped. Especially when I saw the so-called third-generation computing orb, I was already convinced of the depravity of my idiot colleagues.

After all, cracking the seven-fold encryption they are proud of is no more difficult than deceiving the trolls from the last piece of meat in their pot.

The fact is that I not only completed the cracking, but also upgraded it!

They want to monopolize this wonderful technology, but I want to give it to everyone who needs it or not, and earn some pocket money for myself.
