Chapter 1011 1009 The 'after-sales maintenance' that Mr. Murphy is thinking about
Chapter 1011 The "after-sales maintenance" that Mr. Murphy has been thinking about is finally here
Minx Steamvalve left the Steam Lord's mansion very tired.
This fatigue comes from the pressure brought by the constant talks and decisions with the leaders of all parties in the past few days. For the current reinforcements in Port Chardeau, their task of defending the city has been completed, except for Transia
While the people are still fervently seeking war and taking the initiative to launch frequent attacks around the city, reinforcements from other camps are already preparing to evacuate this place.
This is the focus of the Steam Lords' efforts these days. They hope to pay more to hire more reinforcements to help them fight until the entire peninsula is completely liberated.
Minx had nothing to say about this.
Facts have proved that the attribute of fearlessness has really been engraved in the bones of the halflings. Without the leadership of foreigners, the confidence of the halflings in whether they can regain their lost ground is pitifully small.
However, as one of the Steam Lords, Minx does not despise this kind of cowardly behavior. He is now in charge of armament upgrades. He knows very well that the current Halfling Protection Army is pitifully weak in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. If other lords
If he insists on relying on the soldiers of Port Chardeau to liberate the peninsula, he will really worry.
However, this tangled decision has made Minx aware of greater hidden dangers.
Halflings must completely abandon their original isolationism and conservatism from now on, and participate in various major events on the mainland in a more active manner. The most important thing is that they must have their own armed forces.
The scale can be smaller and the number of people can be smaller, but the will and determination to fight must be cultivated, otherwise they will have to rely on foreigners for rescue every time something goes wrong, not to mention how much money they have to pay. This humiliating dilemma alone is enough to make even the most desperate
The halfling with face felt ashamed from the bottom of his heart.
And as the saying goes, in every crisis there are opportunities.
Now is actually a good opportunity to resolve the contradiction between the inner city and the outer city of Port Chardeau. The people from the outer city could not integrate into the industrial system of Port Chardeau, so simply let them join the new military system to use this more
Contribute to the city in a direct way, and with military honors integrate into the system that halflings must reform.
Thinking about these things related to the future of the population, the tired Minx returned to his laboratory in the university town with worry.
For machinists, the laboratory is their office space, bedroom, restaurant and entertainment facilities. Especially for an elderly widowed halfling like Minx, who has never been married, he does not want to live alone in a few hundred square meters.
The Great House.
That would be too lonely.
But when the great mechanic opened the door, he was shocked to see an uninvited guest sitting on his mechanical chair.
The handsome governor of the Transians was leaning on a comfortable mechanical chair, holding a copy of the "Mechanics' Bulletin" in his hand and reading it intently.
However, Minx immediately saw that Murphy was just concave modeling, because he did not think that with the level of vampire engineering theory, he could understand the seven-unit parallel-rail multi-thread differential published in this announcement.
The theoretical conception of machine.
Because that stuff gives even Minx a headache when he looks at it
It's not that it's difficult to understand.
The main reason is that the whole article of this theory is just continuing the story, adding a lot of water, and packaging clichés with novel concepts in an attempt to attract a wave of sponsorship. The number of such articles in the "Mechanics' Bulletin" is like a carp crossing the river.
Therefore, if the first thing Murphy says now is that he fully understands this article, it just shows that Murphy really knows nothing about mechanical engineering.
"Ah, please forgive me. I was so obsessed with reading this wonderful paper on cutting-edge technology that I didn't realize that the owner of this laboratory has returned."
When Murphy saw Minks staring at him with strange eyes, he stood up with a gentle smile, put the newspaper in his hand on the corner of the table, and pretended to sigh:
"What a good theory! It's full of all kinds of fashionable and novel vocabulary. It reminds me of the scene when those liars are talking so much. Look at your disappointed expression at this time. You don't really think I'm going to
Are you showing off your poor knowledge in front of others and pretending that you are a mechanical enthusiast?
I have a lot of bad habits, but besides respecting women, I never do anything that an outsider orders an expert to do. This is the only good habit I have besides respecting women."
The vampire lord shrugged, made a "please" gesture, and said to Minx:
"You can laugh at me for not knowing engineering, but in fact I understand the tricks of scammers, and that's actually enough."
"You are a true wise man."
Minx said with a straight face:
"It would be perfect if you didn't just read my mind. Tell me, why would a big shot like you appear in the laboratory of a lonely old halfling in the evening?"
"Stop pretending, Your Excellency, isn't this obvious?"
Murphy snorted and said:
"About old Bach, maybe we should call him another name, 'scholar'! So I am now very curious, as one of the people closest to him, what kind of rhetoric are you going to use to make me think that you are not on the side of
What’s his side?”
The vampire lord also bared his teeth on purpose to enhance the threat of his words. He said threateningly:
"After all, I have to make sure that the halflings are on the right side in the next actions, and in order to do so, I will not hesitate to perform some evil control methods that only vampires can do."
"I can't explain or prove it. After all, the relationship between me and my mentor cannot be cleared up in just one or two sentences."
Minx waved his hands and said:
"But I can guarantee that the next time you have a war with him, you will definitely see me, Bach Jr., and Old Flywheel in your camp. I no longer care about why the mentor took that path.
I just want to end this thing that will bring shame to the entire halfling civilization.
Our former hero has fallen into a madman trying to destroy the world.
Such accusations cannot be exonerated with words, only with actual actions. Therefore, Your Excellency, please give us some time to prove our determination."
"Well, I believe in your 'determination' for the time being, but to do great things, determination alone is not enough, so I have brought you what you need most now."
Like a magician, Murphy stretched out his hand and held it in front of him for a moment, then a mechanical cane decorated with a parrot head sculpture appeared in his palm, and after a graceful spin, it was handed to Minks in front of him.
The great mechanic looked at the cane in front of him with a complicated look.
This is the old Bach's mechanical walking stick.
When he was studying with his mentor when he was young, he had a deep memory of this stick.
The mechanics of Port-Chardeau have many peculiar traditions, and the multifunctional mechanical cane is one of them.
Mechanic apprentices need to assemble a mechanical squirrel on their own to represent their mastery. There are many requirements for being promoted to the title of mechanical master. One of the hard conditions is to design and make a cane that can be transformed multiple times.
Since the establishment of Port Chardeau, every mechanical master has to go through this level, and every mechanical cane carries the ingenuity and experience of each master.
"You can't find two identical walking sticks in Port Chardeau" has even become a saying in mainland China.
This thing is the most precious wealth and symbol of reputation of every mechanical master who is recognized by the public. Even the expelled guy like Old Flywheel hides his cane very well. If a certain mechanic passes through non-combat peace,
Obtaining a cane means you are qualified to inherit the mantle of a master.
"Mosna told me that there is something hidden in this stick."
Seeing that Minks had no intention of taking the cane, Murphy explained:
"She said it was old Bach's portable database, but the problem is that we can't take it out. Mosna is very good at Creator Engineering but not an expert in your steam engineering. She is unwilling to destroy this very commemorative trophy.
Now, I can only turn to you for help, Master.
Just open it.
Turning the enemy's power into one's own weapons, you and I are both apprentices in front of the mysterious engineering that can manipulate the Creator's relics. Old Bach has created an incredible path, and now we need this path to be opened for us!
You don’t know yet?
The Creator has sent down an oracle, and He has recovered the power of all the Creator's relics left in this world, and left them all to all the 'destined people' on the entire continent.
As long as you can make a Creator relic move according to your wishes, you can completely own it. This has been recognized by the Songhai Empire. Soon, the Origin will open the door to all followers of the Creator.
.”
"Is it the Creator's oracle, or your 'oracle'?"
Minx raised his head and stared at Murphy with sharp eyes. He said in a spicy tone:
"Although I am not a believer, I am sure that you are by no means a pious person. You have no respect for the Creator in your heart. Your Excellency, this is a play you are playing in the name of God. What exactly do you want to do?"
"Ha, you found out, I was just playing a joke."
Murphy took a step back and used his psychic cane to hover in front of Minx.
He walked to the window himself, where he opened his arms like a performer in front of the window with a view of the entire Port Chardeau, and shouted loudly in a hymn-like tone:
“Want the power of the Creator?
Want to be recognized by a god who forged the world?
Do you want to embark on a journey to save and defend the world?
Then go for it!
Go to that land of thousands of feet of yellow sand! Go to that eternal wasteland! I put all the treasures of the Creator there!
Go get it!
Go and win the love of the whole world."
After this exaggerated performance, Murphy looked back at the mechanical master behind him with a smile, and said:
"Are you satisfied with this reason?"
"Click"
In response to him, Minks held up the mechanical cane with both hands, and using some ingenious force, split the black mechanical cane into two parts from the middle.
This startled Murphy.
He thought that the great mechanic made this gesture to show his loyalty to him.
But as the exquisite and complex mechanical device was stretched, a red computing orb was suspended between the two people. Its appearance was exactly the same as the fourth-generation computing orb in Murphy's hand, but only from this thing could
Judging from the state of autonomous and stable suspension, it is at least a legendary item.
"A calculation orb? It's really strange."
Murphy said in amazement:
"Old Bach invented the first calculation orb. It seems that even after falling into chaos, he regarded it as the greatest invention in his life."
"The Calculation Orb will change the world. This is the instructor's evaluation of it. All mechanics have no doubt about this, including the pragmatists of the Mechanicus Church."
Minx carefully put on his machinist's protective gloves before reaching out and holding the suspended object.
He looked at him very professionally, then put on his engineering goggles and adjusted it to a special observation frequency, holding it up under the light to view the internal details, but what caught his eye was no longer the familiar mechanical differential engine.
Instead, countless light points form a luminous tree.
Minx had never seen this arrangement of psychic factors, but Murphy recognized it at a glance.
"This is the prototype of a photonic computer simulation. Mosna described to me that the Sentinel Legion's big think tank has a photon computer that serves as the coordination center and general database of the entire legion."
Murphy explained:
"According to Mosina, the photon computer's corona will form a wonderful shape similar to the 'Mystery Tree' when it is started, so this thing must have been imitated by the old Bach based on some tips from the Mystery Engineering he founded.
Creator Technology.
That old guy is really a genius.”
"A fallen genius can only be called a 'madman'."
Minx closed the mechanical cane again, put it in his hand and rubbed it with nostalgia for a few times, and then handed it back to Murphy. The vampire had said before that this thing was a rare collectible. From this sentence, he knew that Mo
Fei would not leave old Bach's mechanical walking stick in Port Chardeau.
But for the mechanical master, this quietly suspended calculation orb in front of him is the most precious thing.
"You can study it, I can't understand it anyway."
Murphy said softly:
"But the ownership of this thing is mine. I feel that my core orb can no longer keep up with my current data processing needs. Therefore, I will use it to complete the third upgrade of the alien communication system, and this time
, I designate you to help me complete this system that will surely operate more efficiently.
As a reward, all the knowledge stored in this calculation orb can be accessed by you. Of course, the Mechanicus Church will also get the same copy."
"I have no opinion."
Minx's eyes reflected a certain light.
He stretched out his hand and grasped the computing orb in front of him, which could be classified as at least the seventh or eighth generation, as if he was grasping the entire world.
He said:
"I need a week to study its secrets and complete a copy of the secret engineering. During this period, you can compile your requirements for the real-time communication system. Brother Feilun and I will do our best to help you complete the plan.
In addition, at today's meeting, I heard from a Steam Lord who is responsible for connecting with the Thieves Guild that the foreigners under your command have organized a group of mechanics who are eager to contribute to the liberation of the peninsula to produce for you in the edge factory.
New firearms.
All factories in Port Chardeau are currently shut down.
Therefore, if your army is in great need of that batch of weapons, we can reluctantly help produce them as a reward for the outstanding contributions of the Transian allies in the War of Port Chardor."
"Good! I like this pragmatic attitude."
Murphy clapped his hands and said:
"Then let's start with the production of 100,000 new rifles, 20 million pointed bullets, and two battle bases of explosives and Iron Fist missiles."
"!!!"
Minx's eyes widened, he looked at Murphy as if he were a lunatic, and said:
"What do you want with so many weapons? With so many guns and so many bullets, do you plan to launch a war against Nordtov and the Plantagenet Kingdom at the same time?"
"No, I am peace-loving, Your Excellency."
Murphy showed a perfect gentle smile and explained seriously:
"I just like shooting guns as much as my foreign heroes. Isn't it normal to have more guns and bullets?"
