Chapter 54: Invitation to the Universal Exposition
"AND..." Walder said the word silently.
Although in his opinion, the grammatical formation of the word was a bit strange, he still tried hard to remember it in his mind after seeing the magic of "computer".
"Go on!" he ordered to Allen.
"The next part is called the 'OR gate'," Allen continued, and the element light spots in the air also changed colors. "You see, in this triangle, as long as one of the two points on the base is a dark element,
, then dark elements will appear on the vertices."
Walder nodded.
"There is another component called the 'NOT gate'." At this point, Allen waved his hand, and suddenly there were only two elemental light spots left in the air. "Among these two elemental particles, if the left element is the light element,
, light elements will appear on the right; conversely, if there are dark elements on the left, light elements will appear on the right.”
Walder frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
As for the other people present, they felt confused about this, as if Allen did not speak the same language as them at all.
"So, with these three components, you can build a so-called 'computer'?" Wald asked.
"To be precise, there are thousands of such combinations of components," Allen replied. "For example, these three components can form a 'NAND gate', an 'XOR gate', and a 'NOR gate'
etc., as well as more complex combinational logic structures.
"In addition, I also specially use a part of light elements and dark elements to record the calculation results of each stage in binary form, and update it iteratively.
"In this way, as long as the initial parameters are input, the differential equation used to calculate the plane structure can be solved. I think the magic spells involved should not be complicated. Any magician, even a magic apprentice, can
It can be done, it’s just a little boring.”
Walder pondered for several minutes.
Although he still couldn't quite follow Allen's thinking, he had roughly grasped some key information.
At this moment, in his eyes when he looked at Allen, in addition to the initial appreciation, there was also some enthusiasm to win... and even a hungry look, as if he couldn't wait to lure Allen into his
laboratory.
As for the other magicians present, they looked at Allen dumbfounded, thinking: Is this man's brain a normal human brain? Can he think of these things out of thin air?
For a normal magician, who would be bored enough to make this simplest arrangement and combination of thousands of light elements and dark elements?
Only madmen and true geniuses would do such absurd things.
Just like that, after Allen introduced the basic principles of computers, everyone present fell silent.
Faintly, they seemed to have a premonition: This so-called "computer" is likely to become one of the greatest alchemical inventions of this era. And Alan York may also become an achievement in the near future.
No less an alchemist than Walder.
After all, in their impression, the most famous alchemist masters in history, such as Walder, seemed to be a little nervous, and their way of thinking was different from ordinary people. Although Allen looked normal, he was actually probably a
A hidden madman.
In the end, it was Merlins who coughed dryly and took the lead in breaking the awkward silence: "Alan, as soon as I return to the Mage Tower, I will ask someone to register your patent. By then, as long as someone steals your patent outside,
If there is an invention, Mage Tower will know immediately, and you can protect your rights in time."
"Thank you, sir...teacher." Allen thanked him.
When he heard the word "teacher", Merlins felt happy, thinking that this genius who was even more powerful than himself ended up in his bowl.
Walder turned away, as if he didn't want to hear Allen call someone "teacher".
However, at this moment, belated applause broke out in the auditorium of the University of Cambridge.
"Pah, pah, pah."
Principal Lin En stood in the corner of the auditorium, applauding alone.
"How lucky! I can actually see such a wonderful and creative invention in my lifetime!" He praised with a sincere smile on his face, looking at Allen.
Allen panicked, wondering what other tricks this principal and quasi-prince was up to.
I heard Principal Lynn continue to say in a sincere tone: "Mr. Alan York, I'm sorry, what I said before may have offended you, I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay, Mr. Principal. I should be the one to apologize." Although Allen didn't understand Principal Lynn's intention, he still said politely.
"In order to express my apology and commend you for your outstanding performance today," Principal Lin En continued to speak as if he had not heard Allen's words, "Today I will act as the future prince of the Kingdom of Braden.
You are invited to participate in the next 'World Expo' in July next year. You will have your own booth at the 'World Expo'.
"I think that by then, you can show the 'computer' to the residents of the Braden Kingdom, foreign guests and representatives of the colonial plane. I believe that with an outstanding alchemist like you sitting in charge, the Braden Kingdom will be able to
Show off your power at the 'World's Fair'."
Allen was very surprised when he heard this, and even suspected that he was hallucinating.
After all, Principal Lin En was deliberately targeting him a few minutes ago.
But now, he not only sincerely apologized to himself, but also gave himself such a big gift.
As the son of an earl, Alan naturally knew what a booth at the World Expo meant.
Factory owners hope to exhibit their products at the World Expo, thereby opening up sales channels for other countries or other dimensions, and obtain orders and profits that are several times higher than before.
Alchemists also hope to have such a booth to display their works, gain appreciation and fame, and even sell technology patents to factory owners, thereby earning large profits.
Alchemists who are more famous can also hold personal press conferences at the "World Expo" and become the focus of global attention.
The 'Magic Steam Engine' invented by Walder became famous at the World Expo that year, and then affected the entire kingdom and even the entire plane.
However, the number of booths at the World Expo is not large, and every year there is a rush for scalps.
If the royal family is willing to put the booth up for auction, sometimes it can even fetch a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of gold pounds.
It can be said that the gift that Principal Lynn gave to Allen at this time was quite heavy.
But Allen was a little confused: Why did Principal Lin En suddenly change his attitude and show kindness to him?
He thought for a moment and felt that Principal Lin En must have really wanted to target him before.
But now, since he has become a common student of the two mages and has great potential for development, Principal Lin En naturally understands that continuing to go against him will obviously lead to more losses than gains; if he chooses to be friends with himself, he will gain greater benefits.
Benefit.
Thinking of this, Allen nodded slightly and said: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations."
