Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 335
At 59:3 p.m., Shangluo entered the room on time. Three minutes later, Phaethon, who had been working all day, also came back and brought him dinner by the way.As well as purchased toothpaste, tea bags, instant noodle reserves, and toilet paper.

Dinner chicken burger, roast duck rice, a soup, a glass of Coke, plus two packs of French fries.

"This is the change for today's living expenses." She placed 61 Wen in front of Shangluo, which was left over from today's 100 Wen living expenses.

"Huh?" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "Today's daily expenses, including shopping and dinner, is that much?"

He specially gave Fahe the same amount of money, and his daily expenses usually do not exceed 20.After all, he can walk to school, eat in the cafeteria in the morning and evening, and spend some change on the rest.Occasionally go shopping, only about 100 a week.

After Phaeton moved in, although she was paid a very small salary, the standard of living expenses has been raised to 100 per day—but Phaeton seems to have a "discount radar", and every time You can get discounted items.But this time it was even more outrageous. The dinner was brought back, plus three big bags, and it only cost less than 40.

He glanced at Phaeton, then looked down at the invoice. It was true, it was really bought.

"But these are almost 30, right? How did you settle for ten yuan for dinner?"

"Dinner? There is no money for dinner."

"Then what is this?"

"It's my birthday today, and this is a staff meal from the Golden Arches. I packed it and came back."

【ah!Yes, today is August [-]th, her birthday! 】

Seeing Shangluo's hesitation, Phaethon shook his head: "Apolonia remembered."

"Well, she just remembered. Sorry, if I knew, I would definitely prepare it for you. The 16th birthday is very important."

"Forget it, I haven't celebrated my birthday since I was very young, but companies and banks will remember my birthday at this time"

"Then you don't want to eat?"

"Today's Saturday, there was a staff meal on Saturday, and I was already full. So I brought you another one to eat. Well, it's my treat for you. Didn't you say that birthdays are lucky? ? Your luck will also be shared with you."

"Thank you. I'll accept it then."

He took the Coke and took a sip.It seems that he has been giving blessings to others, and no one has given him blessings for a long time.

He raised his head: "I said. You can accept the change, and you can use it yourself. You don't need to return it to me."

"Really!"

"Uh yes, it does. I trust you, and I don't think our quality of life will go down if we don't give change—and I think it can improve your motivation. After all, I'm still busy. Say yes It’s okay to have too many things to do and don’t have time to take care of your own life. Hiring you to solve my time for me is a good deal for both of us.”

"Thank you. But I'm sorry! You trusted me so much, but I still betrayed you! I'm sorry!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Actually, today's things are more than that."

As she spoke, she brought back a huge oiled paper bag from the door. There were five or six layers of peach cakes neatly stacked inside, and the visual weight was ten catties.

"Good guy! Where did this come from???"

"I got it in a lottery. After I go shopping, I can draw a lottery. I'm sorry! I wanted to eat alone! But you are so generous, I really feel ashamed. You can also share half of the peach cake!"

Before I knew it, there was a lot of stuff piled on the coffee table.More than enough to eat in a week.

"By the way, you are really good." He looked at the peach cakes, and then at the other food on the table, "Did you do housework at home before?"

"No, I have an automatic machine at home, so I don't have to do the housework myself."

"Automata? What's that?"

"Eh? You don't have it? I thought you must have such a simple thing. It's a wind-up doll."

"A wind-up doll can do housework?"

"An automaton equipped with a 'Vulkan Core' will do. Don't you have similar things? You have a nobleman from Tianyi."

"No, no, these two are completely different."

"Exactly the same." Phaeton replied, "Because the underlying principles are the same, they all capture the wandering light between heaven and earth, generate artificial souls, and then make them incarnate on machines. However, the technical path is different. Vulcan's core Use lightning to catch instead of naturally forming beans like you do."

"Then is there any difference between the two in use?"

"Well, Vulcan's core is fixed, and it has been fixed since the end of manufacturing. After being activated by lightning, the artificial soul produced is bound to the machine itself. If the machine disappears, the artificial soul will also be broken. These automatic machines It is also graded. The higher the level of automata, the more human-like it is. Low-level automatons can only be bound in fixed facilities and act as generators. The automatons in our home are quite advanced, except that they cannot speak. It can almost fully realize human functions."

"So when you saw the nobleman Tianyi, you weren't that surprised?"

"Before I understood the principle, I was really surprised. After I understood it, it was much easier to accept. However, our application of automata is quite limited. The Muse Palace, which is in charge of reviewing the ethics of science and technology, has always opposed this behavior, because the random use of lightning Coming to capture You Guang is a kind of 'imprisonment'. Well, it will be a matter of time before the Colombian side part ways with us, they have irreconcilable conflicts with the Senate, the Oracle, and the Palace of Muses."

"This"

This is powerful, this is very powerful.Just by hearing it, you can tell that this is a technology that can change the world, enough to support a world-class power.

"Let me confirm again. What is the 'Vulcan core' you just mentioned?"

"That's the Syracuse Academy of Sciences. Simply put, that thing is a degraded version of the Divine Machine. The mass-produced version of the 'Vulcan Core' can be seen as an 'automaton' if it is put into a machine. '. Humanoid automata can work like a human, but the performance depends on the design of the doll itself. A well-designed doll can complete complex housework, including sweeping the floor, washing, cooking, etc., as long as there are enough joints. Large The automaton can do heavier work, and what they have in common is that they don't need energy."

"Are they, perpetual motion machines?"

Phaethon nodded: "Yes, that is the perpetual motion machine, which is the product of the intersection of human body refining and the Philosopher's Stone route."

"Then they really don't need to input energy to use it?" Shang Luo asked.After all, it sounds so unbelievable.

"True. But that probably doesn't count as input energy? Here's the thing: when all Vulcan cores are running, they drop the temperature around them. The cooler the temperature, the slower the Vulcan cores operate. Therefore, we usually use a water condensation system to maintain the temperature of Vulcan's core, so that large automatons can run while spitting out ice cubes. Small automatons do not need water condensation, and can be maintained at room temperature.

"So it is impossible to manufacture an infinitely huge automaton, because it will instantly reduce the core temperature to the point where it cannot operate. Only when the size is appropriate and the output power is appropriate, the automaton can operate normally-so, although it is true It does not need to input energy, but the work of 'cooling' is actually quite tricky. Why, why are you looking at me like this?"

"It turns out that a helping hand is far away and close at hand! Can you help me get one? The person I want to shake is decided to be you."
