There were more than 400 people at the scene, including the family members of the workers. They were all neatly dressed, and dozens of DDs held their cameras and flew in the air to take pictures.

Fan Helsing handed over the mobile phone to a DD, and the next video will be done by this DD. Fan Helsing can't do anything, and he can't shoot the big scene.

DD just works as a 'drone', which can take some high-altitude perspectives.

Everyone lined up in front of the analysis machine covered with red cloth, tall, short, fat, and thin. The tall ones stood in the back row, the short ones stood in the front row, and the dwarfs in the front row had to squat down so as not to block the faces behind them.

Fan Helsing was in the middle of the crowd, with Katyusha, Lucifer and other girls on the left and right.

DD, who was in charge of taking the official group photo, stood on the specially moved table, and there was a tripod under the camera. It fiddled with it for a while, shouting 'awsl', and using its little paws to direct the team to line up.

Of course, the crowd couldn't understand its DD language, all relying on other DDs to shuttle between the crowd, pushing and pulling a person to a suitable position.

Yes, this DD is not commanding humans and demihumans, but other DDs.

Van Helsing waited for the DDs to finish their work, looked around boredly, and suddenly felt that a person squatting in the front row looked familiar.

Oh...it's Elson, the old hunter. Thinking about it carefully, I did see him when I came here to distribute career templates. It seems that Garten introduced him to work in the machinery factory, and he said he was trustworthy.

Look again, among the workers present, there are also many human faces. They get along well with the demihumans, and some of them even hook their shoulders to the left and right, causing the DDs to pull their sleeves to separate them.

Not long after, everyone was tidied up by the DDs, and they stood in front of the camera with a serious face. At this time, a DD flew in front of Van Helsing and was about to lift his hood.

"Wait!" Van Helsing quickly pressed his hat, "What do you want to do, you little bastard?"

Katyusha pulled DD away and put her hand in front of Van Helsing.

"awsl?" DD was puzzled, you were wearing a hat, and your face was hidden in the dark shadow... Do you want to take a picture?

"Master Van Helsing, why don't you just take off your hat? Now there is no sunlight in the workshop—" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Yeah, where is someone taking pictures without showing their face?"

There is a photo studio in the town, and it is not uncommon to take pictures in Anni Town. At least when the police station is applying for a residence permit or a traveler's permit, everyone has taken a two-inch bareheaded color ID photo of themselves.

Gradually, someone persuaded Fan Helsing to take off his hat and take a serious group photo with them.

"..." Fan Helsing thought for a while, and secretly took out a pair of sunglasses and a fake mustache from the cloak, and put his head down on his face under the cover of Katyusha...

Huh—sprayed some hairspray on his hands, Van Helsing put his hands in front of his forehead, raised his head, lifted the hood with his arms, and wiped his back hair by the way.

wow——

The hood was completely lifted, and Van Helsing also asked the evil spirit maid to give out his 'Pandora Scepter (the key to open Pandora.B)', holding Pandora's waist, and leaning on it in front of him.

"Okay, are you ready? Let's start now." Fan Helsing squeezed his mustache like an old gentleman.

Everyone froze in place.

In the row in front of Van Helsing, Annie, who was sitting in a wheelchair, also turned back to look at Van Helsing.

Everyone's eyes lingered on their faces.

Hiss - no wonder Miss Gabriel looks so much like her mother, Miss Anne, it turns out that Lord Van Helsing also has this face...

Afterwards, they didn't dare to think about it any more, and they all looked straight ahead, as if they hadn't seen anything just now.

After all, he is an aristocrat... It is not surprising that there are some strange family traditions...

I just don't know whether Lord Van Helsing is an elder brother or a younger brother...

……

As the crowd shouted "Knife Eggplant" in unison, the red cloth cover on the analysis machine behind them was also pulled up by the crane.

Click, click—

DD's claws were fast, and he took hundreds of photos in a row, recording the whole process. He didn't raise his claws until the red cloth left the analysis machine completely, indicating that he was done.

So everyone turned around and looked at the analysis machine and cheered loudly, some wept with joy, some danced, some jumped up in place with excitement, and some calmly stepped forward... These scenes were recorded by other DDs with cameras.

Van Helsing put on the hood again, but the Pandora scepter was not retracted. Following Beimingwolf, the group of people came to a huge console with a huge black screen on it.

Some engineers put hot bacteria into the water tank of the steam engine and skillfully pressurized——

Ba——rumbling—steam rises, and countless mechanical structures begin to roar and operate.

When the bell rang, a red light spot lit up on the five-meter-high and seven-meter-wide black screen, as if there were shapeless clouds rolling on it.

"The beam valve is open! Restart the graphics display system!" Beiming Wolf yelled at the engineers, and immediately someone ran to the console, pulled down a lever, and punched a dozen huge metal buttons with one hand. The sound is clearly audible.

After a while, the light spots on the screen receded, and Arabic numerals and operation symbols made of dots began to appear one by one.

"Start calculating addition..." Beimingwolf tugged at his collar, which suddenly felt a little strangled, and walked to the keyboard.

"Start with the simplest - tell me the answer to 'one plus one'... Analytical Engine..."

........................

The second update this afternoon is here! ~

(What does beer taste like? When I ate salty peanuts today, the package said it was suitable for beer. Well... how is it suitable?)

Chapter 171 Chapter 170: The machine soul that has never heard the name of a ghost is unhappy ([-])

Van Helsing looked at the analytical machine in front of him. He couldn't understand the mechanical structures of meshing, collision, translation, and rotation, but he could intuitively see such a complicated mechanical complex operating in such an orderly manner, and a kind of cold beauty gradually faded away. captured his heart.

Just looking at the big screen, he always has a sense of déjà vu of a cheap calculator that he took math class in junior high school and went to the stationery store to buy according to the teacher's request.

It can only display simple numbers and symbols, giving the illusion of 'this is a rigid dumb guy'.

Beimingwolf was typing on the keyboard, inputting numbers, and calculating data one after another on the console, while looking up at the big screen and seeing the visualized numbers appearing at the same time, with a bright smile on his face.

All the engineers were also smiling. Although due to the characteristics of the system building, from the perspective of the outside world, they only took less than a month to complete the analysis machine, but in their subjective time, they have already done it for This guy has been working on it all night and day for years.

At the beginning, I learned the ancient Mohist mechanism from Beimingwolf, and then everyone brainstormed and jointly transformed the structure of the original analysis machine. Through the knowledge obtained from the professional template, and referring to the technology called "electronic computer", it Changed to be paradoxical to the original...

The current analytical machine - using gears to store numbers, has a 'storage bank' composed of thousands of gear columns...

Use gears to calculate data, and realize digital calculations through gear meshing, translation, rotation, etc. The scale of this part is even larger, and it is called the "calculation room"...

It also has a console, and a series of new gadgets specially made by engineers. The data transmission has abandoned the original mechanical structure, and replaced it with 1 sticks of different thicknesses that transmit soul steam. steel pipes.

Thanks to the spirited steam, the temperature and state of the steam can be kept for a long time before the special substances in the steam are completely consumed, and the '0' and '1' can be replaced by the spirited steam with different volumes and speeds in the pipeline It became a feasible way.

This analytical machine is no longer the analytical machine designed by Babbage's predecessors.

It is the genius work of the engineers in Anne County (mainly the idea of ​​Beimingwolf, other people do not have the talent of mechanics even if they have a professional template, they can only be craftsmen, not masters).

"Master Van Helsing..." Beimingwolf turned around and bowed to Fan Helsing: "Fortunately, I am honored."

The other engineers also bowed and saluted.

"Yeah, you don't need to be too polite." Fan Helsing walked to Beimingwolf's side, looking at the operating table that was bigger than his dining table, he was eager to try.

"This... can I touch it?" Van Helsing pointed to the number pad on the bottom of his hand.

"Well, it's ok, but you need to use more force. We made the spring too strong, and you can't press it down without force." Beimingwolf squeezed his still sore fingers.

I was too excited when I was typing on the keyboard just now, but now that the energy has passed, the great fatigue of typing the keyboard quickly came up.

Listening to Beimingwolf's words, Van Helsing pressed his finger on a button, and gradually increased the force, until he pressed it with the strength of pinching a walnut.

After a long series of numbers on the screen, a new Arabic numeral ⑨ appeared.

"Isn't this keyboard too insensitive? It feels like ordinary people use this thing to type all the year round..." Fan Haixin raised his eyebrows: "Maybe he will be able to practice such a peerless martial art as '[-] Yinbai Bone Claw'."

"Ahem, this is a small mistake, we will change a batch of springs later..." Beiming Wolf felt a little embarrassed.

At the beginning, she was too sleepy, so she didn't seriously examine the batch of springs, and only after they were installed did she find out what was wrong with them.

The engineer who made these springs also came out bitterly and pleaded guilty, saying that he was tired and in a trance recently. He added some other alloys to the spring steel when processing it, and then made them in a daze. handed them over...

Who knew that Sister Beiming also passed them in a daze...

"Alas..." Fan Helsing looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the engineers and sighed, "Today is Saturday, right?"

Beimingwolf didn't understand why, but he still nodded.

"Then you will have nine days off from today, and you will come back to work next week and Monday." Fan Helsing leaned against the operating table, listening to the chorus of steam and machinery in his ears.

"Thank you, Mr. Van Helsing, I feel that I really need to rest for a while..." Beimingwolf rubbed her eyes. Now that the analysis machine has been built, she doesn't want to continue to hold on.

"Well, the last question now is this... um... Analytical Engine, should it inherit the old name of the Analytical Engine, or give it a memorable new name?" Van Helsing played with Pandora in his hand. Scepter, looking at everyone.

"After all, you also said that - in terms of general structure, it is already different from the original analysis engine."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly became interested. The person who secretly drank tea to refresh himself put down the thermos cup, and the person who secretly counted his hair also hid his hands full of poor strands of hair behind him.

"The new name is good. Every child is born with a new name. There is no reason why our masterpiece can't have a new name!" An engineer called out.

Others also joined in.

"The analytical machine is already in the past tense. In the future, we will miniaturize and functionalize it. It is not just a calculator, but an operation terminal similar to a 'computer'. The name 'analytical machine'...is no longer appropriate."

"Then what is it called?"

"I think mechanical computers are pretty good, just like electronic computers, simple and straightforward."

"No, no, mechanical computer is fine as a professional term, but as a daily address...it's not easy to pronounce, and it's troublesome."

"Eh? Aren't we taking professional terms now?!" Some engineers were shocked.

"No, why do I feel that we are going to take a nice nickname..." Some engineers also raised their hands in confusion.

"It should be a common name, right. When 'analytical machine' becomes popular in the future, everyone should have a common name for it." The engineer was quite sure of his own idea.

The people who couldn't compete looked at Fan Helsing one after another.

"Why do we have to fight? Why don't we just choose one name that is used in various places?" Fan Helsing spread his hands.

"Wonderful—" Everyone suddenly realized.

……

"'Machine Brain'? What kind of weird name is that? Thanks to them being able to come up with such a thing..." Fan Helsing walked home speechlessly, with Katyusha and the others beside him.

'Computer Brain' - that is the new common name given to the analysis machine by the engineers. The most outrageous thing is that this inexplicable name has been approved by all the engineers, including Beimingwolf, and Van Helsing has no choice but to object.

"I always feel that this name has a taste of 'machine soul'..."

Although I heard them say, "Since an electronic computer can be called a computer, why can't a mechanical computer be called a computer brain?" '
