The steam difference engine and analysis engine in this world are equivalent to computers.
And the difficulty of building it, except for state agencies and a few big chaebols, is simply hell for individuals.
To give the simplest example, a most common and small difference engine can only automatically process the calculation process of different functions, process 6 different 9-digit numbers at the same time, and the calculation accuracy reaches 20 decimal places, which is the most advanced difference engine. basic unit.
But such a machine contains tens of thousands of parts, with a total weight of more than 10 tons! Even the accuracy of each component is required to be within a thousandth of an inch!
For ordinary people, the cost of materials alone will go bankrupt.
After seeing the design drawings, Wu Ming deeply lamented that the computer in this steam age is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
Of course, after having the main god space this time, he immediately went to the library again and copied all the design drawings and parts drawings.
"good fortune!"
Wu Ming let out a low cry, his mental power trembled, and dark and bright metal parts emerged out of thin air.
After all, it is just an illusory thing in the main god's space, and it doesn't need a lot of materials, just a little spiritual power is enough.
Click! Click!
There seem to be countless transparent big hands in the void, like a master engineer, combining tens of thousands of parts to form a standard difference machine composed of gears, metal rods, and conveyor belts.
"The computing power of one difference engine is really too small... To complete my design, I must use the joint operation of multiple difference engines..."
Wu Ming snapped his fingers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the void, the same situation reappeared, and nearly 100,000 differential engines fell down, forming an extremely spectacular cluster of steel piles.
"This kind of luxury, I am afraid that even the Royal Research Institute of the Golden Oak Kingdom would not dare to do it?"
Woohoo!
The same number of steam engines emerged, and the boilers were burning fiercely. The steam passed through the valves, generating a huge driving force, levering the levers, and making many wheels run rapidly.
"The power is there, the amount of calculation is there, and finally, the core analysis and control..."
Wu Ming stretched out his hands.
In front, on the specially reserved open space in the center of the steel cluster, an analysis machine that looked like a hill appeared instantly.
Numbers are stored on a large number of gears, and through the control of the punching machine, digital calculations are performed by means of meshing, rotation, and translation between the wheels, forming a huge database.
"Although the model may not be the latest, but with such a spare effort, this mechanical computer will definitely not be inferior to any computer in any country, no! It has far surpassed..."
Of course, even if its calculation volume is terrifying enough to compare with that of a brain, it is still a rigid program after all, cumbersome and complicated to the extreme.
"Metal activation!"
"Enlightenment!"
Therefore, Wu Ming then used the power of magic to bless the entire differential unit.
A layer of hazy fluorescent blue light bloomed on the entire unit, like blood vessels, and finally converged on the central analysis machine.
During the calculation of a large amount of data, the blue light became more and more crystal clear, as if the heart was beating.
"Please name it!"
On the basis of the terrifying calculation volume of the steam computer, the extraordinary magic technique played the role of turning stones into gold, forming a tower spirit that mixed sci-fi and mysterious styles.
"housekeeper!"
Wu Ming opened his mouth.
"Confirm the name, the smart housekeeper is at your service!"
The sound of machinery entered Wu Ming's ears.
This pagoda spirit has no intelligence of its own, and it is still a rigid program after all, but it is far superior to humans in terms of patience and meticulousness, and its calculation power is even more terrifying, enough to take care of everything in the main god space for Wu Ming. True to its name.
"If the previous petitioner kingdom was the power source of the space, this is the brain of the space...and it must be well protected!"
With a wave of Wu Ming's hand, this space was also isolated and firmly sealed off.
"It's a pity... the steward can't be brought into reality, unless I have the huge amount of resources to build it in reality..."
Wu Ming sighed, and said directly: "Housekeeper, show the state of the main god's space!"
boom!
There was a faint vibration, and Wu Ming seemed to be able to perceive the roar of the steam engine in that brain area and the calculations of many difference engines.
The punching machine spits out numbers quickly, and after being summarized by the analysis machine, the final result is transformed by the smart housekeeper and presented to Wu Ming in the most understandable way.
[Lord God Space]
[Owned areas: Intellectual Brain Area, Divine Country Area, Unnamed Area]
[Number of petitioners: 3218]
[Mental power reserve: 9761 units]
…
"The digitization of spiritual power can finally be done..."
This unit of spiritual power is naturally defined by Wu Ming. Compared with the original force, one side of the original force can be converted into a million units of spiritual power. From this, we can see how declining and overwhelming the main god space is. .
"This situation is even worse than when I just got the main temple..."
Wu Ming complained silently: "If the deity can send a source of force, I don't need such calculations. I have already realized the wisdom brain into reality, and the space of the main god covers everything..."
He blinked and stared at the column of mental power reserves: "The most urgent task at the moment is to collect as much spiritual power as possible. Fortunately, there is no other in this world, but there are huge advantages in terms of population size and information dissemination... Finally, build an illusory fairyland and select reincarnation. By… "
Wu Ming's consciousness was shaken, and he immediately returned to his body.
…
On a steam train.
The whistle blew, and the violent sound of metal levers came. The bumpy body and hard seats made people feel quite uncomfortable.
This is why many rich people would rather take an airship than a train.
"Is it so difficult to add some springs for shock absorption? Or is it simply stingy?"
Wu Ming complained silently in his heart, and immediately heard the voice of the girl opposite:
"Sir? Sir?"
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now!"
He apologized with a smile, that kind of hearty and clean gesture made the girl on the opposite side blush: "What's the matter?"
"No! Nothing?"
She spat inwardly to herself, hiding her flustered look: "I just want to remind you! Yes! Remind you, we're only one stop away from Casper City!"
"Oh, that's it, thank you!"
It's not that Wu Ming doesn't understand style, but now, obviously, it's not the time to indulge in these little entertainments.
It wasn't until the train arrived and he went down with the luggage that the girl slapped her forehead in frustration: "Oh... I forgot to ask his name, and I didn't tell him. I... My name is Missy..."
…
"Driver, go to Binafort Business University!"
This school is obviously well-known in Casper City, the driver started the car without the slightest hesitation, and even cast an admiring look: "Guest, are you a freshman?"
"Well, come and report today!"
"Ha, I have met several freshmen like this today, but they are all accompanied by their parents. There are very few independent little gentlemen like you!"
The driver was quite talkative. Along the way, he was able to chat with a very good restaurant near the train station to a newly planned industrial zone in Casper City.
Just when he was about to introduce to Wu Ming which bar in the city was the most fun and the dancers were the hottest, the gate of Binaforth University was already standing in front of Wu Ming.
"Thank you for your advice and advice!"
Wu Ming grabbed his luggage and got out of the car, and threw out another gold dollar: "Your tip!"
"Thank you, respectful and generous little sir!"
An excited voice came from the driver behind: "If you want to go to the best bar, don't forget Old Buck's advice!"
"Binafort University?"
Wu Ming carried his travel bag and looked at the school gate.
The marble Arc de Triomphe has a majestic flavor. The flowers and trees on both sides rippling under the delicate petals, which looks as beautiful as a dream. A group of students and parents gathered at the gate, obviously all the freshmen who came to report.
"Hi! Dude, new here?"
When he walked to the school gate, he was immediately stopped by a tall and thin boy.
The boy was wearing casual clothes, but he wore Binafort's school badge on his chest. His lips were thin, his eyes were small, and he smiled like a big mouse: "I'm your senior, you can call me Carter, first time When you come to university, you are not accompanied by your parents. Are you a little dizzy and don’t know the process? Do you want to enjoy the one-stop service of seniors? Help you sign up, register, and reassign dormitories, and you can also provide luggage delivery service!"
Seeing his enthusiastic look, for some reason, Wu Ming immediately thought of the salesman he had seen.
"Are you ready to volunteer to help me?"
Wu Ming showed a look of vigilance, and deliberately emphasized the word "obligation".
"obligation?"
Carter laughed dryly, and pointed to the name of the university: "This is a business university, everything is business! Time is money, my friend, as I have spent time for you, I deserve some reward!"
He rubbed his fingers, but unfortunately, his face was so unflattering that everyone who saw it unconsciously wanted to hold his pockets tightly.
In fact, Carter is also quite helpless, his price is already the lowest among all the students, but because of the influence of this appearance, his income ranks at the bottom of the club, which is a shame for the club - social activities in the university will only More, and whether they can get money out of the pockets of this group of junior students is regarded as an important criterion to measure their ability.
"You're right, time is money!"
Just when Carter was in despair, Wu Ming looked at the bustling crowd and shook the gold coins in his hand: "Use the fastest speed to complete all this to my satisfaction, and you will get what you deserve !"
"no problem!"
This request sounded like sounds of nature to Carter, and he immediately agreed in a hurry.
