Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1237: More Than Just Service
"It seems to taste really good." Shangluo was eating bread.

At least in terms of taste, the bread is impeccable.

The chef was not picky about this. The chimneys seen on the ship before were not the power system - the power of the entire ship was a perpetual motion machine. As long as it could continue to inhale warm seawater, it could continue to produce things by expelling ice. Those chimneys were actually connected to the ovens.

The fuel tanks on this ship are not filled with coal, but with oak charcoal, which is specially made for baking. This hardwood burns steadily, making it easier to control the temperature of the oven. Since there is almost no ash or smoke, it will not contaminate the bread itself. The only drawback is that the charcoal itself lacks flavor. However, for pita bread, the flavor of the charcoal fire is not too important, as long as the baking method is appropriate.

When baked well, pita bread strikes a balance between being pliable and tough, yet still maintaining a nice texture right out of the pan.

Shangluo is eating hot pita bread that the chef personally took off the production line. It was placed on a heated tray to ensure that it still tastes the best when it is delivered to Shangluo.

"Senior Fu, how do you think it tastes?"

"Don't say anything yet." Fu Yuanshan stuffed a piece of cake in his mouth, "Don't say anything yet."

"Um, is it delicious?"

"Wait, wait until I finish eating. I'm really hungry. Do you have any drinks?" he asked the chef next to him.

"Yes, yes, yes. The butler of the King of Rome is dedicated to serving the guests of the King of Rome. We will serve you as we serve the King of Rome." Within 30 seconds, another robot came running from the roll-on/roll-off unloading lane. Although it was running on two legs, the tray in its hand was as stable as a platform. The glass bottles and glasses on the tray did not even leave the tray.

"This is grape juice harvested in the Virginia sunshine. Please taste it."

"Thank you." Fu Yuanshan took the cup and took a sip.

"Hmm!!!" He was suddenly stunned. "There is actually juice in this world that can go well with bread! This juice is as rich as jam. It not only complements the bland taste, but also blends with the baking aroma of the bread itself. This combination is really genius!"

"Because this juice is just concentrated enough to be a good accompaniment to the meal," the chef said modestly. "It's not good to have too much water or too much thick juice. If it's too thick, it may leave a lingering taste in your mouth and give the bread an unwanted taste. If it's too watery, it will dilute the taste. We chose this juice to be as rich and full-bodied as possible while ensuring that you enjoy the meal. I hope you like it."

"I love it! So, where can I buy it?"

"You don't need to buy it. The Columbian Automaton State is dedicated to the service of the King of Rome and his friends. You can drink as much as you want."

"But what if I still want to drink after I get home?"

"That's easy," the chef replied. "We can send a beverage slave to your home. He will carry a portable refrigeration device and follow you. He will deliver the drink to you at any time and any place as long as you want a drink. When the drink stock is low, we will also replenish the stock in advance according to your drinking habits to ensure that your cup is always full of amber beauty."

"Hey, Shangluo." Fu Yuanshan nudged him with his shoulder. "These errand boys you found are really good."

"The chef is excellent at his job, and there is nothing wrong with it, but I am worried about other things."

[Shangluo, the calculation results are out.]

"How to say?"

The result of this calculation is related to the future direction of the entire Columbian Automaton Country and even the entire world. Three minutes ago, Shang Luo's first reaction after hearing the chef call himself "Master" was -

"Can you turn this off?"

"Yes, of course." The chef from three minutes ago immediately replied, "Your wish is our mission. If you want to terminate our service, we will terminate our current behavior without hesitation."

"Okay, let's terminate it." Although this is not entirely a bad thing, Shangluo wants to completely control the situation within his control. The Colombian Automaton Country is obviously beyond this range. Now that the chef himself is here, Shangluo intends to give the order to shut down.

"Understood. We will start the termination process immediately." The loyal chef responded immediately, "We are calculating the time required for the shutdown."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

【Wan La! Shangluo, I remember that the Vulcan core cannot be shut down casually when it is running - it is a perpetual motion machine, and it does not need external participation to operate. But this also means that the outside world cannot interfere with the behavior of this perpetual motion machine. After the shutdown command is issued, the process cannot be terminated immediately, and each of its components must respond to the results. 】

"Don't they say that once it starts running, the temperature will drop and it will stop automatically when it reaches absolute zero?"

[That's true - but the premise is that the volume can't be too large! Once the volume is too large, the cooling process will be calculated in years! So according to the scientific ethics of the Muses Palace, we generally won't build a Vulcan core that is too large, we will only find ways to improve efficiency. ]

"What about this one?!" Shang Luo pointed to a giant ship of hundreds of thousands of tons next to him. It had the logo of the Pompey family printed on it. It was obviously not built now, but was built before.

【Wait a minute. We need to do some calculations.】

Three minutes later.

"The results are out. The result given by Alexander is: it will take at least 512 years to close. Yes, 512 years."

"Wait a minute." Shangluo asked, "Can we just leave it alone like this?"

"If left alone, it will continue to freeze the surrounding world until the entire world is frozen! This may be the ultimate plan prepared by the Pompey family! Once it is running, they will have the qualifications to negotiate with the world."

"What if I blow it up?!"

"Heaven and earth are one! 20 ships means 20 explosions! And I don't even know how to blow it up. The material of this thing is self-locking, which means that once it starts running, it has nothing to do with the physical laws of the outside world."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King of Rome." The chef lowered his head. "It's our servants' fault that we have caused you trouble."

"Forget it, forget it. It's not your fault. This was done by the Pompey family. Now they are finished. It can be said that there is no evidence. So, Apollonia, what should we do now?"

[You can only find a way to keep these Vulcan cores running. You can use them for other purposes. But you can't leave the sea too far away, because the only thing that can keep them warm is seawater, and there is no such large flow anywhere else. Before there is a better disposal solution, letting them continue to make bread may be the best choice. Their conversion efficiency is very high. ]
