Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 2 Miracle
Hearing movement behind them, the three of them turned their heads together and saw Shangluo.

"This is... ah, it's Xiaoshang. Come on, come on. It's really impossible to ask your father for this job, so I can only ask you to do it."

The three of them pulled Shangluo up and walked up.Putting aside the green can of Wangzai milk, he pushed Shangluo onto the red bench instead.

"Xiao Shang, did you find anything? Hurry up and point us out, we are going crazy!"

"Uh..." Shang Luo froze for a moment, "You three seniors, you don't have to be so polite."

"Shang Xiaoyou, I've heard rumors that you have a seven-apertured exquisite heart before. You can communicate with this electrician to find out what's wrong with him? We have a few level 6 fitters around it to serve, I have been busy for several months, but this thing will stop working when it feels uncomfortable. Just now there was a 'boom', we don't know what's wrong, it just tripped. You heard the movement outside Already?"

Shangluo didn't hear the movement, but his own light bulb did blow up.

But could grid fluctuations blow a light bulb?Shangluo has never studied electrician, so he doesn't know much about it.But considering that the generator was invented less than 10 years ago, anything could go wrong.

But several old fitters have talked about this, and he can't justify it if he doesn't help.According to past experience, he should be able to feel some "Qi" flow through touch.

Shangluo uncovered the spell and put his hand on the casing of the generator.

Dazed, confused.

This is the emotion Shangluo felt, just like when he first traveled to this world.

Suddenly, a beam of light opened the field of vision, the heavy hammer struck sparks on the anvil, and the shell was welded and formed in the arc and flame.The Taoist priest in cassock was consecrated with talisman water, boarded and disembarked amidst the sound of gun salutes, and was finally placed here.However, "self" is indeed not the only center of the power grid here, and there is another unknown source of interference.Incongruous clutter beats in the heart.

Anger, pain.and increasingly confused.

After recovering, Shang Luo was stunned.It seems that there are some inexplicable fragments flashing in the mind, which are far more specific than the "gas sense" from those simple machines.He felt part of the "memory" of this machine, and even "emotions."

Do machines have memory too?Do machines have emotions?Perhaps a simple machine like an alarm clock can only produce the prototype of "qi", but a complex machine like a generator can produce "memory"?
"Then what am I? Where do I come from? What am I going to do?"

After substituting the memory of the generator, Shangluo was a little confused.

"Hey, Xiaoshang!" The old fitter patted him awake, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

"What about the generator?"

Shangluo frowned: "It's not easy to describe. It's a little unhappy."

"what?"

"It's just that the soul of the machine is unhappy." Shang Luo replied.

"Look, let me tell you!" The old fitter who woke up Shangluo turned around and shouted to the other two, "I said it's not our problem, it's metaphysics! We obviously operated according to the manual, but the problem is that the machine is out of control. Yue! Tribute cigarettes and Wangzai milk are useless, red benches and Wulei Qingxin Mantra are useless, let the experts do the work!"

"Xiao Shang, let's see how to fix it! We are almost collapsed by this lord. There are problems with this thing every day. Do we still need to upgrade to level 7?"

"Let me think about it." Shang Luo took a step back and carefully observed the generator.

The high-speed steam engine next to it is three stories high, and the huge roar has never stopped from the beginning to the end.And this generator is quite miniature, only the size of a small car.

The drive shaft of the steam engine is directly connected to a gearbox, which is idling at this time and does not drive the generator itself.

"Unhappy, aren't you? How can I make you happy?" Shang Luo cast a glance at Wang Zai's milk, which was still on the ground, and three half-burned cigarettes, the sparks of which were still flickering.

"It doesn't seem to be useful to worship? Then let me ask you."

Shangluo put his hand on the generator again.

Refuse
"Huh? Such a big temper?"

This time there was not only a reaction, but also a feeling of "rejection".

"Then there seems to be only one way—old men, take down my toolbox. Yes, I want that little hammer."

The old fitter threw the hammer over, and Shang Luo reached out to catch it.

Holding the small hammer, Shang Luo kept in touch with the generator with one hand, turned half a circle around the generator, and stopped. He felt that the emotion conveyed by this position was the most intense.

"Huh? Looks like it's here."

Shang Luo took out the chalk that every fitter would carry with him, drew a circle on the place where his hand was pressed, and then held up the small hammer——

"Clang!" There was a sound, and sparks flew everywhere when the hammer hit.

reject!reject!reject!

Strong resistance came from the fingertips.

"Heh." Shang Luo sneered, holding the handle of the hammer with both hands, raised it above his head, and turned around to ask, "What mantra did you recite just now? The Wulei Qingxin Mantra, right? How did you recite it... Oh, I see."

He struck down with all his strength, and shouted out the five thunders clearing heart mantra with the energy of his dantian:

"Left Zero Right Fire! Lei Gong help me!"

With a sound of "boom", the hammer head smashed out a cloud of sparks, and a large piece of the generator's paint was smashed off.

A muffled beep loomed, rising in pitch and volume.No one pressed the restart button, but the generator jumped to restart itself.

light is on.

"You three, just do this." Under the stunned gaze of the old fitter, Shang Luo pasted the charm that had just landed on the part where the paint was knocked off:
"Just use this yellow paper to mark it. Next time you don't obey me, beat him up! Hit it here, if it's not enough, hit it a few more times. Hit it until it's back to normal. If a household appliance breaks down, it should be repaired like this. Don't let it get used to. .I got used to something wrong."

"Is this okay?"

"Similar causes can lead to similar effects. I think it's okay." He put the hammer back into the toolbox while talking, "Then I'm leaving, call me next time if you have any problems."

"Hey, wait! Xiaoshang, please don't leave, I can't let you work for nothing, and I will treat you to a big meal anyway!"

The top of the Golden Gate Building is the Governor's Mansion, but the 14-story podium below is the Golden Gate Hotel.It is the place where the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion entertains guests, and it is also the canteen of the Acropolis of San Francisco.Three meals a day, with vouchers can eat for free.However, it is limited to craftsmen and military households, because craftsmen and military households came to Yangzhou on business, and the imperial court took care of the food.

The food there is actually very good, but Shangluo has never liked it.
"The 2nd floor is free, but the 3rd floor needs extra money to eat. Let's walk around, it's almost time for dinner, let's hurry up when there are few people. Come, come, go together, go together, all go."

"Hi~" waved to the guard who sent him off, Shang Luo held the door and went back to the watch shop.

This meal is really too full, he ate too many radishes, and now his stomach is still full of gas.

That's right, the so-called "big meal" is radish.

"Hi~~~" He hiccupped again, "Why are they always radishes? The free meal on the second floor is also carrot stew, but the meals that cost money on the third floor are all radishes, and they are colorful. It’s just a carrot meeting.”

Open the door, because the light bulb is out, the room is pitch black, you can't see anything.He turned off the switch of the light bulb casually, and was about to change it with a new light bulb he had brought from the Acropolis.

"Are you full? Very good, we can go on the road." A cold voice came from behind the door.

Before Shang Luo could yell out, a sack wrapped him in from top to bottom.Both eyes are black.

Several people carried him to the back door, and Shang Luo was grabbed by the sack and stuffed into the trunk.

The car started, and there was a strong roar from the engine in the front.Then there was a whirlwind——

"Knock, click."

When I regained my composure, the wheels drove over several speed bumps.The car was out of town, and he didn't even know the direction, whether he had passed the Golden Gate Bridge or not.

Less than half a minute after leaving the house, the road conditions suddenly deteriorated.The wheels were pressing on the stones and speeding on the potholed concrete road, and every now and then the car would almost fly into the air.But the driver seemed to be in a hurry, so he just hit the accelerator and ran all the way.

Slowly, the surrounding smell changed.It is no longer the looming smell of smoke in the city-the aroma of wheat seedlings seeps in from the closed car windows.It was the time when the wheat seedlings were grouting. If he took off the blindfold at this time, he knew that he should be able to see the endless green fields.This is the case in most parts of the New World, where every possible field is properly cultivated.The dull roar of compression ignition tractors came from a distance, and it was the sound of pesticides being sprayed in the wheat fields.Gasoline saved elsewhere is basically used here.

In addition to the wheat field is the radish field.In addition to producing grain, Yangzhou produces those big radishes.

After a few hours, the road conditions suddenly deteriorated.Just now, even if it was potholed, it was at least a cement road, but now it has become a dirt road.Even military vehicles wobble from side to side like a tumbler on this kind of road.

Fortunately, the car stopped shortly after leaving the main road.

"Get out of the car, Mr. Shang." After several hours, they finally spoke their first words.

A big man with a red neck opened the car door for him, helped him out of the car, and took off the blindfold for him.

He subconsciously closed his eyes to prevent the sudden restoration of light from piercing his eyes.But it was still pitch black around—

Cold drops of water dripped from above, from stalactites.Through the faint light, Shangluo saw a wet flag spread among the stalactites: the cross of England, the cross of Scotland, and the cross of Ireland were arranged in a Union flag.

"That is."

Shangluo knew that it was impossible for the national flag to appear at this moment.A country named "Great Britain" has never been established in this world. England, Scotland, and Ireland are now independent of each other.The only thing that flies in London is the English flag, which is obviously not from this era.

"The flag of the British Empire. An empire where the sun never set, as it should have been, the Victorian era as it should have been. Not that big shack that smells like horse manure by the Thames now. Our angels, will help us rebuild the empire, and we will Drink Darjeeling black tea again."

"You're going to rebel? Do you know what you're doing?"

Shangluo reminded them in a stern tone.There are no civilians who come to Yangzhou, and almost everyone has a mission.And kidnapping officials is a dead end, and they will be swept away by Li Ting.

"Of course, of course we know what's going to happen. In the worst case scenario, we'll be plowed, each of us will be skinned and weeded. But you are a guest of the angels, and we must invite you. Please go to Come forward, the angels and senators are waiting for you."
