I! Pretending to Be Reborn, Director of Doomsday Hoax

Joseph is also the same robot. They are a group of fanatical machine builders, and they all have a buried dream in their hearts--

Go back to 200 years ago, the era of industrial revolution, era of life, Victoria's steam age, and take a look at Babbage's difference engine with your own eyes.

Joseph originally thought that this was a dream that would only happen after going to heaven, but now, with the clues of the difference machine, the Dragon Kingdom appeared!

How can this make him calm?

Stefan was even angrier. He knew the difference engine. As the ancestor of the computer, he also knew the operating principle of the difference engine.

"That's the view of those who major in mechanical engineering. From the perspective of our chip technology developers, the difference engine's calculation speed is too different!"

"Don't think that the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip is simple, change your mind, let me tell you a group of pedantic mechanics about the technology of the chip!"

"In a metal sheet the size of a fingernail, hundreds of millions of gears are arranged layer by layer. The VLSIs of these gears are coordinated, and there will be no major failures for several years!"

Stefan said fiercely: "We don't need all the chips, we only need to take out the tip of the chip iceberg, one in tens of thousands, one in millions, and use this small part of chips to make physical and mechanical structures, put In front of you, you can understand how complicated this thing is!"

"In the chip, there are hundreds of millions of such structures."

"Difference machine, can it be compared? The difference in computing power is between [-] billion and [-] billion times. The computing power of the difference machine is heavy and slow!"

Joseph blushed, he hated such an arrogant junior.

"Bastard! The beauty of the difference engine lies in its precise and ingenious structure. In the era of extreme cold, can the semiconductors in the chip maintain their original properties? Differential function! It has extremely stable mechanical characteristics, and it has remained stable for more than ten years. No problem!"

"Do you think that in the industrial age, the power of steam engines is black smoke and cinders everywhere. In factories, there are disgraced workers sweating profusely with shovels, and complex gears and steam pipes are prone to failure?"

"Wrong, completely wrong! The difference engine has a clean steam structure, and the huge gear device and steam unit can run, transmit, and transform efficiently and stably. The difference engine is not inferior to an electronic computer!" More and more people with machinery The scientist in the background stood up and stood up for Joseph.

They also can't understand juniors like Stefan.

Seeing that the scene was about to lose control, Ain interrupted everyone and said, "Everyone, Long Guo said very clearly, 'The difference machine will be the giant root of the technology tree in the extremely cold era, and it is the mechanical technology. The origin of the tree, in the era of extreme cold, the difference engine will be the only computer standing in the bone-chilling wind.'…”

He looked at Stefan and said: "Therefore, you don't have to argue anymore. Your computer chips may have powerful computing power in the present age. In the era of extreme cold, it is the difference engine that can play a huge role."

After finishing speaking, Ain turned his head to look at Joseph again, and said in greeting: "Excuse me, if we also develop the difference engine, how much will it cost?"

Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid...the price will not be small!"

Ain saw Joseph's embarrassment, and said with a dignified expression, "If I ask you to make it, how many days can it be completed?"

Most of the enthusiasm in Joseph's eyes was extinguished, and he said bitterly: "Indefinitely. Even if we spend our entire lives as mechanics, we can't make it."

His eyes drifted away, as if he saw a steam-powered computer made of brass tubes, emitting a steamy smell, and the corners were stained with dark green mud.

Yoder was very excited at first, he was a businessman, and he had long seen the huge business opportunities.

He originally wanted Joseph and others to develop the difference engine, and then sell it like a cryogenic chip to earn back the Horse-Ridge cryogenic control chip.

However, judging from Joseph's expression, the cost of developing the difference engine will not be small, and the input may be seriously disproportionate to the output.

Joad had to dismiss the idea.

He asked, "Ain, maybe Berry Country doesn't need a difference engine."

Ain turned his head and said: "Master Commander, there was a saying in Longguo back then, which was 'not having a sword in your hand is not the same as having a sword and not using it'"

He revisited the announcement of the Crisis Bureau, shook his head, paid more attention to it, and said: "Their difference engine is not just a computer. The difference engine is just another huge backbone of a technology tree. With the help of the difference engine, technology It can develop vertically and horizontally in the direction of pure machinery."

"There will be a mechanical civilization, and the great mechanical revolution will be built on the difference engine!!"

Ain looked at Yoder solemnly, and said solemnly: "So do you understand, Lord Commander, what we build is not a difference engine, but a key to open a new era."

"And this key is the difference engine!"

Completely rely on gears to realize the functions of the computer.

In the eyes of contemporary people, this is unimaginable and impossible to achieve.

However, in the industrial age at the peak of human beings, more than 200 years ago, someone put such a mechanical design into practice!

Joseph, Ain, and other people with a background in mechanics were all trembling at the moment, too excited to speak.

Perhaps, the industrial age of mankind has also returned...

This time the mechanical revolution will be more powerful than ever before, and it will sweep the world! !

Yoder finally realized the meaning behind the difference engine, his blond hair was messed up, and these things made him very upset.

Berry Country is used to the position of Big Brother, used to walking in front and being chased by others.

But at this moment, every step of Berry Country is following Long Country. This feeling of constantly imitating but always lagging behind by several steps makes Yod suffocate!

"Professor Joseph, masters of mechanics!"

Joad couldn't sit still, stood up, and ordered loudly:

"Tell me a budget and a deadline, and then give a plan for the difference engine!"

Joseph was old, and he was not afraid of Yoder's leadership position at all. He stood up and said, "Master Commander, since you priced the Horse-Ridge low-temperature control chip at 300 billion dollars, then the difference engine, which is the backbone of the technological tree of the mechanical age, The budget will not be low."

"A conservative estimate, three trillion U.S. dollars."

Yoder was furious; "You are amusing me!"

Not to be outdone, Joseph said, "Master Commander, do you know what the Difference Engine represents? You don't even understand how complicated its structure is and how exquisite its design is. Just let us make it, and you are just amusing us!"

About German Seymour.

Ain was afraid that Joseph would be pissed to death by the impulsive leader, Yoder, so he hurried out to ease the atmosphere.

"Master Commander, Academician Joseph, there is no need to argue."

"As far as I know, the Difference Engine was created by Babbage of the Eagle Country. Therefore, the information about the Difference Engine must be in the Eagle Country."

"And we must also manufacture a difference machine. Whether it is for Berry Country or to satisfy the dreams of you mechanical masters, the advent of the difference machine is very important."

"In the technology tree of electric power computer, our Berry Country has always occupied a dominant position, forming a monopoly on core electronic devices, high-end general-purpose chips and basic software, including very large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing technology and complete sets of processes."

"If you don't plant this technological tree of the mechanical age as soon as possible, in the future... the Dragon Kingdom may form a monopoly, and by then, the situation will be completely reversed!!"

This sentence made everyone present feel a sense of panic.

In the era of electric computers, Berry Country's chip technology monopolizes the world, and Berry Country has imposed chip sanctions on Dragon Country several times, which has severely hit Dragon Country's chip industry, including smartphones and computers.

And in the future,

Could it be that Boss Berry will also be attacked by the Dragon Kingdom, and will be suppressed everywhere in the mechanical age...?

Joseph shrugged his shoulders. He knew very well what the Difference Engine represented. It was the key to a new era and the foundation of the Mechanical Age.

"Professor Ain, we... will try our best to create a difference engine and plant a new technology tree for Berry Country!" Joseph stood up and said solemnly.

Eagle Country.

This former empire on which the sun never sets, is now shaken by a piece of news from the crisis bureau.

"The Difference Engine?! Isn't that a machine built by our country's Babbage?"

"It has actually become the secret equipment of the Dragon Kingdom!!"

"This kind of thing has been lost for a long time. Our Lun Dun Science Museum has one, but it is just a replica. It is scrapped after being used once. How could Dragon Kingdom develop it!"

"Even our country doesn't have a difference engine, how did they get it!"

"Damn the nobles of the Eagle Kingdom, if they hadn't obstructed them back then, Babbage's Difference Engine would have been passed down! These stupid nobles!!"

Eagle Kingdom, in the chamber.

The high-nosed leader of the Eagle Kingdom had a gloomy face and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Our huge ship has also been looking for a computer that can operate in extreme cold!"

"But now, Longguo suddenly proposed the difference engine, and you just told me that the purely mechanically driven difference engine is indeed a good substitute..."

"Then I would like to ask, the difference machine was originally made by us Eagle Country people. You people have brought it up long ago, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and waited for the Dragon Kingdom to announce it, and you said it was indeed feasible! You are really a bunch of idiots !

In the chamber, many members of the council and the Academy of Sciences all lowered their heads, not daring to speak out.

At this time, whoever dares to talk back will be regarded as the target of catharsis by the leader of the Eagle Kingdom.

After more than ten minutes, the commander's anger subsided a little, panting heavily, and cursed: "What about the giant ship research and development department, tell me, is it possible for Longguo to build a difference engine that we can't even make?"

An old woman with blue eyes stood up. Her name was Elizabeth Mary. She was an ace mechanic of the Eagle Country military. She was detained by Berry Country decades ago.

It is said that Berry Country's assessment of Mary is equivalent to the sum of five tank battalions, five machine gun rifle battalions, and two howitzer battalions...

Mary's deterrence to Berry Country was almost equivalent to a well-equipped heavy weapon force!

After the announcement of the plan for the giant ship on which the sun never sets, Mary deservedly became the head, chief mechanic, and engineer of the giant ship research and development department.

Seeing Mary standing up, even the leader of the Eagle Kingdom straightened up subconsciously to express his respect.

This is the same as the Queen of the Eagle Country, the treasure of the Eagle Country.

Moreover, Mary was born as a commoner, and she gained such love and status entirely by relying on her terrifying mechanical talents and outstanding contributions to the Eagle Kingdom.

In a sense, his status as a commander who could be replaced at any time was not as good as that of Mary!

"Ms. Mary, Longguo, can you really build a difference machine?" The leader of Yingguo asked respectfully, his tone softened a lot. .

Chapter 99 Spaceship, Moon Palace Project!

Elizabeth Mary said hoarsely, "The Difference Engine is a masterpiece of the Victorian era."

Her eyes were full of fascination, and she continued: "In that era, steam-driven steel locomotives set off roaringly, taking human beings away from the agricultural society where they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, with huge chimneys and the darkness of the sky. Smoke, with boilers that work around the clock and gears that fit perfectly, the age of machinery begins here..."

"In that era, people's fantasy about the future was to see a distant steel port, iron-clad battleships moored in it, and airships floating in the sky that could block the sun. Tongban rule, it is full of calculation results."

Mary's old voice was extremely excited, and she continued: "During the operation of the difference engine, the internal flywheels are tightly engaged with each other, conveying a huge sense of power. But so far, no one has been able to recreate the difference engine."

"Our Lun Dun Science Museum has tried it, but the imitation, after one calculation, it collapsed..."

"I know how ingenious the Difference Engine is. We have some blueprints from Babbage and know the general structure of the Difference Engine, but we can't make it. Longguo can't build a Difference-Engine without knowing anything! "The commander breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He quickly became excited again, and asked: "This is a rare opportunity for our empire on which the sun never sets, to return to the world where the flag of conquest is planted all over the world!"

Mary nodded and said, "That's right. This statement from Longguo can already explain the status of the Difference Engine."

"The glory of our never-ending empire is actually a historical issue. In the early days of power computers and computer programming, Berry Country and other countries seized this opportunity and were ecologicalized by them."

"Therefore, in this scientific and technological civilization built on supercomputers, Berry Country and other countries have the absolute right to speak, and they are the rule makers."
