The steam difference engines and analysis engines of this world were equivalent to computers.
The difficulty of building them, apart from the government agencies and a few tycoons, was simply hellish for individuals.
For the simplest example, an ordinary and small difference engine could only automatically process the calculation of different functions and simultaneously process six different 9-digit numbers with a calculation accuracy of 20 decimal places. It was considered the most basic unit of the difference engine.
But such a machine contained tens of thousands of parts, with a total weight of more than 10 tons! Even the precision of each part had to be within a thousandth of an inch!
For ordinary people, just the cost of materials alone would make them bankrupt.
When Wu Ming had seen the blueprints, he had deeply lamented that the computers of this steam era were really not something that ordinary people could afford to play with.
Of course, after getting the God's Space this time, he immediately went to the library again and copied all the blueprints and parts.
"Creation!"
Wu Ming exclaimed in a low voice. His sea of spiritual power trembled, and dark and shiny metal parts appeared out of thin air.
After all, it was just an illusory object in the master space. There was no need for a lot of materials. A little spiritual power was enough to transform it.
Crack! Crack!
There seemed to be countless large transparent hands in the air, as if they were master-level engineers assembling tens of thousands of parts, forming a standard difference engine that was a combination of gears, metal rods, and conveyor belts.
"The computing power of a difference engine is too insignificant … If I want to complete my design, I have to use the combined computing form of multiple difference engines …"
Wu Ming snapped his fingers.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
In the void, the same scene appeared once again. Close to a hundred thousand difference engines descended, forming an extremely spectacular cluster of steel.
"I'm afraid that even the Royal Institute of Golden Oak Kingdom wouldn't dare to do something like this, right?"
Whoosh!
The same number of steam engines appeared, and the boilers burned fiercely. The steam passed through the valves, producing a huge propulsion force that pried the levers, causing the many wheels to spin rapidly.
"I have the power and the computing power. Finally, it's the analysis and control of the core …"
Wu Ming stretched out his hands horizontally.
In front of him, on the empty space at the center of the steel cluster that was specially reserved, a small hill-like analysis machine instantly appeared.
A large number of gears stored numbers, and through the control of the drilling machine, using the meshing, rotation, translation and other methods between the wheels to carry out numerical calculations, a huge database was formed.
"Although the model might not be the latest, with so much investment, this mechanical computer is definitely not inferior to any country's computer. No! It has already far exceeded … "
Of course, even if its computing capacity was already terrifying enough to be comparable to a AI, in the end, it was just a rigid program that was clumsy and complicated to the extreme.
"Metal Activation!"
"Enchant!"
Hence, Wu Ming then used the power of a spell technique to enhance the entire differential engine.
A layer of hazy fluorescent blue light bloomed on the entire machine, like blood vessels, and finally converged on the analysis machine in the center.
As the large amount of data was being calculated, the blue light became more and more translucent, beating like a heart.
"Please name it!"
On the basis of the terrifying calculation capacity of the steam computer, extraordinary spells played the role of turning stone into gold, forming a tower spirit that was a mixture of science fiction and mystery.
"Butler!"
Wu Ming said without asking.
"Name confirmed, AI butler at your service!"
The mechanical voice entered Wu Ming's ears.
This tower spirit did not have its own intelligence, at the end of the day it was still a rigid program. However, it was much more patient and meticulous than humans, and its computing power was even more terrifying. It was enough to take care of everything in God's Realm for Wu Ming, and lived up to its name of butler.
"If the Petitioner's Divine Kingdom was the power source of the realm, then this is the brain of the realm … It must also be well protected!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and this space was also isolated and firmly sealed.
"It's a pity … The butler 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, "Butler, show the state of God's Realm!"
* Boom! *
There was a faint vibration, and Wu Ming seemed to be able to sense the roar of the steam engine in the brain area and the calculation of many difference machines.
The hole punching machine spat out the numbers rapidly, and after the analysis machine summarized them, the final result appeared in front of Wu Ming through the conversion of the AI butler in the most understandable way.
[God's Realm]
[Owned areas: Intelligent brain area, Divine Kingdom area, unnamed area]
[Number of petitioners: 3,218]
[Spiritual force storage: 9,761 units]
…
"Digitizing spiritual force, I can finally do it …"
This unit of spiritual force was naturally defined by Wu Ming. Compared to Origin Force, one square of Origin Force could be converted into about a million units of spiritual force. From this, it could be seen how weak and useless this God's Realm was.
"This situation is even more destitute than when I first obtained the Main God's Realm …"
Wu Ming silently complained, "If I could send over a square of Origin Force, I wouldn't need to do this. I would have materialized the intelligent brain into reality long ago, and the God's Realm would cover everything …"
He blinked and stared at the spiritual force storage column, "The most important thing now is to collect as much spiritual force as possible. Fortunately, this world doesn't have anything else, but it has a huge advantage in terms of population and information dissemination … Finally, I'll build an illusory fairyland and select Reincarnators …"
Wu Ming's consciousness shook, and he immediately returned to his body.
…
On the steam train.
The whistle exploded, and the sound of metal levers could be heard. The bumpy train and hard seats gave people a rather uncomfortable feeling.
This was also the reason why many rich people preferred to travel by airship rather than by train.
'Is it so difficult to add some springs to reduce the shock? Or is it just plain stingy? '
Wu Ming silently complained in his heart, and then he heard the voice of the girl opposite him.
"Sir? Sir? "
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now!"
He apologized with a smile. That hearty and clean attitude made the girl opposite him blush, "What's the matter?"
"No! Nothing! "
She secretly scolded herself in her heart, hiding her somewhat flustered expression, "I just wanted to remind you! Yes! Remind you, there's only one more stop before we reach Caspar! "
"Oh, I see. Thank you!"
Wu Ming wasn't an insensitive person, but now was clearly not the time to indulge in these little entertainments.
When the train arrived at the station, and he carried his luggage off, the girl slapped her forehead in annoyance, "Oh no … I forgot to ask his name, and I didn't tell him either. I … I'm Missy …"
…
"Driver, to Bi Nafu Business University!"
This university was obviously very well-known in Caspar. The driver started the car without any hesitation, and even cast an admiring look, "Sir, are you a new student?"
"Yes, I'm here today!"
"Ha, I've seen quite a few new students like this today, but they all have parents accompanying them. It's rare to see an independent young master like you!"
The driver was quite talkative, and along the way, they talked from a very good restaurant near the train station to a newly planned industrial zone in Caspar.
Just as he was about to introduce Wu Ming to the best bars in the city and the hottest dancers, the gates of Bi Nafu University were already standing in front of Wu Ming.
"Thank you for your advice and advice!"
Wu Ming grabbed his luggage and got off the car, and threw out a gold note, "Your tip!"
"Thank you, respected and generous young master!"
The driver's excited voice came from behind. "If you want to go to the best bar, don't forget Old Buck's advice!"
"Bi Nafu University?"
Wu Ming carried his travel bag and looked at the school gates.
The marble arch of triumph had a very majestic feel to it, and the flower trees on both sides rippled with fine petals, looking as beautiful as a dream. A group of students and parents had already gathered at the gates, clearly new students here to report.
"Hey, buddy! Are you new here? "
When he walked to the school gates, he was immediately stopped by a tall, thin boy.
The boy was wearing casual clothes, but he had the Bi Nafu University badge on his chest. His lips were very thin, and his eyes were very small. When he smiled, he looked like a big mouse. "I'm your senior, you can call me Carter. This is your first time coming to university without your parents. Are you a little dizzy? Don't you know the process? Do you want to enjoy my one-stop service? I'll help you register, register, and assign you a dorm. I can even send you your luggage! "
Seeing his enthusiastic look, for some reason, Wu Ming immediately thought of the salesman he had seen before.
"Are you going to help me voluntarily?"
Wu Ming put on a vigilant look, and deliberately emphasized the word "voluntarily."
"Voluntarily?"
Carter laughed dryly and pointed at the name of the university. "This is a business university, everything is business! Time is money, my friend. As someone who has spent time for you, I should naturally be rewarded! "
He rubbed his fingers. Unfortunately, his appearance was really not flattering. Everyone who saw it would unconsciously want to hold their pockets tightly.
In fact, Carter was also quite helpless. His salary was already the lowest among all the students, but because of the influence of his appearance, his income was ranked at the bottom of the club. It was simply a shame for the club — there would only be more social activities in the university, and whether or not he could take money out of the pockets of these juniors was seen as an important measure of their ability.
"You're right, time is money!"
Just when Carter was in despair, Wu Ming looked at the bustling crowd over there and shook the gold ingot in his hand. "Use the fastest speed to settle all of this to my satisfaction, and you will get what you deserve!"
"No problem!"
This request sounded like music to Carter's ears, and he immediately agreed.
