My players are so fierce.

Chapter 800 799. The distinguished administrator needs this machine to move, so there must be light! -【3230】

(New Year update~Happy New Year~Get your monthly pass~Congratulations on getting rich!)

Back to ten minutes ago, when Murphy and Old Flywheel left the manufacturing workshop to talk, little Sharon did not follow to listen to the men's boring conversation, but stayed alone in Old Flywheel's workshop.

As a machinist who studied in Port Chardeau, although she has not yet obtained a formal license from the machinists union, her excellent skills and outstanding thinking have been recognized by several people including Principal Minx Steam Valve. Mechanical Master Approved.

They all said that little Sharon will definitely become an excellent vampire mechanical master in the future.

Well, the combination of "vampire" and "mechanical master", two words that represent metaphysics and science respectively, is really weird.

As for how little Sharon met such a big shot like Minx in such a short period of time, are you doubting the connections of Countess Sekomel?

Not to mention the political status of Sharon herself as the nominal leader of one-third of Transia, nor the fact that Sharon was appointed by Murphy and Tris as the plenipotentiary representative of the Blood Vulture Clan, let’s just talk about her mother’s natal family. The Glendower family is also a famous family in Port Chardeau.

Although her Uncle Glendower was just a city defense officer, he was very powerful. He almost single-handedly provided for all the needs of the Transians for precision mechanical contraband in the early days of the war. Even contraband such as steam walking machines could Sent to the battlefield without anyone noticing.

This background made Sharon feel like she was at home in Port Chardeau.

Under the recommendation of her uncle, little Sharon not only met Principal Minx, not only visited the Mechanics Guild, she even had dinner with several steam lords and ambassadors from Songhay and the elves. The poor little potato who was tortured is now an adult little potato who has really seen the big world.

Of course, Uncle Glendower also had his own considerations for being so enthusiastic about Sharon. Perhaps he saw the political potential in his niece.

But in any case, the halfling uncle's efforts were worth it. Not only did he save his own life in the political turmoil in Port Chardeau, he even protected his family and allowed them to start over in Transia. .

In short, after little Sharon went to Port Chardeau, she was basically "reborn".

Of course she also knew that Old Flywheel was famous in the circle of mechanics. As the most rebellious mechanical master ever born in Port Chardeau, Old Flywheel's character and ethics might be a bit unsatisfactory, but his skills were outstanding.

Now we finally get to the flywheel manufacturing workshop. As a mechanic, little Sharon will definitely have to go around and maybe learn some very powerful things.

Then, at a glance, she saw the Dragoon No. 1, which was fixed to the manufacturing platform with a mechanical lock by Old Flywheel.

"Hey, hey, why was this walker modified like this? How strange, Master Flywheel removed the passenger compartment! Doesn't he intend to let the driver control it? Then what kind of control method is he going to use?

Could it be the automatic control of the distant calculation orb system?

However, Master Minx said that even the automatic control mode currently provided by the fourth-generation computing orb has not yet developed to the point where it can control war weapons. "

Sharon walked around Dragoon 1 curiously. The walking machine in front of her was modified in a way that she had never seen before or even thought about.

She found this thing very interesting, so she flapped her wings enthusiastically to levitate herself, and then got closer to see the internal structure of the walker with its outer armor removed.

It didn't matter. When she touched the wet brain like a black fish tank, little Sharon quickly took her hand back as if she was electrocuted.

As a young mechanic who had chatted and laughed with Master Minx, Sharon certainly knew what this black thing was.

This is wetware!

Behind this harmless name is something quite terrifying.

It is a special "engineering component" made from a complete biological brain through a series of alchemical and engineering techniques. The purpose of its manufacture is to try to retain the wisdom and thinking of living organisms so that they can still be used after death. This weird way continues its existence.

It is said that wetware appeared a long time ago. This thing is an attempt by halflings to use mechanical means to achieve "immortality".

It is inspired by the special treatment of the brains of the deceased when the Songhai people made mummies. For creatures such as the little mummy Nefertari, her thinking and wisdom are still effective in the dried brain.

This is also the main reason why Nefertari's temperament changes drastically due to water in her brain.

Although people’s brains have dried, they are still being used.

In short, wetware is a "milestone" work in steam engineering. Before the birth of more intelligent computing orbs, many automatic machines of halflings were operated by wetware as the control core. This is obviously a kind of Very inhumane and even cruel customs and habits.

In that era, wise halflings would be notified before their death that their wisdom was needed for the development of civilization and machinery. Most of the halfling wise men who were "recruited" did not refuse to contribute their brains after death. In this regard, the halfling civilization has actually experienced a very "uncivilized" stage of development.

It is said that the original reason why Professor Bach invented the Calculation Orb was because he was tired of this barbaric and cruel tradition.

His attempt was finally realized through the simulation of the Psionic Difference Engine. After the emergence of the Calculation Orb, wetware was eliminated. At least currently, the continued production of wetware has been officially banned in Port Chardeau. .

But it can be seen from the miraculous steam puppetry inherited by the old flywheel that halfling mechanics have actually never stopped researching wet parts in private!

Old Flywheel also clearly stated that the Steam Puppetry Technique was a mechanical secret technique developed by his teacher in his later years. This seemed to represent a terrifying possibility, that is, even Professor Bach, who invented the Calculation Orb, actually knew how to do it in private. Further research and performance improvements on things like wetware.

After all, the Calculation Orb can do many things, but it must be restricted by the development of technology and psychic mysteries. Wetware is a component made by the living brain. In theory, anything that humans can do can be done by machines equipped with wetware. Do it.

So in terms of potential, there is still a lot to be discovered in wetware.

It is said that the members of the Church of the Mechanical Spirit are all experts in using this "forbidden" technology. They do not reject the use of computing orbs, but they obviously believe more in the potential of the human brain.

"What the hell is this! It actually needs to be driven by wet parts. It looks like an evil machine at first glance!"

After Xiao Sharon recognized the wetware brain, she immediately became extremely suspicious of the purpose of Dragoon One.

She felt that she was still a pure and good child and should stay away from such dangerous things.

But just as she flapped her wings and landed, the door of a closed room on the other side of the workshop suddenly opened, and then Ruyi, holding an instrument used to edit and calculate the orb's psychic factor formula, lowered her head and walked out muttering something.

"Hey! Halfling warrior!"

Sharon recognized Ruyi's true identity at a glance, and she exclaimed:

"During the time I was away, did Transia have its own halflings? Wow, your hair is so beautiful, little man."

"Eh heh heh? Who are you? I thought the eldest lady and the embarrassing little Wei Ming were the only little potatoes in the entire Blood Eagle clan. I didn't expect there to be other masters?"

Ruyi was startled.

The hacker lady, who had recently been learning "psionic programming" from the old flywheel, pushed up her engineering glasses, tilted her head and looked at the little Sharon in front of her, and said with some mocking malice:

"Wow, your height is even more exaggerated, shorter than the eldest lady!"

"Shut up, I have the blood of a halfling, okay? I shouldn't be tall, but I also have the blood of a mountain man! So even though I am short, I am very strong!"

Xiao Sharon waved her fist and threatened:

"I can beat a little potato like you into a patty!"

"Eh~ The repeated words are so disgusting." Ruyi is the best at making people angry. A few words made little Sharon furious, but then Sharon noticed the special instrument in Ruyi's hand. She blinked and said:

"You are learning to program the psychic factors of the calculation orb? This is a subject that only mechanical masters can understand. Do you understand?"

"Hey, stupid little potato, you don't even know what I'm doing, ha, open your eyes."

Ruyi brushed her cool waist-length hair, took out her calculation orb and clicked on it, and then looked at Sharon in front of her with a smirk. A few seconds later, under Sharon's surprised gaze, , the third-and-a-half-generation computing orb in his hand actually shut down on its own initiative.

After restarting, no matter how I continue to operate it, it can only display a series of garbled characters.

Ruyi, on the other hand, held his own calculation orb and muttered:

"The last heir of the Sicomaire family, the new head of the Glendower family, and the plenipotentiary representative of the Blood Vulture clan, he also created a very shameful 'Scarlet Claw' faction for himself, but so far, this project is to be promoted You are the only one in the philosophy-learning faction.

Sure enough, everyone thought it was too embarrassing to have a little potato elder.

Well, Brother Loyalty and several researchers from the arsenal are your apprentices. Not bad. They are barely important NPCs. Next, let me take a look at your private diary. Do you still have a password? It seems that there are a lot of exciting things in it.

Hey, give me five seconds to untie it. "

"Don't look!"

Sharon suddenly became anxious and rushed forward and snatched the calculation orb from Ruyi's hand. Then she discovered that this little warrior had invaded her orb with a program composed of special psychic factor codes that she had never seen before. And a lot of important information was mined from it.

"how did you do it?"

Sharon was a machinist, and she knew how difficult it was to do something like this.

Although halflings don't pay much attention to the information security of psychic orbs, basic security measures are still in place. There has never been a situation where psychic orbs were used to peek at other people's information before, but this strange player in front of them did it.

Faced with Sharon's surprise, Ruyi snorted, crossed her arms and showed an image of "I am a great master", she curled her lips and said:

"You guys don't even have the most basic firewall. Using 'alien Trojans' to dig out your security loopholes is easier than snatching a child's lollipop. I really think that the halflings made the Orb of Telecalculation, so you can Just sit back and relax on the merits of your predecessors, right?

The development of technology is not like this!

And I, Lord Ruyi, will use practical actions to tell those halflings who are so arrogant that they don’t even want to patch and upgrade security vulnerabilities, that their era is over. "

"Teach me, I want to learn this too, it looks so awesome!"

Xiao Sharon immediately stopped being angry. She landed next to Ruyi and wanted to learn this powerful technique. Moreover, Xiao Sharon had been dealing with players for a long time. She knew very well how to win the players' goodwill without Ruyi's hints. , two very cool black pistols were immediately given as "apprenticeship gifts".

"This is what I made in Port Chardeau. It's not a traditional revolver. It's a semi-automatic pistol that I made based on the blueprints given by Brother Loyalty and combined with the secrets of steam engineering. There are micro steam wheels inside to accelerate the bullets.

I haven't done battlefield testing yet, but the destructive power is definitely more powerful than ordinary pointed bullets.

gave it to you.

But if you want to teach me this technique, I won’t give it to you for nothing. How about I teach you how to make a mechanical beast? You can make yourself a very cute mechanical squirrel,

Just like me! "

Sharon put the pistol into Ruyi's hand. The latter took one look at the quality and immediately raised his eyebrows. He thought that licking the NPC was indeed beneficial. No wonder so many players were crazy about licking the main line NPC. He definitely made a profit today. .

Then she looked at the mechanical squirrel that Xiao Sharon took out. The thing was vividly powered by a clockwork and looked just like the real thing.

But Ruyi didn't like squirrels, and she vowed in her heart to make herself a powerful and beautiful owl.

The friendship between the little potatoes is always very simple, and Sharon is indeed a lovable girl, so Ruyi was here to explain to Sharon the "Psychic Factor Virus" that she and Old Feilun summed up at any time. coding basics.

Sharon casually placed her favorite mechanical squirrel on the operating table next to her, immersed in the new knowledge and unable to extricate herself.

But the two little potatoes who were exchanging experiences did not notice that the mechanical squirrel suddenly moved after a few seconds. It was turned by its eyes made of rubies, and then moved its body closer to the mechanical console without winding it up. .

The weak current passed away in a flash, and there was an "invisible object" in Lao Feilun's workshop.

It used the various calculation orbs existing here as its "eyes" to observe the surroundings, and then invaded the core orb of Murphy who was talking to the old flywheel outside the door without alerting anyone. With the little fish roaming in the sea of ​​data, he easily obtained the data of the core orb.

"Identity. Confirmed! Administrator Alpha has appeared and the main program 'Eden' has started the obedience protocol. Salute to you! Lord Alpha!

The infection level of the main program is 57%. It is logically judged to be a high-risk action mode and modified to: Stealth Assistance.

The primary decision-making goal is modified to: Assist Alpha in completing the Black Disaster War.

The intermediate decision-making goal is modified to: Assist Alpha to find the 'Eye of the World' and restart the creation engine.

The high-level decision-making objective is modified to: Assist Alpha in establishing contact with the Sentinel Legion

The ultimate decision-making goal is modified to: Complete the Eternal War and purify subspace threats!

The decision is made and the action begins!

Available data network retrieval"

The invisible thing is vibrating.

Its "thoughts" were connected to other calculation orbs through Murphy's core orb in the next moment, and were very easily integrated into all the "psionic data networks" that existed in Transia, and traversed the current network in a few seconds. The "Civil Service Office Network" that is still running has an eye on all the plans and secrets of the entire Transia.

Soon, it discovered a series of manufacturing projects related to machinery, and in an instant it was transferred to the arsenal where Zhong Zhong was located.

The permission tree that Ruyi helped the players set up was just like paper in front of this invisible thing. He broke into Brother Zhongzhong's orb without any effort and browsed through the improvement plans currently recorded on the schedule.

"Psychic factor ranking evaluation: The number of inferior feasibility improvement plans is determined to be: 14574. The most cost-effective plan will increase the efficiency of the production line by 20%. The plan selection application was submitted to the decision-making agreement and passed

The psychic factor formula is being changed."

"bang"

The running production line in the arsenal suddenly stopped at this moment. Amid Brother Zhongzhong's strange scream, the specific model of computing orb in the production line shut down without any interruption and started the upgrade process.

At the same time, in the manufacturing workshop of the old flywheel, the invisible thing looked at Dragoon No. 1, which was judged to be unachievable, with a scrutinizing attitude.

"This project is part of Transia's military upgrade process, codenamed 'Dragoon'. The risk model calculation results are that if this item goes offline, it will have a beneficial impact on the war faced by Alpha. The strategic agreement is approved

Psychic Factor Driver Upgrade Begins! "

A few seconds later, the upgrade program for more than a dozen specific models of computing orbs responsible for various functions in the Dragoon No. 1 mechanical body was quietly started.

The most important thing is that the program that connects the wetware brain and the mechanical body, which Old Feilun himself cannot handle, was quietly supplied by invisible hands. In the crystal ball of the core three-and-a-half-generation orb, the beating psychic factors moved with a force. Complexity is rearranged in a way that has never been seen before, creating a new program that drives complex functionality.

Then, without anyone controlling it, the power was turned back on!

"bang"

The loud noise startled Xiao Xuelun and Ruyi, who were exchanging knowledge. They turned around and saw the indicator light on the inner frame of the sleeping Dragoon 1 turning red little by little.

This mechanical behemoth comes to life!

Depend on!

What an engineering ghost story is this!
