Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 347
The warehouse is at the back door of Xiyuan, behind Changchun Palace.Inside were stacks of boxes on shelves, each with a seal.One of the boxes had been opened and placed next to the door, and inside was the writer's clock.

The silver writer's clock is simple and harmonious with Roman style and classicism.There is no extra decoration, it is a bell with a brass case.But the ingenuity lies elsewhere - the clock is extraordinarily large, and the movement stuffed inside is quite "full".The writing puppet has no fancy decorations, and every joint is accurately reproduced.

"This clock was given to me by Rome when I was a child. Although it looks very ordinary, it can write as long as it is wound up."

"It seems that many clocks can write? I remember that I repaired one in Yangzhou. Is there anything special about this one?"

"This desk can write 25 characters."

"Huh?" He remembered the one he repaired, and it was already very expensive if he could write four characters.

"Yes, 25. It's the classic copybook: 'Master Shang, Qiu Yiji, Hua Sanqian, Seventy Scholars, Er Xiaosheng, Eighty-Nine Sons, Excellent Works of Benevolence, You Can Know the Rites.'. All 25 characters are written in On the square-inch piece of paper, every character is clearly written. And the brushwork is relaxed, rigorous and fair. By observing the trend of the brushwork, you can learn how to write these characters. So this is a movable copybook for teaching .I was still young at the time, and this was a gift that encouraged me to study hard.”

"Good guy, why keep it here?"

"Well, it's because my mother said that the villain above was a bit creepy. I also thought it was strange at the time. This villain obviously doesn't even have facial features, but it does have a gloomy feeling, but it's really good at writing. I After playing it once, I put it in the warehouse, and I kept that key with me all the time, but I just couldn’t find it.”

"Can I have one?"

"You can just take it away, and then you can think about it yourself."

He reached out and took out the clock directly, and put it in the handbag in the corner.The national gift from Rome was packed like a snack box.

"Ah, can I just take it away?" As soon as he heard that this thing can write 25 characters, Shangluo's long-term training was mobilized—he didn't dare to hold this thing empty-handed, who knows? Where will a part be knocked off and broken.It would be easy if you know where to repair it, but most of the time you have no way of knowing, and you can only take it apart and check it slowly, which is simply a nightmare experience.

"It's okay. Although it's a national gift, it's still hanging here to dry. It's better to send it to a useful place. And Victoria knows you very well, right? She won't mind."

"I don't seem to know her very well."

"Hey, the first time is a stranger and the second time is an acquaintance. If you meet more often, you will become acquainted. Come on." He pushed Shang Luo's shoulder and coaxed him out, "If you really have no choice, you can go directly to Victoria."

With a national gift in his handbag, Shang Luo stood uneasy on the subway.He held the entire clock in his hands, and leaned against the corner of the carriage with his legs rooted like a squatting horse, for fear that it would be damaged by the people next to him.

Holding the clock in his arms, he walked all the way to the Golden Arch restaurant at the entrance of the Institute, where Phaethon worked on Sunday afternoons.

"Why?" She asked while wiping the table with a rag.

"Look at this." He opened the bag, missing a corner.

"This is. Damn it!" Phaeton yelled, "Omega core! Why are you holding it in your hand! Didn't Apollonia tell you what it is?"

【What is this? I didn't do it.I haven't used it yet. 】

Shangluo relayed Apollonia's answer.

"Okay. Then I'll tell you. Manager, wait a minute! Here's an acquaintance who wants to order, and I'll go back to work right away!" She ran back to the room and put the rag back, washed her hands and sat in front of Shangluo, "Put it on the table, Let me see."

Shang Luo took it and slowly put it on the table.

Phaethon didn't check anything else, but first checked the villain above.
"That's right, that's it. It's a... quite a terrifying and powerful creation. Because this Vulcan core is a special type, 'Omega core', or the ultimate core. The letter Omega represents the end .Because its material is fine gold. That is, god chromium."

"How did you see it?"

"Because of the clockwork man, it doesn't touch the eyes. This is very important, because it represents a limitation on the machine itself, so that it cannot display all the functions of a human being. Because the fine gold movement can ignore absolute temperature and other factors." Most of the laws of physics, once fully functioning, there is nothing that can stop it. Is this a gift from Rome to the Emperor Cathay? This is indeed a very precious gift. Rome now only uses such a small They are like sending a battleship to the Son of Heaven who was a child at the time. How about it? Do you want to try it? Take the key and have a look, and I want to try it myself.”

"Ah, the key is gone. Wait for me to go back and get another one."

"Huh???" Phaeton was stunned, "The key is gone? Why isn't it here???"

"Because the emperor was still young at that time, he thought the key was more fun than this clock, so he always carried the key with him. He told me before that he planned to look for it, but he didn't seem to find it."

"It's over, this thing is useless."

"Is the key necessary?"

"Yes." Phaethon nodded, "Not just Omega-level movements, all Vulcan cores will be equipped with a key to wind up the clock when they are used-Vulcan cores can indeed be used by themselves. It works, but the matching clockwork is the self-locking mechanism specified by the Muse Palace. All Vulcan cores, even if they have infinite capabilities, must be wound up, without any exception. And each clockwork and each Each key is paired one by one, and only the core owner can hold it. The owner can decide how long to run this time—how long to go, how long to wind up. No more, no less, just right.”

"Is this to prevent mutiny?"

"Yes. The Muse Palace is far more cautious than the Columbia side. Although it is troublesome, it can be wound up to 24 hours at a time, and the larger the machine, the more troublesome it is to wind up. But this is a kind of self-sufficiency in terms of technological ethics. Lock design: It is impossible for any Vulcan core to operate without its master, and it must be wound up. No matter how powerful it is, if it is not wound up for a day, it will completely lose the qualification to run. This is the underlying design that cannot be changed. Winding up The keys are paired one by one, and if you lose it, it’s gone.”

"Ah, what should I do?"

"Go to the Palace of the Muses in Alexander. Only the Palace of the Muses that made this rule provides lockpicking services, because there is an original key there, which can be used as a master key to wind up all Vulcan cores, and can also derive new keys. .But the lockpicking service is very expensive. Just look at your wallet. It costs a huge sum of 2000 drachmas."
