Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 983 Tripod Machine

[There are also some special cases. The others are mass-produced, but some are specially made. For example, Talos of Rhodes Island is a giant automaton built by Vulcan. If there is anything that is in large quantities, it is Vulcan Golden Dog, a dog-shaped automaton. Although the power is not very strong, each one is specially made by Vulcan to guard people who need to be guarded in various places. ]

"The Romans should have only created waiters by now, right?"

[There is also Taros. Taros is a limited creation, and is currently the only automaton that is not a waiter. However, Taros is only a special model, so strictly speaking, it has not yet broken through the boundaries of "waiter". This is also the requirement of the Palace of Muses. ]

"It seems that you guys are somewhat reasonable at times. But if it's like this with the Palace of Muses, what would it be like without it?"

[I don’t even dare to think about it. This is not the first time that the Romans have perished. Death from indulgence and absurdity is the destined cause of death for the Romans. Many people would think that the sages in the Palace of Muses are a nuisance, but it is this conservative scientific ethics that has allowed Rome to survive until now. ]

"Yeah," Shangluo nodded, "So what we need to pay close attention to is the tripod, right?"

【I think this should be done. After all, waiters are waiters. In theory, waiters cannot appear outside Mount Olympus, and cannot do anything other than "servants of the gods". In the present, waiters should not be out of the control of the Romans, nor can they work without people. Colombia now has obviously touched the boundary of this rule - but strangely, they seem to still strictly abide by the original rules of "waiters" themselves. 】

“They make bread, don’t they?”

[That's right. As long as they make bread, they are theoretically serving humans. Although they are no longer under control, the waiters still express obedience and compliance. They actively provide services to humans, especially you, and they are very eager to provide bread to humans. This does not violate the underlying structure of waiters - but they are now free from human control and act according to their own logic. ]

"You just said that the waiter has an 'understanding heart'?"

【This is also what I am worried about. The waiters are not stupid, they have real wisdom, but they are constrained by the framework. Now they have touched the boundary of the framework, and as your predecessors said, their upper limit is unknown. Many hearts are gathered together, and their thinking may have broken through the boundary that ordinary people can hardly imagine. It is not impossible to achieve a harmonious mind of all people. In this case, their thinking may have already broken through all constraints and reached a higher level - it is not impossible to approach God. 】

"Yes." Shangluo nodded. "Then there are two things to focus on - first, we need to establish communication with the waiters and determine their purpose. When necessary, it is best to guide them properly. Second, we need to pay attention to whether there are new automata, especially tripods. Because waiters are just servants anyway, and tripods have real power. And pay attention to whether Vulcan Golden Dogs will be born from them. But there is a problem."

Shangluo asked Apollonia: "Can the waiter really create a tripod?"

[This is the key point: waiters cannot create, they can only serve. This is the underlying structure when Vulcan created waiters - so waiters are only making bread now. But who knows if someone will throw in the fire of the 'tripod machine'. That would be a lot of fun, the fire of the waiter's wisdom has spread. If the fire of the tripod machine's creation spreads again and combines with the waiter's wisdom, it will be really out of control. And.]

"besides?"

[Yes. Vulcan actually has three divine duties, and the three automata are also symbols of them. The first is outstanding intelligence, represented by the two-legged servant. The second is the craft of creation, represented by the three-legged machine. The third is that Vulcan distributes artifacts to the gods, so it symbolizes the manager behind the scenes. Many Roman companies - especially listed companies - will worship Vulcan like you worship the God of Wealth here. This kind of power is represented by the four-legged golden dog. ]

"So it's two legs, three legs, and then four legs, right?" [If all of these appear, then the 'Colombian Automata' might really come to this world. But for now, the waiter is only working for us, so it's controllable for the time being.]

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel that the Vulcan core in my house is so scary. Will it grow three legs?"

[No. It has not actually been activated yet. And in theory, all the Vulcan cores created now are waiter-type, including those used in battleships. So in terms of power, the efficiency is actually quite low, because the power of these Vulcan cores lies in their intelligence. ]

"but."

【Do you have any other questions? 】

"I think there is something I need to confirm - is the Vulcan Core just a container for the divine fire? Does it need a suitable body to exert its power? Or can they create their own structure?"

【It is the latter. As far as I know, the Vulcan core was indeed created, but the body was not created by humans, but "grown". As long as there are materials, Vulcan will create his own body. So the amazing craftsmanship we saw just now was not created by the elf blacksmith, but by the will of the Vulcan core itself. The Vulcan core wanted to be a waiter, so the waiter was formed from it. However.】

Apollonia thought for a moment: [The process of creating the Vulcan core was not so peaceful. Many of the servants did not want their current bodies, which was actually quite cruel. Their minds were confined in metal and bodies, and this cage was built according to their own wishes and was indestructible. This was a terrifying thing no matter how you think about it.]

"Then what's the situation at my house? It hasn't sprouted yet?"

[You know what?] Apollonia thought for a moment, [Every advanced Vulcan core is recorded in the book, but yours is not actually activated. So, who knows what powerful thing will hatch from it.]

"No! Don't give me a lottery here. Could that be the world's first tripod?"

【Not really. Not really.】

"Then how do I know if it's a tripod?"

[Unless you activate it and have a look. Well, that's the only way. If you don't activate it, no one will know what's inside. Or you can call the manufacturer and ask? ]
