Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 984 Manufacturer
"Manufacturer? What a coincidence, the manufacturer is right here with you." Phaethon replied.

"Oh! These were made by the elf blacksmiths, right? They seem to be still in the Imperial Prison."

After being brought here, the elf blacksmiths stayed in the imperial prison and only came out when there was work to do, just like the elves in the fairy tale who made shoes for the tired old shoemaker and his wife.

However, compared with the elves in fairy tales who can only make exquisite shoes, what these elf blacksmiths make is much more terrifying.

Theoretically, they could even create a tripod.

Once they really create a tripod, they will probably break through the "technological singularity" of automata and start the exponential explosion of inorganic life. All they need to do is serve the two-legged machine and work together with the tripod. Then they will need a higher-level quadruped machine to maintain the authority of the automaton country through force.

[I am now very glad that Victoria sent the craftsman elves in advance for other reasons. Otherwise, if one of them had a brainwave and built a tripod, it would be fun when the tripod started to increase its value. The appearance of the tripod octopus seems to have very good adaptability and can undertake various levels and forms of labor. Those waiters will only be able to bake bread in the end. If they are replaced by a tripod.]

"What will happen?"

They're probably going to start making toasters. And then make toasters that make toasters. And then make.

"I think I understand. But they still don't fight very well?"

[It depends. For example, in the movie you have seen, and many sci-fi disaster movies related to alien invasions, there is a setting mentioned - those terrible alien machines are not used for fighting, but for scientific research, exploration, or to perform certain industrial purposes. So, even if they are not real war machines, it is no big problem to use them to start a war. This may be a bit of a stretch for the waiter, but it is completely sufficient for the tripod. 】

"Good fellow," Shangluo thought for a moment, "Then with our combat power, do you think we can win?"

[I really don't know. But there is a problem - it may not be difficult for you to defeat the automaton, but there are other people in this world besides you. If the court has to divide its troops to protect everyone else, then the court itself will fall into a huge quagmire of war. And there is a truth that you can only steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. The automaton can fight to the death until it achieves its goal, but you have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. In many ways, it is not worthwhile to use a flesh head to hit an iron head. ]

"That does make sense. But you may have forgotten one thing - the imperial court is made up of flesh and blood, but the heavenly court is not made up of flesh and blood."

[Ah, that's true. Ordinary human civilization may not be able to defeat the collective intelligence of inorganic matter, but for the heavenly court that is about to ascend, the problem seems to be solved.]

"So my decision is that this must be studied carefully, but I won't kill them all. If this power can be used, it can provide great help to the Heavenly Court in the material world. I can accept barbarians working for me, and there is no reason why inorganic matter can't. They may even be more environmentally friendly than barbarians. As long as the Heavenly Court is above everything else, I won't care even if there is a fox demon country or something like that. These machine countries are really no different from the fox demon country. All things in the world are the people of the Heavenly Court, right?"

[Why do I feel like you have other intentions when you mention the Fox Demon Kingdom? 】

"If you know me, you'd think I had other intentions in mentioning the Machine Country."

【？ ？ ？ ？ ？】Apollonia was shocked, 【Have you been with Xiaohong for too long? How come you speak so rudely like her!】

"Eh? I thought you would be happy to hear that." [I suspect you are deliberately irritating me - I define myself as a human being, not a machine, so I'll write something down. And you like machines, what?]

"Transformation! I want to see the big robot transform. Is that a problem?"

[Well, you can probably only see octopuses entangled with each other here. Or. Do you want to see the mechanical dancers? There are indeed dancers among the waiters.]

“It’s not impossible”

[You're really capable, aren't you?! I really underestimated your knowledge. The Romans are too simple compared to you. So no matter what this automaton says, it has to be handled cleanly. I've already contacted them, and they'll be out soon. Where are you meeting them? At home?]

"Let's go to the office. Business should be done in the open. Since it's not something done specifically for me, I won't bring it home."

Shangluo looked at the sky and said, "It seems to be getting dark. Let Grani come to pick them up. Grani is a bulletproof car, right?"

[What do you think? It's a demon god, so it's easy to block bullets. Although it's a six-legged warhorse and a mount, it can still defeat the bad guys who get in its way. Let me make an appointment. ]

"Does it know the way?"

[The map of the area where the Grand Palace was not entered before. It is sampling now, driving around on the road from home to school. It needs to collect enough road condition information to facilitate picking you up and dropping you off at school. It is expected to complete this work before you start school, so you can take it to school when school starts. ]

"Is Grani that troublesome?"

[Theoretically, it is not necessary to go through so much trouble to send you. I asked him to run around everywhere, but in fact, he was sampling the map navigation software that is being made. After he samples and uploads it, everyone can use the navigation software. But there is a problem - do you want to sample the Grand Palace area? It depends on your arrangement. After all, you have enough authority. ]

"It's a safety issue. I need to seek professional advice."

[Well, this is probably one of your few good points. You are much calmer than Phaethon.]

"Why do I seem to hear someone talking about me?" Phaethon appeared faintly, "If you are worried, I will come to escort you?"

She was standing behind him. She didn't go into the prison just now because there was no need. It was full of Jinyiwei and she thought it was too crowded. For some reason, she didn't like the prison very much. It always gave her a familiar and scary feeling, as if she had been imprisoned there before. It was a scary cell where the sun could not be seen and it was even airtight.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Shangluo nodded. "I will meet them at Changchun Palace in half an hour. Just bring them here."
