Chapter 505 The Difference Engine

These Carson Ricks are the Carson Ricks in Torbes Diplomatic Civil Servant. After being invited to the Queen's birthday party, I was stopped by Owen Bishop and wanted to ask them about the activities held by the Diocese of Willendale, the capital of Carsonrick, during this year's Holy Prayer Festival.

Both sides were happy to have this conversation, but due to a shortage of translators, Augustus first brought in Shade as translator.

The city of Willendale in the United Kingdom of Carson Rick is the heart of what is generally known as the Old Continent South. Much like Tobesque, the city of Willendale firmly controls the entire United Kingdom as a political, economic and cultural center.

Although the capitals of the two countries are located in the north and the south, they are generally located in the west of the old continent. Augustus first visited Willendale when he was young, so he speaks some Carsonrick.

It didn't take long to talk with these foreigners, and the king's valet came hurriedly, saying that King Larousse III wanted to see these diplomatic envoys.

The general speaking of the king's meeting with the diplomats must be notified and prepared in advance. Such an abrupt call is really puzzling. But no matter what, these Carsenricks couldn't refuse, so they said goodbye to the entire group of Dawn Church.

Shade had been thinking about talking about demons again with August Priest, but Dawn Church has more to do tonight.

They soon found the church of peace in nelson bishop in this diocese, and the church of creation in the area of john wood priest, at the long table in the courtyard, to discuss the mission of the church of the five gods in this diocese range of topics.

"How did the bishop that created the church not come?"

Shade only needs to be on the sidelines of this conversation, so he asked Augustus priest in a low voice.

But before August Bishop spoke, a voice came from behind him:

"Rivest Bishop has the flu and is recovering in church. He is also 65 years old this year, I can't stand it."

Shade turns around and sees behind him a burly man in a top hat, a monocle in his right eye, and white gloves on his hands. He looked in his forties, with short flush black hair and a brass earring in his right ear:

"Sari Pilot."

He introduced himself, then extended his right hand to Shade.

Shade froze for a moment, then immediately shook it. However, he immediately felt that what he was holding was not a human hand, and the glove was clearly made of metal.

"I've heard of you, Mr. Hamilton of Rejed. It was a good game just now. It's a shame I didn't see it on the second floor."

This gentleman He said kindly, and the voice in his ear had already given a hint:

[The thirteen-ring warlock, if there is no accident, this is the "steel right hand" that created the church. ]

Shade swears he's trying to control his expression and make himself look suspicious:
"Hello, Mr. Pilot, are you the cleric who created the church?"

Mr. Pirot is wearing a formal ball gown instead of a robe, and the color of the coat is not black, but red, which is very fashionable.

"Yes, Shade, let me introduce."

Augus priest is also surprised, although he is not a ring warlock of the church, but in the parish of Tobesque for many years, he is also Know this gentleman:

"Mr. Surrey Pilot, Chief-In-Charge of the Church of Creation and Destruction's security team in this parish. This gentleman was on business the other day, Must have just returned to Tobesque."

"Yes, Augustus priest, long time no see."

Mr. :

"You still look so healthy, but I heard you're going to be out on errands too?"

"Yes, I'm the same age. When I'm old, the church also arranges me to go on a business trip to the northern foot of Mount Sikar."

The priest said half-complainingly, Shade was a little surprised, he hadn't heard that Augustus Priest was leaving Tobesque.

"It's just a decision made by the Holy See to dispatch the old priests from the various Sects district to do something in the country town. Rath, this is a good job, it's a free fall trip."

Owen Bishop also joined the conversation, holding a glass of wine, it seems that the conversation with the heretic just now was not going well:
"Pirot, back to Tobesque? What's the matter now? What happened?"

"Although it's not as smooth as I thought, it probably won't be a problem. It's just that the church is still worried that a thief will break in at the last minute, so I have two days off temporarily, and then concentrate one's mind. Do the final touches."

The thirteenth ring warlock said this, he probably thought Shade didn't understand, but Shade completely understood.

"The work of the church is really hard."

The young detective half true half false exclaimed.

"Probably not as hard as a detective, right?"

Owen bishop said with a smile:

"I met Stan of the Prophet Society a few days ago. We met because of some things, but I heard that you were still waiting on the street in the evening to get information."

This refers to what happened last Saturday when Shade was preparing to meet Laccia, when President Stan was Also made a prophecy for Shade.

"No no, my business is not very prosperous. I only have a commission once in a while."

"After that, I will introduce the business to you."

Irving bishop said with a smile , he is older than Augustus prince , and he is an ordinary person , but his complexion is very good .

"Of course, I can give them a very cheap price."

Shade responded, and then pretended to be curious and asked the thirteen-ring warlock beside him:

"Mr. Pirot, I happened to meet you, I actually want to ask some things about steam machinery."

The Church of Creation and Destruction is the promoter of the steam revolution One, standing first in the tide of the times. Among the churches of the Five Gods in the material world, the believers who created the church are actually the most numerous.

Because this is the age of steam, some people even joked that [Church of Creation and Destruction] could be renamed [Church of Steam].

“Please.”

Mr. Pirot looked towards Shade with great interest.

"It's like this."

Shade organizes to raise language. He came to this world as a foreigner. Although he supported himself and his cat by working as a detective, he would need to work in the future. There will be more places for money, so he always wants to do something with the knowledge of his hometown. But in this steam era, there are not many opportunities left for him, so he wants to inquire about the most cutting-edge steam technology:

"I have some good ideas recently. Have you ever heard that it is completely assembled from gears, levers and springs, relying on gear sets to store numbers, and gear sets to store numbers?”

Shade was trying to explain his thoughts, and suddenly a loud whistle sounded , cut through the night sky that was still burning with fireworks. Shade paused and looked towards the direction of the Yordle Palace Lord building with everyone in the courtyard.

The slightly sharp whistle came from behind the building.

"The guard post at Yodel Palace."

Irving Bishop introduced, but not very worried:
"A whistle is just a small problem, the other day Saxophone Cavendish barges in at gunpoint, and Imperial Family guards blow three whistles."

"Sorry, I think I'll have to check on the situation."

Mr. Pilot said sorry, patted Shade's shoulder, and walked quickly along the long table to the building behind everyone. And the ring warlock who created the church left temporarily, and Shade naturally had no chance to continue asking questions.

"I don't know if this world has invented a machine similar to a difference engine."

He and Augustus priest stood at the long dining table, looking up towards the gorgeous sky of fireworks.

[Outlander, what is a "difference engine"? ]

"Her"'s Whisper sounded suddenly in her ears, which was one of the few cases where "she" took the initiative to ask Shade a question.

"The difference engine."

The guests in the courtyard returned to normal, and no one cared too much about the whistle just now.

"How can there be no difference engine in the age of steam? It is a metal material, an automatic mathematical processing tool. No, it is not a simple addition and subtraction calculation, but it can process complex functions and replace the human brain. A machine for complex mathematical analysis and calculation."

Shade in the heart replied leisurely, while Augustus priest was guessing how much gold pounds these fireworks were worth. He seemed to want to spend the last year of next year do the same.

"In my hometown, the difference engine in the age of steam is just an idea due to material limitations. But in this world, the development of the steam industry has driven material science to embark on a road that has not been realized in my hometown. This world is a It is possible to create a difference engine."

The Star Sea is vast, because the lights of civilization are not enough to illuminate the whole sky at night, so strangers can now see stars shining like never before The picture:
"Mathematics is the foundation of natural science. Once the automatic calculation of the difference engine is realized, this era will become even more exciting than we imagined. This era of development can be developed for a longer period of time. The fire will last longer."

【Oh? ]

She sighed softly in his ear.

"But unfortunately, from the current situation, people in this world have not conceived and built such a machine. So, if I can provide basic design ideas and functional algorithms, even participate in In the manufacture of machinery, not to mention money and fame in the real sense, at least I, a foreigner, can really leave traces in this world."

【Very good. ]

"She" whispered praise in his ear, and Shade also walked out of the scene he imagined, planning to enjoy the rest of the banquet.

He didn't stay too long with August Priest, who seemed to have a lot to do.

Thinking about going to the card game upstairs, and waiting for Luvia to finish her work and dance with her again, Shade turned and walked towards the open door of the building.

Just two steps away, a slightly familiar silhouette came over with a glass of wine. He is the youngest son of the Dimock count family, the noble young man who was scared by Shade with the [Gun of Kindness] in front of his friends a few hours ago.

PS: Since it is a novel in the background of the steam era, how can it not mention the difference engine?
