Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1336 Construction Site Inspection

It is indeed accurate when you check it.

When Shangluo broke into the room through the window, he saw an acquaintance.

Archimedes himself was actually there, followed by a large group of people in white coats from the Syracuse Academy, all gathered around a large copper ball.

Shangluo's entry through the window stunned everyone.

"Wait! I can explain!" Archimedes jumped out of the bathtub, this time without the mosaic.

【Ahhhhh! My eyes! 】

The people around him hurriedly wrapped Archimedes in a bath towel and wrapped him up like a spring roll.

"Alas," Shangluo covered his forehead, "You said you want to explain, so you have to admit it, right?"

"We have our reasons for doing this!" Before he could finish, the person next to him covered his mouth. Shangluo had just said one sentence, and Archimedes kept saying "there are reasons" and "there are explanations", and was about to confess everything.

"Let me go!" Archimedes pushed the researcher next to him away. "Your Majesty, the King of Rome, please listen to me. Scientists are the simplest! They were born for the progress of the world!"

"Yes, I'm listening." Shangluo nodded, "Do you have anything else to say? If you have said everything, I will start the inspection."

"Wait!" Archimedes raised his right hand and pointed to the sky. "Have you checked the space station? I think they are also at fault! Those undisciplined automata made the biggest mistakes! This time it's not our fault, it's all because those automata were too tempting!"

"Huh?" Shangluo understood a little. It seemed that they were not working here for Rome, but specifically for the automaton.

"Go on." Shang Luo raised his hand to signal, "Tell me in detail why you are here and what you are doing. Sage Archimedes, you go ahead."

"First of all, Your Majesty, don't you think the existence of Columbia's automaton is an act of usurpation?"

"That's true." Shangluo nodded. Even though he had a lot of cooperation with the automata, Shangluo still believed that these inhuman beings were quite dangerous. If there was a chance, he would not refuse a solution that could solve the Columbia automata once and for all.

But he must implement this plan himself and decide when to implement it.

One reason is that automata are still somewhat useful today.

Secondly, and most importantly, the automaton would still listen to Shangluo's orders and execute them according to his will. Through the existence of the chef, Shangluo indirectly controlled the automaton.

But if someone intends to control the automaton, it would be equivalent to snatching the control of the automaton from Shangluo, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Just like destroying the moon, the Academy of Syracuse had the strongest motivation and the strongest ability to act in the above actions, because they developed the automaton technology.

In the past, this technology was firmly suppressed by the Muses in terms of ethics, but now that the automata have broken free from their cages, the ethical framework has long been broken, and their actions now seem reasonable.

"So, what are you doing here?" Shangluo asked, "What do you want to launch with this cannon?"

"Tripod Automaton (TRIPOD)"

【Good fellow!!!】

An unexpected but reasonable answer. As Shangluo knew before, the only thing that can restrain the two-legged machine is the three-legged machine. The current automata are strictly speaking two-legged automata. The unified code name of this type of automata is [Waiter], including the chef.

In Roman mythology, [Servants] are automatons created by the god of fire Vulcan to serve the gods. This is also the origin of Vulcan's core technology.

However, in addition to the two-legged automata such as the [Attendant], the God of Fire Vulcan also created a special, three-legged automaton (TRIPOD) for his assistant. Like the Attendant, this type of automaton is collectively called the [Craftsman].

[Craftsmen] are automata that create automata. Although Vulcan's works are infused with his own divine power, the specific operations are all completed by [Craftsmen], including the work of making [Servants].

In other words, for [Servants] like the chef, their direct creator is actually [Craftsmen]. Craftsmen have a natural suppressive power over these creations and have stronger creativity.

As craftsmen, these tripod automata are also obvious in terms of wielding forging hammers and carrying materials, and they have unparalleled strength that [Servants] cannot match. They are the singularities that will truly pose an explosive threat to humans.

"What are you guys doing?" Shang Luo covered his forehead. "Who came up with this idea? Even I know that three-legged automata cannot be manufactured, right?"

"But we want to make progress too much! We cannot tolerate the [Servants] usurping the divine authority. They actually built a huge space station in the sky, which should have been our glory. So we, in a moment of excitement, decided to deploy a [Craftsman] to control all the [Servants]."

"Then stop it immediately."

"It's too late. The launch has already taken place."

"Huh???" Zheng Shijie was stunned for a moment, "How did you launch it? How come I don't know?"

"The [Craftsman] modified this giant structure and made it more suitable for the structure of the barrel. Three days ago, the first [Craftsman] was launched."

"Then what are you doing here?" Shangluo asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you run away now that you succeeded?"

"Ah," Archimedes covered his forehead, "Originally I didn't have to be here. But the [Craftsman] was launched off track and into a nearby orbit. We are here to control the craftsman to change the orbit."

"Why don't you give the craftsmen a warp device, too?"

"He's not stupid." Archimedes said helplessly, "He refused. He knew that thing would explode."

"Ah," Shangluo said helplessly, "Really, I think he is easier to work with than you. Do you have any pictures?"

"Yes, yes, yes, please look." Everyone made way. Between them, there was a screen propped up on the table. The image on the screen was spinning and turning upside down, and the circular space station could be vaguely seen on the screen.

"What is it doing?"

"Because the orbit is only a little bit off, we are controlling it to dismantle itself in such a way that it throws off mass and reaches a higher orbit."

"Is it obedient?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. He obeys our orders completely, except for letting him die. Because the way we control him is the threat of death, and he will not execute orders that will kill him."

"Give me the remote. I'm taking over this matter. You guys, pack your things and prepare for the court-martial."
