Chapter 396 Difference Engine

"How can it be."

Phantom felt the sudden appearance of steam rules around him, his face full of disbelief.

There are actually three sons of the Steam Phantom Plane.

Surrounded by suffocating fog, Phantom could feel the suppression of the world's will. The enormous pressure made it impossible for him to use all the extraordinary powers in his body, including the power of origin.

Even his physical attributes were weakened to a certain extent.

Olivia's voice came from behind the phantom, "The word 'impossible' shouldn't come from the mouth of a transcendent."

The phantom followed the sound, turned around and swung his sword in the thick fog. The blade sank into the thick fog and did not disperse the fog, and there was no feedback from the blade that it had hit any real object.

When the saber was retracted, a faint trace of rust appeared on the blade.

Not only himself, but even the props he used began to be rejected by the plane because they did not conform to the rules of the plane.

The steam rules that Olivia mastered were stronger than Xavier's, except that they did not condense divinity.

This made Phantom even more incomprehensible.

Generally speaking, only one Son of the Plane will grow up in a plane.

Because the sign of the growth of the Son of the Plane is that he can use his own root power to influence the rules of the entire plane, thereby borrowing the power of the entire plane.

If you want to borrow the rules of an entire plane, you must make sure that the rules of the plane and the root power are exactly the same and resonate with each other.

In other words, only when the plane rules are completely affected by a certain rule will the plane child corresponding to that rule be born.

Once a mature Son of the Plane appears, the other immature Sons of the Plane will be directly eliminated and will not be able to mature.

Because the road has been blocked.

But Olivia's situation was different. The root power she used, and the corresponding plane rules were actually the same as Xavier's. This allowed two mature plane sons to appear in the Steam Phantom Plane at the same time.

And with the death of Xavier, all the luck of the Son of the Plane gathered on Olivia, allowing her to further influence the rules.

Phantom panicked, he had to find a way to leave here.

He followed his memory and headed in the direction of St. George's Cathedral, while asking:

"Your Majesty Olivia, when did you become a child of the plane?"

Olivia's voice came from all directions, making it impossible for the phantom to tell where she really was.

"It started five years ago when I determined the feasibility of the extraordinary steam engine."

Phantom estimated the distance in his mind and quickened his pace.

"Then why do you allow the Steam Parliament to exist?"

Olivia said calmly:
"Because the time is not right, there are some things that I cannot do. If I am found out, Julie will be unhappy."

The phantom asked doubtfully, "Archbishop Julie?"

He didn't understand what Julie was involved in. In his opinion, Julie was just Olivia's subordinate.

But it doesn't matter, because he has come to the secret passage leading to the upper level. As long as he leaves the underground space and returns to St. George's Cathedral, he will not be suppressed by the rules of the plane.

At that time, relying on the power of his speed and slowness, even if he cannot win, it will not be difficult for him to escape.

He walked into the secret passage and walked quickly, but after only two steps, he noticed something unusual.

The thick fog around him did not dissipate, and the touch of the stone steps under his feet was different from what he remembered.

Olivia's voice sounded again, and she said:
"Yes, it's Julie. I brought you to the deepest part of the ground before I started because I was worried that we might disturb her if we were too close to the ground."

As Olivia spoke, the fog around them thinned, and Phantom realized that he had not entered a secret passage, but a special space made of metal.

The steam rules not only suppressed his physical attributes, but also misled his inspiration.

A huge ominous feeling appeared in Phantom's heart. He took out the copy escape prop and wanted to end the copy, but found that in this special metal space, the copy escape prop could not be activated.

The next moment, he felt the temperature of the space rising, and there was a faint sound of steam emerging around him.

Then Phantom heard the last words of his life, "What a pity. I was very optimistic about you."

On Baishe Street, Wu Chang's original body and true self returned to the Secret Security Department with Xavier's body.

When he returned to Baishe Street, the Steam Phantom Plane had returned to normal. The steam rules no longer restricted the abilities of the extraordinary people, and the haze that had shrouded Grimland for years dissipated along with the steam rules.

Looking up at the starry sky, Wu Chang felt an indescribable sense of refreshment. He had never felt so relaxed when he first entered the copy plane.

The members of the Mystic Knights, under the command of Ravington, were cleaning up the tragic situation on White House Street.

If only the executioner did it, they could still find a way to repair it quickly without letting the public notice.

Xavier had caused trouble again, and nearly half of the buildings on Baishe Street were severely damaged. It was no longer possible to hide it.

Ravington was holding Randy and the senior police officials, thinking about how to explain to the public tomorrow.

Ten minutes later, Lengshan and Jianxing returned from the Gray Church Slums. Wu Changzhen and I, along with other players, went to the Steam Council's base at the Collingwood Processing Plant with the two of them.

In the underground base, they found the most core research of the Steam Council.

Franken-class extraordinary machine tool.

This machine tool can process dead objects with extraordinary powers together with living things, allowing the living things to obtain some of the extraordinary powers of the fused objects.

It was through this machine tool that the steam senators were transformed from ordinary people into half-human, half-machine extraordinary beings.

The acquisition of the extraordinary machine tool did not bring any abnormalities.

A reminder of "Obtaining the Crown Jewel of Industry" popped up in front of everyone, and the sky outside cleared up without being covered with haze again.

It seems that with Xavier's death and the destruction of the Steam Council, all danger has been resolved.

Next, players only need to wait for thirty days, witness the International Industrial Expo, and complete the main task one, then they can leave the dungeon.

When the real self takes the players to the Steam Council base, Wu Chang's real body acts alone and comes to Xavier's secret mechanical workshop.

All of Xavier's research manuscripts are stored here. As a son of the plane who was born with mechanical talent, Xavier's research on extraordinary steam engines is far better than that of the official Stellan.

What is recorded here is the essence of the Steam Phantom Plane.

Wu Chang divided the knowledge into two parts. He went back to study the knowledge about mysticism in detail and used it to improve his root power. He gave the purely mechanical knowledge to He Yun for reference.

While sorting out the manuscripts, he saw dozens of design sketches on the wall of Xavier's office.

The sketch depicts a huge, complex and extraordinary steam engine. According to the scale marked on the drawing, its size is close to that of a palace. It is not only huge, but also extremely complex.

Each of the separated areas is densely covered with markings, and the construction difficulty of each area is no less than that of a complete extraordinary steam engine.

These sketches had appeared more than once in Xavier's resentment. What was recorded in the sketches was the pinnacle of the extraordinary steam engine conceived by him and Prime Minister Ron.

A universal machine that connects the world with rules and only needs enough energy to come up with a perfect solution to any problem through massive calculations - the Difference Engine.

In Xavier and Prime Minister Ron's original idea, as long as they created a difference engine, they could use it to find the most perfect solution to all problems, and all difficulties would be solved.

However, the Difference Engine was too complicated. Just as they came up with the most basic sketch and before they had time to implement it, Prime Minister Ron was suddenly assassinated and the plan came to an abrupt end.

In desperation, Xavier thought of connecting the world's rules, condensing his divinity, and trying to transform himself into the ultimate extraordinary steam engine to replace the differential engine.

After all, in the scriptures of the Holy Bishop, God is an omniscient and omnipotent being. As long as he obtains the power of omniscience and cooperates with the steam rules, he may be able to replace the difference engine.

Even if it cannot replace the Difference Machine, building a Difference Machine as a mechanical god will be much faster than as a mortal. Wu Chang looked at the sketches on the wall. Each sketch recorded a lot of information. Just a few glances made him confused.

If nothing unexpected happens, the pinnacle of the extraordinary steam engine that Xavier wanted to witness in his bloody will is the difference engine in the sketch.

He was confused by the sketch of the difference engine, so it seemed too difficult for him to build it.

Not to mention the Steam Phantom Plane, even if He Yun came, it would take ten days or half a month to figure it out.

He took out the Omniscient Crystal and asked it whether the Difference Machine was just Xavier and Ron's delusion or whether it was possible to realize it.

The good news is that the Omniscient Crystal recognized the feasibility of the sketch, saying that the Difference Machine in the sketch can be manufactured even in the Steam Phantom Plane as long as enough time and cost are paid.

The bad news is that this thing doesn't work and may even have side effects.

As the omniscient crystal with the title of omniscience, although it cannot be truly omniscient, as long as it is given a little bit of information, it can infer the clues that Wu Chang wants based on the information.

The Omniscient Crystal is very disdainful of the Difference Machine, which claims to be able to find the most perfect solution to all problems and has omniscience.

According to the Omniscient Crystal, once the Difference Machine is built, it will have nearly unlimited computing power. This is true, but the problem is that the Difference Machine searches for answers to questions by connecting the rules of planes. Its own intelligence is extremely low, or even non-existent.

After all, the Steam Phantom Plane is still in the steam engine era. Being able to combine the steam engine with the supernatural is already the upper limit of the plane. It is too much to ask to use the steam engine to rub out chips and create advanced artificial intelligence.

The solution provided by the plane rules is very rigid and inflexible. Although it is not to the point of chopping off hands for a painful hand or chopping off a head for a headache, it is similar in simplicity and crudeness.

What's more, the rules of the Steam Phantom Plane are not the natural rules of the plane, but rules that have been "polluted" and assimilated by the Son of the Plane.

The solution obtained in this situation will be seriously influenced by the subjective influence of the Child of the Plane.

For example, if the Son of the Plane is an idealistic philanthropist who is determined to build a utopia, then the solution he gets will be very humane.

But if the Son of the Planes is a capitalist, or like Xavier, his mind has been severely corroded by the Flesh and Blood Extraordinary Steam Engine, then the solution obtained will be very hellish.

All I can say is that it's a good thing that Xavier's plan didn't succeed. If he had really built the Difference Machine and used the solutions it provided to deal with the problems he raised, the natives of the Steam Phantom copy would have suffered a lot.

The turning point that touched Xavier deeply and led him to discover the mission of the Son of the Planes was a weaver who died of overwork in front of him.

The sudden death of a textile worker in front of him made him ask himself the question of why, although productivity had increased dozens of times, workers still had to work longer hours to obtain the same living standard as before.

If he had held on to this problem and looked for a differential engine to solve it, Wu Chang could already imagine that before the problem was solved, Stian would be in dire straits, and after the problem was solved, it would probably be a disaster for all the people.

He packed up all the information in the mechanical workshop and threw it into his personal space, then returned to Baishe Street to discuss how to deal with what happened last night.

The next morning, when the residents of Grimland woke up and saw the ruins of Baishe Street, they immediately fell into panic.

What happened? Was it a fight among the top leaders of the Stellan Parliament, or did someone launch a violent coup?
Some people who got up earlier saw the Conservative Party-branded sunny dolls that had not yet been put down in the garden square, and they came up with more conspiracy theories in their minds.

Fortunately, Wu Chang and others were prepared and changed the Hills Times overnight, describing the attack that took place last night on the front page headline.

The existence of the Steam Parliament cannot, of course, be exposed to the public.

First, it involves too many people, and second, the Steam Parliament has no reputation and people don't trust it.

After everyone discussed it, they decided to blame the entire attack last night on the Tranquility Church.

Claiming that this was an attack from the Tranquility Church, in retaliation for Stian's long-term suppression of the Tranquility Church, the believers of the Tranquility Church launched an assassination attempt on Acting Prime Minister Glad and Chief Justice Gascon last night.

Although the Tranquility Church succeeded, in the immediate aftermath of the incident, the Secret Security Department and the National Police Agency fought bravely and arrested all of the Tranquility Church believers who participated in the assassination. The specific circumstances are currently under investigation.

The report seemed outrageous, but most of the people of Grimland believed it.

Since the founding of the country, Stilan has been in conflict with the Church of Tranquility. It is a well-known villain and has a very high reputation among the people of Stilan.

Many unsolved headless murders can be excused by the blood sacrifice rituals arranged by the followers of the Church of Tranquility.

There are many

In the general public's perception, the Tranquility Sect is extremely evil and capable of doing anything bad.

A small number of people remain skeptical about this, but since they have no evidence, they can only put forward some insignificant conspiracy theories.

It is easy to find someone to take the blame, but it takes a long time for the storm to subside afterwards.

The first issue to be dealt with is the questions from the Conservative and Liberal parties.

In this attack, the leaders of the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party were killed. Acting Prime Minister Glad was not so lucky, after all, he was killed in front of many people by the executioner who broke into the police station.

There were enough witnesses to prove that Glad's death was an accident.

The Conservative Party had a harder time explaining why. The Chief Justice and his entourage were neatly hung on street lamps. This method of killing was too revengeful and difficult to combine with the scene of the attack on White House Street.

But no one cared about the Conservatives' questioning.

The rise of the Liberal Party has already marginalized the Conservative Party. The Corn Laws have been repealed, the fight for industrial regulation rights has failed, and now the Chief Justice has died, making the Conservative Party a complete toothless tiger.

It won’t be long before the Conservative Party is completely sidelined and becomes the mascot of Stirling politics.

No one cares if a mascot is unhappy.

Power is conserved; when one loses it, another gains it.

After the attack on White House Street, two people gradually came to the front of the stage, one of whom was Randy.

The successive withdrawals of popular candidates for prime minister have made Randy the hot favorite to become the next prime minister. Coupled with Randy's recent activity, people quickly turned their attention to this low-key home secretary.

Especially after confirming that Randy had no obvious party label and believed that he would not favor one side and was more like a person who maintained balance, all parties expressed support for his taking office.

Everyone is weak now and needs time to adjust.

If Randy was recognized by politicians, the other person, Queen Olivia, was recognized by the public.

It is better to say that it is the last option rather than recognition.

After Glad was assassinated, Olivia no longer cared about the Liberal Party and asked Connor to reveal the inside story of the Pine Tree Coal Mine explosion.

In line with the previous cases, the Liberal Party, the Conservative Party, and the Industrial Entrepreneurs Association all collapsed.

After looking around, the workers and the grassroots people found that neither the politicians nor the factory owners were trustworthy.

They looked around and finally set their sights on Queen Olivia, who strongly advocated science and gradually stepped into the spotlight in recent years.

Perhaps only Her Majesty the Queen can truly support them and lead Stellan to greatness.

As the last option, Olivia has gained huge support among the people.

The Houses of Commons and the Houses of Lords sensed something was wrong and were worried that Olivia would restore the royal power, but due to the lack of a leader, it was difficult to organize effective action and they could only hope that sufficiently prestigious politicians would take action.

But senior ministers in the cabinet were more or less involved in the "Quiet Church Attack".

The only two remaining ministers of the three cabinet ministers, Home Secretary Randy, agrees with Olivia, and Foreign Secretary Evans, who was found to have connections with the Steam Parliament, is under house arrest by the Arcane Knights and cannot speak out.

The Chief Justice died in an attack. The Minister of the Navy, who holds military power, is suspected of having close ties with the Tranquility Church and is busy cutting ties with it, so he dares not speak out.

In this way, Olivia successfully gained the support of the people.

Taking advantage of this favorable situation, Olivia announced to the public that she would demonstrate the national strength of Stian at the International Industrial Exposition to be held at the end of the month, so that other countries could see the direction of the world's future.

She will also officially announce the existence of the extraordinary steam engines at the World Industrial Exposition, and put them into use in all walks of life, greatly reducing people's working hours and no longer making people feel painful about work.

Suddenly, the queen equals progress, and word is everywhere that Olivia will restore the glory of the royal family.

The people's support turned into an invisible force, hovering over Grimland.
