Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

There was still the second half of the sentence that Chen Lin didn’t say: Otherwise, how can I live a good life in the future?

"Oh...oh." Xier was a little confused by Chen Lin's inexplicable words of encouragement, and nodded subconsciously in response.

At this time, Clara, who had been wandering around the factory for a long time, ran over with a drawing board in her hands that was more than twice as wide as her. Her little face was flushed red with excitement, and a short-haired woman followed beside her.

The other party used to work in the mining area of ​​Panyan Town as a foreman. Later, after some restructuring by Chen Lin, he was hired as a production supervisor in a machinery factory, responsible for supervising and managing the factory's production line.

Clara said excitedly: "Brother Chen Lin, Clara made some modifications to the original lathe. This sister thinks it's pretty good and wants Clara to show it to you."

"Boss Chen." The production supervisor nodded to Chen Lin and explained, "The lathe production line has always followed the previous model. Although it can be restored to use after your simple repair, we don't consume much raw materials. It's ultimately a matter of efficiency. I showed Miss Clara the drawings of the machine and other lathes before. She added a lot of things to the relevant production steps and the outside of the machinery. I think this will improve efficiency a lot."

"Is this true?" Chen Lin's eyebrows twitched, and he took the new drawing drawn by Clara and started to look at it.

To be honest, the lathes that were bought for free from other declining industrial towns were indeed very old. Chen Lin also understood that it would be difficult to effectively improve production efficiency with such machines.

The factory building is divided into several blocks, and everyone performs their duties in their respective positions.

From the inside to the outside, there are machine tools for cutting sheet materials. Further out are areas where grinders, drilling machines and other equipment are used to grind parts. The parts then need to be sent to the next door factory for bending, and finally sent back for stamping and welding.

The steps are extremely complicated.

It's not that Chen Lin doesn't have the ability to improve these mechanical lathes, but he is too lazy to do it. Although the factory's production capacity is insufficient now, it only takes a little more time for the various parts and metal plates that are urgently needed in the lower-level areas to be fully replenished, and the number of external sales will be greatly reduced, and most of them will be consumed internally by other factories built by themselves.

There's no need for that.

But... there seems to be something about Clara's changes to the drawings.

Chen Lin hissed and frowned even more tightly. His extremely efficient brain calculated the feasibility of the blueprint, as well as the related replacement parts and materials marked by Clara on it.

It seems possible?

The surface of the machine tool in the drawing may not look very beautiful. Various redundant operating tables destroy the beauty of its single operation. The size is also several times larger than before. But if the drawing can be realized, the entire machine tool can be completely integrated, and the step of high-temperature bending parts does not need to be set up in a separate factory, but can be done on one machine.

It can be said that in prototype form it has gradually approached the semi-intelligent machine tool model of various processing plants in Chen Lin’s previous life.

The problem is that there are no computers here, so where does the intelligence come from?

As a member of a mechanical community, especially a child who has been surrounded by machines since childhood, Clara has an endless supply of inspiration for parts and metals.

Chen Lin touched his chin, pointed to a place on the drawing, and asked, "What is this round thing used for?"

"It's a mechanical core." Clara replied in seconds. "There are many unused mechanical cores in the settlement. Most of them were picked up by Clara when she was out, or taken from other robots with aging structures."

"So you want to put this thing... in?" Chen Lin said blankly.

"Mr. Swarovski can do it. We just need to format the information of the idle cores and reload the running process. Clara has learned a little bit and should be able to help." Clara nodded vigorously with some reluctance on her face. "Although Clara thinks that each robot is an independent individual and a special existence, we cannot make a shell to load the core. When the time set by Mr. Swarovski arrives, the core will still be automatically formatted..."

He had heard Clara talk about the cores of the automated robots in the lower area. Each core was like a storage device that would constantly record surrounding information and update its contents at any time. In order to ensure that the core would not self-destruct due to excessive storage of information, Swarovski set a corresponding clearing time in each core to protect the core's safety and also to prevent the core from exploding and harming others.

Unfortunately, due to technical and raw material problems, the lower area is unable to produce the corresponding energy storage devices. Therefore, Clara used to look for usable and replaceable components from other scrapped robots. There was no other way.

So isn't Swarovski equivalent to a supercomputer?

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment. He felt that Yalilo’s future technological leap would not be difficult. It would also save him from having to find ways to get all kinds of high-tech things here. At least he wouldn’t have to worry about being strangled!

"Okay, I approve this project!" Chen Lin waved his hand and decided to carry out this epoch-making project.

I have to say that Clara is indeed a qualified engine oil man. She has such imagination and design ability at such a young age. This alone makes Chen Lin very surprised.

Chen Lin asked, "Let Clara finish it. Can Clara do it? If you need anything, just tell me and I'll solve it for you. I'll pay you the highest salary."

"Eh? As for the money... Clara doesn't want it... But does Brother Chen Lin intend to let Clara do it...?"

"Yes, we will support you with all our strength, whether it's money, materials or manpower! Even if it means losing everything!" Chen Lin turned around and looked at Xi'er, and asked, "Xi'er, I remember that a lot of dismantled industrial machine tools were also transported from Forging Hammer Town. Have they arrived yet?"

Xier nodded: "We're here. The boss said this morning that a prototype has been assembled..."

"That's perfect. Let's give all of these to Clara to practice with. When the time comes, transfer half of the people in the engineering group to help Clara. Set up two parts factories to make the parts and things Clara needs. If you can't make them, tell me and I'll make them."

Clara suddenly felt a heavy pressure on her shoulders, and waved her hands worriedly: "Clara doesn't know if she can put it on. If she doesn't do it well, Clara will waste everyone's time and spend a lot of money. Clara can just try it in private. If it doesn't work, Clara will..."

I thought it was something else. When Chen Lin heard that Clara was worried about the black hole in scientific research, he raised his hand and said, "It's a small problem. We are not short of money. There is no such thing as a one-time achievement in research. Failure is the mother of success. If Clara is willing to take over, just give it a try."

This kind of thing is not even a black hole. It is unlike the several projects he has participated in before. I heard that the initial funding for the entire project was several billion, and more funds will be invested in the future.

Besides, Chen Lin was simply attracted by Clara's talent. He didn't believe that this little girl was not a super genius. What's the point of spending a little money and the raw materials he exchanged for mineral value to give her a practice? What's more, Clara was very interested in this kind of thing, but she couldn't put it into practice because of the resource dilemma and tight money.

As long as Clara is willing, Chen Lin will take out as much mine as Clara wants, and Chen Lin will invest as much money as Clara wants.

As for why Chen Lin values ​​Clara so much, there are many reasons.

The academic thoughts of the information age could sprout under this technology tree which could be regarded as the early stage of the steam age. Chen Lin couldn't even imagine what epoch-making things Clara could come up with after she finished learning the mechanical engineering knowledge of the space age.

Seeing Clara was shocked by the huge investment, Chen Lin touched her head and said softly, "We are not afraid of failure, nor should we be afraid of being defeated by failure. With sufficient funds, I support any meaningful scientific research project. Hard work may not be rewarded, but not working hard will definitely not be rewarded. Clara, didn't you tell me that you wanted to do a similar job when you grow up? It doesn't matter, I will help you realize this wish. Taking this opportunity, I want to ask you, are you willing to let go and do it?"

Clara was in a daze. She remembered that she had chatted with Chen Lin when she came to see him the day before yesterday. At that time, Chen Lin told her about a prosperous empire from afar, with countless vehicles, aircraft, weapons and ships. They were all made by many engineers in the country and became respected and loved.

She fantasized that one day she would be able to design and manufacture a machine that would astonish the world, not because she wanted fame or money, nor did she want to gain power over others, but simply because she liked it.

Just as Clara remembered when she met Swarovski, Clara wondered why a lump of iron could move on its own, think on its own, and decide on its own what to do next.

She likes machinery, and likes how those delicate and ingenious parts are assembled together to present the most perfect and handsome side to the world.

She had just said that casually, but she didn't expect that the young man in front of her actually remembered what he said.

Mr. Swarovski can remember what he said because he has a database to store it, and Brother Chen Lin can remember Clara's words because he has been paying attention to him...

From childhood to adulthood, she had never met anyone who valued her so much as a human being, let alone anyone who was willing to spend all his or her fortune to support her in pursuing that unattainable dream.

In an instant, Clara knew how wonderful and joyful it was to be valued.

“Brother Chen Lin… Thank you for helping Clara so much. You have been helping Clara all the time…” Clara’s eyes were a little moist. “Clara will not let you down. Clara can definitely do it!”

"It's okay. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me. I have some knowledge in various fields." Chen Lin squatted down, smiled gently and held Clara's hand. "I also believe Clara can do it. Clara has the ability."

"thank you……"

What a heartwarming scene! Everyone around was moved by it.

Only Xier felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for the moment.

Soon, the very active Clara set out to prepare for the task assigned to her by Chen Lin. To ensure Clara's safety, Chen Lin asked Xier to dispatch a group of armed personnel from the defense department to watch over her.

"Huh... what a great harvest." Chen Lin stretched and asked, "The farm should have harvested almost everything, right?"

"Well, we harvested everything yesterday. There's a lot of food. Do you want to go take a look?"

"Yes, but I will go later. I have other things to do." Chen Lin sighed, "Finally, I found another little girl with a promising future. She doesn't even ask for bonuses. She would have been an excellent employee in the past."

After hearing this, Xier finally realized what was wrong and immediately became alert.

Clara was essentially helping Chen Lin work for nothing, so why was Chen Lin thanked? And Clara looked like she was willing to work wholeheartedly!

Oh my god!

This guy is a damn capitalist! I must be careful not to be sold out by him...

Chapter 96: I have long heard of your great name, and I am honored to meet you today

"So where do we go now?"

"Go to the dock and order some fries."

"?"

Facing Xi'er's puzzled gaze, Chen Lin shook his head and smiled: "Go meet someone, a robot. He has been waiting outside the town for a long time."

Chen Lin became more and more proficient in the use of psychic power. Not only did he discover many new uses for it, he also expanded the "monitor" function that he already had.

Panyan Town is covered on all sides by the psychic entities he placed. As long as he wants, he can monitor any situation in Panyan Town and even in the suburbs at any time.

Of course, Chen Lin is not that idle. He mostly sends relevant instructions to the psychic entity, and it will report to him proactively when it finds that the situation meets the instructions.

More than an hour ago, he received the images and information from the psychic entity. They found a mechanical creature with dangerous energy beside a deserted earth slope in the suburbs. Chen Lin took a closer look and recognized it from the obvious physical characteristics of the other party. It was also the robot that Clara regarded as her family.

——Swarovski.

As an existence that can give Dihuo a headache and also an existence that prevents Dihuo from gaining an advantage in terms of military force, he is very curious about how strong Swarovski can be to achieve the current situation in the lower area where the two forces are separated from each other.

There are many people like Seele in the Dihuo who are so powerful that even he cannot beat him in close combat, and must use advanced technology to attack hard in order to gain the upper hand. Just like Seele can dismantle more than a dozen automatic robots with her bare hands without even breathing a breath, but the name of Svaro makes Seele hesitate.

If you say that this handsome robot has no special abilities, Chen Lin won't believe it at all.

"Swarovski?!" Xier's fur immediately stood up like a frightened kitten.

"It has no ill intentions. It is just observing the situation in Panyan Town from a distance. It is probably worried about Clara."

Xier frowned slightly. It was obvious that she was not very friendly to the cool big robot. After all, the two sides had had many conflicts in the past.

After thinking for a few seconds, she tried to ask: "Should we bring more people? I'm afraid it's not safe with too few people..."

"Let's go take a look first. I was planning to find some time to talk to this mysterious robot as soon as possible. His whereabouts and behavior are the most mysterious in the lower area, and his position is also hard to figure out. I didn't expect it to come here first."

"Are you really okay?" Xier was still a little worried. In her deep impression, Swarovski had long been labeled as difficult to get along with, and he would threaten them with force at every turn, so naturally she didn't have a good impression of him.

Especially since Chen Lin had just arrived here more than a month ago, earth marrow mining was still the job choice for most civilians in the lower area. Swarovski had a strange way of thinking and directly beat up all the people and forces who entered the mining area, calling it "resolving conflicts."

The conflict was resolved, but this method did not solve the problem itself, but instead solved the two people who caused the problem. Xier was silent for a long time and didn't know what to say.

Only Clara is special. Xier also knows that the conflict between Huo and Swarovski has nothing to do with Clara, who has never intervened. As the saying goes, the affairs of one generation should be resolved by one generation, so don't involve the children...

"It's okay. Clara is still in town. What can he do? But to be honest, I never quite understand how you can be so comfortable in such thin clothes while others are wearing such thick clothes."

Chen Lin's eyes fell on Xi'er's long skirt, and the tender thigh: "Not cold at all?"

During his time in Beloberg, Chen Lin met many special people. There was a strange energy around them to some extent. This was true for Jeppard, Pera, Silva, Bronya, and now the familiar Seele also had a strange energy emanating from her.

According to Dan Heng, these powers all seemed to come from the so-called star gods, some of which were strong and some were weak, and the effects varied.

Chen Lin had seen Jeppard's body which was tougher than his mouth. He had also heard of his method of condensing ice walls and ice shields out of thin air. Combined with the stand shield made for him by Shiluva, his ability to hold the formation was extremely strong.

The girl in front of him was similar, except that many times Chen Lin felt that she was not moving too fast to be seen clearly, but that she had torn open some kind of space and time and flashed to the enemy's side.

Another thing is that she can easily hide her figure. Even Chen Lin cannot detect Xier's existence when he is not using psychic monitoring.

It's very interesting, but I wonder if those star gods can give me some gold coins. He also wants to have these powers...

Xier looked down along the direction of his gaze. The cloth straps tied on her leg rings made her tremble uncontrollably, and the tips of the straps swayed slightly.

She asked why this guy kept looking at his legs these past two days, and it turned out that he was thinking about this kind of question.

If it was someone else, they would have been knocked down by her punches a long time ago. However, she did not mind being stared at by the young man next to her. Sometimes she even wished that he would look at her more and talk to her more, so that she could feel comfortable and sleep well at night...

"When I was a wanderer, I often suffered from the cold. I fought and scrambled for survival every day." Xier recalled, "But one day when I was fighting with someone, I suddenly felt full of strength. Since then, I have basically never felt very cold or hot, and I haven't felt any discomfort."

"Well, that's really amazing." Chen Lin nodded and continued to walk to the outskirts of the town. "Anyway, it's good as long as there are no side effects."

No side effects...

Was he worried about himself?

Xier stood there blankly for a moment, then quickly trotted over to catch up.

On the brightly lit street, the two people left the city one after the other.

There are no lush forests. Outside the city there are only bumpy earth pits and narrow, slippery mud paths. Even though the underground fire has paved a wider road with stones nearby, the mud in the cracks can still easily stick to the uppers of shoes.

Following the direction guided by the psychic entity, and with the psychic energy that Chen Lin himself was constantly emitting, the two quickly found the person they were looking for.

Behind the mound, the roar of a machine was heard, and a flash of fiery red light flashed for a moment, and then Chen Lin saw the "giant" standing up.

Swarovski was half a body taller than him, roughly estimated to be about two meters and three meters tall, with the same general appearance as a human, with just the right number of limbs. The huge single eye in the middle of his head emitted a faint red light. Chen Lin guessed that he was scanning himself.

Sure enough, a dull mechanical sound came from inside Swarovski.

"Analyzing...Analysis results: Does not belong to the "Underground Fire" organization. Background: Unknown. Classification: Unknown. Retrieving database feature content... The similarity with the external features of "Chen Lin" mentioned by Clara is 95%, and the character is confirmed to be "Chen Lin". In view of Clara's great affection for you and the fact that you have saved Clara, I will ignore "Underground Fire" member "Xi'er" and initiate the peacekeeping agreement... I need an explanation, what are you doing here?"

"I am indeed Chen Lin, Mr. Swarovski. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am honored to meet you today." Chen Lin laughed and took a half step forward to Swarovski. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Lin. I come from a distant country beyond the stars. My main job is a researcher. I am good at research in various fields such as computing technology, particle physics, biology, and psychic theory.

As for Xi'er, she is my temporary bodyguard, protecting my safety, and she is also my friend. We have no ill will towards you, I just found you here, so I decided to come and talk to you. You see, I am a researcher with no power, so I can't pose any threat to you, please rest assured."

"Scanning... Your physical strength is assessed as: Strong. Your cell activity and recombination and division abilities are extremely abnormal, assessed as: Unknown. Your gene sequence cannot be scanned, assessed as: Unknown. Overall assessment: Strong. The statement that you are powerless is wrong."

The red light flashed a few times and scanned Chen Lin carefully. Swarovski simply exposed Chen Lin's lies, making Chen Lin a little embarrassed.

Xi'er, who was standing by, looked at him with a teasing look, as if to say, "Haha, you didn't fool anyone, did you? You have come to this day, too?"

Fortunately, Chen Lin was thick-skinned enough and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"This is not what I want to talk to you about. Based on the information stored by Dihuo and what Clara said, I will tentatively assume that you are a robot with 'self-evolution logic' and 'automatic comprehensive processing algorithm'. I heard that the reason why you don't get along with Dihuo is because of the calculations you made yourself?"

"Calling the database content... Calling authorization: approved. The rift erosion on Beloberg is becoming more and more serious. The mineral "earth marrow" that sustains human survival is about to be exhausted. The rift erosion that cannot be destroyed is increasing. Beloberg cannot escape the fate of destruction. The greed in the hearts of humans will accelerate the progress of destruction. Politics, economy, and culture will gradually collapse under the pressure of the rift. City Builder's Order: Do your best to protect human survival for a longer time."

"Do you still think so now?" Chen Lin shrugged. "I can deal with the rift. The rift is essentially a kind of special energy that aggregates and collides, causing the space to squeeze and expand. As long as the energy that maintains the rift is consumed, the rift will disappear on its own. I helped them recover the commercial district that was eroded by the rift in the upper area. I have also helped everyone clear a lot of rifts here. If you have spies in towns like Rivet Town or Forge Hammer Town, you should know that there are fewer rifts."
