The Difference Engine was a product of machinery and steam that increased multiplication speed and precise timing.
Shen Yan didn't know it existed because most of the people and ghosts in the abyss were using it.
In fact, cars and ships produced by Abyss Technology are also used, such as speed dials, gasoline counters, airships, and clocks, etc. It is considered a very mature technology of Abyss.
Shen Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up. He immediately wanted to find out whether this difference machine could be used for online timing. This was also because the abyss was very close to the mercenary city. For example, he went to the Tongluo Tribe to learn about the kind of machine that might be used. To make the ore materials for the network card, it will take more time to prepare.
Before going to the abyss, Shen Yan brought all the Chinese allusions he had written silently on paper. Of course, this was only a part of it, but so many days of silent writing made the content above very rich.
If you read the allusions carefully, you can have a more vivid understanding of Chinese civilization.
Binding them into a volume will become a thick teaching textbook of Huaxia Academy, and it will also be an unimaginably rich collection of mysterious rituals belonging to China.
Abyss, dark environment.
Although the eyes of the abyss ghosts are particularly sensitive to light sources because they are in darkness all year round, they do not completely need light.
In the weak and dim environment, Shen Yan had to concentrate especially to see things clearly.
Passing by the supermarket they opened in the abyss, you can see many abyss ghosts carrying baskets and selecting products on the rows of shelves in the supermarket.
It must be said that the business of this supermarket is always booming.
I even met a few people who knew Shen Yan and asked, "When will you open more supermarkets? We have to come from far away to buy the products we want."
The Abyss Grand Canyon is very long, extending along the coast, passing through Brahma Emperor City, and even approaching Kenya. There are several cities close to the Grand Canyon along the way.
The abyss ghosts have been able to compete with humans for a long time without being robbed or invaded, making humans fearful. This is not because humans have been divided into many small cities. After all, the history of the abyss ghosts is very long, and they can even be traced back to the old days. Naturally, they have also experienced the time of human unification.
Therefore, they can survive independently of human beings to this day, relying on their huge power and some technologies from the past.
Shen Yan stood outside the window of the printing room and stared into the room intently.
He had already handed the papers with Chinese allusions written silently on them to the staff.
The staff is printing out the text word by word using a mechanical manual typewriter.
The mechanical manual typewriter is a very interesting instrument.
The smell of ink lingers in the air.
Every time Shen Yan comes to the abyss, he always has a special feeling. In fact, this is the era closest to the time he lived in, well, although it is still far away.
But he can always find something familiar and eye-catching, such as now.
The abyss is a place worth exploring, whether it is humanities or history. As a historian, Shen Yan has always been very interested in this aspect. Unfortunately, now is not the time for him to conduct research as a scholar.
Perhaps one day, he can regain his job and truly study these topics as a scholar.

?The soap is a bit slippery to remind you that "Thirty Thousand Years of the Earth" will be updated in [] as soon as possible, remember [()]? "Come to []♀see the latest chapter♀full chapter" ()
Shen Yan looked at it for a while. It would take some time to print the books, especially when there was a lot of demand.
After agreeing on the delivery time with the printing boss, Shen Yan went to Li Xiang to find out about the difference engine.
Li Xiang's face was blank now and he didn't know what kind of expression to show.
Because he just experienced an extraordinary event. The place called the Internet is so magical that it can actually communicate directly between people across distances. Although the alliance's negotiations to resist Abraham's undead army still have no results, because ...There are too many human cities and too many city lords.
There are too many cities and too many city lords with various personalities and purposes, resulting in the inability to unify opinions, and no one wants to let their own forces be sacrificed as a vanguard.
This disaster requires a lot of cities to unite to fight it.
Although Shen Yan came to the abyss, he was incarnated in the Sea of Damon, so he knew the results of the informal summit meeting of the city lords of each city clearly.
The formation of an alliance is not a simple matter. Selfishness, desire, and cowardice may cause anyone to hold different opinions. There are even some very anxious city lords who see the resistance brought by the Internet to Abraham's undead spirit. After the possibility of a large army, they wanted to sit back and enjoy the gains without consuming any of the strength of the self-generated city, waiting for other cities to join forces and charge into battle, and wait for the end of this disaster.
Shen Yan also lamented that the publisher and network administrator of "World Peace News" had lost so much, and they tried their best to persuade them to connect to the Internet, giving them hope of resisting Abraham.
Of course, human nature is complicated, and Shen Yan did not simply think that such a huge alliance could succeed so easily.
Shen Yan explained his intention to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was obviously a little absent-minded, because many humans hoped that the abyss ghosts would come out of the abyss and send their airships to block Abraham's undead army.
Such a decision has a great impact on the Abyss. Although there is no reason for them to stay in the Abyss and not go out, the life style of one or two centuries has made the Abyss people and ghosts accustomed to the current lifestyle and environment. .
Li Xiang came to his senses: "Difference engine?"
"If it's just timing, the simplest differential engine will do. Of course, the more precise the timing, the more sophisticated the craftsmanship required."
He casually took out several differential engines and showed them to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan knew that Abyss had a mechanical pocket watch, but he didn't expect that Abyss had another timer.
Big, small, rough, delicate enough to be controlled.
Shen Yan picked up a controllable differential engine and looked through it up, down, left and right.
Li Xiang took a look: "This kind is mostly used on fishing boats and so on."
After thinking for a while, he said: "There is also a more refined one that is used on our airships. I can show it to you if you need it."
Shen Yan quickly said: "This is enough."
He uses the difference engine to time the Internet so that he can accurately collect Internet fees. He does not need such an advanced difference engine.
Shen Yan said: "I may need a large number of such difference engines in a while, I don't know the abyss
() Can you talk to me about this business? "
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment. Abyss is relatively rich, but not so rich that he doesn't care about money, and there are many ways to spend money. For example, they can't grow food, and most of their food is seafood, but they sometimes need to Buy a lot of food to prepare for the unexpected.
"Just a difference engine?"
When used alone, the difference engine actually has no use except timing.
Shen Yan nodded: "I have to confirm another thing before making a decision."
The negotiation between the two was actually just verbal. A real large-scale transaction also required formal negotiation, such as price, scale, supply speed and quantity, the person responsible for the transaction, etc.
Li Xiang nodded: "You can come to me at any time and I will arrange the quantity you need."
Many of Abyss's children have recently become professionals, and Shen Yan has washed away the grievances of history for Abyss. Abyss's favorability towards Shen Yan is overwhelming. Li Xiang did not even hesitate for this small favor.
In fact, Li Xiang only thought that the Tiger and Parlor Mercenary Group needed some difference machines, and had a certain misunderstanding of the demand mentioned by Shen Yan.
He still didn't know how big an order he had promised for Abyss.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. This order will make Abyss richer and the people of Abyss live a more prosperous life.
Shen was very satisfied with this trip to the abyss, and then he hurriedly called Zhao Kuo, His Highness Gaia, and His Highness Boci to escort him to the copper furnace that Guards the Sealed Evil Weapon Mountains mentioned by His Highness Boci. tribe.
Because this involves whether Shen Yan's network can be promoted on a large scale and whether Chinese civilization can truly spread to the world, Shen Yan is still a little anxious.
On the other hand, Zhao Kuo, Gaia, and Bo Ci looked at Shen Yan with some confusion.
This always lazy guy actually wants to be in a hurry sometimes.
Shen Yan felt uncomfortable and replied: "I am doing something that will change the times."
"You will know then how remarkable such an epoch-making feat is."
Zhao Kuo said: "Comparable to World Peace News?"
Now "World Peace News" has been called a miracle by countless cities.
The corner of Shen Yan's mouth twitched. Sure enough, people who lived relatively close to him had no clues about many things, but he didn't choose to say it, and others didn't pry in private.
Everyone has their own privacy, even the best friend or the closest person, peeking into it without permission is an outrageous behavior.
Shen Yan was very lucky that all he met were true friends, otherwise these secrets about him would have brought him countless troubles.
Of course, Zhao Kuo, Gaia, and Bo Ci also have many secrets that Shen Yan doesn't know about. He can be curious, but does it mean that just because they are friends, he has to pursue them and explore them?
Those who pursue true friends must have no secrets. Isn't this an act of coercion as a "friend" regardless of the other person's wishes?
As soon as the network card that can connect to the Internet comes out, Shen Yan will definitely give it to Zhao Kuo and the others for use as soon as possible.
Gaia's Scarlet Wheel of Punishment transformed into a flying dragon that quickly streaked across the sky.
This time they went to a distant mountain range.
After several days of wind
Dusty,
Looking down from the sky,
You can see the majestic and towering mountains.
But something strange is that the edges of the mountains are still green, but the middle of the mountains is completely black, with only a few dead trees swaying here and there.
Boci muttered: "The contamination from evil weapons is getting more and more serious. When I came here last time, such a barren area was not so vast."
"No wonder the people of the Tongluo Tribe have contacted the human cities outside for the first time, hoping to dump the ore they excavated that was contaminated by evil weapons into the territories of each city to share the pollution caused by the evil weapons."
"Otherwise, if this continues, the Tongluo Tribe will no longer have room to survive."
Shen Yan couldn't help but ask: "What's the result? Did each city agree?"
After all, these evil weapons were produced by human beings because of their desires, and they were sealed because of the inability of humans to control their influence. The Tongluo Tribe is guarding the sealed place on behalf of all mankind. I even heard from Boci that the people guarding it were also because of the evil weapons. Due to the pollution, the body changed, becoming short, strong, rough and dark.
Boci shook his head in disbelief: "Who is willing to accept the ore that is full of evil spirits?"
"Otherwise, this mountain range would not be polluted like this."
Shen Yan pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gaia's flying dragon continued to fly at high speed, and it took a day and a night to reach the center of the mountain range.
We must know that the transportation in this world is very inconvenient. Without Gaia's evil flying dragon, we don't know how long we would have to trek through the roadless and rugged mountains to get here.
Shen Yan couldn't help but ask His Highness Boci: "Why did you come here to such an inaccessible place? There are also legends about gods here?"
Boji: "That's not true."
Then he glanced at Gaia: "If you are being chased, you will panic and choose your way out."
Shen Yan: "..."
When the flying dragon stopped in front of a towering mountain range, Shen Yan jumped off the flying dragon and stood firm. When he looked up, he was shocked by the spectacular scene in front of him.
Where is the mountain? It is obviously the gate of a palace. On both sides of the gate stand giant stone statues with hammers and axes as high as the mountains.
Shen Yan: "..."
No wonder Boci once said that the Tongluo tribe built a great city in the heart of the mountain where the evil weapon was sealed.
great! Shen Yan finally understood why Bo Ci described it this way.
Next wave: "The people of the Copper Furnace Tribe are a little bad-tempered and a little violent. They are the most amazing forgers and architects in the world."
At this time, perhaps because of the arrival of Shen Yan and the others, a row of dwarves with big beards and rosacea came out of the holes dug in the huge city gate.
The dwarves seemed very surprised, and even rubbed their eyes with their thick arms, and then raised their voices loudly.
"Close the city gate quickly, that damn wave is coming again."
Several people: "..."
Boji shrugged: "I'm only responsible for bringing you here. I can't guarantee whether you can go in."
Shen Yan didn't ask Boci what he did when he came here before. Judging from his expression, he probably didn't do anything good. The huge city gate really closed with a rumbling sound, and a group of black and strong dwarves were closing it with their bare hands. The incredible gates are closed.
Boci: "There are forces in this world who have no idea of using evil weapons, but they have never succeeded. These dwarfs are extremely powerful. Ordinary people are comparable to professionals. Their strength is not simple."
Shen Yan thought for a while, if the stone door was really closed, it would be difficult to communicate.
Shen Yan relaxed his voice: "Fellow warriors of the Tongluo Tribe, we are here to help you solve the problem of no place to put the ores contaminated by evil weapons. Do you really want to close the door to friendship?"!
