    After the second act of "Lake of Giants" ended, Li Yan and Zha Xiaodao brought some braised duck and whiskey, and took the initiative to visit Chang Yu's rented apartment.

    When the two knocked on the door, Chang Yu was polishing the shell of a gauntlet.  This is not a job, he always likes to make small things in private.

    "I'm sorry, Chang. I know you're on vacation. But I had a good chat with you last time, and I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

    Chang Yu smiled at Li Yan: "Where is it, come in and say it."

    He let the door open, and Li Yan and Zha Xiaodao walked into Chang Yu's rented house.

    This room doesn't look big, and it doesn't have any decent furniture.  Cardboard boxes filled with metal parts are everywhere.  There are also some commonly used parts processing machines, such as pneumatic grinding machines, gear fan forming instruments, and even a small processing machine tool.

    On the side of the bed against the wall, there are stacks of drawings that are as thick as bricks.  There is a pen holder on the window sill, which is full of used charcoal tubes, as well as household sundries such as toothbrushes and razors.

    There is no table, but there is a rail-type drawing machine and a small bench. On the blueprints, only half-drawn individual helmet designs are completed.

    The three sat in a circle, Li Yan uncorked the wine and poured wine for the other two.

    "Actually, I have thought about your question last time, and I still insist that human beings are just more complex machines made of flesh and blood. It's just that the current technology is not enough to reach this height. But if you want to reach the level you said  Yes, a machine comparable to a living creature may not be impossible to do it."

    Chang Yu held up a duck leg, and didn't bother to take off the monocle that he usually wears at work, and talked to Li Yan eloquently.

    "Look at this."

    He handed Li Yan a book, which looked like a scholar's work on mechanical theory.

    "The triathlon has two basic functions. First, it can intensify the vaporization effect hundreds of times. With a small amount of water and fuel, it can generate huge power. The second is to make some liquids that are not easy to vaporize  And metals can be vaporized at extremely low temperatures to play their role, for example, mercury vapor can emit strong light, and tungsten vapor can be used to make fully automatic individual soldiers."

    "In England more than a hundred years ago, a scholar put forward the well-known theory of triathlon linkage, that is, in the same machine, more triathlon balls can be operated at the same time, and the efficiency of the machine will be geometrically improved.  .This discovery caused a sensation at the time, but it was soon discovered that, in most cases, only one of the balls will work if the three balls are roughly connected in the machine. Only through experiments with different materials and conclusive machine design  , in order to make more triathlons work.¡±

    Hearing this, Li Yan suddenly thought of the six-core single soldier "Unicorn" of the Steam Princess in Giant Lake.

    Chang Yu enthusiastically continued to popularize Li Yan's science: "In the decades since the triathlon linkage theory came out, most scholars and engineers' mechanical designs stayed at dual-core, and a few steam equipment reached triple-core. At that time,  Many outstanding science fiction writers have been born, and they fantasize that machines with multi-core technology can enable people to fly into space, go deep into the seabed, create huge illusions, burst out destructive power comparable to myths, and even live forever.¡±

    Li Yan drew his voice: "What do you mean?"

    "The theory of three-way linkage sounds absurd, but in fact, no one can overthrow this theory today. The steam airship that came out in Scotland in 1805 reached the technical level of five triathlon balls operating at the same time. In 1850, the city of London floated into the sky.  It is supported by eight triathlon balls. And this month, the sky train, which will be exhibited at the London World Expo, also has seven to eight triathlon balls operating at the same time."

    Chang Yu opened his hands, his eyes shining brightly: "If there are eight-core steam soldiers in the future, or even nine-core ones, maybe the robots you said, which are comparable to living things, will become a reality."

    After hearing this, Li Yan immediately asked: "Then how many cores are the most advanced steam soldiers?"

    "Seven cores."

    Chang Yu replied without hesitation: "Enfield Company is the most advanced steam individual soldier in the world. A while ago, I was experimenting with the latest steam individual soldier, the eight-core "Giant Imir".  The running triathlon was overloaded, and Ymir failed to run it. Therefore, the steam individual soldiers that can be put into actual combat are only at the level of seven cores."

    "To say something that might be offensive, often, with your ability, how many cores of individual soldier armor can you make?"

    "Six to seven cores."

    Li Yan didn't speak, just stared at Chang Yu blankly.

    Chang Yu scratched his head in embarrassment: "However, the production process of high-level steam soldiers requires the use ofThe type of machinery and equipment that are the property of the Enfield Company.  Moreover, in fact, I have not carried out the production process of steam individual soldiers alone, but I have been helping others. The reason why I said that I may be able to manufacture individual soldiers with six to seven cores is because"

    Chang Yu was a little embarrassed. He threw away the duck bones, and took out many things from under the bed. They turned out to be various high-end steam soldiers of Enfield Company!

    This includes the flyable, highly maneuverable "Venus."  The "Thor" equipped with heavy firepower and four-wheel drive can be used as a "Hera" for a single-person off-road vehicle, but invariably, the tallest of these individual soldiers is no more than 50 centimeters, and the smallest is only 20 to 30 centimeters  , To put it bluntly, it's just a toy.

    "These are all processed from the things in my room, not just models, all the parts are scaled down according to the real individual soldiers."

    Zha Xiaodao looked at Chang Yu very strangely. He picked up a single soldier and raised it at Chang Yu: "Can it be used?"

    "Haha, then you have to find a dwarf who can wear these individual soldiers."

    Chang Yu made a joke.

    "Ah, by the way, Li, this is for you."

    Chang Yu knocked open the case behind a toy soldier, and took a screwdriver to remove a fingernail-sized hot pot-shaped part from inside.

    "I heard from Xiaodao that you want a triathlon ball. The triathlon ball used in the factory is too expensive and not worth it. If you are just interested, I will give this to you. I made it myself, and the cost of labor is not high."

    After finishing speaking, he put this pocket triathlon ball into Li Yan's hands.

    Li Yan looked at the triathlon ball thoughtfully, then suddenly raised his head and said to Chang Yu: "Chang, I want to hire you to make such a single soldier. I will design the specific style with you. If you want  , just make a price."

    "You are Zha's friend and also my friend. If you like, everything is here. You can pick whatever you want, no money required."

    Li Yan shook his head: "These things don't meet my requirements, so they must be made separately."

    Chang Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said for a long time: "Okay, what style do you want?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
