Some Unscientific Marvel Scientist

Ever since he dreamed about Master Craftsman Overback, Kraft began to delve into the dwarf engineering seen in the dream. Not to mention the later gadgets that require magic materials, just the mechanical squirrel for entry. Much to Kraft's delight.

Bolts, copper ingots, malachite.

Under the magical engineering, these simple materials have turned into a mechanical squirrel that can follow itself and run flexibly without requiring additional energy. This is simply forcing the law of conservation of energy to rub on the ground.

It's just that his dreams have always been unscientific. This situation can't make Kraft have many happy thoughts. The key is that this mechanical squirrel can be copied.

Although the mechanical squirrel made by Alice will be governed by the law of conservation of energy again and will not actively follow its owner, it is not difficult to add a power source such as a battery box or a clockwork to it. The little squirrel is still The same flexibility, as long as it is designed with a voice control or light sensor system, it is not difficult at all to sell it as a high-end toy.

Although it cannot increase his combat power, it can increase his income, so that Kraft has more money to research other inventions. After all, scientific research is still very expensive, and having one more way to make a fortune will naturally make him Kraft felt happy, not to mention that there would be several mechanical pets with different shapes in the future. When Kraft understood the technology inside, he could design more shapes by himself.

I don’t know if dreams have evolved, or if Kraft has been really lucky recently. When he started studying engineering, he had several consecutive dreams about engineering-related things in the world called Azeroth. Some of the characters are not master craftsmen, but ordinary craftsman apprentices.

But Kraft was even more satisfied with this, because these apprentices took him to understand the basics of engineering in detail, which accelerated his overall learning progress a lot.

In addition, Kraft also dreamed of characters taking the goblin engineering route. Without the biased rhythm of the gnomes, Kraft also had a more comprehensive understanding of goblin engineering, except for those relatively backward weapon technologies. , there are many things in goblin engineering that Kraft deserves to learn.

Just like that goblin pacemaker

Originally, Kraft thought that the help that engineering brought to him, apart from those high-end props that he didn’t know whether he could make, was probably to mass-produce those small mechanical pets to help him raise funds, but he soon realized that I discovered that the really powerful thing about this dream is not some advanced engineering creation, but the magical basic setting that can twist copper ingots into bronze tubes with bare hands.

The specific principle was unknown to Kraft, but when he saw a dwarf craftsman apprentice rolling copper ingots into bronze tubes in his dream, he was able to copy this method in the real world, and Not only bronze pipes, but also other metals can be used, as well as rubbing strong gunpowder from stones, polishing gems into lenses without any tools, etc.

Kraft mastered this unscientific method after having a few dreams.

"This is considered scientific"

Putting the steel pipe he had just rolled out in his hand aside, Kraft looked at his still white hands and suddenly had doubts about the definition of the word science.

"Big Brother Niubi"

Quinn, who watched Kraft's operation from the sidelines, screamed.

"Teach me, big brother, teach me"

Ergouzi came up to Kraft with a stupid face and kept harassing him.

"Don't think about it, your dog paws can't learn it."

Kraft came to his senses and pushed Quinn's stupid face away.

Quinn lowered his head in silence, looked at his dog's paws, and then brought his head closer, the tail on his butt wagging crazily.

"Brother, please give me a human hand."

"Okay." Kraft rolled his eyes, and then gave Quinn a sinister smile, "But before that, I have to chop off your dog's paws."

"rua"

Quinn jumped back suddenly and quickly got under the table with his tail between his legs.

"It's okay to cut off the claws, but I don't want them anymore. I don't want them anymore."

"Stupid dog"

Beya, who was lying on the computer case to keep warm, yawned and cursed contemptuously.

After mastering the core technology of hand-rubbed materials, Kraft's progress in engineering began to advance at a crazy pace, and soon he reached the stage where he needed some special materials.

Mithril.

This name is not uncommon in Kraft's dreams in other magical worlds. It even exists on Earth, but unfortunately it only exists in various fantasy works.

Kraft specifically checked the settings of Mithril on Earth: it has the same ductility as bronze, is as smooth as glass, is as hard as iron, but is as light as a feather, has the luster of silver, and will never dim. .

Then there are some supplementary settings, such as magic affinity and the like.

In the several fantasy worlds that Kraft dreamed of, the characteristics of mithril were very different from these settings. Although Kraft was a little strange, he didn't take it too seriously.

There were so many strange things in his dreams, and if he had to get to the bottom of each one, he wouldn't be able to survive this day.

Apart from those fantasy settings about magic, the properties of mithril itself are not complicated. It is hard, light, and highly ductile. Although there are no such natural minerals on the earth, it is not difficult to make similar alloys as substitutes. Not to mention that in Kraft's dream, there are some alloy formulas with even more unscientific properties.

After repeatedly watching the use of mithril by the craftsmen in the dream, Kraft could determine that most engineering creations did not require the magic affinity of mithril, or even if there was no magic affinity, it would only reduce the performance and not hinder the use. .

Then this was easy to handle. Kraft spent some time and made all the alloys he knew that were close to the properties of mithril. Then he looked at the design drawings in the engineering and decided to use dwarf rocket boots. Let's do a test to see which alloy is closest to the mithril in the world of Azeroth.

It happened that there were a few pairs of foot strength-enhancing shoes left over from the previous production, but they were still not enough. Kraft called the shoe store under Martin's name and asked them to send a dozen pairs.

The technology in Azeroth that can produce equipment without the assistance of large equipment and only relying on hammers, wrenches and hands is so imba. It only took Kraft less than two days to complete more than a dozen pairs of dwarf rocket boots. It took all the effort to rub it out.

But the testers need to think carefully about it.

Kraft looked at the row of rocket boots in front of him, lost in thought.

This thing is not only found in dwarf engineering, but also in the goblin branch. It is rare for both branches to have reminders at the same time.

The gnomes are more subtle here, warning that energy systems and transmission systems do not always work properly.

Goblins, on the other hand, are pretty straightforward: they're likely to explode suddenly, so use them with caution.

We are not in a dream now. Being bombed is just waking up from a dream. If he was bombed, Kraft, a mortal body, might not be able to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Although there are some things in the dream. less prosthetic technology

But who would use the pirated version if they have the original? Even if the pirated version is better than the original, the original is always more satisfying to use.

Even Quinn's stupid dog could handle this kind of thing, so it was naturally impossible for Kraft to take the initiative to kill him.

So after much thought, Kraft called Alice.

"Ehhh"

Upon hearing Kraft's cold-blooded request, Alice cried on the spot.

"No, brother, I'm scared."

Alice hugged Kraft's thigh tightly and refused to let go.

"A robot like you is afraid of being a der"

Kraft kicked the thigh that was being held, but failed to shake it off. He could only patiently reason with Alice.

"As long as you turn off the pain system, even if it explodes, it won't hurt. I'll replace the damaged parts with new parts and the problem will be solved."

"But what if I blow up my brain?"

Alice still looked tearful.

"The power of these shoes is not that great." Looking at Alice's pitiful expression, Kraft also softened a little. He stroked Alice's head and comforted softly: "And I can put your The memory is backed up to the computer, and even if the chip inside is accidentally damaged, the memory can be recovered again."

"But is it really me that Alice wakes up like that?"

""

Kraft was stunned. Although he occasionally had the illusion that Alice was an ordinary human being and had some feelings for her, he still did not treat her as a living being from his heart and reason.

No matter how human she usually behaves, in Kraft's perception, this is closer to the behavioral logic caused by the program, rather than truly having self-awareness or a soul.

"Since you don't like it, forget it."

Kraft pursed his lips and helped Alice up from the ground.

"Brother, you are angry. Actually, I am just a little scared. I just need to get over it."

Alice said, reaching out to grab the rocket boots on the table, but Kraft slapped them away.

"I'm not angry, there's just something I don't understand. As for the experiment, at worst I can just make a new remote-controlled robot. It just takes more time."

Kraft rubbed his belly and changed the subject.

"I'm a little hungry, can you make me some snacks?"

"I will handle it."

Alice suddenly became happy when she heard that she didn't have to go on stage for the test. She rolled up her sleeves and showed a bright smile, and then walked to the kitchen next to the studio.

"Well done, Kraft."

Beja jumped from the nearby computer case into Kraft's arms, rubbed her head against his chest, and praised him.

Quinn tilted his head:

Kraft scratched Beja's chin and said nothing.

He has read a lot of science fiction works related to robots, including novels, TV shows, movies, and games. The discussion about robots has never stopped, and one of the ideas is quite popular.

When a robot becomes self-aware, can it be considered a living being?

Kraft used to be happy with this point of view, but now

"Now I really have an extra sister."

Kraft scratched his head and sighed helplessly, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
