Chapter XVI. Correspondence with Leonardo da Vinci
At night, in a hidden room of an auto repair shop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
“…… Is it. That's what she said about my gun. ”
The old voice said this, and let out a voice that could not be heard whether it was emotion or sorrow, and the voice echoed in the empty four walls, transmitting a subtle echo.
In this Holy Grail War, the only place that can be linked to such a modern place as a garage is Leonardo da Vinci.
This genius scientist through and through regarded this place as his "workshop", and after only a day of absence, many new machines of unknown purpose were added to it, and the sound of quiet rotation was emitted.
Carl once hinted to the employees here that they should meet Leonardo da Vinci's request as much as possible. At the same time, Leonardo da Vinci's room is magically hidden, and for ordinary people, their feelings are probably "There is always not enough money!" and "What are these parts for?".
But if you think about it, profligacy is the preserve of the upper echelons, and employees who are used to being oppressed don't bother to waste time thinking about how much money their bosses have embezzled. It doesn't matter if the money is misappropriated by the boss.
As mentioned earlier, their goal is not to criticize the leader, nor to really ask where the real money goes, but simply to make themselves feel at ease.
Leonardo da Vinci was a genius, but first and foremost a scientist, and since he was a scientist, he had the coldness of a scientist. In that era when theocracy was highly oppressive to the people, da Vinci dared to secretly dissect the human body, which shows that he was the type who was desperate for science - it was not just as simple as burning at the stake when he was discovered! What did he care about even if he didn't want his own life?
Naturally, in order to study the compatibility of the Demon Dao and science, he didn't mind using this auto repair shop to fund his own research.
At this time, this poorly dressed old man was sitting in a rocking chair made of steel pipes, holding a piece of the barrel of a firearm that was obviously a firearm in one hand, and was comparing it in front of him to confirm the rifling. The contrast between the smooth outer steel pipe and the old man's withered palm like a tree branch is strong, and the gray of the beard is also incompatible with the highly textured steel blue.
So, I was thinking. ”
Seeing that Leonardo da Vinci didn't pay much attention to chatting with himself, Karl smiled bitterly and continued, "I wonder if you can develop a more powerful weapon. ”
"Hmm. No problem. ”
Leonardo da Vinci didn't look at it, didn't think about it, and responded in the affirmative, his old but energetic voice was particularly loud in the empty room.
Yes, empty, he is the only one here. Carl didn't come.
Construct a ...... for communication between the two Not magic, of course.
That's what is known as a portable computer. A representative product of the notebook PC that continues to be miniaturized and the high performance.
"But, my lord, I want to ask you a question. ”
"You say?"
Faced with the question of this old man who always looked "I know everything", Carl on the other side of the video communication also obviously showed a look of surprise. Leonardo da Vinci put down the barrel of the gun and continued to pick up what seemed to be a blueprint, carefully comparing the subtle differences between the actual object and the design sketch.
"Do you know when the car was invented?"
"I don't know. ”
"1885 year. That year, Benz and Daimler invented the diesel locomotive almost simultaneously. They were almost fifty years old. Assuming they started their research at the age of ten, it took them about forty years to [invent] the car. So, question two......"
Leonardo da Vinci said, putting down the blueprint in his hand, his fingertips were sticking to some oil stains from maintaining the firearm, leaving his clear fingerprints on the blueprint. He didn't mind, picked up some parts that didn't see the purpose, and began to assemble them. As he worked, he said, "Question two, how long did it take to go from a slow speed of 12 kilometers per hour in 1885 to a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour?"
“…… I don't know. ”
The answer is that it hasn't been done yet. That's the limit of a vehicle like a car. ”
Leonardo da Vinci's wonderful example made Carl scratch his head, he couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, scientists are like this, the more powerful they are, the more they like to say a lot of wordy things, the conclusion is obviously very short, but they are unwilling to give an answer directly, they have to be self-righteous to sell their knowledge, and hide their opinions in a way that seems to be very rigorous and credible, so that people can guess - guess the hell, people ask you because you don't know, they want answers, and as a result, you don't give people the answer to let people guess what the hell the riddle is!
From this point of view, Leonardo da Vinci was indeed a scientist. No matter how different it is, this habit of liking to explain and let people summarize their own conclusions has not disappeared.
Karl frowned and screamed for trouble, and then summed up stubbornly, "Do you mean that the limits of the Heroic Spirit Weapon do not allow such a high-powered attack?"
"Not really. I mean, that takes time. As I said earlier, it took about 40 years to invent the diesel locomotive, but it took nearly 200 years to optimize it to the limit. [Invention] is one thing, [improvement] is another, and the difficulty is completely different. I didn't understand the Demon Way, so I had to explore it with my own ideas. What I know for sure is that I will definitely look it out. However, how long it will take for it to reach the level of killing other Heroic Spirits, I don't know myself. ”
"Yes. ”
Carl sighed, his fair skin wrinkling in thought.
"But if there are [examples], it's different. ”
Leonardo da Vinci said suddenly.
"Examples?"
"Yes, examples. To use a painting as a metaphor, "creation" is to draw a draft by yourself, and "improvement" is to refine the draft into a masterpiece. [Example] is 'copying'. You don't need to think too much, just follow the cat's picture. ”
"In other words, do you want me to provide you with the Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm?"
Karl's voice was full of bitterness, the treasure is the embodiment of the glory of the Heroic Spirit, and it can't be casually handed over to someone else for safekeeping, right?
Then you can only grab it.
However, the Noble Phantasm is "part of the Heroic Spirit", and the Servant can easily choose to materialize or incarnate it. Other words......
Either snatch Leonidas's spear and shield, a heroic warrior who, according to Archer, is not good at spiritualizing weapons, or negotiate with Archer to borrow her oak bow.
There is no difference in the difficulty of these two missions! Now that Archer is not strong enough, what is the difference between challenging the Lancer and sending him to death?
"Yes, that would be much more efficient. According to my guess, the Noble Phantasm and the Armament of the Spirit are two completely different systems that should be of reference value. ”
"This ...... I know. I'll do my best. But until then, how far can guns be raised?"
"Well, who knows. ”
“…… Tsk, I see. ”
After saying that, Carl unilaterally cut off the video communication, and the screen of the handheld computer went black, and quickly switched back to the desktop, and the refreshing blue background resurfaced.
"Okay......"
In order to reconvert his emotions into the researcher's emotions, Leonardo da Vinci gave a brief shout.
"It's rare to be reborn as a heroic spirit, and I have a body that doesn't need to rest and won't get tired, so let me make good use of it, it would be a waste to leave like this, this world is full of things worth exploring...... But until then......"
Da Vinci clicked on the screen a few times, only to see the screen jump rapidly, flashing out several shopping interfaces, all in English, the things sold are wonderful parts, I can't see the use, but the zero behind the price is really real. That's not a high-end part that an average garage can afford.
"Oops, oops...... Do you really have to find a way to get the money first...... Is there an easy way for me to make money in this day and age?"
