In order not to let Victoria find out, William's expression was very indifferent. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info When he saw the large difference machine that filled the room, powered by a five-hundred-horsepower steam engine, William had nothing but a little surprise.

"As an adjunct to scientific research, it seems to be very qualified. In the end, William simply gave this assessment to this thing: "Mathematics, in a sense, philosophy is the foundation of the soul, and mathematics is the basis of reality." The guys who study math are always admired because they can make our world a better place. ”

In a sense, William's statement is not wrong. Indeed, a computer is called a computer because it can do calculations. Computing is the original purpose of the invention of computers.

So, after hearing what William said, Victoria nodded. Expressing approval of William's statement. And so, William and Victoria commented on the large differential machine, the product that Dr. Babbage was going to exhibit at the World's Fair in Rotterdam, and then left satisfied.

The machine was built under the auspices of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Breton, which means that the ownership of the machine belongs to Breton. In this case, it is almost impossible to rob, steal, buy or acquire anything. And Dr. Babbage, whose life trajectory has been rewritten, has now become a guest of honor at the Royal Academy of Sciences in Britton.

As the culmination of the "science" of this era, the Royal Academy of Sciences is the promised land that all scholars in the human world dream of, and it is very difficult to poach this bastard.

To make matters worse, Babbage is not alone in building and modifying the Difference Machine. In fact, after being forced to seek the help of the dwarves, this talented race of cattle has improved their ability to build and improve the difference machine to a level that surpasses that of the original author in the shortest possible time.

How to put it, with the unbridled imagination of human beings, coupled with the ability to surpass miracles like dwarves. Now displayed in front of William, this large difference machine wrapped in a brass casing and looking shiny, is the crystallization of the joint efforts of the elites of both sides.

"It's beautiful, it's unimaginably beautiful. Industry, technology, imagination. When they come together, do they feel like this?" William couldn't help but sigh.

Wanted, wanted, really, really wanted. It's a waste of such a beautiful thing to be in the hands of a bunch of unsavvy bastards. It would be better if it was in his hands...... It's just a pity, just as in this era, the most powerful steam engine was produced by the Britons, and the difference machine was also produced by the Britons.

Compared to the army, to what victory, to the White Army, William naturally knew that what the Briton people had in their hands was the most powerful force in the world so far.

"But even if it's ...... Well. So William casually mentioned it: "Speaking of which, our university is also building its own library, research room and supporting research institutions. If I could, I'd like to buy one of these differentials and go back. ”

He had wanted to pretend that nothing had happened in front of Victoria.

But if you think about it carefully, will this cause Victoria to wonder if she is doing this, and then let her know the value of this kind of thing a little faster?

Or think about it further, does this guy already know the value of this thing? She deliberately put this thing in front of William, just to deter him and make him understand his power?

However, the above possibility seems unlikely, because if the other party really cared about this thing, he would not have been dragged to Rotterdam and so many people would have come to visit.

Then, William thought of another possibility, that is, he sent his Cheka members, either by coercion or by trickery, to threaten to buy and win over the big engineers who could build and improve the differential machine, and at the same time obtain the manufacturing and description drawings of the differential machine.

However, William thought about it again, maybe he did this to really arouse the suspicion of the other party.

That's it, William was very, very keen to get this machine, and even if he couldn't stop Victoria and Briton from getting the Difference Machine, and the steam computer technology, he and his Russia would have to get the same thing.

"All in all...... Let's start with an academic ...... It's good to buy some low-level differential machines. Pretending to be persuaded by others, he looks very helpless. There was actually no interest in this kind of thing. Well, that's it, so there should be no problem. William thought to himself. All in all, after seeing these bastard things, his mind was completely shocked by these products that were ahead of his time. Now, presumably Victoria dances in front of him, William will not be attracted to it.

In a sense, William was indeed a very qualified monarch. He has a very strong materialistic desire, and if he wants something, he will use all means to get it in the shortest possible time. It's the same whether it's a woman or a difference machine. That's it.

"But, all in all, it's the scientists who are the most important. William thought to himself, scientist, engineer, researcher. Wanted to get a batch of these bastards anyway. After all, even if you have the technology that surpasses the times for 300 years, you can't conquer the world alone.

Not to mention that he still has to govern the country, command the army, and do other things. So even if you divide 1,800 yourself, it won't be enough......

Well...... Well, it's not supposed to be so full, it's terrible to have 1,800 of yourself or something, please forget about it.

All in all, William's actions are understandable.

He first made contact with the Cheka members operating in the Briton area, after which he ordered them to gather information about the Differential Machine. After this, he strengthened his ties with the alchemist alliance on the mainland, hoping that these bastards would help him. In the end, it is to order through formal channels, hoping that the other party can mercifully sell this major strategic material to itself.

But then again, William feels that the last possibility is actually not low, and it can even be said to be very high. If he were to be asked why, then his answer would be that these guys sent this thing to the World's Fair.

The purpose of the Seventh World's Fair, held in Rotterdam, Frisia, was not unlike the later exposition in addition to showing off the strength and achievements of each country. That's buying and selling.

Each country will come out with its own products, show off and increase the popularity of their own products.

It's like a Briton piece of steel, the latest two-thousand-horsepower steam engine and the large differential machine shown before. Visigothic wines and glassware, while Asturian brought out cocoa, spices, and all sorts of curiosities from the colonies. Kalman IV of the Ostrogothic took out the ...... Well, the chaotic and barren Ostrogothic region really doesn't have anything too decent.

The wines and glassware of Lombardy, the woolen textiles of the Winder - to be precise, the woolen textiles that Sironsk had taken out, and the works of art that Franconia and Lotternia had barely produced were either in conflict with the commodities of other countries, or they had no possibility of being used as commodities - that is, they were not produced in sufficient quantities. In addition, at the previous World's Fair, the Ostrogoths did not participate because they were in the midst of a civil war. Therefore, this further aggravates the impression of the world countries on the scientific desert of Ostrogothic.

Even if Russia's participation allowed the Ostrogothic to earn back a little face, it would not help.

Yes, yes, the Russian kingdom, the Hereford family also took part in the exposition with their "specialties".

It can be said that the specialty of the Russian kingdom is the only thing that adds luster to Ostrogothic and is widely acclaimed.

The first is soybean oil.

Vegetable oil, which is somewhere between lard and olive oil, is an item that touches the hearts of all the bastards who want to cook all over the world. In fact, even without deliberate publicity, soybean oil produced in Russia has become the new favorite of the bulk grain trade. While it brought seasoning to the tables of the nations of mankind, it also brought a great deal of wealth to the Hereford family.

After that, there was the woolen fabric of the Romanov sheep.

Although not as good as Briton, not as good as Asturias, and not as good as the Ottomans. But there is still one thing to praise about Russian wool fabrics, that is, quantity and price.

Although the Hereford family's wool fabric technology is relatively weak because of the textile process and the problem of wool breeds, the quantity and price are quite good. While the merchants of the countries secretly laughed, they also had to admit that this woolen fabric was enough to be sold all over the continent and fight in the middle and low-end markets.

After that, Russia also came up with enough dairy products - cheese, butter. We took out daily necessities, metal utensils, and small goods. Neither can they compare to the best dairy products produced in Frisia, nor do they compare to the finest craft products produced by Britton.

Like wool fabrics, these things can only compete in the mid-to-low-end market at best by virtue of their high quality and low price. However, if there are no high-end supplies to support the façade, they may not be able to make big waves......
