Chapter 556: Mustard Seed World
"It turns out that this kind of packaging technology can even achieve such specific requirements as refrigerators?"
"What do you think Shang Tianjun is like?"
"I thought it would be pretty much the same as being an engine or a battery."
"Yes, that's the role of the mustard circulation generator, which can supply the ship's actions. But it can't be used as a battery, because the fuel for this ship is torch, and the torch is the reward we pay to that 'shipboard mustard world'. The mustard seed circulation generator is the main device for us to interact. That world is covered with ice and snow, and the torch we input is the 'perpetual motion machine' of that world, the inextinguishable beacon, and the foundation of their entire civilization. β
"Good guys, this is indeed a perpetual motion machine, right? Relatively speaking. β
"Of course, after all, there is no energy input from within that world, energy has always been instilled from the top down. So from the perspective of that world alone, it's really a perpetual motion machine for them. Just to keep the perpetual motion machine running, they need to fulfill their agreement with us and exchange their services for fuel. β
"Did we add this setting?"
"No, one of the most important aspects of social engineering is not to sell umbrellas after artificial rainfall. We can't attack them and sell them healing bandages at the same time. Doing so will greatly increase the 'failure rate', and each failure needs to be manually troubled, which is very troublesome. Therefore, ensuring that both sides are cost-effective is an important part of social engineering. β
"Then they really are. I really don't know if it's good luck or bad luck. β
"That world is also a blessed place, because the continuous cold source is not so easy to find, but it is not so comfortable for the people who live in it. But with our help, they can have a good time. Compared to fighting the cold, building a popsicle in the snow and ice is as easy as playing house. Thanks to our help, they can finally take a break from the snow and wind and take care of their lives. β
"Oh, so they set off fireworks to celebrate?"
"In their eyes, we are merciful saviors. In fact, there is no doubt that we are merciful saviors of all tributary nations. Without our protection, there would be no known number of emperors and kings in this worldβit's a bit of a metaphor to say, but that's basically the way the world is. β
"Hmm"
"Shang Tianjun, is your hometown different from ours?"
"It's different." Shang Luo shook his head, "We have an international community over there. And here, it seems that all the tributary states are in contact with the imperial court alone, and they only need to deal with the relationship with the imperial court alone. It's really simple, most tributary states don't have armies, right? β
"There's no army, there's no diplomacy, they just need to keep themselves running, they don't need to think about external affairs. Because in this era of peace in the world, the Son of Heaven, the court, and the king have all covered them. The one who makes the tractor makes the tractor, and the one who grows the banana grows the banana. They only need to deal with the imperial court, there is no need to deal with other countries. β
"By the way, if they deal with it, is it legal?"
"Not legally. Whoever is in the people, there is no diplomacy. The DPRK is an example of this, and the only envoys sent by the DPRK to foreign countries are 'messengers'. As the name suggests, if the two sides have a traditional relationship, North Korea will notify them on red and white ceremonies such as weddings and funerals, which is called 'messengers'. As for the establishment of diplomatic relations, this is simply impossible. North Korea does not have diplomatic relations with Japan, which is next door, and the two sides do not send envoys to each other on a permanent basis. They don't need to, because they all just need to deal with the separate and imperial courts, and there is no need to string each other together. β
"Ah, that makes sense, that makes sense."
"But Shang Tianjun, that little box of yours, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to manage it like this."
"I thought I could learn. Is it not suitable on my side? β
"Because it's too big, it's too complete. Although it is fun to have your own mustard seed world, many monks have it. But the one like yours is too big. Even dragons can be born in it? I don't even know how you can handle it. β
"The one on the ship is actually small, isn't it?"
"I've calculated, but it doesn't add up to the size of Hainan Island, which is considered super large in the known mustard seed world. We don't usually need such a big one, but it's just because we want to drive this battleship that we have sent such a large world over and integrated it with this ship. The Mustard Seed Circulation Generator is the anchor point for both worlds, both as the core of their world's protection against wind and snow, and as the source of power for this ship. So you see, it says engine room, right? In fact, the marine engineering department is the mustard world, and they are in charge. β
"Originally there was no need for someone to manage the engine room on this ship?"
"Well, indeed, but other parts still need to be operated, such as turrets and shells. We're just outsourcing the engine room. β
"Over there, do you need to check it often?"
"No, it's already packaged, and it's okay to overhaul it once in ten or twenty years, and then a minor repair in a few years. If they need it, they will deliver it to them. β
"But what's going on with that, that ball?"
"Hmm," Li Yi shook his head, "That's a god who hasn't been born yet." Because it's something that will happen in the future, I don't know what's going on. But since it was born during the construction process, it must have something to do with that world. Oh yes, that engine room looks like an empty room, but it's actually connected to two worlds. When you turn on the lights, you can see a different world. If you need to overhaul it later, I'll take you to see it again. Shang Tianjun, do you have any other requirements?"
"Three questions. First, my sorbet maker can still be installed, right? β
"No problem, just move one up. Although the location in the mustard seed world is fixed, we can move it casually. β
"The second question is. I saw that the ball was lying on the ground, as if it was prone to catching a cold. Go back and find a small bamboo basket like a kennel, stuff some quilts in it, and put her on top of the mat. It's best to cover it with a quilt. β
"Do you want to mug that ball? Okay, too. What else? β
"Also, can you put me in touch with a little bit of a social engineering professional? I felt the need to bring a group of professionals into my box. It's so convenient to make ice cream, and you can also make soda, right? I'd like to pick up an automatic breakfast machine and bring me boiled eggs every morning. β
