Chapter 454 Laptop
After Ying boarded the Death Star and headed for Inazuma, Liyue Harbor was as peaceful as usual.
As for Yaedo, before leaving, the pink-haired fox handed over the Yaedo Liyue branch to a trusted editor, so Yaedo continued to operate in an orderly manner.
It was the pink-haired fox who specially opened up the channel. Even though Inazuma was still in a state of isolation, the light novels of Yaedo could be smoothly transported to the branch, usually mixed in with other supplies.
After all, only the most popular light novels need to be transported, and only one copy is needed, so we can just copy it when we arrive in Liyue.
Liu Bai, who did not go to Inazuma with them, lived a fulfilling life every day. Although he occasionally felt bored because of the repetitive life, he could still watch a play as entertainment.
And every day when I came home and saw Nashida welcoming me, my mood immediately improved.
It is worth mentioning that since Nashida built a laboratory in the basement of her home, she has come up with several easy-to-implement technologies and sent them back to Xumi to provide to the Ministry of Education.
She also made some simple arrangements at home, and now all the rooms are equipped with switches at the door and bedside that can be used to turn on the lights with a slight press.
In addition, she also laid a layer of panels on the roof that can absorb solar energy and convert it into electricity to collect energy.
Although she herself has enough energy, she wants to test the feasibility and efficiency of the technology.
Among the technologies obtained from Liu Bai, Nashida discovered a very clever technology for utilizing electrical energy.
You know, few people in Teyvat regard electricity as an energy source. One reason is that they think electricity is too dangerous. This is the main point of view of the scholars of the Elemental Theory. After all, strong electric current can indeed kill a human being the moment it is touched, which is even more terrifying than the rich elemental force.
The second is that electricity is underestimated. Electricity belongs to the category of manifestation of thunder elemental force, but it does not completely represent thunder elemental force. It has long been considered to be inefficient.
Due to these reasons, the main energy sources of Teyvat for a long time have only been compensatory mixed energy, phlogiston, elemental force, abyss force, etc., and electricity has never been among them.
However, Nashida discovered an overlooked issue, which is the ease of obtaining electricity.
Among conventional energy sources, elemental power is something that ordinary people cannot control or generate in their lifetime. They can only look for objects that naturally possess elemental power to act as "batteries" or directly draw elemental power from the earth veins.
Electricity, on the other hand, can be easily obtained from most places; even basking in the sun can absorb the energy of light.
Of course, you need to have the corresponding technology first, and coincidentally, Nashida has both...
"Girl, please rub a notebook for me! Please!"
Seeing Nashida storing electricity and renovating her home, and creating various home appliances according to the few words Liu Bai had said, Liu Bai couldn't help but hug Nashida and make a request to her.
"Don't you have a notebook?"
Nashida pushed away Liu Bai who was sticking to her face and looked at her with some confusion.
"I want a laptop..."
Liu Bai held Nashida's hand tightly and refused to let go while explaining.
"Computer? Tell me what it looks like, and I'll help you think of a solution."
Nashida tilted her head and had to ask Liu Bai for the specific details.
"Okay, girl, listen to me..."
Liu Bai nodded immediately and described to Nashida what the computer looked like.
Of course he didn't understand computer technology, so he could only describe its appearance and functions to Nashida.
"Well, it's just that the void can simulate the operating system feedback you need, but the programs you described can't be generated out of thin air. You can't play games or watch movies if you want."
After listening to Liu Bai's description of the laptop, although some of the strange terms were difficult to understand, Nashida still understood the overall meaning and answered.
The games that Liu Bai wants to play and the applications that he wants to watch videos on all need to be created by humans.
"Hey... that's not impossible. I can type on the computer."
Liu Bai was a little disappointed when he heard that he couldn’t play games or watch videos, but he still wanted to play some of it.
"This is also very simple. After all, the void supports uploading data."
Nashida nodded. If that was the only requirement, it would be quite simple.
For her, who possesses the ability of "dream embodiment", the most difficult problem in creating an object is to think of it first and understand its structure. The problem of materials is not a difficult problem because dream embodiment can materialize objects that can only exist in dreams, that is, she can also create materials that cannot be manufactured in reality.
In this way, according to Liu Bai's request, Nashida tried to make a laptop computer, or more precisely, an enhanced version of the void terminal.
It uses Nashida as the signal center, connecting to the earth veins and remotely connecting to the void.
The appearance is exactly as Liu Bai said. The designs of the flip cover, keyboard, screen, etc. are all according to Liu Bai's description, and he was asked to experience it personally to confirm whether the feel and size are consistent.
After spending several days and making dozens of improvements, a laptop that looked exactly like what Liu Bai had imagined appeared in front of him.
Since Liu Bai has only used gaming laptops and never a work laptop, this laptop is relatively thick and heavy, even though it does not support gaming.
After getting the notebook, Liu Bai couldn't wait to start typing, while Nashida directly called the void's data input program to achieve it.
'zhijiannaxidajiangliubaibizhiqiangjiao……'
"Um……?"
'wocao?'
Liu Bai was very familiar with the keyboard. Even though he hadn't touched it for many years, as soon as he touched it, he remembered how to press the buttons. He typed a paragraph subconsciously, and then looked at the content displayed on the screen and was a little confused.
"Girl, how can I input without an input method?"
Finding that he could only type the letters on the keyboard, Liu Bai couldn't help scratching his head and looked at Nashida beside him in confusion.
"I don't know either. I asked you before what the symbols on the keyboard were for, and you said we'd know once we made it."
Nashida could only speak with an innocent expression.
“I-I see…”
Liu Bai scratched his cheek awkwardly.
In this way, it took Liu Bai a few more days to teach Nashida the relationship between the letters on the keyboard and the pinyin.
According to the ideas provided by Liu Bai, Nashida matched pinyin with different characters and quickly sorted out an input method that met Liu Bai's requirements. The disadvantage was that only one character could be input at a time.
However, according to the suggestions provided by Liu Bai after actual experience, Nashida quickly updated and iterated it.
After a few more days, it was no longer much different from the input method Liu Bai had used. At most, it would not automatically synchronize popular Internet vocabulary. After all, there was no Internet in Teyvat.
