chapter 41
41 – sleeping
As expected, figuring out the fix wasn’t easy.
I managed to somehow open it up and take a look at the internal structure, but the circuit is too complex and it is difficult to understand the structure and principle.
So I used a cheat key called ‘Engineering Thinking’ to analyze him.
This skill is an open fire skill that allows you to understand engineering knowledge just by observing the target with your eyes.
But maybe it was because of the lack of level, even that didn’t work.
The ‘engineering mind’ of level 3 is still incomprehensible to the complex CPU of the fix.
‘Let’s do it slowly.’
So, I decided to hold off on researching Pix.
First of all, I plan to save up money for the air conditioner subscription fee, and then get the ‘Emarald Mana Stone’ mined in the Dwarven United Kingdom.
If you develop it step by step from a primitive computer, you might be able to find the answer.
As a result of opening Pix’s pot, Pix’s CPU was made of a different material than Earth’s CPU.
As I expected, he used emerald mana stones.
Then, why were CPUs in this world made of emerald mana stones?
The reason is that, unlike normal mana stones, emerald mana stones can be miniaturized in nano units.
In other words, while normal mana stones lose their ability to contain mana if they are extremely finely chopped, emerald mana stones can contain mana even when split into powder units.
In other words, this means that equipment can be miniaturized.
Even if you put in a very small amount of mana stones, mana would be able to flow.
‘This is not the end.’
In addition, when the emerald mana stone is specially processed, the amount of mana it can contain can be controlled.
In other words, if you process it so that it can hold up to 50 mana, you can only store as much as 50 mana.
Then, what would happen if we allowed only 1 mana to be stored here?
Then, when it contains mana, it becomes 1, and when it does not contain mana, it becomes 0.
In other words, the binary method can be expressed by the presence or absence of mana.
In this way, the emerald mana stone that can switch between 0 and 1 can be used like a ‘transistor’.
And if you collect several of these transistors and make them capable of performing specific operations, it becomes a ‘logic circuit’.
It is possible to make the arithmetic logic unit, which is the basis of the CPU.
‘Well, it won’t be an easy task.’
The problem is that the CPU has a device that can switch 0 and 1. That is, there are billions of transistors in it.
In order to reproduce the modern CPU, it is necessary to break the emerald mana stone into smaller pieces than fine dust, and then process it so that it can contain only 1 mana.
Because when you collect billions of these and fix them on a device the size of your fingernails, the modern CPU can be born.
I can only admire Sam Soong’s technological prowess in making such crazy semiconductors.
“It looks like it will be a pretty long-term project.”
As a result, the grand plan of making a ‘computer’ must be looked at for a long time.
This is because what I have been thinking about until now is only the hardware design of the CPU, and I have not even thought about the software design of the CPU yet.
For example, various types of registers that help CPU arithmetic.
Or cache memory and RAM to store the instructions processed by the CPU, a compiler that converts coded language into assembly language, an assembler that converts assembly language into machine code made up of 0s and 1s, and so on.
There are a couple of things to consider in terms of software as well.
“… the conclusion is that we need to raise the level more.”
In order to understand and create such a complex structure, the level of ‘engineering thinking’ must be raised.
The higher the level of engineering thinking, the more advanced structures can be understood.
“When the hand skill level goes up… what will happen?”
But what if the hand skill level goes up?
‘Fix’ was obtained the moment the hand technique skill level reached 3.
If so, when the skill level reaches 4, can I get another guy like Pix?
Maybe the fix will be upgraded a bit more.
It is currently in the form of a robot arm, but will it evolve into a humanoid robot when it reaches level 4?
Well, in the end, that’s what you’ll find out.
For now, you can save up money to buy emerald mana stones and continue to upgrade your suit.
After all, if I do my job like that, the level of hand skills and engineering thinking will rise by itself.

“Keuuu”
Wednesday 3rd period.
Enya was glaring in my direction, anguished.
It’s not that it’s not, it’s because you weren’t chosen as a partner for the practice class.
“Huh, commoner. It was randomly selected, but the two of us are partners. Is it fate?”
And, of course, Isabella was chosen as my partner.
So Enya had no choice but to stare at this place with such an annoyed face.
“Okay then we’re going to practice the combat sleep method. As announced earlier, if you can put your partner to sleep within 15 minutes, you will pass.”
At that time, the instructor announced the instructions and drew everyone’s attention.
Then Enya, who had been looking at this place with an unfair expression the whole time, and Isabella, who had been laughing at me, focused on the instructor’s words.
Soon after, the instructor began to explain.
“If you listened to the class well, you could easily succeed, but since it’s your first practice, I’ll just point out one more point. Now – First of all, sound blocking. There is no need to use complex spells, just turn on the device that each person gave you and the sound in a radius of 2m will be blocked.”
blocking of sound.
In other words, they block out the noise to put their partner to sleep.
The class the instructor is teaching now is ‘how to get a good night’s sleep during the war’.
“Once the sound is blocked, the next step is image association…”
The next step is image association.
It literally evokes an image.
Mainly as a static image that can give peace to the mind.
For example, the slow waves on the white sandy beach.
Or you can follow a leaf blown away by the gentle wind, or you can look up at a slowly flowing cumulus cloud.
Whichever one you choose, all you have to do is help them conjure up as many static images as possible, lowering your partner’s heart rate and breathing rate.
“And then…”
Next is ‘Mana Inhalation’.
In other words, it is to release the tense muscles with mana conversion.
It keeps talking to you so that you can think of an image, and uses the ‘mana suction device’ to drain the mana that has permeated your muscles.
This will completely release the tension in your body.
“Okay then, let’s time it now. The time limit is 15 minutes. If you can put your partner to bed within 15 minutes, you pass. start!”
The instructor announces the start and presses the button on the timer.
I saw Isabella staring at me as she lay on the bed.
Will this sleep method work for her?
Isabella smiled and said, as if she had read my thoughts.
“Looks like you barely noticed. I don’t go through that.”
“…”
Of course you will.
Because Isabella can’t fall asleep in the usual way.
It is also true that Isabella is controlling her ‘negative feelings’.
Then, it fights by processing it into a curse and inflicting mental damage on the opponent.
Because of this, if you can’t control these negative emotions, you are the one who gets hit.
You have to live with the awareness that there is a bomb in your head.
“Well. Still, you have to try.”
However, I blocked the sound in a radius of 2 m by pressing the device.
In an instant, we were separated from the noise outside, giving the illusion that only she and I were left in the world.
“I’m good at putting people to sleep.”
I have already put Isabella to sleep.
By the time El Pandor Runeterra’s retry count exceeds 60.
When I reached the very end of the game with Isabella’s route, I would often sleep with her.
And each time, Isabella begged her to put her to bed.
Thanks to that, you already know how to put her to sleep.
“It’s fun. I’ll look forward to it.”
Maybe that’s why Isabella’s face at that time suddenly overlapped with Isabella’s face lying down.
Her face looking at me and smiling sadly.
Her lines suddenly flickered before my eyes.
‘It’s fine. Even if it kills me.’
“Go to the side.”
Maybe that’s why, without even realizing it, I took an unexpected action.
He asked for a seat on the bed.
Isabella said with a puzzled face.
“Hey, sideways? Will you lie down too?”
“…”
In an instant, numerous thoughts ran through my mind.
The Isabella of that time and the Isabella of today are completely different people, so why did they say this?
The moment I spit it out, I immediately regretted it.
“Yes. I will lie down too.”
However, it was impossible to pick up the spilled water again.
I just have to try to fix it as best I can.
“Who are you lying down? together?”
Isabella’s expression was uncharacteristically shy.
Well, it’s embarrassing because no one would have tried to lie in the same bed as you.
Moreover, lying in the same bed with a man of the same age would be very suggestive.
So I opened my mouth with a calm expression, as if it was no big deal.
“···Yes. There are studies like that. Primates feel more secure when they have a trusted relative around them.”
Of course it’s gurada.
It’s a lie I made up on the fly.
But fortunately, Isabella seems to have decided to go overboard.
I saw her eyes widen in arcs.
“Pu-sup… is that so? Also you are funny To say that he would sleep with the Grand Duchess casually. If it was another man, he would have been torn by me long ago.”
“…”
probably sincere
Isabella is extremely reluctant to allow others to come into contact with her.
“But I think you will be fine. To be honest, you look a little It’s fun too.”
Isabella said so and moved away.
I opened my mouth and hit the place to lie down.
“I’ll look forward to it. I really wonder if you can put me to bed.”
Isabella’s face was full of mischief.
He looked at me with curious eyes, sparkling purple eyes.
-Sue.
Eventually, I took a deep breath and climbed onto the bed.
Soon we were facing each other, close enough that we could hear breathing.
If I stretched out my hand right away, I could touch her face.
‘Don’t love me.’
However, the memories of the previous episode came flooding back.
The Isabella route, which always ended with her death.
Why do the feelings of that time keep coming back?
The memory of just coming into contact with the game as a means was as vivid as the reality I experienced.
“·····commons?”
Then, she called me.
Memories of the past were scattered in an instant, and the face of the present filled my eyes.
“What are you worried about? Your expression looks serious.”
Maybe it’s because I keep looking at her from the previous episode?
It seems that the facial expressions are somewhat out of control.
He answered her with a smile.
“Yes. I wondered what would happen if I didn’t pass the practice test.”
“Puff. What, was it like that?”
Isabella accepted my joke with a small smile.
She said.
“So, what are you going to do now?”
“····Well. I’m thinking about it.”
I did it once, but I was hesitant to do it.
This is because there is no choice but to have physical contact to properly put Isabella to sleep.
They haven’t built up their emotions properly like in the previous episode, and they’re just getting to know each other, so should they allow their bodies to touch each other?
It’s not like you’re tearing up after saying the wrong thing for no reason, right?
“Hey, there might be a little physical contact, is that okay?”
But what do you do if you’re worried?
just ran out
Silently holding her breath, she waited for Isabella’s reaction.
“If you do that, can you put me to sleep?”
Fortunately, she was in a mood to get over it this time as well.
replied with a smile.
“Maybe.”
“…”
Isabella’s eyes, lost in thought.
Then, her cheeks turned red.
he even told me
“Poetry, how much physical contact is there?”
“…”
This feeling was new.
That Isabella was so shy.
Perhaps because it was the beginning of the game, she was still immature.
“Um… just hugging from behind. But there’s nothing strange about it. You can think of it as part of a therapy to treat sleep imbalance.”
“… Hmm.”
part of therapy.
Saying that, Isabella nodded.
Poof- she said, turning her back.
“I heard about you from the butler, Bilson. The fact that I gave you a cold wind… That’s how I developed ‘Graham’s North Wind’. so you’re fine My family is going to invite you too… I like you too… I just assume there’s a teddy bear behind you.”
He is pretending to be calm, but he can clearly feel the trembling voice.
She was the one who gave numerous reasons for just one hug.
Isabella’s red-hot ears looked especially cute.
“Hmm. Then we will begin.”
Still, I was trembling as well.
It’s the first time I’ve actually hugged her.
-Sue.
But there was no clumsiness in my movements.

Like an old habit, he stuck behind Isabella in a familiar position and wrapped one arm around her waist.
Then Isabella’s body flinched and reacted unexpectedly.
“Heeep!”
