The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 382 Questions
What a coincidence, you look familiar to me too.

This isn't... this isn't that person... Jiang Hui remembered. She thought she had seen this person not long after she arrived in interstellar space, which is why he looked familiar just now.

Isn't this the teacher she met in the hands-on mecha experience class?! The teacher even gave her some pointers back then, but too many things happened afterward, and Jiang Hui hadn't thought about it since.

Seeing that face again immediately triggered her dormant memories. Jiang Hui remembered that this was the teacher who had explained the assembly of the mecha model to everyone present. He seemed to be an intermediate mecha engineer.

But she remembered that the other person was from Wanhe Middle School, so why was he at their school? Today should be a school day, and Besca Intermediate Academy is usually very strict in its management, so it's unlikely that teachers and students from other schools would be allowed to enter the campus at will.

Upon seeing the nameplate on the other person's chest that clearly bore the emblem of Beska Intermediate Academy, Jiang Hui quickly made a guess: Could this person already be a teacher at their school?

Carlo also felt that the student looked familiar. At first glance, he didn't realize it, but then a vague sense of familiarity lingered, making him wonder where he had seen this student before.

This Mr. Carlo was a well-known figure even in the central sector; usually, people would vie to see him. Now, with any questions he had, he asked them openly and frankly, without any ambiguity.

“Teacher, if you attended the hands-on class at Dongbo Group before the start of the semester, then we did see it,” Jiang Hui replied.

Dongbo Group? Hands-on class? The implication is clear; without a doubt, it points to an event.

It wasn't a grand event; in fact, it was rather small, and it was even arranged by the Wanhe Middle School group to deliberately humiliate him. But what happened that day left a deep impression on Carlo, one he still remembers to this day.

And it was precisely because of what happened that day that the next few months were anything but peaceful for Star 732 and even the resident star system. The rebels caused trouble in the resident star system as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, causing endless trouble for the authorities.

Carlo looked Jiang Hui up and down, before finally managing to dig out a very faint memory from the corner of his mind.

No wonder he felt the other person looked somewhat familiar yet not quite real; it turned out they had only met once before… He thought this young student was quite capable back then and even gave him a few pointers. He never expected to run into him again so many days later.

"It's you, young student. So you're a student at the intermediate academy. You just enrolled this year?" Carlo is now a teacher at Besca Intermediate Academy, and the other person can be considered his student. It's fate, so he casually asked.

Jiang Hui nodded: "The student is a first-year student."

The other person looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, which was indeed a good age to enroll in the intermediate academy. Carlo had looked at the roster for the mecha department, and most of them were around that age, or even a bit older.

At this moment, Carlo hadn't considered the possibility that Jiang Hui might not be a mecha student. Because their first meeting was during a hands-on class, he had a preconceived notion and naturally assumed Jiang Hui was a mecha student. "What book are you here to borrow? If you're looking for it in the mecha section, it would be better to wait a few days, as the selection might be a bit limited these days." More importantly, Carlo didn't want these students to continue borrowing reference books with obvious fundamental errors without fully understanding the material.

Mecha manufacturing is a highly specialized discipline, requiring learners to have a solid foundation and extensive experience. It is also a typical profession that demands high levels of mental strength. Almost everyone in this field possesses a certain level of mental strength and power.

This technically demanding discipline isn't something just anyone can learn. A suitable teacher, extensive reading, and the ability to apply knowledge to new situations are all essential. Many people can't even get past the initial hurdles before having to abandon their ambition to explore this field, accepting that becoming a mecha pilot isn't something just anyone can do.

A weak foundation or numerous errors are a major taboo in mecha manufacturing. This is because a mecha is an "extraordinary combination" made up of countless basic modules pieced together; no matter how powerful it is, it still starts from the basics.

Therefore, if the manufacturer misunderstands a certain point of knowledge or fails to grasp its essence, it could lead to a series of errors. On a larger scale, this could be fatal in the assembly of mechs.

Carlo always taught his students to build a solid foundation, to correct mistakes, and never to become arrogant and complacent by working in isolation. In Carlo's view, books with erroneous versions or containing outdated technology were simply a malignant tumor that hindered students' learning and had to be dealt with immediately without delay.

Although he was advising Jiang Hui, the tone of his statement was slightly harsh, making it sound like he was giving a command.

Fortunately, Jiang Hui didn't seem to care too much about it. She simply shook her head and said honestly, "No, it's this. I don't know which classmate accidentally put it somewhere else, and I was worried that other people wouldn't be able to find it, so I just brought it over." She pointed to the large book that had just been put back in its place.

She had already thoroughly explored the mecha section. This was the area she initially "conquered," but unfortunately, there wasn't much useful information. Some things were completely incomprehensible to someone like her with zero knowledge, and the direction was also different, so she stopped browsing it much afterward.

It turns out it was misclassified. No wonder he searched for so long and couldn't find it, and there was no record of it being borrowed in the system.

Carlo relaxed his brow and said, "Thank you, I was just looking for it." He glanced at the number on the book, raised an eyebrow, and realized that this was a rare, out-of-print edition, one of the best versions of it.

Due to some controversial issues, the original author made some cuts, and subsequent editions became increasingly simplified, making them less user-friendly. This edition is the best one selected by Tarot after studying more than a dozen previous versions; it's also the one he uses at home.

This is actually a blessing in disguise for the library's management here. Although there are many erroneous versions and quite a few misleading and rubbish books have been unearthed, there are currently dozens of rare and out-of-print books on the market, and some of them require participation in small auctions to purchase.

With proper management, Besca Intermediate Academy's library will undoubtedly be no worse than those of other high schools, and may even surpass them. Carlo was confident that he could help the students of Besca Intermediate Academy in this regard—it only required a few small changes.
