The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 388 Mech Joints
Carlo officially began the screening process, so the library was temporarily closed for a period of time, and students were notified to move there at night in the near future.

So at night, it was basically just the three of them in the library, with no one else coming or going. Jiang Hui didn't have to worry about running into other classmates and not being able to explain herself, which would only draw more attention to her.

The main force in this work was, of course, Carlo, while the administrator and Jiang Hui were his assistants.

The former was familiar with the arrangement of all the books in the library, as well as some publishing information and purchase details. Jiang Hui, on the other hand, had a thorough understanding of the general content of these books. With their assistance, Carlo's work progressed much faster, and by the fifth day, the book was almost completely cleared. He estimated that the matter could be concluded tonight.

"Yes, this is it... This author has two books in his series on the main trunk area. Besides this one, I remember there was another one, what was it called again? Yes, this is it."

Jiang Hui silently handed over another book, "The Music of Star World Mechs: Internal Coordination and Form Changes." The other person quickly arranged the related series of books according to their primary and secondary functions, completing the filling of this section.

Looking at the five or six empty rows under the bookshelf, Carlo lamented that Besca Intermediate Academy's book collection was still too small. The quantity was already somewhat inadequate, and now with a large batch cleared out, leaving so much empty space, it would be unacceptable not to purchase new books.

Jiang Hui agreed. She had previously felt that the school's collection, while seemingly large, was actually quite small—although she hadn't been to other schools. However, she frequently visited libraries on the main continent, and apart from the planetary library directly affiliated with the first ring, the other libraries she visited were more than twice as good as the school's, even if the quantity couldn't match the quality.

Although schools and libraries operate under different business models, Beska School did use its library as a selling point during recruitment, claiming it was a "highly accredited library capable of procuring a wide variety of professional books," a feature that stood out among universities. However, it turned out to be just advertising rhetoric; while the library was indeed that large, its collection was lacking in both quantity and content.

Jiang Hui felt that the school's management in this area was indeed inadequate. However, every place has its problems, and it's good to be able to identify and resolve them in a timely manner. Aren't they trying to solve the problem right now? As a student of this school, she had a pretty good impression of the school's atmosphere.

She is also looking forward to cleaning up the other modules next.

Jiang Hui couldn't wait to read the newly acquired books. Although she hadn't yet reached the point of reading through the entire library, and there were still many books waiting for her to devour, naturally, the more the better for her.

"Oh right, I remember there was also a copy of 'The Complete Guide to Mechanical Joints' that's gone? I remember that copy was quite popular." The administrator muttered to himself, searching through the bottom shelf.

Jiang Hui, who was helping Carlo rearrange the books, turned around and then silently raised her hand under their gazes: "Excuse me, I borrowed that one earlier and haven't had time to return it yet."

She had borrowed this book before and was still studying it. However, the content was quite advanced and not something Jiang Hui could currently use, so she only skimmed through it and left it in her dorm, planning to return it along with other things when she had time.

Now that the administrator brought it up, she remembered that there were still a few books related to mecha lying quietly in her dormitory, and it had been more than a month... She guessed she would have to pay some late fees.

"You read that too?" Carlo felt he had already been amazed enough by the other person, so hearing this question didn't bother him much, because the other person had already proven their ability through their actions. This student was truly unpredictable; she looked young, but her reading volume was astonishing. She could basically pick any book here and say something about it. Even if she couldn't understand and apply every single point, she could still rattle off the basic points, even down to the specific arguments and sentences... She did it all with ease—Carlo knew he might not even be able to do that.

Teachers naturally like diligent and talented students.

During the time Jiang Hui helped him select books, he unconsciously taught her a lot, even sharing some experiences and tips that might not be taught in a large class. She didn't disappoint him; she understood almost immediately and didn't need much explanation.

Regardless of their future practical skills, such students already surpass many others in terms of knowledge and a thirst for knowledge. Encountering and teaching such students at Besca Intermediate Academy is indeed much more pleasant than the cutthroat competition at Wanhe Middle School.

Jiang Hui nodded, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "However, I can't understand this book yet. I can only roughly read the first two chapters of the introduction." She had struggled through more than ten pages of this book and could roughly understand some complex theories, but the rest was like a book written in heaven, and she couldn't read it at all.

But she didn't know—

Mechanical joints are among the most complex and intricate parts of a mecha. They are typically located in the mecha's hands, feet, neck, or other flexible areas around the central ring, and are generally used to facilitate the operation of various modules, as well as improve the mecha's speed and agility. It can be said that they are extremely important in the entire mecha structure and cannot be neglected.

However, because they perform multiple functions and come in a wide variety of shapes, the connecting joints for the same function can have tens of thousands of different forms and structures, with no discernible pattern. Mech pilots often have to select the appropriate joint locations based on the mech's actual data.

To ensure the mech is in optimal working order, the pilot may make dozens of adjustments to each key joint during installation until the best combination is found. This process involves infinite possibilities and uncertainties in the combinations, making it the most difficult to control.

Therefore, mechanical joints are an extremely difficult subject for any level of mech pilot. To this day, no mech pilot dares to call himself an expert in this field; anyone who claims to be proficient is a master.

Therefore, this part is also considered one of the three major challenges in building mechs. Many mech pilots learn by following their mentors after entering higher education institutions, and it is almost impossible for them to learn something on their own.

It's normal that Jiang Hui doesn't understand it, because even the third-year students in the mecha department at the school probably haven't been exposed to this kind of content yet.

This kid has some ideas. Carlo didn't dare to take on this challenge at his age, but he actually managed to read through two chapters. Being able to read even the first two chapters of the introduction is already an excellent performance.

However, Carlo didn't want to dampen the boy's enthusiasm, so he changed his approach to a gentler one: "This book is usually provided in the later comprehensive stage. If you want to learn it, you can postpone it for now, solidify your foundation first, and then take it step by step."
