The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 480 Construction (Part 2)

Herrera seemed to remember Jiang Hui, and surprisingly, he greeted Jiang Hui very generously, his attitude appearing quite humble. The arrogance he had shown last time had almost completely disappeared.

If he had acted this way last time, he wouldn't have been so disliked... Kid, wouldn't it have been better if you had acted this way earlier?
The other one was someone I didn't recognize. She introduced herself as Ximichi, and from her appearance, she seemed like a very reliable older sister. Well, she was indeed older than them, a third-year student.

Apart from her, the other two were first-year students, and standing next to this older sister, their demeanor could be described as youthful and inexperienced.

But it doesn't matter, the three of them are just novices in front of Carlo, so none of them should look down on the others.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Carlo greeted the other two as usual, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Since you're all here, you probably already know what we're here for, right? Relax, this isn't some important exam, just a quiz. You won't lose points whether you do well or poorly. If you perform unexpectedly well, I might even earn you a few credits and personal points. It's not as much as a formal exam, but it's still an opportunity."

After asking the group members for their opinions and confirming that no one had any objections, Carlo then officially got down to business.

Actually, the small quiz that Carlo gave to Jiang Hui and the others today wasn't exclusive to them. At the same time, or even in the same building, several other teachers were probably conducting similar small-scale quizzes. And those who can initiate such quizzes are generally mid-to-senior level teachers/instructors with technical skills.

Rather than a test, it was more like giving extra help—selecting the top performers from a group of high-achieving students and then evaluating them. If they performed well enough, they might even have the opportunity to be accepted as regular students by the teachers. Many students of mid- to senior-level teachers in the grade were selected in this way.

Therefore, this kind of quiz is also called a "preliminary test".

Of course, as mentioned earlier, Carlo is not keen on taking on direct disciples. He prefers to share his knowledge with the world and let more people understand his philosophy, which means he will not spend too much time on any one person.

Jiang Hui and his group were more there to attend a class than to take a test; it was just a different teaching method.

"You've been studying mecha manufacturing for a while now..." He paused, lingering on Jiang Hui for a moment before saying more: "With your level, testing your basic knowledge is useless; it won't differentiate you. Coincidentally, some friends in the capital were chatting and mentioned that a popular game has recently come out there, which is perfect for mecha pilots to practice with. You can give it a try."

These words immediately drew the attention of the group. What game? It seemed to be a game tailor-made for mecha pilots...? Hard to imagine.

Carlo didn't say much, and handed each person a card-like object. The front was a dark gold pattern, with a few words vaguely visible but unclear, and the back looked like gibberish, which was probably an ID or password.

Carlo indicated that he should briefly connect the card to the optical computer, and then the relevant data would be directly connected to the optical computer through the port and enter the corresponding interface. Without this card, they would not be able to access the interface.

The two obediently and trustingly did as instructed, but Jiang Hui hesitated and stopped instead.

It wasn't that she didn't know how to do it, but rather that she was hesitant to act rashly. She knew that there were many technologies in interstellar space that Earthlings couldn't comprehend, and this non-contact external connector was one such example. But it was precisely this convenience and advancement that made her even more wary. This thing could connect to a computer and redirect to a website via external void contact in an instant, so it wouldn't be surprising if it used that opportunity to install some program or virus.

Jiang Hui didn't doubt Carlo's character; on the contrary, she trusted Carlo. However, she didn't trust something of unknown origin and uncertainty. Jiang Hui preferred to have everything under her own control.

"What? Afraid I'll lie to you?" Carlo couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Hui shook her head.

"Don't worry about that. This is a military product. The back has the military region number and production batch number noted on it. You can find all of this on the official website. It's a military product, so there's almost no risk involved."

Carlo shook his head with amusement and patted the top of her head: "Children shouldn't think so much, but it's also good that they don't have this awareness..."

"However, these types of connectors are indeed somewhat dangerous. But it also depends on where they are made. These kinds are subject to restrictions and regulations. If you are interested, I can tell you about them later."

Jiang Hui nodded, and then the interface of the quantum computer quickly peeled back to its original state, gradually darkening until a login screen appeared. They entered the invitation code on the card and logged in.

It really has a game-like interface.

Jiang Hui stared dumbfounded at the webpage that looked exactly like one of those 4XX9 games she used to play as a child. Okay, she admitted that the graphics, production quality, and technology were far superior. Even if it wasn't holographic, it at least had a 4D feel to it, but what did this thing have to do with mecha?
"Please select the materials needed for the standard humanoid armor on the sorting conveyor belt. There is a time limit of 15 stars. If the error rate is higher than 20% or the repetition rate is higher than 35%, this round of selection will be invalid." The system's mechanical voice came from the screen.

Before they could react, the conveyor belt spun out the first item. Jiang Hui recognized it as the inner compartment of a standard humanoid armor, perfectly matching the description. Without bothering to figure out what it was, she quickly selected it and sent it to the interface below.

Then, the mecha parts that came out along the conveyor belt seemed to give them very little time. One appeared at a time, one appeared in an instant, leaving them overwhelmed and dazzled.

They had time to analyze the parts but not enough time to consider the matching. Even if they could barely consider the matching, they couldn't guarantee that their choices wouldn't be duplicates... It was all very chaotic, and even Jiang Hui, who had an excellent memory, was overwhelmed by it.

The other two were even worse off. For the first time, they realized that their supposedly solid foundation wasn't so impressive after all, and they were all caught off guard by the ensuing chaos.

Carlo stood behind the three with his arms crossed, watching them gradually get into the swing of things amidst the chaos and slowly find their own rhythm.

However, the group was unaware that the test had only just begun; this was merely the ticket to the game.
