The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 500 Three Years
"Ahui." The boy's voice was hoarse, clearly indicating that he was going through puberty.

The tall, slender girl nodded slightly, a book between her fingers. The lines on the back of her hand were straight, making her appear thin yet strong, with distinct finger bones. Her fingertips seemed to effortlessly lift the thick book.

"You've arrived." The person in front of her glanced at the book in her hand without any surprise.

The girl nodded and naturally sat down opposite her.

It's the same old spot; a row of tables on the second floor of the library has basically become the regular seating for a certain couple.

Time flies, and the past has passed by in a blur of activity. Before we knew it, three years had gone by.

Jiang Hui is already a third-year student. It feels like she started school just yesterday, but in fact, she has already lived through many such days.

Jiang Hui's life over the past two or three years has not been without its ups and downs, but it has been relatively smooth sailing.

A lot happened in her first year here. Her first public appearance, her first injury, her first brush with death, her first acquisition of her own mecha... so many firsts happened in this year. She also gradually integrated from an unknown Blue Star spirit into the interstellar world she now lived in.

A lot happened in the two years that followed. She joined a strange club, made some new friends, and rose from C+ to B+ in the mech pilot community, gradually becoming more involved in the mech pilot profession.

If we're talking about major events in the past few years, the first one is naturally a certain large-scale project in her consciousness space, which is gradually coming to an end. Right now, there's really only one step left, the final step.

Pine Tree is an A-class mecha, but its actual rating should be around A+, making it a high-level mecha with a unique design. Although there was a standard model for her to assemble, due to the special nature of her consciousness space, she had to move and stop frequently within it. It took her more than two years to barely manage to put the entire mecha together.

Jiang Hui couldn't resist getting on the machine to try it out, but unexpectedly, although the assembly looked pretty good, it still had problems in actual operation.

It can move, but when you put it on, it's just like a model mecha. The hands are hands, the feet are feet, and the head is a head, but it has nothing to do with an actual mecha. It doesn't feel like a machine at all when you're controlling it.

This really frustrated Jiang Hui. After racking his brains for many days, he finally figured it out: it was probably a problem with the core engine.

It seems she still needs to study the engine's structure and truly understand the internal structure and circuitry of the mecha engine before she can replicate it in the consciousness space. Otherwise, no matter how closely it is replicated, it will only be an empty shell and will never become real.

It's unbelievable that mech pilots now have to develop their own engines to build mechs. This is truly mind-blowing, whether in the old or new era.

Compared to the tricky consciousness space, things in reality are much smoother. After all, many things can be obtained readily, so there's no need to force oneself to create something from nothing. Even if something can't be found readily, other things can be dismantled for research and modification, which is quite convenient.

In fact, more than half a year before the pine and cypress trees were completed, she had already finished the first D-level humanoid armor she had ever built herself.

Okay, although she assembled it according to the standards and principles of D-class humanoid armor, it looks like a completely different thing.

Jiang Hui dared to say that this was definitely an anomaly among D-grade humanoid armors, differing greatly in both appearance and specifications; it could only be described as a derivative of standard D-grade humanoid armor. However, there was no other way; this thing was almost entirely assembled from discarded mecha parts. Pieces were taken from here and there, and those that couldn't be pieced together were forcibly joined, or modified and installed. If they simply couldn't be connected, mechanical joints were made, and suitable auxiliary parts and connectors were crafted.

It can actually be described as a fully custom-made mecha. Of course, the entire mecha is custom-made using discarded parts she selected.

On the day she finished making this strange creature, she stood in front of it with inexplicably complicated feelings, feeling somewhat uneasy.

This was the first piece of work Jiang Hui created by hand. It was ugly and looked terrible, but it was the thing she had put the most heart and soul into since arriving in interstellar space, and it marked the beginning of her journey into the world of mecha.

Actually, it's alright. She doesn't mind her own child being ugly… Jiang Hui smiled and shook her head, naming him WALL-E. Don't ask her why; the inspiration came from an adorably ugly robot in a space movie she'd seen on Earth. She hoped he would one day become a great hero in some world.

Wally's engine comes from a discarded Class B combat armor. Its standards are far higher than those of a Class D ordinary humanoid armor, making it more than sufficient to serve as its engine.

To accommodate this excessive output, Jiang Hui changed more than ten different lines and even made a small modification to the main line output before he could barely connect it to the machine.

Jiang Hui had tried out this mecha, and could only say it was usable, with quite a few flaws. The overall operation was a bit strange, not as smooth and easy to use as a standard D-class humanoid mecha, but in certain areas it was unusually harmonious and fluid, quite handy. This might be because she subconsciously incorporated many of her ideas and modifications from standard mecha designs when creating it.

Furthermore, since the fuselage is almost entirely made from discarded parts, its battery life, impact resistance, and overall connectivity still need to be tested. Jiang Hui plans to go back and polish it further, adjust any unsuitable parts, and then see if he should send it for certification.

However, this mecha is not mature at all. Many of its data are not up to standard, and it may not pass the pre-certification test. It would just be a waste of money and time. It would be better to keep it and modify it first.

Jiang Hui couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so she temporarily put the mecha into the space button and put it out of her mind.

Besides studying mecha and her major, Jiang Hui has also been absorbing knowledge from various disciplines over the past few years. She has dabbled in individual soldier training, mecha, command, logistics, reconnaissance, and even some miscellaneous military-related subjects.

However, Jiang Hui mostly learns about these non-major subjects by reading books or publicly available professional reports, and only spends more effort to study in depth a few necessary subjects.

After all, time is limited, and she can't afford to lose sight of the essentials and try to become an omniscient genius. She still ate her food one bite at a time; Jiang Hui never forgot that.

Even so, Jiang Hui has been extremely busy these past few years, with very little free time.

Fortunately, Jiang Hui felt that since arriving in the interstellar world, her stress resistance had improved a lot, and she had also developed a habit of feeling uneasy if she didn't read for a day. The more she read, the more excited she became, and the more excited she became, so her life became more and more hectic.

Others treat reading as learning, but she treats it as relaxation, which is really both funny and frustrating.
