The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 51 Transition (Part 2)

With something to do and a sense of purpose, Jiang Hui's days in the interstellar world went relatively smoothly. She learned a little more about this world each day, running around and filling the empty house, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

And the start of the Beska Intermediate Academy is just around the corner, only a dozen days away.

Following the usual mindset of students on Blue Star, she prepared to purchase her school supplies in advance. However, when she called the college's information office, she was surprised to learn that stationery, books, and daily necessities were all included in the enrollment fees and would be ordered and sent to each new student by the school.

In other words, Jiang Hui only needs to bring her personal computer to the academy to register; she doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Sigh, I don't even need to buy stationery or snacks. This start of the school year is definitely missing out on a lot of fun. Jiang Hui felt a little regretful.

Because the holographic capsule Jiang Hui purchased was out of stock on Planet 732, it needed to be shipped over via interstellar freight. The intelligent system, on the other hand, was purchased from the same brand as the holographic capsule and was delivered together. Therefore, Jiang Hui has not yet received either the intelligent system or the holographic capsule.

She went from initial anticipation to a point of disillusionment and has begun to live her life with a more normal mindset.

Jiang Hui had bought a lot of e-books these past few days, intending to transfer them all to her mental space. However, she still underestimated the deeply ingrained habits of the Earthlings…

These e-books are cheap and easy to buy—just a few taps on the internet—but they are still e-books. The reading experience lacks the tactile feel of physical books, and the overall viewing experience is significantly diminished.

As for novels that she bought specifically to pass the time, they weren't worth reading word by word. The longer she read them, the more carefully she looked at them, and if she even used her brain a little, the more she felt like an idiot for wasting so much time reading such things.

The recommended reading materials from the interstellar people were mostly very difficult to understand, and some of them conveyed ideas that contradicted Jiang Hui's way of thinking, naturally making her dizzy and confused. She quickly gave up on reading such books.

Then there are professional or reference books. These are even worse; she can read them, but the electronic versions reduce her memory and learning efficiency by more than half. Jiang Hui still thinks it's better to read physical copies of these books; otherwise, she might as well watch a video tutorial, where the explanations are clearer.

Therefore, of the nearly one hundred interstellar books that Jiang purchased, only a dozen or so were readable, and almost all of them were history books. For example, "The History of Interstellar Evolution," "Human Prehistoric Migration: From the Mother Planet to the Nebula," "Ninety-Nine Famous Battles," and "From the Ninth Star Era," etc., which were books about human development and the history of war, were all read with great interest by Jiang Hui.

This mental space added several times more valuable books. With this knowledge of star history, Jiang Hui felt much more secure living in this world, and his mind was at ease.

As for buying physical books to read, Jiang Hui hadn't even considered it. Those kinds of books are now high-priced works, each costing many times their original value. They're only suitable for scholars who need to study physical books.

If Jiang Hui didn't have a mental space, buying a dozen or twenty books to study her major might be somewhat worthwhile. But since she has this strange mental space, buying books has become a waste—a waste of both money and time. So, after much searching and research, Jiang Hui finally found a compromise: going to the city center's book museum to read physical books. Then, the books she accumulates through reading can materialize in her mental space, which she can then read later.

So in the days leading up to the arrival of the holographic capsule, Jiang Hui spent his time at the Book Museum in the city center's First Ring Road area, often for an entire day.

She went out today, but not to the book museum; she planned to attend a hands-on mecha-making workshop.

This is strange... Jiang Hui hasn't even received the holographic capsule yet, and apart from the occasional flying one, she hasn't been in contact with any mecha-related things these days. Why would she suddenly want to attend a mecha-making course? This all started from that day at the book museum.

The Book Museum is not a library, but rather a museum. It houses many famous and selected books from human history, and most of them are available for browsing.

The museum is divided into a main building and subsidiary buildings.

If we had to categorize it, the main building of the book museum is the kind of museum people typically think of. It houses a collection of original paper books, all of which are rare, out-of-print books that the museum acquired through auctions. These original books are naturally not for visitors to handle and browse; they are only for viewing, and there are also simulated page turners available for visitors to use.

The museum is divided into two parts. One part is the commercial area, such as the leisure area and the main shops selling surrounding products. These are all directly affiliated with the museum.

The other part was Jiang Hui's usual destination: the library's record room. This record room wasn't limited to the main library's books; it contained all sorts of books, whose copyrights had been purchased and printed for public viewing. This part was more like a library, except that a membership was required for entry. Jiang Hui initially bought a one-month membership to check out the books; if she found them useful, she would renew for a longer period.

She finished her "scanning" task early that day and was a little tired. Thinking that she hadn't been to the other side of the building for days, she decided to go there for a look.

It's surprising that this system has even been applied to interstellar travel. This shows that no matter how much humanity develops, it still has its own set of rules. Many things are just variations on the same theme and may not change even after millions of years.

To be honest, the gadgets made by interstellar high technology are naturally more interesting than industrial products on Earth. However, they are probably just a waste of money for interstellar people who are used to seeing the same things. Jiang Hui just decided to take a look.

There was a well-reviewed dim sum restaurant next door, and Jiang Hui was planning to walk there to get something to eat when she was attracted by a giant poster on the wall next to it.

The poster featured a large number of cool and uniquely designed mechas, layered and stacked to fill the entire poster, creating a spectacular sight. Only the empty space in the middle was filled with two large headlines: "Handmade Mecha Experience Class, Jointly Sponsored by Dongbo Group & Book Museum..."
