Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

However, what he didn't expect was yet to come. As the white coat unfolded, another object wrapped in it also fell lightly to the ground - it was an eye mask like the ones used in masquerade balls, except that this eye mask was pure white, with only patterns around the eye sockets like black-framed glasses, which looked very strange.

A white coat and black-framed glasses, right? What kind of sect are you from?

Ai Yue silently picked up the blindfold and put it on his face, his desire to complain growing stronger.

He began to doubt what the true face of this sect was. Wouldn't he go in and see a blackboard full of formulas and codes?

Please, give it some religious organization vibe!

"Stop being in a daze and go."

Ai Yue was still in a daze, but Mebius poked him and said, "Someone seems to be coming out from the other side. Is he the one who will pick us up that Eden mentioned?"

Ai Yue subconsciously glanced at Mebius, and then revealed a somewhat subtle expression - the other party had changed his height and body shape at this moment, and even his waist-length wavy hair had become shoulder-length short hair. It could be said that he had become a different person.

Aren't you very excited?

But now is not the time to complain about this matter, because a person dressed similarly to them did come out from the building opposite. Judging from the exposed physical characteristics, the other person is a woman around thirty years old.

"You are the newcomers that Eden mentioned, right?"

The other party walked up to Ai Yue and the others and asked directly, "Have you understood the specific situation?"

"Understood,"

Ai Yue nodded, and then wanted to introduce himself, "My name is..."

"The name is not important. If you can truly pass the test of initiation, you will have your own number."

The other person pointed to the sign hanging on his chest, which read "096". "Everyone in the sect addresses each other by numbers, so don't worry about your identity."

Ai Yue nodded to show his understanding.

This method is quite good. It can be said that it has basically reduced the gap that may be caused by identity to the lowest level. Combined with the white coat and mask, it can at least be seen that the founder of the sect really wants to create an environment where everyone is equal.

As for whether this is effective, it is hard to say. After all, if people want to compete, they will always find a way.

The two of them quickly walked into the building under the guidance of 096. Only Ai Yue looked up before that with a puzzled expression.

He felt that this place looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The structure inside the building was not complicated. After entering the gate and passing through a lobby, the three people came to an auditorium. In this spacious space, there were countless people dressed exactly like Ai Yue and his friends - as well as countless blackboards.

Very good, exactly as I thought.

Ai Yue shook his head slightly, not at all surprised by this scene. Then he felt Mebius tug at his sleeve: "Look over there."

He looked in the direction indicated by Mebius and found a statue more than three meters high standing on the north side of the auditorium.

It was a pure white statue of a man wearing a white coat. There were no details on his face, but he wore a pair of black-framed glasses. Judging from his hairstyle, he should be a young man.

This is indeed the case - if Ai Yue was not mistaken, the discovery was basically the same as his.

It seems the case has been solved.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is incredible."

Mebius lowered his voice and said in a sarcastic tone, "The great Dr. Ai Yue, a genius unparalleled in human history, how does it feel to see yourself being worshipped like a god?"

"What on earth are they thinking?"

Ai Yue looked helpless, "Can't I just focus on scientific research?"

"Okay, both of you, come over here."

096 on the other side also called them over at this time, "As long as you can complete your three questions, you will be successfully admitted to the sect."

"Is it so concise?"

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment. "It doesn't sound like a sect, but more like a gathering of fellow enthusiasts."

"Actually, it's pretty much the same. After all, this isn't a very strict organization."

096 smiled and said, "We all came here with the same idea. Your willingness to come already meets the most basic requirements."

"The same philosophy?"

Ai Yue asked, "What concept?"

“Knowledge should be shared.”

096 pointed in the direction of the statue and said, "That is the faith conveyed by the gods we believe in."

In front of the sculpture, there is a blackboard that appears more conspicuous than the others. There is nothing around it, as if it is showing some special status.

Ai Yue and Mebius walked over, and the moment they saw the contents on the blackboard clearly, they couldn't help but reveal subtle expressions.

There were three questions written on it - the same three questions that Ai Yue had published at the science and technology exchange conference.

21

Chapter 21: Are you using this to test your cadres?

“It’s this.”

When Ai Yue saw what was written on the blackboard, he couldn't help but reveal a strange expression: "I thought they had been dealt with long ago."

"They've certainly been solved, but their very existence represents a certain concept."

096 said, "Since you are all scholars, it is impossible that you don't understand the significance of this knowledge. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever been so generous as to share this level of knowledge for free."

"That's true."

Mebius nodded. "It's hard for me to imagine that someone would do such a thing."

While speaking, she did not forget to glance at Ai Yue next to her - at first, she actually did not approve of Ai Yue's behavior. After all, knowledge that is easily obtained may not be cherished. What's more, if this knowledge is mastered by people with ulterior motives, it can easily lead to disaster.

However, it turned out that Mebius was worrying too much, because from the time this knowledge was spread to the present, no one has used these things to do evil - after all, for most people, seeing does not mean understanding, and understanding does not mean being able to use it.

"Isn't this kind of thing quite normal?"

Ai Yue simply shrugged. "Knowledge can only continue to thrive if it circulates. Of all the means of circulation, direct disclosure is the simplest and most direct. I even think the scope of disclosure isn't wide enough."

After all, the Science and Technology Exchange Conference is not an open event for everyone, and much of its content is only circulated in a relatively narrow environment. In fact, more than 80% of people in the world have almost never heard of such an event. Therefore, the information disclosed in it is basically only circulated among the academic circles in Atla City.

Although this level of disclosure can be said to have maximized the value of this knowledge, for Ai Yue, it is far from enough.

There may not be another player in the world who has cheats like him, but there will definitely be geniuses like Velvi or Mebius. It’s just that in the current environment, they may be restricted by their living environment and unable to grow.

What Ai Yue wants to do is to create a suitable environment for them so that they can display their talents.

It's a pity that this plan now ranks last among all the projects in his hands, so it will be difficult to implement it in a short time. Chaoyang College does have such a plan, but now it has limited manpower and the scale is still too small.

"That's right. We only realized it after this incident."

096 nodded towards Ai Yue, "Blocking knowledge won't make us better. We can only progress through mutual communication. Even scholars from different fields can find inspiration from each other that they wouldn't normally perceive. This is the original intention of establishing the 'Knowledge Seeking Sect'."

Then she pulled over a blackboard, on which were written two sections of questions from different fields: "More things will be discussed after you pass the test. As long as you can complete them within an hour..."

The entry test of the Knowledge Seeking Sect is actually quite difficult. When newcomers join the sect, they need to face three questions in the field they are good at. These questions are generally randomly selected from the question bank contributed by the sect members. Although they are not too difficult, there is obviously a certain threshold. Therefore, not everyone who comes here can pass it smoothly.

However, 096 obviously did not realize the identities of the two people in front of her. Before she even finished speaking, Ai Yue had already finished the three questions in front of her.

"interesting."

After finishing the paper, he commented, "The first two questions were a bit too difficult to answer, but the third question has a rather novel approach."

Then he looked at Mebius on the other side and asked, "How about it, do you need help?"

"shut up!"

Mebius glared at him, then finished the last question. "These things shouldn't be too difficult for me, right?"

As a leading scholar in the field of genetics, how could she possibly be stumped by the questions posed by these juniors? She might even have written some of the references they had used before setting their questions.

But compared to someone like Ai Yue who seems to not need to think at all, he is still a little slow.

"So fast?"

096 looked at the blackboard in front of her in disbelief, still a little unresponsive - these questions were actually quite difficult, so 096 was very considerate and doubled the original limit of minutes to complete them. However, she didn't expect that the time these two people spent on answering the questions combined was less than one minute. During this time, she hadn't even finished reading the questions!

The key question was, how old were these two people? Although their masks partially obscured their appearance, judging by their voices and other characteristics, the man and woman before them were definitely only in their twenties.

Is there such a master in Atla City?

After a brief moment of confusion, 096 quickly became excited again - she had initially agreed to recommend two people into the sect only because she had once received funding from Eden, so she wanted to repay the other party a favor. But now it seemed that she owed the other party a favor again.

Being able to introduce such talented newcomers to join the sect would also be of certain benefit to her.

"096?"

Seeing that she had no reaction for a long time, Ai Yue asked, "Why don't you check it again?"

"No, no need."

096 came back to his senses and nodded. "You've passed. Please wait a moment. I'll apply for your serial numbers. There will be a welcome ceremony later."

"There's no need for a welcome ceremony..."

Ai Yue subconsciously tried to dissuade him, but 096 had already turned and ran away. So he could only scratch his head and look at Mebius beside him: "Tell me, if we are so ostentatious, will anyone come out and accuse us of cheating?"

"And then you embarrassed me by telling me off on the spot, right?"

Mobius glanced at Ai Yue and said, "How can there be so many brainless people in this world? Besides, this is Atla City, a gathering of scholars. Even if they question you, they won't question your cheating, but your approach to solving the problem."

Although Mebius did not understand the story of pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face, she was quite familiar with the situation in Atla City and naturally knew that what Ai Yue said would not happen.

"That's hard to say."

Ai Yue shrugged, revealing a malicious smile. "I still remember that someone disliked me and wanted to use a difficult project to intimidate me."

Obviously, he was talking about when Mebius had just joined the Fire Moth and scared him with the Fusion Warrior Project.

Mebius was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blushed: "That's a special case!"

The two were still chatting when 096 came over with someone else: "001, these are the two newcomers I told you about."

001? It seems he is the founder of this sect?

Ai Yue immediately looked up and then his eyes widened.

Even though the other person is wearing a mask, why does he look a little familiar?

The woman with the "001" logo on her chest also froze in place when she saw Ai Yue and Mebius.

The next second, the other party turned around and ran away.

"Eh?"

096 obviously hadn't expected such a situation and was completely stunned. "001?"

"It's okay, I'll go find her."

Ai Yue walked past 096 with a smile, his tone mixed with some subtle emotions, "Let's have a good chat with her by the way."

It turned out that scholars who stayed in the laboratory for a long time were not good at exercise. Ai Yue just took a few quick steps and caught up with the fleeing 001.

He had no intention of catching her directly. He just followed her slowly, as if waiting for her to collapse from exhaustion.

Realizing that he couldn't escape at all, 001 simply gave up resistance and shrank into a corner, as if this would allow him to avoid the facts.

"Your physical strength is too poor. You still need to exercise more."

Ai Yue walked over slowly and smiled, "Don't you agree, Ai Yin?"

001 held his head in his hands: "I, I don't know what you are talking about."

"If you want to disguise your identity, remember to comb your messy hair neatly next time."

Ai Yue reached out and directly picked out the red highlights hidden under the other person's mask. "And you turned around and ran away. Isn't that really a bit self-incriminating?"

At this time, Ai Yue finally remembered why he felt that this place looked familiar - this was actually the back half of the Einstein Institute. It was just because he entered through the back door that Ai Yue did not recognize it at first.

Seeing the overwhelming evidence, 001, or Einstein, lost all hope of resistance: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please punish me?"

"what?"

This time it was Ai Yue who was stunned. "What's wrong?"

"Eh?"

Einstein looked up. "Shouldn't I organize such a sect in your name?"

"It was you who did it."

Ai Yue sighed, "Forget it, now that things have come to this, punishment is meaningless - besides, this sect is quite interesting."
