Garen sized up these two people. They were obviously newcomers who had not experienced any battle or endeavors. They might not even have an understanding of the environment and the compet.i.tion system in Blackboard Academy itself.
Slightly revealing a smile, Garen’s line of sight s.h.i.+fted to his senior sister, Galafil.
“Tomorrow should be the time for teacher’s lecture. Do you know if the other two senior brothers will come?”
“Maybe yes, but one of them went to the annular meteorite belt. It might be a long time before he comes back,” Galafil said casually and sat down with the two newcomers.
Garen did not mind and sat down.
“Alright, Hill, let’s continue our trade from just now.”
“No problem, no problem!” the smart hub, Hill, answered quickly.
Soon, a transparent light screen appeared before Garen. There were countless densely-packed numbers and lines flowing on it. They then quickly stopped and only showed two lines of words.
“These are the energy machinist training methods you wanted. They are the latest training methods that anyone can practice though it may take a little longer time…” Hill laughed.
“A little longer?” Galafil, who was watching coldly from the side, interjected with disdain, “Not even one percent of progress in a year is still called ‘a little’?”
Obviously, she intended to remind Garen that it was a pit that he would not be able to come out from once he jumped in.
“Just because you couldn’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t,” Hill retorted. “I can see that Nono is clearly not an ordinary person and maybe he really does have the composition of an energy machinist. Once you become an energy machinist, there would absolutely be no problem living it up!”
“Wasn’t that the same thing you once told me?”
“That is because your own apt.i.tude couldn’t succeed, who can you blame? I had always reminded you and hinted you since the beginning but in the end, you…”
One person and one core started quarreling with each other.
Garen could not be bothered about the argument between the two but simply glanced at the description above.
‘Energy machinist training method — NIS: An orthodox school founded by the ancient Elsie Republic’s grandmaster, Neer. They have the most standard advancement progress of an energy machinist. Their level of fusion of machinery and biochemistry was second to none. They were mainly famous for the manufacturing of flying-insects type of energy machinery.’
‘Training method special skills: Each level enhances the experimental platform to produce energy machinery with 0.5 level of basic defense, 0.5 level of speed.’
‘Energy mechanist training method — Laura Wireless Control: a c.u.mulative training method created by the mystery grandmaster energy machinist, Laura. The most special characteristic of the experimental platform is its c.u.mulative nature. It will naturally create a high intelligence combat energy machinery every other year and their numbers will depend on the level of the platform. Energy machinery does not impose any Willpower burden on the energy machinist. It is an automated intelligent control but the defect is that it may be affected by possible electromagnetic influences. If there are enough materials and energy resources, then it is easy to create an army of energy machinery. The prerequisite is, of course, a sufficiently large platform control.’
‘Training method special skills: Each stage can increase the upper limit of the mechanical capacity of the platform by 1 (all the energy machinist’s energy machinery have an initial upper limit of 1) and each level can reduce the consumption of energy machinery manufacturing by 5%.’
‘Take note: The above training method may consume more time and more resources.’
Looking at these two types of energy machinist training methods, Garen also roughly understood that the main strength of an energy machinist would be coming from the energy machinery and that the manufacturing process of energy machinery required a lot of resources and energy.
“This is a job which only wealthy people can afford. Even if it is a rich person, spending too much energy on the energy machinist training method would not yield a good future all the same,” Galafil was watching by the side. She sounded casual but was in fact, reminding Garen.
“Are energy machinists able to extract the materials themselves?” Garen suddenly asked.
“Of course,” Hill replied quickly. “Any energy machinist can purify or synthesize materials like metals. Of course, he would need an energy furnace.”
“Then I want… NIS,” Garen chose this as his attempt.
He did not forget that he had acquired a similar training method, Glowing Radiance, from the Honorable n.o.bles.
That training method was very bizarre. It only emphasized the design of the biochemical modulation pool.
“No problem!” Hill was instantly joyful and giggled. With the sound of a ring, all the quest points in Garen’s account were swept away.
The NIS training method also appeared in the database of his wrist.w.a.tch. He lowered his head and began to look it up slowly.
For a moment, the people on the sofa slowly quietened. Galafil and the duo also noticed this change. There was nothing to say. They began chatting in a small voice, their volume lowered by a lot.
Garen quickly glanced through the NIS training method and found that it was not very similar to Glowing Radiance Training Method. However, there was something in common. Both mentioned a very important object, the biochemical modulation pool.
The mainstream of an energy machinist was to concentrate on creating a variety of energy machinery with semi-Willpower control. Whether they were auxiliary type, combat type or logistics type, each type could have a great application. Many of these creative technologies could even revolutionize the technology of the entire industry. They were the top-level scientific research talents.
Of course, the basic learning knowledge required was also enormous. Besides the basic sciences which had about twenty-something fields themselves, there was also advanced high-level learning, high-energy mathematics, magnetic field research, energy-saving magnetic materials, nano-electronics, nano-biotechnology, cyclical fusion energy bases… and all sorts of research sciences.
Even though there were training methods to improve brain intelligence, many things had simply reached the level of pure aerial. One had to establish a model from physical reality, calculate and find the formula patterns, use these formulas to infer new formulae and then use them to calculate all kinds of physical phenomena to derive a new physical model. Building on this foundation, quantum computers were then used for the acc.u.mulation of phenomena or the qualitative transformation of phenomena to form the ultimate desired state… A primary state…
This was the process that a primary target state needed to reach. In the midst of it, it involved numerous basic constants, basic calculations and various types of complicated work. There must also be a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, otherwise, it would not have the capabilities to calculate and deduce.
The primary state may be the most common application environment parameter on many energy machinist’s platforms. Tens of thousands of parameters were always needed on the platform.
When understanding up to this point, Garen finally understood why energy machinists were so rare. It seemed that the degree of complexity involved in all this was far from the perception of those pilots who relied on natural talent to have their way.
However, there was a slight advantage to be an energy machinist. Its training method could be learned by anyone. The government never restricted this aspect of content. It did not require any kind of ident.i.ty or the likes to be able to learn it. But even so, without a vast acc.u.mulation of knowledge, resources and wealth as reserves, it was impossible for an energy machinist to develop even a single hair.
“True enough, what a burning-money industry…” Garen sighed.
“If you have tons of money, you don’t have to be afraid of anything. Of course, there are too many people with too much money, but the possibility of becoming an energy machinist is only one in ten-thousandths,” Galafil took up the cup of coffee delivered by the smart hub and sipped it.
Garen silently nodded, sorted out the information obtained and returned directly to his room. He did not have any intention to communicate with the other two newcomers.
Milo stood up and tried to stop him but Galafil pulled him back and shook her head slightly. He could only watch as Garen entered his room, closed the door and made a locking beep sound.
“Senior sister, why didn’t you let me…” Milo sat down, confused, and looked at Galafil. He knew that the other person had a good heart and was not like that kind of person who deliberately did bad things.
Nehri, who was beside him, was also puzzled and looked over. Obviously, she had also had this doubt in her heart.
Galafil put down her coffee.
“The guy is not an average person. He has killed people.”
What…
In two exclamations, both Milo and Nehri were frightened. They were new students who had just entered the academy, chosen because of some special relations.h.i.+p and was brought in by Professor Van Doe, not due to achievement but relations.
“Don’t provoke him,” Galafil said bluntly. “There is a kind of people who, on the surface, can speak gently in conversations and looks very good-tempered. But once the tables are turned, he can eat you up in an instant without leaving any bones.”
“That person is also a freshman, right?” Milo’s face paled as he asked. Killing someone? Never mind killing someone, he even had never used a knife to kill chickens before. Seeing others fight would also terrify him.
Nehri, who was beside, was similar. She clutched at Milo’s arm tightly.
“There are also big differences among freshmen,” Galafil shook her head. “It will be alright if you don’t provoke him in any way.”
As time pa.s.sed, Garen had spent eight or nine days at Teacher Van Doe’s place. It was time for the appointment with Anda.
Every day, he merely stayed behind closed doors in the villa and studied the newly acquired training method while acc.u.mulating enough potential points to spare.
Galafil and the other senior brothers were here. As expected, both of them had Level Five Willpower. At the same time, their Resonance Degrees were at New-Moon level and they had their own Mechs. The two even had a s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton; this sort of thing was a s.p.a.ce object that could instantly store and release the Mech. This was an eye-opener for Garen. It was the first time he had seen s.p.a.ce storage technology that he had only seen in novels previously.
Then, there was teacher Van Doe’s lecture.
Without any intention of waiting for the progress of Garen and the two newcomers, Van Doe talked on and on for an hour. Various kinds of parameters and conventional formulae needed to be remembered. Many formulae further produced even more complex formulae. Overlapping one another, they finally formed a complex Willpower resonance skill — Sand Eagle, which was a combination of hundreds of complex theoretical theories and numbers.
This was a true resonance technique that was summed up by Van Doe using Crouched Eagle Talon. He continuously deduced Crouched Eagle Talon, which had only five levels, and finally, after years of calculation, he had finally gotten this resonance skill, Sand Eagle, which could increase resonance degree.
This resonance technique was rather strange. At least, it seemed so to Garen. This was because as long as it was constantly practiced, it would slowly increase Crouched Eagle Talon Willpower and the Mech’s resonance degree. This resonance technique was not used for fighting at all but for cultivation instead.
Furthermore, it could not be replaced by computers. Each time, one had to calculate from scratch and simulate it in the brain. From this kind of simulation calculations, the Willpower would produce different calculation fluctuations and affect the Mech’s core. The specific principle involved resonance theory. This world’s resonance theory had far surpa.s.sed the foundation of Garen’s own research and exploration in the Totem World and had reached a very high level.
During these days in the villa, Garen continuously absorbed these highly sophisticated knowledge systems. With his collection of the broadcast knowledge systems of several worlds, Garen actually felt that it was very difficult to cope with these things. He had only managed to deduce Sand Eagle to around 60% on his own before he was stuck. He was able to break through the previous techniques, but the later parts involved further various types of calculations. Even when he calculated until his brain felt like exploding, it was still not clear. Many times, he would feel dizzy as the calculations went on and on.
During this time, the two newcomers Milo and Nehri finally experienced the cruelty of the inner courtyard.
From the few days that they went out, they would return with swelling faces, many bruises on their bodies and sometimes even with limps. Galafil did not interfere. After all, the two had to stand independently in the inner courtyard sooner or later. If she intervened as she pleased, it would be very bad for their growth.
Moreover, the most important thing was that in the inner courtyard, veterans like them were not invincible. Professor Van Doe had old students. Other mentors also had old students. Everyone had their own troubles and opponents, and problems as such.
The two children also seemed to have integrity and were unbending. They insisted on not seeking help from their senior sisters or brothers when they came back but suffered alone.
Fortunately, although they all came back with injuries every day, each time they would recover quite well. The treatment conditions in the villa were still not too bad. Dealing with these kinds of external injuries did not take too much time to resolve. The people who bullied them also seemed to know to weigh their actions. There were no serious injuries that would cause sequela. After draining the pool to get the fish[1], they knew that there was no more income for them.
Creak!
Milo was sitting in the living room while Nehri was helping him bandage his calf. He turned his head and saw that Nonosiva’s room door had opened, after days of him not coming out.
