Chapter 826 Chloe is a book that can never be finished.
Chloe was very happy.
Before she met Hughes, she was a well-known workaholic in the Moth of Flame, handling almost all the organization's miscellaneous tasks by herself. In addition, as a superhuman, she had much more energy than ordinary people, and at that time she was quite passionate about her work.
But no matter how much you love it, you can't withstand endless overtime.
She was exhausted in the courtroom, especially after the previous campaign to the northern border, where the convictions of nobles of all ranks had to go through her. Now, not to mention the extraordinary, even the deceased extraordinary beings couldn't withstand it.
Now she only needs to give lectures every day, which makes her feel a little uneasy.
Although the machine spirits are short-tempered, they can be easily taught a lesson if they are properly soothed. Chloe tried a few times, and at least the machine spirits were listening.
As for the results, we'll have to wait and see.
With some free time, Chloe started strolling around the factory.
She first developed a strong interest in her assistant, Little Bush.
Prior to this, Chloe knew little about the Untouchables, and Hughes had not told her about the special nature of this race, so Chloe simply treated them as ordinary aliens.
so.
"Little Bu, have you taken your technical priest certification exam?"
"No."
"What advanced courses did you take?"
"I haven't learned any of it."
"What about the advanced class?"
"None of them learned it either."
Chloe was incredulous: "You couldn't have only attended literacy classes, could you? How did you get a job in the factory without a diploma?"
"I never attended any literacy classes; I learned everything on my own."
How long have you been self-studying?
"Hmm, a month, I guess," Xiao Bu said after thinking for a moment.
Chloe paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: So Hughes made her my teaching assistant so that I could teach her as well.
Moreover, her clansmen are all here, and the workshop here is so empty. I guess she wants me to teach them too.
Chloe felt she had grasped the truth.
"No problem! Little Bu, what's your preferred field? Mechanical principles? Automation? Materials science?"
Xiao Bu scratched his messy hair with a wrench: "Mechanical principles, I like mechanics!"
"Okay, then let's study mechanical principles! The library has a pretty comprehensive selection of materials, including textbooks!"
The two quickly found their textbooks. Xiao Bu casually flipped through them and looked at Chloe: "Tell me if there's anything you don't understand, and I'll explain it to you."
Chloe: '?'
"Uh, I meant I'll wait a bit. Do you know all the details of this book?"
"Yes, that's the easiest," Xiao Bu replied without hesitation.
"Haha, being too arrogant isn't good~" Chloe looked at the short little Bu and subconsciously used a coaxing tone, "Even I wouldn't dare say I remember every single point."
"Aren't you a book? How can a book not remember what's in the book?"
"I am a diary! Besides, it's normal not to remember everything; who can remember everything?"
“I can remember.”
Chloe was silent for a moment, then asked, "What types of flexible couplings are there?"
"Based on whether the components are elastic, flexible couplings with elastic components include cross-slider couplings, gear couplings, universal couplings, and chain couplings. Those with elastic components include..."
Chloe asked several questions in a row, and Little Cloth answered them without blinking. Chloe was not giving up and pulled her to point out various parts, but she still got them all right.
Chloe fell silent.
After a moment, she spoke with some difficulty: "Did you teach yourself all of this?"
"Yes, the principles of mechanics are quite difficult; I spent the whole afternoon studying them."
"One, one afternoon?!"
"Actually, it should be considered half an afternoon. I read half of it and also finished reading the advanced mathematics, but that was a bit boring."
Chloe felt the only part she could understand was that "advanced mathematics is rather boring," but a bad feeling crept into her heart: "What kind of boring are you talking about?"
"It's just a bunch of numbers. There's nothing interesting about machinery, lubricants, or steel. After reading it, I feel like my head is empty. It's not very interesting."
"So you've learned it? Are you really talking about advanced mathematics? Calculus and stuff like that?"
"Of course, is there anyone who can't learn calculus?" Xiao Bu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Chloe was speechless.
She wanted to give Xiaobu a few advanced math problems to test him, but she couldn't think of any for the moment.
"I've read all the books in the library. You can ask me anything you don't understand, big sister Chloe." Little Bu gently stroked Chloe's cover, his eyes full of affection.
This was the first time she had ever encountered Chloe's book-like diary, which seemed endless.
Unconvinced, Chloe spent half a day actually taking out all the books in the library and asking a lot of questions. Her conclusion was that Little Breeze was more like a mobile library.
"Well, just memorizing isn't enough. For engineers, hands-on skills are also extremely important. You've spent so much time studying, you probably don't have much practical experience."
Chloe choked up halfway through her sentence, only then noticing that the pocket on Little Bu's waist was bulging with a whole set of tools, and his hands were covered in machine oil. He didn't look like someone without any hands-on experience at all.
No way!
When Xiao Bu casually assembled an alarm clock for Chloe using spare parts on the spot, Chloe was shocked.
Firstly, because Little B's assembly speed was extremely fast, his hands were almost blurry, and only Chloe, being a superhuman, could barely see it.
Secondly, because the alarm clock was assembled from parts of a self-propelled artillery piece.
The alarm clock's casing was the cover of the crew cabin's ventilation vents, the glass cover was removed from a level, the hands were two wires of different sizes, and the gears and springs were removed from who-knows-where.
Most importantly, this alarm clock, pieced together from parts that shouldn't have been in the design at all, actually works.
Watching the twisted wire move across the handwritten numbers, Chloe felt she had never been lost.
Did she travel into one of Nini's absurd stories?
Who is she? A girl named Chloe? Or a diary that has gained spirituality?
Chloe felt like an incompletely evolved monkey in front of Brooks, completely outclassed in both intelligence and practical skills.
But looking into Xiao Bu's innocent big eyes, she couldn't bring herself to complain.
"Fine, monkeys it is. We're just killing time anyway. Let's improve our self-propelled artillery."
The self-propelled artillery was not yet fully developed and was a rather initial version. There were still many areas for improvement in its design, and Chloe planned to upgrade her future body.
With Xiao Bu being so capable, he must be able to help me improve, right?
With this mindset, Chloe's enthusiasm was rekindled, and the two began collaborating.
But soon she became confused again.
"Little Bu, why haven't you offered any suggestions for improvement when you clearly know far more than me?"
Xiao Bu scratched his head, looking a little confused: "I don't know why it feels so simple when I'm making things, but when I try to design something new, my mind just goes blank."
