Noah was very efficient. Three minutes later, Ruan Shiqing, who was still confused, heard her say, "You have been successfully registered in the Mechanic Forum. You have been given the highest authority. I hope you have fun."
???
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but there were too many complaints to express accurately.
Before he could react, he was teleported to the entrance of the forum.
Ruan Shiqing looked at the classical European-style tower building in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.
Are the forum that Noah understands and the forum that he understands the same thing? ? ? ? ?
Ruan Shiqing looked at this majestic building. The outer wall was a hazy and chaotic gray, and the spire was so tall that it almost pierced the sky.
The guards at the door were not humans, but two silver-grey robots, finely crafted and a model that Ruan Shiqing had never seen before. The two guards stood on the left and right, holding halberds and grimly scanning every person who passed by.
When Ruan Shiqing approached tentatively, they all bowed in unison, saying respectfully, "Welcome, Your Excellency."
“…”
The standards of this forum seemed a bit high, at least it was not the kind of peer exchange online forum he wanted in the beginning.
Taking a deep breath, Ruan Shiqing temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind and walked in under the gaze of the two robots.
As soon as he entered the door, changes began to occur on his body. Countless gray spots of light surrounded him, condensing into a gray robe that wrapped him from head to toe.
Ruan Shiqing stopped and looked around. After vaguely seeing several figures wearing grey robes inside the tower, he let out a breath and continued walking inside.
When you enter, the first thing you notice is the huge statue in front of you. It is a beautiful woman wearing a gray robe and a hood, with her beautiful face half hidden in the shadows, holding an open book in her hands.
Around the statue were countless spiral bookshelves arranged in a strange array, stretching all the way to the top of the tower, with no end in sight.
Groups of people wearing grey robes like him were either stopping in front of the bookshelves or chatting in the lounge area. It really looked like some kind of exchange salon for niche enthusiasts.
Ruan Shiqing was about to look at the books on the bookshelf when someone tapped him on the shoulder: "New here?"
Looking back, I saw a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, probably around 25 years old, with a very enthusiastic smile.
This is a difficult question to answer.
Ruan Shiqing could only smile back. He neither nodded nor shook his head.
Fortunately, the young man was talkative and did not lose his enthusiasm because of his indifference: "My name is Dai Si, and I just came to Metis, ten minutes ahead of you."
"My name is...Ruan Qing." Ruan Shiqing hesitated for a moment, but still used a pseudonym.
Thinking of what Noah said when he was sent here, "cracking the encryption" and "selecting an identity", he subconsciously felt a little guilty.
After exchanging names, Dai Si became noticeably more enthusiastic.
He looked around and whispered to Ruan Shiqing, "Although I knew there were many freaks in Metis before I came here, these people are too cold. I greeted everyone around, but no one paid any attention to me."
He looked like he was hit hard, and shook Ruan Shiqing's hand tightly: "Lucky to meet you."
Ruan Shiqing: ...
Well, as long as you are happy.
Des is a qualified guide.
Although he was just a newcomer, he obviously knew more about this place. With his introduction, Ruan Shiqing learned that this magnificent building was called Metis Tower.
The statue at the entrance is the goddess Metis, who is the first goddess of wisdom in ancient mythology, and that is why Metista got its name.
Metistra is the headquarters of the Mechanic Association. Every two years, a mechanic academic exchange forum is held here. Top mechanics from various planets gather here to exchange ideas and learn from each other. It is the most advanced and popular forum in the mechanic industry.
Moreover, Metis Tower is not a place that ordinary people can enter. It is the holy tower in the hearts of all mechanics and prospective mechanics. Only after passing the certification of the Mechanic Association and obtaining the mechanic professional certificate can one step into the gate of Metis Tower and receive the gift of the goddess of wisdom - the robe of wisdom.
Of course, the real Metista was built on the capital planet Sikkim, and the one in front of us is a holographic building built by the Mechanic Association based on the real Metista, for mechanics in the holographic network to learn from each other.
“……”Okay.
Ruan Shiqing was shocked and speechless.
I even suspected that Noah had used some improper means to get him in here.
But the old saying has come true...
Under Dais's guidance, he learned how to access the database in the tower.
Yes, those bookshelves in the lobby that spiral upward to the point where there seems to be no end are just window decorations. They are placed like this simply to show that the Machinists' Association has a long history and is wealthy.
In fact, as long as a mechanic has a professional certificate, he can connect to the internal network of Metis and read a lot of professional information that is not available outside. Except for some freaks, few people would go to Metis to read books.
Of course, there are also restrictions on access to information, and the permissions are divided according to the mechanic's certification level.
The higher the level, the higher the authority.
"Mechanic apprentices like us who have just passed the assessment can only look up the primary gray database." Dais showed him.
Ruan Shiqing imitated him and tapped on the virtual screen. When his finger accidentally passed over the highest-level golden database, the interface suddenly jumped and a dazzling array of handwritten design drawings appeared before his eyes:
"Design Manuscript of the "Scavenger" Killer Ship", "Design Sketch of the Deganon Photon Cannon", "Research on the Advantages and Disadvantages of Ion Rings"...
? ?
What is all this?
Ruan Shiqing was full of doubts and was about to turn around to ask Dai Si, but he found that his lips were trembling and his eyes were almost popping out from staring at the virtual screen.
!!!!!!!
This is the "Golden Hall" that only mechanical masters have the right to view! It contains the design sketches and manuscripts of many mechanical masters throughout the ages!!!
How many mechanics may never see this in their lifetime!
He was lucky enough to see it!!!
He suddenly grabbed Ruan Shiqing's hand and said in a trembling voice: "It turned out to be you, Boss. I was careless." Then he felt something was wrong: "Boss, why haven't you been to Metis?" He looked at the gray robe on him and became even more confused: "Why are you still wearing a gray robe?"
The robes of mechanics are also very particular, with clear levels from color to badges. For example, only mechanic apprentices wear gray robes, because this is a gift from the goddess of wisdom, implying that the light of the goddess of wisdom shines on everyone. After the level is upgraded, the association will issue new robes and badges.
First-level to third-level mechanics all wear brown robes, the only difference is the number of leaves on the "Wisdom Leaf" badge.
A mechanical master like Ruan Qing would usually wear a white robe and a "Tree of Wisdom" badge.
“…”
The grey robe is what you bring with you when you enter the door. If you ask me, who should I ask?
Ruan Shiqing was thinking about how to fool him, but Dai Si had already thought of an excuse: "It must be because you are usually immersed in academic research that you can't spare time to come to Metis. You are the legendary sweeping monk, right? The bigger you are, the less you care about these external things."
Maybe the boss's planet is very far away from Sikkim, so he can only see this holy tower on the holographic network.
He nodded to himself, "Yes, he became a master of mechanics at such a young age. How could he have as much free time as I do?"
“…”
The reasons he made up were impeccable, and Ruan Shiqing was unable to explain them clearly. He could only maintain an expressionless and unfathomable attitude.
Dai Si continued: "Meeting is fate. If I encounter a problem in the future, can I ask you for help?" Fearing that Ruan Shiqing would refuse, he quickly assured: "Don't worry, I will never interfere with your study and work. When you are free and in a good mood, just pay attention to me. This is my honor!"
"..." What else could Ruan Shiqing say? He could only keep smiling.
Finally, at Dai Si's strong request, he added him as a friend. Ruan Shiqing responded with a few random words before making an excuse that he had something to do and hurriedly returned to the original space.
"Sir, are you enjoying the communication in the Mechanic Forum?" Noah's cheerful voice came.
She obviously didn't realize that she and Ruan Shiqing had a deviation in their understanding of "forum".
Ruan Shiqing felt that something was wrong with this AI. He considered his words and asked tentatively, "I just went to Metis Tower, right? You can't just go there casually."
"Of course!" Noah said, "It took me a lot of effort to get in."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped and changed the subject abruptly: "It's good to be able to help you, sir. The Mechanic Forum is the most popular forum in the Empire!"
His Highness didn't seem to have revealed his identity, so she should just act a little more ordinary.
“…”
Ruan Shiqing was unsure about what was going on with this AI, and was afraid that asking too many questions would irritate her and be detrimental to him, so he could only stop the topic for the time being and prepare to log off before planning further steps.
Without asking any further questions, Ruan Shiqing said goodbye and went offline.
After taking off the helmet and turning back into an intelligent computer, Ruan Shiqing pondered for a while and prepared to wait for Xiong Fangfang and the others to come over before asking about the AI.
In the age of artificial intelligence, AI is not uncommon. But it is not normal for someone like Noah to be able to hack into the Mechanics Association so easily.
Moreover, before each AI is designed, restrictions will be set in the core program, making it very clear what it can and cannot do.
But this AI...seems to have a very high degree of freedom.
The shock he received today was too great, so Ruan Shiqing decided to read some books to calm down.
When I was choosing books, I couldn't help but think of the database that Dai Si opened.
The books in the database were exactly what he needed at the moment, and many of them he had never seen when he searched for them online.
Ruan Shiqing was itching.
After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but follow the method taught by Dess and connected to the internal database of Metis.
He just wanted to borrow a few books, that was all he wanted to do.
The author has something to say: Xiao Ruan: How can something that is done by a scholar be called stealing?
Noah: Yes.
