Chapter 212: Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts (Part one)
Han couldn’t imagine, the blueprint of the source power core could actually be even more vast than the stars, and more profound than the universe.
This was definitely the marvel of mechanical design history, and Han was immediately attracted by this unmatched drawing, his eyes could no longer leave it.
11 hours passed unconsciously, when 9527 found Han again, he was still sitting still staring at the blueprint trying to understand the design of this complicated system.
9527 smiled and said, “Can’t understand it? No worries, without over a hundred years of study, you can’t understand this thing. The development of technology must also be supported by one’s life span.”
“Humans in ancient times, they only needed a few years of study and they could master survival skills, such as hunting, picking fruits, avoiding beasts and so on. As we go into modern civilization, the time it takes to study became longer and longer, because technology is always increasing.”
“But now, if you really want to master a real profession, you will need at least a few hundred years of studying, because the things you need to learn are just too much. If you want to become a master, in addition to talent, you will need more of hundreds of years of nonstop studying and researching.”
“So you don’t have to be discouraged. The road is still long, just take your time.”
Han nodded and whispered, “Teacher, I don’t understand this loop, it extends this way, seems to be breaking a metaphysical theory.”
9527 suddenly hesitated for a second. Han liked to call other people teachers, and this title was indeed strange enough, but this was a very common title in China. Not to mention outside of Earth, it’s even very strange outside of China.
9527 was like Pathless, Night Walker and the others, he was very not used to this title, but the name “teacher” was a title that contains respect with a little feeling of a close relationship, and that’s what made 9527 very comfortable.
“Oh, you only know quantic theory, but don’t know that there’s a hyper quantic theory above quantic theory, so it’s normal that you don’t understand.” 9527 replied.
“Hyper-quantic theory? That means here, here, and here, it’s all because of hyper quantic theory, that’s why the rare reverse circuit can be used?” Han asked.
“Not all of them. The design here is because of subatomic mutations.” 9527 replied.
“Oh, so that means, subatomic particles here started varying at a speed similar to cell mutation, and ultimately compressed normal energy to particle forms that can be accepted by soldiers?” Han asked again.
Han had two big tools he uses when studying, one was repetitive self-learning, and the other one was nonstop questioning.
Thinking back to before when Night Walker was teaching Han, he almost got driven crazy by Han’s endless questions, and the situation 9527 was in right now was exactly the same.
Han’s strong desire to satisfy his curiosity caused him to accumulate too many questions in one night. Now, these questions big and small were all came out pouring, and it didn’t take long before 9527 started feeling dizzy.
Han’s questions were completely random, he was just answering questions about energy structure, and now he began asking about cell division. And during the process of Han asking questions, new questions will also begin producing nonstop.
9527 was at first very angry, because Han was very aggressive with his questions, completely disregarding the feelings of the person that’s answering it. After all, there were not many learning addicts in the world like Han, and Han’s studying speed was almost close to a retardedly fast speed.
Luckily Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox were both here and the two little guys served 9527 comfortably. 9527 couldn’t even release his anger even if he wanted to.
Before anyone knew it, six hours passed.
9527 felt headache, a restless voice keeps on buzzing in his head, and when he took a look at the time, he realized that it has been so long.
So, he finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, “Are you done yet?! Today’s work didn’t even start yet, and I’m already feeling dizzy because of you, did you do it on purpose?”
Don’t be angry~
Don’t be angry~
Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox hurriedly tried to suck up to 9527. Yuan Yuan’s speciality is his gentleness, and Silver Fox is dedicated to be funny. First it tried really hard to fan 9527 with its two little paws, and when its realized that it’s not working out, it started imitating a drunk person and made a fool out of itself which made 9527 laughed very hard.
“Teacher, if you are tired you can go rest, let me check the source power core.” Han said.
“Are you capable enough?”
“I must give it a try to know if I can, don’t worry I won’t mess around. When your break is over, you can look over my work, and if it’s not good you just have to scold at me.” Han said very modestly.
That’s right~
That’s right~
Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox, the two little things, helped cheering on the side.
“Fine fine, I will let this guy give it a try because of you guys.”
Maybe because 9527 has been alone for too long, he had completely no resistance against the two little guys. The moment they made him happy, he would forget about everything else.
“Then I will go take a break. I will come back tomorrow to check your progress, but if you damage the source power core, humph!” 9527 said to Han in a warning tone.
Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox happily sent 9527 away, and the little guy Silver Fox, it actually quietly turned back and gave Han a thumbs up, which means, mission accomplished!
Chapter 212: Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts (Part two)
The thing about learning is that, it must be combined with theory and practice.
After 9527 left, Han started taking apart the source power core.
“Oh, this probably shouldn’t be removed right?”
“Whatever, I will just remove it.”
“Huh? Which part of this is this on the blueprint? Let me detach it and take a look.”
“Oh crap, I detached too many parts.”
“Might as well, just detach everything, otherwise how else can I figure out the internal structure of this.”
“But I still have to be a bit careful, marking everything is a must, Yuan Yuan, you help me note everything down.”
Han’s curiosity began acting up again. He promised 9527 that he would try fixing the source energy core, but now, he took apart the entire machine!
When 9527 got up he was still a little tired, answering Han’s endless questions was even more tiring than him working. So he was thinking that today he must control his own rhythm, not answering any of Han’s questions, or maybe just answer a few for Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox.
With that in mind, 9527 came to the scene, and after the first glance he nearly fainted.
A decent source power core, was detached into a pile of parts, and he felt that he already accidently stepped on a couple of them.
Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox are two clever little guys, they can see the anger close to erupting on 9527’s face. They knew it was time for them to make an appearance again so they all went up to him.
Of course, some scolding was inevitable, Han sincerely listened. This attitude plus Silver Fox and Yuan Yuan, 9527 really couldn’t get too mad.
It reminded 9527 of how he loved to take things apart when he was small too, dismantling anything he saw. Of course, such a complex source power core, only the audacious Han dared to take it apart. 9527 really didn’t know how to face this pile of parts, just how much time would it take for him to put everything back together?
Must know, source power core, it’s hard to dismantle, and it’s even harder to put everything back together!
In the life of a person, one will for sure face things one couldn’t resist. To most men, beautiful women are irresistible. To Han, the strong belief to protect Earth was irresistible for him. But to 9527, Silver Fox and Yuan Yuan were irresistible for him.
“This brat is so annoying, but Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox are so cute, how can there be such a big contrast…” 9527 thought.
He originally thought that today’s work would be easier without having to answer Han’s questions, and he could just have Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox accompany him and live a happy day.
But who would’ve known, today’s even worse!
Han took apart the entire source energy core, which caused him to have no choice but to put this extremely complex system back together with Han.
Although 9527 didn’t have to do anything and just advise Han on the side, but they still exhausted him. Before a tenth of the work was completed, he was already yelling about how he couldn’t take it anymore and needed to go back to sleep.
Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox carefully sent him away.
Whew~
Silver Fox turned back, and the look on him towards Han was a bit filled with hidden bitterness, as if blaming this troublemaker owner that always needed it to sell its cuteness to please 9527. This little guy was actually pretty tired too.
But anyways, Silver Fox completely brought teamwork into play, pleasing 9527 everyday with Yuan Yuan, and that way Han could be free with his imagination and constantly cause trouble, and then try to fix the trouble.
The first source power core Han took 5 complete days to put everything back together. But Han didn’t stop there. When checking the second source power core, Han took it apart again, and it pissed 9527 off again to jump up and down. He kept on emphasizing, he told Han to check the core, not to take it apart for fun. Only take it apart when it’s necessary, not just make it into a pile of parts right off the bat.
Of course Han wouldn’t listen. The second source power core was putted back together in three days, the speed improved a lot.
And then it’s the third one, dismantled, and put back together after 1.5 days.
9527 slowly became used to this life. Han seemed to be the one that specifically looked for trouble, and the bigger the trouble caused, the harder Yuan Yuan and Silver Fox would try to please 9527, and 9527 really enjoys the time spent with those two little things.
When beginning to test the fourth source power core, 9527 surprisingly found, Han actually didn’t have to completely dismantle everything anymore. He just needed to take apart the external layer, make some observation and be able to come to the conclusion on whether the machine is malfunctioning.
Of course, during the process Han also used his unique skill, Eye of Darkness.
Under his dark vision, Han could soon find out whether the parts were broken and needed replacement.
“Since you can use special vision, why didn’t you use it earlier?” 9527 asked.
Han smiled and said, “If I do that, how could I learn?”
“So you took apart the source power core, just to study it?”
“Yep.” Han answered bluntly.
This day, Han checked and fixed 27 source power cores, and the high efficiency left even 9527 speechless.
When the fat old man was on his way back to his bedroom, with head down he mumbled to himself, “9 and a half days, this brat learned the source energy core through dismantling it. He only took 9 and a half days…”
Life just went on like before. When 9527 was there, Han helped him repair this transition station. After 9527 goes back to sleep, Han still needed to study, and he would think about all the situations he met today, and then organize them into questions, in preparation to ask 9527 the next day for advice.
9527 began to feel not too disgusted with Han. Han’s studying format was indeed chaotic, but the moment Han passed the beginner stage, he began to demonstrate amazing learning capacity and efficiency, and only needed 9527 to give little pointers on the side.
Sometimes, Han would also go to that lobby that showcased those hidden prizes. Although Han had always been able to go into the room, but he couldn’t touch anything inside as if it’s protected by a transparent protective cover.
On that day, like usual, Han walked into this room while thinking about a question.
Raising his head, he saw that there was actually a cupboard that was unlocked. Maybe 9572 was careless when doing his routine checks.
Full of curiosity, Han picked up the book.
It has long been crumbling, old beyond imagination, and on top of it are four big words.
Boundless Ten-Thousand Beasts.
