Chapter 82 Seeing You Among Those Stars
Ling Suyu didn't want to hide it from him, but he also didn't want these things to disrupt Xiaomu's peaceful life, so he just nodded lightly.
Seeing that he didn't intend to continue, Wen Shumu bit her lip and changed the subject: "Brother, can you tell me what the strange beasts are like?"
He had learned a little about it on the StarNet before. The alien beasts were canines that had undergone genetic mutations due to radiation. They were large, with well-developed limbs, extremely aggressive, and could move freely in space.
A single beast might be alright, but these strange beasts prefer to appear in groups, and the beast king even possesses a certain degree of intelligence, causing enormous trouble for human society.
Ling Suyu then described the appearance of the strange beasts to him: "Ordinary strange beasts are about the same height as Lie Bing, while the stronger ones are about twice the size of Lie Bing. They have red eyes and very long tails, so you have to be careful not to get hit by their tails. Their eyes and the back of their necks are their most vulnerable spots..."
Wen Shumu listened very attentively, like a well-behaved and studious student, which softened Teacher Ling's heart.
Ling Suyu stopped talking at the right moment and said gently, "It's late, let's rest."
Wen Shumu then relaxed his body and closed his eyes under Ling Suyu's gaze.
He only opened his eyes again when the Alpha in front of him was breathing steadily, his eyes clear, clearly indicating that he hadn't been asleep.
After hearing Ling Suyu's words, he couldn't sleep at all.
He even felt a sense of disgust towards his own ignorance and helplessness.
If you want to achieve something in a certain field and help Marshal Ling, it's difficult to do so without systematic learning.
Adolphus's suggestion flashed through his mind like lightning.
Wen Shumu's pupils dilated slightly as he gazed intently at the Alpha for a long time, his eyes revealing an undisguised and straightforward affection.

Allison was very worried.
My wife's fever has subsided for a few days now, and she has stayed home except when she goes to the hospital.
He used to at least go to the courtyard to sunbathe, but now he stays cooped up in his room all day reading.
The marshal, on the other hand, was often away from home.
Previously, in order to accompany his wife, he had accumulated a lot of official business, traveling between the Helios Palace and the military headquarters every day, and returning to the manor late at night.
Allison subtly suggested that he go for a walk while serving tea and snacks to his wife, but he refused.
The lady seemed very focused, so he didn't dare to disturb her and had to give up.
The window was half open, and a gentle breeze squeezed in, seemingly afraid of disturbing Omega's slightly curly hair, and instead brushed it softly.
Wen Shumu smoothed the stray hairs that were blowing in the wind from his forehead, looked away from the book, and stretched.
He finally finished reading the book that Adolphus had recommended to him.
After getting up and stretching in the spacious bedroom, Wen Shumu sat back down at the table and sent a message to Adolphus via a terminal projector.
Adolphus responded quickly.
[Adolphus: Did you read all ten books?]
He seemed very surprised.
Wen Shumu replied, "Yes."
The next instant, Adolphus initiated a video call.
Wen Shumu immediately straightened his collar and answered the call.
The lean and wiry master appeared on the 3D projection, and without any pleasantries, went straight to the point, asking Wen Shumu a few questions to answer.
These were all questions mentioned in the book, and Wen Shumu answered them smoothly.
Adolphus confirmed that Wen Shumu had not just skimmed through the book, nor had he relied on his superior memory to memorize it; rather, he had genuinely read and understood the contents of the book.
He said with satisfaction, "Very good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Wen Shumu smiled shyly, then said seriously, "I would like to ask the professor, I... really want to help the marshal, but I don't know what to do next."
Adolphus narrowed his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and said, "You're too hasty right now. Haste makes waste."
Wen Shumu's shoulders slumped, as if his secret had been exposed, and his expression was slightly dejected.
"Makers need to spend all day in the workshop, learning from polishing a tiny part. Unless you are a genius among geniuses, it will take at least one or two decades to achieve anything."
Wen Shumu said, "I am mentally prepared. Even if it's just a part, as long as it can help him in some way, that's fine. I don't want to be stuck at home every day like this anymore, completely unaware of the outside world."
Adolphus shook his head again, a kind smile on his face: "Have you ever thought about... taking a good look at yourself?"
Wen Shumu looked bewildered, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Only by knowing what you like and what you are good at can you find the path that suits you best," Adolphus said. "You are good with numbers, have a strong memory, are meticulous, have flexible thinking, and are careful and conscientious in your work. These are all your strengths and you are indeed very suitable for working in the mecha industry."
Wen Shumu smiled shyly after being suddenly praised by the master, but Adolphus's next words made him turn pale.
"Mecha manufacturing requires extremely strong creativity and hands-on skills, which you possess, but they are not particularly outstanding compared to your other strengths."
Wen Shumu clasped his hands under the table, mustered his courage, and asked, "Then what do you think I'm better suited to do?"
Adolphus leaned back slightly, his posture relaxed but his expression serious: "Architect."

After ending the call, Wen Shumu lay down on the bed to rest.
He looked up at the projection in the air, lines of text scrolling in front of him.
A mecha architect is essentially a strategist in the process of mecha manufacturing and use.
If the builder creates the mecha's exterior, then the architect needs to establish the mecha's internal data system, visualize the complex data, unravel the underlying trends or problems, and provide forward-looking suggestions for the builder and pilot.
After the initial design is completed, the manufacturer often discusses the next steps with the architect. During the debugging phase after manufacturing, the architect is also invited to analyze the design and see if there are any areas that need improvement.
Before actual combat, the military and top mech teams will ask architects to help adjust the mechs to their optimal condition.
Becoming a mecha architect is no easy task. It requires not only a deep understanding of mechas but also solid skills in artificial intelligence and statistics.
As someone at the forefront of the mecha industry, it's best to have flexible information channels and abundant personal connections to obtain firsthand information.
In addition to these, there is a crucial step: obtaining the corresponding professional qualification certificate.
Wen Shumu roughly understands that the architect qualification exam is the most rigorous in the mecha industry. Many people have tried to pass it for several years and eventually become data analysts.
Before hanging up, Adolphus recommended a new list of books to him, telling him to contact him again if he decided to pursue this path after reading them.
The master builder smiled and said, "Mecha architects are rare, and outstanding ones are even rarer. I hope to see you among those stars."
"Perhaps one day, we can work together to create a mech that will amaze the world."
