Chapter 1388 Urgent Urgency
As a decisive strategic material, combat mechas have become very common in advanced interstellar civilizations.
However, compared with conventional robot models that assist in home life, combat mechas have their own particularities after all, and therefore have a high entry threshold.
Just because you can afford the extra price doesn’t mean you can immediately fly a mecha into the sky.
Being able to afford a mecha only gives you ownership of it. But if you want to legally fly a mecha under the Interstellar Convention, you need a license!
"Makes sense," Wu Yi nodded and whispered to Guan Ying, "You have to learn how to drive and pass the test before you can get a license. A mecha is so big, if it flew halfway and crashed to the ground, it would be much more serious than a car accident."
"Any technical operation should have corresponding execution and verification standards," Guan Ying replied, arms folded across her chest, head slightly tilted towards Wu Yi. "My pastry chef certificate, your nutritionist certificate, Dr. Jin's psychologist license... these are all certified manifestations of professional ability. A mecha isn't just an ordinary means of transportation; its firepower is its core and lethal strike. I believe this certificate's assessment involves more than just ordinary operating skills and mental strength."
A group of people have already walked out of the mecha shop.
The little robot told them that mental strength is involved in the entry standards for professional mecha driving and there is a special measurement agency.
In the Star Hub Ring, the official Wanxing Adaptation Bureau can measure mental power values and handle mecha operator license-related business.
Xiao TV suggested that if Lin Fan and his friends planned to purchase combat mechas, it would be best to go to the Wanxing Adaptation Bureau first to inquire about mecha operation-related matters, so as to avoid being unable to legally drive the mecha after purchasing it.
Of course, if you only plan to drive within your own planet after purchasing it and do not enter the space restricted by the Interstellar Convention, there is no problem.
However, you still have to go to the adapter bureau to inquire about the relevant details of mecha operation, accessories and energy supply, etc. Otherwise, after-sales service will also be a problem, unless the customer is prepared to purchase the mecha as a disposable commodity.
After Lin Fan learned that the Wanxing Adaptation Bureau could not only identify mental power but also issue mecha operator licenses, he immediately accepted the little robot's suggestion and added the Adaptation Bureau to his itinerary.
The mecha shop is right here and won’t be gone, so there’s no need to rush to buy something.
But perhaps their questions were too low-level, the robot didn't say anything, but it obviously attracted the attention of another group of customers in the store.
Most of the crew members of the Noah were former frigate crew members, or had actual combat experience, and were extremely alert.
Almost everyone noticed the prying eyes, exchanged glances with the people next to them without saying a word, and then naturally followed Lin Fan out of the store.
When the people in the store chased out, they didn't even see the tail feathers of the flying carpet.
"Hahaha, you didn't see how stupid those people were!" Antonio laughed out loud.
"Are we being targeted?" Lin Fan frowned slightly. "Are we being so obvious?"
"What we consider restraint may seem childish to others," Jin Sichen shrugged. "The gap in scientific and technological concepts objectively exists. No matter how carefully we conceal it, it's difficult to achieve harmony in the eyes of others. There's no need to force ourselves."
"Tsk!" Antonio rested his elbows on the flying carpet, leisurely passing by the colorful signs on both sides as if on a spring outing. He said regretfully, "I was planning to visit each one, but now I can't."
"Give me a break!" Jin Sichen's eyes were glued to his screen, his fingers swiping incessantly. "There are over 20,000 registered shops in Wanxinghui City. Are you going to visit them all? Ha!" Just as the two were about to start arguing again, Qi Mai suddenly spoke up from behind: "So where are we going next? Straight to the Adaptation Bureau?"
The adaptation bureau is not in Wanxinghui City.
Jin Sichen has found the official introduction and read it out to everyone.
"The Myriad Stars Adaptation Bureau specializes in handling the special needs of various civilizations, from adjusting the temperature of the habitat for silicon-based life forms to coordinating temporary docking permissions for interstellar spacecraft... Well, to summarize, it's an official agency for issuing and accepting missions. Any group or individual registered with the Star Hub Ring can accept or issue missions here. The Adaptation Bureau takes a certain percentage of credit points as an intermediary fee..."
"It's like the Adventurer's Guild!" Antonio shook his head and clicked his tongue. "But who asked you that? Where's your mecha operator's license?"
"What's the rush?" Jin Sichen glared at him through his sunglasses. "The Adaptation Bureau is proactively adapting to the development needs of the Xinghu Ring. They've set up adaptation stations in crowded places like Wanxinghui City to facilitate the rapid reception and dispatch of tasks... Also, within the bureau, they've set up special adaptation windows for popular and large businesses to facilitate quick consultation and processing of targeted business needs... One of them is the Mecha Operator License. Let me take a look..."
Jin Sichen was so tired after reading a bunch of high-sounding alien texts that he decided to just read it himself first.
Lin Fan watched him swipe across the translucent screen, dozens of lines of text flashing by. She couldn't make out anything.
"Why don't you look at the address! The navigation! Do you know how to do it? If not, I'll do it." Antonio muttered and opened his terminal.
"I've discovered that both the Wanxing Hui City and the Adaptation Bureau seem to have some intermediary nature." Wu Yi saw that no one spoke for a moment, and felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly tried to find something to say.
"Rather than calling it an agency," a very suitable positioning suddenly appeared in Lin Fan's mind, "I feel that this place is more like a service area, the kind with scenery. It looks beautiful and upscale, but it can't hide its commercial nature."
"As for the transit planet," Lu Xinyuan continued, "it's indeed similar to a service area. Economic benefits should be the core foundation of this planet. However... I don't seem to have seen any armed forces here."
"Indeed." Guan Ying nodded. "Judging from the trading volume of Wanxing Hui City, the Xinghu Ring has a considerable turnover. But the security environment seems to be very good. I've been looking for patrols and guards, but so far, I haven't seen any."
"We're already in the interstellar space. Is it possible that all human labor has been replaced by robots?" Wu Yi asked. "But speaking of machines, I just noticed there don't seem to be any obvious cameras here. Could it be that the interstellar space has better surveillance equipment, so Skynet surveillance is no longer needed?"
"We still know too little," Qi Mai said solemnly. "It would be great if there was a place where we could quickly learn about the Star Ring. The current situation is that if we ask, it might easily arouse suspicion from outsiders. Even if we ask a robot, a robot in this environment... I suspect our question has already been submitted to their data terminal, combined with our information, and noted to Noah or Lanxing for analysis and positioning."
You can't blame him for thinking too much.
In fact, in the mecha shop, when the little robot was talking about the Wondershare adapter, it mentioned "analyzing the data based on the customers' questions"...
To be honest, interstellar technology has advanced to a point they can no longer comprehend. Artificial intelligence is far more lifelike than on Lanxing, and mechas can be controlled directly through neural connections. Who dares to underestimate the technology here?
"Why don't we go check out Yuehua's shop first?" Lin Fan suddenly said, "I wonder who has the upper hand between Yuehua and the Abandoned Hermit. After all these years, it should be over, right?"
"That's right." Lu Xinyuan smiled. "If we're lucky, there might be some abandoned hermits in the store. Maybe they'll remember how we helped Yin Ze find his hometown and answer our questions and solve our urgent problems."
Yuehua people's foreshadowing is here.
I planned this a long time ago. After waiting for so long, it’s finally time to go on stage and perform.
