An Unbelievable Conjecture

(A 3,000-word chapter is presented.)

"Hey, how do I sign my name here?"

"What, Mu Fan, are you interested in this?"

"Yes!" Mu Fan made no attempt to hide his desire for the glory that belonged to a warrior.

"Besides the techniques presented in images, there are also some theoretical skills stored here. The conditions for using these skills are either extremely harsh or cannot be verified at the moment."

"Over the years, the only way to add a new signature is to consider these aspects. Another option is to contribute the techniques I've mastered to the academy."

Oh, I see. Well, let's put that aside for now.

Time is precious now, and there are just too many skills; Mu Fan simply cannot choose so many.

You must select two or three main skills to learn, and then master them in the training room provided by your mentor, Xu Jiang, before you can consider the next step.

"First, check if there are any suitable mecha moves in the C-level permission zone. If not, then consider going to the B-level permission zone."

Mu Fan kept looking down.

Ground State Spiral Punch, Alva Punch Cannon, Miles High-Altitude Bombardment, Sonic Hound Strike

The names of various moves, accompanied by extremely short animations, flashed past his eyes, dazzling him. However, considering his own situation, it was difficult for Mu Fan to find a move that he felt he had a strong need for at first glance.

For example, the operation of Extreme Soldier is mostly carried out through Body Coordination devices.

The Great Lightning Owl is a fully-fledged Cich body direct connection system.

Shura, on the other hand, is in a state of strong synchronization of neurons throughout his body, including the neural connections at the back of his brain.

Therefore, it is difficult to find a skill like the Disordered Folding Step that can improve one's performance in any situation.

"Aren't there any moves that are universally applicable?"

Mu Fan muttered to himself.

His finger, which was swiping downwards, suddenly stopped because he saw a very interesting name, and there was a mark after the name—

[To be eliminated]!

The name of this skill is really interesting: "The Soglier's Unbelievable Conjecture - Key Arrangement Method".

Moreover, Mu Fan discovered that after his finger hovered over the paper, all that appeared was a yellowed paper image with a few words written crookedly on it.

That is the name of this skill.

The accompanying electronic note reads, "[The Soglier's Unbelievable Conjecture Series, created by Soglier, a student from the 217th Ottop Race from the Beyond Domain Star River]."

Mu Fan read on naturally following the prompts: "The Ottop Race, different from humans, has six fingers on each hand. Soglier was born with an extra finger on his left hand, and as an outstanding student of the 217th Mecha Academy, his talent in mech combat is astonishing, given that he has 13 fingers."

"Upon graduation, he was certified as a high-ranking pilot. Three years later, he participated in the border defense war of the Federation - Yiluo Star System, during which he repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on enemy Mecha Unit and was certified as the number one newly promoted ace pilot in 225. Later, in 227, he was ambushed and killed while advancing deep into enemy territory with a transport ship."

"The Soglier mech operation series he left behind during the war was named the ' Soglier's Unbelievable Conjecture Series' by the Academy because these moves are extremely magical, usable on the full keyboard control panel, and can even be enhanced in the state of limb coordination. As the first genius from the Ottop Race in fifty years, Soglier contributed all his experience to the Academy after growing into an ace pilot."

"However, it is regrettable that these operation methods are simply not applicable to humans. At the time, experiments conducted by multiple pilots and senior instructors all failed. It was found that many operations required pressing 13 fingers simultaneously. To trigger 13 key travels simultaneously within 0.05 seconds, a human would have to have three fingers simultaneously performing two operations with intervals of less than 0.01 seconds within 0.02 seconds. Due to its absolute application barrier, it was deemed to be obsolete, but it was remembered for the founder's enormous contributions."

"Advanced moves in the Soglier Series, accessible with B-level access."

"The Soglier's Unbelievable Conjecture - Key Arrangement Method" is the foundation of all Soglier Series operations. When operating it, the keys should be pressed like waves, often several rows of keys are pressed at the same time. For detailed records, please go to the physical bookshelf area C89 on the sixth floor to check the Soglier paper notes, number CSG-22154.

After finally finishing reading the text following the picture, Mu Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

It turns out the origin of this move is quite unusual.

Mu Fan initially wanted to give up, but the bizarre story and the last three words "Key Arrangement Method" piqued his interest.

This is the only move we've seen so far that's named after a console operation method.

The following only states that the required APM is 240...

This is probably based on Soglier's thirteen-fingered state.

If a normal person wants to use ten fingers to simultaneously trigger the keys of thirteen fingers, then the APM (aperture point per second) simply cannot be calculated using common sense.

"Black, plan the route for area C89."

"Don't tell me you chose this weird thing. This is a move that even the library's database doesn't have a proper demonstration video for."

"Let me take a look first," Mu Fan noncommittally.

"Human curiosity is truly incomprehensible. Alright, hurry up, there's an auxiliary reader in section C89 that can zoom in and out of paper documents. Remember to touch it with your wristwatch while reading," Hei sighed first, then urged impatiently.

"Then why are you so agitated?" Mu Fan asked, puzzled.

"Am I excited? Am I? It's just a thirst for knowledge and curiosity!" Black explained excitedly.

What a cunning and arrogant intelligent life form! It clearly wants to watch, but pretends to be indifferent...

Mu Fan was too lazy to expose Hei's tricks, so he simply followed the route to area C89.

From the world of technology, we step back into the environment of nature.

Mu Fan looked at the tall bookshelves and stepped onto a floating platform on the ground.

"It's the 32nd book from the left on the 17th shelf."

Guided by the darkness, the suspension board carried Mu Fan to this position.

30, 31, 32, that's the book.

Seeing a black notebook with a leather cover, Mu Fan pulled it out.

Then, controlling the hoverboard to slowly land, Mu Fan pulled out an auxiliary reader from the convenient reading station next to him.

With the extension of the folded metal frame, Mu Fan unfolded the thin reading frame and placed the notebook on it.

Each page of the yellowed, old paper, sealed in plastic, was clearly presented to Mu Fan after color calibration and detail restoration on the reader screen.

At the same time, Mu Fan's left hand was placed on top of it, and this information was naturally synchronized into Hei's field of vision.

As Mu Fan flipped through the pages, he saw neat rows of notes written in the Common Federation script.

Moreover, by the time you turn to the third page, you'll find hand-drawn console key layouts.

The dense markings made Mu Fan dizzy.

Fortunately, Hei seemed to enjoy watching these things. No matter how complicated the task was, as long as it required time, it wasn't complicated for Hei.

Simplifying complexity is the very essence of artificial intelligence.

[Regarding the Key Arrangement Method, this is a method I've been experimenting with since I enrolled in school. I didn't want to waste my three fingers, even if it made me an oddball among my peers. I wanted to find a path that suited me, so I came to Dingchuan to study! Thankfully, I finally succeeded!]

[Thanks to the academy for naming it after me. The basic training movement for the Key Arrangement Method requires all thirteen fingers to simultaneously trigger the key travel, taking a 178-key console as an example...]

Following this was a series of combinations of numbers and letters. As Mu Fan flipped through the pages, he discovered that all the notes were in this code format, combining letters and numbers.

"No wonder it wasn't recorded. Simply putting it in there wouldn't be any comprehension. Look at this text, it even specifically emphasizes that this is a unique console key mapping method developed by myself. Since I don't know what 12 fingers feel like, I didn't specifically optimize a solution suitable for 12 fingers."

Mu Fan pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

But as Mu Fan turned to the next page and another piece of text came into view, Hei's voice suddenly rang out. "Mu Fan, wait!"

Mu Fan's fingers suddenly stopped, and he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The dark voice said urgently, "You saw the introduction in the electronics section before. The reason why the Soglier conjecture is called an impossible key operation method is because if a normal person operates according to his theory, their muscles simply cannot withstand the stretching speed of the muscles between their fingers."

Mu Fan said in confusion, "Yes."

"That's the official statement. If we look at what you just looked at, the same thing would happen even if we simulated it on a machine."

"So what do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that I have really... discovered some incredible secrets, and I need your help to confirm them!" The black voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"What's the meaning?"

"Look around carefully, is anyone else there? I've fixed the camera angle for you, so it can't capture what you're watching."

"There's no one around."

Mu Fan glanced around and said with certainty.

"Now watch carefully, remember to look at the area I marked after I enabled ORC recognition, and make sure your watch stays firmly against the instrument."

Once Mu Fan's left hand stabilized, a miraculous scene began to unfold.

The scanned images, which were originally being flipped through page by page, are now flipped back to the first page and then switched at a fixed frequency.

When each image appears, Mu Fan discovers that the black screen uses ORC recognition to list the letters and numbers in a fixed number of positions on each page, and then rotates and arranges them in a certain order.

As you turn the pages, rows of text form.

Mu Fan now felt like he was reading a book written in a foreign language; he understood nothing about it at all.

"Mu Fan, there's a problem with this text. It should be a unique script of the Ottop Race. What you see completely overlaps with the Federation's script, meaning these characters are both the Federation's common script and the Ottop Race's common script..."

"Keep turning the pages."

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan flipped through the notebook again, which was already halfway through. The old pages rustled as scanned images and individual texts recognized by ORC were extracted.

Hei continued, "So, what you're seeing now has two meanings! One is the surface meaning, and the other is... what he really wanted to express. If I hadn't entered the cultural information of the Ottop Race into the network, I wouldn't have been able to discover this hidden arrangement order."

After more than ten seconds, Mu Fan turned to the last page, and Hei's incredulous voice suddenly rang out:

"Oh My God!"

"He is actually passing on the legacy of his race in another form."
