Lin Mo, a socially awkward engineering student, only wants to quietly tune his little plane at the model aircraft club. Then his computer suddenly blue-screens, and a minimalist app called “CASU: Civilization Leap Basic Support Library” quietly appears. Thinking it’s an advanced programming assistant, he casually asks, “How can I make my drone fly longer?” Instantly, blueprints for a micro fuel cell far beyond current technology smack him right in the face.
Lin Mo: “??? This virus... is kind of intense!”
And so Lin Mo’s “instruction manual” System goes online. CASU is a super AI with unbelievably powerful functions, but rigid logic and no emotions. It has no missions or conspiracies. It simply answers Lin Mo’s wild questions with pinpoint accuracy, or offers optimization advice based on its environmental scans, along with all sorts of “nitpicky” warnings about exceeding safety limits.
And so things get increasingly absurd:
The dorm Wi-Fi is lagging? Mod a discarded router with a microwave, and the whole campus Wi-Fi takes off! When the network center comes asking, Lin Mo laughs awkwardly. “Feng shui... it’s definitely the feng shui of the router’s position!”
Want to build a more powerful engine? With CASU’s micrometer-level guidance, the lab’s busted 3D printer churns out a “Hall thruster” that makes small objects hover eerily! When the power trips and everything goes dark, Lin Mo says, “Static electricity! It’s static!” His bespectacled senior student nods. “Yeah, this static... has some real power.”
Need a catalyst? The glowing colonies grown in a secondhand yogurt maker casually decompose his roommate’s stinky socks! Lin Mo: “Where are my socks?!”
Want to build an anti-gravity skateboard? CASU: “Warning! Risk level too high! Recommend completing Basic Materials Science Lv. 3 first.” Lin Mo: “...System, are you my mom?”
The title of the book says that black technology loves to teach. In fact, it just gives drawings and recipes without any principles, and then the protagonist makes the finished product.
Real and objective, I like it very much
I can't understand how the protagonist's golden finger is used.
I feel like it was written by a man from science and engineering 🤦
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
