Chapter 64: I, Zero
He had only met Mr. Andorf once on the day he joined the company, and Dong Chen's impression of him was between a strange old man and a serious scholar.
Since the contact time was still small, he had not yet felt the meaning of the "seriousness" spoken by the Great Elder and Mehya, but now that he saw him again, Mr. Andorf opened his mouth to greet him, and he was concerned about how he was doing, which made him feel even less serious.
After talking to Mr. Andover about his life and work in the past two days, Dong Chen asked directly about the matter of the Cult of Science and Technology, because he saw Andorf working in the office when he came in, so he didn't want to delay more time.
"Mr. Andorf, I saw a book about the Techno-God Cult in the library, and Xia also said that you are a senior engineer of the Techno-God Cult, so I would like to ask you something?"
Xia said that Principal Andorf likes to be called a teacher, so Dong Chen politely did so.
Hearing Dong Chen's question about the Cult of Science and Technology, the kind Andorf became serious, because he felt that this question would not be a trivial problem.
"What's the matter, asked?" Andorf asked briefly, seriously.
"That's right, Mr. Andorf," Dong Chen said after organizing his words, "I want to join the Cult of Science and Technology. ”
"I also read some materials in the library, and it seems that I just need to make inventions and wait for the approval of the Technocracy."
"I feel that I also have some wonderful ideas, if they can be realized well, they should be able to pass the recognition, so I also want to join the Cult of Science and Technology, I wonder if Mr. Andorf can give me some guidance?"
Dong Chen noticed that the clearer he spoke, the more serious Andorf's expression became, and even his brows furrowed in the end.
What's going on?
Does it feel like I'm bragging?
So my senses are getting worse and worse?
This...... Where to reason.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Andorf spoke, "Dong Chen, you think things too simply, the Sect of Science and Technology is not something you want to join. ”
"And are you going in the wrong direction, with your talent for multi-ethnic languages, it is right to become a clergy to spread the brilliance of the god of technology, rather than mixing in inventions that you are not good at."
“……”
"Actually, Mr. Andorf, that's right," Dong Chen explained speechlessly, "It's not my talent to be able to speak multi-racial languages, my real talent is still invention and creation, and I don't want to be a clergy who preaches, I want to be the kind that conducts scientific and technological research and development." ”
That's how he explained, but he found that after he finished speaking, Andolph still had the same expression, but his eyes were changed: Why are you so ignorant!
What else could Dong Chen say about this, so he had to reassure Andorf again and again: Multi-ethnic languages are really not talents, but honestly learned.
And it's not the only skill, it's just one in the skill tree, and there are other branches in his skill tree, and he doesn't want to be a universal translator.
After talking for a long time, Andorf finally believed that Dong Chen was not talking in vain, but he still persuaded, "Even so, it is not so easy to become a "technician" of the Cult of Science and Technology, first of all, you have to become a "reserve", which means that you must have an academic level above the reserve academy? ”
"It must also be within the prescribed knowledge recognized by the Cult of Science and Technology!"
"What do you mean? Do you still want to get a certificate? Or am I going back to school? Dong Chen looked confused.
"That's not necessary."
That's great.
In fact, the "student" stage is just a process of accumulating knowledge, and it is not necessary to enter the college, the college is only one of the learning channels, and there are many people who can obtain knowledge through other channels, such as self-study, tutoring, mentoring and so on. ”
Andorf explained to Dong Chen, "The Church of Science and Technology holds regular assessments, as long as you pass the assessment, you can get the quota of the "reserve". ”
"With the quota of the reserve, you can make inventions and create, and after the Cult of Science and Technology determines that your new invention and new item has actual value, it will give you points, and when the points are enough for 100%, you can officially become a "technician". ”
"Primary, of course."
"I say that, do you understand?"
After Andorf finished speaking, he looked at Dong Chen again and said seriously, "It's not that you just get a random thing, even if it is invented, even if it is really new, if it has no practical use, it will still not give you points." ”
"Understood, understood," Dong Chen nodded happily, "Teacher Andorf said very clearly, I completely understand!" ”
"I don't think you get it at all!"
Andorf knocked on the table solemnly, "Just talking about the content of the assessment, how long does it take you to learn, that is the knowledge that ordinary students need to learn for more than ten years." ”
"Even if you have a foundation before, even if you learn fast, you will have to study for a few years, right?"
"After you get the "reserve" place, you still have to invent and create, which is very difficult! ”
"It's not two thousand years ago, there was nothing at that time, a lot of things need to be invented, now our civilization has developed to a very high level, although there are infinite possibilities in the future, but if you want to innovate, it is not easy, collect enough 100 points, how many years do you need?"
“……”
There is nothing wrong with these words, and they go straight to the point.
However, this is all for normal people, and Dong Chen is just wrong...... It's different, so these things shouldn't be a big problem for him.
But Dong Chen is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, knowing that Andolph seems to be the face of the Great Elder for his good, and he doesn't want him to become a high-minded person.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Andorf might not have paid attention to him, after all, except for the relationship of the Great Elder, they really have no relationship of a dime.
With this meeting, they only met twice in total, and the combined time was less than an hour, that is, they knew that the Great Elder attached great importance to Dong Chen, so he treated Dong Chen a little better and gave some help.
In this case, it was good for Dong Chen to get some help, and he also achieved today's goal and knew some details.
In fact, compared to the lip service, Dong Chen is a real man of action.
"I see, Mr. Andorf, thank you."
Dong Chen seriously expressed his gratitude and said, "After I go back, I will study the knowledge of the "cadet" stage and strive to get the "reserve" quota as soon as possible. ”
"That's right, young people still have to be more down-to-earth," Andolph saw that Dong Chen finally had a correct attitude, knowing that this young man could still be saved, so he smiled and said, "Later, I will ask Xia to give you a list of books, which I have drawn up for you according to your situation." ”
"You don't need to read some books that are language or unimportant, after all, as an adult, some things don't need to be learned, and you can read them directly in the library management, and if you don't have them in the library, you need to go to the book market to buy them."
"Yes, Mr. Andorf." Dong Chen replied honestly.
"Well, since you call me teacher, then you can ask me if you don't understand anything, I said before that you don't want you to develop other aspects, just let you have a correct attitude."
As he spoke, Andorf wrote a few big words on a piece of paper, and then asked Dong Chen as if he thought of something, "By the way, my personal major is mechanical design and manufacturing, and the book list I wrote for you will definitely be biased towards these, are you okay?" ”
"No problem, Mr. Andorf, I have zero foundation, I will learn whatever you write!"
