Earth, 100 years of the Black Iron Period.

As the era of the Black Iron Age, achieving contribution value is the key to development.

In the interstellar mecha storm where Bai Yu died fighting for the Empire, an alien ship from the Bronze Age was shot down and crashed on Earth.

The earthlings, who had originally developed according to the ordinary trajectory, seized this opportunity to dissect the mecha ship, studied it for almost two hundred years, and finally made the first set of their own mecha. The mecha industry has developed exponentially.

Since then, the Sanctuary Interstellar Alliance has announced that the Earth has entered the Black Iron Age, and an intelligent branch of the Sanctuary Intelligence Brain has been sent to control the contribution value of all mecha on the Earth.

There are several ways to obtain contribution points, one is to publish research articles, that is, the kind that Bai Yu publishes in the mecha paper journal forum, and a review robot is responsible for reviewing, and the corresponding contribution value will be rewarded after passing.

There is also relying on attention to increase the contribution value, that is, to accumulate fans, a fan value can be converted into a contribution value, but this is more difficult, unless you are a star in a certain region.

In addition, there are also those who rely on mecha fighting events to obtain contribution points, and the higher the event achievement, the greater the contribution point return.

In addition, there are many ways to obtain contribution points, but most of them are difficult to achieve, and the above three are the easiest to obtain at the moment.

As a graduate of the Mecha Academy, publishing research articles is the fastest and most primitive shortcut, and the more brutal way is to participate in various fighting events to gain a violent increase in contribution points.

As for accumulating fans to win contribution points, most people can't do it, and those who can really do it are basically big stars, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's rare.

For individuals, there are two kinds of greatest use after the contribution points are obtained, one is to directly exchange them for Lianyuan and become the most wealthy person, and the second is to accumulate them and use them to impact the mecha rank.

Normally, the higher the rank of the mecha obtained, the more it can show a person's status and attract a steady stream of wealth.

But for most people at the bottom, these are extravagant expectations.

When I woke up, I had slept for almost a day and a night.

Bai Yu, who was fully rested, felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot after getting up, and his head was not so dizzy.

After taking a few more pills, turning on the self-heating heat energy instant noodles, after eating a few bites, Bai Yu felt that his mind was much clearer, and his strength had recovered a little again.

At this time, the cat's black is nowhere to be found, its secret strongholds are many, and as a mysterious creature like a cat, even Bai Yu, the owner, can't know its exact daily movements. It always returns by eight o'clock in the evening anyway.

Bai Yu cleaned the house, looked at the time, and went out to the Shao family convenience store opposite, Shao Kai was watching a live mecha fighting match at this time, the scene was intense, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he didn't even notice Bai Yu walking in.

"Brother Shao, can you please lend me your Xingxun bracelet?"

Shao Kai raised his head, and then came back to his senses: "Oh, how are you doing?" Well, what do you want the bracelet for? Then he remembered that Bai Yu's bracelet had been given by himself yesterday.

He also believed that Bai Yu was a person, a prospective graduate of a second-rate mecha academy, how bad could it be?

Disconnected from the biological connection to the Xingxun bracelet, and handed the bracelet to Bai Yu: "Don't go far, someone will contact me for delivery in a while." ”

Bai Yu didn't walk away, just stood there, put the bracelet on his wrist, and the screen immediately showed that a biological connection was in progress.

After a while, the connection was complete.

Bai Yu opened his personal account and looked at it, it was still a big zero, and there was no contribution value in the account, so he couldn't help but say to himself: "I can't imagine that the efficiency of the mecha paper journal forum is so low?" ”

"What did you say?" Shao Kai raised his head and asked, but his attention was still in the live mecha fighting event.

"Nothing." Bai Yu took off the bracelet and gave it back to him, "Brother Shao likes mecha fighting so much, why don't you practice by yourself?" If you don't have anything to do, you can play two games and earn some contribution points. ”

Shao Kai smiled embarrassedly: "My body, let alone controlling mechas, is tired like a dead dog when I move a few goods." ”

Out of the convenience store, the sun just peeked out of the clouds, the warm sunlight shone down, the body was very comfortable, Bai Yu just stood like this, bathed in the sun, in a reverie.

Every cell in the body seemed to come alive at this moment, and the soul of the Imperial Ace Mecha Master was ready to move, as if there was a force that wanted to find a breakthrough to break out.

The place where Bai Yu is located at the moment is the C domain of Annan District, and each district contains four domains.

Among them, the residents of domain A are the richest, followed by domain B, and domain C is more chaotic, most of them are ordinary people or poor, and the economy is relatively poor, while domain D is the bottom society, the most mixed, some honest people living in domain D hope to move to domain C, at least to stay away from the evil forces, so as not to be afraid for a day.

Because the rent in domain C is relatively cheap, Bai Yu chose to live here, and the mecha parts manufacturer he interned at before happened to have a production branch in domain B in Annan District, and it takes fifty minutes to arrive by public hovercar, and the fare between the two places is still within the range that Bai Yu's economic conditions can afford.

The headquarters of the Mecha Paper Journal Forum is the richest area A in Annan District, which is also under the jurisdiction of Annan District, and is considered the largest paper publishing unit in the district.

The forum has to review thousands of research articles submitted and uploaded every day, with a wide variety and uneven quality, and the original articles are manually reviewed, which is quite a headache, until the review robot is mass-produced, and finally frees the human reviewers.

Nowadays, the review bot is extremely efficient, and even though the number of articles submitted and uploaded increases dramatically every day, it can still complete the review and give accurate conclusions within 24 hours.

Although there are a large number of articles, because there is no threshold and anyone can upload them, many of them are waste manuscripts, that is, manuscripts that cannot even reach the entry level.

After the review bot screens out the rejected manuscripts, it will push the approved manuscripts to the corresponding sub-forums of the forum in the form of posts. If the article is of high quality, it will be recommended directly to the front page of the forum.

The quality of the manuscript is divided into entry, ordinary, advanced, etc. according to the grade, and if it is an entry-level article, you can get 1 point of contribution value reward, which will be automatically transferred to the person's personal account. It can be exchanged for 100 yuan.

If the quality of the article is ordinary, you will get a 10-point contribution point reward, which can be exchanged for 1,000 yuan. If it is an advanced level, the reward is 50 contribution points, which is 5,000 yuan if you want to convert it into a joint dollar, which is not a small cost in today's society.

Earning 5,000 yuan for one article is not something that an ordinary Mecha Academy student can achieve.

Xin Zi is the supervisor of manual review management of this paper journal forum, and although she has fully used the review robot in the review of manuscripts, she still needs further review to determine the implementation of operations such as refinement, popularity, and pinning of posts.

In other words, there is a review robot for the preliminary review, and the important operations still need to be determined manually. This avoids a lot of the heavy lifting of manual review.

Most of the article posts uploaded today are malnourished, hovering between beginner and ordinary, with the occasional entry post.

At this time, Xin Zi will not hesitate to refine it and choose to display it in a prominent position on the homepage.

But such articles are so rare that Xin Zi sometimes begins to wonder if the district should put forward a bill to the Federal Council to prevent current students from submitting research articles to the forum.

"The quality is so poor."

Xin Zi stroked a slightly curly light yellow hair, her white wrist supported her pointed white chin, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she stared at the light curtain in front of her.

Even some articles on the homepage of the forum, in Xin Zi's opinion, do not meet the conditions for refinement at all, at least the popularity is completely insufficient.

After a while, another prompt message on the home page jumped out from the lower right corner, Xin Zi's eyes moved down, and he scanned it roughly, and saw that the name of this article was "Discussion on the Relationship between the Volume Ratio and Consumption of the Mecha Protocrystal System".

The name is quite long, but in her opinion, it lacks appeal.

Without clicking on this article to check it, Xin Zi stretched slightly, left the desk, and went to the café to get himself a cup of tequila from Adener. On the way, I chatted with my colleagues for a while before returning to my desk and sitting down.

The message that popped up in the lower right corner of the light curtain was still there, indicating that no one's articles had appeared on the front page of the forum again during the time she had been away.

Taking a sip of the coffee that was still slightly hot, Xin Zi suddenly looked stunned and looked carefully at the bottom of the news. There is a display of the number of threads on the article, which is increasing at the moment, and the number of jumps is constantly increasing.

The number of posts displayed has exceeded 200.

"How long has it been since there have been so many followers? I'm afraid I haven't even read the ordinary article. ”

Xin Zi began to wonder if the person who posted this post had invited a water army, but it was impossible to hide the sharp eyes of the review robot. Under the review of bots, there has never been such a special case.

"An article that enters the class, it is impossible to have so many posts in a short period of time!"

Surprised, Xin Zi put down the coffee, clicked on the post, and read it carefully.

Slowly, her expression changed from initial confusion to surprise, and then there was a faint hint of shock, and she hurriedly finished reading this article that was not large, and hurriedly looked at the rating given by the audit robot at the bottom, and the whole person was instantly stunned.

"Bachelor's level!"
