Qi Heng played...
Chapter 294
Feng Qi walked into the classroom with his hair wet but not dripping with water, and found that the tiered classroom with more than 200 people was almost full.
Yan Hong, who had arrived early and sat down, saw him and waved at him, indicating that there was an empty seat next to him.
Feng Qi walked over and sat down.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. We're in the same dormitory, so this is as it should be."
"By the way, remember to connect your terminal to the classroom network. Class time is almost up." Yan Hong turned on the smart screen embedded in the desktop for him.
Feng Qi nodded and operated it with some unfamiliarity.
The terminal was connected to the classroom network and then to the smart screen on the desktop, and a stack of books was projected directly in three dimensions in front of him.
Feng Qi:——!
Why are there so many? He touched it, and the projection of the pile of books disappeared, replaced by a scroll with book titles written on it.
When I opened the paper scroll, I saw a long table of contents that seemed to have no end in sight.
"Aren't we here for our first class today?"
Yan Hong, who had stayed behind to help him clear the plates today, smiled and pointed to the smart screen in front of him. "Yes, based on what I just explored, these are the contents of this course."
"It's not clear whether it's all of them."
Yan Hong tapped the desktop with his fingertips, and the name of the course appeared on the screen - "Interstellar Military: Basic Applications".
Everyone is facing a similar situation.
There are only a few minutes left until class starts.
Occasionally, a few female insects would come hurriedly and then be called to sit down. When it seemed that there were no empty seats, the class bell rang.
As the bell rang, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure walked into the classroom.
What was familiar was the military uniform, which they had seen on their own instructor not long ago. What was unfamiliar was that the person who came to teach them was the chief instructor, from whom they had only heard a few words of instruction today.
Chu Xiu walked to the podium and stood still. Noticing their movements, he said, "It seems like you've adapted well."
"But today is our first class, so what you are going to learn is not what you see in front of you." Chu Xiu pressed a touch button on the podium.
The next moment, all the smart screens in front of the students went out and returned to shutdown mode.
Chu Xiu turned around and wrote his name on the blackboard. He put away the pen in his hand and said, "First class for freshmen. Let's get to know each other and set the rules for the class."
"Then, I'll introduce you to your seniors..."
Having said that, Chu Xiu paused and changed the subject.
"I introduced myself during training this morning, so you should still remember my name."
"I'm Chu Xiu, and I'll be your instructor for the course 'Interstellar Military: Basic Applications.'"
"There are five classes here, with 250 students, and none of them are training classes led by me."
"However, we still have a long time to get to know each other. I hope that everyone will study hard in the upcoming courses and cherish this hard-earned learning opportunity."
"After all...it's not easy to create a suitable environment for learning in the current environment of Tianyun Star."
Chu Xiu walked to the front of the podium and glanced at all the female insects present with a calm expression.
"Everyone, please stand."
All the female insects stood up, feeling uneasy because they didn't know what would happen next.
Then, the next second they all stood up.
They saw the chief instructor raise his hand and salute them with a solemn expression.
"First lesson, first period. Stand up and salute before class. This is the tradition of the Imperial Military Academy."
**
Nine o'clock in the evening.
After class, Feng Qi walked towards the dormitory with heavy steps. He spent three hours basically in history class.
The ten thousand year history of Tianjia civilization cannot be fully condensed into three hours, so the chief instructor of the early and middle history only talked about the key points.
The only thing that is discussed in detail is the history of the end of civilization ten thousand years ago.
Feng Qi was not completely ignorant of this part of history. They had learned some of it when they were learning to read.
However, after all, literacy education focuses on rapid literacy, and only briefly touches on content such as history. More understanding comes from the story time on the radio and the occasional video that can be watched.
This is the first time that we have a systematic understanding of history.
After explaining some classroom discipline issues, the chief instructor mentioned the history of the military academy to them and said that they are now the same as the military academy students in the past.
The training camp is not a perfect school. They receive military training in the training camp, and the main focus is on learning. Don't think too much about other things.
Even a brief account of the history of the late Tianjia civilization was enough to make Feng Qi feel sad and grief-stricken.
After all, although they could only glimpse the prosperity of the former civilization from video images and Chu Xiu's words, they were actually living in the "future" after the destruction of Tianjia civilization.
Therefore, the word "empathy" is most appropriate for them.
The Tianjia Zerg, who are raised like domestic animals, know nothing about their past. They don't know where they came from when they were born, and they don't know where they will go after they die. From birth to death, they are like mayflies, living and dying in the same day.
Occasionally, they leave the place where they are raised and go to the outside world, but they are under heavy suppression and defense and cannot truly escape the cage.
They just live in a daze, without any expectations for the future, which is also what the victors of the Star Alliance hope for.
To change all this.
Feng Qi thought about himself and his family and friends around him and decided that he couldn't continue to go with the flow like this.
The appearance of the gray fog is a ray of morning light amidst the darkness, but if we truly want to change the current state of our race, to ensure that our next generation will no longer be sold as slaves and return to the past, the gray fog alone is not enough!
Only they themselves can change the current situation and prevent the tragedies that happened to them from happening again to other female insects.
This is also the significance of the chief instructor telling them history.
Learn from history, learn how to become stronger and restore the order and good life of the past.
Feng Qi pursed his lips, thinking about what the chief instructor had said at the end of the class, some information about the current situation of Tianyun Star, which was information they had never known before.
Through this, they learned some relevant information about the 'Gray Mist' that had been helping them over the past few months.
A few months ago, a senior codenamed member of the Gray Mist arrived in the Lost Star Sector and first settled on their home planet, Tianyun Star - this was good luck for all the Zerg on Tianyun Star.
Because of the appearance of gray fog, the life of the Tianjia Zerg on Tianyun Star has improved a lot.
The one-horned man who used to be above them has lost his right to act tyrannically, and the cubs that were taken away by the Ikal civilization on the last Falling Star Day have also been rescued safely, but it is temporarily inconvenient to send them back to reunite with them.
At gathering place No. 2, new and positive changes are taking place every moment.
I heard that Gray Mist is also helping out at Gathering Place No. 1, but due to a lack of manpower, they can't do much.
However, this did not mean they would just ignore it. Gray Mist was also actively working to resolve the problems encountered by the Zerg at Settlement No. 1. Many of the methods that had been tried and proved effective at Settlement No. 2 would also be used at Settlement No. 1.
In addition, the exploration of several other planets in the Lost Star Zone where the Tianjia Zerg may exist began half a month ago.
The training they receive now and every bit of knowledge they acquire may help their fellow races on other planets in the future. For example, the "rescue operation" mentioned by the chief instructor requires an interstellar deep space voyage.
There are not many members inside the gray fog, and it is impossible to rescue all the Tianjia Zergs on one hand, so they are needed.
Feng Qi walked into the dormitory, lay on the bed and stared at the upper bunk in a daze.
Actually, it's not Gray Mist who needs them, that's the opposite... It's clearly them who need 'Gray Mist'. If I had the chance, I really want to meet the gentleman codenamed 'Doctor'.
Judging from the actions, thoughts, and intentions of Mr. Doctor and Gray Mist, this existence, who provided help without asking for anything in return, and showed selfless dedication, earned their sincere respect and admiration.
…
Medical center, inside the doctor's duty room.
Qi Heng leaned back in his chair, listening to the chirping cubs on the other end of the video call, and touched his itchy nose.
I feel like sneezing.
What happened tonight?
"Okay, okay, I know your brother played with you all day." He glanced at the time and interrupted the insect cub who was still eager to continue sharing his daily life with him.
"But it's getting late, shouldn't you go to bed?"
Qi Xi lay on the soft velvet carpet, hugging a pillow that looked like his brother's, pretending to be stupid.
"It's not late at all, it's obviously still early."
"I haven't even met my female father yet, and I haven't said good night to her yet." Qi Xi pinched the pillow in his arms, his expression puffed up.
"I haven't seen my sire all day. Don't you even say goodnight?"
"And why can't I contact my mother-father?!" Qi Xi said this anxiously, "Youyou said something about signal blocking. Why would my mother-father block Xizi's communication?"
"I didn't just block you."
"He blocked all external communications. Unless it's a special channel, your father won't be able to receive it."
It can be considered as treating everyone equally. The local area network and the external network are different. It was agreed that it was a closed training. Chu Xiu couldn't take the lead in violating the rules.
"What--"
"Could it be that you can't contact Xiong's father either?"
Qi Xi jumped up in shock, and only then realized the key point: "No, then I will never be able to contact my female father!!!"
Qi Heng raised an eyebrow, and seeing the cub's shocked look, he said, "Of course I can."
“QAQ.”
"Then only Xizi can't do that. Youyou said he can also contact the female father."
Seeing that the kid was about to cry, Qi Heng stopped teasing him and whispered a few words of comfort.
"Your father should have just finished class at this time."
"Wait a minute, when he gets back to where he lives, contact me and ask him to chat with you for a few minutes. Is that okay?"
He thought, not only was the kid very clingy, but Chu Xiu might not be comfortable with Qi Xi being alone either.
Qi Xi is with Qi Lan now, and I am not with them. The sum of their ages is a negative number, which is really worrying.
Qi Xi suddenly leaned forward, his entire face pressed against the camera, his eyes shining.
"That's great."
"Then I'll wait here, female father. Male father, you are not allowed to hang up."
"Um."
Qi Heng sent a message to Chu Xiu, and then received a new communication request a short while later. As expected, it was from Chu Xiu.
He connected Chu Xiu's communication request to his video call with Qi Xi, so that they could have a three-way video chat.
