The research results in Chapter 8 are out.
After lunch, Zhou Jue eagerly asked Cheng Gan, "Captain Cheng, what are we doing this afternoon? Are we continuing?"
"Afternoon?" Cheng Gan checked the time. "Let's go find Jiu Chou. This afternoon, Staff Officer Chen will arrange for him to teach you other knowledge."
The two arrived at Sun Jiuchou's office.
"Xiao Jue, Cheng Gan, why are you here so early?" Sun Jiuchou looked up at them.
“Teacher Sun, I have finished learning everything I was supposed to learn,” Zhou Jue said.
"Finished learning?" Sun Jiuchou asked in confusion. "It's only been a morning."
“She’s a monster.” Cheng Gan shook his head. “Her marksmanship is better than mine, and she’s even learned how to prepare a simple explosive charge. I can’t teach her anymore.”
Sun Jiuchou pushed up his glasses. "That's an exaggeration?"
"Try it if you don't believe me." Cheng Gan pointed to the shooting range outside. "Xiao Jue, are you interested in showing off your skills to Jiu Chou?"
Zhou Jue listened with great interest, having just learned how to fire a gun and was in high spirits.
Ten minutes later, Sun Jiuchou also sat down in a chair, his expression exactly the same as Cheng Gan's.
"A 200-meter moving target, 10 consecutive shots, all 10 rings." Sun Jiuchou muttered to himself, "Is this even possible for a human?"
“That’s why I say she’s a monster.” Cheng Gan shrugged.
"Shall we begin our theoretical studies ahead of schedule?" Sun Jiuchou asked.
“Okay.” Zhou Jue nodded.
“Today we’ll start by learning Sun Tzu’s Art of War.” Sun Jiuchou picked up a book. “Although you have a system and good marksmanship, your brain is the most important weapon.”
"The Art of War?" Zhou Jue asked doubtfully. "If I don't lead troops into battle, is this useful?"
“Of course it’s useful.” Sun Jiuchou pushed up his glasses. “The core of military strategy is not fighting, but strategy. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. When you arrive in another world, the first thing you need to do is understand the rules of that world, understand the distribution of power in that world, and then formulate appropriate strategies.”
"It sounds complicated."
“Let’s not get bogged down in details. We’ll start with the basics.” Sun Jiuchou opened the book. “For example, there’s a principle in military strategy called ‘avoiding the strong and attacking the weak,’ which means avoiding the enemy’s strengths and attacking their weaknesses.”
"I understand."
"Then think about it again. If you arrived in a new world and found that there were many powerful forces, what should you do?"
Zhou Jue thought for a moment, "Should we find a weaker force to join?"
“That’s one approach, but not the best one,” Sun Jiuchou shook his head. “The best way is to observe and understand the relationships between the various forces, then find their points of conflict and profit from them.”
“I understand,” Zhou Jue nodded.
“Alright, let’s begin the first lesson.” Sun Jiuchou opened the book. “Sun Tzu said: War is a matter of vital importance to the State; a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.”
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening.
Sun Jiuchou also witnessed what a learning genius was like. Zhou Jue could memorize all the knowledge in the book after hearing it once, but his application of it was still a bit immature.
"That's all for today." Sun Jiuchou closed the book. "We'll continue tomorrow."
"Most of the books I arranged for you before were about strategy. Since you have such a good memory, you can take these books back and read them in your spare time."
Zhou Jue took the books and glanced at them: "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook," "The Militia Military Training Handbook," and "A Friend for Dual-Use Military and Civilian Personnel."
Zhou Jue: ...Ah~ These are the three legendary must-read books for time travel!
"Okay, I'll definitely memorize it all!" Zhou Jue chuckled and decided not to sleep tonight. How could I possibly sleep at such a young age! The feeling of knowledge flashing through my brain and being deeply etched into my memory is truly wonderful!
Just then, Chen Jianguo pushed the door open and came in. "Xiao Jue, how did your studies go today?"
"Uncle Chen, I've learned everything you taught me today!" Zhou Jue proudly exclaimed.
"Wow, that's amazing! I'll give you even more intensive training tomorrow!" Chen Jianguo's tone was like coaxing a child. He knew Zhou Jue was good at marksmanship and ammunition this morning, so could it be that he was also studying very hard this afternoon?
"Staff Officer Chen, I feel like I'm not training her, but rather she's undermining me," Cheng Gan sighed.
"What do you mean?" Chen Jianguo asked, puzzled.
“Xiao Jue is already a sharpshooter. He has even learned how to use explosives and has a photographic memory for theoretical knowledge,” Sun Jiuchou said. “There is still more than a day before the next time travel. I suggest that we increase our study of theoretical knowledge. No matter whether we need it for the time being, we can always use it if we learn it.”
Chen Jianguo looked at Zhou Jue, "Really?"
"Pretty much," Zhou Jue said modestly. "It's mainly because the effects of the Yinhua fruit are so good."
"So what do you want to do now?" Chen Jianguo asked.
"I want to see the test results," Zhou Jue said, looking at him expectantly.
Chen Jianguo laughed, "Perfect timing, that's exactly what I came to call you."
"Come with me."
Zhou Jue stood at the laboratory door, looking at the busy white coats inside, feeling a little uneasy.
"Xiao Jue, come in." Professor Deng, who wore thick glasses, waved to him.
The laboratory was filled with various instruments, and the plants Zhou Jue brought back were placed next to different testing devices. A huge display screen on the wall showed a dense array of data.
"Professor Deng, what were the results?" Zhou Jue asked.
Professor Deng excitedly pointed at the screen: "Xiao Jue, do you know what? These plants have completely overturned our understanding of biology!"
“This Yinhua fruit has a cellular structure completely different from any plant on Earth.” Professor Deng picked up a slice. “Look, these cell walls contain a substance we’ve never seen before, which we’ll tentatively name ‘Yinhua factor’.”
Zhou Jue leaned closer to take a look. "What's the use of this factor?"
"According to preliminary analysis, this factor can stimulate the potential of human cells, strengthen the stability of cell membranes, and improve the energy conversion efficiency of cells." Professor Deng pushed up his glasses. "Simply put, it makes people stronger and smarter. I suspect it can be used to treat Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, etc., but specific clinical trials are still needed."
"What about the Purple Light Grass?"
“Even more amazing!” another researcher chimed in. “The cells of this purple light grass contain a bio-battery structure that can directly convert light energy into electrical energy, with an efficiency that is 30 percent higher than our most advanced solar panels!”
Zhou Jue's mouth dropped open: "That's amazing?"
"And this Blue Abyss Lake water." The chemical expert walked over. "The water contains seventeen trace elements that do not exist on our planet. These elements can directly act on the human nervous system and quickly eliminate fatigue factors."
"The soil test results are also in." The geologist pointed to another device. "The mineral content of this red soil is more than ten times that of our Earth's soil, and it contains a special energy field that can promote plant growth."
Zhou Jue was completely confused, but he could sense the experts' excitement.
"Xiao Jue, your discovery this time is truly a world-changing discovery!" Professor Deng patted her on the shoulder. "If we can cultivate these plants in large quantities, human technology will experience a leap forward!"
