Xia Chujian widened his eyes and saw that there were five particularly bright stars in the existing star map of the Beichen Empire's territory.
The brightest star in the north is Beichen Star, which is the capital star of the Beichen Empire.
The southernmost star is the dimmest, Guiyuan Star, which is very far away from Beichen Star and is also at the most marginal position in the entire territory star map.
Because to its south is a dark and empty area, like the edge of the universe.
Between Beichen Star and Guiyuan Star, there are three stars of similar size, forming a tripod shape, spanning the space between Beichen Star and Guiyuan Star.
Then, in the middle of the star map of this territory, the huge dark area that seemed like an uninhabited area gradually began to light up with stars.
Each lit star represents a habitable planet.
Soon, the entire territory map was further compressed so that they could see the farther star map territory.
Yang Ling's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"...Why can the Beichen Empire use the name of the Beichen Star Region as its country name? It's because our Beichen Empire once owned more than 90% of the habitable planets in this star region!"
"According to scientists' findings, there are a total of sixty habitable planets in the entire Beichen star region."
"Once upon a time, fifty-four of these sixty planets belonged to the Beichen Empire!"
"But now, we only have five left! Five habitable planets!"
"Where did the other forty-nine habitable planets go? Tell me, where did the other forty-nine habitable planets go?!"
Yang Ling's voice echoed excitedly in the classroom, and everyone looked at each other.
Someone raised their hand and said cautiously, "According to the history we've learned, there are twenty-two planets that, due to changes in their environments, gradually became uninhabitable. The inhabitants of those planets migrated to other planets, and the uninhabited planets were left abandoned."
"Another twenty-seven planets were occupied by the later-rising Southern Cross Principality, the Western Manelli Federation, and the Eastern Sky-hara City-State."
"Among them, the Southern Cross Principality currently occupies the most habitable planets, a total of twelve. The Simonelli Federation is second, with a total of nine planets. And then there's the Eastern Sky Plain City-State, with a total of six..."
The man's voice became lower and lower, and everyone understood why.
His empire is called the "Beichen Empire", but it only has five habitable planets.
Other countries do not have a longer history than the Beichen Empire and were originally isolated in a corner, but now they occupy more habitable planets than the Beichen Empire.
They are all elite pilots of the Beichen Empire's interstellar fleet, and they all feel embarrassed when talking about it.
Xia Chujian whispered to Mao Yonggui, "...Didn't we nearly destroy the Principality of the Southern Cross? Why didn't we snatch back a few habitable planets?"
Mao Yonggui had an indescribable expression on his face, and sighed, "...What's the point of us winning? If the cabinet and the Senate don't want it, what can we do?"
Xia Chujian couldn't believe it: "No way?! You don't even want the spoils after winning! This is unlucky!"
While Xia Chujian and Mao Yonggui were whispering to each other, a student from the Fifth Interstellar Fleet also raised the same question.
"Instructor Yang, our Fifth Interstellar Fleet, under the leadership of Marshal Huo, nearly destroyed the Principality of the Southern Cross. Why can't we reclaim those habitable planets they've occupied?"
Yang Ling looked at him and sighed, "This depends on you. You are the rising stars of the empire, and you will be the backbone of the empire in the future!"
Then, her voice rose even higher: "I hope that among you, a new great general will be born, who will not only defeat those invaders, but also reclaim our lost glory without hesitation!"
Many students were so excited by Yang Ling's words that their blood boiled and they shouted loudly.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan and Sang Yadi were eager to go into battle and fight the invaders.
Xia Chujian was unusually indifferent, even blowing his nails out of boredom.
Her action was seen clearly by Ji Nabi, who had been secretly watching her.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "Instructor Yang, our rising star and mainstay of this class, Xia Chujian, doesn't care at all about what you say!"
The corners of Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and he slowly turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from behind him.
It turned out to be that Ji Nabi who needed to be punished.
Seeing Xia Chujian turned to look at her, Ji Nabi said arrogantly, "Xia Chujian, I just saw you blowing your nails... Are you very dismissive of what Instructor Yang said?"
Xia Chujian ignored her and quickly looked away.
Coward, even worse than Lu Luyu.
A coward who doesn't even dare to fight with her will lose if she gives him another look.
Ji Nabi was a little disappointed when she saw that Xia Chujian didn't get furious. She chuckled and said, "Instructor Yang, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The backbone of our class doesn't agree with your proposal..."
Xia Chujian still didn't say anything.
Yang Ling kept a straight face and didn't blame Xia Chujian. Instead, he said to Ji Nabi, "Who are you? I don't like people disrupting the class when I'm teaching."
Jinabi: "..."
Xia Chujian curled the corners of her lips slightly, and her impression of instructor Yang Ling improved a lot.
But soon, Yang Ling looked at Xia Chujian and said, "You are Xia Chujian, right? I heard that you won first place in this practical test."
Xia Chujian bowed slightly in his seat and said, "Instructor Yang, I'm Xia Chujian. Thanks to all of you, my comrades, for letting me take first place. But when it comes to real combat experience, I'm in no way comparable to you."
