Chapter 40 Mining is coming
Xu Lingqu has always believed that this interstellar era may be another civilization in the vast universe that is highly similar to humans.
But looking at the familiar animals in front of him, Xu Lingqu's thoughts were gradually overturned.
If interstellar animals are equated with animals on Earth, then what about interstellar humans and humans on Earth?
Is this the same universe or a parallel world?
"Bang." The heavy object was thrown in front of him. The sound of it falling and the dust it raised interrupted Xu Lingqu's somewhat disordered thoughts.
Instructor Kion announced the purpose of torturing them tonight: "Now we begin the cross-country march with loads."
He didn't mention the distance or the destination, so he probably wanted to take them to some special place for training.
The students who were caught in the middle of the night all had gloomy expressions of resignation on their faces. They numbly picked up their heavy loads, the gate opened, and they began their cross-country race.
The training began, and Xu Lingqu, who was originally immersed in thinking about this world, withdrew his thoughts.
There is still a long way to go in exploring the world, and the most important thing now is to get through this trial period safely.
This night cross-country race lasted about an hour and a half. Instructors were driving closely following the large group in front, behind, and on both sides. After arriving at the destination, most people were very tired. After all, they still had the debuff of lack of sleep.
The destination they arrived at had a medium-sized wooden door. It slowly opened and students and instructors poured in. It was a small and unique training base.
Compared with large training bases, this one is really a bit too primitive, with plants and soil everywhere, and it looks like people live in wooden houses.
The instructor at the small training base who opened the door for them came forward to shake Kion's hand.
"The mecha division training is currently progressing smoothly." He reported to the chief instructor Kion.
Kion patted his shoulder and nodded.
It turned out that this was the place where the students in the mecha division who were sent to mine came from. Seeing the harsh conditions, the students in the command and analysis directions who had complained at the beginning became obedient one by one.
The place they live is much better than here.
Whatever reason had Kion had for bringing them all here? Was he sending them to live in this hellish place?
Natata heard the noise outside in the wooden house very early, but the continuous study and homework in the past few days made her seriously lack of sleep. She was too tired and sleepy and really didn't want to get up. It was not until she felt that the noise outside was really unusual that she put on her clothes and walked out yawning.
She first saw the perverted chief instructor Kion who caught them in the jump on the first day, and her heart skipped a beat. Then she shifted her gaze and saw a familiar person in the crowd.
"What brought you here?"
Xu Lingqu was still observing the training base when suddenly a figure rushed in front of her. She thought about the face in front of her for a while, but still couldn't remember who it was.
Her confused look made Natata realize that she had been forgotten, and she quickly reminded him, "I'm the girl who kept grabbing you on Stalker. Don't you remember me?"
I remembered that this was the one who asked her why she wasn't afraid. Xu Lingqu reacted and nodded.
Instructor Kion saw the two people recognizing each other but did not stop them. He said, "I'll give you twenty minutes. You can first find the mecha technician students here to learn about the situation."
Natata breathed a sigh of relief and extended her hand towards Xu Lingqu: "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Natata, and I'm a mecha division."
"Xu Lingqu, take command." Xu Lingqu stretched out his hand in cooperation.
Looking at the person in front of her, Natata suddenly felt that Xu Lingqu had really changed a lot. She seemed taller and no longer looked as thin and weak as before. When she stood there, she looked very powerful.
It seems that Xu Lingqu has experienced a lot during this period, but now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Natata began to share the situation of this small training base with Xu Lingqu.
"We've been here ever since we separated from you that day. It's been almost half a month. During this time, we've been familiarizing ourselves with and identifying the raw materials used to produce mechas. There's a large cavern about 800 meters from here, with a mine in the middle. The workers usually go down there to mine, and we've been following them to get to know them." Natata gestured as she spoke. "After our daily study sessions, we've been selecting materials for cutting, softening, and other tasks. Don't be fooled by how shabby this place is. The instruments in the lab are worth tens of millions of Imperial Star Coins."
Xu Lingqu watched her describe the daily life here, and suddenly felt that the job of a mecha engineer required both high mental activity and physical strength. He was doing the most advanced research, but polishing materials day after day and going down to the mine to collect raw materials in person was really time-consuming, laborious and boring.
"I don't know why he brought you here, and our instructor didn't inform me..." Natata's mouth was dry after she finished speaking. She was so engrossed in her speech that she didn't notice that while she was speaking, a group of strange people surrounded her and were looking at her curiously, especially those with red hair and blonde hair.
Xu Xizhen and Jin were equally shocked.
"Sister/Commander, how come you even know the direction of the Mecha Division?"
Kaion asked the students to find the students majoring in mecha technicians to find out the situation. Now no one dared to ignore his words, and they all went to find the students majoring in mecha technicians.
However, there are too many people and too few places. There are only 20 students majoring in mecha technicians. Among their 280 people, it takes 14 ordinary students to make one mecha technician.
Xu Xizhen was just feeling worried when he saw a student majoring in mecha engineering take the initiative to talk to his sister.
Of course, this group of people who usually hang out with Xu Lingqu came over and listened carefully. Others who didn't know him or were not very familiar with him didn't dare to squeeze over, and they became the biggest beneficiaries of the chaotic scene.
When she returned, she had to tell her mother and brother about all these things. Was she being held back by Xu Lingqu? That was totally untrue. She was clearly happily clinging to her sister's thighs.
Seeing Natata's panicked expression, Xu Lingqu raised his hand and pressed Jin's head back: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
She turned around and introduced the people behind her: "This is my roommate Natata."
It turned out that this relationship was only between roommates. Xu Xizhen and Jin nodded in sudden realization.
Liu Zheng and Lin Xiao, who were standing by, knew very well that this treatment was not simply due to their roommate relationship.
Lin Xiao was thinking silently that Commander Xu was probably exuding her personal charm somewhere again.
Twenty minutes passed quickly.
Some had already fully understood, while others were still confused. After observing the students' states, Kion announced the purpose of their visit today: "Going down to the mine. I brought you here today to help collect raw materials."
Xu Lingqu calmly stretched out his hands and clapped twice. He came to school and successfully got a job illegally.
