Chapter 126
With netizens becoming more aware of the situation, the parliament's last chance to turn the tables was gone, and it was further and completely disrupted by Sherry. As everyone expected, when the system stagnated, she prepared a temporary team to take over everything. The normal lives of the people of the empire were hardly affected. The only difference was that the waiting time was a little longer when doing things, but this was less than the time they were in a daze when they heard that Shen Shiqian was pregnant. Nobody cared.
Afterwards, Feng Ran received a gift from this generous boss: the transfer of ownership of Franklin Star, the return of the Fourth Legion, and several other scattered small planets.
Well, although this wasn't what she and Shen Shiqian originally intended, they still happily accepted it.
Sherry was so busy with the formation of the cabinet and the temporary management of the council that she wanted to borrow Feng Ran's android Xing Tong. In fact, she didn't know what kind of system Xing Tong was. She had only seen it at the wedding and intuitively thought it was a robot with a high level of intelligence that seemed very suitable for handling official business.
Feng Ran was initially hesitant, wondering how Shirley could randomly pick such a powerful weapon, but Xing Tong was very enthusiastic and eager to go: "Master, I'm going to be an official! You wait for me to make money and come back to support you!"
Instead of staying home to take care of the scheming man, this super system should be out there making its mark. So Feng Ran had nothing to say and let it be.
After that, Feng Ran stopped going to school for military training and instead went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. He then began discussing the surgery with the experts that Xisen had found.
Although she knew these were necessary things, because even with some modifications to her body, she still didn't have the complete reproductive system of an Omega, Feng Ran felt a little reluctant at the thought of making a hole in Shen Shiqian's stomach. Xisen, on the other hand, was completely the opposite and wished he would make the hole himself.
Doctors who can work in obstetrics are generally quite gentle, kind and patient. When facing pregnant women, they are better able to soothe the anxiety of patients and their families. However, Xisen and Fengran are completely different. The two of them reasoned and worked together to rehearse the entire surgical procedure.
From the location and angle of the needle injection, to the concentration and dosage of the drug, and even the location and size of the abdominal incision, everything underwent rigorous and repeated scrutiny and confirmation by Fengran.
"Are you sure you want to remove the gestational sac?"
The group of doctors, who were taking notes rapidly, asked incredulously.
Feng Ran frowned worriedly: "They're disposable, it's troublesome if we don't take them off."
Actually, that's not the case. It's just that the passageway that marked the gestational sac during the second differentiation was smashed open by her and has never closed since. When stimulated by pheromones, it will frantically enter a reproductive state. False pregnancy and nest building are minor issues. Shen Shiqian will be driven by this crazy stimulation to sit on her every day and be as tight as possible until the ovule implants. Only then will this impulse subside.
I can't even imagine what will happen to the baby after birth if the gestational sac still has this opening.
Fengran had discussed this matter with Xingtong before. After Xingtong's calculations, she concluded that this organ was produced by the action of Enigma's pheromones. Without the action of pheromones, it would naturally atrophy. Therefore, as long as the technique is appropriate, removal should not have any impact on human health. In fact, the hormone levels may even return to normal.
As for whether a new gestational sac will form later due to the influence of pheromones, we'll have to wait and see. Anyway, they already have a son and a daughter, so whether there's a gestational sac or not, it's not a big regret.
After all the examinations were completed, the surgery was scheduled for mid-November. The experts would stay until the actual delivery, closely monitoring Shen Shiqian's physical condition and continuously optimizing the surgical plan.
After all, this was the first Alpha cesarean section in the history of the Empire, and in their view, the research significance even outweighed the surgery itself.

On the day of the military training review, Feng Ran still took some time to go back to school. The eyes of all the teachers and students looked at her with a pure and respectful shock. The conspiracy theories that were over-interpreted online completely shaped her into someone from another world.
Even the usually observant Kaolecia was stunned for a moment when he saw her. It wasn't hard to guess. Not to mention that he had been cut off from the internet for a period of time due to domestic control when he was on Qianyi Star, even if he hadn't been cut off from the internet, he was someone who didn't like to go online. He had been preparing for the special admissions exam for the Capital Military Academy with all his might, because he had grown up in the border area and was full of longing for the marshal.
On his first day of school, he spent a long time preparing himself mentally when he learned that he was in the same class as his idol's fiancée. After getting to know Feng Ran in person, he realized that she was indeed a very good and special person, and he didn't have any other thoughts. It wasn't until he heard that Shen Shiqian was pregnant that he realized the terrifying nature of Enigma with a delayed reaction time.
Seeing that even he was like this, Feng Ran didn't go back to her class's line. Instead, she went to sit in the audience. Because she was sitting very close to the podium, Albert and other school leaders would occasionally glance at her.
The inspection ceremony itself wasn't much to see; after all, there were so many cubes, and going through them all would have been aesthetically tiring. When it came to the competition, each class could only send one representative, and their opponent was determined by drawing lots. Unsurprisingly, their class sent Kaolecia.
Despite everyone's hard work during this period, the gap in experience is really hard to close. Not to mention that the combat department's top student, Kai, is General Bailie's youngest son and has been a trained fighter since childhood. Even if you went up to fight him, you might have a hard time. There are even former professional boxers among the freshmen, and all sorts of other people have also emerged. In short, the competition is extremely fierce.
In previous combat competitions, students who weren't majoring in combat usually couldn't even make it into the top eight, only managing to get a participation award each time. But this year, the Fourth Battalion fought their way through the competition, with Kaolecia giving it her all to secure third place and achieve instant fame.
[That's incredible! Their Mechanical Engineering department is amazing! Can you believe that the fourth-ranked student, who's trained in combat since childhood, couldn't beat that self-taught fighter?]
[Actually, I wasn't too surprised. I should have expected it when I saw Feng Ran sitting in the audience watching the show. Besides, I could tell from the round of 16 that Kaolecia's offensive was very fierce.]
Don't even mention the round of 16 to 8; that's where our class got eliminated. Our class advisor was furious, saying how could we not even beat the Mechanical Engineering department. Classes hadn't even started yet, and they were already saying they'd give us extra training. Nobody's had it as bad as us.
[Actually, they trained a lot. They even organized boxing and morning exercises themselves. Our class advisor was so moved he cried, saying, "Why isn't this such a motivated class under my leadership?"]
[Hilarious! If Feng Ran were one of the students from their class participating in the competition, no one would dare to say a word. Now that a dark horse has emerged, they're acting like this. Everyone's on Joker's side.]
[Brothers who dare, if you dare, then I'll question the school about why they allowed the coach to participate in the competition.]
So everyone is basically assuming that Fengran will be the champion of the competition, right?
[If Kai can beat the head coach.]
[That's probably impossible. Kay himself said he couldn't beat him. Albert is his father's direct superior and subordinate, and Kay learned many of his fighting skills from him. He's been beaten up a lot since he was a kid; it's a miracle he doesn't go weak in the knees when he sees his instructor.]
[Sigh, is it too late for me to switch to mechanical engineering?]
【No way, do you think mechanical engineering is easy to get into? Their entrance exam includes "Cavity Furnaces and Combustion Reactions"! And it's the newly revised edition from the Chinese Academy of Sciences! Other departments have at least three or four classes, but their department only has two because they have so few students. Guess why?】
[A bunch of top students. My brother told me that every year during final exams, everyone copies their general education assignments from the mechanical engineering department. Their notes have even been sold for exorbitant prices on forums.]
[Besides, the four major university leagues are nothing like combat sports, right? The combat departments only rely on piloting speed races and mecha combat to get points; the mechanical departments are the ones doing the C in everything else. There are even cases where the mecha broke down before the finals and they had to rely on others to fix it on the spot. Even the dean of the combat academy has to stand tall in front of their class advisors when he comes.]
[Is it that terrifying?]
[The mechanical engineering department isn't exactly weak, okay? They're only a little weak when they first enroll. After practical classes start, they're carrying iron blocks around every day, and the whole lab building is filled with the sound of them hammering away. If you dare complain about the noise, they can send you flying with one punch.]
[Do you know Professor Como? He's the one in the Assets Department. Even the principal doesn't dare to hang around him easily. Back when the Marshal was in school, he damaged several mechs and was blacklisted ever since. Even now, if you mention it to Professor Como, you can still hear him cursing the Marshal.]
What does this have to do with the Mechanical Engineering department?
[Professor Como was originally the head of the Mechanical Engineering department. Because he was so difficult to talk to, students from other majors were often brought to tears by his scolding during the league. That's why the school transferred him to the Asset Management office. But he's still fundamentally behind the Mechanical Engineering department. Do you understand the significance of that?]
Students like Feng Ran and Kaolecia are treated like treasures in the engineering department. If you say they came in third in a fighting competition and you disagree, they'll immediately slam their fists on the table and tell you to keep your opinions to yourselves!
[Yeah, basically all the engineering majors are tough to mess with. On the first day of class, during our class meeting, they specifically asked if anyone in our class was going to share a dorm with someone from the engineering department. They said we need to build good relationships with the engineering students. Just being good at fighting and showing off is useless; if your support runs out, you're completely useless.]
[Shen Shiqian is an extreme case. In the early stages, people were quite willing to help him repair things because he was good-looking, rich, and capable. But later, that stopped working. His credibility with the Mechanical Engineering Department was completely ruined, and the Asset Management Department blacklisted him. He could only rely on his strength to fight others in a broken mech and still managed to win.]
[Their invincibility began to be demonstrated at this time.]
[They weren't completely invincible, were they? The 69F4 team lost terribly back then, to the point that I want to laugh whenever I see them in public together.]
[So what if we're invincible again? We still have to have Feng Ran's baby in the Mechanical Engineering department, don't we?]
[Damn, so this is the real top of the food chain, I get it now.]
