"Then principal, wouldn't it be better to just reject those girls who were born during the New Year?" Wu Jie suddenly thought of this question.
General Wang nodded in satisfaction. "You're not being foolish, brat. What you're talking about is actually already written into the United Nations decree. Girls born on New Year's Eve, the day before or the day after, will not be accepted. This way, we can do everything possible to prevent them from going crazy. Besides, the population of Earth is so large, we can't afford to lose people in one or two days."
Wu Jie was relieved. It wasn't that Wu Jie didn't care about the UN's laws, but when he was in the military academy, his attention was focused on studying tactics and strategy.
"Okay, after all this talk, I think you should understand what I mean. Wu Jie, after completing the battle on the Suzaku side, you will serve at sea for a period of time. Of course, your position in Suzaku will remain, and you will also hold the dual positions of Army Colonel and Navy Colonel."
"This is also to increase your qualifications for naval service and hone your naval combat abilities. Don't forget, our true main battlefield is actually at sea. Although there are also many land battles, Auroramon's army controls about 50% of our sea areas."
"By the way, the Abyssal Species is about the Runaway War Dancer. Remember, don't tell anyone about this, understand? The specific reason is still unclear, but you've done a great job this time. With your help, we successfully retrieved the corpse of an Abyssal Species. Our scientists will definitely develop a corresponding plan as soon as possible."
Listening to the principal's words, Wu Jie felt a pang of sadness. The girls who were originally from the human camp had now become his enemies, and now he had to dissect their bodies again...
Suddenly, the principal patted Wu Jie on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so depressed. As a senior general in the army, how can you be a good commander if you don't have this kind of decisiveness?"
Then the principal fumbled in his arms, took out two boxes and handed them to Wu Jie.
Wu Jie was stunned: "Principal, what are you doing?"
"Open it and take a look."
Wu Jie opened the two boxes at the same time. He was first surprised by the treasure on the right, and then he looked at the strange stone on the left, and felt that familiar feeling again.
"Principal, this is too valuable." Wu Jie's hand couldn't help but tremble. The treasure on the right turned out to be a blue diamond.
The stone on the left made Wu Jie even more confused. It was obviously the Qiyuan Stone. Why did the principal give these two things to him?
Seeing Wu Jie's confusion, General Wang slowly said, "Marching and fighting in a place like the Suzaku War Dance Troupe, I don't need to explain how difficult it is, right? This is the military funds funded by the principal."
Wu Jie was stunned. He hadn't expected the principal to consider him to this extent. If this blue diamond were to be sold, it would fetch a sky-high price. Considering its weight and size, how many carats would it be...
"But..." Wu Jie still wanted to refuse.
General Wang was unhappy: "No buts, I told you to keep it, that's an order!"
"Yes! Chief!" Wu Jie didn't dare to say anything else.
In fact, General Wang also had his own selfish motives. He knew that with Wu Jie's personality, he would definitely use the money for the right purpose. Moreover, Suzaku was in need of money right now. Giving it to Wu Jie was equivalent to giving it to Suzaku, which could be considered as a roundabout way to support his granddaughter...
I don't know if that girl will appreciate it...
"By the way, Principal, this stone is..."
General Wang smiled slightly: "A fragment of the true source stone."
Wu Jie didn't understand: "A fragment of the True Origin Stone? What is this? Is it related to the Origin Stone?"
General Wang didn't hide anything and said, "When the heart shattered, fragments of matter fell out. Later, scientists pieced all the fragments together to form a pyramid-shaped gem. But it can't be restored. It will eventually shatter."
"So scientists believe that this gem is the one that drives the heart's energy, and so they named it the True Origin Stone. To study the True Origin Stone, scientists have conducted experiments day and night for twenty years, but they've consumed almost all of the fragments, and still haven't figured it out. Now this fragment is the last one."
"The Red Lotus Research Institute has now stopped researching the True Origin Stone fragments. After all, after more than twenty years of research, there are still no results. Moreover, it has cost a huge amount of resources and money. This is a huge expense."
"Just last year, they terminated this research project and gave it to me as a souvenir. You won the championship in this world competition, so this broken stone is given to you. Twenty years of research with no results is pretty ridiculous when you think about it."
Wu Jie looked at the mysterious piece of stone. For some reason, he had a vague feeling that the stone seemed to be calling him.
Seeing Wu Jie staring at the stone in a daze, General Wang smiled and said, "How about it? Does it feel like this broken stone is talking to you?"
Wu Jie was stunned. How did the principal know?
"Principal, this?"
"Just like you, not just me, all the researchers feel the same way. That's why the Red Lotus Research Institute persisted in its research for over twenty years, until last year, when only this last piece remained, and they finally gave up completely."
"The chief researcher at the Red Lotus Research Institute hesitated for a long time before reluctantly handing the stone over to me. He said he hoped this stone would one day prove useful."
"I've suspected there might be some hidden secret. I've studied this broken stone more than once, and I can't find any secrets. Since you won the world championship this time, I'll consider this a celebration for you. I'm giving it to you. Keep it well."
Wu Jie didn't expect that this stone had such a great origin. Although he also felt that this stone had extraordinary charm, he suddenly felt discouraged when he heard the principal's words.
[Yes, the Red Lotus Research Institute has been researching for so many years and still hasn't produced any results. I might not be able to produce any results either.] With so many scientists and think tanks, how could I possibly compete with a single team?
So Wu Jie carefully put away the two boxes and saluted deeply to the principal.
"Go ahead, start now. It's time for you to show your skills. Don't let me down."
Seeing that the principal had no intention of leaving, Wu Jie didn't want to stay any longer and walked out in standard military posture.
Not long after Wu Jie left, another person walked into the room.
The man couldn't help but ask, "Old Wang, are you optimistic about this young man?"
"What's wrong?" General Wang asked.
"He's a good prospect, but unfortunately he's too young. The battle lines are tight right now, so there's not enough time for him to grow."
General Wang shook his head and said, "It is precisely because of the war that he can be tempered. Only generals who have been on the battlefield can be more easily honed to become good generals."
The man was shocked: "Are you planning to...train him as your successor?"
General Wang just smiled and didn't answer...
