In the west of the main continent, there is a large lake, sparkling and rugged, and the red glow in the north sky reflects the lake, which is beautiful. Several beautiful cruise ships float on the lake. In the air, a strange beast with a golden body and a long tail and huge wings circled and danced, and behind it there were ten golden beasts no more than the size of chickens and ducks, and its form was the same as that of a giant beast.

The giant beast roared, and the ten small beasts also responded, flying into the chest and abdomen of the giant beast, and disappeared. The beast flared its wings and glided eastward, past a square of red grass by the lake, and landed on top of a tall fortress, looking down on the world and all beings.

Around the castle, wooden three-story houses are lined up along the streets in a radius of twenty miles. The stone-paved streets were wide and smooth, with few carriages passing through them, and there were not necessarily too many people, except for the bustling city around the castle.

Some of those who looked up and saw the giant beast stopped to salute, their eyes full of reverence.

Beneath the fortress is an open park. Red meadows, stone paths, small feather grass, wooden chairs are pleasant. There are children who read books with their hands, and there are teenagers who talk loudly.

"Let's let, let's let. A somewhat impassioned woman's voice rang out, disturbing the peace and tranquility of the place.

However, instead of being annoyed by this, people looked in the direction from which the sound came from. There, a beautiful woman was riding on top of a strange trap. The mechanism, two wooden wheels in the front and back, connected by a tripod, on the front wheel, there is a foot pedal on the left and right, and there is a cross-head handle, which is firmly grasped by the woman.

The woman is dressed in a purple grass skirt with red hair and pointed ears. At the moment, riding on the machine staggered, turned left and right, and almost hit people a few times. Behind him, a tall and handsome young man struggled to hold on to the tripod on the rear wheel.

"Sister Anne, I said that you didn't do this right, brother-in-law, the picture he drew is not like this. The boy was a little helpless, but he was full of happiness.

"You know what, I call it direct work. ”

"Hey, but the principle of the bicycle lies in the labor-saving principle of the big and small teeth. ”

"Hmph, don't ride, it's not your fault, you can't even make a chain. ”

"No, don't we still have no foundation?"

"You have a lot of excuses, and you say you know everything. I left, I went to my sister to study. ”

Of course, these two are Anne and Su Yun. Anne threw the nondescript "bicycle" on the ground and turned into the bunker.

Only then did the teenagers who were reading the book dare to come around and look at the strange machine.

"Professor Su Yun, what is this?"

"Failure, failure. Su Yun ignored the young man who asked him the question and sighed to himself.

"Does the professor feel that he has failed in front of His Highness Anne, or has this strange machine failed. The boy was playful and laughed.

Su Yun's face turned red, he glanced at the young man, and said, "Ollie Guan, you are getting bigger and smaller, be careful that I ask your father to clean you up." ”

"Wow, Professor Su Yun is shy, so cute. In the distance, the two girls stomped their feet and muttered softly.

"Uncle Su Yun, don't be angry, can't I be wrong. The boy changed his name and begged for mercy. This Ollie crown is the son of Olia. Oria heard Barr say that in this empire, the first one is called the champion, and the second is called the runner-up. So, he himself was defeated by Barr and became the runner-up, blaming himself for not having a good name, so he renamed his son Ollie Crown, but this kid is the same as him, he can only fight, but he reads usually.

"Okay, okay, this is called a bicycle, but it has been changed by Her Highness Anne, if any of you can make it up, I will directly let him graduate. "Su Yun's appearance hasn't changed since he got immortal, and he looks about the same age as these children. Therefore, he, as a professor, does not have much prestige in the eyes of the children. But the children also really admired his knowledge and those bizarre legends.

He dropped the two drawings in his backpack on the chair next to him and turned to leave.

Those teenagers, when they heard that they could graduate early, snatched them one after another, and the drawings were almost torn apart, when Su Yun's voice came, "The drawings were drawn by the emperor himself, don't blame me for not reminding you if you tear them up." ”

So, the crumpled drawings were immediately stuffed back into the hands of Ollie Crown...

Suanne went up the spiraling staircase to the top floor of the castle without panting. There, a motherly voice emanated from a staircase hall. Suanne sat quietly inside.

The woman on the podium nodded and smiled at Anne and continued.

"The difference between humans and animals is that we know how to learn and find the meaning of existence. She looked around, and then pointed to Su Anne, who had just come in, "Anne, tell me, what is the meaning of existence?"

"Question me every time. Anne muttered, got up and said crisply, "The meaning of existence is to constantly search for the meaning of existence." ”

There was a pause, then laughter, and then a round of applause.

"Very well, please be seated. Lu Feng County Guard, you can tell me. ”

In this classroom, there are some noble officials, and this Lu Feng is the son of Lu Pei, who serves as the county guard of the pony.

Lu Feng stood up and walked to the front of the stage, stood in a corner, and saluted everyone, "Dean Anna's question, I have a string of answers, I hope you will correct it." ”

"The original meaning of life. The first is to reproduce, the second is to know, the third is to seek, the fourth is to give, and the fifth is to inherit. Sixth, although it is not desirable, it is the most real, and that is enjoyment. ”

Lu Feng didn't say much, but the classroom fell silent for a long time, and then there was a lot of discussion, but no one rose up to object.

A round of applause rang out at the door, and the eyes of the people in the room were attentive, and they all immediately stood up and saluted with their hands on their chests. "The Great. ”

Barr walked to the podium, and his wife, Suanna, smiled and sat quietly in the front row. He said:

Nearly 100 years after the establishment of the empire, some of the people who fought with me are old, and some are no longer alive. Lu accompanied the county guard, but his child Lu Feng was an excellent person among us.

That's right, in the past three hundred years, we have completed a great task, that is, "breeding", in the Western Regions where Karn is located, where the ice shark is located, and the pony where Lu Feng is located, from almost zero at the beginning, to a population of hundreds of thousands. Because, we understand that as living beings, we must first fulfill our basic mission, which is to reproduce.

In our empire, right now, the population is too small, look around us, we have built so many houses, a seemingly prosperous imperial city, but there are still too few people. Population, this is what we need most at the moment, and it is also the main meaning of our long-term existence, and everyone, in the next 300 years, our population will quadruple.

We are in the Western Regions, we have established the imperial city, and we have built this royal academy, so this is what Lu Feng said, "second, cognition". We want all the people to have the knowledge, to know the world, and to have the meaning of their own existence...

I have changed you from aristocrats or slave owners to bureaucrats, and I have made you take turns to receive your education at the academy to tell you that now is not the time to enjoy. When you know that our planet will come to an end in the near future, you will know that we cannot enjoy it, but we must fight to save our children.

Our enjoyment should not stop at the beauty of food, but to pursue the true meaning of existence in the world in an environment where food and clothing are worry-free. The most precious thing of man is life, and life belongs to man and is only once. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction, so that at the time of his death, he can say: My life and all my experiences are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world—to fight for the future of mankind.
