11. Rite of passage
The "Falling Star" incident is a secret that is not a secret in Tiansu, and it is not mentioned in the history books, and it is not avoided in miscellaneous books. Thirty years ago, scientists discovered a wormhole with a diameter of more than 50,000 kilometers at the edge of the galaxy where the star Pleiades is located.
Imperial Marshal Zhao Qinghuan immediately decided to let the nearby garrisons all withdraw, but a greater disaster occurred, the original wormhole was unstable, and the disturbance of the vanguard army's mecha and spaceship crossing caused it to collapse, and it did not disappear because of the energy imbalance, but swept towards the Celestia.
Some of the entire planets on the edge were engulfed.
Scientists have been working around the clock to study how to neutralize the negative ions in the wormhole so that it stabilizes. All the army groups and generals were transferred back one by one, and the marshal always fought on the front line with his own body, delaying the approaching trend with a steel body.
The war lasted for five years, and the Imperial Army Group was broken by three, but not even the shadow of the enemy was seen.
"Then the wormhole disappeared and the war ended. Tiansu lost many excellent generals and soldiers, including Lieutenant General Qizi Mingyu of His Excellency the Marshal, who fell there, but fortunately their souls did not return to the Hall of Reincarnation like the first batch of vanguard troops. Strictly speaking, 'Falling Stars' not only refers to the generals who chose to end their lives in the Nightmare Hall, but also includes all the generals who died that year. ”
Xi Xian said the past with a blank face, and did not forget to give the students time to think, if they had questions, he had to answer.
For the first time, the classmates saw Xi Xian's face so cold, and they were silent one by one, Bo Jue first glanced deeply at Zhao Qingge, who was obviously not satisfied, and then pretended to shake the goosebumps on his body, and said that he wanted to continue walking forward while screaming a little cold.
If it's just a simple war, why don't the history books avoid talking about it?
Zhao Qingge and Lin Jian had great doubts in their hearts, but they also knew that it was not the time to ask about this matter again, so they followed the team in silence.
The hall of reincarnation that Xi Xian said is actually a big high-tech venue, with a white interior scene, and all kinds of large and sophisticated instruments are dazzling, Xi Xian couldn't stand it and pressed his temple, and hurriedly said to the student that he was sorry that he was dizzy, and recruited a base researcher to find a place to rest.
The students giggled and made a few fuss about Xi Xian, and then obediently followed the researcher.
The researcher at the base is also a Qizi, I don't know if it's Bo Jue's subjective feelings, most of the adults she saw in her embryonic period were Qizi. Doctor Xi from the academy, the shopkeeper of Jinxuan, the man who helped her swipe her card in the supermarket, and the researcher surnamed Lin who was in charge of explaining to them.
Soon Bo Jue's questions were answered.
She usually asks questions when she has something to say, and regardless of whether she is familiar with the researcher or not, Researcher Lin pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said: "Engaged in this kind of scientific and technological and research work, it is true that there are more contracts, and the main body of the contract is relatively strong, and it accounts for the majority in some fields that require physical fitness such as combat, which is the reason for the different social division of labor." ”
"Thank you for your answer, it clears up my confusion."
Researcher Lin said happily: "You are in the embryonic state, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask." ”
In the hall where Bo Jue and the others were, dozens of rows of white sealed energy bins were lined up in turn, and Researcher Lin pressed a button on the operation table, and the closed energy bins slowly opened, revealing the translucent souls sleeping inside.
It was a boy with long eyelashes, quiet and peaceful, with closed eyes, short red hair on his forehead that was obediently clinging, and small and cute ears.
The students gathered around as if they were monkeys, and curious faces were taped to the glass covers.
"Are you familiar with this?"
When Researcher Lin mentioned this, everyone realized that it was a little familiar: "It seems to have seen it before." ”
"This is the energy bin that each of us awakens to, and the first thing you see when you see the world is the top of the energy bin. After the returning soul is purified by the purification pool, it will be arranged by us into the energy warehouse, and after a period of precipitation, the soul will slowly transform into a physical human form, and then it will awaken, called the embryonic state, and be sent to the primary college, hold a coming-of-age ceremony, and die, enter here again, and complete a new reincarnation. This is the life of our Tiansu people. ”
Zhao Qingge: "How long will it take for us to wake up?" ”
"This varies from person to person, and it usually takes anywhere from ten to twenty years."
Bo Jue interjected: "So that means that it has been almost thirty years from the return of the soul to sleep and the growth of what we are now?" ”
Zhao Qingge raised his head suddenly, Bo Jue raised his chin arrogantly at her, and his face was full of words: Hmph, I already knew your little thoughts.
Researcher Lin didn't notice the slightest hint of this problem, and said in a deep voice, "It's not wrong for you to say this, but it's just an approximation, it should be between twenty and thirty years." ”
"Ah, come and see, there's a name here!" Someone shouted, "This sleeping boy is called Zuo Xi." ”
"There's that too!"
"There's that too!"
Attentive students soon discovered that each chamber had a long and narrow piece of silver that took up almost an entire side. area, with a special process engraved with different names, the red-haired boy is called Zuo Xi, in front of his name, in order: Zuo Qian, Zuo Shang, Zuo Shizhi......
Some of the other energy chambers are written with a string of names that start with Mo, and some are written with a string of names that start with Enoch.
"Researcher Lin, these names ......"
"These names are the people who have awakened in this energy chamber. The returned soul is placed in the energy bin in turn, so the surname of this energy bin is obtained, for example, the soul of this boy falls here, and the surname is left in this life, and our names are set by the mainframe computer in a fixed order, which will be updated in real time, combining the surname and the first name, which is your current name, and there will be absolutely no repetition among the Tiansu people. ”
Researcher Lin said: "The hall of reincarnation is very large, and you are now in the most central position, and the warehouses placed here are Mo, Luo, Wrong, Wo, and Nuo...... Waiting for thirty surnames, if you want to go to place your own energy warehouse, go forward from this warehouse, and there is a navigation panel for all the warehouses of the Hall of Reincarnation at the gate, which can be provided to students for inquiry. I really can't find a place, and other staff can show you the way. I had other work to do, and my classmates gathered here in two hours. ”
The young people who couldn't help but want to run wild immediately rushed to the navigation panel, and Zhao Qingge found the surname Zhao at a glance, and then bowed his head and said a few words to Lin Jian and left first.
Bo Jue paid special attention to it, and found that his warehouse and Zhao Qingge, one south and one north, were listed at the two poles of the Hall of Reincarnation, so he had to leave with others under the warm greeting of a few classmates along the way.
Researcher Lin said that there was no exaggeration here, Zhao Qingge's speed did not squint, and it took him more than half an hour to find the warehouse with the surname "Zhao" written on the sign at the door, and the rows of energy warehouses walked over, and the sound of quiet and light footsteps sounded in the empty warehouse.
She was walking too fast, so the rest of her classmates hadn't arrived yet. These energy bins are all sealed, Zhao Qingge looked at the name on the side, and the last one was called "Zhao Ying," the penultimate was her name, and her name was in front of the person who had awakened in this energy bin.
Zhao Shuang, Zhao Lina, Zhao Ming, Zhao Guoyan......
"Zhao Qinghuan......" Zhao Qingge put his finger on the name, silently read it, his heart was in a trance, his brows were tightly locked, and he finally remembered this familiar name, "Your Excellency Marshal?" ”
……
After the students came back from the base, they have a deeper understanding of themselves, and adults are imminent, and the love fever that just set off some time ago has swept the entire campus even more irrepressibly. Almost all of the young people who are about to enter the awakening period are engaged in the great cause of love, actively looking for their partners.
The awakening period of the embryonic state is easy to induce, and when a person awakens, it will bring up a large area, Xixian's infirmary is gradually busy, and there are more and more embryonic states that come to register when they enter the awakening period.
And finally, the first couple decided to have a coming-of-age ceremony.
