Chapter 17: The Winds of War Rise
"Dear Mother,
See the letter.
The mid-term exams will start at the end of this month, and I am now reading books in the library every night, and this year I have taken courses in Microeconomics, Modern Western History, and Mechanical Transmission Level III, and I don't feel that it is difficult to learn, and I hope to pass the exam with all 'A' as last semester. Spring in Illinois is about to begin, the trees are already starting to bud, and every morning the campus is foggy and red squirrels are running into the campus.
Next week I might find a little time to go to the primeval forest with the Botanical Society to collect some leaf buds and make specimens.
Nothing else, I'll apply for the internship you told me, and I'll try to do an internship in New York or Washington this summer.
By the way, today's breakfast is fried double eggs and butter bread, lunch is potato salad and bacon burger, and dinner is carrot pork knuckle with shrimp bisque.
You have to remember to drink milk, and remind Aunt Tong to be sure to heat it over medium heat for five minutes.
Love your son
Chu Zihang"
The time was 11 o'clock in the evening, and after writing the letter, Chu Zihang turned around to check.
He writes an email to his mom every day before bed, even though mom doesn't check her mailbox every day. But when the mother occasionally opened the mailbox, she would see the emails neatly arranged by date, and even knew what her son ate every day, so she felt that Chu Zihang lived a peaceful life day after day in the American university.
So my mother saved herself from worrying, turned around and played crazy with those girlfriends
At first, her mother was not very satisfied with Chu Zihang's enrollment in Kassel College, she felt that according to Chu Zihang's results, she would have to go to a prestigious school like Yale and Harvard. My mother also often browsed the website of the Kassel Academy and commented that Professor Guderian looked like Alzheimer's.
Chu Zihang tried his best to describe the academic atmosphere of the Kassel Academy in the email: Principal Angers is an old gentleman who pays attention to appearance, graduated from Cambridge, and takes educating people as his own responsibility; The vice principal was a pioneer educator who loved to study the history of the American West, often dressed like a cowboy; Professor Guderian is obsessed with philology, and behaves somewhat weirdly but cutely; As for his mentor, Professor Schneider, although he looks a little scary on the outside, he is really a very kind person on the inside, and he burned his face because he saved his students, and he can only wear half of the mask all day long······ After such years of beautification, Kassel Academy finally established the impression of an aristocratic school in the heart of Chu Zihang's mother
It has been three months since the last trip to Beijing, Ye Yu is still suspended from school, there is no news, at first everyone was surprised by Ye Yu's suspension of school, and slowly got used to the days without Ye Yu
Students still attend various dance parties, doze off in evening self-study, and take seats in the library; Interns in the executive department are working in the library, breaching the Pentagon firewall or cracking the encryption system of a satellite; Chu Zihang of the Lionheart Club is ready to step down and has appointed the next president; Caesar danced with his lace girls in white dresses all day long in the Amber Pavilion; The Dragon's Blood Regiment also carried out its activities in an orderly manner under the guidance of Zero; Nono, who likes to do things, is nowhere to be seen, probably on some mission
Everything was fine, despite Ye Yu's absence
The earthquake almost shattered the window panes, and a 10-meter-high blood flame erupted from the well in front of Valhalla, illuminating the entire campus in blood red. The exterior wall of dormitory No. 3 cracked from top to bottom, and the walls of the dormitory fell in ashes
Chu Zihang twisted his head, glanced out the window and knew that the underground equipment department had exploded again, and calmly blew away the wall ash that fell on the notebook
He grabbed his school uniform from the back of his chair and got up to go outside
It's quiet in the restaurant
The baroque hall is large enough to accommodate 1,000 people at a time, but at the moment there is only one diner. Someone lies at the end of a long table munching on food as ruthlessly as a wind sweeps away leaves, with a whole chicken, a smoked pork leg, a beef burger, a vegetable salad, and a large portion of mashed potatoes······ Looks like this guy has a really good appetite
Lu Mingfei always has such a good appetite
When he ate to the point of complete selflessness, a man sat down next to him and put down his plate. Lu Mingfei spit out a chicken bone that was sucked cleanly, and turned his head to look at Chu Zihang with an expressionless face
Chu Zihang's supper is very simple, double omelette and milk soaked cereal, a glass of orange juice
After returning from Beijing, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang did not become warm, and Chu Zihang was not warm with anyone, not even Susie. This kind of person is always in a state of facial paralysis, he gives his life to you, but he will not waste an extra minute smiling at you or chatting with you
He planned every minute and second of his life, this kind of precision and instrument-like life often made Lu Mingfei uncomfortable, but he didn't have the identity to talk nonsense to Chu Zihang, and he was still too busy to take care of himself.
Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the time when there was Ye Yu, although the two of them were not in the same dormitory and were not the same instructor, but Ye Yu chose some courses like him, Ye Yu would not be like Chu Zihang, he would accompany Lu Mingfei to eat takeout, play games, and sometimes hang out with Fingal just to borrow a course note
"I don't know what happened to Ye Yu" Lu Mingfei was a little frustrated, in order to cheer himself up, he took two bites of the chicken leg in his hand

The other side
Claiming to be in Paris for a cocktail party with Clothes and Temples, he was actually meeting in a conference room 120 meters below the campus. In fact, Ange didn't want to have a meeting with these guys, so he wanted to get up and leave because of their clothes...... But what's the deal with fully enclosed biohazard suits? Rubber boots, protective glasses, respirators, and portable oxygen tanks are all available.
The heavy "whew-wh" echoed in the conference room, and more than a dozen pairs of glasses looked at Ange through the protective goggles.
"Gentlemen, before the meeting, I would like to ask a question, why do you wear biohazmat suits every time you have a meeting with me? It makes me feel like I'm a filthy pathogen and you don't even want to breathe air in the same space with me. Ange frowned.
"Headmaster, please don't mind, of course you are not a pathogen, pathogens refer to microorganisms and parasites that can cause disease, and they are not biologically the same category as you." A corrects the principal's scientific ignorance.
"Why are you wearing an oxygen mask when I'm not a pathogen?" Ange endured.
"We're just allergic to your body odor, headmaster, and to be honest, you're a polluter in Watta Alheim. Every time you come to a meeting, we turn the ionization air purifier up to maximum power...... But your body odor is just too powerful! "A certain B looked Ange up and down, like a human looking at a stinky orangutan.
"That's not a body odor, it's a special perfume I use!" Ange endured again.
"Is it perfume? According to our instrumental analysis, the result is a mixture of kebab, nori bisque and moldy cheese...... Principal, your taste for perfume is truly unique. "A certain C shows a unique cultivation in the field of smell.
"It's sandalwood, seaweed, and fresh cigar leaves......," Ange continued, "but you say like I'm just a meal?" ”
"It's barely a meal, but it's not an appetizing meal." A certain Ding revealed the regret that "rotten wood cannot be carved".
Ange began to regret coming to Walt Alheim for a meeting, and every time he came here he felt like he was caught in a sea of neuropathy, where neurosis is the mainstream, and without nerves it cannot survive. Together, these neurotics are called the Equipment Department.
Watt Alheim, which means "land of gnomes" in Norse mythology, is home to some of the world's best gnome craftsmen who have crafted the weapons of the gods. The armament department named their underground base Vat Alheim, showing complete pride and pride.
The elite of the Equipment Department do not engage in theoretical research, but their job is how to translate the theories of science and alchemy into practical applications...... Although 90% of these practical applications are explosives. From this point of view, the Ministry of Armament should be renamed the "Bomb Maniac Concentration Camp".
Although they are bomb maniacs, the guys in the equipment department pay great attention to their own safety, the water they drink must be distilled and purified by thirteen filtrations, the air they breathe must be dusted, ionized and humidified, and the food they eat is ...... They only eat junk food, but they're trying to prove that things like burgers, fries, and cola are healthy foods.
There are nine different layers of isolation above their heads, including concrete walls up to 3 meters thick, high-strength armor plates 50 centimeters thick, and lead-zirconium alloy plates to counter nuclear attacks...... The isolation layers are filled with a large amount of graphite powder between them. According to the professional calculations of the Ministry of Armament, the most advanced Blu-117 ground-penetrating bombs of the US military cannot penetrate their isolation layer, and the sunspot outbreak will not affect Watt Alheim, and the biological weapon will be completely purified by the graphite layer.
In recent years, the suspicion of the armament department has become more and more serious, and the imaginary enemy is no longer the US military's ground-penetrating bombs and nuclear weapons, but an apocalyptic disaster, such as an asteroid hitting the earth. After the group watched "2012", the equipment department began to explore the possibility of melting glaciers and the earth being completely flooded, and then they wrote an application to Angers, asking for additional funds to build a tenth waterproof barrier, so that even if the land flooded Watt Alheim would still be safe and sound, and would preserve the fire of mankind like Noah's Ark in the Bible.
Ange joked that it would be better for him to allocate some more funds and ask the equipment department to dig a refuge passage from the principal's office to Vat Alheim, so that if the end came, Ange could roll all the way to Vat Alheim for refuge. But the head of the armament department, Director Akadullah, actually refused, on the following grounds:
"In the face of apocalyptic disasters, we should take refuge, the entire civilization of mankind is preserved in our brain cells, and we protect ourselves as the fire that protects humanity. And what's the use of your escape? You are the leader, and the leader should live and die with the majority. After the end of the world, humanity will not need leaders, only engineers to rebuild civilization. Like Adam and Eve, we will remultiply humanity, teach our descendants how to use advanced tools, teach them logic, philosophy, science, and alchemy, and let them pass on the spark of civilization from generation to generation. We will also tell them the story of your sacrifice for humanity, Headmaster. ”
Ange couldn't stand it anymore and patted Director Akadullah on the shoulder: "My dear Director Akadullah Ahmed Mohamed Farouge, I am glad that you have not only done your job well but also thought about taking precautions to turn the tide and continue the flame of civilization for mankind when the catastrophe is coming. Even when you are old, you still have the courage to take on the heavy responsibility of Adam and Eve, and do not hesitate to reproduce humanity again! I was very impressed! But I think there's something that hasn't been thought out in the plan, and that's as a purely male department...... Without Eve, does it make sense for you to have a Garden of Eden of more than 100 Adams? ”
The Armament Department is indeed an all-male department, because no woman can last even a week in this department. There was once a Valkyrie-like woman who applied to join the Armament Department, she was so strong and brave, she learned to speak neurotic words and do neurotic things, and she also learned to eat junk food and play the mentally handicapped games of the next era, and won the favor of the entire Armament Department, but in the end she was defeated in front of Director Akadulla. The valiant girl walks into Director Akadulla's office and waits for the final interview. The men's urinal hung opposite the couch where she was sitting next to Director Akadulla's desk, and instead of sitting behind the desk waiting for her, Director Akadulla was shouting, "Cheer up!" Perk! Xiaoqiang, don't be discouraged! You can't die yet! If the world is destroyed one day, it will depend on you to pass on the genes and fire of mankind! ”
The valiant girl fled.
Ange's words clearly hit the soft underbelly of Akadulla's director. He wilted all of a sudden, hugged his head and thought for a long time, shook his head in frustration and said, "Even I have something that I don't think through!" In this way, this plan to save human civilization has failed! ”
Just when Ange thought the matter was over, he received a revised application. This time, the funding requirements have been increased because, in addition to the cost of waterproofing, Director Akadullah is also preparing to dig a vertical escape route. But not to Angers' office, but to the girls' dormitory.
"We're going to call that escape route 'Eve'!" Director Akadulla said with a beaming look, "This plan is foolproof, isn't it?" Principal, please correct! ”
