Chapter 4: Turbulent Times
Returning to the classroom with a body of dirt, Xiang Chen ignored the strange stares of the others and returned to his seat by himself.
In fact, the relationship between Xiang Chen and his classmates is good, because in the long-term close contact, the classmates in the class can also feel Xiang Chen's transformation, and slowly, Xiang Chen is not such a special existence in everyone's eyes.
There was still some time before the start of the morning class, and the students in the class were chatting enthusiastically about the gossip they were interested in.
"Have you heard, Chang Can of Class 2 has broken through to become an official martial artist! From now on, we are the three major warriors in 9. ”
"Really, Chang Can actually broke through to a one-star martial artist?"
"Really, I heard that his father who is engaged in catering spent a lot of money to buy qi and blood pills, so he must not fall behind at the beginning of the strength outbreak period."
"It's great, if only my dad could spend so much money to train me."
"What kind of dream are you, the pills are basically monopolized by pharmaceutical companies, so the price, tsk, let's just think about it."
The discussion in the class made Xiang Chen can't help but prick up his ears and sound, there is no way, as soon as he talks about things related to martial artists, he still can't help but want to come over to understand.
"It's a pity, Chang Can has only broken through now, this is about to take the college entrance examination, the university's special recruitment invitation has long ended, obviously breaking through to the martial arts, but he can't get the special recruitment quota, that taste, tsk." Someone gloated.
"I can't say that, Chang Can's liberal arts grades have always been very good, and he is sure to be admitted to Nanda, with the strength of his martial arts, the second stage of the martial arts examination is worry-free, and he will definitely be able to enter the martial arts department."
"Can the people who are admitted be the same, and the resources enjoyed by special students are very different."
"I heard that the Nanjing Dojo sent him an invitation to cultivate seeds, and although the seed cultivation of the Nanjing Dojo is not as good as the special enrollment of the martial arts department of Nanda, it is still good."
Hearing this, Xiang Chen's expression became more and more trance-like, and the time seemed to go back to three years ago, when he first entered high school.
……
"Humph! What is the special enrollment, I am so talented, unless the admissions office of NTU is blind, the special enrollment quota is not enough! At the dining table, Xiang Chen, who had a childish face, said to his parents and sister in high spirits.
On this day, Xiang Chen had just won the Young Talent Competition held by the Nanjing Dojo, and his mother made a sumptuous meal to celebrate.
At that time, Xiang Chen even ignored the dissuasion of his family and willfully used all the bonus of 50,000 yuan to buy a motorcycle.
"It's just 50,000 yuan! Don't worry, I'm such a genius, this kind of small money will come quickly, now let this day enjoy the feeling of galloping! ”
Although Xiang Chen's family is not poor, his parents are both employees of the company, and there is no problem with basic living security. However, due to the shortage of educational resources and the extremely high cost of tuition, it is not easy for parents to support their siblings.
50,000 yuan is definitely not a small amount of money for Xiang Chen's family, and it can greatly alleviate the family's financial difficulties.
But for 50,000 yuan, Xiang Chen insisted on buying a motorcycle that was useless except for pulling the wind! At that time, Xiang Chen's father was furious, but Xiang Chen didn't care about his father's words at all, and he felt that his father couldn't understand the idea of a genius when he was young.
How could Xiang Chen, who was arrogant at that time, know that this 50,000 yuan was the first and last prize he won.
……
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Xiang Chen now recalled his naivety and arrogance at the beginning, and he really felt ridiculous and pathetic.
took out the books, even if he didn't plan to go to college, Xiang Chen still didn't want to spend the last two weeks, and only after losing did he know how to cherish it, and now Xiang Chen cherishes everything he has.
Family, friends, everything, he didn't want to lose.
Before I knew it, the bell for class rang, and the bell was jammed, and a lame sturdy old man walked outside, making a constant clicking sound as he walked.
One of his legs turned out to be a steel prosthetic leg!
The old man's surname is Li, and he is the head teacher of Xiang Chen's class and their Chinese teacher.
Sitting at the back of the podium, the old man glanced coldly at the students under the podium.
Until the class was completely quiet, the old man didn't take the textbook, just sat and talked about the class.
"Little cubs, the college entrance examination is coming soon, and as you know, the content of the current history class has been kneaded into the language. His grandmother's, all in two, the total score is still compressed, those in the college entrance examination group know to blindly increase the proportion of mathematics and science, thinking that it can be useful to fight against alien beasts and scientists alone? ”
Old man Li scolded and scolded, and as he spoke, he lifted his prosthetic leg and slammed it on the podium.
Pointing to his prosthetic leg, Old Man Li said emotionally: "Warrior! Warriors are the vanguard of human beings fighting against alien beasts! Since the old man who fought the god of war opened the new era of martial arts, the highest social status is now the warriors!
"If you don't learn the language well, don't know the history, and can't remember the contributions of the pioneers, what can you do to become a warrior!"
The crowd below was indifferent, because the scene in front of them was basically staged once a day before Chinese class.
After scolding, Old Man Li also began to lecture.
"Last week, I reviewed all the pre-21st century history, and it wasn't important. This week begins a review of the history of the New Age, namely the era of interstellar exploration in the early 21st century, the era of interstellar colonization in the middle and late stages, and the all-important event of the Great Destruction of the 22nd century and the era of recovery beyond. Squad leader, let's summarize it briefly.
"It's the teacher. Let's start with the era of interstellar exploration. The squad leader was a quiet-eyed young man, he thought for a while and began to introduce.
"At the beginning of the 21st century, mankind has entered a stage of rapid development of science and technology, until 2050, with the maturity of nuclear fusion energy technology and the research of antimatter energy, interstellar navigation is no longer a dream for mankind."
"In addition to Mercury, which is too close to the Sun, and Uranus Neptune, which is too far away, human space carriers have set foot on Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, and so far, including the Moon, which has successfully colonized as early as 2030, human colonization has officially spread all over the solar system."
"In the following 50 years, the solar system developed rapidly, and of course, the political structure of the other major planets at that time was also modeled after the Earth, and it was an Earth Federation composed of various countries on the Earth."
"With the conquest of the solar system, human beings are no longer content to be imprisoned in the solar system, and scientists are focusing on the study of curvature space, hoping to provide sufficient power for long-distance interstellar expeditions."
In 2099, scientist Baylor. Heard officially announced that the theory of curvature space is mature, and human beings are about to travel through curvature space to conquer the universe, and the era of human exploration has begun! At that time, the five planets, the moon, and all mankind rejoiced, and everyone believed that the prosperous era was coming. ”
"In the same year, the solar system fleet was ready to go, and under the real-time broadcast of the pan-solar system, the Kuiper belt at the edge of the solar system opened a wormhole."
"It is not the prosperous age that embraces humanity, but the devil in Pandora's box."
"And Baylor, who should have been a hero of mankind and passed on for centuries. Hilde, also known as the one who awakened the devil. ”
"Under the attention of all mankind, 7 meteorite-like flying objects were instantly erupted from the newly opened wormhole."
"Seven meteorites instantly destroyed the super fleet group that mankind considered invincible, and at the same time, as if it had a purpose, flew to the five planets and the moon where mankind lived."
"Two of them are Saturn, and one of the others."
The 'meteorite' is not large, and it does not cause a devastating impact after hitting the ground, but the material ejected from the meteorite is the real disaster for mankind. ”
"What substance, this is the test point." Lao Li Tou interjected.
"Officially named Cambrian Oxygen Factor. Somewhat similar to the Cambrian era, oxygen levels on various planets skyrocketed, greatly stimulating the evolution of organisms, and were so irritating that affected organisms became berserk.
"Animals and plants are no longer what we know. Even the puppies that used to be cute have now become monsters two or three meters tall, and the most common fanged dogs of dogs, bloodthirsty wolfdogs, are monsters that can easily slaughter humans. Not to mention the lions, tigers and other beasts before the disaster. ”
"Nowadays, these monsters are collectively called alien beasts. In the six years from 2099 to 2105, at least four-fifths of the Earth's population died, and billions of people died at the mouths of monsters. ”
"Okay, the Great Destruction is in 2105, and let's talk about the recovery era." Old man Li interrupted the squad leader's speech.
After sorting out the knowledge points, the squad leader continued: "The era of recovery is the era of warriors. At the beginning of the evolution of alien beasts, human beings were not unable to compete with guns, but as time went by, the evolution of alien beasts became more targeted, and the effect of guns on them was constantly decreasing. ”
"Especially at the end of 2103, with the collapse of the world's defenses, humanity once thought that the moment of extinction had come. But the so-called world makes heroes, and in chaotic times, there are always people who come forward. ”
"Cambrian oxygen factor mainly acts on animals and plants, and has a limited effect on humans, but there are still some people who have strong mutations and produce extremely strong physiques, but the first is that the amplitude is not large, and the second is that the randomness is too strong and has no popularization effect, so it has not been paid too much attention."
"But even in today's era, there are still some people who are keen on ancient martial arts, no matter how unrealistic what is written in the book, they have always persevered."
"But with the intake of strong oxygen factors, people have found that the boxing methods mentioned in ancient books, and even exercises, are no longer fantastical, but really feasible, and martial artists were born."
"The most shocking event was the bloody battle that took place in Kyoto on November 7, 2104. Xue Dongwei, the god of war, tore a king-level beast with his hand, and then killed two king-level beasts with one shot in the beast tide. ”
"In the end, the Emperor-level Alien Beast Ape Emperor Glazed King Kong fought to the death, repelling the beast tide. Since then, he has also been known as the first person in China and the leader of Huaxia Xinwu. ”
"Other countries around the world have also come forward with the trendsetters of the times, although in different ways, but there are also similar ideas, such as African wizards combining witchcraft, the United States combining technology and martial arts to create a unique new martial arts, India's ancient yoga, in short, in the final analysis, can be classified as a word for martial arts."
"Well, that's right, in fact, with the development of the next fifty years, as of today, 2155 years, the world's martial arts have tended to be integrated, each family is learning from each other's strengths, there is no essential difference, but the exercises still have their own characteristics. Let's talk about the martial arts of other planets. Old man Li added.
"The Moon's technology has always been ahead of the Earth, especially in terms of genetics, and it is said that the Moon's situation is actually much better than that of the Earth."
"Although there are no other aborigines on the moon and other planets, the materials brought by their meteorites are also slightly different, and combined with the rapid development of the environment and microorganisms, they have also given birth to exotic beasts with their own planetary characteristics."
"It may not be as good as the earth in terms of quantity, but it is definitely not inferior in quality."
"In addition, the total population and technological level of Mars, Venus, and Jupiter are still far inferior to those of Earth, so the situation of other planets other than the Moon is not optimistic."
"Of course, even in the case of a devastating blow to the space forces, the various planets of mankind are still actively maintaining interstellar communication and achieving information exchange. This is also the fundamental reason why other planets can learn from experience and develop martial arts to fight against alien beasts in the first time after the rise of the earth's martial arts. ”
"And the attributes of the planet are different, and the martial arts are also very different, like the warriors of Mars, it is said that there will even be flames in their moves. In short, this is the era of martial artists. The squad leader finally added.
