Chapter 49: Starry Skybull
The stream in the forest trickled, and Xu Fan, who was gradually adapting to the night, looked at the girl beside him and asked, "What does the ancient legend you said have to do with the origin of this snow firefly?" ”
Don't blame him for not understanding the amorous feelings, it's really what the girl said - he can't understand it!
You're obviously embarrassed to ask a boy who studies history, loves mechanical maintenance, and has a lot of nerves to listen to philosophy and the like.
Xu Fan obviously saw Lu Ya on his side stiffen, and then the girl's crisp voice sounded: "...... Xu Fan, I'm curious, why do you know so much? ”
During the day, more than a dozen people got along, Lu Ya was embarrassed to ask the doubts in her heart, and while the two were alone tonight, she thought of an opening statement, and subconsciously said some rumors circulating in the family to test the teenager.
However, the boy did not understand what was said, although this fact was expected to be true.
It hurt her.
The Xiao family where she is located is actually a very old force. After thousands of years, from the turbulent dark ages before the galactic calendar, the family civilization has extended to the present.
The legend she was talking about, including the words 'origin, rise, and return to nothingness', was actually a sentence that was known to the ancient forces of the Human Federation, similar to their Xiao family.
It was an ancient saying handed down by the sages before the launch of the Great Voyage Program, which can even be traced back to the origin of mankind.
Today's galactic calendar, the Human Federation, is a human civilization built based on the precedent of interstellar migration created by the civilized race at that time.
Listening to Xu Fan's voice that didn't seem to be fake, Lu Ya completely lost the temptation.
She knew that this classmate Xu Fan, who was extraordinary, should not be the descendant of some ancient and down-and-out forces.
may be really as cousin Xiao Meng said, really an orphan with good luck.
Although orphans in the Human Federation are quite rare at the current level of technology, it does not mean that there are none.
Parents who can ruthlessly abandon their children can be seen in any era.
Xu Fan naturally didn't know the girl beside him, because of his demeanor, he thought a lot, and even took pity on him.
If he knew what the girl was thinking, I was afraid that he would cry out for wrongdoing, he still had relatives, although his father was unreliable, but after all, he was his son.
"In my spare time, I like to read some miscellaneous articles on Skynet, and I naturally know more." Xu Fan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
He knew what Lu Ya was asking, it should be his familiarity with the toxicity of various poisonous insects in the forest, and how to deal with it.
However, what he wants to say is that the theoretical knowledge of mechanical maintenance is not as simple as dealing with metal.
For example, the human body knowledge involved in the creation of various mecha that are popular in various galaxies and popular at the moment.
The human body is actually one of the most complex disciplines, and no one has ever dared to claim to have a thorough understanding of the human body.
The study of human brain consciousness alone has caused many graduate students in human body science to sink into the sand and suffer heavy losses.
On this, but it is not allowed to be sloppy.
After all, mecha is another body of a human being in another sense.
The first thing to do is to manipulate this steel 'body', and the data details that need to be mastered, once there is a little mistake, it is equivalent to breaking hands and feet, and it is difficult to coordinate.
Therefore, the most basic knowledge that they need to learn is to ensure the safety of the human body, the carrier of consciousness.
As the carrier of human consciousness and the carrying container of the spirit, especially the brain, the human body has a complex structure and many neural origins, which is as mysterious as the countless clusters and planets in the galaxy.
From the composition of the human body, the tolerance of the gene chain, the resistance of brain neurons to carry cells, flesh and blood in the body, to the most direct feedback to the brain and the processing of the direct information of the limbs, the human body is inseparable from the human body.
The poison that can destroy the gene cells in a small area of the human body, as well as the antidote needed to repair this damage, is actually the same as being equipped with a recovery solution, as long as the characteristics of the two factors are found correctly.
Xu Fan, who was tilting his head sideways, saw Lu Ya and smiled, but did not say anything.
He won't talk about it anymore.
The two of them sat quietly beside the stream where they could only hear the sound of the water, listening to the chirping of the insects at night, and they almost forgot that this was a survival training.
For three days, although they were plagued by poisonous insects and poisonous food all day, and lost five careless group members, for the two of them and even most of them, it was actually the same as an outing.
To be honest, if it weren't for the disunity of the team, Xu Fan would have been disappointed in this training a long time ago.
The faint sense of expectation in my heart has gradually been polished away in the trivialities of three days.
What Instructor Wu Shixun said, he didn't say anything about the natives, and he had to intrigue with the students from the same college.
This made Xu Fan, who was originally calm, very tired, and even doubted whether the trip was worth it for the sake of the one million federal coins.
——
Most of the rookies, including Xu Fan, suspected that the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and Instructor John exaggerated this training, and when there was a lot of discussion at night, far away from the modern forest, the mountaintop training ground that covered a huge area.
The originally flat ground sounded very abruptly at night.
Then, as someone in a building watched the light curtain gave an order, on the training ground, the searchlight suddenly turned on, and on the hard surface, a large area was sunk into a large depression, and the metal blocks were spliced together into steps, from the bottom to the top, winding out.
At a certain moment, as if ordered to do so, large insects with strange shapes, huge long jaws, receding joints, green and hard armor, and half-human height, swarmed out and divided into several formations on the training ground, the compound eyes on their heads flickered, quietly waiting for something.
Suddenly, a thunderous whistle sounded in the bugs' sonic signal processing organs, which was difficult to hear with human hearing.
Under this searchlight, an army of ugly-looking insects opened the thin wings hidden under the outer bone armor and waved vigorously.
Buzz!
For a time, the empty training ground was dusty!
This group of thousands of large insects, flickering their elytra, soared into the air.
As the whistle fluctuated, the army of insects raised by humans in the air divided into dozens of groups, led by the largest of them, and flew towards the dense forest below the mountain.
Three hundred meters from the training ground, the "nest" of bugs, in a six-story building.
Chief Instructor John Brown. Niedepp, hanging up video communication with his superiors, looked worried.
In this recruitment process, his top boss is no longer satisfied with the status quo.
Let him improve the process as soon as possible.
Because...... Under the surface of federal peace, the contradictions between several dignified members of parliament have reached a fever pitch, and war is on the verge of breaking out!
The instructors, who are scattered across the star systems to select reserve mechs, must be finalized within two months.
Since it has already been tested for mecha piloting talent, this fanfare training is not so important.
If you need to sharpen, brutal battles are the best teachers.
Now, a large part of the selection training of these rookies is just for the sake of walking form.
Or rather, it is to gather loyal warriors and give them a sense of ritual.
In fact, the candidate has already been decided after the physical fitness test results are out.
As for the one that just flew away, this kind of insect that originally lived in the modern primeval forest and was called the Star Sky Cow was actually one of the captive pets of the Rhea people.
This insect has a low intelligence, is naturally violent, thirsty to kill, has a strong instinct to fight and territory, and feeds on the bark and decaying creatures of the birthday tree.
Since being accidentally captured by humans, after cultivation, it has become the last combat test for all kinds of new special service members of the 7521 Federation Army.
