The first lecture was "On the Influence of Foreign Frontier Wars on the Development of Empires." ”

The subject is very large, and if you really want to talk about it openly without restrictions, the old man who taught it would not be able to finish it for three days and three nights! Because this is not a simple course, but a complex and huge set of disciplines that have been developed for thousands of years!

After seeing the special jade-patterned nameplate on his chest, Xiao Junling, who had just entered the classroom, was immediately taken directly to the most comfortable seat in the front row by the waiter waiting at the door, and suddenly almost all the eyes in the room converged on him, curious, envious, confused, jealous, and hateful...... And so on.

In the classroom with an area of hundreds of square meters, basically all the seats have been filled, only the front row of more than two dozen spacious and comfortable seats are empty, but no one dares to go over to occupy the seats, because it is only for the students of the God of War of the Silent Star.

The composition of the students who came to listen to the lecture was also very complex, ranging from black-eyed and black-haired Chinese to blue-eyed and blonde foreigners, from teenagers to gray-haired old men, and even some alien races attached to the Chinese Empire, such as a few Yanwei students in the corner. Their upper body is indistinguishable from that of a human, while the lower body is in the shape of a colorful snake tail.

The strength of the Yanwei Kingdom belongs to the middle level in the Xinghai Shilu Realm, and it is one of the few foreign civilizations that have a good relationship with the Chinese Empire, and a large number of Yanwei students come to the Chinese Empire for further study every year.

Xiao Junling chose a position facing the podium and sat down, and after a few minutes, a white-clothed girl with a beautiful face came in at the door, he looked up, and his brows suddenly furrowed. Because it was none other than Yang Yueqi, who I met yesterday.

At this time, the girl also saw him, and a flash of surprise flashed in her bright big eyes, and she took a few steps quickly, as if she wanted to rush over regardless of it. Immediately, he realized that his own approach was inappropriate, so he quickly slowed down his pace.

"Can I sit here?" She walked up to him, leaned over and spoke softly.

Seeing that his expression was a little hesitant, she hurriedly explained: "What happened yesterday was my fault, I can apologize to you, don't worry, I won't embarrass you again." ”

"It's okay, you can sit wherever you like!" Xiao Junling said with a smile.

Everyone is already like this, what can he say about his former relatives? In other words, in the past impression, this girl's temperament is very rude and domineering, and it is not easy to make her bow her head and admit her mistakes.

Yang Yueqi breathed a sigh of relief, put the light brain in his hand on the seat next to him, sat down and looked at the surroundings for a moment, and then turned to Zhen's head, secretly looking at him without speaking. I want to talk to him, but I have a little scruples.

The footsteps at the door sounded again, and two more young men and women walked in, it was actually Zuo Shiji and Wu Jing. Then just to catch his breath, Jiang Yanyun's figure also appeared at the door, and looking at the nameplate on their chests, they all had the identity of a student of the Silent Star God of War.

Wu Jingmiao's eyes turned around, and she suddenly found Xiao Junling sitting in the front row, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Zuo Shiji's sleeve without a trace.

Zuo Shiji reacted quickly, smiled and stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Junling, I didn't expect to be able to meet you here, what a coincidence!" ”

He squinted his eyes and looked at the other party for a few seconds, before he gently reached out and shook him, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's really a coincidence, Lieutenant Colonel Zuo...... No, I should call you senior now, I don't know which of your highnesses your teacher is? ”

For example, the descendants of a wealthy family like the other party, the strong people in the family are like clouds, and they have a profound background, so they don't necessarily need to come to the Silent Star Temple to choose another teacher, except for special reasons.

Zuo Shiji seemed to have expected him to ask this question a long time ago, and immediately explained: "It's His Royal Highness Zhong Yinshuang, because my ability and talent are a little special, and the old ancestor in the family thinks that I can find a more suitable path for myself when I come to the Silent Star Temple, so ...... That's it! ”

I see, Sensei asked, his girlfriend Wu Jing should be in a similar situation. However, to be able to find an ideal teacher in the Temple of the Silent Star and who is willing to accept them, the families behind these two must have paid a lot of price for this!

Jiang Yanyun also discovered Xiao Junling's existence, the smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen, and an imperceptible yin owl flashed in his eyes.

It's just that on such an occasion, it is obviously not suitable to provoke and seek revenge, not to mention that the other party is not necessarily afraid of him, and there is not much chance of winning when he makes a move, and once the matter is big, if the temple high-level knows, he may be punished.

With a cold snort, he picked a seat in the front row and sat down. With his head down, he turned on the light brain on his wrist and began to send messages.

"Who is this teacher?" He asked Zuo Shiji in a whispered with some surprise.

It seems that this guy originally planned to worship under Xichen Qinglan's door, but because she didn't agree, the matter was stopped. That's why he took the opportunity to provoke and try to humiliate him at the celebration cocktail party later.

It's just that now it seems that this guy still got his wish, and I don't know which His Highness accepted him.

"Oh, he'......" Zuo Shiji chuckled and turned his head sideways, and whispered to him:

"It's His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun Ting, who has a violent temper and is famous for his thirst for killing, he has been traveling in the Savage Star Domain, but I heard that he was injured later, so he recently returned to the imperial capital to recuperate. It is said that in order to let the big man relax, the head of his family gave a lot of extra benefits! ”

Xiao Junling nodded, and wanted to say something, but at this time, the class time had come, and the old man who was resting in the corner had already stood up from his seat and walked quickly to the podium to start teaching.

This old man named Qian Jingrong, dressed in old-fashioned and conservative clothes, has the title of associate professor and second-level lecturer, and his own strength is the Star Transformation Realm, and his status in the Silent Star Temple belongs to the middle level, and the kind that is not high or low.

Coughing lightly, he spoke slowly and methodically: "As the old saying goes: the way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking; The way of man is to make up for the lack of ......"

Seeing the confused looks of the students below, he frowned a little unhappily and said, "Is this difficult to understand?" Is your level too low? Or am I getting higher and higher? ”

"Alright! To put it another way, as early as the age of the earth, our ancestors discovered the Matthew effect that is prevalent in human society, in which the poor get poorer and the rich get richer...... This phenomenon objectively exists, and runs through the past, present and future of the entire human civilization, and does not change by human will, just like now, our Chinese Empire ......"

The students below sat silently and said nothing.

Qian Jingrong finally got a little annoyed, slapped the table with a "bang", and scolded angrily with a straight face: "Why don't you guys have a long brain?" Isn't that clear enough! You can sit here and prove that you are all elite students of the Empire! How can this comprehension be so bad that it is not even as good as a pig......"

This old man's words are actually not profound, of course Xiao Junling can understand it, I believe that among the people here, except for those students from foreign civilizations who may be a little confused, it is not difficult for others to understand.

The crux of the matter is, do his words have any direct relevance to the topic of today's lecture?

Qian Jingrong scolded for more than ten minutes, then slammed the table and shouted, "Okay!" Since you're all a bunch of elm pimple heads, I'll put it more bluntly......"

"The so-called foreign exploration war is to grab money, food, land, food, clothing, and women——!"

"As long as we can use it, what we can see, and what is beneficial to the development of the empire, whatever it is, we must take it back without any left——!

"We have grabbed more good things, and those damn dogs, mothers, and alien civilizations can grab even less! So our human civilization is getting stronger and stronger, and those damn guys are getting weaker and weaker——! ”

"Just keep grabbing, grabbing! We have been robbing for thousands of years, not only with those damn alien races, but also with those greedy and shameless ghosts within the Anthropocene realm! Fortunately, the people of our Chinese Empire are relatively able to rob, no matter which side can't rob us! ”

"Until now, our Chinese civilization has gone from a small country in a corner of the earth to a superpower that now dominates the entire galaxy and has countless extra-system colonies, ecological planets, and resource star fields! It's all because we can grab it, our legions can grab it, so we can grab those good things from the hands of foreign civilizations——! ”

The classroom was silent, and the students were dumbfounded.

"This old man is very interesting...... Yang Yueqi covered her mouth and laughed in a low voice.

Xiao Junling deeply agreed, although Qian Jingrong's words were rude and direct, they showed the essence of the foreign exploration war and the fundamental impact on human civilization!

Since human beings have walked out of the earth, exploring the unfamiliar world of the stars and seas, searching for resources, shipping lanes, habitable planets, etc., has always been the primary task of interstellar voyages!

Exploration, discovery, possession, utilization...... These few key words can summarize the entire purpose of the Anthropocene realm to enter the starry sky! Of course, there is one most important word: war!

No matter how big the Star Sea World Realm is, all kinds of resources are not endless, and they can be extravagant enough to allow any intelligent race living in it to live a prosperous and healthy life! Therefore, according to the tradition of human civilization, in order to compete for resources and living space, many intelligent races have to sit together to "demonstrate" who has the bigger fist, so as to determine the amount of resources and territory they occupy.

Fortunately, the fist of human civilization has always been relatively large and hard enough, and it has rich "experience in argumentation", and it can compete with a long and short alien civilization, and in the end, it can not escape the tragic fate of defeat and collapse, and death and annihilation!

The history of the rise of human civilization is a history of wars with foreign races competing for various resources for survival and development!
