Yun Lan pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever practiced Force Flexibility before?" ”

Xu Hao was stunned: "No, this is the first time I've heard the word Force Softness." ”

Yun Lan nodded and gestured to the female robot next to her, who was holding a tray and placing it on the table. The tray was piled up with a large number of parts, Xu Hao glanced at it and immediately recognized that this was the part of the energy pistol. So many parts were removed from at least four energy pistols.

Yun Lan said: "You assemble a pistol as fast as possible, of course, you can only use the Force, and you can't touch the parts of the gun with your hands. ”

Xu Hao is very familiar with the energy pistol, and he now carries one with him. The other students in the Empire are deeply influenced by the Force's culture, believing that the Force is undignified to carry a firearm, as if the Force with a gun is not forced. But Xu Hao never had such an idea, he was a pragmatic person, and many times in battle a pistol was more convenient than a lightsaber.

At this time, Yunlan asked him to assemble a firearm, which was his strong point, and the force urged, and one by one the firearm parts automatically flew into the air, and the "click" quickly assembled into an energy pistol.

The whole process was completed in 4 seconds, and he looked at Yun Lan with a slight smugness, he was confident that among the Force Academy students, the speed of assembling their own guns could rank among the top three.

Yun Lan shook her head: "It's too slow!" As soon as she finished speaking, a large number of parts in the tray floated into the air, suddenly coalescing, and in the blink of an eye they assembled into a pistol, the whole process less than a second.

Xu Hao was dumbfounded, Nima, can you do this? As if they were alive, all the parts automatically flew into the air and assembled instantly.

"Why am I faster than you?" Yun Lan asked.

Xu Hao already understood the trick, and he replied, "Teacher, you can use force in different directions in an instant. ”

"Not bad," Yun Lan pointed to a box of building blocks on the table, and said, "This kind of building blocks can be built into a solid model, when combining and dismantling, if you exert force in multiple directions at the same time, whether it is loading or dismantling, the speed will be greatly improved." This toy is for you.

"There are two toys, building blocks and bubbles, one is used to practice the multi-angle force of the Force, and the other is to practice the flexibility of the Force, and I usually practice more."

These are all basic skills involving the use of the Force, Xu Hao hurriedly replied: "Yes, I will carry it at any time in the future, and I will practice when I have time." ”

Yun Lan said again: "You still have a little understanding, I will accept you as a nominal apprentice first, if all aspects can satisfy me, I will officially accept you as an apprentice." If you can't meet my requirements, you can find another famous teacher. ”

Xu Hao was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you, teacher!" ”

The nominal apprenticeship is very false, and it is only listed as the object of inspection for the apprentice, and it is not formally taught. The duration of the inspection can be as short as one or two months, and as long as several years. This is a bit like in martial arts novels, where a named disciple has to pick up water and chop wood from the master first, and then inspect for a period of time before he can officially enter the master's door.

Yunlan said: "You go back, after the knighthood ceremony, you come to me again." ”

Xu Hao saluted Yunlan: "Yes, the student retires!" ”

After Xu Hao left, Yunlan looked up at the sky, and was silent for a long time before spit out two words: "Genius!" ”

In just three days, he was able to practice the Force to this point, and the student's basic skills were too solid, and the purity of the Force might still be above him. Her body of Force has been tempered thousands of times to have today's purity, but this disciple has just been promoted to a Force Force disciple, and the Force has been purified to an unimaginable level.

In fact, she had already decided to accept Xu Hao as an apprentice, and proposed a nominal apprenticeship to investigate or something, just to add a little training to Xu Hao, so that he could experience the difficulty of worshipping under her own door, and let him not be complacent.

Xu Hao left Yunlan's villa, and on the way back, he only had joy and shock, but he was not half complacent.

I was happy because I had the opportunity to become Yun Lan's disciple, and I was shocked because of Yun Lan's magic skills in assembling guns. Twenty or thirty parts were controlled in an instant, and the Force exerted force in different directions, and this kind of control was really amazing.

……

A month later, the Empire's biennial knighthood ceremony was held at the capital's administrative star.

The day before the knighthood ceremony, Xu Hao came to the State Guest House in the capital administrative region. More than 20 people were knighted this time, and all of them were knighted with the title of baron.

In the case of the Force, the Forceman confers the title of Baron. Force warriors grant the title of viscount and gain a continent as a territory; The Force knights confer the title of Earl and receive a planet as a territory. As for the earl and above, it is the Force who has made a great contribution to the country that is eligible.

Of the 26 people who were knighted this time, 21 were newly promoted original mechanics, the remaining three were generals who had made great military achievements, and two were outstanding scientists.

Among them, three of them are from the Force Academy, in addition to Xu Hao, there are also Feng Wu's classmates in the same class, and a senior brother in the third year. The rest are all former graduates, and it is rare to be promoted to a Primordial Mechanics apprentice while studying at the Academy.

The investiture is a very solemn ceremony in the Empire, held every two years, and even His Majesty used to occasionally attend, but in recent decades, His Majesty has not attended.

The list of knights is not announced in advance, and it is officially announced at the ceremony.

On March 1, 2024, the Imperial Calendar, at 8 p.m. in the Seema Imperial Standard Time, the Imperial Great Hall was packed. Celebrities were invited to watch the ceremony, and 200 reporters from well-known news media also came to the scene.

The ceremony was broadcast live on Imperial Television, the Quantum Imaging camera in the auditorium was activated, and the three-dimensional video was transmitted to countless homes in the Empire.

"Audience friends, the biennial investiture ceremony is about to begin. This year's investiture ceremony, as in previous years, began with the announcement of the new barons of science......"

As the live broadcast of the TV station began, the audience also became active.

"According to authoritative sources, two scientists and three generals will become nobles and be awarded the title of baron."

"The bookmaker hasn't closed the market yet, and now you can bet on which two scientists will win this award."

"Every ceremony is the same, it's boring. I hope that the ceremony will end soon and enter the later evening performance. This year, I invited my goddess Miss Mengyan to sing on stage, and Miss Mengyan was able to appear on this stage, which was finally recognized by the mainstream of society. ”

"There are only more than 20 Force people who have been knighted this time, which is much less than in previous years."

At this time, a host in the auditorium walked to the front desk and said in a loud voice: "The investiture ceremony in the year 32024 of the imperial calendar begins, everyone stands, and the envoy is invited to read out His Majesty's will." ”

Thousands of people stood in the entire auditorium, and the scene was silent. Xu Hao, Feng Wu and the others were seated in the front row of the auditorium, and they also stood up at this time.
