Chapter 21: Coming Home
Chu Jun's test of one subject, four or five courses in a row are in a similar situation, and there is no data interface that can be loaded at all. There is a tutorial on the use of melee cold weapons, but there is a wealth of image materials, and it is a three-dimensional image presentation, but in Chu Jungui's opinion, this image is full of mistakes and omissions, many times it can directly hit the opponent's vital point, but it has to add a lot of fancy foreshadowing.
"What kind of tricks are you going to make? The opponent is obviously empty, as long as he stabs it in 0.07 seconds, isn't it done?"
Chu Jungui, who was confused, looked at its version number, version 1.9, so he subconsciously attributed the reason for the error in the image to the data distortion.
Just as he was about to try a few more low-level courses, an announcement sounded in the cabin: "Arriving at the Moon Star Harbor, please pack your belongings and prepare to disembark." ”
Except for the uniforms and personal equipment issued by the academy, Chu Jungui didn't have any personal belongings. Most of the equipment issued by the academy is packed in a standard backpack, which can be carried on the back and you can go.
After finishing one piece, Chu Jungui suddenly remembered something, and when he pressed it on the wall, a screen appeared on the originally blank wall, which was converted into a simulated porthole.
Outside the window, a blue planet appeared, with large dark green patches on it, which was extremely magnificent. From afar, life comes to life.
The transport ship slowed down and entered the atmosphere of the moon wing, then quickly descended towards a continent and finally landed in a starport along the coast.
The Star Harbor is a magnificent building that resembles a giant tree, with patches of landing platforms shaped like leaves sticking out of the surrounding area, and the height is staggered. The transport ship landed on a platform, and the trainees on board had already lined up, waiting for the hatch to open, and one by one they walked out of the spaceship.
Walking out of the spaceship, the oncoming strong light made Chu Jungui's eyes squint slightly. Several drones flew over the students' heads and began to scan them one by one.
Chu Jungui followed behind the team, and a moment later a drone came overhead, and the pale green scanning light sprinkled and began to scan.
Chu Jungui instinctively activated the tactical deception, his heart beat evenly, the blood flow was smooth, and he waited for the scan to end.
"Passed the identity check, passed the physiological function test, found no lethal or unknown microorganisms, and was allowed to enter the moon wing. ”
The drone flew to the next student, and Chu Jungui followed the students who had already passed in front of him to the exit at the end of the hall.
As soon as he got out of the turnstile, Qin Yi was already waiting there. He stopped Chu Jungui, and a projection of a card appeared in his palm, and then as soon as he sent it forward, the virtual card flew into Chu Jungui's body.
The account balance of Chu Jungui's identity chip instantly changed from zero to 10,000.
Qin Yi teleported a road map again, and then said, "Just now it was the freshman subsidy that the academy gave you. In addition, we have also read your information, and your grandfather happens to be in Yueyongxing. Something happened that gave you a three-day vacation so you could go back and have a look. Three days later, by 12:00 p.m., you'll have to report back to the Academy. I have sent you the school address. ”
"Yes, instructor. "Chu Jungui has learned the etiquette that should be in the academy.
Qin Yi didn't care about this, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, you are already your own person." When you're not in the academy, you don't need to do this. The spaceship home is over there, the road is a little far, hurry up, and catch the next spaceship. ”
Xinggang is a huge transportation hub, Chu Jungui followed the prompts, found a self-service terminal next to it, entered the destination address, and the terminal automatically formed a route map and loaded it into Chu Jungui's identity chip.
According to the instructions of the road map, Chu Jungui passed through the three regions of Xinggang in a row before he found the spaceship to be taken, but fortunately he was in time. There were still seats on the spaceship, so Chu Jungui bought a ticket at the terminal in the waiting area, and after a while, he entered the spaceship and sat in his seat.
This is a young Kun-type passenger spacecraft that specializes in intraplanetary flights, and also has the ability to fly short distances in outer space. The interior of the passenger spacecraft's cabin was obviously outdated, it had not yet taken off, and the roar of the engines as they warmed up was noisy.
The cabin was very crowded, and the seats were very narrow, even if you sat in with Chu Jungui's body, it felt a little cramped. His legs don't even want to be straight.
Passengers boarded the ship one after another, and the cabins were soon filled.
The ship is not comfortable and fast, and the only advantage is that it is cheap. Most people can only afford to sit on a ship of this class.
Moments later, the spacecraft took off. Chu Jungui couldn't move, and he knew that there was a two-hour flight, so he simply closed his eyes and rested, and at the same time reduced his hearing acuity.
After a short rest, the spaceship has arrived at its destination, Laizhou City.
According to the route map, Chu Jungui walked out of the airport and took the bus to the city.
Even though it is already the year 3443 A.D., and humans can easily jump hundreds of light-years in outer space, on the moon star, the floating shuttle in the city is still a very expensive means of transportation, and only a few wealthy people can enjoy it. Most ordinary people have to take the bus or subway. This mode of transportation is naturally inefficient, but it is cheap enough that the time of ordinary people is not worth much anyway.
It's almost dusk, and there aren't many passengers on the bus at this time, so it looks empty, adding to the gloom. Chu Jungui chose a position by the window and sat down, quietly looking out the window.
As you get closer to the city center, the buildings on both sides of the road become taller and denser. The road itself is also quite wide, and most of the street lights on both sides are still on.
Chu Jungui's vision flashed the system time and local time. It's four o'clock in the afternoon local time, and it's already getting dark.
Although the street lights are on, it can be seen that the municipal government is very conscientiously maintained, but the lamp poles can no longer hide the traces of time, and large patches of peeling paint have not been repaired.
The tall buildings on both sides should have witnessed the prosperity of the past, but they also inevitably grew old. The facades of many of the buildings are broken, and the traces of rainwater running down from the rooftops to the waist give a hint of the post-industrial era.
Some of the buildings had broken windows, covered with planks or whatever. If the dilapidated height of a building represents the depression of the entire city, then the broken windows mean the poverty of the common people.
There were also a few passengers on the bus, no one spoke, and the lights were not turned on in the car.
Finally, the bus entered the station, and Chu Jun got up and got off. He followed the route map and crossed two intersections to a high-rise apartment.
When you look at it from afar, you will feel that these high-rise buildings still have some remnants of the glory and momentum of the past. But standing in front of him at this moment, Chu Jungui found that it was beyond imagination.
There was only a dim overhead light in the lobby of the apartment building, which dimly illuminated everything. The concierge was so cramped that the lights were not turned on until now. Behind the window sat an old man, wrapped in a thick cotton coat and holding an old-fashioned tablet, watching an old movie. The computer bezels are very thick, and the screen color is also a little distorted, so I don't know what year it is.
This tablet can be regarded as the most technological thing that Chu Jungui saw after getting off the bus.
The old man didn't raise his head and said, "This is a private apartment, you can't just enter it." Who are you looking for?"
"Chu Longtu, I'm his...... Grandson. ”
The old man finally raised his head, glanced at Chu Jungui, and said, "His grandsons are so old...... Well, you go up. He is in the third room on the left on the 24th floor. The elevator is over there, and it stops occasionally, so don't worry, just kick a few feet at the panel. ”
"Okay. Chu Jungui didn't know how to complain, so he could only remain polite. The elevator door is hidden at the end of the dimly lit passageway, and only the numbers on the floor display on the pivot give a faint red glow.
After taking two steps, Chu Jungui couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Aren't you wearing so much?"
The old man raised his head, lifted his glasses, and said, "You haven't been back for too long, and you have forgotten the climate here. At night, it can be very cold. ”
Chu Jungui looked at the dilapidated scene around him, and did not ask the stupid question of why there was no heating equipment.
He stepped into the elevator, pressed the 24th floor, and swayed upwards with a creaking sound.
This time it was lucky, Chu Jungui didn't have the opportunity to kick the control panel a few times, and he reached the 24th floor. It's so dark in the corridor that you can't see your fingers, and I don't know if the corridor light is broken or someone has demolished it. The window at the end of the hallway has only a window frame and no glass. The night breeze was blowing in through the windows, and it was already starting to feel a chill.
Chu Jungui turned to the left, stood still in front of the third door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened, revealing a tall figure.
His beard is already half gray and half white, his thick beard can't hide the majesty of not being angry and arrogant, and his eyes are even more magical, as if they can penetrate Chu Jungui's body and see all his secrets.
This old man is half a head taller than Chu Jun, like a lion, although he is old, his majesty is still there.
He saw Jun Gui's face clearly, his face changed obviously, and said, "You ......"
"I'm Chu Jungui, Dr. Chu asked me to come here to find an old gentleman named Chu Longtu, that's my ...... Grandfather. ”
This grandfather's cry was extremely natural, and the tactical deception was not activated at all. Chu Jungui suddenly felt an indescribable mood swing in his heart, as if some hot liquid was about to pour out of his eyes.
"Is your name Jungui...... Come on in. The old man stepped out of the way.
Chu Jungui walked into the apartment and took the opportunity to suppress the mood swings.
Entering the door is a small square hall, where the restaurant is also placed. There are two rooms inside, the door of the master bedroom is open, and in addition to the bed, there is a chaise longue facing the screen on the wall. The door to the other room was closed.
"Sit down. The old man poured a glass of water, took a few more pills and put them on the table, and sat opposite Chu Jungui.
Chu Jungui sorted out his memories and said, "That's the case, Dr. Chu gave me the address here......"
"I am Chu Longtu. You...... Since he named you Chu Jungui, then ......" The old man's face flashed with pain, and he grabbed a medicine with a trembling hand and swallowed it with water, so that he could continue to speak.
“...... He's not coming back, is he?"
Chu Jungui's eyes flashed in front of his eyes the moment when the doctor finally drove the plane towards the enemy group, his heart trembled, and finally he just nodded.
The old man sighed, his face gradually calmed down, and said, "Let me take another pill." ”
After taking the medicine, after a full moment, the old man's pale face regained some blood, and he said, "He is my son and your father." ”
