No matter what Parker thinks of Qi Xiaoyu, Qi Xiaoyu has now become a legend in the Covenant Military Academy. There are very few students who can show up in school so impressively. Qi Xiaoyu is not the only one, but he is the most special one.
Life in the military academy is relatively ordinary, but Qi Xiaoyu is extremely energetic. If nothing else, just assigning him to Group E is enough for him to be very interested in causing trouble in the Star Alliance Military Academy. What's more, under the murmurs of Mr. Zhou Yu, Jiang Wei and Wen Zhong are now gradually moving closer to Qi Xiaoyu and have become his loyal henchmen. The term "dogleg" is a bit vulgar. A better word should be called an offensive and defensive alliance. In the Star Alliance Military Academy, in addition to the Star Alliance people, there are also exchange students from other allied countries. In addition to not embarrassing the big man, they must at least unite internally. After all, the Han people are famous for their internal strife. On this point, the four people reached a consensus.
On this day, Qi Xiaoyu did not have to go to class. He took a course on "Natural Enemies". He was curious about what the people from the Star Alliance would learn from taking such a course. When he actually sat in the classroom, he was immediately impressed by the professor's outstanding eloquence.
People who can teach at the Star Alliance Military Academy are rarely mediocre, but surprisingly, there are very few people taking this class, so few that Qi Xiaoyu can't believe it. There were only a dozen or so people in a public class classroom.
The teacher on the stage seemed to have been used to this situation for a long time, but he didn't care and still stood on the three-foot podium and talked.
"Everything has natural enemies. If they lose their natural enemies, species will become overrun. Only in nature, those that have lost their natural enemies due to changes in their living environment include: Kule crayfish and Yu Fei hairy crabs, and all of these species are found in the local area. It caused considerable damage. It even caused the extinction of native species"
At this time, a student raised his hand. The academic style in the Star Alliance Military Academy classroom is quite open. Allow students to express their opinions freely. So the professor asked the student to get up and speak.
"Teacher, I hope that if the Han people go there, these problems will not exist, because they are very knowledgeable about food." After saying this, he glanced at Qi Xiaoyu provocatively. His words made the class burst into laughter.
Qi Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows. He couldn't be angry at this level of provocation, not to mention what the student said was right. The Han people are quite famous for their research on food. Crayfish, hairy crabs, and crabs are a delicacy in the hands of a Han chef, but these bastard Star Alliance people don't know this and think it is a mockery of the Han people. Little did they know that this was the best compliment to the Han people. Do you eat hamburgers, chicken legs, and roast beef half-cooked every day like you do? That's what savages do.
¡°You never tire of eating,¡± that¡¯s what our ancestors said, and it¡¯s true even now that I think about it.
Seeing that Qi Xiaoyu was indifferent, the Star Alliance student curled his lips in boredom. He thought it would irritate Qi Xiaoyu, but Qi Xiaoyu smiled at him instead. The smile was as sarcastic as it was almost. He made himself angry.
The professor also smiled and said: "You are right, maybe the Han people will have better solutions. They are not only good at food, but also have very keen observation and research on the development of things For example, more than 3,000 years ago. They had a precedent of controlling water without dams, turning the disaster-ridden swamp into a land of abundance."
Qi Xiaoyu did not expect that there was a professor in the Star Alliance who knew so much about the history of the Han Dynasty. I couldn't help but feel a little more interested. The water conservancy project without dams that he mentioned is still benefiting the land and water of Han Dynasty. It is also the oldest water conservancy project in the world.
"Changing the topic back, nearly ten species are becoming extinct on our continent every day. The reason for this is that we humans continue to multiply on this continent, compressing the living space of other species So what am I doing? This raises the question ¨C what are our natural enemies as humans?¡±
"Is it another human being? Is it a monster that exists in legend? Or a god?" The professor paused deliberately and glanced at all the students present.
At this time, no one raised their hands to express their opinions. Qi Xiaoyu himself was thoughtful. Humanity¡¯s natural enemy, what is that? From ancient times to the present, in the face of plagues, wars, earthquakes, floods, landslides, and tsunamis, human beings have been able to rebuild their homes in the face of and after every disaster. They have never been knocked down by the difficulties in front of them and survived. Then recreate the glory of the past, and then push human civilization to a new height. History repeats itself and spirals forward. There are stagnations, but overall there is development and progress. Then every progress is actually accompanied by the disappearance and destruction of other species.
The professor opened a picture and showed it to everyone in the class using a holographic projection.
"This is the lost continent. Not long ago, a city was just discovered that sank under the sea."
"Grandi"??! "Some students exclaimed. Grandia is a lost continent that exists in the myths and legends of the Star Alliance and some democratic countries. According to the history recorded by their predecessors, some of the knowledge they have learned is Grandia. It was taught by the survivors of Asia. And Grandia disappeared in the long history for some unknown reasons and became an unsolved mystery of mankind.
"I don't know if this is Grandia, but look carefully at this picture" The professor pointed to one of the pictures, which showed a group of buildings made of stone. The stones were extremely round, but they looked quite unnatural. The stone seemed to have been roasted by fire.
"What did you think of when you saw this picture?" the professor asked.
The students all shook their heads in confusion. Only Qi Xiaoyu had a hint of surprise on his face.
"Then if you look at this picture, you may find something new" The professor opened a picture, which was obviously taken now. It was left over after weapons testing. There is also a group of buildings above, and the unnatural appearance of the buildings is almost exactly the same as the photo just now.
Everyone was shocked, how could this be possible? That was the lost continent Grandia, a continent that had disappeared for three to four thousand years, and these weapons experiments had only gradually developed in recent decades.
"Perhaps you may ask, is this just a coincidence?" The professor saw everyone's confusion, and I wanted to say: I don't know. Let us make a bold guess. Humans mastered all the technologies we have now three or four thousand years ago. If this conjecture is true. So what are you thinking about? "
"How could they be exterminated?" one student couldn't help shouting.
"Good question." The professor nodded.
"This raises our question. Why were they exterminated? Why did they suddenly disappear when technology was as advanced as ours, and how could the continent thought to be Grandia be silent? Where did most of them go?"
"So we will think about it vicariously, what are their natural enemies, or our natural enemies? Human beings have limits and rationality, and will not destroy themselves. But how do we explain these scenes?"
"Since ancient times, human beings have always been in awe of heaven and earth. Note that I use the word awe. Awe means that the source and existence of life depend on heaven and earth. While heaven and earth give human life, they are also accompanied by disasters. So heaven and earth They are both parents and natural enemies of human beings. When humans gradually master some technologies and can change the world, humans no longer have awe of the world of natural enemies. The world is revered because of its mystery, and becomes ordinary because of its ordinaryness. However, we I still don¡¯t understand this world, the sky and the universe above my head, and the core lava beneath the earth. Who among you can truly understand their laws?¡±
"Teacher, you mean that the natural enemies of mankind are heaven and earth?"
"I mean, the natural enemy of human beings is everything unknown. The continent we are on is just a drop in the ocean in this universe. Where do we humans come from? Where are we going? There is never a clear answer. The big man has a The religion is called Taoism. They believe that Tao is the truth of the universe and cannot be explained. The extinction of the Grandia people, I think, is that Tao destroyed them"
"The Tao destroys people?"
"For example, if an experiment fails, how will you deal with the expired experimental products?"
¡°Throw it away or destroy it.¡±
"Then for Tao, Grandia is an experiment. And it failed."
"This answer is very mysterious." The answer is more than mysterious, it is simply a theological category. What does it mean to destroy people? Qi Xiaoyu finally understood why there were so few people attending this class. At the end of the lecture, what the professor said was that human beings' natural enemies are aliens. And the people on earth are the experimental subjects of aliens!
Where is this Nima professor, is it the god stick?
But Qi Xiaoyu knew what a leader was like, and he had no way to refute the professor's words. If the leader does not guide mankind, then isn't it just a matter of raising his hand to destroy mankind? Is this a way of destroying people?
After the professor made his conclusion, the students in the class were full of depression. "This is a lunatic!"
"I think what you said makes sense." Qi Xiaoyu did not agree with others, but said to the professor.
"Thanks."
"Oh my God, is this guy from Han Dynasty crazy?" The students are all normal people, so they all view the professor's words based on their own experience.
But the few words Qi Xiaoyu said silenced them. "Thousands of years ago, they said that humans can fly. Hasn't it come true now? A hundred years ago, they said that we will fly.??Universe. Have we not entered the universe now? Even if someone proposed some utopia fifty or ten years ago, with the development of the times, won't things become real? We humans are like fish swimming in a river, thinking that the river is just the river. But there are always a few fish that jump out of the river and can see where the river is going. When the fish went to tell their friends, the other fish thought the fish were aliens because they couldn't see where the water was going. People who are ahead of their time are often geniuses, but they are also lonely. Because they have no companions. "
"It is undeniable that you are right, but I still cannot agree with the professor's statement that human beings' natural enemies are aliens or something like that. I am a soldier, I live in the present, and what I can do is protect my home and country." A student stood up and said.
The professor nodded: "It's understandable. What I said is probably inappropriate."
After the class ended, Qi Xiaoyu did not leave immediately, but started chatting with the professor.
"My name is Qi Xiaoyu."
"I know you. I am very curious to find a close friend among the Han people."
"I think the school can keep you to give lectures because you are a close friend in the school." Qi Xiaoyu said.
"No, they kept me just because they knew what I said was the truth." The professor shook his head. "I'm sorry I can't tell you too much, but I can tell you that the teachers in this school all know that in the basement of the school, there is the largest secret research base of the Star Alliance, just because there are two people there."
"Two people?"
"Adam and Eve."
Qi Xiaoyu felt a chill on his back.
"My name is Logan, nice to meet you, Qi." Professor Logan said.
