Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 79: Essence



Chapter 79: Essence

Blade of Dawn was divided into four grades: beginner, middle, and senior. Only after completing advanced courses and obtaining qualified credits will one be awarded a diploma. A Dawn Blade diploma, not to mention being an important qualification certificate within the family, even if it was placed in the Federation, it was equivalent to a golden key. Many important federal agencies can open this certificate. Of course, not many students graduate from Blade of Dawn every year.

More people, all they got was a certificate of completion.

Dawn Blade does not impose school hours on students, which means that you can theoretically soak up from 18 to 80 years of age as long as you can afford the high annual tuition fees. For one reason or another, many students would not be able to graduate from the academy and would only get a certificate. However, even if he had obtained the certificate, if he could complete the intermediate course, he would be able to reuse it in the clan.

Freshmen like Allen naturally had to go through the entry-level courses first. However, even though it was an introductory course, Alan still got a long list of courses. In the next three months, he would complete a series of subjects, including a brief history of the Federation, basic mathematics, a brief theory of biology, a brief record of cosmic geography, a summary of origin systems, an introduction to fighting techniques, basic warfare, and a summary of family management.

It was only when he saw the list of lessons that Alan truly admired Adele from the bottom of his heart. Adele, who had already left the academy the next day, had now completed her intermediate course and had received the highest number of credits in her class. If nothing unexpected happened, the young miss of the Morsen family would be able to graduate from Dawn Blade in another year.

A diploma was enough for Adele to knock on the door of the family council of elders and earn herself a firm place in the council of elders.

On the second day of school, Ellen's class officially began.

His first lesson of the day was a brief account of cosmic geography, which would help Alan build a perfect view of the universe. The class was held in a spacious classroom located in the main building of the teaching department, which could accommodate up to a hundred students at the same time. The seats were spacious and comfortable, but there were also crowded tables and chairs on both sides, which were prepared for the commoners at their own expense.

Alan found a seat near the corner and looked around. There weren't many students sitting in the same area as him. In twos and threes, they sat down according to each other. Suddenly, a wisp of ink flashed in front of his eyes, and Vera, who had black hair and a black dress, sat in front of Alan. Even though it was a theory class, Vera was still carrying her drawing-board carbon brush, as if they were always there.

The front door of the classroom was pushed open and a tall and thin doctor walked in. Beneath his gray hair was a thin face. After glancing at the students in the classroom with thick glasses covering his eyes, the doctor introduced himself, "You can call me Dirk. In the next few days, you will probably see me often." Cosmic geography, federal history, and basic mathematics will be taught by me. You probably won't like me either, because my exams are always very strict. However, that will be three months from now. "

"Now, let's get straight to the point." Professor Dirk lowered his head and glanced at the students from behind the lenses. "Don't underestimate this introductory course. It will let you know where you are, where your proud family, and even this planet, is not even a speck of dust in the vast universe." In the face of an infinite universe, even the gods have to lower their noble heads. As for you, it's not too much for you to throw yourself to the ground. "

'"Respect the universe and respect it. Only then can you find the fulcrum of your footing in the universe. With fulcrum, you can explore and conquer it. Otherwise, you are just some pitiful reptiles. When you look up and see a leaf, you think you have conquered the universe!"

Looking at the small faces in the classroom, they were either confused, serious, or giggling. Dr. Decker muttered to himself, "There should be some applause now, idiots!" Unfortunately, the students didn't buy the doctor's bill, so Dr. Decker could only continue, "Before I bring you to the real universe, I'll tell you an interesting story "

The doctor paused for a moment, looking forward to the excited expressions on the students' faces, but he saw that a few of them were already yawning. Dr. Decker shook his head and said, "This story is about a gunner, a sharpshooter. His spear skills are amazing. He can make a hole every ten centimeters in a target. There is a two-dimensional intelligent life on this target. To them, a target is the entire world, the entire universe!"

"After observing their own world, their scientists discovered the law that the universe must have a hole every ten centimeters!" Dr Decker raised his glasses and said: 'What a sad theory. They see a casual behavior as the law of their own universe. Look at how narrow it is. They don't explore the wider universe, they define it all in their own line of sight.'

"Hopefully, through this story, you will be able to take a longer view and look at the almost boundless world we live in with a broader and more far-reaching vision."

After that, they finally entered a formal theoretical class. Perhaps the nobles had already heard of what Dr. Decker had said. But for Alan, everything was new. He was like a sponge, constantly absorbing everything the doctor had said. By the end of the day, Allen had a basic understanding of the entire universe.

Today's cosmic geography does not originate from the Federation, but from the knowledge system of Ada Hua. After all, compared to Earth, a young planet that had existed countless years ago, Ada Hua was more qualified to regulate knowledge of the universe. Ada Hua uses its Garter Domain as the center of the universe, dividing this infinite space into nine star domains and 36,000 sectors. Locating and encoding all known planets according to their positions in their sectors laid the foundation for a high-level war in the universe.

As Dr. Decker said, Earth is just one of these countless planets, and it is almost as small as dust across the universe.

The afternoon class is basic warfare, but the knowledge is related to advanced interplanetary warfare.

"The universe is turbulent, chaotic! Stability and order are only temporary dynamic equilibrium. The essence of the universe is chaotic turbulence, while the essence of civilization is war and aggression! Looking at the history of our own planet, which civilization did not emerge from the flames of war? More than 400 years ago, before the Battle of Dawn, our planet was like an egg. At that time, we played the colonized role. Fortunately, we got Adahua Planet's support to get rid of this awkward role. More than 400 years ago, we worked hard to develop our army, learn Adahua Planet's teleportation technology, and build rainbow bridges near the moon that could teleport to foreign space. All of this gives us the capital to participate in the high-level wars of the universe, to transform us from colonizers into invaders! "

Professor Randolph, who is in charge of the course, is not tall, but very sturdy. He himself was a retired general of the army, hired by Dawn Blade as a warfare instructor, and Randolph waved his big fist. Short hair stood up, eyes wide open, roaring like a soldier about to enter the battlefield.

"Professor, what's the difference between us and the Neil people back then? Are we invaders, too?" A student stood up and asked.

"Of course!" Professor Randolph sneered, "First of all, we do not boast about how great we are. The essence of war is also to plunder." But remember, our invasion and plundering are moderate. Even in this process, we will help low-dimensional civilized planets accelerate their development and benefit from each other in this process; As for the Nilms, their lunatics and devils from the Yordon Domain, they did not invade, nor did they colonize. Instead, he squeezed it! It was destruction! They didn't care about the life or death of the planet, nor did they care about any long-term benefits. Those short-sighted bastards would only squeeze out the energy and resources of a planet with inferior methods, and eventually turn the planet into a death star. No matter if it was creatures or civilizations, they would completely wipe them out! "

"Lastly, Young Master, you have to thank your clan and the colonial star that provided the source of wealth for your clan for you to sit here and listen to the lectures. That's the difference!"

Alan understood what Professor Randolph had said. Growing up on the surface of the earth, he had accompanied the Snow Wolf, and he had seen many of the cruelest aspects of nature. The law of the jungle was natural for him, but even as a hunter, snow wolves rarely killed their prey. Sometimes, Bai Fang would even order the pack of wolves not to prey on their prey that were still young, which was equivalent to another form of captivity.

Of course, foreign wars were much more complicated than this. It is related to the collision of two different civilizations, and in more than 400 years of history. The federation, the great clans, had long since formed the standard process of invading, colonizing, controlling, and profiting from foreign wars.

At the end of the class, Randolph looked at the students and said, "War is never sacred, it's never just. All of them will have the words sacred and just, but the standpoint and starting point are different. And the essence of war is always ugly. As you who will eventually step onto the battlefield of the outer realms in the future, you should face up to this point as soon as possible. But war is not all bad. There is one thing that is worth affirming. War is a catalyst for the development of civilization. "

"This is the end of today's lesson!"

This day's lesson made Alan unable to calm down for a long time. It was like lighting a fire seed, building a circuit, bringing Allen into the Origin World. Today's lectures by the two mentors brought Alan into another world. These lessons and knowledge were definitely not something that a boy on the surface could hear or imagine. At this moment, Allen could not help but sigh with admiration at the wonders of fate.

He had lost a lot, and now, he finally had some gains. Moreover, these gains would increase in the foreseeable future.

God is fair. He closes a door and always opens a window for you. But most of the time, we only see the door and don't see the window.
