The grades of Dawn Blade are divided into four levels: entry, elementary, middle, and high. Only after completing advanced courses and obtaining qualified credits will they be awarded a diploma. A Dawn Blade graduation certificate, let alone an important qualification assessment certificate within the family, even if it is placed in the federation, it is equivalent to a golden key. Many important institutions of the Federation can open this certificate. Of course, not many students graduate from Dawnblade every year.
For more people, all they get is a certificate of completion.
Dawn's Blade does not mandate the time for students to study, that is to say, in theory, you can go from 18 to 80 years old, as long as you can afford the high annual tuition fees. Many students will always fail to graduate from the college for one reason or another, but just get a certificate of completion. But even if it is a certificate, if you can complete the intermediate courses, it can be reused in the family.
Freshmen like Alan naturally have to take the entry-level courses first. But even for the introductory course, Allen got a long list of courses. In the next three months, he will finish reading a series of brief history of the Federation, basic mathematics, brief introduction to biology, brief introduction to cosmic geography, outline of the source force system, introduction to fighting techniques, basic warfare, and outline of family management. Subject.
Seeing these course lists, Allen really admired Adele from the bottom of his heart. Adele, who had already left the academy the next day, has now completed the intermediate courses and obtained the highest credits in her class. If there is no accident, the young lady of the Mossen family will be able to graduate from Blade of Dawn in another year.
A graduation certificate is enough for Adele to knock on the door of the family elders' church and earn herself a solid position in the elders' church.
On the second day of enrollment, Alan's class also officially started.
The first class he will take this day is a brief introduction to cosmic geography, which will help Allen establish a perfect view of the universe. This class is held in a spacious classroom located in the main building of the teaching department, which can accommodate a hundred people to listen to the lecture at the same time. The seats are spacious and comfortable, but there are crowded tables and chairs on both sides, which are prepared for civilian students at their own expense.
Allen found a seat near the corner and sat down. Looking around, there were not many students sitting in the same area as him. In twos and threes, sit according to each other. At this time, a smear of ink suddenly floated in front of his eyes, and Vera with black hair and black dress sat in front of Allen. Even though it was a theoretical class, Vera still carried her drawing board and charcoal pencils with her. It seemed that these things were always inseparable wherever she went.
The front door of the classroom was pushed open, and a tall and thin doctor walked in. Beneath the gray hair was a thin face. After glancing at the students in the classroom with eyes blocked by thick lenses, the doctor introduced himself: "You can call me Dirk. In the next period of time, you will probably You will often see me. The three courses of cosmic geography, federal history, and basic mathematics will be taught by me. You probably won't like me, because my assessment has always been very strict, but that will be three months later. "
"Now, let's get straight to the point." Professor Dirk lowered his head and glanced at the students from behind the glasses: "Don't underestimate this introductory course. From a proud family, even this planet, is not even a speck of dust in the vast space of the universe. Facing the infinite universe, even the gods have to bow their noble heads. As for you,
It is not an exaggeration to throw the five bodies on the ground. "
"Respect the universe and know how to be in awe, so that you can find your own fulcrum in the universe. Only when you have a fulcrum can you explore and conquer. Otherwise, you are just some poor reptiles. When you look up and see a leaf, you think you are Already conquered the universe!"
Looking at the little faces in the classroom, they are either confused, serious, or laughing. Dr. Dirk murmured in his heart, "There should be some applause at this time, idiots!" Unfortunately, the students didn't buy the doctor's account, so Dr. Dirk could only continue talking: "Before I introduce you to the real universe. , let me tell you an interesting story..."
The doctor paused, expecting the excited expressions of the students, but what he saw was that several boys were already yawning. Dr. Dirk shook his head and said: "This story is about a shooter, a sharpshooter. His marksmanship is very good. He can punch a hole every ten centimeters on a target, and he lives on this target. A two-dimensional intelligent life, for them, the target is the whole world, the whole universe!"
"After observing their own world, their scientists discovered such a law: there must be a hole every ten centimeters in the universe!" Dr. Dirk raised his glasses and said: "What a sad theory, they See a random behavior as the law of their own universe. Look, what a narrow understanding this is, they did not explore the wider universe, but defined everything within their own sight."
"I hope that through this story, you can take a longer view. Use a broader and far-reaching perspective to look at the almost infinite world we live in."
Next, I finally entered the formal theoretical class. Perhaps those noble children have heard of what Dr. Dirk said. But for Allen, everything is new. He is like a sponge, constantly absorbing what the doctor said. After one day, Allen already had a preliminary understanding of the entire universe.
Today's cosmic geography does not actually originate from the Federation, but refers to the knowledge system of Idahua Star. After all, compared to the young planet Earth, the Idahua star, which existed many years ago, is more qualified to regulate the cognition of the universe. Idahua Star takes the Gat star field where it is located as the center point of the universe, and divides this infinite space into nine star fields and 36,000 sectors. To locate and encode all the known planets according to their positions in the sector, and thus, the foundation of the advanced war in the universe is established.
As Dr. Dirk said, the earth is just one of these countless planets, and looking at the entire universe, it is almost as small as a dust.
The afternoon class is basic warfare, but the knowledge taught is related to advanced interplanetary warfare.
"The universe is turbulent and chaotic! Stability and order are only temporary dynamic balance. The essence of the universe is chaotic turbulence, and the essence of civilization is war and aggression! Looking at the history of our own planet, which civilization Wasn't it born in the flames of war? More than four hundred years ago, before the dawn of the war, our planet was like an egg. At that time, we played the role of being colonized. Fortunately, we got the support of Idahua Star, We were able to get rid of this embarrassing role. In the next four hundred years ago, we worked hard to develop the military force, learned the space transmission technology of the Idahua Stars, and established a
The rainbow bridge of domain space. All of this, let us have the capital to participate in the advanced war of the universe, let us transform from colonized people into invaders! "
Professor Randolph, who is in charge of this course, is not tall but very strong. He himself is a retired lieutenant/general of the army, and was hired by Dawn Blade as an instructor in warfare. Randolph waved his huge fist. His short hair stood up, his eyes were wide open, and he roared like a soldier about to go to battle.
"Professor, what is the difference between us and the Nilm people back then? We are also invaders?" A student stood up and asked.
"Of course!" Professor Randolph sneered, "First of all, we don't flaunt how great we are, and the essence of waging war is also for plunder. But please remember that our invasion and plunder are restrained. Even in During this process, we will assist the planets of low-dimensional civilizations to speed up the development, and benefit each other in this process; as for the Nirms, those lunatics and devils from the Jotun Starfield, what they do is not invasion, nor is it Colonization. It's extraction! It's destruction! They don't care about the life and death of the planet at all, and they don't care about any long-term interests. Every time those short-sighted bastards go to a planet, they will only use inferior means to squeeze out the energy and materials of a planet, and finally let The planet becomes a death star. No matter the living things or civilizations will be completely wiped out by them!"
"Finally, this young master. You are able to sit here and listen to the lecture because you have to thank your family and the colonial planet behind your family that provides it with a source of wealth. This is the difference!"
Regarding what Professor Randolph said, Allen is relatively easy to understand. He grew up on the surface and worked with snow wolves, so what he saw was mostly the cruelest side of nature. It is natural for him to prey on the strong, but even as a hunter, the snow wolf rarely drives out its prey. Sometimes Bai Fang would even order the wolves not to hunt juvenile prey, which was equivalent to another form of captivity.
Of course, Outland Wars is a lot more complicated than that. It is related to the collision of two different civilizations, and in the history of more than 400 years. Whether it is the Federation or the major families, the standard process of invasion, colonization, control, and profit in foreign wars has long been formed.
At the end of this class, Randolph looked at the students and said: "War is never holy, let alone just. All there are words like holy and just, but the standpoint and starting point are different. The essence of war It is always ugly, and as you who will eventually set foot on the battlefields of Outer Domain in the future, you should face up to this as soon as possible. But war is not all bad. One thing is worthy of recognition, war is a catalyst for the development of civilization."
"Today's class ends here!"
This day's class made Allen feel restless for a long time. It's like igniting the fire, building a circuit, and bringing Allen into the gate of the world of source power. The lectures of the two instructors today brought Allen into another world. And these lessons, this knowledge are definitely beyond what a surface boy can hear and imagine. At this time, Allen had to lament the wonder of fate.
He lost a lot, and now, he finally has something to gain. And these gains will increase in the foreseeable future.
God is fair, he closes a door, but always opens a window for you. It's just that many times, we only see the door, but not the window.
