The metal door of the main hall opened automatically with a swish. When the black-haired major general stepped into the main hall, the entire main hall was instantly silent.
Except for the soldiers who were in charge of the battleship, everyone stopped what they were doing and talking, stood up and faced the direction of Major General Troll, solemnly raised his right fist and put it across his chest as a military salute.
After the young major general raised his head slightly to signal, everyone put down their fists and continued with their tasks.
The blue-haired lieutenant colonel greeted his boss, his eyes passed over his boss, and fell on the short boy behind him.
He shook his head nonchalantly.
Mutt obediently followed Major General Troll, who had already put on a new military uniform.
Silver stripes on a black background, the style of the regular military uniform of the empire, only the part on the shoulder that should belong to the collar badge is empty, representing his identity as a minor as a military cadet.
The imperial military uniform is a masterpiece carefully designed by the top designers of the empire. The lines are simple, clean and neat, which can perfectly bring out the spirit of the soldiers.
As soon as the military uniform is put on, it will immediately reveal a bit of sharpness.
Via looked at Mutt, who still gave off a childlike look even though he was wearing a military uniform, and shook her head indistinctly.
No matter how you look at it, this boy is not suitable to be a soldier.
The child's eyes are too clean and soft, like delicate flowers that have been carefully cared for in a greenhouse, completely unsuitable for being on the battlefield.
Therefore, when his superior, the major general, handed over the child to him and asked him to train the boy as a soldier as possible, this young man who could stand still in the face of enemies several times his own Lieutenant Colonel Fa felt a tinge of distress in a rare way.
Hmm... Although it is said to be an apprentice staff member, it is just an excuse to let him join the army. A person without any military knowledge or any military course training, even a genius who is one in a million, cannot be a staff member. responsibilities.
especially…
"You, illiterate?"
The voice of Lieutenant Colonel Via was squeezed out almost word for word.
He had just arranged for Mutt to record the dialogue for a meeting that was not very important, but the boy stared blankly at the light curtain, and did not move his hand to type on the virtual keyboard for a long while.
When he asked, he realized that the other party couldn't even write words, let alone use the optical keys to type.
"That... grandfather... I only had time to learn to read and speak again during that month."
Mut lowered his head, secretly looked at Via out of the corner of his eyes, and whispered.
He is not illiterate.
When he was in school, he was very good, and he skipped grades in succession. If it wasn't for the sudden illness, he would have entered university.
In addition to the Alliance language of the Earth Alliance, he also speaks the languages of two continents.
…
Well, Muttfuer, he couldn't deny that he was semi-literate as far as the Common Language of the Empire was concerned.
In one month, he only had time to learn to read and speak the common language from the old man, but he hadn't learned to write it yet.
And the input of this virtual light key... The characters input are very different from the keyboard on the earth, they are completely different, he can't use it at all!
"...Understood, test first, and according to the skills you are good at, I will arrange training for you in related skills."
Via let out a breath and said calmly.
...
First, there's the combat squad for Battleship Engagement.
The instructor who was in charge of training those thick and sturdy fighters grabbed the boy's small arms and legs, compared his own arm which was twice as thick as the opponent's, and then looked up at Via.
"Your Excellency, are you joking?"
Via: "... yes."
Next, the artillery department.
That is, the soldiers on the battleship are responsible for manipulating various artillery fires and shooting down the attack ships approaching the battleship.
The instructors of this department don’t dislike Mute’s small arms and legs. After all, it’s not uncommon for soldiers in this department to be a little thin. the most important.
However, in the most basic laser gun shooting, after the teenager hit the eighth ring with one shot—
Instructor: "Lieutenant Colonel Via, I think this kid's talent is also powerful in another sense."
Via: "..."
Well, Mutt hit the eighth ring on the target next to him.
Then there is the driving department, which is the department of soldiers responsible for driving the battleship.
Sitting in the simulated cockpit of the training, the boy fell down due to severe dizziness and nausea after driving the small battleship for two consecutive time-space jumps in a state of weightlessness.
... ... ...
…………………
In short, after one lap, it will be completely wiped out.
In the end, only Robin's Annihilation Fleet remained.
Lieutenant Colonel Via didn't even bother to look for the careless man who could only think with his lower body.
Although he didn't get along very well with Major Robin, he also admitted that the man was tough.
The so-called Annihilation Fleet is a team that can only be entered by elite soldiers with super high posture battleship skills, keen anticipation ability, extreme reaction ability, excellent shelling ability and other excellent abilities that exceed ordinary soldiers by a large margin.
In other words, all soldiers who can enter this team are S aces.
And Robin's ability to properly suppress that group of tough elite thorns is enough to show his ability.
Anyway, Via's complexion is starting to look a little ugly now.
Generally speaking, people always have advantages, and there are always things they are good at, right
Now this kid is incompetent in literature and martial arts, and can't see any advantages. He is simply a waste of waste.
The Wulier family is a legendary noble family with an extremely ancient history. Although it has declined, the heirs will not be so useless, right
Even if it is amnesia that leads to the loss of knowledge learned before, but the body and reflection ability will not change after amnesia, this child obviously has no training at all - in the current empire, even ordinary civilians can Send your own children to do martial arts or spiritual training.
The young man who had been identified as a good-for-nothing among the good-for-nothings sat shyly, occasionally sneaking a look at the dark-faced Via.
To be honest, he himself felt quite ashamed. After this lap, he was doing whatever he could.
According to one of the instructors, he was far from even the most basic physical foundation to become a soldier, so he had to start with the most basic exercises.
To be honest, he was really not good at those things, and exercising his body was indeed necessary, but those things like shooting and fighting that he had no talent for, no matter how hard he tried, it was still difficult to do.
If he wants to adapt to this future world as soon as possible, he must first choose the skill direction that suits him best.
So, what exactly is he suitable for
Mutt thought about it carefully.
He was still thinking about it when someone came to talk to Lieutenant Colonel Via.
It was a middle-aged woman who seemed to be a low-ranking officer. She held a metal instrument in her hand that looked like a glass ball. An old book was floating in the glass ball. It looked like It looks like it has been carefully preserved.
He glanced at it casually, and when he saw the title of the book, he was a little taken aback.
"... the Atlantic Ocean?"
The book was so broken that I could barely make out these three characters.
He instinctively pronounced the words.
But when he thought about it, the middle-aged female officer holding the glass metal instrument, and Lieutenant Colonel Via who was talking were taken aback for a moment.
The middle-aged woman looked at him in surprise.
"You know these words?"
"Of course I do."
Are you really treating him as illiterate
Although he can't write the common language, he can recognize and speak it perfectly... Wait!
What seems wrong
Just now he subconsciously read it out. Looking at the words that were so familiar that they were almost equivalent to instinct, he didn't think there was anything wrong when he read it out. But now that he realized it, he suddenly realized that the words on that book were not empires. The common language, but the Alliance language on Earth!
Worse!
This idea flashed through the boy's mind for an instant.
Judging by the reactions of Lieutenant Colonel Via and the female officer, I am afraid that few people can understand the language of the Earth Alliance now—just like how few people on the earth can understand the ancient Egyptian and Babylonian languages. Can only understand a few words.
"Have you ever learned the ancient language of Earth?"
Old sayings of the earth...
This title is really a mouthful.
While Mutt complained in his stomach, his mind was spinning rapidly.
He remembered that the last time he had an image of Earth in his mind, everyone blamed it on his family heritage.
"know a bit… "
He says.
"At that time, when grandpa taught me the language again, he taught two kinds at the same time. I don't know if this is the ancient earth language you speak... But grandpa taught me this language even more strictly, saying that I should keep it in mind Live, and also showed me a lot of documentaries and messages in this language... "
Considering that he may inadvertently reveal his familiarity with many messages on the earth in the future, Mute now attributes the reason to his 'grandfather' showing him many recorded messages.
When the middle-aged woman opposite him heard what he said, her eyes lit up suddenly, and the stone face of the lieutenant colonel with blue hair was also moved instantly.
"Where are the documentaries and information materials you watched! Is it in your hands?! Is it an information chip!"
The female officer grabbed Mutt's shoulder with eyes shining, and shouted at him excitedly.
"… Can not remember!"
Mutter quickly shook his head in denial.
Where did he find some earth documentaries for these people to watch.
"Grandpa showed it to me. I don't know where he put it, and I don't know if he has those things with him."
The faces of the two who were staring at the black-haired boy showed disappointment at the same time, especially Via's expression of disappointment was deeper.
Because he took care of the affairs of the old man of the Uriel family after his death, he naturally knew that the old man didn't carry any information chip.
... Such a precious thing must have been hidden by the old man.
And this young child doesn't understand anything, is ignorant, and doesn't know the preciousness of those messages at all, so he shouldn't lie to them about such things.
... No, I can't be sure, I still need to monitor and observe the child for a while.
Via originally wondered if the old man was hiding on his grandson, but then remembered that Mutt had a full body check before boarding the ship, and if he was carrying an information chip, he would have been found out at that time.
… what a pity.
Exhaling deeply, Via looked at the young child with a somewhat complicated expression.
Although this child is completely unqualified as a soldier... I am afraid that he will not be qualified when he grows up like this.
However, as far as the child has the knowledge in his head now, as long as the word is released, no matter which force in the empire will grab it and give him extremely high treatment.
You must know that all major forces value scholars who are engaged in research on ancient earth civilizations, especially the more information they have, the more they are respected.
Can't show it.
Lieutenant Colonel Via winked at the female subordinate beside him calmly, telling her to let go of Mutt.
He couldn't let this child know how important information he had. He didn't want to see this little guy sneer at all.
The most important thing for him to do now is to let this little guy stay obediently.
While thinking this way, he looked at Mutt.
The young man looked at him with his eyes open, his jet-black pupils were crystal clear, and the surrounding light fell in and looked bright.
A young and childish face, no matter how you look at it, how innocent it is.
Still looks pretty deceiving.
Thinking of the series of stupid things this little guy did, Via thought so, and opened her mouth.
"Since you don't know anything and only know a few words, you can go to the History Research Department to help."
"Okay~"
The boy blinked, then answered with a bright smile on his face.
Stone face, don't think you're just pretending, I can't see how much you value these old earth sayings... Very good, he found a way to support himself after he lost his golden thighs.
Earth ancient language expert.
Look, how tall, how safe, and what a high-profile cultural career!
Mutt was thinking about it in his heart, and Via was still teaching him over there.
"You have been acting very rude in front of His Majesty the Major General. Because he is very young and magnanimous, he doesn't care about you. However, when you go to the History Research Department, you are all older seniors."
He looked at Mut sternly and said.
"You must never be so rude again, do you understand?"
"Oh."
The boy nodded with an obedient expression on his face.
...
……………
On the way being taken to the History Research Department by a female officer, Mutt, who had pondered for a long time along the way, finally couldn't help his curiosity.
"How old is the Major General?"
This kind of thing should not be considered a military secret, right
The boy thought.
All day long, I hear people say that that person is young and promising. How young is he
And looking at that face, it is indeed quite young, it looks like... twenty years old
... But why is it a little unscientific to be a major general in your twenties? No matter how outstanding and talented he is, he must be at least thirty years old before he can serve as a high-ranking officer, right
And at the beginning, he also said to him, 'You are still young'.
To be able to say this means that the major general should be much older than him, and it is impossible to be only a few years older.
Hmm... That's right, serving as a major general in his early thirties can be regarded as young and promising.
So in fact, the major general just looks young, right
The basic information of all officers above the general level in the empire is open and transparent information in the star network, so the age of the major general is indeed not considered a military secret.
Moreover, it is one of the reasons to make his subordinates proud.
Therefore, the female officer answered the question of the young man behind him with a straightforward smile.
"Your Excellency, Major General, is very young, only fifty-six years old."
"… … What?!"
Fifty-six years old... that's all? !
The bewildered young man felt that he was frightened.
Not old goblin? !
The author has something to say: Let's put it this way, Mutt is now equivalent to the only person in our modern world who can understand ancient Egyptian writing.
And not all of us are interested in ancient Egypt these days.
In the future interstellar world, the earth is the vision and dream of all human beings.
