Chapter 001: Xuanyuan South Star
In the early morning, the glow of the sun hangs like a veil over the lush greenery.
This is a vast primeval forest with infinite vitality in the direction of the equator of the Iron Hoof Star, but a thick smoke is rising from the sky.
If you look at it from the air, you will see that a trench several kilometers long has been dragged out of the woods.
"Crackling" sounded softly, electric sparks splattered, and several small puddles nearby surged with the slightest arc, and a figure in the mud was stimulated by the current and moved slightly.
"Ugh! My head hurts, where am I? Xuanyuan Nanxing propped up his body and looked around in pain.
I saw scorch marks everywhere, a few big trees not far away broke their waists, all kinds of metal fragments were scattered on the ground, and there were even half corpses, which made people shudder.
It was only then that I remembered that something had happened when the ship had crashed into the atmosphere, and there was a loud roar, and everything in the cabin was thrown aside, and then consciousness was gradually replaced by coldness, until it was completely unconscious.
"It seems that I escaped by luck, damn the War Academy, I have to go to Ironhoof for graduation assessment." Regulus tried to call the instructor while checking whether he was injured, but his movements stopped abruptly.
There are some miscellaneous things in my head, and complex memories come flooding back, and the feeling is getting clearer and clearer. He was sometimes caught in the smoke of war, sometimes drunk in a lowly bar, sometimes wielding a laser sword and slashing, and finally died at the hands of the Berna.
This is an extremely pale life, my father lost power in the family, suffered from hostile forces, and his graduation grades were not very good, with the outbreak of a larger war, the burden of the family was heavier day by day, and he could only be employed by the Federation to fight on various planets, there was no warmth, no love, there was no tomorrow today, and he was even very happy when he died, thinking that it was a great relief, and the memory showed that it was himself, fifteen years later, he had gone through his life at the age of twenty-nine.
"No, no, that's definitely not me." Xuanyuan Nanxing hugged his head and wept bitterly, but in his mind, the superfluous memory seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
"Come on, there's one more survivor here. Damn, I died so much before the assessment, and Lao Tzu's year-end bonus is gone. A gruff voice rang in my ears, and I felt my body lifted, and then staggered forward until I lost consciousness again.
When the noise regained consciousness, Regulus Nanxing's face was pale, with a few bandages on his body, and the chief examiner Wilson was standing on the wreckage of the ship's hull not far away and shouted: "Little ghosts who have never seen the world, as you can see in front of you, the academy troop carrier has been hung up, but the assessment continues." Fuck, slackers, get up, run twenty kilometers, and go to the Quenjian River to find exam questions. ”
"Ahh Is there humanity that still needs to be assessed? The blonde boy next to him was crying, and his voice sounded a little familiar, and Xuanyuan Nanxing turned his face away, and his eyes lit up.
"Jimmy, thankfully, you're still alive."
"Hehe, Nanxing, good brother, if I die, who will help you fight."
The two of them helped each other to stand up, the examiner Wilson has always been stern, he said to run twenty kilometers to find the exam questions, then you must act immediately, if there is a little hesitation, wait for the whip!
The Federal War College does not raise a bad breed, no matter what your family background is, the instructors will practice fiercely.
Humanity is at war with the three major races, and it has not been decided for decades, and it is not known how long it will last. All citizens of the Confederation were required to serve in the military after the age of seven, except in the privileges of a very small number of nobles.
The Xuanyuan family is not small, but Xuanyuan Nanxing is not a descendant, and the exemption from military service has nothing to do with him, and it has been seven years since he entered the War Academy when he was seven years old.
"Run, watch your breathing, run." The instructor shouted at the students, Nanxing and Jimmy took the marching backpack, glanced at the positioning watch, confirmed the location of the Quenjian River, and the two set off with the flow of people.
Normally, the maximum capacity of a troop carrier is 2,300 people, but that is for adults, and the students are only 14 years old.
After modification, the academy troop carrier can carry 3,200 teenagers. The spaceship crashed, and it seems that many students have been killed before they have been assessed, and I wonder if anyone is silent for the victims.
In the interstellar era, human life is not valuable, and under the birth policy of the Federation, even if it has been at war with the three major races for many years, the population base still maintains a trend of increasing year by year. Regulus was just one of the countless fourteen-year-olds at the Blue Star War Academy, and right now he was taking heavy steps, following Jimmy closely, trying not to fall behind.
Why use the horseshoe star to assess the students, because the gravitational environment here is significantly stronger than that of other planets, and at the beginning it is not very good, but once you exercise continuously for more than half an hour, the fatigue will be highlighted.
"Whew, swoop, swoop." Jimmy was in good health, but he couldn't bear it after running for half an hour, and he felt that his marching backpack was getting heavier and heavier, and he looked back at Nanxing, but he didn't expect this kid to be able to keep up, and he seemed to still have the strength to spare.
"Nan, Nanxing, good boy, there is growth."
"Well, it's okay, are you hurt, it looks like you're out of par."
"Stinky boy, if you start panting when you are fat, will the master be out of standard? Don't you see all those idiots around you holding on? Fast, the first person is able to pick the task, speak very tired, communicate with gestures. Jimmy tightened his backpack and rushed forward as fast as he could.
Xuanyuan Nanxing was slightly stunned, paying attention to the state of the classmates around him, and indeed as Jimmy said, they were holding on.
Suddenly, there was a panic in my heart, could it be that nightmarish memory was real? Although his physical fitness has not improved, his own breathing style has become extremely strange, three short and one long.
This type of breathing seems to have been a trick I learned from an old mercenary a few years later, mainly using three ordinary breaths to accumulate the strength of the lungs in order to achieve a long breath. At first, it was very uncomfortable to do it, but fortunately it persevered, and it finally turned into instinct after ten years, and it was confirmed that it could indeed save a lot of physical strength during the march.
"Are memories real? That memory is also a shipwreck, and then I found the exam question and asked to hunt five sonic lizards within the allotted time. It's a very sad hunting mission, the completion rate is only 34%, one is killed, one is seriously injured, and the other three have not had time to find it, and the graduation assessment has ended, in short, the results are terrible. ”
"Unwilling! Is it really like in memory, muddy, broken jars? After graduation, there is an important choice, if my father does not lose power, he will definitely be able to show a clear path for himself, which is indeed the original idea. Suddenly something happened to you, so you were disheartened? It turns out that he is so uncompetitive, no wonder others. As Nanxing ran forward, he had the energy to think.
Twenty kilometers is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and the students have all received physical strengthening, even if the forest is full of obstacles, even if the gravity of the Iron Hoof Star exceeds the standard, they can almost reach their destination in an hour.
In fact, Jimmy and Nanxing arrived a little faster than the others, and there were sparsely floating glass bottles on the river, each containing the test questions for this test, and in order to get them, they had to swim into the river to get them.
The river is so cold that you can feel a chill coming from a distance, which is strange in an almost rainforest-like environment, presumably because of the abundance of heavy water at the bottom of the river.
The students were tired enough, but time was tight, so they couldn't care so much.
Jimmy beat his chest hard and learned the gorilla to scream a few times, then took a deep breath and mustered up his courage, ran a few steps and jumped into the quenching sword river with a "poof".
As long as you have that ability, you can catch a few bottles if you want to, and then choose from them to choose easier questions, provided that you can withstand the cold of the river and resist the nitrogen monster fish in the river. In addition, each student only has one chance to enter the water.
"Ah, cold, cold, cold." Jimmy's teeth chattered, his neck stiffened.
Xuanyuan Nanxing was stunned, this quenching sword river can be described as impressive, fourteen-year-old he certainly did not experience this river, twenty-nine-year-old but he never forget, twenty kilometers of cross-country finally arrived, finally grabbed a glass bottle, back to the shore was already scarred.
"Has fate changed? Arriving at the Quenching Sword River so much earlier, which means that it is not a bad thing to obtain the memories of fifteen years later, it is actually the greatest gift from the heavens, giving me the opportunity to start again. Nanxing couldn't help but clench his fists, a little excited in his heart.
You must know that fifteen years later, you can get mixed up to the fifth level of elite soldiers, and now you are not even a miscellaneous soldier, that is a lot of combat experience, maybe you can say goodbye to your rookie career and become a real warrior.
With a "poof", Nanxing jumped into the river and paddled vigorously with both hands. The river was indeed cold, and it was cold to the bone, but fortunately it was still within the tolerance range, at least much better than the Condensation Star Arctic Ice Cave.
In my memory, I almost froze to death when I went to Condensation Star to carry out a mission. If you really freeze to death, then you will not hang up at the age of twenty-nine, and the time will be four to five years earlier.
"Oh, it seems that no matter how bad life is, it is a fortune, and no matter where you are in fifteen years, it will always be better than now. The most important thing to hone in the youth is perseverance and patience, even the condensation ice cave can grit your teeth and survive, there is no reason to be afraid of the quenching sword river. ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
Swimming very fast, forming a line of water behind him, he easily grabbed a glass bottle, but when he tried to pick up another glass bottle, a large splash of water rushed in, and a strange "click, click" sound was heard in his ears.
"It's unlucky, it's a nitrous monster fish, there must be their nest nearby." Xuanyuan Nanxing shook his head and swam wildly to the shore, being entangled by so many strange fish, and even if he didn't die, he would pick up a layer of skin, so it was better to make less trouble.
Wet and wet walked up to the riverbank, took off the bottle cap and took out the exam questions, after reading it, Nanxing couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Fate always has a similarity, exactly the same as the exam question in memory, still hunting five sonic lizards.
