Chapter 20 Study
Xinzheng's business school is large, but it is extremely strict in recruiting students. The instructors at all levels in the school also have active military ranks and have a detached status in the entire kingdom.
Chu Jungui is in this class, just entering the second year of freshmen, and it will take nearly three years to graduate. This session is full of talents, far surpassing before and after, also known as the session of hope. However, because there are many people who are proud of their talents, they are sometimes ridiculed as thorns. The curriculum setting of participating business schools is deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty, and traces of imitation can be seen everywhere, even in the school introduction.
The undergraduate course here is a four-year school system. The first two years are mainly general courses, covering a series of content from individual combat to warship command. The next two years are professional courses, which will be decided according to the students' personal wishes and the results of the first two years. study major. As a star country that guards the frontier, the School of Business also has its own specialization, which is intra-planetary combat. In addition to combat courses, participating business schools also include many Chinese traditional civilization content as compulsory content, including history, literature, philosophy and religion. Modern economics, politics and law courses are also very popular among students. After all, not everyone likes to fight, and the positions in the rear can also be high and powerful.
In addition, the prosperous Tang Dynasty has always respected Confucian generals, and the generals of the army must also read a lot of books in order to be able to convince the public. There are more than 20,000 students in the second year of the academy, and only the best 100 of them are eligible to participate in the assessment of the survival battle on the unmanned planet. After all, the cost of dispatching a transport ship to transport the students to the unmanned planet is not a small amount. The remaining ordinary students in the school who have not been selected can only fight for survival in the examination base of the academy. After hundreds of years, the map of the test base has long been known to everyone. Everyone knows where there is a house, where there is a gun, and which tree is easy to hide behind. Knowing everything, sometimes it's not fun. For example, several locations with pre-buried equipment are often the areas with the largest number of airdroppers. Many rookies have just landed and have not understood what happened, and their equipment has been harvested.
The call for to change the map is heard every year. But for the sake of saving money, the map of the test base survival battle is unstoppable every year, at most minor repairs, throwing a few broken cars in, even if it has been upgraded. Participating in business schools is not poor. The tuition here is several times higher than that of ordinary schools, and the tuition alone is full of money. Not to mention that there are so many subsidiary industries. Every year, orders from the military alone are relentless.
It is one thing to have money, but it is another thing to be willing to spend money on students. In the eyes of participating business schools, the first-phase students are like leeks, and there will be another crop after cutting. Since leeks can grow with water, why fertilize them?
Chu Jungui tapped a few more times on the screen, and as a second-year student, all the courses he was entitled to study appeared, there were thousands of them. There are more than 100 ways to use various individual weapons alone. Chu Jungui first looked at the catalogue. The major categories and sub-category levels of each course were clearly displayed in the catalogue. In today's era, human beings are no longer the frail race on their home planet. After more than a thousand years of progress in technology, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, human beings have gradually formed three different directions in individual strengthening.
One is to strengthen the basic functions of the human body through genetic modification, and to achieve the purpose of strengthening by loading micro-devices and various auxiliary power organs on the basis of basic functions.
The most common manifestation of this is chip implantation. In this era, most people with conditions will implant chips for information storage, auxiliary computing, and communication and data transmission purposes. As long as they are citizens of the Kingdom, even the poorest, the Kingdom will implant their ID chips for free. Of course, the chip implanted in this way has only the most basic functions, and it is better than nothing. Its main purpose is identification. In this day and age, ID chips are like passports and ID cards of the old days
Everyone has an identity chip, but not everyone can afford a functional chip. The price of a chip can be hundreds of times the cost. Not to mention the limited editions with special features, the mid-range version of the chip that only the real middle class can afford. Therefore, it is generally believed that only functional chips are called chips.
Piracy and counterfeit chips are not impossible, but they are meaningless. These chips are similar to an access interface that can regularly receive the latest version of the software from the service provider for upgrades. Naturally, pirated chips cannot be upgraded, and chips that cannot be upgraded are like defective products, and can only be used to deceive uninformed people.
As an official student of the Business School, an important benefit is that you can buy three intermediate chips or one high-level chip at half price. If you really have no money, for example, Chu Jungui, you can also apply for college loans and repay them in installments after graduation.
The second strengthening path is external equipment. The simple version is the exoskeleton, and the more complicated one is the individual combat mecha, and the more complicated one is the ground-effect combat vehicle or floating combat platform that requires multiple people to operate.
On this path, evolution is never-ending. More powerful individual weapons, more effective defense, smaller and lighter engines, and more durable and efficient energy supply, in every direction, are worth countless people's lifetime efforts.
The last way, and the most controversial, is to use various biochemical tissues or artificial organs, or even organs from other species, to replace the original organs of the human body. In the end, it is difficult to say whether people who have undergone deep transformation can still be called people.
In fact, this road has many supporters since ancient times. In the era of the mother planet, people were not the fastest runners and the highest jumpers. The reason why humans dominated the mother planet was only because of an abnormally developed brain. Since primitive times, there have been fantasies of having the power of an elephant, the agility of a liger, and so on. Entering the era of civilization, all kinds of superheroes, ghosts, gods and Buddhas all have some shadows of fantasy in this regard.
The three major forces currently dominated by human beings have their own emphasis on the evolutionary path.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty has always admired the unity of man and nature, emphasizing the strengthening of human beings. The British Commonwealth has the tradition of the Great Industrial Revolution in the old era, and it advocates the advancement of hardware technology, so it is a leader in the field of exoskeletons and auxiliary combat armor. As for the Pan-Star Community, it is a collection of rabble people, and most of them are located in areas with harsh living environments, so human body modification is prevalent, and it is often seen that humans who do not look like humans are rampant everywhere.
It doesn't mean that the three major forces will not get involved in other fields. In fact, they all quietly study the opponent's field. After all, human beings have no foreign enemies, and the biggest enemy is human beings themselves.
Chu Jungui did not rush to choose practical courses, but first looked at the political system of politics. He must first figure out the political structure of his era, at least have a general direction, so as not to be too confused.
The community implements a loose alliance system, and the General Assembly is the highest authority, but its binding force is also very limited. Each affiliated planet has the highest authority over its own affairs, and the community cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the affiliated planets unless it is in a state of war or through resolutions by the Great Council.
The internal structure of the British Federation is more compact. Although each federal star domain has great autonomy, most of them are concentrated in internal affairs, and diplomacy and military affairs are exercised by the federal government. Although the Federation implements a presidential-parliamentary system, after thousands of years of accumulation, various families with a long history have become giants. The Ring of Roses composed of thirteen ancient families is known as the shadow cabinet of the Federation.
The last is the Tang Dynasty. The imperial family is the spiritual symbol and the desired destination of the entire dynasty and traditional culture. In addition, there are also twelve ministers, known as the pillar country, which are divided into various towns. Some of the ministers of each pillar country are important officials of the dynasty, while others are the monarchs of powerful vassal kingdoms.
After having a general understanding of the basic structure of human beings, Chu Jungui took a quick look at the current political events. There seems to be peace at the moment, but the actual war is everywhere. The prosperous Tang Dynasty and the Federation were peaceful on the surface, rubbing against each other in secret, and they had already fought several battles quietly. Although it is impossible to announce the results of the battle, judging from the official reaction, there should be winners and losers.
The community acts erratically, always trying to get both sides, and constantly provoking the relationship between the federation and the dynasty. The relationship between the three major forces is intricate and complicated, and it is not clear at all. From any angle, you can write dozens of monographs and support a dozen experts and professors. The star field is extremely vast, and star thieves are rampant everywhere. Some star thieves are indeed compelled to do so. For example, the original star thieves came from the inhabitants of the abandoned marginal planet, for life and revenge. After the formation of the three major forces, it was found that star thieves were the best cover to test each other's strength, so many unsightly activities were carried out in the name of star thieves. This is the reason why star thieves cannot always be eliminated, but instead fight more and more.
After understanding the current situation, Chu Jungui did not delve into it, but turned back to the course on individual combat power. After all, he is a little rookie student, and he hasn't even paid for the next meal on the chip. It's a bit funny to worry about the world now.
He clicked on the course for individual light weapons mastery, and saw that the course was divided into three parts: beginner, intermediate and advanced, but he could not find a familiar version number. Chu Jungui felt a little uneasy when he couldn't see the version number. He opened the elementary course and searched carefully, and finally found the version number in the course introduction entry: 2.05C.
Chu Jungui was in awe, and with a pilgrimage heart, opened this elementary course. After a long time, Chu Jungui raised his head blankly. He searched for an entire hour, tried all encoding schemes, and even tried various algorithms for unlocking high-level passwords, but couldn't find where the data download interface was. Can't load, how can I learn this book?
