Chapter 8

The opening ceremony that Zhan Lu had put on the agenda for Principal Lu had not yet begun, but he himself ran into a little trouble first.

　The opening ceremony is scheduled in the morning, preceded by a faculty meeting.

　Under the newly established Xinghai College, there are a total of three professional colleges, namely mecha mechanical design, mecha operation, and information science. The teaching materials are all written by the principal... and cobbled together.

　According to President Lu's great vision, the future Xinghai College should be the ultimate palace of human wisdom, equipped with cutting-edge laboratories and synesthetic libraries. Its own publishing house is the most authoritative in the universe. Its research institutes are spread across the eight galaxies, bringing together the knowledge of all mankind. The elites are equivalent to and echo the civil and military forces of Wulan Academy on the distant planet Voto. Countless names that shine brightly in human history will leave their mark on Xinghai Academy.

　Lu Bixing has no talent, he just dares to think.

　After a long journey, Principal Lu firmly believes that these three small majors are the first small step in his great career.

　However, in the bright morning light when school was about to start, the three "small steps" deans were all gloomy and showed the cold reality to the principal.

　The dean of the Mecha Operations Department has a bad temper. He didn't wait for the principal to finish speaking about his bright prospects for the new semester, but he jumped in and said, "Principal Lu, I can't teach anymore. The failure rate in our department last semester was 9%. Ten, this is the result of multiplying the scores of all subjects in the final exam by taking the root sign and multiplying by ten. What do you think we should do?"

　The dean of mecha mechanical design added expressionlessly: "The failure rate of our college is 100%."

　​​Lu Bixing After hearing this appalling figure, he said tolerantly: "The design major has relatively high requirements for basic knowledge. It doesn't matter. The worst we can do is extend the academic system. You see, shouldn't it be too strict in the first year? I'll give you a few points more. "They just pass."

　"I can't mention it," the design dean said with a look of sadness on his face. "If calculated according to the hundred-point system, then only one student in our college has an average score of double digits."

　Lu Bixing: "... "

　I won't talk about it because we don't have any data." The dean of information science is an old man with a slender face and gray hair. He speaks slowly, "Principal, I don't know how you advertise for admissions. There are so many application books." Major students all thought that we were teaching how to find out gossip. I explained to them that our college was not a spy department, nor was it called a secret service department. But the result was - forty-nine people came in for reports and fifty dropped out. In other words, I only have freshmen now, not sophomores."

　Lu Bixing went over what the old dean said: "...Why are there more dropouts than reported?"

　The old dean said, "There is one. Halfway through the student reporting procedures, he discovered that there was a group of gangsters in the school who were his enemies. He was afraid of being beaten and jumped directly to the expulsion process. "

　The teacher of the school is an academic who was dug out from the corners of the eighth galaxy by Lu Bi. The eight galaxies are all endangered species.

　When the scholars came, they all thought that they would be taught by the world's most talented people, and from then on they embarked on the road to pursue knowledge and truth. Unexpectedly, after arriving, all he did was the work of a zookeeper, which was really degrading to his gentleness.

　The three deans sat together and accused the principal of this big deception with six eyes.

　Lu Bixing was unmoved: "This should be due to the unreasonable teaching materials and course syllabus. I used to teach a few students privately. It was the first year of formal schooling and I had no experience. If I encounter this kind of situation next time, everyone can help me in time." When it comes to teaching meetings, we can make corrections at any time."

　"Principal Lu," said the director of mecha operations, "do you know how much an elementary degree certificate costs?"

　The education system in the Eighth Galaxy is different from other places. It is relatively simple and only divided into " There are two grades of "Elementary" and "Advanced". Elementary is basic teaching. You can study step by step for fifteen years in a public school. You can also be self-taught and then go to a government-designated place to take a certificate. After obtaining an elementary education certificate, you can participate in vocational education. training, choose to find a job, or choose to continue research and enter higher education.

　Of course, higher education is not something you can just choose. In the entire eighth galaxy, there are a total of 18 planets with residents. There are only 11 institutions of higher learning, six of which have closed down, leaving only bare school sites and two or three security guards. To prevent vagrants and criminals from using schools as dens.

　Most people probably have no idea what college looks like.

　Going to school and studying is useless—this is common sense in the eighth galaxy.

　Under such circumstances, in the first year that Xinghai College opened, more than a hundred students signed up. In the second year, it received more than 300 application materials. There is even such a thing as an "admission rate". It is really A great miracle of the eighth galaxy. The miracle was not born because Principal Lu was exceptionally handsome, but because according to legend, the backstage of Xinghai College was the fourth brother.

　After all, this is an era when universities want to embrace gangsters.

　"Thirty yuan for a fake certificate, guaranteed quality and authenticity, plus an additional 108, you can customize a full set of application materials, and the application is guaranteed - Do you want to see the fourth brother? Do you want to enter a black hole? Only 138, you will suffer a loss if you can't buy it You can't be fooled," said the dean of information science. "Yes, it was done by the group of people who dropped out of our college."

　Lu Bixing: "..."

　The dean of design was born with a very sad eyebrow, and now the eyebrows are drooping. , became more and more distressed: "Principal Lu, the students you recruited are basically here to watch that gentleman. Forget about being gangsters, they are still illiterate gangsters. Although we are dedicated to gardening, we have to plant an entire garden. It's too much to be a living rat."

　Lu Bixing quickly calculated his prostitution fee in his mind, smiled and began to pretend: "You can't say that, every great road is initially full of thorns, and every sage has been beaten. As the foolish old man who can move mountains, the old proverb goes, "Only the road to hell is paved with flowers of goodwill." Isn't adversity the only way to reach your dreams? "

　The three deans are like three eggplants beaten by frost, working together. He lowered his head. The principal's mouthful of sour chicken soup was really hard to swallow.

　Lu Bixing: "I know how hard you are working, so I decided to increase the salary of all faculty and staff this year. No one will get a 20% increase."

　The eggplants quietly sprouted new shoots and gained a little vitality.

　Lu Bixing played two roles by himself, singing the red face and the bad face. When he said this, his face turned cold again: "According to incomplete statistics, the dropout rate of primary schools in the eighth galaxy is as high as 90%. , the vast majority of people in the application materials have not completed primary education, and the certificates are fake. I know this, but dropouts are not always voluntary. How do you know that there are not students here who are trying their best to seize the glimmer of hope? Colleagues, do you know that in other galaxies in the same world, not far away from us, primary education is no longer needed? "

　"Garden of Eden..." I don't know who answered.

　"The Garden of Eden," Lu Bixing stood up and talked eloquently with his hands behind his back, "Children in the Garden of Eden will have basic knowledge directly instilled into their memory through the spiritual network before they are ten years old. They call this 'painless learning'. Lying down Sleeping in a nutrition warehouse for a month is like enlightenment, and you can master knowledge naturally. Can you imagine that they don't have to recite and forget over and over again like us? . You dislike the poor foundation of students. From this perspective, every one of us here has a poor foundation. We were lost at the starting line when we were born, but so what? We can revise the teaching materials step by step, slowly. Teach slowly and let students learn slowly. Are you worthy of your once troubled and confused self if you give up on others?"

　There was no sound in the conference room. I don't know whether it was because of Principal Lu's concern for the country and the people, or because of the salary increase. .

　Lu Bixing looked around and felt that he had convinced people with his reason, so he maintained his tone of concern for the country and the people, ended the meeting, and prepared for the opening ceremony. He found a place where no one was around, and quickly observed his appearance at the corner glass - broad shoulders and narrow waist, strict formal attire, neatly combed back hair, a forehead that could participate in the interstellar forehead beauty pageant, and a decent appearance He has good facial features and is really a handsome and handsome man.

　Then, the handsome man tried to smile in front of the glass for a while, and tried the half-smiling method of "not showing teeth and raising the corners of the mouth", the standard smile method of "eight teeth", and the middle method of "showing only the corners of the mouth". A reserved smile.

　Each of the three smiles has its own merits, but they are all perfect. Lu Meinan suffers from a phobia of choice. After some rigorous comparisons, although he really wanted to show off his bright white teeth, he felt that it would be more appropriate to be more reserved. As a principal, I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose option three.

　When everything was ready, he showed the most casual attitude, turned around the teaching building and walked towards the auditorium.

　Stepping on the threshold of the auditorium, Lu Bixing put one hand in his trouser pocket and nodded to everyone who greeted him, but he was distracted, thinking: "Will he come or not?"

　In this beautiful planet where bumpkins are everywhere, On the topic, Lu Bixing was probably the only one with the discernment to know that Zhanlu was not human, because the average IQ of the local artificial intelligence was probably less than 80, and it was indeed difficult to regard Zhanlu and them as the same species.

　Lu Bixing also knew that Lin was not from the Eight Galaxy, and he was certainly not an extraterrestrial interstellar pirate. Lu Bixing had followed the One-Eyed Eagle since he was a child and had seen many interstellar pirates. Like fierce, Lin is not like them.

　Talking about the "Garden of Eden" the day before, Zhan Lu tried to correct some of his imagination about the first galaxy twice, but was interrupted by Lin. Lu Bixing was actually just pretending not to notice. The reason why he and Lin became friends was because of this Know what to turn a blind eye to.

　Lu Bixing met Lin when he was running away from home. At that time, he happened to be near Beijing's beta star. Before he could decide whether to land or not, he ran into a drifting bottle... no, an ecological cabin.

　It had no markings at the time and was spinning quietly outside the lifeless artificial atmosphere of Beijing's Beta Star. It was as exquisite as an extraterrestrial visitor from another dimension. Its minimalist outer shell design was enough to turn any scientific researcher into a stalker. Lu Bixing was crying. , followed the ecological capsule of unknown origin and circled the Beijing β star three times. Although he knew that fishing for unknown objects in the universe was an unpopular way to commit suicide, he still couldn't help but commit suicide.

　The entire fishing process lasted nearly three hours. After catching it, Lu Bixing discovered that the ecological cabin was equipped with a strict encryption system. Once it was forcibly broken through by an external force, it would immediately trigger a nuclear self-destruction and destroy everyone.

　This exquisite ecological capsule may contain a big secret, or it may be a deadly virus. In either case, it is a dangerous item. According to the way normal people think, this thing should be put away immediately where it came from. Stay away from it.

　But Master Lu is obviously not a normal person.

　As a scientist with weak hands, Master Lu was not curious about what was in the ecological cabin, nor did he want to see it. However, he fell in love with the provocative encryption system on the ecological cabin at first sight, and immediately forgot about his poems and the distance, and became very interested. He battled wits and courage with the encryption system. It took him more than two months to defeat the "Sphinx" in a dangerous way.

　When Lu Bixing was happy, he took two bottles of whiskey and wrote a eloquent interstellar voyage diary, recording his feats. After finishing the diary, he drank too much, stumbled and accidentally opened the ecological cabin door, and Pandora's The box opened with a bang, and Lu Bixing's drunkenness almost evaporated along with his gallbladder.

　He rubbed his eyes, rubbed his eyes again, and sat on the ground for five minutes to make sure that he was not hallucinating -

　there was a person in the ecological cabin...alive.

　Lu Bixing quickly took a handful of hangover pills and went to check the person in the ecological cabin. He found that the person's vital signs had dropped to the lowest level. There was a decorative robot hand on his arm. It should be some kind of artificial intelligence. It had insufficient energy and could not be started. .

　Low vital signs can save lives in extreme environments, but over time it will cause irreversible damage. Lu Bixing didn't know how long this "sleeping beauty" had been hibernating. He was afraid that he would just sleep to death, so he turned out all his medical equipment. . However, the medicine used by this "extraterrestrial visitor" to lower his vital signs was not a common type, and the medical equipment could not identify it at all. Lu Bixing was not a doctor, so he did not dare to use inappropriate awakening agents without authorization. He could only give him nutritional solutions every day and try. Use micro current to wake up.

　On the third day, "Sleeping Beauty"'s eyelids moved slightly. Lu Bixing tried to talk to him, but there was no response.

　Lu Bixing had nothing to do, so he took a dozen books and started reading in "Sleeping Beauty"'s ears, starting from "Advanced Mecha Design Theory" to "Earth History", and finally read an article about dozens of goblins fighting. Three vulgar pornographic articles - this time, his audience finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened their eyes.

　Lu Bixing was thinking about a more intense place. The climate in the mecha cabin of space travel was dry. As soon as Lin opened his eyes, he saw two lines of nosebleeds flowing down.

　Lin's awakening agent was in Zhanlu, but Zhanlu was not full of energy at the time and could not be activated. Without an awakening agent, it would be very painful for people who were accidentally awakened by Lu Bixing in advance. At first, they were like mummies, with only their eyes moving. It would take several months of soaking in nutrient solution to gradually restore the ability to move their limbs. Only then did Master Lu know He got into trouble, so he had to work hard as a male nurse.

　In the empty and dark universe, he spent more than three months with Lin Zhaoxi, who was "generally paralyzed," and formed an indescribable... friendship.
