back to Earth

"Earth..." Vickery murmured. "I seem to have heard this name before. Is it the home planet of your humans?"

Cheng Zhen smiled wryly, an obscure light flashed in his eyes. "Yes, or was."

The red-haired teacher looked at his expression and knew it from the bottom of his heart.He still knows a thing or two about the history of other interstellar races.As we all know, human beings did not originally live in the star field near this generation.Rumor has it that they migrated from the far end of the universe, a star field that no one has ever visited, in order to avoid a disaster.

And in this migration like a great escape, human beings have long forgotten their origins, just like lost children, human beings are lost in the vast starry sky and lost their home.

Looking at Cheng Zhen's slightly disappointed expression, Vickery frowned.

"Perhaps the loss of your home planet has indeed made you lack important beliefs and reliance. But this is not the only reason for the decline of human beings."

"Teacher Vickery?"

"Even if you lost your past home, you may not be able to create a new home. In my opinion, your biggest problem is not that you have lost your home planet, but that you have lost your heart. You don't know your past, you don't know your goals, Confused about the future. If things go on like this, even if there is no interstellar general council to stop the civil war, the end of mankind will only be a matter of time." Vickery said with a serious face, but his words were heartfelt.

"..." Cheng Zhen was dumbfounded.What can he say?

Today's human beings are really a little strange to him.In the distant past, humans on Earth were almost synonymous with arrogance.They thought they were the rulers of the earth, and spared no effort to usurp the few remaining resources of the planet.For the increasingly scarce energy, the war between countries has never stopped.

Cheng Zhen in the 21st century hated this kind of arrogance of human beings more than once, thinking that sooner or later, human beings will perish in their own pride.

Did you expect this prophecy to come true?

Now this race that is always giving in, retreating, and only seeking a moment of peace, is it really the familiar and proud human being?It's ridiculous, isn't this developed into two extremes?

The human beings in the 21st century, whose arrogance and arrogance finally led to the doomsday, and the current human beings who are too cowardly also lead to the catastrophe of destruction.

But for Cheng Zhen, no matter which side it is, it is his race, his compatriots.In this way, human beings are allowed to go extinct again?

Not reconciled, absolutely not reconciled!

Seeing the flame of refusal to admit defeat ignited in the boy's eyes again, Vickery raised his lips and smiled.

"Cheng Zhen, but in my opinion, you are different." Facing the young man's questioning gaze, he said. "In you, I see the vitality and vitality that cannot be concealed. You are a person who is not willing to lose, and you are not willing to lose. This is your difference."

Only people like him who want to become stronger with a firm belief and want to protect something are qualified to become the strongest in the interstellar world.Vickery buried this sentence in his heart and didn't say it to Cheng Zhen.He didn't want this seedling that hadn't grown up to wither in the meaningless praise.

The more potential you have, the more you need to hone.

Cheng Zhen was thinking about Vickery's words carefully, thinking about the difference in what he said.How is he different from other humans?He is not willing to admit defeat, but hundreds of years, the huge gap has long wiped out the fighting spirit of most human beings.

Only Cheng Zhen was different. The deepest memory in his heart was the blue planet.And the arrogant but high-spirited human beings living on that planet.

Compared with other intelligent races, we are not inferior, why should we willingly admit defeat? !

If the origin of all this can be solved.

"Teacher, I have benefited a lot from your reminder." Something flashed in his dark eyes, Cheng Zhen raised his head and greeted Vickery with a smile. "We do lack some things, but we can still find ways to make up for it."

"Make up, you mean..."

"A race without a home planet is incomplete. If human beings want to catch up with other intelligent races, what we need is our home star—the Earth." Cheng Zhen said.

"However, isn't this planet already..." Vickery wanted to say something in surprise.

"We lost it." Cheng Zhen interrupted his surprise and smiled. "But like all mothers, even if the child occasionally forgets the way home, the mother will still stay there and wait. I think the same is true for the earth. It stands quietly somewhere in the starry sky, waiting for us to go back and find it. "

"I'll find it."

Looking at Cheng Zhen who spoke such wild words, Vickery unexpectedly felt a little bit of belief in his heart.

"Do you know how far this universe is, and no race can conquer it."

Cheng Zhen said. "I don't want to conquer the universe, I just want to find a way home for mankind."

Standing silently in place for a long time, Vickery sneered as he looked at this young man who was talking big but had a serious face. "Before you realize that lofty ambition, you'd better become a qualified mech pilot first."

"Yes, Mr. Vickery."

"No actual operation today." Abandoning his original plan, Vickery walked to the other side. "Do other things first, I want to test your mental strength."

He wanted to know whether Cheng Zhen, who spoke wildly without changing his face, had the ability to match it.

Vickery sank the two mechas into the floor again, and led Cheng Zhen out of the training hall.

He originally planned to train Cheng Zhen in the normal way, so he started training with the most basic Lawa-level mecha.But Cheng Zhen's words in the training hall gently touched his heart.

If the teenager really has that much ambition, maybe normal training isn't for him.In order to find out Cheng Zhen's limit, Vickery took him to the testing center in the academy.

Every freshman will come here for a full-body examination after one month of enrollment, so that the college can make the final division decision based on each individual's ability.

The current department is not final. Within a month, freshmen can gradually become familiar with the academy and slow down their spirits.Then, physical testing would be the real start.If a mecha student finds out during the test that his physical fitness is not qualified to be a mecha pilot, he will be forcibly transferred to another department.

Therefore, the real start of school is actually a month after the official department division, and now it is just a buffer.

But Vickery couldn't wait that long. He only had a week to teach Cheng Zhen. At this time, the red-haired mech warrior couldn't wait to know the qualifications of his disciple.

Will it be a surprise, or a disappointment?

Cheng Zhen followed Vickery's footsteps and stepped into the huge building that looked like Frankenstein's laboratory.He didn't know why the red-haired teacher had a faint look of excitement on his face.But he had a vague premonition in his heart, maybe coming here would be a very important turning point for him.

Using his privileges to order the people in the laboratory to take Cheng Zhen to take the test ahead of time, Vickery looked at the boy in the white coat.

Whether it is a victory or a loss, it will be announced tomorrow after the results come out.

For a mech pilot, qualification is very important.It may be cruel, but no matter how hard-working and lack of qualifications, one cannot become an excellent mech pilot.

Vickery stared thoughtfully.

Let me see, is the bet on you worth it or not?Cheng Zhen.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and at the gate of the teaching area of ​​the Department of Information, a young man was circling around anxiously.

"Will you stop coming?" Beside him, another person stood with his fists folded and asked indifferently.

"Impossible, impossible! Cheng Zhen has always kept his promise. As long as he promises, he will not break the contract. And I listen to him, and I am also very interested in you. Why don't you come for no reason?" Misaqi couldn't bear it Look frequently. "Could something be delayed?"

Cassia remained silent, although he looked very indifferent, in fact, his heart was already in a mess with tension.

Cheng Zhen, Cheng Zhen.This name has been deeply rooted in Cassia's heart since the day of the opening ceremony, and it has taken root in his heart together with the speech from the chief human being.He believes that not only himself, but all human students will be like this.

Facing this name, they really have too many feelings.Envy, respect, or jealousy and suspicion, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, and it is impossible to distinguish at all.

"Have you heard?" Two students who passed by were chatting.

"I heard from people in the mecha department that the kid who spoke so much at the opening ceremony was kicked out of the classroom today!"

"Isn't it, on the first day? He's also a chief after all." Some people didn't believe it.

"It's the chief, but you also have to see which race's chief it is." The person who said this seemed to see Cassia standing aside, and lowered his voice slightly. "It's just that a human being is so arrogant, I've long seen him unhappy."

"I heard that he was kicked out for 'teaching' because he was the only one in the mecha department who hadn't practiced it. It's really a great face."

"This is special treatment. After all, he is also a race chief."

The few people who spoke laughed and walked away unscrupulously.

Cassia stared at the direction in which those people left, biting his lips to bleed.

Those sarcastic words were like a sharp knife stabbing him hard, cutting mercilessly.Although he was not the one being discussed, it was more unbearable than ever being despised by others.

Why?Cassia never admitted that he had been moved by Cheng Zhen's words.

The young man who said that he would not be the last human leader was laughed at by others.This feeling of giving a glimmer of hope but being severely shattered gnawed at his heart.

"How could this be?" Misaqi also looked worried.

He also knew that Cheng Zhen had never had practical operating experience, but the performance of Cheng Zhen driving the magic wheel car made Misaqi full of confidence in him.Misaqi believed that even if he was less experienced than others, Cheng Zhen would not lose to anyone!

Unexpectedly, on the first day, I was kicked out of the classroom for this reason.

"That bastard Cheng Zhen! Is it because of this that he avoids seeing me?" Mi Saqi thought in his heart that Cheng Zhen was frustrated and did not want to show weakness in front of him.This turned his worries into anger, and the anger Cheng really didn't trust.

"Hide? Why should I avoid you?"

A clear voice came, causing the two to look back.

I saw the young man with black hair and black eyes walking towards the two with quick and vigorous steps.

In those eyes, there was no frustration and frustration as expected, but bright colors flashed as always.No, it should be said that it is more determined and eye-catching than before.
