Orlando slowly turned off the screen and fell into deep thought.
It is undeniable that the emergence of humans has brought unprecedented impact to the Silver Moon Kingdom. Even in his opinion, this impact was far more severe than the invasion of Tara barbarians three years ago!
After all, the Tara barbarians only brought war, and although humans did not bring war, they brought a "wind" that the Kerong people did not dare to think about in the past. Now this wind has become more and more intense after human warships continue to sail to the Dibi galaxy, eventually triggering discussions and thinking among the entire ethnic group.
As a wise man, Orlando believes that this kind of thinking is right and beneficial to the continuation of civilization.
But equally, as a wise man, Orlando is also deeply worried about this kind of thinking - they, the big men who are high up in the temple, know very well how terrible the enemy mankind is facing, and they also know that their ancestors have done something What huge sacrifices it took to allow civilization to continue.
Similarly, they also know that today's Silver Moon Kingdom has lost the ability to launch interstellar wars - whether against humans or executors.
Therefore, Her Majesty the Queen will make a difficult decision to provide convenience to humans without disturbing the executors as much as possible.
But... ordinary people in Kerong don't know this.
They only know that their ancestors were once destroyed by a civilization called the Enforcer, and that today's humans are resisting this civilization - Orlando believes that this news must have been released by humans.
Or it was released by Azshara.
However, this is not important.
What's important is that more and more Kerong people are inspired by human courage and are no longer gentle and content with the status quo, but are beginning to seek change.
Orlando understands this mentality.
For thousands of years, Silver Moon Kingdom has been the most brilliant civilization in this star field - even powerful enforcers have never disturbed the peace of Silver Moon Kingdom. On the contrary, the Kerong people have witnessed the demise of too many civilizations - therefore, their people have natural pride and indifference, and even the invasion of the Tara barbarians has never made their people feel threatened.
The Tara barbarians are, after all, a backward civilization and barbarians.
But the emergence of humans is different.
The emergence of humans directly broke the pride of the people and made the Kerong people realize that such a powerful civilization had actually been born in a distant galaxy!
Among the goods brought by human merchant ships, there are a variety of technological products and artistic objects that are jaw-dropping and eye-opening. The various gifts reflect the achievements of human beings in the fields of literature, music, dance, painting, sculpture, etc. Unparalleled attainments.
This means that humans are really not a race that can only make war weapons.
In a sense, their level of "civilization" has surpassed that of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Such a civilization... is enough for the Kerong people to lower their noble heads and reflect on why human beings have achieved such outstanding achievements.
In the silence, Orlando slowly tilted his head. He saw that Her Royal Highness was holding a pen and writing on the blank paper. She was still whispering something in her mouth.
The test paper in front of her was still blank.
Seeing this scene, Orlando frowned slightly and coughed slightly: "Your Highness, why don't you write it on the manuscript paper?"
"Ah..." Egwene was silently calculating the question given by Orlando using a mathematical method called "calculus" from humans. After hearing this, she immediately subconsciously covered the manuscript paper, but immediately moved it away - this kind of Naturally, Orlando cannot know human calculation methods.
Egwene's behavior made Orlando frown again.
"Your Highness, you are not good at mental arithmetic, are you?" Orlando stood up, walked behind the girl, and looked at the blank manuscript paper. He was startled for a moment and then doubts appeared in his eyes: "Is the pen out of ink?"
"No... I just... think about it." Ai Wen bit her lip and defended: "Teacher, the questions you asked are too difficult."
"Is it difficult?" Orlando raised his eyebrows slightly: "But you have done even harder things before."
Egwene immediately stopped talking.
What was she going to say? Do you want her to say that she first calculated the previous questions using the method Ye Ming taught her, and then converted the answers into the Kerong mathematics format?
She thought she could complete her homework seamlessly, but she didn't expect...Orlando would actually sit next to her today and stare at her as she worked on the questions.
This... what should she do?
She didn’t even dare to write a draft!
When Orlando saw that Egwene was silent, he exhaled slowly and his tone became serious: "Your Highness, if you can't give me a logical answer, I will report to Your Majesty like this."
"Teacher...this question..."
"Your Highness, you should know this question, unless your previous answers were all done by others." Orlando's face darkened, and his tone became more severe: "Who is it? Director Isilita, or Anji?"
"No!" Ai Wen's face turned red instantly and she said loudly: "I did it, I didn't let anyone do it for me!"
"Then why can't you write now?"
"Because..." Egwene closed her eyes and breathed heavily. After a moment, her heart pounded. She turned to look at Orlando, clenched her fist hard and said, "I used human mathematics to solve it!"
Orlando was stunned.
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced, and then looked at Egwene again, his eyes gradually becoming more severe than ever before.
"Really?"
"real!"
"I do not believe."
"I'll explain it to you right away!"
Ewen took a deep breath and immediately started writing on the manuscript paper.
As human mathematical symbols flowed on the manuscript paper one after another, the severity in Orlando's eyes gradually disappeared, and then turned into surprise.
And when Ai Wen finally found the solution and converted the answer into Kerong characters and symbols and wrote it on the test paper, the surprise in his eyes turned into a deep gaze.
As a wise man in the kingdom, he naturally knows that humans have a complete set of mathematical theories - otherwise, how could humans build warships? Similarly, he also knew that humans had long proposed academic and technological exchanges between the two civilizations.
However, due to various reasons, this exchange did not take place.
But this does not prevent Orlando from understanding human mathematical symbols in various human information and products - this is already the level of the wise man who is most familiar with human technology in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom.
So...how did His Highness master it?
"Who taught you?" Orlando asked softly, staring at Egwene.
Egwene closed her mouth tightly and looked back at Orlando but did not answer, just breathing heavily.
Orlando glanced around, and his eyes fell on the human communicator placed at the bottom of the bookshelf. After a moment of silence, he continued softly: "Your Highness, although you are very smart, it is absolutely impossible to learn from human communication." This level of knowledge is held in the communicator - human communicators do not have the function of providing lectures."
"have!"
"No." Orlando shook his head: "I also have a human communicator, and your highness, you must understand that I know human communicators better than you do - I have dismantled them."
Ai Wen immediately stopped talking.
"If you don't answer, I will report it to Your Majesty immediately."
With that, Orlando turned and walked towards the door.
Panic flashed in Egwene's eyes, and she stood up. Just when Orlando was about to open the door, she finally closed her eyes hard and said a name with great difficulty.
"Ye Ming taught me."
Orlando froze, turned back to stare at her, and said one word at a time: "This is the chief scientist of mankind."
"So?" Egwene opened her eyes and stared at Orlando's back with a bit of anger.
"So, I will wait three minutes before reporting to Your Majesty." Orlando opened the door and strode out.
Ai Wen was startled, her whole body collapsed instantly, and she shouted at her back: "Teacher, you are a big liar!"
Orlando didn't look back.
…
After closing the door, Ewen quickly walked to the bookshelf. She picked up the communicator, and then hurried back and forth in the study, trying to find a place to hide the communicator. But after just a moment, she gave up the idea and sat down on the chair dejectedly.
"what to do……"
"It's over...I'll definitely get a beating."
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …” The girl was frightened when she thought of her amiable mother holding a ruler. When she was a child, she was playful, so she threatened Rita in the office to complete her homework for her, but Rita betrayed her as soon as her back was turned. ...Then her mother beat her hard with a ruler and told her that even if she reaches the age of twenty, passes the adult ceremony and becomes a real princess, as long as she dares to cheat in her studies, she will still be beaten. !
Holding the communicator tightly, her mind was in a mess, but she knew that her mother would definitely take the communicator away next...
In that case, those nice music, beautiful human girls, fun human games, nice human dramas...
And... Teacher Ye Ming and Teacher Aita will never be seen again.
Even those human "netizens" who don't know her identity will disappear completely.
——Teacher Ye Ming once told her that as long as she learned human language, she would be able to enter human social networks, make friends and play games with humans hundreds of billions of light years away.
As soon as she thought of this, the girl could no longer hold back her tears and fell down in big drops.
"What should I do?" Ai Wen looked at the door. She was calculating the time for her mother to arrive, feeling confused.
After a while, Ai Wen stared at the screen, wiped away her tears, then entered the system skillfully, clicked on the contact list, and selected Ye Ming's name.
The beeping started.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Egwene had never felt that time was so long.
Finally, after the dial rang ten times, Ye Ming's voice rang.
"Egwene."
Listening to Ye Ming's gentle voice in the communicator, Ai Wen couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.
"Teacher, maybe I won't be able to see you..."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Ming's voice in the communicator was extremely surprised: "Don't cry, don't cry, speak slowly."
"Orlando betrayed me, and he complained to his mother."
While sobbing, Ai Wen told Ye Ming what happened just now.
There was a long silence in the communicator.
Ewen hugged the communicator tightly and kept looking at the door.
"Teacher, mother will definitely take away the communicator."
As soon as she finished speaking, the study door opened.
Queen Galadriel, who showed no sign of joy or anger, appeared at the door.
…
The moon, the Taiyue combat center.
In Ye Ming's office, besides him, there was also Peng Xiaofei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
At this time, two old friends sleeping in the next bunk looked at each other.
Especially Peng Xiaofei, who had a weird suppressed smile on his face - similar to the look of someone holding in a fart while reading a joke.
This Kerongren princess can’t play with her mobile phone, right?
Just when Ye Ming was thinking about how to comfort and solve the problem, Ai Wen's timid voice suddenly came from the communicator.
"Mother……"
After a moment, Queen Galadriel's voice sounded: "Egwene, when did you start contacting humans?"
The communicator fell into silence.
Ye Ming stared at the monitor closely. When he saw that the communication was still continuing but there was no sound, he finally raised his eyebrows and pulled the microphone to his side.
"Hello, Your Majesty, it's me."
As if with a slight surprise, the queen's voice then sounded: "Hello, Your Excellency Ye Ming, I am surprised to hear your voice here."
"It's not surprising." Ye Ming breathed out softly: "It was just a chance. Her Royal Highness found my communication number through AI and contacted me."
Obviously, Ye Ming's words were not enough to convince the Queen. Her voice was light and came closer from a distance: "Can the chief scientist of mankind be contacted by anyone at any time?"
"No. But the communicator given to the royal family does have higher authority." Ye Ming also replied lightly: "And, I don't think it is a mistake for Her Highness Ai Wen, as a student, to ask me for knowledge. .”
The Queen's heavy breathing was clearly heard from the speakers throughout the house.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Ming's mouth, and he continued: "Moreover, being the chief scientist is just an unimportant identity of mine. My most important identity and profession is that of a teacher. As a teacher, I must uphold the principles of preaching, accepting karma, and solving my karma." The vocation of confusion.”
"Of course, unless His Majesty feels that I am not qualified to be her teacher."
After speaking, Ye Ming put down the microphone and waited quietly for a response.
Peng Xiaofei, who was opposite him, slowly raised his hands and gave him two thumbs up.
After several breaths, the Queen exhaled slowly, with a hint of sullenness: "Of course, Your Excellency can be her teacher."
"So, please don't punish my students." Ye Ming said softly: "This is related to the dignity of teachers and cannot be blasphemed."
After a while, the queen seemed to agree with Ye Ming's statement, and her voice returned to its usual tone - at least Ye Ming could no longer hear the sullenness she had felt before.
"So, Mr. Chief Scientist, do you think you can complete Egwene's education in this way?"
Ye Ming's pupils shrank slightly, but he immediately answered after a moment: "No."
"so……"
"Therefore, I hereby make a formal request to His Majesty, allowing His Highness Egwene to become the first batch of students in the United College of this Super Galaxy Group. At the same time, as a representative of the Karatu Galaxy, come to the college of the Blue Star Galaxy to study and further study. To promote exchanges among multiple civilizations.”
"She is an excellent student who is qualified to understand human civilization and knowledge."
As soon as he finished speaking, the communicator fell into silence.
