On the way to Maple Leaf City, among the Shrek team flying under the leadership of Yan Shaozhe, Ling Luochen looked around at the scenery passing by quickly, but inadvertently glanced at Xiao Xiao beside him, covering his mouth with his hands, and there seemed to be faint circles under his eyes. redness.
"Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Can't bear to leave the academy?"
Ling Luochen moved slightly closer to Xiao Xiao, used his soul power to prop up a barrier to resist the wind pressure, allowing the two to communicate with each other conveniently, and asked in a low voice.
"Sister Luochen, I'm still not as strong as I thought. At this time, I still can't help but think about him..."
Xiao Xiao's hands were trembling slightly, showing that her heart was by no means calm at this time.
Of course Ling Luochen knew which bastard Xiao Xiao was referring to by "him", so he could only comfort him softly: "Time will dilute everything... You will continue to have new friends and a new life in the future, don't be tied up by one person." Too tight, too deep into a person, and you won’t be able to break free or get out.”
Xiao Xiao took a breath and then said with a trembling voice:
"Why is it like this...For the first time, I have someone I like, and someone I can be a lifelong friend with. Two happy things overlapped. And these two joys brought me more happiness. . But, why, it becomes like this..."
Tianhun Empire, Maple Leaf City.
Located in the Maple Leaf Square in the center of the city, it happens to be the season when maple leaves are falling all over the ground. The entire square is covered with red and yellow fallen leaves, which is very suitable for the scene.
The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Shrek Academy arrived one after another. Students wearing the uniforms of the two colleges stood in two rows facing each other in the center of the square. Their postures were upright, as if they were unwilling to lose to each other in such details. , which attracted many passing residents in Maple Leaf City, a small city, to stop and watch.
"Haha, Dean Yan, I have admired you for a long time."
"Anyway, I have been a close friend of Dean Hongchen for a long time."
Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen, two old foxes, held each other's hands and started talking as soon as they met, saying false greetings that they didn't believe a word of.
Xiao Hongchen looked calmly at Beibei on the other side. After noticing Xiao Hongchen's gaze, Beibei's eyes moved slightly. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then involuntarily looked away from each other.
"This is the person Grandpa said was my equal in Shrek Academy... I didn't pay much attention to it during the competition before, but now when I look at it face to face, I feel it's just average. It's no different from before." Xiao Hongchen thought to himself. .
Beibei, on the other hand, was recalling Hongchen's brother and sister's terrifying performance of "reaching the five-ring soul king before the age of fifteen", and Xuanzu's reminder to him before leaving was still in his ears.
"Beibei, this time you go to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to study. You may find that the soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire are not inferior to or even surpass Shrek's soul masters of the same age in terms of cultivation speed, but don't be fooled by this illusion. If you are confused, don’t be anxious about it.”
"The Sun and Moon Empire is different from our original race of the Three Kingdoms of the Douluo Continent because of its heritage and bloodline. In the early stages of cultivation, it is indeed easier to improve, and the digestion of various drugs is better than ours. However, , after reaching a certain level, the cultivation speed of the soul masters in the Sun and Moon Empire will slow down. Especially after breaking through the title Douluo, it is much more difficult to improve than us. This is why over the years, the Sun and Moon Empire has almost no The reason why Super Douluo appeared."
Will it be difficult to improve after breaking through the Titled Douluo... But the members of the Soul Engineer Group, which form the backbone of the Sun Moon Empire's army, generally have no more than the cultivation level of Soul Saints. Beibei doesn't think that the Sun Moon Empire's cultivation at this stage is The soul masters are no better than the soul masters of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
It is also the core seed that carries the hope of the next generation of the academy. Beibei has compared his performance with that of the Hongchen brothers and sisters. He does not think that he will be able to surpass those two in terms of combat effectiveness when he reaches the fifth ring level.
As for Lin Xi... his eyes glanced at Ning Tian, Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen. According to the Hongchen Hall Master, these three people were roughly his equal students and hostages.
"Dean Yan, regarding the exchange and learning principles we discussed before, someone raised some objections to me before departure. I think it is necessary to clarify it in advance."
"Oh? I thought our previous communication was sufficient. I wonder if Master Hongchen has anything else he would like to add temporarily?"
Jing Hongchen said with a smile:
"According to the previous agreement between the two parties, the students of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy will receive intensive intensive knowledge training at Shrek. After reaching the fifth ring, they will directly enter the inner academy to study, while the students of Shrek will go through the soul guidance training of our school. After the basic training on weapons, you will first study at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and then you can enter the Mingde Hall for further study after passing the relevant assessment, right?"
"good!"
Jing Hongchen nodded when he heard this, and turned his gaze to Ling Luochen, who was standing in the group of Shrek students with a cold face.
"But the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy seems to have a requirement that you must complete thirty inspection missions before you can graduate. This kind of inspection activity not only takes up a lot of time, but also seems to have a very high casualty rate. When you were on the playing field, your school When Mr. Wang Yan explained why the Shrek team was so dilapidated, he mentioned that four of the Shrek Seven Devils this time were killed in just one mission."
Ling Luochen still couldn't see any unnecessary expression fluctuations on his face, but he cursed secretly in his heart that this little old man insisted on exposing people's scars.
Jing Hongchen continued to add:
"It is said that this seems to be an important part of Shrek's sense of identity. Only students from the inner academy who have completed thirty inspection missions and successfully graduated can be considered real Shrek students who are expected to enter the Poseidon Pavilion. They are completely different from those who graduated from the outer academy. Two different levels... It is Shrek's freedom to arrange his own students. I will not make any judgment here, but the students in this school come to Shrek to learn, not to work for Shrek. To the Qing Dynasty Douluo Three Kingdoms The evil soul master is not interested either."
"So, as long as the students of our school who enter Shrek's inner academy, I hope that they can learn knowledge and practice safely in Shrek Academy, and do not send them to participate in any supervision tasks."
Yan Shaozhe thought quickly for a moment, then smiled and said:
"I thought Hall Master Hongchen had some concerns, but it turned out to be just that. What the Hall Master said is right. Since they are not real Shrek students, they naturally do not have to bear all the obligations of Shrek students. I can agree to this. But Since both sides must pay attention to reciprocity...should Mingdetang also show some expression?"
Jing Hongchen's proposal didn't even require much consideration for Yan Shaozhe. The other identity of the students exchanged between the two parties was that of hostages in each other's hands. What if Xiao Hongchen was sent by Shrek to perform the task of the inspection team? After losing his life at the hands of the evil soul master, Yan Shaozhe had no doubt that Beibei would be attacked and killed by the evil soul master the next day.
As we all know, the Sun and Moon Empire is the home base of the Holy Spirit Cult, and it is completely normal for some vicious incidents involving evil soul masters to occur.
If some of the students that Shrek likes are willing to stay in Shrek and become real Shrek people, it won't be too late to let them perform the tasks of the Supervision Corps and fulfill their responsibilities... And for the students that Shrek really values, How could it be really rigidly required that they must perform thirty inspection missions in order to graduate?
Although the Shrek Seven Monsters in the original book are much stronger than the evil spirit masters who simply kill a few small fish and shrimps in terms of their deeds, which one of them has actually carried out thirty surveillance missions before graduation? of? Does this affect their graduation?
After receiving Yan Shaozhe's consent, Jing Hongchen also immediately agreed: "Since Dean Yan is reasonable, I can also make the decision. As long as Shrek's students reach the level of fifth-level soul masters, they can enter Mingde Hall for further study unconditionally, and this is true in the Sun and Moon Royal Palace. Soul Engineer Academy is only a necessary condition for advancing to the sixth grade."
"Haha, thank you Hongchen Hall Master for your kindness. In that case, let's see you in three years?"
"See you in three years!"
Under the leadership of the other dean, the students from the two academies launched their flying soul guides one after another and flew in opposite directions.
In Maple Leaf Square, the people who had been watching the excitement dispersed in a hurry. Even if the specific identities of the two groups were not known, it could be seen from the luxurious clothes of the two elders and the exquisite and neat school uniforms of the young people that they were definitely Extraordinary origins.
Along the way, Jing Hongchen and Yan Shaozhe simply explained to the students some basic information about the academy and matters that needed attention. They did not rush to win over the students they were optimistic about. Three years is a long time. Efforts must be made into every detail of daily life.
Outside the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the reception staff who were ready to welcome the exchange team from Shrek Academy set up awnings and held banners that said "Warmly welcome students from Shrek Academy to come to our school to participate in exchange activities." .
Flying was prohibited over Mingdu, so they couldn't determine the team's itinerary by observing the sky. They had no choice but to remain fully armed and ready after estimating that the time was about the same.
Finally, they saw the familiar Dean leading a middle-aged man and a group of boys and girls wearing neat uniforms that were different from the uniforms of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
"Welcome all the students from Shrek Academy to come to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy for exchanges. I hope that in the next three years, you can all learn the knowledge you want, gain a rich life experience in the academy, and make new friends. friend."
Jing Hongchen was very satisfied with the adequate preparations made by the work team. He nodded slightly and addressed the Shrek students in front of the school gate.
"The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has prepared student cards, uniforms, student handbooks and a series of daily necessities for you. There are still some spare rooms in the dormitory. For convenience and adaptability, your dormitory has been arranged as far as possible. into the adjacent room.”
"Now, please come and pick up your personal belongings under the awning. Your dormitory room number is marked on the student card. The student handbook contains basic information such as maps, daily courses and schedules. I will give you in the conference room three during self-study time tonight. Let’s have a small meeting to answer questions.”
Beibei was the first to step forward to collect his belongings. At this time, Beibei discovered that the student card in his hand seemed to be obviously different from Shrek's card.
The student card of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is also marked with the student's name, grade and other basic information, but if you touch the side edge of the card carefully, you can feel the tiny grooves. At the same time, unlike the exquisite surfaces of the cards produced by Shrek Academy, the surfaces of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy are even a little rough. Saving a little extraneous money on such small details does not seem to be consistent with the traditional image of the Sun and Moon Empire's wealth and wealth. consistent.
The last personal item Beibei received was also a card - the "Mingdu Citizen Card".
The staff introduced with a smile:
"This is the citizen card that Mingdu just launched this month. It is also an invention of our college. Holding this card can prove your Mingdu household registration and enjoy higher queuing priority in the use of public facilities such as medical care, education and parks. Certain fee discounts.”
Beibei's expression looked a little weird after hearing "Proof of Mingdu household registration", but she didn't say much, just nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
Holding the card in his hand, he could also feel the tiny grooves on its side. Beibei keenly felt that there might be some mystery in these small grooves.
This is exactly the gadget that Huo Yuhao spent a lot of effort to create with the help of Douluo Continent's all-powerful "secret method" and materials with various bizarre characteristics - an identification card.
Interspersed between the tiny grooves are actually small rectangular convex teeth called "soul power sensing lattice". The material used to make this lattice has a characteristic - through certain processing, it can be processed by the soul power. When activated, it exhibits two completely different physical properties, reflecting soul power outward with huge differences.
This is the simplest binary information representation, and it does not even require knowledge of compilation principles, nor does it require Huo Yuhao's experience when tinkering with microcontrollers.
Of course, the identification machine used to identify the internal information of this kind of card will inevitably require some uncomplicated theoretical support. Douluo Dalu also has certain technical background in information identification, such as the laboratory of Mingdetang and the underground warehouse of Mingdu. Everyone has used ID cards.
However, various cards in the past required relatively complex secret methods to engrav fixed information directly into the card. There was basically no potential for improvement. The card maker also had high requirements for cultivation and familiarity with secret methods. Large-scale promotion was very difficult. big.
Instead of using soul power to perceive the crystal lattice, it would be much simpler to mass-produce and apply it. After Huo Yuhao toyed with the prototype of the "identity card-identification machine", Jing Hongchen slightly improved the magic circle used in it and then made it into one. The emperor, who was almost unable to govern, submitted a pilot application, and Mingdu was the first pilot city.
The identity card that looks ordinary, actually uses soul power perception lattice to represent "0" and "1" respectively. As the first generation trial identity card, the Mingdu Citizen Card does not seem to be marked with any personal information. The outside shows a unified format, but the 64-bit crystal lattice stores the most basic gender, name and martial soul information. You can't tell anything by just looking at it.
At Huo Yuhao's suggestion, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy relied on massive internal data to compile the first version of the "Character-Number" correspondence table to represent the characters in the name, and then included all the currently known martial arts (with Distinguish between major categories, for example, the hoe spirit has a round-headed hoe, a flat-headed hoe and other subdivided spirits, but uses a unified number) "Martial Spirit-Number" correspondence table.
After careful calculation, there is actually a certain margin for the 64-bit lattice. Compared with the traditional "secret information engraving" method, the binary information representation method is not only simpler to produce and easier to promote, but also has great potential for application improvement. Perhaps with the development of cryptography, it will also be easier further encryption.
As for the actual function of this thing...it is actually just incidental to distinguish household registration and provide convenience to the common people. The main thing that impressed the old emperor was that this thing is convenient for controlling population flow.
If identification cards are promoted nationwide, it will be much simpler for any city to be attacked in the future and the local blockade is completed for investigation. Soldiers can use the identification machine to swipe the cards one by one and ask for the other party's name and martial arts information. Corresponding to the information It is also very difficult to forge an identity card when the form is kept confidential.
Even, as long as the number of lattice is further stacked, various types of information can be continued to be refined...
The production of the ID card is simple, but in addition to the use of soul guidance arrays, the inside of the identification machine also contains many basic applications of compilation principles. Even according to the most pessimistic estimate, Douluo Three Kingdoms will not have the ability to imitate it within a hundred years, even the mirror. When Hongchen saw the simple identification machine created by Huo Yuhao for the first time, he couldn't help but feel confused.
The information compilation method is fundamentally different from the core array of the soul guide. Although the final implementation effect seems to be similar, they are basically two technical routes.
This made Jing Hongchen extremely suspicious. Could it be that this brain-burning thing was actually created by Huo Yuhao from scratch?
Strictly speaking, the identification machine is nothing more than a set of extremely simple programs that "identify the lattice excitation state - translate it into the corresponding binary number - match the corresponding information in the local database and display it to the user", except for the binary number It is a bit creative, and other functions can be completely achieved by using the core array with the current soul guide technology; even Huo Yuhao's equipment itself chose to take shortcuts in order to get the finished product as soon as possible, relying heavily on the function of the core array, but with What Jing Hongchen saw with his vision was of course the potential and possibilities behind a “completely different technical route”.
Some ministers have also proposed that cross-border movement permits for groups and individuals can be issued in a similar manner in the future, further increasing the difficulty of smuggling and sneaking in.
On the other side of Shrek Academy, exchange students from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy were also gathered for a brief meeting.
"Everyone from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, welcome to Shrek Academy."
Wang Yan, who had changed his third pair of glasses in a year, stood on the podium with a smile, looking at the team in front of him, some of whom he had met in the competition not long ago.
"The first lesson we are going to learn today is not some basic soul master knowledge that is commonplace. I believe that you must have learned the more basic and recognized knowledge at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Shrek will naturally give it to you with sincerity. Everyone talks about something unique."
"The content of this class is Shrek's spirit, or in other words, what makes Shrek great?"
"Ancestor Yu Xiaogang, who single-handedly promoted the merger of Shrek Academy with Lanba Academy and put forward the ten core theories that still benefit the soul master world today, had some educational content on the first generation of seven monsters that has not been widely circulated, and among them the most A representative one is: "
"There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters! No matter whether your martial soul is strong or not, I hope everyone can keep this in mind. Innate martial souls do not mean everything. As long as you put in enough effort and have the ability to With enough opportunities, one may not be able to become a titled Douluo."
