On the day of the freshmen's opening ceremony, Silin's quartet sat a few rows at the back of the auditorium.
Silin was sleeping on his chair, Knight was playing with the tank model in his hands, Ci Jincheng was reading a book, and Lung was looking left and right at the beauties. In short, none of the quartet paid attention to the speech of the freshmen representative and Seven Lights higher-ups at the center stage. In reality, there were a lot of students like them.
However, Silin suddenly heard a familiar voice in his sleep state. He woke up from his slumber and opened his eyes to look at the center stage.
As expected, it was a familiar face.
The speaker was one of the vice headmasters of Seven Lights, the head of the scientific research department, Mo Heng. He was also the old man Silin met at the train station at the trade zone.
When Silin looked over, the speaking Mo Heng suddenly noticed Silin's gaze. After a moment of blankness, a rather meaningful smile appeared on Mo Heng's face.
Vice headmaster An Ting, who was sitting next to Mo Heng and thinking about what to eat for lunch, suddenly shivered. He looked up and saw Mo Heng's strange smile. To those who did not know Mo Heng, the smile looked amiable, but those who did know Mo Heng knew that this old man must be up to something again!
Silin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. What on earth was this vice headmaster trying to do?
Silin's quartet left impatiently when the opening ceremony was finally over. They were really bored to death sitting there.
After the opening ceremony, it was time for class to officially begin.
Seven Lights offered a lot of courses, and they were divided into major categories. Literature, economics, theory, engineering, military, and so on. There were no other restrictions such as category restrictions aside from rank restrictions. However, if a student chose a course but failed the exam in the end, then apologies, not only would their credits not increase, they would even be deducted.
Therefore, normally, students would choose a major that they were familiar with. They would be able to advance as long as they had enough credits. If they could not meet the minimum requirements, they would have to repeat a year, and if they could not advance in three years, they would be forced to drop out of school. However, if they could obtain enough credits, they could apply to advance in advance.
The military was what the male students yearned for the most, but it was also the hardest to obtain credits. Therefore, if one wanted to choose the military, they had to first weigh themselves. Otherwise, it would be too late to regret it even if they lost themselves.
Of course, it was impossible for the academy to stifle the enthusiasm of the students. Each major category had its own elective courses. Those who were interested in that category but were not sure if they could get all the credits could choose the elective courses. The credits for the elective courses were only one-tenth of the credits for the original courses, but they were easy to get, and the teachers were not strict, so they were quite popular among the students.
Ci Jincheng had chosen some courses under the general category of literature. Since he was a specially enrolled student, there were other standards. Lung mainly chose economics, but he also chose literature as an elective because there were many beauties there. In his words, he was going there to wash his eyes. Without a doubt, Knight chose the military category. He wasn't interested in anything else.
As for Silin, he had chosen a few courses under each major, and none of them were electives. As long as their schedules didn't clash and they were within class time, he would choose them all. It could be said that Silin's daily schedule was relatively full. Of course, weekends didn't count. Weekends were a time for rest and recuperation.
Due to the different courses they chose, the chances of the four of them meeting each other during the day was much lesser. Silin bought another hoverboard. After all, he couldn't always count on Lung's flying car, and everyone's class schedule was different. Specially enrolled students like Ci Jincheng often stayed over at the research division, while Knight often stayed over at the training division. After all, it was more convenient there. Lung would drive his flying car to the trade area every day after class to 'tease' the higher grade students, causing everyone in the trade area to want nothing more than to run away from Lung the moment they saw him.
Therefore, in this way, only Silin was a permanent resident of the dormitory. But that was fine, it made it more convenient for Silin to handle some matters.
That Boston creeper wrapped in ecological film was going to stick up if it wasn't dealt with soon.
On the first weekend of the semester, Silin was the only one in the dormitory.
Silin took out a clean tray from inside his room, tore open the ecological film and placed the vine on top. The surrounding nutrient solution didn't seem to be of much help to it, the green color of the leaf appeared dim and weak.
Silin placed his finger on the leaf and closed his eyes, feeling the information transmitted from his finger.
The division of every cell on the leaf, the different components within the cells, the interpretation of genetic information...
The relevant information and data flashed through his mind, and the biochip integrated into the chromosomes in Silin's body analyzed everything it came into contact with like a precise instrument. Cillin had a very strange feeling. It was different from those lifeless, lifeless things. This kind of pulsating liveliness gave Cillin the urge to communicate with it.
Silin seemed to have found this vine's life code. If he could decipher this code, he would be able to understand this plant's survival conditions. More specifically, he would be able to know what this plant needed the most right now.
Silin could clearly sense what this vine was yearning for, and at the same time, he could also sense its weakness and unease.
Thoughts?
That's right, that's their thoughts.
Cillin remembered Genya's words very clearly. Back then, Genya had told Cillin while sitting under the Fuji tree, "There are very few people who truly care about the lives of plants, but in reality, they desire to communicate more than anything. The resonance of life is much easier to win their favor than a rigid machine."
Of course, Genya's words were actually based on the Fuji tree. Fuji trees were considered superior in the world of plants, or else they wouldn't have been called "Upper Tree Fuji". Genya had also said that the higher the grade, the clearer their thoughts. They were like a species between plant and animal, with the form of a plant and the thoughts of an animal.
From the looks of it, this mutated Boston creeper was actually an evolved species. Silin could accurately contact that kind of clear thoughts.
His thoughts were transmitted through the biochip in his body to the leaf, and Silin expressed his kindness.
This vine was like a child that had just left its mother's womb. After coming into contact with Silin's kindness, it felt a long-lost sense of security and transmitted its thoughts.
Silin picked up the tray, looked at the vine on the tray and said quietly, "Don't worry, I'm right here, right next to you."
Before he left, Silin installed a button. This was set by Ci Jincheng, so when it was activated, the people outside would see the scene inside as preset, and would not be able to see the true changes that were happening in the courtyard.
On the ground directly below the window of Silin's bedroom, Silin chiseled away the foundation surface of the house and exposed the soil underneath. He put the vine down and sprinkled some normal nutrient solution on it, and the vine began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The color of the leaf began to become full of life, and the vine began to grow and extend, climbing up one "foot" after another. At the same time, when it reached a certain height, both sides of the vine began to grow more and more branches.
Silin sat on the lawn and watched it grow, extending into the surroundings step by step.
In reality, they were very easy to raise, and they didn't have high requirements for their environment. It wasn't that they didn't want to absorb those nutrients before, but that this child that had left its mother's body was too vigilant. If their vigilance wasn't quelled, they would rather wither and return to the dust than accept the relief that was delivered to them.
The instruments inside Seven Lights' research zone's Institute of Botany could analyze this plant's genetic code and related traits in detail, but they couldn't communicate with this plant. This was the difference between a machine and a living being.
The wonder of life was that it couldn't be explained with words, but one could clearly feel that living existence.
At dusk, Silin looked at the plant that had already covered most of the dormitory's surface and smiled. Those three fellows would probably be shocked when they returned, wouldn't they?
