Most of the people in the monitoring station area were transferred from the military. Just now, a retired soldier had scanned the area on a whim with the military scanning equipment. This kind of scanning equipment would estimate the overall combat power of every spaceship, starship, and transport ship, especially the defense equipment and weapon peripheral systems.
As soon as they scanned, they found the data of Silin's spaceship. It almost blinded their eyes. Looking at the final estimated data, those who did not know would think that it was an analysis of the combined combat power of a fleet.
If it was a noble's emblem, everyone wouldn't be so surprised. After all, the upper nobles also had such flying equipment. However, the problem was that the noble's emblem wasn't shown during identity verification, and the aircraft was a small one.
He was neither a noble nor an important person. He seemed to have a mediocre background, and he was a young man. This was worth considering.
Of course, no one would stop Silin because of this. After all, they were just curious as to whether or not he had violated any regulations. It was boring and mentally exhausting to do the same work every day, and they needed something new to refresh themselves. Moreover, the station chief had specifically told them to report it.
"You know him?" The person in front of the desk asked when he saw that his old friend knew this guy.
"Yes, strange. What is this guy doing in the twenty-three star regions?"
"People from your circle?" He was referring to the noble circle.
"Not exactly."
"What do you mean not exactly? Hey, Tuo Sen, do you have to beat around the bush like this? Who is this kid? Is he a noble or not? "
The two were old comrades. However, the man had retired from the military to recuperate because of his injuries. After he recovered, he did not return to the military and was transferred to this monitoring station area to do a leisurely job. Tuo Sen would sometimes come to visit him and steal some snacks. Otherwise, how could he even know the password to the storage cabinet?
Tuo Sen put down the bottle. "Tell your men that I want to communicate with that kid."
The man looked at Tuo Sen suspiciously, but he did not say much and ordered his men to connect.
At this moment, Silin did not mind being scanned by the scanning equipment. He was not on a secret mission anyway. He was open and aboveboard, and he was not afraid of suspicion.
However, before he could fly the spaceship out of this monitoring area, he received a communication request from the monitoring station. Silin did not refuse. He clicked on the connection, and a familiar face appeared on the screen.
"Nuhachi Tousen? Oh, he should be called Lieutenant Colonel Nuhachi Tousen now. " On his way here, Silin had seen some current information about the twenty-third star region. There were a few familiar faces that he paid special attention to, and he also learned about Nuhach Tousen, an old acquaintance he had met at Barren Bator Academy. When he and Bel first met Tuo Sen in Barren Bator, Tuo Sen was still a major, but he was promoted to lieutenant colonel so quickly. Even though he had a noble background, the main reason was his own ability. As expected of a member of the Nuhachi Family, one of the military giants.
Seeing that Silin could still recognize him, Tuo Sen cut to the chase. "I'm at the monitoring station now. Do you have time? If you have time, let's chat. I'm on vacation. "
This time, Tuo Sen didn't put on any airs. If Silin needed any help in the 23rd Star Field, then he would also lend a hand.
"Sure." Since there was still time, Silin did not refuse.
He turned the spaceplane and flew directly to the main monitoring station Tuo Sen mentioned.
Since Silin had already been informed, he was not stopped from entering the monitoring station. After a routine inspection, Silin was allowed to enter.
"Long time no see, Silin!" Tuo Sen was very polite. He did not ask anyone to lead the way, but came himself.
"Long time no see, Lieutenant Colonel Tuo Sen."
They arrived at a reception room. This was the reception room for the station commander. Tuo Sen brought Silin directly to this reception room, where the station commander was already sitting.
"Let me introduce you. This is Zhu Ming, the station commander and a former comrade of mine. Zhu Ming, this is Silin. "
Zhu Ming raised an eyebrow and looked at Tuo Sen. That's it? Just a name, no other introduction?
Zhu Ming was quite polite to Silin. Although Tuo Sen did not introduce him too much, he was not as dull as he was when he first joined the army. How could someone who could be treated like this by Tuo Sen be of low status?
"AF1 is on vacation now?" Tuo Sen asked Silin. His younger brother, Briles, was in AF3, so he would naturally pay attention to what was happening in the affiliated schools. He knew that there should be a period of relaxation after the first phase of testing.
Not long ago, the Zebra virus made everyone panic. However, there were no cases in the 23rd Star Region, which was at the edge of the region. Before the virus spread, it was already over. Therefore, other than some people who paid special attention to this area, other people's understanding of the Zebra virus was just a joke. The 23rd Military Region also received limited orders at the time. They only increased the intensity of the testing, and not long after, they heard that the drug was out. Therefore, Tuo Sen did not know that Silin had done so many things.
Zhu Ming was surprised to hear that Silin was from AF1. He was not very knowledgeable, but he knew about the famous affiliated schools of the empire, not to mention that Tuo Sen often talked about his good-for-nothing younger brother in AF3. Therefore, Zhu Ming knew very well that Silin was a person with real knowledge. Most of the students in AF3 were from noble families, and people of high status could go there just by saying hello. However, AF1 and AF2 were places where even princes couldn't do anything special. Everything depended on one's ability.
Zhu Ming, who was just being polite just now, sat up straight. He used to be a soldier and didn't have much knowledge. Therefore, Zhu Ming admired those who had real talent, especially those who had real talent and didn't look down on others with their noses.
"So you're a talent from AF1! I admire people like you who are knowledgeable! "Zhu Ming smiled. This smile was much more sincere.
"Oh right, Silin, what are you doing here? Visiting? "Tuo Sen had investigated Silin before, so he knew about Old Chang's situation.
"That's one of them. I'm here with a mission from my teacher."
Tuo Sen looked understanding. He had heard that people from AF1 usually did not attend classes or complete missions from their teacher.
"Do you need any help?"
"Not at the moment. My teacher said someone has already made arrangements here. Just contact them when the time comes."
"Good. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. I'm still free during the holidays. Don't complain if you miss this opportunity," Tuo Sen said with a smile.
The three of them talked about the recent events in the 23rd Star Region. Tuo Sen would not divulge anything related to the military, so he could only talk about the Star Region.
As they talked, they talked about the famous San Calombo Advanced Education School in the 23rd Star Region. San Calombo Advanced Education School had never been ranked in the top three in the past hundred years, and it was once the top school in the 23rd Star Region.
"Oh right, I heard that San Calombo invited someone from the RAS to give a talk. San Calombo Advanced Education School is going to be popular again this year," Zhu Ming said.
"Oh? I've never heard of that. " Tuo Sen had been busy all this time, so he did not have much time to pay attention to it. Only Zhu Ming, who had nothing better to do, would pay attention to it.
"Silin, do you know who's coming this time? What's the topic? " Zhu Ming looked expectantly at Silin. It was rare for the RAS to announce a topic in advance, and this wasn't something the military could easily find out.
"Ahem, well, we haven't decided on the topic yet." It wasn't that Silin wanted to keep it a secret, but he really wasn't sure. He had prepared a couple of topics, but Guan Feng told him that it was fine. He just needed to choose the one that interested the most based on the situation. Therefore, Silin thought that he would investigate the topic himself before making a decision.
Zhu Ming's eyes lit up at first. If Silin knew this kind of convenient information, then he must know a lot more.
"Which department of the Royal Academy of Sciences are they from? Who is it? " Zhu Ming had always admired the RAS. He didn't think that he was very knowledgeable, but he hoped that he could learn more from the RAS so that he could teach his children more things in the future. He didn't want to be a boorish man in an elite uniform. If he couldn't stay in the military, he might as well learn more about other things. The older a person grew, the more they wanted to learn.
Who is it?
Silin rubbed his head, chuckled and pointed at himself. "You flatter me. I'm still far from it."
Both Tuo Sen and Zhu Ming's faces twitched at the same time. Zhu Ming didn't move for a long time.
Is this a scam?!
Zhu Ming's image of a white-haired, scholarly man whose every word and action exuded wisdom and accomplishment was gone. Gone...
Tuo Sen was just as surprised. Most of the RAS students were middle-aged, and there were a few freaks who had graduated from AF1 and AF2 who had gone there straight away. However, he didn't think that Silin would be the one who was invited.
"When … when did you join the RAS?" Tuo Sen asked.
"Not long ago. My mentor sent me here to give a lecture in his place."
"Er, you haven't graduated from AF1 yet, have you?"
"No."
Tuo Sen rubbed his hands together. "So you're going to San Calombo to give a lecture?"
Silin nodded.
Zhu Ming was stunned for a long time before he smiled awkwardly. The truth was too hard to believe. AF1 was one thing, but this was the RAS!
Silin didn't want anyone here to know that someone from the RAS had arrived. He hoped that Tuo Sen and Zhu Ming would keep it a secret for the time being. Tuo Sen and Zhu Ming patted their chests as a guarantee.
After chatting for a while, Silin left the monitoring station and flew to San Calombo Advanced Education Academy.
After personally sending Silin off, Zhu Ming and Tuo Sen returned to the office.
Zhu Ming didn't pay much attention to Silin's absence. He grabbed Tuo Sen and asked, "What kind of monster is that kid? He's so young, only in his early twenties, right? Does that mean he's an honorary scholar of the RAS? I always thought that honorary scholars of the RAS were middle-aged or old men. "
Tuo Sen shook his head. "I'm not sure either. I only know that he's in AF1, and he's very strong. Also, if he wants his surname to be 'Gen', he can be."
Zhu Ming took a deep breath. The 'Gen' that Tuo Sen mentioned referred to the royal family of Foggy. If Silin was willing, he could be a member of the royal family.
"… F * ck!" Zhu Ming only managed to squeeze out a word after a long time. Why was there such a huge difference between people?
"No, I have to take a leave first. I'll go to San Calombo and see what that kid is talking about," Zhu Ming said. In the past, he had always watched famous researchers and scholars from all over the world give talks on the Internet. He had always thought that listening to a talk could be done just by watching it on the Internet. Why would he put down his work and go sit with a group of people to listen to a talk?
But now, Zhu Ming really wanted to go and see for himself how capable that kid was to climb to such a level and obtain such a title that many academic researchers struggled for their entire lives.
After checking the time and arranging his vacation, Tuo Sen put down his wine bottle and said, "Alright, let's go see if he's the real deal!"
The RAS wasn't a place you could enter just because you had connections, and it wasn't a place that ordinary nobles could meddle with. They didn't give face to anyone other than the emperor and the three kings. Perhaps the people in the capital star region wouldn't be too surprised, but outside of it, the people of the RAS were like rare treasures. It was hard to even catch a glimpse of them, and they had a lot of admirers.
Silin flew to San Calombo Advanced Education Academy. He didn't contact the school because he wanted to see the academic atmosphere and inclination here first.
San Calombo was a famous school in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire. This planet was called San Calombo, and it was founded by a noble with the surname "Calombo". At the time, "Calombo" wasn't a big noble yet. It was just a normal noble that had just risen to power. Later, it slowly rose to the status of a big noble due to its contributions to the stability of the empire.
Although Calombo could be considered an upper-class noble now, its glory days were long gone. The Calombo Family had always supported the school, and it had raised a lot of talented people for the family.
The school took up half of San Calombo's surface area. Any big school would pay a lot of attention to the layout of the buildings, especially the scenery.
There were a lot of garden-like buildings, picnicking forests, plazas and parks around the dormitories. The hardware was also very good at keeping up with the technology. The amount of effort a school could put into its facilities was proof of how much effort it put into educating its students.
Many schools would rather spend a lot of money to renovate the terrain and environment, making the campus scenery incomparably gorgeous and the buildings brilliant. However, when it came to real teaching, they would always cut corners. Golden on the outside, but rotten on the inside. Flashy but impractical education was simply difficult to cultivate outstanding talents.
There were still a few days before the lecture. Although there weren't many people from other planets on San Calombo's campus, there were already many signs on the light screens: "Welcome to the RAS!"
They didn't mention whether the person was an academician or an honorary scholar. They probably didn't know that the probability of becoming an academician and an honorary scholar was 1: 50.
Since they didn't know, they didn't dare to say anything.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that the Royal Academy of Sciences had sent someone over to give a speech, but most of the advertisements on the screen were about the research results of the students in the university, as well as the awards they had won.
The atmosphere here was pretty good. There were some students sitting on the wooden chairs and chatting with each other. There were also students who were reading their course notes on their laptops. There were also people who were fishing by the side of the lake.
Splash!
A fish leaped out of the lake. Huimao's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"Silin, let's go fishing!"
There were many fish in the lake. There were a few shops around the lake that rented fishing gear. However, after renting the gear, they would take a percentage of the fish they caught.
Most people only enjoyed the process. They didn't have much of a complaint about how many fish they caught and how much they let the rental point take.
At Huimao's request, Silin rented a set of fishing gear from one of the shops. Then, he started walking around the lake in search of a fishing spot.
It was noon, and it would be lunchtime soon. Silin had arrived late. Many of the good fishing spots had already been taken, so he had to walk further.
There were boats floating on the lake. They were all small boats for the students to have fun. It was a good place for couples to go for a little tryst. There were security personnel and robots guarding the area. If someone fell into the water or met with an accident, they would be able to react in time. No one was worried.
Some people liked to rent a boat and fish. Silin didn't know what the result was.
Wheeze saw a lot of people catching fish along the way. The size of the fish aside, it was still considered a catch. As long as they managed to catch a fish, they would feel proud of themselves and that their trip here wasn't a wasted one.
Huimao scanned the distribution of the fish in the lake. The fish in the surroundings were too small. The ones in the center of the lake were bigger. So, he suggested, "Silin, why don't we rent a boat and fish in the center of the lake? The fish there are bigger. How can the small fish around be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth?"
"That works." Anyway, Silin treated it as a relaxing activity. It didn't matter where they went. Since Huimao suggested it, they would go to the center of the lake.
They rented a small boat. When it was rented, it didn't look like a boat. It looked like a door, but after it was unfolded, it looked like a boat.
The robot helped Cillin send the boat to the other side of the lake. After paying the robot for the service, Cillin and Wheeze jumped onto the boat, turned on the navigation system, adjusted the boat's speed, and popped out a canopy. While he was at it, he unfolded two folding chairs and sat there, staring leisurely at the lake.
Fishing trained patience, but Huimao obviously wasn't patient when it came to fishing. The fishing gear was too troublesome. After playing for a while, he jumped into the lake to catch fish. He even chased the fish living at the bottom of the lake up, causing people to appear around him with nets to catch the fish.
Not far away, a few boats carrying students also let out cries of surprise.
The boat moved automatically, and Silin got closer and closer to them. When he got closer, some students greeted Silin. Silin just smiled and responded.
It seemed that they treated him as a student here.
