Extraordinary pedigree

Listening to the bewitching words below, Xia Xiu, who was attached to his memory, couldn't help but look down at the professor who was speaking. The professor below was a middle-aged man in his early forties. Although his appearance was ordinary, his face was slightly... He looks thin, with traces of time, and his skin is well maintained, with only minor wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

He is quite well-dressed, wearing a crisp suit. The dark-colored clothes make him look more professional and dignified. The suit is well-tailored, showing that he pays attention to his personal image. On the podium, he stood or walked with smooth and natural movements, demonstrating his proficiency and confidence in the subjects he taught.

Juan Martinez, the father of electronic channels.

It was the other party who discovered the [Electronic Channel] and single-handedly promoted the Iberian lighthouse construction plan and the implementation of the national high welfare system.

At this moment, Juan Martinez, the father of electronic channels, was explaining to his students the future direction of Iberia and his own views without any scruples.

"Professor Juan, may I take the liberty to ask, have you really understood everything about electron channels?"

The sudden cry broke the silence of the classroom and interrupted Juan Martinez's words.

The voice was not only loud but also a little urgent, like a student who couldn't wait to ask a question.

Juan Martinez's originally calm expression paused slightly at that moment, and a trace of imperceptible displeasure flashed across his usually calm eyes.

This subtle change of emotion only lasted a moment in his eyes, and was quickly replaced by a professional smile.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head, and looked across the steps of the classroom. Although his eyes were gentle, they carried an unquestionable majesty, as if he was looking for the owner of the voice.

Finally, his eyes were fixed on the student who asked the question.

At that moment, the professor's mind began to work rapidly, and he was recalling the name of this classmate. .

As his eyes slowly moved around the classroom, all the students' eyes turned to the classmate who bravely asked the question.

Pedro Iberia, a rising star, an emerging physicist and a "nascent liberal" who supported military restructuring. Juan Martinez quickly recalled Pedro's memory.

At this moment, Pedro at the top of the steps was looking at Juan Martinez with burning eyes. It was obvious that it was not Xia Xiu who controlled this body now, but Pedro's memory inertia.

Xia Xiu can now sense all of Pedro's thoughts and inner thoughts.

Pedro is a man living in the "post-electronic age".

He lived in a time when Iberia was at its most prosperous. He lived in a high-welfare society with inexhaustible energy. He lived in a period of great national strength when marine engineering and the [Invincible Fleet] dominated the northwestern regions of the Chaos Sea. .

The Juan Martinez in front of him is the father of electronic channels and one of the creators of Iberia's brilliant achievements.

Pedro had no reason to doubt the basis of these reputations, so when they met for the first time, he almost idolized Juan Martinez and the history created by him.

"You are Pedro Iberia, Iberia. This is an incredible surname. I hope you will not insult him. I have known you, and they told me that you have done a pretty good job in parallel theory. I I remember your papers, which were about parallel fusion and military reform. You seem to like change very much?"

Juan Martinez said to Pedro with a warm smile on his face.

He did not answer the question directly, so Pedro continued to ask:

"I don't mean to ask you this, I just hope you can answer some questions for me. Professor, there are still many mysteries about the electron channel itself that have not been solved. Who opened the electron channel first? You said that the electron channel is stealing Mars. The soul authority of the sleeping God of All Machines above, but who opened the electronic channel first? How is the transmission established? Is it random or purposeful? What is the specific manifestation of the electronic channel? Are we really stealing authority on Mars?"

"I remember that I published a paper to the Academy of Sciences on how to trick parallel creatures into opening channels and permanently occupying them." The professor's voice was slightly cold.

"But this is not certain. Maybe the aliens on the other side are not idiots who don't know everything. On the contrary, they may be disguised like the wolf grandmother in fairy tales, inducing us to relax our vigilance and use the power of the channel without restraint. , you have not ruled out this possibility."

As the questioner's questions gradually became more pointed and even provocative, the atmosphere in the classroom began to change subtly.

When the originally gentle Juan Martinez faced such direct and sharp questioning, the smile he had always maintained on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by an indescribable gloom.

The professor's eyes became dark, and an imperceptible shadow enveloped his face. His brows wrinkled slightly, the corners of his mouth gradually drooped, and his entire expression began to show obvious displeasure.

This change in mood is particularly prominent in the professor who is usually calm and rigorous.

His eyes were fixed on the student who asked the question, and his eyes that were usually full of wisdom and tolerance seemed to be shining with a different kind of light at this moment.

"Do you think everything we have now is a gift from the people on the other side of the channel?"

Juan Martinez's voice was no longer calm, and every word contained a hint of uncontrollable coldness. Other students in the classroom felt the depressing atmosphere and turned their heads to stare at this scene.

"I just think there are many doubts. The practical electronic channel has developed too fast, and we have not thoroughly understood it on a theoretical level. Once there is an accident in the channel, Iberia's strategic goal of relying entirely on the channel will be hit hard. , then the whole of Iberia may usher in a post-disaster crisis that will disappear for ten, twenty years, or even a hundred years..." Pedro subconsciously flinched at Juan Martinez's gaze, but he Still haven't given up on my idea.

"That's enough, this kind of thing is impossible. Stop engaging in such useless divergent thinking. Take back your rhetoric that is full of corrupt thoughts about heaven." Juan Martinez's smile has completely disappeared. , and it can be expected that he will not appear again when facing Pedro in the future.

"If our human wisdom is not worth mentioning in your research, and all our research is just accidental and a gift from the gods, then it is impossible for this research to be published here, and it is absolutely impossible as long as I am here. I will not belittle humanity and human intelligence, nor will I treat the angels of heaven as the Almighty God!!!”

Clearly, Juan Martinez was angry.

"But this is not the same thing..."

Pedro was initially saddened by Juan Martinez's reaction, but his inner persistence allowed him to quickly ignore the sadness.

He said to him like a stubborn child:

"Neither omniscience nor ignorance can cause people to be arrogant. The only thing that can make people feel arrogant is knowing a little but blinding them."

"This sentence is about you, Pedro Iberia! You know a little but are blind! You are simply an insult..."

Dangdangdang——

The bell rang, ending Pedro's first argument with Juan Martinez.

The most direct result of this incident is that Pedro Iberia's career as a physicist has been completely ended.

If you challenge authority, you have to pay the price.

Authority cannot be challenged.

No matter which era, which world, which place, it is the same.

No matter how many times Pedro later proposed to close the establishment of electronic channels, he only received cold rejection and undisguised hostility.

Even if he lowers his posture in the end, it will be the same.

"Pedro Iberia, you should be ashamed of this name! You don't deserve to have the name of the great Iberia in your name!"

"I have said countless times that there is no way this research could be published here, and as long as I am here, it will be absolutely impossible."

then.

Pedro turned even more determinedly to another path - the Saints of the Hunting Hall.

He wanted to complete his own path in another aspect, and he wanted to perfect Iberia's distorted military system.

Xia Xiu witnessed all this like a witness to history.

Click——

The memory pictures began to fragment again, and new memory pictures began to appear.

**********

"Society is a republic. If a person wants to make progress, everyone will laugh, scold, and force him to retreat. No one can be better than others or smarter than others. Who can rely on his irreversible genius? , is superior to ordinary people, society rejects him, ridicules him, and refuses to relax at all. It must belittle him until he is alone and stuck in his own thoughts before he can let him go. "

In a vast world covered with snow, a small nest covered by ice and snow is hidden here.

In this cold environment, there is a hint of warmth in the nest.

On a kang made of ice, flames danced, emitting warm light and heat.

In this simple but cozy haven, two men in thick clothes surrounded the flames, their cheeks flushed by the cold wind.

The older man looked quite old, and his face was filled with the ravines of time.

He was concentrating on smearing gun oil on his flintlock, his movements skillful and meticulous. Next to him, lying quietly was an exquisite Iberian-style long sword. The patterns on the hilt were complex and exquisite, revealing an ancient aristocratic atmosphere.

It was him who made the sound just now.

He scolded the young man next to him in a heavy voice, with a hint of worry and reproach in his voice.

Young people, on the other hand, appear more casual.

He stared at the jumping flames and played with a gorgeous handgun. This pistol is undoubtedly more refined and modern than the old man's flintlock gun, and is decorated with exquisite metal carvings. He also wears a sword on his waist, but compared with the old man's long sword, it is lighter and more suitable for drawing swords quickly. Facing the old man's scolding, the young man didn't seem to take it too seriously.

His attitude was casual, and his pupils were even a little dilated.

When Xia Xiu opened his eyes again, the harsh and worried scolding voice echoed in his ears.

He turned around and found himself in a world of ice and snow.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Diego Flores looked at his "silly" adopted son and apprentice with a worried look on his face.

"I...it's okay, I just thought of Juan Martinez."

Pedro said, lowering his head.

"I get angry when I talk about him." When Flores heard his apprentice talking about this man, he couldn't help but open a plate of wine bottles and took a swig. "Why did you provoke that guy in the first place? And It took me ten years to mess with you, and I wasted my scientific research talent and career. Isn't it better to sit in the office and be an academic thaumaturge? You have to be a hunter. I raised you so big that you can take over my class. Well."

Listening to Flores' words, the inertia of memory began to work again, and Pedro, possessed by Xia Xiu, once again recounted his own experiences based on what had happened.

"Dad, stop nagging. Besides, my scientific research career is not over. The Ice Source Rambler I developed has begun production."

The young man's casual attitude clearly irritated the older man. The old man couldn't help but stop what he was doing and hit the young man on the head hard, as if to remind him to be focused and serious.

After Pedro was knocked on the head, although he showed a hint of dissatisfaction, he also restrained himself and appeared more serious.

"That's because you became the [Master]. Speaking of destiny, it's bullshit. You and Juan Martinez are both the holders of [Solomon's Key]." Flores said after applying gun oil The flintlock gun was put away.

"Indeed." Xia Xiu, who was possessed by Pedro, briefly took over control of his body and acknowledged this shitty fate.

You see, this is not another [Solomon Key], and he has a hunch that there is a high probability that he and the other party will meet soon.

"Pedro, remember what I told you before, don't go against Juan Martinez, he has already started to fight for [the crown], and in the foreseeable future, he will become Iberia's new star. of the sun.”

Flores warned his apprentice in an extremely serious manner, and then, as if he remembered something, he continued to say to Pedro:

"Stop your reform ideas, stop instigating young people, and stop mentioning military reform. The Iberian military is now divided into two factions, one is the liberal faction of highly educated intellectuals, and the other is the The old guard who entered society early with low education.

What the conservatives support is a seniority system, a struggle between classes and hierarchies, not equality for everyone.

The new soldiers must be the slaves of the veterans and the leek of the veterans.

The same is true for the hunters in [Hall of Hunting]. Those deep-sea hunters who are injected with deep-sea blood and have learned the supreme art, and those non-deep-sea hunters who are from academic factions and have awakened their natal guns, they also have a senior-disciple system or a master-apprentice system.

There are a lot of rules, strict boundaries between different levels, and new recruits are strictly monitored and controlled by veterans.

I have learned a lot about the Kingdom of Heaven, but without the fate of the Kingdom of Heaven, all I have learned is a bunch of diseases. The Iberian think tank does not even have the space to let Eden run at full strength, although the Iberian genealogy is not based on the think tank. .

The current system is rotten and solidified, and you cannot reform it alone.

When those veterans are about to retire, they will look for a successor among the recruits who suits their style, a leader, a talker, and maintain the system of seniors and apprentices.

But if the successor has incorrect ideas, has a tendency to sympathize with the new recruits, and cannot strictly manage the new recruits, he will be ideologically criticized by the veterans, or even replaced, so as not to affect the veterans who are waiting to retire. "

Flores continued to drink and advised his apprentice sincerely:

"Those people, if they see that the leader who helps them manage new recruits cannot maintain the old system, they will naturally be dissatisfied and replace them.

Most people have experienced the dire straits of the senior apprentice system, and many people have experienced similar situations. It is difficult to be a human being between veterans and recruits.

Although you have the power to lead new recruits, behind you there is a group of senior students who support the system and are watching your every move, watching whether you will lean towards the recruits, and watching which party may harm their own rights and interests.

Those leaders who appear to be leaders often have no control over their own actions, and there are not many brave men who really dare to challenge the system.

Either I just go with the flow and play along, or I just can't stand it and try to change my unit and leave the system.

Pedro, the water in Iberia is very deep, deep enough to suffocate you. "
