With the unexpected surprise of Li Hao, Zhou Naiyi's "stall" was supported. Besides their team, Gao Yunfeng's team was still popular. Although their last performance was not good, it was still representative of the Tianjing Machine Martial Arts level as a whole. Moreover, it was generally believed that they had accumulated experience after the defeat.
Of course, with Principal Long's character, he wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
There was a stellar geography class in the morning.
Li Hao yawned and got rid of three curious babies early in the morning. Men were always busy.
Soon, Ma Long came and sat directly beside Li Hao. "Hao Ge, let's continue our discussion from yesterday. I'm telling you, your chance has come. Ye Tong obviously likes you!"
"Don't talk nonsense. We knew each other before. It's just a reunion of old friends. I'm just a little excited."
"What's there to explain? You should be grateful to have a brother like me. I know that she only has a little affection for you, but the problem is that what you did back then left a great impression on her. Girls, especially beautiful ones, only remember what they care about. Otherwise, even if you are her real brother, it won't help. As one of the four brothers in this life, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't take action on such a beauty, you won't be able to keep her for more than a month."
Li Hao shook his head.
Ma Long looked anxious. "You, Wu Zang, and Zuo Xiaotang are all difficult to deal with, especially you. Wu Zang is passive and suitable for mature women, and Zuo Xiaotang is an anime lover. Only you, even I, a master, cannot grasp your pulse. No matter what kind of girl you like, Ye Tong is the limit for you in this life. The son-in-law of the Nan Gong family and the Ye family, wow, I'll rely on you in the future..."
Li Hao covered Ma Long's mouth. This talkative guy could really talk about anything. Zuo Xiaotang and Wu Zang were both laughing. Anyway, Li Hao had to talk about them too. Ma Long was wasting his talent by not being a matchmaker.
After getting rid of Ma Long's entanglement, Li Hao began to doze off. He was really exhausted from being tortured by Ma Long yesterday. This guy didn't know where he got so much energy.
Today was Professor Yan Nan's class. Professor Yan never called attendance, and he had the best temper.
"...At present, NUP's total economic scale and technological level have already been the first in the Solar System Alliance. However, we USE still hold the right to speak in many areas, especially the space route rights, including the development rights of several planets outside the system. These are what the Moon Federation will compete for next. From the past history, this situation is often accompanied by wars. The good thing now is that ROM's attitude is ambiguous, but they are not for Earth, but just don't want the Moon to dominate. In recent years, ROM's development cannot be underestimated, and I am more optimistic about their superior geographical location and abundant mineral resources. Of course, their population is a flaw..." Professor Yan took a sip of water.
"Li Hao!"
"Here!" Li Hao, who had just entered a dream, almost stood up straight. The whole class burst into laughter. It was unique to fall asleep in Professor Yan's class.
"Do you think there is a possibility of civil war in the Solar System Alliance?" Professor Yan asked. He remembered this student mainly because he came to class every time, but he often fell asleep. This time, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Professor Yan, to be honest, whether there is a civil war within the Solar System is not that important. Our main enemy is external." Li Hao said.
Professor Yan was slightly stunned. "Please explain."
"We explored Kepler-22b and gained a lot, but we also encountered an attack from extraterrestrial creatures for the first time. Those bugs were weird, and I think there is a conspiracy. Humans stepping on Kepler-22b is like opening Pandora's box. The biggest threat now comes from outside."Li Hao said, "Kepler-22b is the biggest achievement of human interstellar exploration. When humans hadn't developed the Moon yet, this rich terrestrial planet was already on the minds of many people. And finally, in their generation, they conquered it. Kepler is even better than imagined, but shortly after landing, the human vanguard army almost suffered a devastating blow from a swarm of silicon-based giant insects that appeared out of nowhere."
This was a big class with over two hundred people, and almost as soon as Li Hao finished speaking, laughter erupted, especially when they saw his serious expression.
Before Yan Nan could speak, someone stood up and said, "Li Hao, I think you're half-asleep. Our current technological level is absolutely among the best in the galaxy. Completely dominating the galaxy is only a matter of time. Kepler-22b is just a gift to us humans. As for those bugs, they're not even our opponents. It's only a matter of time before we wipe them out. You're too cowardly."
"That's right. This world belongs to the brave. Outside is a sea of stars and infinite opportunities. Why do we work hard? Isn't it to realize human value?"
Everyone was talking at once, and their sense of pride doubled. What kind of alien civilization was it? Humans now knew, but overall they were disappointed. They had some combat power, but faced with the combined land and air assault of humans, they could only retreat. And if they really needed to use top-level civilization, they wouldn't have to wait until now. Where was it?
Did they just stay in one place because of inexplicable fear? That was just waiting for death.
Li Hao's words suddenly aroused everyone's enthusiasm. After all, this was Tianjing Mechanical and Martial Arts, where elites gathered.
This was also the mainstream of the entire Solar System Alliance. Humans were quite confident in their current strength. Li Hao wasn't afraid, and he also agreed to go out. They must go out, but they must be cautious. Being a frog at the bottom of a well was not acceptable.
Yan Nan smiled slightly and gestured for everyone to be quiet. "Li Hao, stay after class. Let's continue. Calm down and go back to the mech competition that just ended. NUP pushed hard and even took on most of the costs. From now on, they won, but I think it's a good thing. Instead of hiding problems, it's better to throw them out, see yourself clearly, and face challenges..."
"Hao ge, you're too cowardly. What's outside? It's opportunities. I joined the Starship Department hoping to one day drive my own spaceship and lead the crew to conquer the universe. This is every man's dream. Xiaotang, right?" Ma Long whispered, "In the future, maybe I can get a fiefdom on Kepler and become a lord. How cool would that be?"
"My dream is to see an Arths concert. Tickets..."
"Okay, look at you. Wuzang, aren't we the same?"
Wuzang glanced at Li Hao. "Hao ge, do you think there's something wrong with my fighting style? I've been thinking about it all night but still can't figure it out. Is there a flaw in my training method?"
Li Hao touched his nose. When was this? Wuzang's method and foundation were very good, but his situation was more special and couldn't be analogized. But he couldn't say that.
"Don't get bogged down in details. Everyone's training methods and styles are different. Your family is professional. It's better to ask your grandpa than me."

Wuzang nodded. Li Hao might be able to fight, but his guidance was a bit lacking. It required enough experience and a high enough perspective.
Ma Long was speechless. Two idiots. They were so nervous. In the age of technology, fighting was useful, but it wasn't the main thing. Even if they were a mobile unit, what use was one person, no matter how strong they were?
So he studied the Starship Department. Although mechs were cool and heroic, they weren't practical. Wasn't it handsome to be a captain?
Yeah, then let Momo be his first mate. Romantic interstellar travel. Life...
Ding ding ding...
The bell for class rang. Everyone was a little unsatisfied with their imagination and passion. Li Hao was also ready to leave, but he didn't expect Professor Yan Nan to remember him and nod at him. Li Hao had no choice but to follow her quickly, after all, the credits for this course were crucial.
In the mentor lounge next to the classroom.Yan Nan wiped his glasses and smiled, "You're young, but very mature. I've read some of your papers and they show a strong sense of concern. Is there a reason for that?"
Li Hao shrugged, "Professor Yan, Kepler-22b is a perfect Earth-like planet, with a diameter 2.4 times that of Earth, a temperature of around 21 degrees, oceans, forests, and several rare elements that we don't have on Earth. Even after exploring the solar system, we haven't come across such a perfect place. The only limitation was the distance of 600 light-years and the wormhole technology. But we've only just mastered wormhole technology, and the flares around the star Kepler provided us with coordinates for our first wormhole jump. Kepler turned out to be even better than we expected. However, the appearance of the giant insects is strange. They are silicon-based life forms and quite peculiar. Is it possible that we've overlooked something, like another civilization fishing?"
Yan Nan nodded, "Have you read my paper 'Interstellar Civilization Barrier' from two years ago?"
"Yes, Professor. I completely agree with your view that there may be some kind of spatial barrier between star systems, preventing high civilizations from invading low civilizations. Wormholes are like fishing rods, and when we arrived at Kepler, it was the human coordinates that were opened. Since we've taken this step, we can't be too optimistic." This was not Li Hao's unfounded concern, but the impact of Bleem, as many of his combat training simulations were about Kepler-22b. Based on current knowledge, Bleem was not shooting in the dark.
The low-level giant insects, which were not considered civilized, left a deep impression on him. They were not primitive.
"In fact, there are many scientists who hold this view. But Kepler has been of great help to us humans. I have access to some internal information, and I can say that it can help us achieve a technological leap of a hundred years. NUP's current transformation is the best, and the new weapons performed well because of Kepler's new element K23, also known as the God Element in the materials industry. The madness is understandable. If you have any ideas, you can always come to me to discuss."
Professor Yan patted Li Hao on the back. Overall, humanity was in a state of blind optimism and expansion, which was the mainstream.
Li Hao nodded. If there were extraterrestrial civilizations fishing, then the solar system was a fat fish. If not, then humanity was the chosen one. The video and situation of Kepler-22b were hot topics, and it was the kind of place you wanted to go just by looking at it.
If you had to find a suitable word to describe it, it would be... paradise.
(A new book is coming, my friends. Please give it a small collection. PS: All scientific theories in the book are basically nonsense.)
