Chapter 1,261 Popular Translation of the Imperial Military Academy Admissions Process

Xi Ling's appearance was just yesterday. The city-wide martial law that was more or less a mistake is still vivid in many people's minds. However, martial law comes and goes quickly. Now Shadow City has returned to normal order. The aftermath of martial law only caused a little after-dinner talk among the citizens. This city, which has become accustomed to all kinds of big noises, did not take martial law seriously at all. It has now quickly returned to its stable daily life. The impact of the incident on the citizens was not even greater than the last anniversary celebration of the Ji Zhudan Wholesale Market in the west end of the city, when the whole city was panic buying - Shadow City is such a high-end, foreign-style, upscale, high-tech place. ..

However, although ordinary citizens have returned to their daily work and life, the Xiling apostles are just about to get busy: they have to adapt to the suddenly strengthened data network. Now Paopao and Taweil have begun to transform the empire network based on Xiling's current strength. What can be confirmed is that after Xiling was re-integrated into the spiritual network, the latter's overall load capacity has been nearly doubled, and if With a better structure, there is still room for improvement. In response to this situation, Paopao reorganized the segmentation method of the spiritual network and expanded the capacity of the originally smaller subnet to reduce resource waste and make full use of the load capacity of the current stronger backbone network. This transformation may take half a month to complete, but now the Imperial soldiers in Shadow City can access the new network after the transformation. The networks in other areas will be partitioned and transformed later. Now every Xiling apostle in Shadow City can call more computing resources from the network, and the response speed of this network has become faster. This is a good thing, but it does take some getting used to. Although in my opinion, increasing a 10pb per second network to 100pb per second (roughly this meaning) is already beyond my understanding...

Because he followed Tavel's suggestion, Paopao did not "erase" all the old network architecture, but instead used it as a backup connection to sink to the bottom of the network. If necessary, old connections can be reactivated in the shortest possible time. This is to prevent accidents: We are not familiar with the new unit of Xi Ling. Although she can have an effect as long as she is connected to the Internet, and theoretically as long as the Internet exists, she will not disappear, but God knows this confused "child" "Will there ever be a disconnection? In order to prevent Xiling from accidentally going offline and paralyzing the new network, Paopao will keep the old network. Anyway, these old connections do not occupy resources if they are not enabled. They are like some temporarily suspended listening ports that do not affect the system at all when no data is flowing.

Anyway, this is how Paopao explained it to me, so I’ll just pretend that I understand...

Speaking of which, the people of the empire have been bombarded with one big news after another recently: the complex of heaven and earth, the legacy of the empire. The traitors were wiped out, and Xiling, who didn't know whether to be considered racial consciousness or the imperial version of "Skynet", appeared. Even for a race like the Xiling Apostles who can think in a purely logical state, it is difficult to remain calm in the face of so many impactful events. Recently, I can often feel a high atmosphere from the spiritual network. This atmosphere It comes from every confident and exciting mind of the entire race, and it seems to have in turn affected the incarnation of the spiritual network: Xiling seems very energetic and seems to be quite happy every moment. We already have a rough idea of ​​the character of this Xiling. She is not as rigid as most Xiling apostles, but a smart guy. She is like a little girl who is exposed to the world outside her door for the first time. She is full of curiosity about everything and always wants to run around and see. She had little idea of ​​the work she was about to undertake, and even now she didn't know what the military regulations were. But at the same time, the soul of Xiling Apostle also took effect on her, and she was very obedient. Obey orders, if it's a mission. Then even if she doesn't understand it, she will be happy to complete it - in fact, for this child who is happy all the time, the work itself is also something to be happy about.

Therefore, although this immature guy still has many unsatisfactory aspects, Sandora is already relatively satisfied with the status quo. She said this: "A clumsy soldier is better than a soldier who disobeys orders - Sandora ?Kervi Eurasis."

...I'm basically used to that girl quoting her own famous sayings as a matter of course.

It's about ten o'clock in the morning now, and I just came back from Shadow City half an hour ago. In the past, in addition to making routine appearances to show that His Majesty the Emperor was still busy with state affairs, he also wanted to check on the situation of "Xiling". It seems that the other party is quite satisfied with her new residence and is also happy to have a new neighbor: she and Tavel live in the same dormitory area. But I think Xiling actually doesn't care about the environment where he lives. Her ontology is a spiritual network, that is to say, her ontology is as big as the entire empire, and the place where she really lives is also the entire empire: this is a girl carrying a house on her back like a snail, and the one she appears in front of us The image of the blond girl is actually just a terminal interface used by "Xiling" to communicate with the real world. Wherever this terminal interface is projected, it should make no difference to the entire network.

Now Xiling is working hard to study a lot of information left by Tavel and Sandora to understand the history of the empire and the sense of mission of Xiling's apostles - well, that's roughly it. These information compiled from a third-party perspective are very difficult to understand for Xiling, who is "a fan of authorities", because she is not used to understanding the imperial network from the perspective of a bystander. This difficulty is like using simple textual information to understand a Yuanmou. Man understands that the earth beneath his feet is actually like a ball. But if she doesn't do this, Xiling will see even less from her own perspective: the empire is a house, and she lives in the house. This is the only thing that Xi Ling has understood through his own understanding in the past many thousands of years...

So she still has to learn real-world knowledge through those obscure materials.

Fortunately, although "Xiling" doesn't know much, she is very patient. She is still immature, but she already has the resilience of the Xiling apostle who never stops. Just like every apostle has no concept of "failure", I hope Ling herself also firmly believed that she could always understand the messy knowledge. When I went to see her in Shadow City, the blond girl was gnashing her teeth on the information at hand, while a large data terminal circled around her. Those devices were installed in the room for her by Tavel in the morning, because Xiling's own bandwidth was simply amazing. The response speed of conventional data terminals cannot even keep up with the browsing speed of the latter, so Tavel can only use such a large number of devices to barely act as a "browser" for the other party.

This should only be regarded as an emergency plan. I always feel that if Xiling truly learns how to learn, she will not need those data terminals as external objects. She has the ability to download information directly from the Internet into her mind - it can even be said that the information is already in her mind. Now she just can't figure out how to use her power and wisdom. As long as she matures, we will get a "super consciousness" that can learn infinitely fast. Although Xiling may not have the ability to create new information, she is definitely the fastest database reading and writing program ever created.

Tavel was looking forward to this, an infinitely high-speed database reading and writing program that could simultaneously integrate all the knowledge of the new empire and provide accurate indexing, these two capabilities. It was destined that Xi Ling would be the treasure of the Imperial Scientific Research Center. I knew it by looking at the enthusiastic eyes of the coffin-controlling glasses girl. If I didn't care, sooner or later she would take a stamp and print a line on Xi Ling's forehead: For exclusive use of the research center. , don’t move if you are idle...

The report at hand was finally processed, and the morning's work came to an end. There are actually not many things to deal with today, except that Xiling's appearance has brought him some additional matters and observation reports. Only the daily reports of various legions and empire-controlled areas need to be reviewed. Even if the matters are left to professionals for professional reasons, I don’t have much involvement in many of them. I at least need to know how my territory is being run.

The fox was sitting at the small round table by the window, his face resting on his hands. Looking thoughtfully at the bright sunshine outside, a bunch of fluffy tails hung down from behind the backless square stool, swaying gently according to her mood, sweeping the floor clean. The demon fox girl may have heard some movement here. His ears suddenly stood up and he turned his head: "Are you done?"

I stretched. This fox came in a few minutes ago, and seemed to have trouble with her. But when she saw that I was handling official business, she just waited in front of the window: This guy is becoming more and more self-conscious. I smiled at her: "Well, it was just at the critical moment, now it's done. What do you want? Why didn't you go out to fight with the dog today?"

"Don't insult the dignity of a thousand-year-old demon fox. I'm just teaching those unruly juniors, okay!" The fluff on the fox's ears exploded, showing a very angry look, but her look... is annoying to me anyway. There was nothing to coerce her, so she sighed resignedly and soon became happy again. She took out a small thing from her skirt pocket and said, "Hey, now, Little Bubble made this and gave it to me yesterday. You My sister said this is a very popular gadget among humans, how do I use this?"

I was stunned when I saw it: the fox was holding a mobile phone in his hand.

"This feels so weird to use. I've seen humans use this thing, but it doesn't seem to be very easy to use." The demon fox girl muttered, while pressing the phone receiver to her fox ear, and the entire phone was placed above her head. "You have to speak very loudly so that the other party can hear you..."

Me: "...Are your human ears just for decoration?!"

The fox nodded: "It's a decoration. It's just to look like a human being. Only the ears on the top of the head can hear the sound... I tried the four-channel world when I transformed before, and I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand it. …”

The corner of my mouth twitched: "Go find Xiaopao Pao and I'll make you a pair of headphones..."

Then the fox was overjoyed and ran out happily. Watching that big ball of tails disappear before my eyes, I felt that this guy actually had a pretty good life now: she no longer had to take care of her troublesome fellow monsters, and she could just live her favorite life of eating and sleeping every day. After sleeping and eating, if you miss the days when you were a wild animal, there are places like Avalon and the Mother Continent where you can see primitive jungles everywhere. Apart from occasionally being used as pillows and cushions by the naughty children at home, it is a bit annoying. Apart from her distress, she should have nothing more to wish for in her life.

I also yearn for the time of eating and waiting to die. Unfortunately, this time ended four years ago... no, five years ago.

Yes, it's over: Just when I started to sigh at how easy the fox's life was, an external network communication came through the mental connection. I usually don't receive much external communication, which means that the caller is a force other than the Xiling Apostles, and generally few of these forces come to disturb the head of the empire. But when I got through, I understood what was going on: the communication came from the "Parliament", and she had already completed the pile of work that had been assigned to her.

The voice of the parliament must be transferred several times through the external network before it can enter the imperial communication system. Although there is no delay, it sounds a bit out of tune, which makes me even more eager to hope that the exiles... well, the Avengers' network can be quickly improved to achieve direct connection with the imperial communication system. The other party sounded in a good mood, and it seemed that the matter was completed smoothly: "His Majesty the Emperor of Xiling, all the brain array hosts you sent last time and those you sent after have been processed. Now we have Thousands of spiritual creatures, when will you come to check and accept them?"

"So fast?" I replied in surprise. It's not anything else, but the main reason is that the other party's work efficiency really exceeded my expectations: I thought she would have to be busy for at least half a month, but I didn't expect that it would be done in just a few days.

"Actually, as long as there is a breakthrough point, resurrecting one person and resurrecting a thousand are just the difference between individual production and mass production," the voice of the council sounded relaxed and confident. "In fact, the operation is much simpler than I expected. The rebels you mentioned... although it is inappropriate to say so, but thanks to their brainwashing and weakening of the new souls, the latter have lost their self-concept. , when we resurrected the soul aggregates in the human brain array host, the resistance we encountered was almost negligible. They were easily reborn with several core consciousnesses as the main body, and retained many ancient memories. Those who are weak The newer souls were also weak due to resistance. They did not die in the process. Originally, we thought there would be at least a 10% soul death rate, but now it seems that the death rate is only one-tenth of the expected, which can be said to be perfect. It worked out.”

"Very good, very good." I replied with satisfaction, "I will send someone over to pick up those spirits. This is a gift. I want to give them to a new friend."

"Are they those slave races?" The council knew what was going on. There seemed to be a smile in her voice, "You are a Xiling ruler that I admire very much. Really, you are different from your predecessors in my impression... Well, you can take 'em' away at any time. , and let me also say that regarding the issue of sending new students to the Imperial Military Academy, the Senate of the Avengers has finished voting."

"What's the result?" Although I felt like I already knew the outcome, I still asked casually.

"Passed by an overwhelming majority of votes, we will send the most talented young people to the empire for further training. They can be regarded as pioneers for normal exchanges between us former exiles and the empire. These young people come from every race in the Avengers, every The race has sent at least five people—as you promised, enough enrollment slots will be provided.”

What I promised at the beginning was to provide a "large number" of enrollment quotas, but I never said "enough". This seemed to be a situation where we would accept as many students as the other party sent. The council was playing a trick in front of me. little tricks. But this trick is harmless. The Imperial Military Academy is huge. Although it always has a sufficient student supply, it is not enough to absorb the extra students from a mere complex. At worst, I will open an affiliated academy next to it... ...Okay, this doesn't seem appropriate, so it would be good to expand the enrollment this year. Anyway, with the expansion of the empire's territory and the development of the macro world, this college will be expanded sooner or later. Didn't that kid Xiaoxue say that? Well, when she was born, the Imperial Military Academy had already moved out of Shadow City and had three stars.

"I have made arrangements here. I will give you the number of Mr. Kai from the Admissions Office later. It would be best if you set up an exchange student bureau or something like that. We will need long-term cooperation in this area in the future. Can we have one?" A normalized management organization is necessary." I quickly opened the data terminal on the table and called up the Imperial Military Academy's admissions process while telling the council, "By the way, I would like to inform you that students must now book in advance. Making winter school uniforms, of course, is free of charge, but I want you to provide the sizes of the students, how many arms they each have, whether they are arthropods, and if they are soft-bodied or spiritual creatures, they also need a body extension parameter. , their school uniforms need to be specially made. Give me these data in advance, so that I can let the school logistics rush this batch of summer enrollment and prepare them for you. In addition, if there are crustacean students, you can apply for body waxing subsidies in advance. , students don’t need to bring these things themselves. Last time, a Zerg student came to the capital world to study, but he didn’t know about it and brought more than 300 kilograms of organic wax. By the way, do you want to apply for a meal card? You can get it in the school cafeteria. Students have free meals with meal cards, but many students prefer to buy and eat at the door. They find it troublesome to use meal cards, so now it is voluntary to apply for a meal card..."

When I finished speaking, I realized that the council had been silent for a long time: "Then what...are you still listening?"

"...Um...I may need to set up the Exchange Student Administration Bureau first..."

After the council hung up the communication, I still felt strange, as if the other party had been stimulated in some way. The problem is that what I said is correct. I followed the admissions process completely. As the honorary chairman of the Imperial Military Academy, it is not easy for me to do something serious...

His eyes fell on the enrollment process table projected on the data terminal.

Imperial Military Academy freshman registration process:

New students from all walks of life must report the Shadow City temporary identification code before reporting. The person in charge is Lieutenant Cadilla Sinsoda of the Academy Registration Center.

Freshmen from all realms must order academic-style imperial uniforms to have discipline ingrained in their hearts. Depending on the race, freshmen must declare in advance the clothing material and structure requirements of their respective race.

New students from all walks of life can apply for material rationing crystal cards in the school district. Material rationing crystal cards and identification cards can be used interchangeably. The rationing crystal cards can also receive unlimited food. The crystal card can be applied for voluntarily. Students without crystal cards can still receive the rationed materials with the identification card, but they cannot receive unlimited supplies (see the student handbook for the list of materials).

Well, looking at this form, I feel that the introduction I just gave is quite accurate, but it is a bit more popular. In addition, for the sake of easier understanding, I translated the material rationing crystal card into a meal card... This is correct.

Forget it, don’t worry about it. I closed the registration process sheet, turned on the communicator of the information terminal, and connected to another channel that had just been established and could not be connected mentally: "This is the Xiling royal line, I'm looking for... By the way, you are now Who is in charge? Forget it, I’ll find Anulili..."
