Today, more than 200 years later, Mo Yu's story has become a historical past and is recorded at the front end of the long river of history.
But the long river of history is still rolling forward.
Although the Sword of Dawn standing on the front line has been unsheathed several times, it has resolved critical moments on the front line many times.
But when it comes to Mo Yu, the new generation of human race members who have not yet set foot on the front line have more impressions from textbooks.
Through the description in the textbook, I learned that there was such a legendary figure in history. Through his own efforts, he opened up a new path of growth for the human race, and eventually became the Sword of the Dawn guarding the front line.
Time has not erased Mo Yu's contribution to the human race. He is forever engraved on the historical monument of the human race.
Every year, descendants of the human race will still stand in front of Mo Yu's statue in the Hall of Heroes to praise his contribution to the development of the human race.
But like other historical figures, time has diluted the glory of Mo Yu's era.
But when people look through history, Mo Yu is still the most shining star in his era.
And today, 200 years later, new challenges, new opportunities, new crises... a new turning point of the era has quietly arrived.
At this time, Star City, East District Library.
A boy with a handsome face, about 15 years old, was reading a history book.
The title of the book in the boy's hand is "The Wrong Node in Human Race's History", which tells the story of the setbacks and wrong detours encountered in the development of the human race.
The content of the book is relatively complex and very inappropriate for the boy's age.
The teenager's peers are basically studying the basics of cultivation in preparation for entering Daybreak or Star City Academy in the future. The historical knowledge they have learned is basically the content in textbooks.
But the young man was different. He was not interested in the content of cultivation at all.
At this time, there was a pile of other books stacked on the desk in front of the young man, but none of them were related to the content of cultivation.
Generally these are books on history, resource wars, etc.
Time passed quickly, but the young man was immersed in the ocean of knowledge. It was not until night fell over the earth that the young man closed the book.
At this time, an old man with white beard and hair came to the young man.
"teacher!"
Seeing the old man, the young man immediately stood up and spoke in a respectful tone.
The old man nodded and sat down in front of the young man, then smiled and asked:
"How did you learn?"
"Recently I have been looking at the wrong nodes in history. As the teacher said, I found that the human race has actually gone through many detours in the history of development. These detours were a waste of resources and manpower. Only efforts were made, but there was no gain."
"Then do you know why you went wrong?"
"Most of it comes from the unknown. There are bound to be mistakes in the exploration stage, but... some of the reasons may be related to the wrong direction."
Hearing these words, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the white-haired old man:
"You think it's the wrong direction?"
"Well, actually I think the teacher was intentionally guiding me to discover this when educating me over the years. In fact, I have indeed discovered the mistakes in Star City's system and direction."
After hearing these words, the old man nodded happily:
"As expected, you can see it, Ji He. I have to say that you are the most intelligent student among the students I have ever taught."
"Teacher, now that the source of the error has been discovered, how can we change the current situation in Star City?" the young man known as Ji He asked in confusion.
"With our ability, we can't change it."
"Why?" Ji He continued to ask.
"There is no reason. Even if the direction is wrong, it is the foundation of the human race. I have worked hard for it, but in the end I understand that we cannot change the human race, let alone the future. We can only be followers of the tide of the times, but we cannot
Change the direction of the rolling tide."
Looking at the regret in the old man's eyes, Ji He's eyes flickered, and he had a vague answer in his heart.
If there is any problem regarding the unshakable foundation of the human race.
Then the answer seems to be ready.
Throughout the history of the human race, there is only one person who can be called the foundation of the human race and can set the direction of the development of the human race.
At eight o'clock in the evening, wait for Ji He to walk out of the library.
At this time, a maglev vehicle waiting outside opened its door, and a beautiful young woman walked out. When the boy approached, she took a step forward with a smile, rubbed Ji He's head and said:
"Xiaohe, how did you study today? Are you confident about the next exam?"
Ji He nodded perfunctorily and then got into the car first.
When the beautiful young woman saw this, her expression was a little helpless, but she still followed her and got into the car.
She felt that she cared too little about her son, which made him very unsociable and even a bit eccentric.
There is no way around this.
Her job is as a combat teacher at Daybreak Academy, and her husband is the leader of the "Hunting Group" in the West Supply Zone of Star City.
Both of them are busy with work and only occasionally have time to go home. Usually, their son Ji He is basically taken care of by a nanny.
Perhaps because the house is filled with all kinds of books, my son has been interested in reading since he was a child, especially history-related knowledge.
I also recognized an old man who worked in the library as my teacher and loved to go to the library every day.
As for other subjects, my son lacks interest.
For a long time, she and her husband have hoped that their son could join the Hupo Academy in the future, but with his attitude towards training, this hope has become increasingly slim.
…
Early the next morning, Ji He was led by his mother to Star City Central Park.
Today is the anniversary of the closure of chess.
The park was overcrowded, and similar situations also occurred in other public areas of Star City.
A large number of people came to pay homage to the statue of the chess hero.
Following his mother through the crowd, Ji He's expression was cold and incompatible with the pious-looking crowd around him.
After a long queue, he and his mother came to the statue of Feng Qi.
I saw a sign next to the statue with a lot of text written on it. The main content was to ask the people of Star City who came to worship not to place tributes during worship, which would cause waste.
This is a rule set up by Feng Qi himself, and has remained since Feng Qi’s death.
When they came to the futon in front of the statue, the mother knelt down with Ji He. The mother gathered her hands, closed her eyes, and murmured softly, describing her firm belief in Feng Qi and hoping that Feng Qi could protect her husband who was fighting abroad.
, to protect your children from being admitted to Hupo Academy in the future, etc.
But Ji He did nothing, just looked up at the statue of Feng Qi.
After a long time, his vision blurred and he murmured softly:
"History has proven that you have made mistakes, but you are not entirely right."
"Xiaohe, what did you say?" The mother opened her eyes at this time and looked at Jihe in confusion and asked.
"nothing."
Faced with his mother's inquiry, Ji He immediately said it was nothing, and then imitated his mother and closed his eyes.
After the visit to the shrine, Ji He followed his mother back home.
After lunch, he locked himself in the study and read books.
When I turned to one of the pages of the book, there was a portrait of Feng Qi printed on it, with a waving dawn flag behind the portrait.
At this moment, Ji He's eyes flickered.
He understood why his mother, even his father, and even everyone around him admired Feng Qi.
History has proven that Fengqi has made an indelible contribution to the rise of the human race.
But now, this seems like political correctness.
If you don't worship Feng Qi, you will be classified as an alien.
But he understood that the development of the human race had reached a turning point in history.
After looking through history and familiarizing himself with history, he found that Feng Qi's character was not suitable for being a true leader of the human race at all.
Fengqi attaches too much importance to feelings, and sometimes gives up fighting for interests for the sake of feelings.
He acknowledged Fengqi's contribution to the development of the human race.
But he also felt that Feng Qi was a thing of the past after all, and the new era was no longer suitable for Feng Qi's thinking.
Humanity is facing a crisis from the new era.
Powerful enemies around Star City are watching eagerly.
In particular, the Sky-Splitting Clan that appeared after devouring the Nuclear Bone Clan's domain added to the pressure around the human race.
History has proven that what Feng Qi always wanted was a happy ending, but in his opinion, this idea was not suitable for this era.
When humanity faces new challenges, it must make choices.
The current situation creates the environment, and heroes create history. The two are interdependent and cannot exist without the other.
This era calls for new policies and guidelines.
This is also the view of his teacher.
Over the years of study, the teacher taught him how to think rationally about problems from a macro perspective, which has benefited him a lot and allowed him to see the essence of the problem more clearly.
Although his teacher worked in the library, he once served the Star City Supreme Council.
According to his teacher, ideological differences led him to conflict with mainstream thinking, and he ultimately had no choice but to quit.
His teacher once wanted to initiate reforms in Star City.
In the end, it fell on the road to reform and had to withdraw.
Ji He once understood the teacher's philosophy in detail and deeply agreed with the teacher's philosophy.
His parents wanted him to apply for the Hupo Academy, but what he wanted to apply for was the administration major at Dawn Academy.
Like his parents, he loves the city at his feet.
Because of this, he felt that he should take up the heavy responsibility, take over the teacher's unfinished vision, and try to change the shortcomings left by the old era.
He once discussed with his mother the idea of applying for the administrative management major.
However, his mother thought his idea was too naive and persuaded him to give up several times, hoping that he would continue to apply for the training major of Hupo Academy.
Thinking of this, Ji He's fists gradually clenched.
He felt that there must be people in Star City who had similar ideas to the teacher, and they all realized that Star City was at an important juncture in history and needed to undergo changes.
But they are as powerless as teachers to change the status quo.
Star City’s top executives are the direction-setters of the city.
And this group of Star City senior officials are all loyal followers of Feng Qi.
There is always someone who wants to break the balance, just as Feng Qi originally shouted:
"Someone has to stand up, why can't that person be me?!"
Ji He felt that he should stand up to change the current situation of Star City, lead Star City to abandon the shackles of old ideas, and use the thinking of the new era to deal with new challenges.
But he is just a 15-year-old child. Even if he has thoughts in his heart, he has no ability to change anything.
But it's not hopeless.
The administration major at Daybreak University will be his next goal.
There are many competitors on this road, but he is confident of finding a way and being promoted to the decision-making level of Star City.
As his thoughts surged, Ji He's eyes became firmer.
Three years later.
Ji He received the bad news about his father.
It was snowing heavily that day. Ji He knelt in front of his father's funeral hall, looking at his father's black and white photo. In front of the photo was the urn sent from the front line, and in his ears was his mother's uncontrollable crying.
The casualty rate on the front line is always high, and sudden accidents are even more common.
But his father did not die fighting to protect the rear, but died fighting for a group of insignificant resources.
The desire to change the current situation in Star City burned brightly in my heart, and it had never been so strong.
His eyes turned to the wall on the right. Hanging on it was the admission notice from Dawn Academy that he had received five days ago.
After staring for a long time, Ji He stood up and came to his mother's side. After kneeling down, he took two heavy pops and then left the mourning hall without looking back.
Tomorrow is the day when Dawn Academy starts school.
He must prepare in advance.
Thirty days later.
At the end of the military training, Ji He stood on the stage and delivered a speech on behalf of the freshmen with outstanding performance.
Looking down at the teachers and students in the audience, Ji He did not express his inner thoughts. He followed the usual routine of describing his praise for Feng Qi and his bright prospects for the future.
This is part of Jihe's plan.
His ideas are destined to be unacceptable to today's society, so he must learn to hide them. At least until he is able to implement reforms, he must be a firm follower of Fengqi's ideas.
At the end of the speech, listening to the endless applause, Ji He had a warm smile on his face and bowed humbly to the teachers and students in the audience.
Deep down in his heart, he knew that the plan officially started from this moment.
…
in the years to come.
Ji He started his disguised academic career.
Management, organization, coordination... The studies were heavy, but Ji He didn't dare to slack off.
He understands that he is just getting started and there is still a long way to go before achieving his goals.
During this period, in order to better disguise himself, he began to search for all relevant information about believers.
Faith is a stepping stone to promotion.
If he becomes a believer in Fengqi, he will gain a lot of recognition from the outside world.
But believers do not have certificates or certification from authoritative organizations.
This is a spontaneous behavior.
If you think you are, then you are.
It's just that disguise is destined to be disguise, and there is bound to be a possibility of flaws being revealed.
In order to behave more like a believer, he will show that he is turning on his natural abilities such as "mental concentration" when studying, in order to show the outside world that he has established a faith connection with Feng Qi.
But he never deliberately promoted this.
When asked by others, Ji He would modestly say that the faith connection he had established was still very weak, and the connection would often be disconnected.
Deep down in his heart, Ji He always believed that Feng Qi's faith was very necessary to exist.
History has proven the importance of the path of faith growth to humankind, and this is a future path full of possibilities.
But belief is one thing, and Feng Qi’s thoughts are another thing.
He felt that Feng Qi must be the god of faith for the human race, but should not be an ideological constraint on Star City's progress.
This is also one of the reasons why we want to change the current situation of Star City.
One year after enrolling, I entered Dawn Academy.
Ji He won the scholarship support of the "Fengqi Award" for his outstanding performance, and as a representative of his major, he went to Star City to visit and communicate.
The next year, Ji He took the initiative to apply to go to the front line.
In Ji He's eyes, this is a process of deepening his qualifications and paving the way for the future.
In the future, after graduation, they will start from the grassroots level in Star City.
But his target is Star City's highest decision-making level, which requires frontline qualifications.
As a member of Star City's decision-making team, every decision will have a profound impact on the future. Although each decision-maker has his or her own area of expertise, if you want to go further, you need more knowledge reserves.
The frontline is Star City's most important resource acquisition channel.
Going to the front line in person, he can learn the management of resources, the configuration of front line battle groups, and other knowledge there.
In addition to qualifications, this knowledge will also be the cornerstone for him to reach higher places.
half year later.
Ji He returns from the front line.
During his half-year career on the frontline, although he did not participate in frontline battles, he learned a lot of frontline-related knowledge from the frontline staff. For this reason, he compiled and recorded a notebook related to the frontline.
With clear future goals, he knows exactly what he needs.
If he wants to become the top decision-maker in Star City, he needs to understand all aspects of Star City.
Ji He regards this process as a filling and growing process.
He regards Star City as a huge framework, and every knowledge and experience is part of the filling content within the growth framework.
Now the gaps related to Frontline have been filled.
During his days on the front line, he had an in-depth understanding of matters related to the front line, especially the problems faced by the front line.
These are valuable basic experiences.
The process of learning is also filling in the content needed for the implementation of one's own reform dream.
The third year, the fourth year...
In the next two years, Ji He not only stayed at Dawn Academy to study, but also participated in grassroots management internships in Star City, discovering the big and small problems that existed in Star City through the grassroots perspective.
During the four years of study, he never stopped for a moment.
As a prominent figure in the school, Ji Heben had several opportunities to experience love.
Faced with confessions from his senior students, fellow students, and even junior students, he politely chose to refuse.
Deep down in his heart, he had never thought about love.
The teacher who once wanted to change Star City could no longer walk, so he chose to embark on the relay journey himself. Any thoughts that would make him flinch were obstacles in his eyes.
Love is beautiful, but it is scary precisely because of its beauty.
It will make people stop and even not want to continue the journey.
Ji He felt that rather than being cruel in the future, it would be better not to start.
It is this determination and outstanding performance in his academic career that have earned him great attention from the top leaders of the university and received many praises.
There is even news that the dean of Dawn Academy is willing to write a letter of recommendation for him.
These glorious rivers are regarded as the foundation on one's own growth path and a stepping stone to the ideal.
When the graduation moment arrived, Ji He gave a speech at the graduation party as a representative of his major.
On this day, Ji He, wearing a graduation gown, stood on the stage with thousands of eyes on him, calmly summarizing the setbacks he encountered in his four-year academic career and the process of changing himself.
In contrast, Ji He's speech was far more impressive than the graduating representatives of other majors.
When he finished talking about his outlook for the future, he looked at the Feng Qi statue in the distance under the spotlight, then he made a fist with his right hand and put it on his chest, and said firmly:
"I swear by the heroic spirit of Fengqi that I will always be loyal to my ideals and dedicate my life to the rise of the human race."
Warm applause rang in his ears, and looking down from the audience, Ji He had a bright smile on his face.
The breeze blew the top hat pendant swaying, and he knew that his journey to Dawn Academy had come to an end, but the road to his dream had just begun, and there were still many challenges waiting for him in the future.
