Chapter 1, The Rubik's Cube
The distant solar system, the birthplace of humanity, Earth, benefits from interstellar migration as it allows for the improvement of the Earth's environment. Although it is no longer the most developed place in the Galactic Alliance, it still maintains a relatively high standard
The entire space station was in chaos, with warships flying out one after another, darting around like headless flies. They underestimated the madness of these scientists
A giant poster is affixed to the wall, featuring a dazzling mech that Wang Zheng dreams of piloting even once. Nearby, the notification of genetic data stands out particularly glaringly.
The surrounding scientists are all at least in their fifties or sixties, and they find themselves in a state of helplessness and amusement. After all, there has been no progress for over twenty years, and closure is only a matter of time. Twenty years ago, a little-known space physicist, Allen Tuck, published a paper on the theory of parallel space equivalence docking. At that time, this paper did not attract much attention. Although human technology has advanced significantly, parallel space remains as mysterious to humanity as the moon was to ancient people. However, a consortium supported Allen Tuck's research and organized an expedition team. The closest distance humanity could reach captured a mysterious cube in the Galileo star region near the galactic core.
"It's not a big deal; military academies are not the only option!" Wang Zheng chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking how unlikely it was that he was the only one who made a mistake. He remembered the first time he saw the Federation's mecha recruitment advertisement as a child; he was captivated by the majestic scene and set it as his goal. However, reality never gave him a chance to try. Yan Xiaosu also found it hard to believe that with a genetic count of twenty-eight, not to mention military academies, even signing up to be a volunteer soldier might not qualify him. This effectively crushed Wang Zheng's dreams, but there was no one who could help with this matter.
Speak up, do not pretend to be serious
Two youths are lying on the lawn by a beautiful artificial lake, each holding a can of beer, while the ground is cluttered with a pile of beer bottles. One of them has a sturdy build, a square face, large ears, and wears a sparkling limited edition rose gold galaxy chain around his neck, worth enough for an average family to live on for half a year. The other youth has an ordinary appearance, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth is unforgettable, evoking an indescribable feeling.
Allen calmly watched the soldiers' brutal actions, a faint smile playing on his lips. Science, especially great science, what does twenty years mean
The old man raised an eyebrow, exuding an imposing presence without anger, "I need to go to the restroom. What, do you expect me to grow wings and fly away?" The soldier was momentarily taken aback by the aura, lowering his arms. After all, this old man had been the most prominent figure in the Galactic Alliance twenty years ago.
"Doctor's degree, you cannot wander around!" A soldier stopped Allen Tuck.
The gene score is an assessment of genes, which aids in the selection of talent. A score above 80 is considered "elite" humans, who are expected to become outstanding individuals in various fields in the future. A score of 60 is the passing mark, and to enroll in core majors, one must achieve at least 70. Other majors also require a minimum of 60, which is referred to as the efficient use of federal resources. The core major of the War God Academy consists of three main components: gene assessment, theoretical evaluation, and interview. In the face of this bright first step, Wang Zheng dramatically fell short.
By the way, I have something to ask of you!" Yan Xiaosu sat up straight, her expression serious
To be frank, beauty is beauty; it is indeed pleasing to the eye. However, for some reason, I always feel indifferent towards girls like this, as Wang Zheng from *Illustrated Books* would say, akin to being sexually apathetic or underdeveloped. It is worth noting that Yan Xiaosu has already conducted thorough theoretical research and is just waiting for practical application. The two before me seem to treat the school road as a runway, thoroughly enjoying the envious gazes from those around them
Throughout human history, there has never been a shortage of great scientists who have changed the world. Newton's law of universal gravitation, Einstein's theory of relativity, Mark Hughes' antimatter propulsion system, Weinberg's God particle, and when Lorentz Lee's warp drive theory emerged, humanity took a significant step towards its dreams, officially entering the era of interstellar navigation, where exploration and interstellar colonization became humanity's primary desires
From now on, it can only exist in dreams. Wang Zheng tore down the poster that had hung for four years, staring blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly, he turned over and picked up the poster again, slowly sticking it back up. This has been his only goal since childhood; having lost it, what else can he do?
"Come on, let's go for it, and wish me luck in winning the heart of a beautiful woman!" Yan Xiaosu shouted, as the two of them drank wildly, finishing off the remaining beer.
Yan Xiaosu took out a fragrant, gilded letter from his pocket and said, "Boss, I have admired Yue Jing for a long time. As graduation approaches, I have decided to confess my feelings to her"
Looking at Wang Zheng's back, Yan Xiaosu shook his head. In fact, he had really rechecked Wang Zheng's test results, and there were indeed no issues. What a world this has become
The Alliance spent ten years without finding any trace of Allen Turing. Due to the rampant magnetic storms in the Galileo star region, the likelihood of small spacecraft being able to leave is extremely low. The Alliance thus decided to abandon further efforts, as this matter was inherently disreputable, and gradually everyone began to forget about it.
Wang Zheng walked directly towards the two individuals, and the two girls seemed accustomed to such situations, slowing their pace.
Student Yan did not return home at night, clearly engrossed in a fierce battle in "God of War Covenant," a highly popular mecha combat game. Wang Zheng had no idea how it had become so popular, nor did he have any interest in it. What he needed was not a virtual spiritual enjoyment, but a tangible sensation—the rumble of a mobile warrior treading on the earth. In that moment, he would surely feel like a god
Returning to the dormitory, Wang Zheng sat cross-legged and began to adjust his breathing rhythm. This was a "family heirloom skill," reputed to be a treasure of human civilization spanning a millennium. In case of unemployment, he could still rely on this ancestral craft to make a living. He had practiced this eight-section breathing method since childhood, and over time it had become a habit. While it did not serve many other purposes, it was quite effective in calming his emotions.
"Boss, all roads lead to Rome, and heroes come from humble beginnings. What does a military academy count for? Just say the word, and we will venture into the galaxy and dominate the world!" The slightly shorter and stocky youth leaped up, turning the beer can in his hand into a microphone, exuding a sense of commanding the world. Beside him, Wang Zheng raised his foot as if to kick, saying, "Dominate? Nonsense! I can handle this little setback on my own, no need for your consolation!"
Over the course of three hundred years, amidst wars and peace, followed by further conflicts, the Galactic Alliance was ultimately established, ushering humanity into a new order
Wang Zheng sat up and said, "Very good, I support you. Go ahead, if you are a man, you must sing 'Conquer'!"
Isn't it just a love letter? Wang Zheng doesn't mind at all; he knows that Yan Xiaosu is deliberately changing the subject
Galileo Space Science Research Station, this is an S-class research station of the Galactic Alliance, and it is currently the research station closest to the Heart of the Galaxy, aimed at studying the links between parallel space and the - map - book.
This news instantly caused a sensation throughout the Galactic Alliance, and Allen Tuko was hailed as the fifth individual destined to change the course of humanity, gaining fame across the entire Galactic Alliance. However, after twenty years of research, there has been no progress. The so-called magic cube, while incredibly sturdy, possesses no special attributes and has not yielded any reverse technology. Rumors abound, with some claiming that this is a mutually beneficial publicity stunt between Allen Tuko and a well-known commercial consortium. The research station will be closed, all data will be sealed, the scientists will be disbanded, and Allen Tuko will also face an investigation by the Alliance.

A group of little bunnies with uneven fur thinks they can catch me! Allen Tuck pressed the button... Ten seconds later, they entered curved flight
"Boss, it must be a problem with the machine. Why don't we test it again?" Yan Xiaosu said
Yue Jing and Ye Zisu, the unparalleled duo of Shuguang High School, one is the child of a regional council member, and the other comes from a family of billionaires. Although they are students, they frequently appear in the news, making them star-like figures in the eyes of ordinary students
A few minutes later, alarms sounded in the space station as a spacecraft flew out. The soldiers immediately sprang into action but were stopped by a group of scientists. They were also hesitant to act, as these individuals were all elites of the alliance, and any injury caused would be a responsibility they could not afford. This delay allowed the small spacecraft to sway and enter subspace.
Two girls approached from a distance. One was wearing a pale yellow camisole, adorned with exquisite diamond earrings and golden curls, exuding a glamorous princess-like aura. The girl beside her was also dressed in designer brands. Although Wang Zheng could not comprehend the labels, Yan Xiaosu was a connoisseur of luxury brands, and just the logos indicated their considerable value. The girls walked with their heads slightly held high, hand in hand, in the center of the road. Their long, straight legs moved with a light and elegant rhythm, radiating youthful vitality and dazzling everyone around. Although Wang Zheng could not understand, Yan Xiaosu was indeed a lover of high fashion, and just the logos suggested their significant worth. The girls walked with their heads slightly held high, hand in hand, in the center of the road. Their long, straight legs moved with a light and elegant rhythm, radiating youthful vitality and dazzling everyone around.
"Boss, you know that I have always been timid. I am asking you to help me deliver this. In a lifetime, there are two brothers, and I will entrust my latter half of life to you!" Yan Xiaosu tightly grasped Wang Zheng's hands, staring at him with her big, watery eyes, looking at him with the most innocent gaze. Wang Zheng quickly shook off her hands, saying, "Enough, don't disgust me. You always use this trick!"
"Doctor's degree, the parliament has rejected our funding request and intends to terminate the Rubik's Cube research program." Inside the research station, scientists were gathered around an old man with a white beard. Although he was quite aged, he was full of vigor, and his silver hair shone brightly. Upon hearing this, the old man immediately erupted in anger, saying, "These pigs only know money, money, money. Science is God, it is great and omnipotent; how can it be measured by money!"
Yan Xiaosu was also speechless; Wang Zheng actually scored only twenty-eight points. It has been many years since I heard of anyone scoring below forty points. This is comparable to animals.
Of course, there is still an important matter today. After the training, Wang Zheng headed directly towards the teaching building
The Asia-Pacific War God Military Academy is one of the three major military academies in the world, and it is also a cradle for elite commanders and pilots. However, not long ago, the two received the results of their genetic tests. Yan Xiaosu scored 68, while Wang Zheng scored 28
Shuguang Senior High School is also one of the key high schools in the Asia region. The campus in the early morning is very beautiful, filled with vitality and the breath of youth. Wang Zheng still follows his routine morning training. Going to bed early and rising early allows him to achieve maximum efficiency while gradually building confidence. Although it is no longer useful now, the habits formed over the years are still hard to change
