030 Prometheus Fire

On the night after returning from the Big Arctic Space Station, the Students' Political and Educational Department officially released the official list of ghost candidates for this issue, and Lin Youde was listed.

A description is also attached below the official list: "Once a candidate dies before graduation, the qualifications will be inherited by the student in the highest-rated support group at the academic level."

Lin Youde hurriedly asked Lin Xiangzhi: "What's going on with this explanation?"

Lin Xiangzhi was sitting on Lin Youde's bed holding Noah and eating potato chips. When he heard Lin Youde's question, he hurriedly replied: "Of course, this is a point of view when he was in the field. Once someone died, it is not normal for the person behind to take over the qualifications."

"But I see that there are obviously fewer ghost agents in third and fourth grade than in second grade. Is there a different number of candidates each year?"

"Same, it means that even those who can be substitutes die. Do you still have to ask such a simple matter? It's not that anyone can be the agent if he ranks first in scores. The Political and Education Department's explanation deliberately ignores this point in order to make the support team work hard to be the first."

"Oh, that's it, but even the substitutes died, how high is the death rate!"

"You have only entered school for a month and have a trip to the gate of hell. What do you think?" Lin Xiangzhi asked back.

Lin Youde thought it was right.

At this time, Noah asked: [Why do you all like to touch the ears on my head?]

【Because it is cute.】

Noah blinked, and a second later she seemed to give up and continue to pursue the problem, but instead reached into Lin Xiangzhi's snack bag.

"No more!" She turned her head and said to Lin Xiangzhi.

"Okay, I'll open a new one. By the way, your robot's artificial intelligence is really great. How about helping me do one?"

Lin Youde secretly sweated his sweat. Fortunately, there are many artificial intelligence simulations nowadays, and Noah seems to be just in the category of "doing really well", otherwise the trouble will be great.

[There is no big trouble, I only acted after seeing the situation.]

Lin Youde glanced at her skeptically.

While Lin Xiangzhi opened the new potato chip packaging, Lin Youde asked: "Sister Kaori, can't you reveal what the Prometheus Fire is for first?"

"No, I'm a principled person."

"Are you principled but not moral?"

"It's too much, I've been hurt by critical strikes!"

Lin Youde sighed.

"Okay, Sister Kaori, the communications industry of the chief instructor is here, and tomorrow's schedule has been obtained. You should go back. I'm eager to get out of the bed sheets and go to bed immediately."

"Hey, do you get out of the sheets with me?"

"Listen to people!"

Lin Xiangzhi laughed and finally moved Noah to the bed, then stuffed the remaining potato chips to Noah, and stood up by herself.

"Then let it be. I've had enough fun today, so I'll have a rest early." After that, Lin Xiangzhi actually left Lin Youde's room, which surprised Lin Youde.

But Lin Youde immediately stood up and rushed to the bed.

The fragrance of shower gel remains on the bed sheets. Lin Youde, a retro sprite that has been used for soap for thousands of years, will never emit such fragrance.

【You are very happy now.】

【What a big truth to tell!】

【This is the 30th time you used this sentence to me in similar situations. Does this sentence have any special meaning?】

[No, I'm asleep.] Lin Youde then turned off the lights in the room with his bracelet.

The next day, the ghost agents who passed the test gathered in the auditorium. There were only eight of them and Instructor Li in the large auditorium, and the width of the auditorium was highlighted with a strong comparison.

Lin Youde stood in the middle of the team, with De Niro on the right and Enleco on the left. De Niro was still complaining: "I actually have such a close score to you, it's a shame."

He said deliberately in a low voice, just to let Lin Youde hear it.

Lin Youde glanced at him and replied, "Who told you not to work hard?"

"People with lower scores than me are not qualified to say to me."

"I only have first-level psychic energy. If I have your psychic energy, I have been ranked first."

Instructor Li coughed and glared at the two of them, which made De Niro, who was about to continue talking back, shut up. Lin Youde also became tactfully silent.

"Congratulations to you all for passing the qualification test successfully. Your half foot has already reached the threshold of the ghost agent field. However, there are still four years of courses in the next. If I'm not scaring you, you may be able to stay in the subsequent courses and field internships at any time. It's still time to withdraw now."

After Instructor Li said that, he looked at everyone one by one from the front.

Of course no one will withdraw at this time. Whether it is Lin Xiangzhi, who is ranked first or Anna, who is at the rear of the crane, they all put their hands behind their backs in a standard cross-standing position, raising their heads high.

"Very good. Then now, I will reveal a huge secret to you. After knowing this secret, the shadow of the Secret Service will accompany you for the rest of your life. This secret is that super civilization exists."

Lin Youde's heart almost stopped, but immediately he realized that it was impossible to say Noah, otherwise he would not have announced it solemnly on such occasions. There were too many differences in the middle.

Instructor Li continued to say: "The propaganda strategy of the Galaxy Parliament is very successful. They deliberately cultivated various rumors about supercivilization, and finally succeeded in making everyone think that supercivilization is just an urban legend. Although everyone is very keen to discuss topics related to supercivilization, when it comes to the question of whether supercivilization exists or not, most people will subconsciously deny the existence of supercivilization. This is the success of the propaganda strategy formulated by the eighth-ranked Juka people in the Galaxy Parliament. But the fact is, supercivilization exists."

Lin Youde used Noah to observe everyone's reactions. Lin Deguang and Lin Xiangori were certainly not surprised at all. De Niro seemed to have heard of it, so he was not surprised at all. Enleco had an expression of "Oh, Hoho, indeed". In short, just looking at the performance of the eight people in the auditorium, the Joka people's strategy was simply a failure.

But Lin Youde couldn't help but think of his own performance when he first met Noah - well, the Jokans' strategy may have been successful, but the group of people around him are exceptional.

Instructor Li continued: "Of course, a few people at the top of the pyramid know this. However, the 99 races later have no control over super-civilized relics or relics that can indeed prove the existence of super-civilized things, so they are more skeptical. We humans are lucky to control a super-civilized relics, which is stored in this space station. This is also the main target of the enemy's attack on this space station last month."

The Fire of Prometheus - Lin Youde recited this name silently in his heart.

"The function of this relic is to produce nanomechanics that we call 'fire'. Fire has special requirements for the body of the host, but you are all carefully selected suitable ones. After injecting the fire, you may feel uncomfortable for a short time, and your brain is not adapted to the fire, which causes the psychic energy to decline. However, after you survive all this, you will gain the possibility of improving the psychic energy through training."

So that's it. Lin Youde smacked his lips. No wonder that thing is called Prometheus Fire. Its function is indeed related to the sky fire.

At this time, Enleko, who was beside Lin Youde, raised his hand and asked loudly: "Chief Instructor, do you mean that our human nanomechanics are actually gifts from super civilization?"

"No, we found the Prometheus Fire, which we only found 38 years after winning the arbitration war with the Pigs. This is the last straw that crushed the Pigs' determination to fight back, but before that, all our achievements belong to us. In fact, the Prometheus Fire did not give us more help than to provide us with super warriors and agents, and we have not yet gained nothing in our research on it. Therefore, we can continue to be proud of the achievements of humanity and do not need to underestimate ourselves just because we know the existence of the Heavenly Fire."

After saying that, Instructor Li made a gesture - Lin Youde found that ghost agents seemed to like to make gestures and orders. They could clearly direct people through electronic communication without using gestures. This is probably a problem learned from Instructor Li.

Several senior brothers and sisters from the graduation class escorted a small box in front of everyone, opened it, and there were eight full syringes inside.

Instructor Li picked up one of them and said to everyone: "The survival period of each fire is one year. Due to some principle that we have not yet analyzed, the fire will gradually lose its activity after a year and be excreted by the human body bit by bit through metabolism. At that time, you will become an "ancient man" without any psychic energy. You must inject the conventional nanomechanics of humans again to return to the ranks of modern people, but the psychic energy may be reset to level one. Therefore, you must inject new fire every year. It is this characteristic that has reliable guaranteed the loyalty of the ghost agents."

Lin Youde couldn't help but smack his lips, thinking that it was no wonder that Pang Dongming, who was going to rebel, would come to grab the fire of Prometheus - Lin Youde didn't know that Pang Dongming was colluding with the pigs.

"Okay," Instructor Li took a deep breath, "I have said enough. Let's start the actual part now."

After saying that, he handed the tube of fire in his hand to Lin Xiangori, who was ranked first.

Lin Xiangzhi stabbed the syringe into his chest without saying a word.

Then she knelt on the ground, curled up her waist, looking in pain.

"This is a normal reaction," Instructor Li explained while taking care of Lin Xiangzhi, "The nanomechanics in your body will resist the fire. In the first few decades of using the fire, many people will die in this level, but now the safety of this link is fully guaranteed. No one will die, but it will be as uncomfortable as if they are about to die."

Damn, Lin Youde thought, it would be better to die.
