Pei Zijing continued, "If it can't be stabilized, then the destination of each crossing will be different."
"In other words, you won't know where you'll be teleported to next time."
"For example, this time, you were particularly lucky to be directly teleported to the starfield orbit of Cangge Star."
"Some of our trainees weren't so lucky. They entered a Wormhole, but didn't know where they were going."
Xia Chujian's heart stirred, and she quickly asked, "Who? Who was so unlucky?"
Pei Zijing said, "A trainee named Jiang Yongbai. Are you familiar with him?"
"We detected the last location of his Warplane near that Wormhole, very close to your Warplane's position."
"So we speculate that, like you, he should have entered the Wormhole as well."
"But you see, you were lucky enough to come to Cangge Star and complete your training mission. But he... is completely missing."
Xia Chujian immediately laughed heartily.
She intended to just go along with it.
Anyway, because of the appearance of the Wormhole, all the inexplicable phenomena could be attributed to the Wormhole, so there was no need to worry about anyone knowing Jiang Yongbai's fate...
Besides, the videos they recorded at the time were completely unwatchable due to the influence of the Magnetic Field Storm.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi didn't even remember the incident.
It was better to just let Jiang Yongbai live in the Wormhole forever...
Pei Zijing's mouth twitched, and he said, "That trainee might come back in the future. And even if he's lost forever, you don't have to be so happy, right?"
Xia Chujian quickly suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Chief Instructor Pei is right, I shouldn't publicly express my happiness, I should be happy in secret."
"...Can't you show some sorrow? Everyone knows that his chances of survival are slim."
Xia Chujian shook her head: "No. I can't lie."
"Because this Jiang Yongbai was the one who tried to take my Warplane before departure."
"You see, if I hadn't resisted at the time, and allowed him to seize my Ghost-Class Starry Sky Fighter, then the one who would be lost forever this time might have been me!"
"So why do you think I should show sorrow for someone who brought it upon himself?"
"It's already generous of me not to say 'serves him right'."
When Xia Chujian said this, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi all looked at her in surprise.
They didn't know about this.
But Pei Zijing knew.
He just hadn't connected it.
He realized that his brain had been a little out of order since he woke up from his coma.
Now that Xia Chujian mentioned it, Pei Zijing sighed and said, "Forget it, it's already happened anyway, just assume he was teleported to another planet."
"He must have been teleported to another planet." Xia Chujian said calmly, "It's a Wormhole, not a Black Hole, right?"
Pei Zijing was even more helpless. He looked at Xia Chujian and said, "Don't you know? Unstable Wormholes not only can't determine the destination of the teleportation, but also have the possibility of collapsing into a Black Hole at any moment..."
Xia Chujian quickly covered her mouth: "...Oops! Sorry, I almost jinxed it!"
Pei Zijing: "..."
He really had a headache.
Without saying another word, he waved his hand and told everyone to go back to their dormitories to rest.
...
The first thing Pei Zijing did after leaving the conference room and returning to the Chief Instructor's office at the Flying Base was to announce the results of this training assessment to the entire base.
The previous talk about canceling the results was just an agreement reached between some people before he woke up, and it was not announced to the public.
The news that everyone knew was also rumors from the Instructors, so it was all "hearsay".
But this time, Pei Zijing used his Chief Instructor's veto power to directly reject those people's proposals and disagreed with canceling the results of this assessment.
Moreover, he used a base-wide announcement to confirm the results.
"Attention all base personnel, attention all base personnel."
"The results of this Starry Sky Fighter training assessment are in."
"Based on actual results and comprehensive consideration, four trainees successfully flew through the Asteroid Belt within the specified time during this training assessment."
"They are Xia Chujian, Sang Yadi, Mao Yonggui, and Chu Qingjuan. They each received a perfect score."
"Other trainees who withdrew from this training assessment will not be graded."
"The overall ranking of trainees across the entire base has been published on the base's intranet."
His approach was completely different from the method some people had discussed beforehand.
As a result, the Instructors were furious, eager to rush to his office and argue with him.
However, Chief Instructor Pei Zijing used his authority to confirm the matter, and any further protest would be considered "insubordination."
The base was still part of the military system, and if Pei Zijing pinned a "insubordination" label on them, their futures would be in jeopardy.
Unless they could bring Pei Zijing down.
But there were also a few Instructors who were overjoyed.
Such as Yu Fei, and Yang Ling.
They both hoped that the scores would be based on facts, and that the scores of all trainees should not be canceled just because the majority of trainees withdrew.
However, they were in the minority among the Instructors, and were often excluded from the decision-making circle.
Therefore, they could only dare to be angry but not dare to speak out before.
Now that Pei Zijing had "seen the error of his ways," they were all very happy, and strongly supported Pei Zijing's approach on the base's public channel.
[Yu Fei]: This is the fair, just, and reasonable approach! You can't just drag those who know how to solve the problem down to your level because you don't know how to solve it, and then use your rich experience as an idiot to defeat them, right?
[Yang Ling]: This is a truly responsible approach. Everyone made thorough preparations and entered the Asteroid Belt. Every Warplane that entered the Asteroid Belt faced the same dangers. Moreover, being able to avoid those dangers and successfully reach the destination in the Asteroid Belt is itself a remarkable victory!
[Mu Qianlang]: I agree with everyone's statements and also support Chief Instructor Pei's decision. The Asteroid Belt is like a battlefield, with only victors and losers, no neutrals. Accepting your failure allows you to seriously examine yourself and prepare for the next victory, rather than dragging the victors down in an attempt to cover up your own failure.
...
Xia Chujian counted the Instructors who came out to support Pei Zijing's decision and found that there were only a handful.
And this base was said to have more than a hundred Instructors.
Xia Chujian was very unhappy.
She couldn't understand it and habitually sent a message to Meng Guanghui's Quantum Optical Brain.
[Xia Chujian]: Chief, why do so many Instructors support canceling our scores? Do we have to vote to decide who the victor is on the battlefield? What kind of stupid battlefield would let them vote with their mouths instead of voting with bullets?
After waiting for half an hour, there was no response.
Xia Chujian then remembered that not only Meng Guanghui, but even Huo Yushen was no longer in the Beichen Empire.
So he probably didn't have Meng Guanghui's Quantum Optical Brain with him.
An hour later, a reply finally arrived.
[Meng Guanghui]: I am Kang Shanxing. Weren't your scores not canceled?
Pei Zijing had just issued an announcement confirming the scores at the base, and Kang Shanxing had already received the news.
He was quite surprised, but of course, after learning about Xia Chujian's process of persuading Pei Zijing, Kang Shanxing was no longer surprised.
Sure enough, this girl had the ability and luck to turn the impossible into the possible.
Anyone who confronted her could only pray for their own good fortune.
Xia Chujian was also quite surprised.
She didn't expect that Meng Guanghui's Quantum Optical Brain was now with Kang Shanxing.
Xia Chujian was silent for a while, intending to no longer pursue this issue, and continued to reply.
[Xia Chujian]: Colonel Kang, is my Chief Colonel Meng's Quantum Optical Brain with you now?
[Meng Guanghui]: Yes, just send messages directly to my Quantum Optical Brain, we are already friends. I always feel awkward using Little Meng's Quantum Optical Brain.
Xia Chujian: "..."
Sheesh, you're not as good as your superior, Marshal Huo! He uses his subordinate's Quantum Optical Brain to play two roles seamlessly...
Xia Chujian grumbled inwardly but followed instructions and sent the message to Kang Shanxing's number.
[Xia Chujian]: The results haven't been canceled yet, but out of over a hundred instructors in the entire base, all of them are officers!
[Xia Chujian]: Only four or five people actually support Chief Instructor Pei's decision. So many instructors...
[Xia Chujian]: They just want to avoid trouble. How can they train truly good students this way?
[Kang Shanxing]: ...Understandable. Only a few of the instructors at this base are truly outstanding. Most of them are either unable to continue fighting or don't want to go to the battlefield.
Xia Chujian understood instantly.
She replied immediately.
[Xia Chujian]: I see! I get it! I won't dwell on it anymore! Thank you, Chief!...
Xia Chujian returned to the dormitory and checked the time.
They left the Flying Base around ten o'clock on Thursday morning and arrived at Cangge Star in just twelve hours.
In other words, they arrived after ten o'clock on Thursday night, but due to identity verification and other reasons, they didn't leave the Interstellar Terminal until after twelve o'clock on Thursday night, arriving at the Quan Family Manor.
They only stayed at the Quan Family Manor for a day and a night.
On Saturday morning, Xia Chujian returned to her home in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star, with Huo Yushen and spent the day there.
Then, in the evening, she followed him back to Cangge Star to participate in the Military's search and rescue operation.
This search and rescue operation started at dawn on Sunday and ended at dawn on Monday, lasting a total of twenty-six hours.
However, due to the residual Mental Strength Spores of the Mother of Forrest on Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet, they were delayed for another twenty-plus hours.
After returning to Cangge Star, they spent another morning at Su Buyan's villa.
It's now a little after one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.
The fourth week of base life has begun.
Because everyone just returned from Cangge Star, the base didn't arrange any courses today, giving everyone time to rest.
Xia Chujian didn't go out either. She and her roommates did a thorough cleaning of the dormitory, and they also had clothes to wash.
The four of them chatted and laughed, and soon it was time for dinner.
They went to the Cafeteria as soon as possible, bought the most lavish dinner, and came back only when they were almost too full to walk.
After returning, they didn't want to move, so they casually went to the bathroom to wash up and then went to bed.
Although they had stayed in other people's homes on Cangge Star, it wasn't like being at home.
In the dormitory at the base, their hearts truly felt at peace.
Today is the last day of August, three updates!
The second update is at seven in the morning, an extra update for the 1500 Moon Tickets in July.
The third update is at one in the afternoon.
