Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 142 - 143 Aiding’s Social Experience

Chapter 142: Chapter 143 Aiding’s Social Experience

Theoretically, Earth Civilization’s productivity could have long ago brought wealth and prosperity to all of humanity, but the reality wasn’t quite so simple.

Earth Civilization was an extremely complex civilization, with a total population within the Solar System reaching up to one hundred billion, every individual harboring their own thoughts, each nation with its unique culture.

The expanse of the entire civilization had grown too vast, such that even the fastest spaceship took months to complete a round trip. Under these conditions, no ambitious organization or individual could unify the civilization anymore.

Though a semblance of peace had been achieved among planets under various agreements, how could the contradictions, conflicts, and the disintegration of ideologies be so easily resolved?

Earth…

On a bright and sunny morning.

After a term of adaptation, student Aiding had seamlessly integrated into this school for the common people.

A beautiful and adorable robotic teacher, standing one and a half meters tall, was giving them a Mathematics class.

“A parabola, due to its location in the coordinate system, has a different equation, and there are four different cases…”

Her voice was as clear as that of a nightingale. However, not many students were listening intently—many were just staring off into space, daydreaming, although no one dared to make a fuss during class.

The teaching level of the robotic teacher was actually quite good, but for some reason, even after many improvements, the results she produced still fell short of a human teacher’s.

There was a scientific test that showed when students were not informed their teacher was a robot, her teaching quality could rival that of the finest human teacher.

Once informed, both the quality of education and the final grades plummeted steeply.

In essence, it all came down to the psychological factors of humans themselves…

Nevertheless, Aiding didn’t hold such a lazy sentiment.

When he wanted to withdraw from the noble’s school, his father had thrown quite a tantrum.

“Aiding, I know you’re resolute and smart since young. But this decision really makes it hard for me. Studying in a noble’s school has many benefits, not just in teaching resources, but also in networking opportunities with classmates. Once missed, they are truly gone, and life doesn’t give you a second chance.”

“Father, I understand. The biggest advantage of the school is the networking, but… if I always live under your protection, I’ll be nothing but a vassal of yours, and what meaning would my life then have? I just want to experience a more authentic life and understand more about the world.”

It was hard to imagine that such words came from a teenager.

After roughly half an hour of conversation, his father agreed, sighing deeply: “Alright, you are right; being rich in spirit is indeed the most valuable treasure. Becoming a sociologist isn’t bad either—it’s your own choice.”

“…Student Aiding, please solve this problem,” the teacher called out, apparently noticing that Aiding was lost in thought.

He looked up to see a very basic parabola problem displayed on the blackboard.

Even without paying much attention, the naturally intelligent Aiding solved it with ease.

“From the problem, we can deduce that the axis of symmetry for the parabola is x = 2. │AB│=6, and by the symmetry of the parabola we know…”

“Well answered, please take a seat!” the robotic teacher beckoned him to sit, speaking with a meaningful tone, “Classmates, in one more week, we’ll have the high-stakes exams. If you don’t pass, there’ll be no university for you to attend…”

“So, in this last window of time, I hope everyone can review well. Who knows, you might just be able to increase your score by a few points?”

For some reason, Aiding always felt that the robotic teacher’s personality seemed gentler than that of human teachers.

“Is it because she’s too gentle and lacks authority?” he wondered.

Though they already had the authority to punish students, the school usually didn’t employ such measures to avoid complications.

Ding-ling-ling, the bell rang.

“Class dismissed.”

“Teacher—goodbye!”

The teacher never prolonged the class. Even though she would teach the next class as well, stepping outside the classroom allowed the students to relax better.

“Ah, finally, it’s time for the college entrance exams.”

“We’re getting liberated!” The classroom was noisy; everyone praised the end of their entire academic journey.

“That’s not necessarily true!” Aiding said slowly, “College is not a place to relax; if you really want to study, it might be even tougher…”

No one paid him any mind; many boys were fantasizing about their future.

“Why not just skip university?”

A few boys were even discussing things like blind date parties in private, where they could freely play interesting games for adults, and then they laughed among themselves in a strange manner.

A large hand clapped on his shoulder; it was a tall boy named Ma Zhuangzhuang: “Aiding, let’s use the plenty of time we have during the summer break to join that party too!”

Graduating high school was precisely the age when passions ran high.

Aiding rejected the suggestion with utter disdain: “That’s sleazy! Hooking up for no reason, what’s the difference between that and an animal? Going to that kind of party, you won’t find a decent girl. You’d be happy with just a patch of Qingqing grass on your head!”

Ma Zhuangzhuang chuckled: “Pff, repressed man… What’s wrong with a patch of Qingqing grass? I’m happy, and I wish it, after all, everyone is just playing around. Play for two days then break up, who said anything about having to get married? I plan to marry after I turn sixty…”

Aiding laughed and said, “By sixty, you’ll find it even harder to get a good girl, unless you’re really rich… With money, you can play all you like.”

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t have money, just the quality will be a bit lower! You act as if you’re so high and mighty; don’t let me catch you messing around then!” Ma Zhuangzhuang glanced around nervously, afraid that a female classmate would overhear their conversation.

“I won’t,” Aiding said indifferently, shrugging his shoulders and sitting back down at his own seat.

In fact, it would be wrong to say that the common people’s class is more open than the wealthy class.

Aiding had seen many rich folks, like his own older brother, changing women more frequently than clothes, sometimes several in one night…

Including all kinds of rich second generations, their private lives were in such chaos that it was despicable… Russian roulette, depth charges, communal fertilization betting on sons, as though these could sketch out the most base desires of human nature.

He himself had also tried such “games.”

But the emptiness after release, after experiencing it many times, he found it boring, not much different from an animal.

He couldn’t understand why his brother tirelessly tried such boring tricks.

But in the eyes of others, it was his brother who was the normal one, and him being odd.

Perhaps, humans are just robots controlled by genes, with only a very few able to break away from genetic control to pursue something they want, something more meaningful.

“Aiding, what are you daydreaming about? What kind of university do you want to attend? Or are you… thinking about girls?”

A very pretty girl sitting next to him suddenly asked. Her name was Xia Yueyue, Aiding’s deskmate. Whenever she looked at Aiding, there was always a tender smile on her face.

Because medical means have become more advanced, girls today were generally very beautiful, learning to take care of their skin at a very young age.

“Definitely Eastern University! What about you?” Aiding replied.
