Chapter 104 The Embryo of Extraordinary Education

The Spirit Lens is not an optical instrument; it's just called that. Its function is to convert spiritual energy into energy that humans are familiar with.

Apart from the strange products that appear deep in certain secret realms, most of the psionic technologies that humans can master are not born out of thin air. Many of them have evolved and developed slowly based on the technology tree of the old era. These various lenses are the bridges connecting the old and new eras, and are the 'conversion heads' between old and new technologies.

Of course, such a thing is not singular. Even if it is just a simple matter of letting a spiritual energy crystal release heat to make a spiritual energy kettle, then the kettle itself can also be called a spiritual energy lens.

The device that the Taimon Base manufactured this time is a very basic psionic-electric conversion lens, which is the result of decades of research by the survivors of Su Xun's previous life. The structure itself is not complicated, but it is enough to be called a revolutionary breakthrough in psionic technology.

Su Xun had reserved this technology for each base long ago, but it is not something that can be manufactured in advance. The most basic structure of this instrument is based on spiritual energy crystals. Without these crystals, the lens itself is meaningless.

Even Su Xun hadn't expected the research and development area to produce the finished product so quickly. However, now that the communication equipment was nearing completion, it was indeed time to go back and take a look.

Of course, he couldn't just leave whenever he wanted; he had to make proper arrangements for local affairs before he departed.

The base troops and a large number of superhumans brought with them all need to be properly arranged. Those who should be taken away should be taken away, and those who should be left behind should be left behind. The transfer of troops is also a troublesome matter. Fortunately, these trivial matters will be handled by the General Staff Department, so Su Xun does not need to be involved in every aspect.

He glanced around the command post briefly and found nothing he needed to worry about. But after thinking for a while, he found the person in charge and instructed, "The environment in Haiqu City is now relatively safe. We can mobilize the militia in the safe zone to mine spiritual energy crystals, fight fires, and prevent disasters, and gradually replace the soldiers who have experienced the battle."

"After this battle, these people can be considered veterans. We can select the soldiers who are qualified and skilled to be promoted to officers and placed in more critical positions."

"In addition, after these troops have rested and replenished, they can be sent to other regions as reinforcements, provided that local defense needs are met."

“I understand.” The person in charge nodded. “A lot of work is already underway, so please rest assured, Commander.”

Although the battle at Haiqu has subsided, the war is still ongoing. Veterans are the most valuable talent. The combat effectiveness of Su Xun's troops is guaranteed, mainly because the core of these people are the backbone reserved in the Taimeng base.

Of course, the local forces were far from the appalling state of the recruits during World War II; in fact, they could be considered excellent units. This was thanks to the strong basic education system in the civilized East. By randomly selecting a group of eligible young men from this country to form an army, they could already roam freely in many backward regions.

Moreover, the military training and mass mobilization held a month before the apocalypse played a significant role, and many of the things done during that month have now become extremely important.

Seeing that everything was in good order, Su Xun felt relieved and left it to them to handle.

Just then, Jiang Yi received another message and walked over to him, saying, "The conference room is ready."

Su Xun nodded and went with him to the school's conference room.

Here, the extraordinary individuals who have been studying here during this period are gathering—it's no longer just people with superpowers here; within a few days, a large number of extraordinary individuals have also sprung up among ordinary people.

There was a low murmur in the meeting room, making it somewhat noisy. As soon as Su Xun entered, someone asked, "Principal, are you leaving? Will this school continue to exist?" Su Xun raised his hand to signal them not to be impatient and said, "Of course it will continue to exist, and its scale will continue to expand. Some of you second-tier extraordinary beings have already begun teaching first-tier beings, and this work will continue."

"In addition, we will need to select some of you to go to the safe zone, either to join various schools or to open night schools, to teach ordinary people and students and help them step into the extraordinary realm more quickly."

"I will compile a set of teaching materials specifically for you in this regard."

Su Xun looked around at the extraordinary individuals present and solemnly said, "In the future, advancement to extraordinary status will become part of compulsory education. We must ensure that our future generations will be guaranteed to be at least first-level extraordinary individuals as soon as they graduate from school."

The extraordinary individuals below the stage exchanged glances, their eyes revealing surprise, but even more so, an anticipatory excitement. They had long guessed that this would happen. The person on the stage, who in fact possessed personal power and was the undisputed strongest among the human survivors, did not keep his knowledge to himself, but rather wanted to spread this knowledge to the entire society.

How could this not be exciting? They are about to participate in a cause that will change the world and the future of society!

A nation prospers when its education prospers, and a nation is strong when its education is strong. Survivors of the civilized era all know how important education is to society as a whole. Or, it can be said that education is constantly shaping the form of society.

Undoubtedly, this upcoming undertaking will bring about tremendous changes to human society as a whole. Due to the unique nature of extraordinary education, the "gun" and the "pen" will soon be combined into one.

Everyone can become extraordinary! Is this even possible?
It's still unknown, but they will try.

Looking at the spirited superhumans below the stage, Su Xun smiled. In his previous life, many superhumans actively shared their experiences, such as Lin Hai, who was transferred to the dam. He had traversed an extremely vast and dangerous area and gave his advancement experience to superhumans in several shelters free of charge. Su Xun had received his help when he entered the sixth rank.

However, human resources are sometimes limited. At that time, even the extraordinary individuals faced a precarious survival crisis and did not have the capacity to build such a basic education system. This resulted in many people like Zheng Yuan remaining ordinary even until their deaths. There are many reasons behind this, but a lack of guidance is an important one.

There are many issues to consider when establishing such a system. Advancing to the next level is not enough; it also requires tempering of will and resources—food containing spiritual energy or pure spiritual energy crystals.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, and now, at least they have taken the first step.

Su Xun stayed in the conference room and discussed with these people for the entire afternoon, not only exchanging details about the education plan, but also answering some practical questions they encountered in their cultivation.

He announced the disbandment in the evening.

"No need to make that face, it's not like I'm not coming back." Looking at the group of survivors who were reluctant to leave, Su Xun laughed and said, "If I have time, I will come back here to visit again. Also, some of you have advanced to the third or fourth tier, so you can join our psionic research institute in the base's research area."

"Of course, high-level superhumans from the research institute will continue to take up positions here, which will eventually create a positive cycle."

Su Xun smiled and waved his hand: "I hope to see you all in the research area soon."
