After completing the channel jump, the channel has basically stabilized, and it will take another day or so to reach Sundae where Saint-Pulton College is located.
To say that their trip was really troubled, they almost missed the time. Originally, they were going to the Golden Crane Star in the Yin (Third) Ring to attend a seminar, but they had to change their plans midway when they learned about Hillman's entrance training ceremony.
The central star sector has a vast area, and due to geographical problems, the waterways are complex, and it is not as free as the outer three star systems. The Moon Star where Saint-Pulton College is located is on the other side of the first ring away from the Golden Crane Star. It would take at least three jumps to reach it using conventional transportation.
Space jumps are inherently uncertain and depend on factors such as the pilot and the cosmic environment at the time. Only the military's full-time astronauts can guarantee the success rate of space jumps. Others depend more or less on luck.
Hillman misremembered the time for orientation training and missed the best opportunity to change course. Now he had to change his jump plan on the fly if he wanted to change course.
Fortunately, the fleet hired by the Hillman family was not vegetarian. They have the technology. Although this technology does not guarantee that Hillman will be able to register for the orientation training that is due in two days, it is 99% likely.
And if one of the jumps fails occasionally, they will most likely be late. There is nothing wrong with Jiang Hui and Clarence. They are still far away from enrolling in school. At worst, they will miss the seminar or not go.
But Hillman can't do it. According to the trend of Uncle Aaron calling repeatedly to urge him, I guess this guy will be punished severely if he really fails to catch up with the orientation training.
Although they condemned someone mercilessly, the two of them couldn't help complaining about this guy's lack of heart, but they really didn't want him to miss the important thing, so they were naturally anxious.
On his face, Hillman looked cynical and indifferent, and he looked eager to catch up. However, as the deadline approached, he himself became secretly anxious. He has been coming to the control room to inquire about the situation for two days in a row. Today, he simply set up a temporary seat and squatted here, as if waiting for the final verdict.
Don't think she doesn't know. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the migration was successful, this guy next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he is not as careless as he appears on the surface.
Jiang Hui and Clarence glanced at someone whose waist was loosened, and looked at each other without exposing him.
The three of them quietly watched the fleet members debugging the channel for a while. It was not until the shift changers came to drive them away that they reluctantly left the control room.
——————————————
In the old human era, all people lived on a flat land from birth until they grew up. Some knowledge learned from books will know that one is living on a sphere. But this planet is not even considered a mote of dust in the vast universe.
Even with the development of science and technology, humans have more new technologies for exploring the universe, and they can still detect the glimmer of light in a corner of the universe through a small number of images.
But no one knows what the world outside the planet is like outside the universe.
Jiang Hui thought that he had probably fulfilled a dream that tens of thousands of generations of humans could not imagine, and saw a wider and wonderful world beyond the stars.
The girl was in a trance looking at the billions of stars twinkling in the distance, and she didn't even notice someone calling her several times behind her.
“Ah Hui, why are you looking so fascinated?” Hillman asked curiously, putting down the paper in his hand, and moved his head towards Jiang Hui, intending to share an angle of sight with his friend.
"It's nothing." Jiang Hui said lightly, but his eyes were honestly fixed on the twinkling stars, which did not match what she confided at all. "Come back, you still have some information to fill out." Clarence's cold voice came from behind, making someone who was trying to forget about this shrink his neck.
Between having a heart-to-heart talk with a friend and not being scolded by another friend, Hillman finally chose the latter and reluctantly returned to the table to continue writing his admission information.
In fact, the two of them are not the kind of people who cross the line to explore other people's privacy.
The back of Jiang Hui standing in front of the starship window was so lonely. His whole body was as motionless as a petrified sculpture, as if even his breathing had disappeared.
The two of them instinctively rejected Jiang Hui's current state. There was always a feeling that the other person was floating far away, as if they were not in the same space - but the other person was clearly only a few steps away from them.
What is she thinking? Even Clarence, who was concentrating on reading the information, couldn't help but be a little distracted, and acquiesced in Hillman's behavior of approaching to talk, but in the end he still didn't ask anything.
The living room fell silent, and the three of them went about their own business, as if nothing had happened, until the person involved broke the situation.
"This is my first time coming to the central star area." I don't know when, but the person who had been standing in front of the window returned to the table.
When Jiang Hui suddenly replied, Hillman had already forgotten the episode and was struggling with the last part of the admission information. He was engrossed when he suddenly heard such a meaningless sentence, I woke up as soon as I climbed up.
"First time?" It was actually two people who spoke at the same time, both of them sounded a little surprised, but I don't know if the surprise was the same.
Jiang Hui nodded. Both the original Jiang Hui and her were setting foot in the central star area for the first time. Before that, she had only seen related pictures and images in the news.
"Why?" Hillman wanted to say something, but he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed it back.
He originally wanted to ask, why didn't Jiang Hui's parents bring her to the central star area? Ordinarily, given their rank, they don't often travel to the central star area, so they should have a lot of opportunities.
Although Jiang Hui's background is indeed ordinary, her parents are also very famous and talented young warriors.
Especially Jiang Hui's mother, who was recruited by major legions right after graduation. She entered the Eighth Legion at a shocking surprise and made a lot of contributions at a young age. If it weren't for her ordinary background and some bad luck, she would never have been at this level when she died in battle.
Most of the frontline soldiers have heavy responsibilities. Once they are involved in the war, it is difficult to rest. They have too little time to spend time with their children and their families. They really spend less time together and more time apart. Therefore, they are not even willing to miss the opportunity to return to the central star area to report on their work, make evaluations, or receive ordinary tasks.
Therefore, when some sergeants return to the central star area, they will choose to get together with their families and children for a short time on the way without affecting their official duties. This is also the approach of most frontline soldiers who cannot easily escape.
It is true that Jiang Hui said that she has never been to the central star area - not even once.
