Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 223 Ominous Omen

Meanwhile, in a classroom at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Wearing a trench coat, Luo Congmin stood on the podium as usual, giving her weekly lecture. This habit began when she became the Minister of Education. Every week, she would randomly select one or two universities to give lectures on random topics.

In her own words, the younger generation of college students are more energetic and more receptive to new things.

She herself is already over three hundred years old and has long lost the ability to learn new things like she used to. So, she often comes to teach, which in turn helps to broaden her own thinking.

Of course, all of this is nonsense. The real reason is that she's just giving herself an excuse to take a weekend off.

After all, she was even worse off than the average worker. At least the average worker could rest once a week, but President Luo was extremely busy and dared not rest at all.

So, while Luo Congmin appeared to be teaching, she was actually taking a break for herself. Most of the officials in the local government knew about this habit of hers, so on the day she taught on the weekend, almost no one would bother her.

"Since the 25th year of the Deterrence Era, the impact of the first batch of new college entrance examination reforms has been radiating to all sectors of society. Talent reserves have shifted from a diversified system to a unit-based system, and the academic field has gradually transformed from a mixed and superficial approach to one that strives for excellence. This reform policy has enabled the maximum utilization of existing human resources..."

As Luo Congmin finished reading, he suddenly paused, and all the students in the audience looked up at the president who had served the longest in human history.

After a long silence, Luo Congmin finally spoke again.

"Come on, students, there's a sentence missing here in the book. Take notes."

"While the new college entrance examination reform has saved existing social resources, it has also hindered the development of interdisciplinary studies, making the phenomenon of 'different fields are like different worlds' even more serious. Therefore, the new college entrance examination reform is merely a short-sighted measure for human civilization at that time, rather than the optimal solution."

Upon hearing Luo Congmin's words, all the students in the audience who were taking notes suddenly trembled.

"Goodness, only you would dare to say something like that. If anyone else said that, they would probably be beaten to death by the academic and educational circles."

Anyone who has studied the modern history of the United Nations knows that the new college entrance examination reform was orchestrated by the current president. Although everyone knows that her new college entrance examination reform had many drawbacks from today's perspective, no one dared to criticize or point them out in the textbooks.

After all, this kind of thing was a special policy implemented because of the special circumstances at the time. It was a special case, so there's nothing wrong with it.

But if you only criticize the policy, some students may not understand and may think that you are criticizing Luo Congmin as a person. Anyway, they can say whatever they want, whether it is good or bad.

However, Luo Congmin is still the president of the Earth Alliance. If you dare to say no, it would be somewhat offensive to her. So, in order to avoid suspicion, everyone only talks about the advantages of this policy and not the disadvantages. Over time, no one brought it up anymore.

Now that Luo Congmin has proactively pointed out the drawbacks of this policy, he is essentially telling everyone that policies are policies, and people are people. If a policy is not conducive to long-term development, it should still be criticized.

Having lived for nearly three hundred years, Luo Congmin had long since come to terms with many things.

Just as she was about to move on to the next point, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A woman who looked very capable was standing outside the door, panting heavily.

It's clear she had jogged all the way here.

"Liu Qing, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

When Luo Congmin on the stage saw the person outside the door, his heart skipped a beat, and he instantly lost all interest in lecturing.

The woman's name is Liu Qing. She is an assistant secretary who was promoted from the local government in the last two years. Now she is mainly responsible for relieving some of the pressure of Luo Congmin's daily work as president.

Therefore, Liu Qing usually pays attention to her image and rarely loses her composure like this.

Judging from the other party's current state, Luo Congmin guessed that something terrible must have happened.

"President... here's the latest intelligence from the RimWorld."

As Liu Qing spoke, she reached out and waved a document in her hand.

In the era of brain-computer interfaces, paper documents are rarely seen anymore. After all, with current network technology, paper documents can be completely replaced long ago.

Only a few things require paper copies for binding—for example, things that suggest humanity is about to face some kind of annihilation.

Materials of this level of confidentiality will never be allowed into the brain network; they must be delivered in paper form to ensure absolute security.

In short, at this moment, Luo Congmin felt an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, when she took the documents from the other party, her pupils contracted sharply after just one glance!

"The Trisolarans launched a devastating attack on RimWorld two hours ago!"
