Chapter Five Encyclopedia
From the second half of the second year onwards, although the teachers' questions became increasingly abstruse and difficult to understand, they never again stumped Zhang Hang.
For the nickname "Clumsy Bird", Zhang Hang has been annoyed for a long time.
Finally, under his careful planning and clever agitation, the chemistry teacher on the spot uttered a boastful remark: "If you can answer this question, I'll take away your 'dummy' title and replace it with 'encyclopedia'!"
That night, when Zhang Hang was celebrating his "graduation" in the school cafeteria, that poor chemistry teacher was still being treated as a "student" by other teachers.
"Please think twice before acting!"
"That guy is more cunning than a monkey and harder to deal with than a ghost, and you still dare to boast?"
"Have you forgotten the lesson from your first time? He just needs a few words to get you into trouble, how can he be a thrifty lamp?"
I already know all this, what's the point of saying it now? The chemistry teacher had a helpless expression and thought to herself.
Finally, as the sky had darkened, the teachers shook their heads one by one and left successively.
The long day finally passed, the deafening noise by my ear also ended. The chemistry teacher let out a sigh, reached up to dig out the old wax from his ears, wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and went to bed to rest.
From the second day on, all teachers in the school worked hard to take away Zhang Hang's title of "Encyclopedia", and by the time the fourth year military teacher came to take over, they were still entrusted with completing their unfinished "career".
"What is this? Can any of you classmates tell me?" Then, after careful preparation, a military teacher wrote a combination of an English letter and an Arabic numeral on the blackboard: c4.
"It's so sudden and confusing, how are we supposed to respond?" Someone below started crying.
I only know f4, I don't know what this c4 is!
"Zhang Hang, you tell me, what is this C4?"
"It is a highly efficient and explosive explosive. It can be crushed into powder, packed in various materials such as rubber, made into any shape, and attached with adhesive on the outside, which can be installed almost anywhere, and can also be quickly pasted in hidden places, making it very convenient to carry and use, so it is also jokingly called "chewing gum explosive". Although its volume is not large, due to being made from high-performance explosives such as Texp and white phosphorus, it has a shocking killing power, and can also evade X-ray security checks and the sense of smell of ordinary police dogs." Zhang Hang was calm and composed.
"Not bad!"; The teacher nodded his head, and it seemed that the title of "encyclopedia" was not undeserved. Let's try another one with a higher difficulty: "What is this?"
This time, what appeared on the blackboard was still a confusing English letter: h------s.
"Isn't that wrong? It should be the beautiful girl group S.H.E.! They are powerful and idol-like singers with countless fans!" A female student's voice rang out in the classroom.
"It's not! This is the latest anesthetic developed in France, and its efficacy is astonishing! It's said that just one milliliter of pure anesthetic can knock out a one-ton bull in thirty seconds!"
"Wow! Is it really that exaggerated?" The students below couldn't help but exclaim.
"What Zhang Hang said is correct, if you inject near the bull's heart, it won't take thirty seconds, twenty-five seconds will do!" The teacher affirmed.
What are the characteristics of the MK40 'Predator' short-range anti-tank launcher? Before Zhang Hang could sit down, questions came one after another.
"Small in volume, light in weight, compact in structure, easy to carry by a single soldier, and also has low smoke, low recoil, low noise soft launch capability, can effectively strike tanks, fortifications, buildings, vehicles and other targets within 750 meters."
Zhang Hang answered fluently.
"Great! So can you tell everyone the best equipment for jungle warfare?"; The teacher stared at Zhang Hang fiercely, knowing that the first three questions were carefully prepared by him yesterday, covering different fields of weapon performance, especially the latest French-made "H-S" anesthetic, he knew them all. Now he was forced to come up with a desperate move - this question had not been analyzed and discussed in class yet.
I hope you won't disappoint me! The teacher smiled slyly, staring at Zhang Hang with ill intentions, clearly wanting to see him make a fool of himself.
Zhang Hang did not disappoint him: "Bulletproof helmets, bulletproof vests, paratrooper first-aid kits, specially made wrist compasses, jungle knives, jungle carbines with scopes, light machine guns... Of course, the above equipment is best to be genuine American goods, it's undeniable that they have many things that are indeed leading the world!"
"Why must you wear a specially-made wrist compass?" The teacher pressed on step by step.
"Tropical jungle with many venomous snakes, beasts and mosquitoes. Wristband compass is not easy to lose. Tropical jungle weather is changeable, heavy rain one minute, sunshine the next. Special wristband compass can effectively prevent water, non-reflective surface won't expose snipers, greatly increasing safety." Zhang Hang responded calmly.
"Analyze the reasons for Iraq's defeat in the Gulf War!" The teacher changed to another topic, and he didn't expect to stump him either.
January 17, 1991 Gulf War officially began.
In fact, the electronic warfare that is invisible to the naked eye had already begun before the formal outbreak of "Desert Storm", including electronic reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, electronic interference and counter-interference, electronic destruction and counter-destruction.
The United States has not only deployed more than a dozen military satellites, including the KH-11, KH-12 "Ikon", and Lacrosse/Onyx satellite series, as well as communications intelligence satellites codenamed "Big Bird" and "Vortex", to closely monitor the Iraqi battlefield. It also deployed EA-6B, EP-3E Aries II, and RC-135 electronic warfare aircraft equipped with electronic and infrared jamming devices, as well as 8 Electronic Warfare Intelligence Battalions and 5-7 Electronic Warfare Intelligence Companies, which are equipped with radar emission location systems, radar reconnaissance receiving systems, communication reconnaissance direction-finding systems, and communication jamming systems.
Under the overall coordination of E-3A "Sentry" AWACS and E-2C "Hawkeye" AEW aircraft, all combat troops established a full-channel communication network equipped with satellite terminals. A large number of precision-guided weapons were deployed, including Iraqi "Al Hussein" missiles, "Ababil" missiles, and US "Tomahawk" cruise missiles.
Tomahawk cruise missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Patriot surface-to-air missiles.
Due to the loss of air superiority and electromagnetic dominance, a multinational force led by the United States deployed advanced aircraft including the F-117A "Nighthawk", B-52 strategic bombers skilled in carpet bombing, F-15E "Strike Eagle" fighters with combat effectiveness several times that of the MiG-23, A-10 "Tank Killer" attack planes, and F-16 Fighting Falcons capable of flying at twice the speed of sound. Additionally, French Mirage 2000 supersonic fighters, British Tornado fighter-bombers, and Anglo-French Jaguar fighter-bombers were also deployed. With 2,000 to 3,000 sorties per day, they conducted high-intensity daylight and nighttime bombing raids against Iraqi command and communication systems, nuclear and biological weapons systems, airfields, radar networks, key targets, and heavy troop concentrations and logistics supply lines. Ultimately, this forced Iraq to surrender on February 28th.
Zhang Hang spoke eloquently and at length.
"We'll see about that!"; the teacher thought to herself.
Not bad, have a seat! Let's continue our lesson below.
They didn't know that Zhang Hang had been a military enthusiast since he was young, with a deep family background and an extraordinary memory. With his early preparation, until the end of the fourth year, Zhang Hang still used the title of Encyclopedia.
The establishment of Zhang Hang's Encyclopedia title is indeed not the credit of one chemistry teacher, but also a classmate who is now called Wang Zhiqiang.
In the third year of school, there was a classmate who claimed to be a junior named Wang Zhiqiang, who paid too much attention to the school flower Ouyang Qiushui, even to the point of being meticulous. My classmate Zhang Hang made a beautiful heroic rescue, and only then did he truly establish his reputation as an encyclopedia.
They made a bet: each would give the other an exam paper to complete, and whoever scored higher within the same time limit would win.
Considering Wang Zhiqiang's "performance", all the male students in the school unanimously supported Zhang Hang to win. As a result, Zhang Hang did not disappoint everyone and got full marks.
Wang Zhiqiang's classmates got 30 points for low-difficulty questions such as "What's the menu in the cafeteria on Wednesday", but the rest were all blank.
Half an hour after extra time, it was still a blank sheet.
It is said that later several teachers took the test papers to the school library and were busy for almost a whole night before filling in all the blanks.
What a perverted guy!
After the game, Wang Zhiqiang not only kept his promise to keep a normal distance from Ouyang Qiushi, but also sincerely admired and respected Zhang Hang as an elder brother.
At the end of the fourth year, Zhang Hang had a double happiness
One delight is that the assessment went smoothly and I became one of the 300 students who stayed.
Er Xi finally won Ouyang Qiuxia's heart after being scolded as a "foolish bird" and making unremitting efforts.
Their romance began in the school library, catalyzed by Wang Zhiqiang's classmates, under the pretext of mutual learning and exchange, they openly practiced and secretly crossed Chen Cang, finally making a mountain oath.
The school originally prohibited puppy love, but the school authorities were helpless due to lack of evidence, otherwise they would have beaten the loving couple long ago.
Although Zhang Hang escaped punishment from the school authorities, he could not escape the gaze of all the students in the school, especially his male classmates.
It is often said that the eyes of the masses are bright, and if you want to keep something from being known, don't do it yourself. The subtle clues they unintentionally reveal in their daily lives have already given them away.
From then on, the public enemy of all teachers and students played his super adaptability and disguise ability to the fullest, and finally arrived safely at the other side of victory.
Restricted by the public's keen eyes and strict school rules, they still maintain a noble and pure spiritual romance - holding hands is their most intimate contact.
Although Zhang Hang was being extremely cautious, under the sugar-coated cannonballs of all his schoolmates, he still managed to sneak a copy of "The Plea" into the school cafeteria.
The full text of the proposal signed by all students representing the school's encyclopedia is as follows:
The Book of Odes
The uncles and aunts in the cafeteria:
For four years, under your careful care, we have grown and thrived. As we are about to part ways, in order for the next generation of students to continue growing and thriving, we propose the following:
Uncle who stir-fries dishes, from now on, please never stand directly above the stove and swing your hands wildly to put this special seasoning into our dishes.
2. Strongly protest against your temporary use of the cafeteria's iron shovel to replace the spatula when you can't find it for stir-frying, and please do not mix cold dishes with your unsterilized hands directly.
Uncle who serves the dishes, please achieve true gender equality: stop putting just a little in boys' bowls but piling high in girls', especially beauties'.
4. Please don't put small stones or iron wires in the dishes to test our teeth's hardness.
Please replace the hair-like strips in dishes named with "meat strips", such as green pepper meat strips and bean sprouts meat strips, with genuine meat strips.
When cooking rice, please add more water. Hard rice increases the difficulty of chewing and destroys facial aesthetics, affecting school appearance.
7. Please do not add flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches and other meat dishes to various soups to increase our nutrition;
8. It is strictly forbidden to grab food with your hands when you can't find a serving spoon.
9. Auntie who cleans, please don't sweep the floor while we are still eating and sprinkle water to make the dust dance in the air.
Finally, thank you very much for letting us develop hard teeth, amazing endurance and strong willpower.
All students of Shenyang Military Academy

The next day, Zhang Hang not only failed to buy food, but also made the cafeteria staff who were holding a signboard chase him desperately.
Zhang Hang finally managed to drag himself back to his dormitory after exhausting all the cafeteria staff, and he didn't dare open the door for a whole day, so his roommate had to temporarily stay elsewhere.
On the third day, in order to prevent the situation from escalating further, the school leaders stepped forward to mediate.
On the fourth day, Zhang Hang made a profound inspection and apology, and the incident was finally settled.
Under the stimulation of this event, the strong sense of separation and sadness in school also faded a lot.
Alas! Just consider it a good deed. Zhang Hang comforted himself after realizing he had been used as a gun.
