Chapter 562: Cadet Soldier's First Graduation Defense
At night, the military academy's library and study rooms are brightly lit.
Although the lights have been turned off, there are still many people busy reading under the lamp.
These are all cadets who are about to take part in graduation defense. They are busy revising their papers and research results.
That’s right, in order to graduate, military academy students not only need to pass various academic assessments, but also need to submit papers and have certain research results.
Because we need to work overtime to study and revise our papers, the management on campus will be relatively relaxed during this period.
It was past one in the morning when Zhao Pengfei and others hurriedly prepared all the defense materials.
Four people, feeling hopeless, walked across the empty campus, heading towards the dormitory building.
As soon as they got downstairs, Assistant Instructor Zheng, who was on duty at post 0-2, smiled at them.
"You're busy so late?"
"Um..."
Zhao Pengfei and the others nodded like puppets, their faces full of despair.
These days they are so worried about writing papers and making PPTs that their hair is almost falling out.
They would rather run dozens of kilometers in the wild fully armed and use up ten bases of ammunition.
I also don’t want to sit in front of the computer and type on the keyboard. It’s too painful.
Fortunately, everyone's papers have been revised and tomorrow is the day for the defense.
As long as I can get through tomorrow, everything will be over.
Of course, the prerequisite is to pass the defense assessment in order to graduate successfully.
Seeing how hopeless these people looked, Zheng Hui smiled.
I said I wished them good luck in their graduation defense tomorrow and let them in.
In fact, such scenes happen every year during graduation season.
Just like many students like to catch up on their holiday homework on the last day of summer vacation.
Zhao Pengfei and his men were like an eagle catching chickens, each pulling the other's belt and walking upstairs.
Anyway, there is no one around at night, the discipline is a little relaxed, and no one says anything.
"It's painful, so painful!" Fan Dalei buried his head behind Li Jiasheng's buttocks and sighed, "Asking me to write a paper is like pointing a gun at my head and making me shit in public!"
"What should I do if I fail the defense tomorrow?" Fang Min was at the end of the team, frowning.
"Can't pass?" Li Jiasheng took over the conversation: "If it doesn't pass, you have to revise the paper and prepare for a second defense."
"What if you still can't get through it?"
"If I can't pass it again, I'll have to postpone my graduation..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three people, including Li Jiasheng, sighed together as if they had agreed on it.
Zhao Pengfei was like an old ox, dragging the three guys behind him with difficulty.
"You haven't even defended your thesis yet, and you're already saying discouraging things?"
"Haven't we already asked a faculty member in the department to review it in advance?"
"The teachers all said it wasn't a big deal, and that it would be fine with a few minor changes and attention to detail. How come you don't have any confidence at all?"
Having said that, as long as we don’t see the final results, everyone will still feel a little uncertain.
Who knows if the teacher said something nice on purpose for Qin Feng's sake and to take care of their feelings?
You should know that the graduation thesis defense is not just one or two teachers sitting there to review your research results, but a group of teachers.
Sometimes, one or two senior leaders from the school will be included.
In this case, everyone has to agree that you can pass.
"Oh, right." Li Jiasheng suddenly looked up and asked, "Why hasn't Brother Feng come back yet? He has his thesis defense tomorrow. If he doesn't show up, will it be counted as an absence? Will he be unable to graduate successfully?"
"Don't worry, if any of us can't graduate, we won't let Qin Feng graduate."
Zhao Pengfei took out the key and opened the door of dormitory 5012.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Qin Feng lying on the bed with his legs hanging down.
He is holding a mobile phone in his hand and playing Happy Match.
"Qin Feng?"
"You, when did you come back?"
The four of them were all stunned and stared at him.
Qin Feng smiled and sat up from the bed: "I came back in the afternoon, and I haven't seen you since."
Zhao Pengfei asked, "We went to the library to write our paper. They have computers there. Where did Director Rong take you for the assessment? Did you pass? You have your defense tomorrow. Have you finished your paper yet?"
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Director Rong took me to XX to evacuate overseas Chinese. The mission was completed smoothly. After the mission was over, he gave me a full score on the final exam."
"Evacuate?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
No one expected that Qin Feng would go through such an assessment.
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy. This wasn't an exam at all; it was clearly a place for him to gain military merit.
You know, if young cadres want to be promoted quickly, they must make more achievements.
Although, you can also gain merit by leading new recruits, participating in competitions, taking part in exercises, and catching spies.
But compared with participating in international events on the battlefield, these can basically be regarded as minor incidents.
The same merit has completely different value and significance.
Qin Feng did not reveal the news that Ge Zhiyong and his team were participating in a peacekeeping mission and were seriously injured during the mission.
It’s not that we intend to hide it. The list of peacekeepers can actually be found on military websites. It is completely transparent information open to the public.
Peacekeeping is an honorable thing and there is nothing to hide.
But considering that he still has to participate in the defense tomorrow, it is better not to make things difficult for Zhao Pengfei and Li Jiasheng at this moment, so as not to cause unnecessary worry.
"Have you prepared your graduation thesis?" Li Jiasheng also asked.
"It's all done a long time ago." Qin Feng held a small USB drive in his hand. "I sorted out half of it last semester. I also sorted and collected some after class. Basically, there was no need for modification or adjustment a month ago."
"..."
Damn, the gap between top students and poor students is huge.
With such efficiency, no wonder people are playing with their phones without being impatient.
......
The next day, the first graduation defense for the cadets seeking promotion finally arrived.
The students came to the podium in turn according to their names and presented their research results to the tutors below in the form of PPT presentations.
Although the process was a bit tense, both Zhao Pengfei and Li Jiasheng and others spoke with some pauses and stuttering.
Fortunately, their research direction and results are still recognized by the instructors of the Special Operations Command Department.
In addition, the instructors also gave evaluations during the intermission.
As expected of Qin Feng, they all share a dormitory with excellent students in both character and academics, and are very good in all aspects.
Everyone passed the defense without any major problems, and their legs felt weak when they came out.
However, it looks like I should be able to pass it in one go and get my diploma successfully.
This also means that they will all become officers after they return.
And starting as a lieutenant is a very exciting thing.
Qin Feng's defense was the last because he was studying in two departments.
When it was his turn, there were several more instructors from the Integrated Command Department, and Director Tao was also present in person.
Even Hao Zhengwei took time out of his busy schedule to come and read Qin Feng's defense.
On the podium, Qin Feng inserted the USB drive into the computer and opened his PPT document.
Then, he leaned his hands on the podium, like a calm and experienced special lecturer, and looked at the students below with a smile.
"Hello, teachers and leaders. I've been studying for a year and am an ordinary officer-promoting cadet from the Southwest Theater Command. My name is Qin Feng."
"I have two graduation research topics: wargaming - military artificial intelligence, and the development and application of the war skull system."
"Also, can the combination of special tactics and synthetic tactics better cope with the complex and ever-changing international situation in the future..."
