spn "...conquer the vast starry sky, expand the territory for the empire, you participate, you witness...the empire's dream, your dream..."

On the streets of Hangzhou, Shen Bingfeng stared at the recruitment advertisement broadcast on the huge curtain wall TV for a long time with complicated emotions.

In the past few days, an unprecedented news has spread all over the world. The empire has announced that it will conduct an unprecedented large-scale recruitment. The scale of recruitment has reached tens of millions. It is an unprecedented and unprecedented scale of recruitment.

In the recruitment advertisement, warships sailed through the sea of ​​​​stars one after another, and the huge sun in the background was so bright. On the bridge, the commander of the Imperial Space Force, Major General Sun Xiwu, personally took action, wearing a general's battle uniform, standing on the bridge.

He gave a military salute in the direction of the earth.

The majestic giant ship, the bright and scorching sun, and the sonorous commander standing on the bridge in a general's battle uniform, together form an extremely touching scene.[

This is a recruitment advertisement for battleship soldiers.

Opposite this giant TV wall, a 3 billboard is also playing recruitment advertisements for interstellar commandos.

"...When we set foot on strange planets again and again, when we conquer patches of starry sky, we never regret, our youth burns brightly, and our dreams come true. We are great interstellar commandos..."

On the huge advertisement, a soldier wearing a full combat uniform and holding an individual laser cannon stood on the roof of a newly built small city on Mars. The muzzle of the cannon was slightly raised and his eyes were looking into the depths of the starry sky.

In the square downstairs, tens of thousands of interstellar commandos were dressed in neat black combat uniforms, holding uniform military high-energy laser guns in their hands, as if they had just conquered the planet, with more majesty than...

Shen Bingfeng is about to graduate from college. He has already undergone the elementary genetic modification and elementary brain development carried out by the school. He has practiced Yanhuang martial arts for six years and has reached the lowest level of martial artist. He can handle twenty or thirty ordinary people with his bare hands.

Down.

Although his own conditions are not particularly outstanding, he is still considered a promising young man among the youth of the empire.

Originally, he was planning to apply for a military academy to study warship-related majors, but his mother was seriously ill and bedridden, leaving him with no choice.

In ancient times, it was not advisable to travel far away when both parents were present. He also wanted to return to the city to work. His father was recruited to go to Mars, where there was a newly discovered energy mine that needed skilled workers, so he could only take care of his mother nearby.

His father's job paid very well, and if he went to military school, his father would go home to take care of his mother, and the family would lose its only income.

His college major is chemical engineering, and the 45 classmates in his class have all undergone genetic modification and brain development, although they are only primary drugs.

After comprehensively considering their potential and interests, one-third of them are ready to go to professional-related fields. One-third are ready to be soldiers, and another third are ready to be clerks, workers, business, or

other.

Shen Bingfeng is one of the few people who has not made up his mind.

Maybe I will become a small vendor, or a clerk working 9 to 5.

Although these are not what he wants to do, he desperately wants to be a soldier.

Taking the newly opened flying bus, Shen Bingfeng quickly returned home. A small courtyard in an old alley of Hangzhou.

"Mom, these are the lotus seeds I just bought. I will make lotus seed soup for you right away."

Shen's mother suffers from a debilitating disease of body function. Its scientific name is "Luo syndrome", which was only discovered clinically by a medical scientist named Luo the year before last.

Shen Bingfeng carefully helped her mother up on the bed and sat up against it. There is no specific medicine for this disease yet. The existing medicines can only sustain life, but people need to take care of her for food, clothing, housing and transportation.[

"Son, mom is sorry for you."

Shen's mother cried, and slowly stretched out her hand from the quilt, holding a diary, the diary that Shen Bingfeng often wrote in.

"mom!"

When Shen Bingfeng saw this, he understood everything. His mother had seen everything he wrote in his diary. In the past two years, the diary was full of information about his mother's illness, news about his father, and his own dreams.

"Child, it's the mother's fault..."

"Mom, don't think too much. Dreams are one thing. My biggest dream now is to get you better soon. I'm still young. When my mother recovers, I will join the army."

Shen Bingfeng did not deceive his mother. His biggest dream is for her to get well, and the second is to become a soldier.

"My child, you are still young, and it is time to work hard to realize your lofty ideals. A good man with ambitions everywhere, how can he waste his time beside my hospital bed."

Mother Shen wiped away her tears and said seriously.

"Mom, this is not a wasted time. Parents are the greatest in the world."

Shen Bingfeng shook his head and said.

Shen's mother did not continue talking, nor did she tell Shen Bingfeng that she had had a video call with her husband who was far away on Mars in the morning and told him about the incident.

Three days later, Shen Bingfeng suddenly received a letter issued by the Recruitment Office of the Imperial Military Academy.

"Classmate Shen Bingfeng:

Since your basic conditions meet the registration requirements, we are pleased to formally inform you that you will go to the No. 128 Recruit Training Camp in Hangzhou on July 15, 1952 to participate in the re-examination of the battleship corps..."

This was actually a reply letter from the recruitment office. Shen Bingfeng was at a loss. He had never signed up, so how could he have received an exam notice? And he also passed the preliminary exam.

When he looked back and saw his mother smiling with tears in her eyes, everything became clear.

It turned out that his mother secretly signed up for him. Based on his records of injections of genetic drugs and brain-developed drugs when he was in school, and warrior records, he directly passed the preliminary examination and could enter the re-examination.

"mom……"

"Son, go ahead. Your father decided to hire a Filipino servant to take care of me around the clock. They are very dedicated and responsible. The mines on Mars have raised wages again, so don't worry about the cost."

Shen's mother said kindly.

"But, mother's illness..."[

Shen Bingfeng thought to himself that although the opportunity was rare, loyalty was hard to come by, so he had no choice but to give up this opportunity.

"The second good news is that your father's application letter to the Royal Foundation has received a reply. It is said that more than 1,100 cases of my mother's disease have been rediagnosed around the world, and they will provide a specific drug within this year, and Experts will be organized in advance to provide centralized consultation for us."

Shen Ma's face was filled with a happy smile. The Royal Foundation's personal reply, and the special medicine proposed by the Imperial Science and Technology Committee would definitely be useful.

"That's great! Mom, is it really great? It's really great."

Shen Bingfeng felt a huge sense of happiness hit him for a moment, with the help of the Royal Foundation, and the special medicine that the Science and Technology Committee personally researched. All this seemed to be a distant dream, but now, it has become a reality.

Half an hour later, when Shen Bingfeng and her son received another comforting call from the staff of the Royal Foundation, they finally felt at ease.

"Go, child, this is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you will have to wait for a long time. Mom will take good care of her health. Believe in Your Majesty and the Empire."

Shen's mother said earnestly.

"Mom, I will definitely pass the exam. When I pass the exam and become a battleship soldier and make great achievements in the future, I will give you a high-end genetic needle."

Shen Bingfeng knew that only the best gene injection could improve his mother's body. He hoped that one day he could rely on his military exploits to exchange for the highly cherished advanced genetic medicine.

…

At the same time, far away in Brazil, in a new slum area in Rio de Janeiro, a young black man was returning home happily holding a recruitment poster.

"Father, I'm going to sign up to be a soldier."

Little Buck saw Old Buck, who was dressed in darkness and had just come off work from the boiler room, and said excitedly. Old Buck was startled, and while wiping his hands on his body, he said worriedly, "The conditions for being a soldier are too high. I just asked it for you."

This is a new area built under the leadership of the imperial local government after the slums were collapsed.

Although the empire's most crazy genetic modification and brain development policies have not been widely spread outside the homeland, economically, Brazil, an originally poor and backward region, has benefited a lot.

A large number of backward industries began to move to these places. When the imperial government reorganized the old Brazilian government, it announced that it would maintain the purchasing power of the original currencies and did not turn them into waste paper overnight.

However, although these currencies can buy food, clothes, fruits, ordinary commodities, etc., they cannot buy products with high technological content.

Products with very high technological content, including personal microcomputers, such as the most advanced genetic medicines, flying cars, personal spaceships, etc., cannot be purchased with old currency.

So what should ordinary people do if they want to buy new-age products with high technological content?

It can only be earned by earning new currency, that is, new yuan issued by the empire.

These new renminbi are circulated in newly-joined areas like Brazil through the government's payment of public employee salaries, government-led project payments, social assistance, public welfare funds, etc., all of which are new renminbi.

In this way, ordinary people can still buy daily necessities, even far more abundantly than before, but things like flying cars are beyond their ability to buy, so the impact will not be big.

Those who really have a huge impact are those who are originally wealthy.

Those local tycoons and capitalists were originally grateful that the government did not infringe on any of their money and only confiscated a small amount of real estate. However, they found that their wealth could only be displayed in these backward areas.

There are many millionaires in Rio de Janeiro. After joining the Empire in Brazil, they originally thought of immigrating to the country to live a life of rich people. However, they discovered that their wealth was nothing in the country. Except for daily necessities, any You can't buy anything with high technological content.

Only RMB can be used, and wealth is limited.

The exchange of the old currency and the new RMB is strictly restricted, and those who exchange it privately are sentenced for disrupting economic order.

This has greatly restricted the old wealthy people from enjoying their blessings in the so-called hotbed of revolution, especially the billionaires in Europe and the United States. Citizens, they may only be equivalent to a middle class.

They can also become real imperial tycoons again, but that will require a long process of struggle, and they must get used to the path to wealth under this new economic system.

"Moreover, you now have a stable job, and you only need to deliver 500 express deliveries every day..."

In the slum community, the old black man Buck was about to comfort his son and persuade him not to become a soldier. "You have not undergone genetic modification and have not developed your brain. How can you become a soldier?"

"Father, the recruitment announcement said that this recruitment is open to all regions of the entire empire. People who have not undergone brain development and genetic modification can also join the army as long as they are proven to have potential through assessment. After entering the army, they will undergo genetic modification and

Brain development.”

As a 21-year-old young man, little Buck really doesn't want to spend his whole life delivering express delivery.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Old Buck never even became a courier, but now works as a water boiler in the slums.

"Yes, father, just agree to let me try. I feel that I have great potential and will definitely pass the exam. Now is the best opportunity. Look at the rich people in the city. They can only be found in Brazil."
