Time flies, and the short ten-day vacation is over. The cadets of the Madoff Military Academy began to return to school one after another. Shang Ping carried his luggage and walked back to the dormitory. The pupil recognition device automatically scanned his right eye, and then made an unpleasant sound, and the smart lock was opened.
All the students of the Madoff Military Academy adopt a dormitory system, which is different from the single-room dormitory for the seniors. Shang Ping still lives in a three-person room. After his fifteenth birthday, and the average score of each subject reaches A or above, he will be able to do so. Eligibility to apply for single dormitory. For Shang Ping, whose shooting and close combat have always been below the pass line, the single-person dormitory is undoubtedly a beautiful fantasy.
Stuffing the luggage he brought back into the locker, Shang Ping turned on the smart computer beside the bed and began to check his final test scores for the first half of the semester and the course schedule for the second half of the semester. If he could, he really wanted to remove the shooting class and close-quarters combat class from the compulsory options - it's not impossible, as long as he finds a way to hack the master brain of the academy, the price will be his future decades. All of his life is dedicated to Mars's prison where intelligent criminals are held. Oh, he is not yet an adult, and he should be sent to a juvenile detention center. He will first go to the wild planet to work as a coolie, and he will not be sent to prison until he becomes an adult.
While thinking wildly, he made the final test report card into an electronic file, which needs to be sent to his guardian and kept in the academy at the same time. Perhaps out of confidence in the students, the college will never send the transcripts to the parents beyond the students. This is also to cultivate the discipline or sense of responsibility of the students from a certain aspect.
Pressing the send button, Shang Ping leaned on the back of the chair and suddenly felt a little empty. The adopter, Colonel Edgar, did not interfere too much in Shang Ping's life. The only time was when Shang Ping was on the eve of entering the Madoff Military Academy. When he hesitated because of uncertainty, Colonel Edgar would not reach his waist The black-haired boy put it on his shoulders, pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Baby, do you see those? That's the dream of all Mars boys! You are no exception!"
dream?
Shang Ping looked up at the sky and followed the gems shining in the sky, as if he had become one of them, floating in the infinite darkness of the universe.
At that moment, Shang Ping was confused, with some inexplicable intoxication and fascination, he seemed to understand what Edgar's dream represented.
That is the desire to conquer and the strong desire for knowledge in human nature, and it will not disappear from the bones no matter how many tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years have passed. Even the one who has memories of two lifetimes is not immune from the vulgarity.
"Shang Ping, why are you in a daze?" John pushed open the door and walked in, patting Shang Ping's back, "Did you forget the next 'principal lecture' in the auditorium? If you are late, you will get into trouble."
"The principal's lecture? It should be the opening ceremony."
"whatever!"
John grabbed Shang Ping, grabbed Shang Ping's collar and stuffed it to him, "It's just a ten-day vacation, what kind of opening ceremony is being held, President Gus has fully implemented the bureaucracy in the government into the Madoff Military Academy. Yes. If Madoff Whitewhite found out, that great soldier might have jumped out of his grave and twisted Gus's neck."
bureaucracy?
Shang Ping sorted out the collar badge in front of the mirror and raised his eyebrows. It was a surprise to hear the word from John's mouth.
When the two hurried to the auditorium, the ceremony had not yet begun, and the students of each academic year had already started to line up in order. John pulled Shang Ping to find the team of the same students, and he saw a few familiar faces, "Hi, Joseph, I haven't seen you for ten days, you seem to have gained weight again. Zhou Ting, have you cut your hair? Oh, the popular 'princess' of the school year. , how can you give up that beautiful hair?"
"To shut up!"
Shang Ping didn't wait for Joseph and Zhou Ting to get angry, and punched John in the stomach, successfully sealing his abominable mouth.
"Hi, Joseph, Zhou Ting, don't get to know him in general."
"No." Zhou Ting patted Shang Ping's shoulder with a smile, his slender eyebrows, which should have been a gentle smile, but with a dash of sharpness, glanced at John who was rubbing his stomach, "You teach me Well done, keep up the good work."
Joseph lay on Zhou Ting's shoulder and winked at Shang Ping, "I agree."
"Go away, fat man."
"Zhou, why are you like that kid John..."
Shang Ping sighed helplessly, is he just like the owner of a large dog like John? It's fine for Uncle Edgar to be joking, how can a friend think so.
"Shang Ping?"
"kindness?"
"At one o'clock in the front right, there is a dangerous object approaching!"
"what!"
Shang Ping didn't want to pay attention to John's nonsense, but the next moment was eerily quiet. A tall boy walked up to him and stood still, with a slender and straight figure, straight black trousers without any wrinkles wrapped around a straight long Legs, black Madoff Military Academy uniform, collar and epaulettes exuding a scorching brilliance, Shang Ping raised his head and couldn't help squinting his eyes, the brilliant blonde hair, like the most blazing sunlight, would burn people's eyes, under the blonde hair, was A pair of green eyes, deep and clear. This boy had a cold aura that could not be ignored.
Austin South?
Muse Galaxies Planetary Free Cities Federation
Unlike the Republic of Seth and the military regime of Mars, the people living in the Free City Federation of Planet γ advocate hedonism. This does not mean that they live a decadent life. Although they have given up the dominant position of the Muse Galaxy, the development of the Free City Federation has not It's not a lag, it's just that people here prefer wine, food, beauty, and a comfortable life to occupying more colonized planets. Just relying on the quarterly transaction volume of Mars and Seth on the gamma planet's free market, the tax is enough to support the luxury life of the entire gamma planet. No wonder the Mars people mocked the Free Cities Federation as a bunch of lazy drunks and parasites.
The highest representative of power on Planet γ is the chairman of the city federation. The first chairman was Greta Soth, and then Greta Soth's son and grandson continued for three generations. After Greta's grandson left office, the chairman of the free city federation began to be The election of each territory has developed to the present, and this position has become the top spot for the lords of various territories to be replaced by turns. However, in addition to the superficial symbolism, the power of the city federation chairman is enough to make the lords of the territory covet.
Pricing power and taxation alone can keep these natural businessmen head-to-head.
The current President of the Free Cities Federation is Zena Joe. This beauty with a masculine name and personality, like Greta South, the founder of the Free Cities Federation, has dexterous political skills and a natural intuition for interests. With all this, there is terrifying greed. These greeds made her not satisfied with the current status of γ-planet, and planned to regain the original glory of γ-planet in the Muse galaxy again.
For this greedy purpose, she doesn't mind selling her soul to the devil.
As a natural businessman, what can't be sold?
Zena Qiao sat on the luxurious sofa, swaying the wine in the crystal glass, her plump red lips raised a satisfied arc, and opposite her was a man with almost transparent skin. Light-colored hair and eyes, tightly pursed lips, the man's appearance is very handsome, but he is fundamentally different from the human beings in the Muse galaxy. With just a glance, you can tell that this man does not belong to any planet in the Muse system at all. Even the Free City Federation, which claims to be the interstellar free market, can't find anyone similar to him.
"Then," the man looked at Zener, his voice was mechanically cold, "as a party to the transaction, we have fully expressed our sincerity."
"certainly."
Zena Qiao smiled even more happily and drank the wine in the cup. "The Fourth Fleet of the Republic of Seth is enough to express your sincerity. On the contrary, I will also express my sincerity."
Pressing the button at hand, a plump woman with gray hair walked in with a richly decorated box. The moment he saw the box, an imperceptible eagerness flashed in the man's eyes.
"Mr. Novi, this is a small part of the transaction. The other part has been loaded on the merchant ship, and the merchant ship can leave at any time."
Zener pushed the box in front of the man. The box contained a special ore unique to the Muse galaxy. For the human beings in the Muse galaxy, this ore was not surprising. However, for Novi and the huge empire he represented behind him. Said that this ore can replace the existence of existing energy. As long as a small piece, after special treatment, is enough to support a warship across the entire universe.
The golden empire behind Novi has the power to sweep the universe, but the depletion of energy is a thorny problem they face. In the long years, this trouble has limited their pace. By chance, Novi is in the A businessman from the Muse galaxy was encountered on a frontier planet. At that time, his merchant ship was lost in the vast universe because it was separated from the fleet, and met Novi when he was dying. The merchant carried this kind of ore, which was a souvenir he brought from his hometown. From the businessman's mouth, Novi knew the origin of this ore and the location of the Muse planet...
To his surprise, no one in this galaxy seemed to have discovered the role of this ore.
Novi carefully put away the box and looked at Zena who thought he had made a good deal, the corner of his mouth evoked a mocking arc, stupid woman.
