"Very good, then the second stage of the competition will begin, which will last for three months, during which everyone can take the initiative to withdraw, and there will be an assessment every month for three months, and those who fail will still be eliminated. ”

"Since you have completed the first round of elimination, wait for the royal family to put 50,000 Tang Yuan in cash into each of your accounts, which is what you deserve, and there will also be rewards in the second round, and those who pass the second round of assessment can get a reward of 200,000 Tang Yuan. ”

One person 50,000, 830,000 people is 41.5 billion Tang Yuan, which seems to be a huge amount of money, but it is a drop in the bucket for the New Tang Dynasty royal family.

Compared with the 830,000 potential fighters selected by the competition, Li Quan made a lot of money.

"Alright, come on, I'm waiting for you at the terminal, and when the time comes, I'll personally issue you with an interstellar soldier certificate. After Li Quan finished speaking, he disappeared into the sky.

"Greetings to Your Majesty. The crowd said in unison.

The nationwide event of the New Tang Empire has always been concerned about the hearts of people around the world.

Everyone has been paying attention to the quota situation on this side of Xintang, and the number of eliminations announced every month can shock them, especially the last 830,000 people.

"I'll go, it's amazing, doesn't this mean that the New Tang Empire has eight hundred and thirty thousand interstellar soldiers all of a sudden, plus their previous strength, this time it will exceed one million. ”

"Hehe, people are now the world's largest superpower, and the population is more than 100 million people, what's wrong with a million army, you see that there are 11 countries in the world with more than one million military strength, even if you add Xintang, there are only 12. ”

(PS: The military strength of various countries has expanded by 1.5 times, and now the 164th year of the New Tang Dynasty, the corresponding year of the Common Era is 2045, during which there is also an explosive population growth and countries to encourage population surplus, etc., in reality, by 2018, there are actually only five with a military strength of more than one million.) ）

"It's different, ours are ordinary soldiers, people are interstellar soldiers, and haven't you heard of it, this is only the first round of selection, and there are two rounds left, it's terrifying. ”

"It can't be said that 15.2 million people, 830,000 people succeeded, and the pass rate is 5.46%, which is completely possible for one billion people to participate, and through more than 54 million people, that is, if we are armed with the whole people, we can arm more than 50 million interstellar soldiers, which is definitely the world's largest country. ”

"Damn, where did this fool come from, let's do a good job of your own economy first, and you don't even have a shadow of the second-echelon big country's standard celestial army now, you still think about interstellar soldiers, think too much. ”

"That's a dream, I haven't woken up yet, whoever makes people buy and buy, now the major powers are very nervous about their own heavenly armies, how can they have extra ability to sell to them, unless the price is super high, but their economy is not good, they can be willing, even if they buy it back, can anyone drive it, so the second echelon is not so easy to catch up." ”

Indeed, there are only five countries that are currently in the second echelon and have a space army in their country, namely Huaguo, which is the strongest in the second echelon, then Sam Country, and below is the Polar Bear, followed by the country of Deguo, which is the second to come first, and behind is the Eagle Country.

There are about fourteen countries in the third echelon with sixth-generation fighters, and the remaining unified fourth echelon is too bad to be divided, in fact, the gap between the countries in the last echelon is the largest.

The so-called second round of selection in the New Tang Empire was carried out in reality, and there was even the practice of directly piloting aerospace fighters, mechas, and so on.

At the beginning of the second round of selection, 180,000 unsuitable players were eliminated in the first month, and the difficulty increased in the second month, coupled with the assessment of psychological quality, directly brushed off 240,000 people, and only 400,000 people remained in the last month.

"Host, in fact, without His Majesty's additional difficulty, he can already become a qualified interstellar soldier according to the previous standards. Ling'er wondered.

"Interstellar soldiers are high-level soldiers, no matter the cost or other costs are very large, so it is still that principle, the best of the best, I hope that each fleet can exert at least 100% combat effectiveness, the highest can exceed the combat effectiveness of the fleet itself, which requires the best soldiers to do it, rather than many armies that are defeated by people in one blow, and the elite is not much more expensive. Li Quan explained.

Ling'er nodded, and stopped talking, she understood what Li Quan meant.

The last month was basically spent in space, and for this reason, the New Tang Empire lost a lot of economic benefits this month, but compared to this selection, those were secondary.

In the last month, more than 280,000 players finally passed.

Very good, higher than his estimated 200,000, although he needs to pay more than 50 billion Tang Yuan, plus the previous reward, it can be said that this national selection, he spent a total of 100 billion Tang Yuan, which is still the most superficial bonus.

Because of this long-term activity, the empire has lost at least three trillion Tang Yuan, and there are also some other aspects that have lost a lot, but in general, it is still cost-effective.

Well, Li Quan thinks so.

The empire will never lack warships, it will always lack soldiers who can pilot them.

These 280,000 people will be combined with the 25,000 men of the Heavenly Army, making a total of 310,000 and 7 people.

They will go straight to the third and final round of assessments, which are different from the previous round.

"Hey, Xiao Ming, this last round seems to be different from the previous one. ”

"Well, don't speak, the instructor has spoken. ”

"Hello, you are the best and most suitable interstellar soldiers selected from the entire Imperial Competition, but you are still short of the final round of selection, and this last round is different from the previous one, this round is a five-year systematic study. The instructor's words shocked everyone.

Five years? That's a long time, isn't it?

"You now have one last chance to quit, once you choose to enter the next round, you will only be eliminated in the middle of the game, and you can't quit on your own. ”

"Is anyone going to quit?" the instructor asked aloud again.

"No, no, no. ”

Very good.

But 310,000 people, not all of them will stick to it, some people come for this experience, some people have other things, and in the end, more than 306,000 people actually joined the third round, and more than 3,000 people withdrew for various reasons.

Of course, there are also many of them who are talented, and they have been done ideological work by people in the military department, and they have returned, and the more than 3,000 people who have really left are not the most talented and prominent people.

"Okay, now start choosing your elective courses, your list has marked our nine months of investigation of you feel that it is the most outstanding talent, the most suitable class, it is recommended that you take these courses, of course, if you have other good things, you can also choose others, in principle, not reluctantly, after all, hobbies are the best teachers, and we allow multiple electives. The instructor said.

After everyone has carried out the final study of five years, Li Quan will no longer pay attention to this place, and what he has to do now is to prepare the fleet for these warriors in the past five years.

In the 166th year of the New Tang Dynasty, on the 12th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the construction period of two and a half years, the second starfleet fleet of the New Tang Empire was officially completed.
