In the rest room next to the Crescent Island training ground, soldiers who had just finished their live-fire training were taking a shower and taking out their clothes from their storage boxes to put them on. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, everyone noticed that a poster was posted on their storage box.

The poster shows a spaceship and a heavily armored soldier armed with a rifle, with Mars in the background...... Zhang Feng doesn't know if it's Mars, anyway, looking at the bare surface of the planet, it's definitely not Earth.

"Aerospace Defense Force? What is this?" Tearing off the propaganda, Zhang Feng rubbed his short wet hair with a towel on his shoulder, sat on the bench next to him, and carefully looked at the small words on the propaganda poster.

"Perhaps, this is a movie that just came out?" the Mexican machine gunner on his team walked to the side and leaned his face closer, "How did those people who put up advertisements get in, it's a military restricted area." ”

"Think about it with your brain, Jack," a large hand slapped the old Mexican shoulder, and the rifleman Liu Duntao grinned, "since this is a military restricted area, of course it is our people who put up the advertisements." ”

"I put up the advertisement, and of course, it was printed by the command. A man in military uniform walked into the break room and took the hat that had been left on the locker, "You'd better keep an eye on it, it's a good thing." ”

With that, the officer from the logistics office turned and left.

Several GIs were stunned and looked at each other.

"I heard that the Ring Trade was working on an interstellar colonization project, and I thought they were talking about it...... Shet, it seems that they are serious? We, we have a chance to change from Marines to Marines?"

"Fighting in outer space?

"Good. It's better to fight aliens who don't know if they exist than to fight earthlings. ”

"Shet, you're planning to be a deserter? ”

“……”

Ignoring the mutual bragging and farting of his teammates, Zhang Feng carefully read the words on this promotional advertisement.

To be honest, he wasn't very interested, after all, he was now the captain of the Marine Corps, leading a squad of six. No one knows what the nature of this newly established air and space defense force is, and whether it will be taken seriously in the future.

When he returned to the dormitory, his roommate came back from a mission and saw the poster he had placed on his desk.

"I heard that it was a new unit ordered by the command, and the salary was very high, and the treatment after leaving the army was also good. I've signed up for this...... Orbital Airborne Troops. What about you?"

"Me?" Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm going to think about it again." ”

The basic salary of S$12,000 in a month is just an ordinary front-line soldier. Those with military rank and command experience are preferred, and with his rank and resume, there should be no problem in transferring from the Marine Corps to become a captain.

With a monthly salary of S$20,000, it is almost double his current salary.

However, it is said that the selection conditions will be very strict, and it is said that in addition to medical examinations, genetic sequencing will be required. In contrast, the physical requirements of applicants are relatively low.

According to the poster, even if you are a good-for-nothing sissy, our hellish training will make you a real man.

Should I sign up or not?

Zhang Feng shook his head, took out a form from his drawer, and pulled out a fountain pen from the pen holder.

Anyway, it's good to try it first, but you may not be able to choose it anyway.

With that in mind, he wrote his name on the form and simply filled in his resume. Leaning back in his chair and stretching, he put the form aside, and when he was going to eat in the cafeteria later, he would go to the military affairs office to sign up.

……

These days, Jiang Chen has been very leisurely.

Hua Guo has not yet come up with a result, and Ye Qinghua has never come to him again. The Russian side didn't know what was going on, Natasha didn't mention the space elevator, and the Kremlin didn't send anyone.

Europe is very stable, and there has been no action except for a few papers published by ESA on the possible impact of space elevators on climatic conditions and potential safety hazards. Mired in an economic crisis, they don't have the spare money to exploit space resources.

NASA of the United States called and briefly inquired about the business status of the space elevator and the tariff for the use of the orbit. Jiang Chen casually threw them a profile and sent them away, and they didn't call again after receiving the information.

As for the large, medium, and small private enterprises that have been connected to Transwarp Trade, there are too many to count. The business phone of the Star Ring Space Orbit Development Co., Ltd., which is responsible for managing the space elevator business, is full almost 24 hours a day. If you put these companies in a row, you can almost line up from Koro Island to Silicon Valley!

Among them is SpaceX, NASA's royal space exploration technology company. The space elevator has completed the first batch of material transportation from the ground to the synchronous orbit, and the private space companies in the United States are immediately mourning. The first to bear the brunt is SpaceX, and the market prospect of the Falcon rocket billions was instantly shortened. Its market capitalization has fallen from $12 billion to less than $10 billion after several days of decline, and even Google, the deepest major shareholder, is suffering from it.

Because it was Elon Musk, the chairman of SpaceX, who called, the operator of Transwarp transferred the call to Jiang Chen.

After the phone was connected, the American legend who founded PayPal said politely.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang. We exchanged business cards at SVIEF, I don't know if you remember me?"

"Of course, Mr. Musk. Jiang Chen smiled and quipped, "Even if I haven't exchanged business cards, I still remember you." After all, I grew up drinking your chicken soup. ”

Musk, the homeless man who is rich enough to rival the country, Ma Yun, who is not good-looking, who is worth tens of billions, Qiao's gang leader who has gone from the trough to the peak, and aspiring young men and women are nothing more than participating in these seasoning packets in the chicken soup they boil in space and talk. Although Jiang Chen scoffed at Chicken Soup for the Soul, he had been bombarded by these things in turn when he was in school.

Moreover, he now seems to have become a member of the "chicken soup family".

"Self-made unemployed youth". He vaguely remembered that he seemed to be labeled in some inspirational speeches and scarves?

Although Musk understands Chinese, he did not understand what Jiang Chen said. However, he only hesitated slightly, and ignored this small problem, after all, he did not call for small talk, but for something serious to discuss.

"I wonder if you have any intention of leasing the space elevator track?"

"Transwarp Trade is willing to provide one-stop service from the departure of goods to the synchronous orbit, and has no intention of leasing or contracting the entire orbit. Jiang Chen said with a smile, unceremoniously rejecting Musk's proposal.

For Jiang Chen's answer, Musk was not only depressed, but a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, it seems that you are also quite optimistic about the prospects for the development of outer space resources?"

"Of course, after all, the future is there. Jiang Chen said with a pleasant face.

"We have a win-win proposition here, I wonder if you're interested?" Musk smiled.

"If it's a project other than leased tracks. Jiang Chen emphasized again.

"Although it is related to leasing, it is not leasing orbit," Musk shook his head, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "SpacSx wants to lease the port of the space station at the end of the space elevator, and the price we offer will not disappoint you." (To be continued.) )
