In the morning, eight o'clock.

"Little brother, I'm about to go. The money I received from enlisting in the army should be enough for my mother's maintenance expenses and your schooling, and when the allowance in the army is paid in the future, I will transfer it to my family's account, and you must take good care of your mother. Leng Feng was a few meters away from a medium-sized military troop transport hovering vehicle, and said to his younger brother Leng Mang with a serious face.

"Brother, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of my mother, but brother, you have to be careful with everything, and you must call home more when you have time, I ...... I...... Elder brother...... I really don't want you to leave. Speaking of this, Leng Mang, who was only sixteen years old, had tears in his eyes.

"Little brother, don't do this. I'm just going to do 10 years of voluntary military service, and if the Federation doesn't have such long-term military service, your brother and I only have a freshman degree, and there is no way to get that money by other means. For the sake of you and Mom, doing this is the only way out for us. Let's go back......" As he spoke, Leng Feng quickly turned around and strode towards the military hovertruck.

"Brother, please rest assured! I will definitely take good care of my mother and study hard! Get a good job in the future. Brother, I will never forget what you gave up for Mom and me. Leng Mang saw his brother turn around and leave, and shouted eagerly.

After Leng Feng heard his younger brother's words, his figure paused, but he didn't turn around, just raised his hand and waved, and then raised his foot and entered the medium-sized military personnel carrier.

As soon as he got into the car, the medium-sized military vehicle closed its doors and sped away along the highway in the city.

"Brother, you let me hide it from my mother, and don't let me tell her that you joined the expedition infantry in the immigration fleet, how can you let me hide it for a long time?" Seeing the troop carrier disappear around the corner of the street in the distance, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and muttered coldly.

The age of immigration has lasted for almost two hundred years and is now 2236. In the 21st century, mankind has made remarkable scientific and technological achievements, not only solving many problems that cannot break through the light barrier and survival guarantee in space, but also successfully discovering a small number of planets suitable for direct migration in hundreds of nearby star systems.

For as long as he can remember, Leng Feng has grown up in the living atmosphere of the Earth Federation's immigrants.

His father Leng Qian has a double doctorate degree in chemical engineering and mechanical physics from Rehe Provincial University, and was a laboratory technician in a chemical factory, his mother Liu Xinshuang is a primary school teacher, and his younger brother Leng Mang is two years younger than him.

Although such a family is not a wealthy class, it can also be called a well-off family, and it can be said that Leng Feng's childhood was mostly spent in carefree.

However, this good life came to an abrupt end when he was 12 years old, when his father died in a chemical spill at the factory, and his mother passed out due to grief and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. After the diagnosis of latent heart disease, if the symptoms are suddenly sudden, if you do not rely on maintenance treatment with high-priced drugs in the future, there is a possibility that the symptoms will recur at any time and cause sudden death.

As for wanting to change the heart, the cloning tax and surgery costs of millions of federal coins are not something they dare to hope for.

Such an emergency really caught Leng Feng's family off guard.

Fortunately, the family still had some savings, plus his father's pension, and the family sold the 23-story house in the center of the city and moved to live in an underground low-rent settlement prepared by the suburban government for the poor, so that they could buy medicine for their mother for a certain period of time and let them continue to go to school.

Leng Feng went to school while taking care of his seriously ill mother and younger brother, and had to work six hours at night at the night service center of the family car. From the beginning he could only wipe the car to assist the technicians in repairing, and later for all kinds of hovercars and all kinds of small aircraft, he even became an undocumented maintenance technician, until he entered Haizhou University not long ago, which was six years.

Originally, after Leng Feng entered the university, he could rely on scholarships to apply for student loans and go to work at night, and he could successfully complete his studies, but coincidentally, the Earth Federation completely canceled the scholarship and student loan system this year.

The family's savings and his father's pension have been used up, and in the case of Leng Feng's night work, there should be hope to hold on until the moment when he graduates, as long as he has a job, he can comprehensively improve the family's situation of making ends meet, but the original Jihua has been completely disrupted due to this change.

Mother's medicine must not be stopped, and his younger brother is only in his first year of high school, so Leng Feng had to choose to join the federal army, because only by joining the federal army can he get a certain enlistment reward, but Leng Feng's report is not an ordinary three-year compulsory soldier, not just a ten-year volunteer soldier, but also the most dangerous immigration fleet landing infantry in the early stage, which makes the family directly get nearly 300,000 federal coins, which is enough for the younger brother to complete his studies, and let his mother's illness not deteriorate.

The results of the college entrance examination are ranked in the top 20 in Rehe Province, and he took the college entrance examination directly in the second year of high school to achieve such results, he could have gone to the capital university to study, but because of the concern about the cost and the reason to take care of his mother and younger brother nearby, he could only choose to stay in the city to study. He now has to give up his ideals, and even the former high school homeroom teacher and many professors in his freshman year feel very sorry when they learn that he left school to join the army.

At Rehe Airport, Leng Feng and more than 30 young people from the civilian class stepped onto a transport ship nearly 1,000 meters long, they were a group of recruits on this ship, and there were tens of thousands of recruits on the ship.

Leng Feng and the thirty-odd recruits were organized into the 333rd team, and under the leadership of an officer who was obviously a sergeant, they entered a cabin that was only a few tens of square meters in size, and the sergeant ordered all the recruits not to talk during the journey, and to sit in a designated position, and violators would be punished by a week's imprisonment after arriving at their destination.

This order made Leng Feng and the other recruits put away the idea of talking freely after boarding the ship, and could only make a wry smile or a helpless expression, and could only make eye contact with each other.

At this time, the transport ship had been flying out of the atmosphere for more than ten minutes, and the interior of the ship was always silent.

"I don't know what the recruit base looks like, how long it will take to train, and what kind of standard weapons will I get? These things are secret among the people. Sitting in his seat in a brand-new black private's uniform, Leng Feng thought with some excitement. ,

"My physique is average, and I heard that the training in the army is very harsh, so it seems that I have to be mentally prepared." For joining the army, Leng Feng had this desire in his early years, although he joined because of the special circumstances of his family, he was not resistant, but very happy.

All the young soldiers around were also thinking quietly, most of them were numb, and only a few soldiers were excited. They are all civilians, if it weren't for the improvement of the conditions at home, no one would be willing to apply for this type of troops, not to mention the landing infantry, landing on the new immigrant planet is not tourism, and it is impossible to be without danger, and there will even be a great probability of casualties.

"Attention of the whole ship, a short jump is about to ......" Just as Leng Feng was thinking and observing his companions around him, the mechanical synthesis sound of the ship's intelligent brain suddenly came from the cabin.

"The D-132 Huaxia Recruit Base 1.03 light years away. All occupants are requested to fasten their seat belts immediately, and the 20-second countdown begins, 20, 19...... 3、2、1。 ”

After the countdown was over, the entire transport ship suddenly shook, Leng Feng only felt that his eyes were dark, and at that moment it seemed that his body had disappeared, and then he felt that everything was back to normal, but the bodies of everyone in the cabin seemed to emit different colors of colored light.

It was the first time that Leng Feng had experienced a spatial jump, and when this kind of spatial displacement was carried out, the living body would emit an abnormal colored light, which he had heard of, but after seeing it, he couldn't help but be amazed in the bottom of his heart.

This situation only lasted for a few minutes, and then the voice of the ship's intelligent brain came again, this time it would return to normal space, that is, it was about to reach its destination.

The space carrier appeared in the void in another tremor, flying towards an asteroid that was emitting countless faint rays of light at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, which was once an asteroid in the asteroid belt of the solar system, with a diameter of 68 kilometers. It was converted into a military base hundreds of years ago and towed to the outermost part of the solar system.

The battleship was soon cleared and entered the transparent space dock, and the synthetic voice of the ship's intelligent brain sounded again.

"Attention all recruits, disembark in order and line up......" Hearing this voice, Leng Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he felt very unsafe in space, even in a military transport ship, and there was no sense of groundedness.

Running out along the wide passage inside the ship, the pace of the two recruits in a row looked very messy, but it was still a little orderly to assemble to the dock insulation ground outside the ship, and tens of thousands of people finally lined up in five minutes under the leadership of more than 300 non-commissioned officers frowning and parting heads.

Leng Feng's team was at the back of the far right of the tens of thousands of people, and after lining up, Leng Feng looked up at the transparent dock.

The brightest star in the distance is the sun, which used to shine so brightly on the earth seems so soft and intimate at this time, and the perspective of the earth is completely different from that of the earth, which is only 8 minutes away a light year.

A six-meter-long small military warship also happened to sail over at this time, hovering three meters in the air not far in front of the 10,000-strong phalanx.

The hatch of the small battleship was open, and a thirty-year-old soldier with a gold major badge on his shoulder looked down solemnly at the somewhat chaotic formation of the 10,000-strong recruit in front of him, who turned out to be a gold major.

In addition to non-commissioned officers, officers from the rank of lieutenant to the rank of general and above are divided into four grades: gold, silver, bronze and iron, which means that the lowest level of iron-level warrant officer officers is also equivalent to the major level of officers before the era of immigration, that is, it is equivalent to the regiment commander level two hundred years ago.

What is the equivalent of a gold-level major general with a gap of more than ten ranks with privates? In the past, he was equivalent to a general who could be in charge of several armies.

You must know that in the current Earth Federation, the highest-ranking officers of the Federal Military Council are only two or three iron-level major generals, although they are new recruits, this common sense Leng Feng is naturally clear.

"Strange? Such a gold-level major actually appeared in a recruit training base, this is weishenme? Leng Feng thought in surprise. );
