In the following discussions, the pictures or photographs are similar to the first one.

The Shenwu Empire was founded less than a hundred years ago, and the social contradictions were fierce, if it weren't for the years of war on the border that attracted the attention of the people, and if it weren't for the outdated weapons in the hands of civilians, uprisings would have sprung up all over the country like mushrooms after a rain. Therefore, the society is full of a large number of such pictures and photos, and the author uses them to vent his dissatisfaction with the real society.

In fact, Li Dong and XCMG also discussed this issue when they were free. At that time, Li Dong's ideas were too radical, and he was even about to subvert the country by force. But XCM, who was born in the upper class, has his own views on this.

Every country, from its establishment to its rise, is the result of contradictions. A new state was born when the contradictions of the old state were irreconcilable and led to collapse. The old state collapsed, but the old contradictions will not disappear so quickly, it may exist for a long time. What the new state should do is to constantly reconcile and weaken these contradictions, so as not to let these impressions affect the stable operation of the country and the normal life of the people.

Although Li Dong, who was born in the lower class, did not completely agree with his views, he also knew that the people who held such views still accounted for the majority in the upper strata of the country. Therefore, in this exam, Li Dong used this argument to solve the problem.

"Rykja, what do you think of this photo?" Seeing that since the blockbuster, this Reykja Weike has quieted down again, and there is no opinion in the discussion of the next few pictures, and a young examiner couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

Being able to get the examiner to remember his name and ask questions is in some ways a success for him.

Li Dong woke up from the memories he had discussed with XCMG and looked up at the photo on the big screen.

There are two rows of people seated in the photo. One row of people sat high, well-dressed, with their toes high, their feet raised, their toes resting on the plank, looking arrogant, while the other row, sitting very low, their clothes dull and gray, some of them looked a little dirty, and some of them were hunched at the waist, and some even carried children behind their backs, with their heads bowed, shoe polish shoe brushes in their hands, and they were intently polishing the shoes on the feet of the first row of people.

Li Dong sighed lightly in his heart, how could it be such a photo again.

"What do you think of this photo, don't you think that the person who took the photo is sorry?" asked a young woman in the examiner, obviously disagreeing with Li Dong's previous answer.

Because he didn't listen carefully to the previous discussion, Li Dong didn't know what the general direction of the answer was, although as long as he answered according to his original answer policy, even if he didn't shine, there would be no big mistake, but he still decided to test it first, step on the point, and explore the water.

He calmly inserted the admission ticket into the magnetic card, stood up, straightened his spine, and replied confidently: "I think this photo wants to reflect the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor in society. The dimness of the composition and colors shows that the author is very disappointed with this universal social phenomenon. ”

Li Dong glanced at the expressions of the candidates looking at him from the corner of his eye, and there was not much surprise, it seemed that the general direction of the discussion still did not jump out of the scope of what he had just said, and he suddenly smiled slightly, and then said: "I think that if this author writes for a long time and can live for more than 50 years, he will be much happier!"

"Oh!"

"Hmm!"

"Ahh

Hearing that Li Dong had another strange point of view to say, everyone showed a look of attention, even the female examiner who had a slightly sarcastic tone just now.

"The gap between the rich and the poor in society is a phenomenon that exists in every galaxy and every country, even the rich big countries in the Star Covenant are inevitable, and it is not a social phenomenon unique to the Shenwu Empire. In my opinion, the well-dressed people in the photo are not noble, and the shabby ones are not humble, they are all equal relations, that is, you pay, I serve, buy and sell, you are willing. ”

"There is no shame in labor, and every penny of social wealth is produced by hard labor. In my opinion, the shoe-shiner is only wearing work clothes, the reason why it is a little torn and dirty is determined by the nature of the job itself, and the shoe shine is dirty and tiring, you just wear a fur coat, and it is like this after polishing 4 or 5 pairs of shoes. You can't compare the worker's work clothes with the casual clothes of the aristocracy or the rich, there is no comparison between this kind of clothes, just like my clothes and those geologists' work clothes, am I the one who stands tall?"

Everyone chuckled, and the female examiner also covered her mouth and smiled.

"There is no shame in working, and at the same time there is no shame in spending money to hire people, so that the poor have enough to eat, so that they can live, and the rich can live comfortably and better. To live, and then to live better on that basis, this is everyone's desire, and there is nothing to point fingers at and talk about. The existence of privileges that deprive people of dignity is the disgrace of our entire society. It's the system, not the whole class of the rich. ”

As he spoke, Li Dong smiled and nodded, indicating that Lao Tzu had finished speaking, and after the views were published, Shi Shiran sat down.

Many candidates began to argue about Li Dong's point of view again.

"Brother, I didn't see it, you really ......"

Li Dongtou stepped aside, not wanting to discuss with Ma Zijun, who was excited on the side.

If you tell too many lies, you may believe it. Or, originally, he still has deep expectations for this country that he once hated so much. Looking at the possibility of a better, better, more peaceful, and free future, I can't help but feel a sense of wonder in my heart, and at the same time feel lost.

Li Dong couldn't help but wonder, could it be that all those painful experiences and bad lives in the past were just his bad luck, or that the country was slowly changing?

......

When it comes to the last picture, it's also the last exam question.

The photo is very simple, just a child, dressed in clothes, tightly curled into a ball, silently squatting in a small corner, with a pile of leftovers left there on the ground. The child stretched out his thin hand, picked up the dirty leftovers, and stuffed them into his mouth.

When Li Dong saw this photo, his pupils contracted, he took a deep breath, and unconsciously inserted the admission ticket first.

"Tick!"

The old examiner nodded at him and said, "Rykja Weike, please answer first." ”

"Oh!" Li Dong realized that he had inserted the admission ticket and began to answer the questions. Although it didn't match his original plan to make a move and be different, he didn't care much about it now.

"I only have one thing to say when I see this picture. Li Dong's lowered head was raised suddenly, and he said with a solemn face, "This is a shame for the whole country!"

After a short answer, Li Dong sat down heavily and pulled out the admission ticket in the magnetic card.

Ignoring the answers, everyone's reactions, and how the assessment was conducted, Li Dong supported his head with one hand and played with the admission ticket with the other, silently and lonely. The assessment of this second level feels uncomfortable. It's not good, it's a bad feeling. Many painful memories that should have been forgotten a long time ago suddenly came to his heart like a tidal wave, and he was caught off guard.

Take pity on my old heart, Li Dong patted his heart and sighed secretly. Those fragments of struggling when he was a child were never really forgotten at all, just like the wound of the past, he covered it tightly, trying to hide it, so that others could not see it, and one day he inadvertently lifted the gauze and looked at it, and it suppurated.

Unfolded his palms and looked at the scars in his palms, these were all scars before joining the army, but there was not even a new scar on his body after joining the army. It's a real irony. The scars, deep or shallow, deep, should have been visible at that time, and they were all engraved in his heart. Looking at those ugly scars, Li Dong thought, maybe I don't have to think about retiring from the second ancestor so early, I can still do something for those children like me.

......

At the end of the exam, unsurprisingly, the name Reykja Vik appeared on the big screen.

Li Dong passed the second hurdle of the Imperial College admissions exam!

Li Dong smiled faintly, if it was before, he would definitely shout happily, but now his heart is faintly dazed. Uncle Beard is not completely right, the second level of the Imperial Institute of Technology is not only a political investigation, but also a torture of conscience. The person who sets these questions does not need to be politically blind and angry, nor does he want to cultivate a politician who does things smoothly but does not consider the people and only considers his own interests, he needs a real politician, who is for the country and the people, does not compromise, does not blindly obey, has his own ideas, and at the same time can insist on fighting for what he thinks is the correct proposition.

Li Dong chuckled, Imperial College London really lived up to its reputation, just a small admissions exam, there were so many foreshadowings hidden. It seems that even if it is not to protect the princess and carry out the mission, he will enter this university and feel its charm.

The admission ticket was thrown one after another in his hand, and Li Dong walked towards the towering mecha room of the Imperial Institute of Technology with a figure-of-eight step.

The third level, the exam of mecha skills, is about to begin!
