As a student, Lynch was already quite wealthy, and the dean directly rewarded him with 500,000 ISK. His current fortune has reached 950,000 ISK, not counting the rewards that the academy has postponed.

At the Dean's place, Lynch learns about the wormhole survival plan, which makes him find it somewhat interesting. Wormholes are a great place to make a fortune, both from minerals and materials from hibernators (Note 1) to make people rich overnight. But he wasn't sure if there were hibernators in this real world, and needless to say, the original owner of this body wouldn't know if there were.

The dean told him that the survival plan was a real battle. The target of the battle is an unknown number of drone broods dropped by the Republican fleet in the wormhole. The mission is to find all the broods and destroy all the drones.

Obviously, the wormhole that is being planned will be searched inside and out by the Republican fleet, and it is unlikely that there will be hibernators. Moreover, this wormhole survival plan is only the beginning of the actual combat plan, and the dean clearly stated that the commanders are all students of the academy, and there will be no large-tonnage heavy firepower ships such as battleships in the fleet.

Without the support of battleships, there is only one word for hibernators: death.

However, if there is a T2 ship, it will work. He was eager to ask the Dean if there were any second-level technology ships, such as the Rover-class (upgraded Assassin), or stealth special ships produced by Mimatar such as Hound and Cheetah. Anyway, he didn't have anything to search for from the star field market, not even all the satellite mines, equipment and materials related to satellite reactions.

But he couldn't speak, because once the real world was really only T1 technology, he wouldn't be able to explain where he learned about these T2 ships.

He chose to hide himself, at least until he rose to power.

Whatever, follow the big army, honestly complete the task, and work hard to make money and grow is the right way. After all, there are no clones in this world, and everything is wiped out when they die.

The relationship with Britney also went nowhere, and he asked Grant to ask Grant out two more times, both times when Britney politely declined. Lynch couldn't help but guess that on the day of the exchange center, the two girls knew him and deliberately teased him.

Three days later, he received an ISK award from the academy and an offer of enrollment to follow the new students to the Republican Fleet Commander's Training Academy in the Pardor system the following year.

Also receiving the message were Grant, Russo, and Britney. Russo was excited, and allocated another 100,000 ISK to Lynch, saying that the family was very happy, and it was his father's suggestion that everyone make good friends and help each other in the future.

Lynch currently has 1.55 million ISK on his account, which was a trivial number in a previous life, but in the real world it is already remarkable. He originally wanted to give half of the academy reward and the dean's reward to Grant, but Grant resolutely refused, saying that he would definitely live well with Lynch in the future, and he really didn't dare to accept the money he didn't contribute.

Lynch also got him.

Before taking the Academy Shuttle to Pardor to participate in the Wormhole Project, Lynch called Russo to dinner with him, and of course Grant, out of friendliness.

"Brother Russo, there's something I need to tell you. Tomorrow I'm going to participate in the Republican Fleet's wormhole survival program......"

"What?!" Russo jumped up and said in surprise: "Brother Lynch, can you go to participate in that plan?" ”

"Questions?" Lynch was a little furious by his reaction.

"Of course not! Hahahaha, this is a great joy, brother, you will definitely have a bright future in the future, this ...... This one...... Don't forget my friend, hehe! ”

Lynch secretly thought that he would have a bright future, and he said, "This is it. To be honest, I wasn't prepared to tell anyone. But Brother Russo, you're rich...... Of course, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are very upright and trust me unconditionally, so I feel that I should not not tell you. Well, would you like to join Grant as my assistant? ”

Russo sat down, and the last sentence immediately made him jump up in excitement and almost overturn the table.

"Dude...... Are you telling the truth? Would you like me to participate in the Wormhole Survival Program as an assistant? Grant was a little incoherent.

"Of course, I'm just asking if you're willing?"

"Ahh Wowha, 10,000 willing, brother, thank you so much! That one...... Oh yes, bro, wait, wait a minute, I'll get Dad to transfer ISK right away, it's a must! With that, Russo pulled out his account card and prepared to contact his father.

"Don't!"

Lynch grabbed his wrist and stopped him from texting.

"What's wrong? Brother, this ......"

Lynch pushed him back into his seat and said solemnly: "I said Brother Russo, we are out of morality!" Don't always talk about ISK, to be honest, I really don't look down on these tens of millions. Hehe, don't think I'm bragging, anyway, I'm willing to go, go home and say home, tomorrow we'll go to Padol together. ”

"That's right......" Russo thought to himself, "then...... Oh man, I'm sure I'm willing, no problem at all, but you don't suffer too much, don't you? ”

Lynch glanced at him and said, "What do you lose?" If I need ISK, I'm going to tell you directly, isn't it? The number of places in the wormhole survival plan, how many ISK one. We're straight-to-go people, right, Grant? ”

"Huh?" Grant heard someone calling him, and suddenly looked up, still with an inexplicable smile on his face, "Call me?" What's the matter? ”

Seeing that the two of them looked at him very unkindly, and then looked at the account card he was communicating with, Grant scratched his head and said aggrievedly: "That...... That ......"

Lynch laughed, didn't care about him, knowing that this thing had money on him, he finally mustered up the courage to start pursuing the jade man in his heart.

"Anyway, that's it, Brother Russo, go back in the evening and give me a letter of approval, and then go directly to the academy spaceport during class time tomorrow morning."

"Okay, okay!" Russo nodded repeatedly, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Brother, what about the girl you like?" What's it called? She's going too, right? ”

That's too straightforward, right, do you like that? Haven't you been dating yet?

Lynch shook his head and said, "I didn't inform her, no matter what, the wormhole is dangerous." ”

......

Of course, Russo's side is fine. Early the next morning, Lynchgrant and Russo boarded the college shuttle and headed for the Pardor system.

In the dean's office, Cole said: "There are a few boys who are eyeing Lynch, and we have found that it should be instructed by the Oak family, do you want to ......?"

The dean waved his hand, "No need, as long as Lynch is not in real danger, there is no need to meddle in such a trivial matter." Not...... I'll also go to Padol later. ”

"How?"

The dean sighed: "Alas, this time is a bit troublesome, the son of the vice marshal of the Republic Fleet Metterberry Star Field happens to be in the list of plans this time. ”

"What's the trouble with this? Are you worried that he will oppress Lynch? ”

"What is there to oppress for no reason." The dean shook his head and said: "I'm worried, the news of the 'nail' sent to us by the Republican Bureau will be for the wormhole survival plan, and the target will be the son of the deputy marshal!" ”

"You mean......" Cole was taken aback, and then wondered, "That should be at the Commander Training Academy of Pardor, why did you come to our Enumak system?" ”

"How do you know that Padol doesn't have a 'nail'? Moreover...... The planned wormhole is not in Pador, but in the Amo system of our constellation! ”

......

Lynch asked the dean about bringing an assistant in advance, and received a positive answer. But what he never expected was that Kadia was also on the shuttle!

He wanted to go up and say a few words, but the look in Kadia's eyes was so cold that it was devouring. Lynch was furious, he didn't understand what this girl meant, and he didn't feel that he had offended her from beginning to end. That assistant qualification was originally Lynch's own right, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.

It's cold and cold, and it's good to be safe.

The Pardol system is Mimatar's military powerhouse, with a security level of 1.0, and there are only two of the five space stations in this system: the Republican Fleet and the Republican Security Agency.

The members of the Wormhole Survival Project are all docked at Space Station 5, which belongs to the Republican Fleet's Logistics Support Department. As soon as they got off the shuttle, a floating car pulled the students from the military academy to a building complex. Each person has a separate room, and each room is much larger and more luxurious than Lynch's "ghetto". They also obtained a time-sensitive, one-way communicator to receive coordinated commands from the space station.

Over the past few days, Lynch has been thinking a lot about the shuttle, thinking about all the possibilities in the wormhole, so he goes to bed early.

On the second day, Lynch finally met the "future elite" of the republican fleet, not counting the instructors, a total of about 130 people, and the fleet only had 30 warships. He estimated that these extra people were assistants to the commanders of various warships.

"Greetings, commanders, I'm Colonel Wirther of the Republican Fleet's Logistics Support Department. Next, I will introduce you to the details of this wormhole survival plan. ”

In the conference room, which can accommodate 100 people, Colonel Wirther, dressed in military uniform, sat alone on the rostrum, with a serious expression. With his opening remarks, a delicate and deep tactical map of the galaxy appeared in the light curtain behind him.

"For the sake of secrecy, you will not know which system this wormhole is in, and the ships acquired by each of your commanders will be set to uncontrollable mode before entering the wormhole, and will be led by the fleet flagship throughout the journey (Note 2). Once you enter the wormhole, the control system will be unlocked. Please note that the following words are very important. ”

Colonel Wirther said this, stood up, walked to the edge of the table, and swept his gaze away from each one, as if to see everyone clearly.

"Once in the wormhole, all of your warships will be cut off from the outside world, and the range of communication will only be fleet members. The actions of each of your ships will not be governed by the laws of the Republic! In other words, if you attack each other, or even your fellow escape pods, it will not be considered illegal! You can choose to go your own way, or you can choose to follow the flagship. All of your actions, on a basis that would not be found illegal, will be graded by the Republican Fleet's Project Committee. The scoring criterion is basically the degree of contribution to the process of destroying the enemy in the battle. For example, if a single ship destroys an enemy ship and survives itself – of course, the enemy ship is a drone that we dropped in advance – it will be rated 5-10 points, while a two-ship team, or 30 of your ships working together to annihilate a drone, will also be rated 5-10 points for each ship. As for how to interpret the example I have given, it is up to you to imagine. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask questions. ”

"Tick".

The audience was silent, except for Lynch, who turned on the speech indicator light.
