In the midst of this intense work, six months passed again......

The whole society has been in a very tense state of work, remote negotiations, war mobilization, weapons production, everything has gone from a little chaos at the beginning to an orderly order, and half a million people have exploded into the greatest productivity ever!

The main theme of the war has not changed, and the working atmosphere inside the Earth Age spacecraft and the surface industrial base has always been relatively depressing, as if the time of war is about to break out.

However, what the common people don't know is that the remote negotiation with extraterrestrial civilizations has been ongoing......

For Wang Junpeng, it was a very difficult half a year. The quality of life of all people began to decline dramatically, almost returning to the state of hibernation, a large number of production lines were transferred to the development of weapons, and people were forced to live in poverty again......

Tightening your belt to produce a nuclear bomb is not just a mouthful, you must practice it, and you have to stick to it!

Wang Junpeng is even more miserable, others have bought war bonds, which is equivalent to having a future deposit and a little interest, and now he is living a little harder, and there is still hope for the future.

He's just penniless!

The speculation was a complete failure, and he became a complete pauper, his original savings had long since been used up, and he even owed a sum of money, although it was not too large......

In particular, in this situation of surging public opinion, there are a few guys who have braved the world's condemnation and resold things have been caught typically, and their heads have been broken inexplicably!

The government's punishment of the beaters was also painless, with a fine of money, 10 days of detention and then release, and won a lot of applause from the people.

There is even a "beating hero" program on the Internet, calling on people to donate money to bail out those who beat people.

If the government can gain enough external strength, then the internal noise will be insignificant.

The continuous development of new weapons and equipment, and the daily news reports, are stimulating people's hearts, enough to suppress the war-weariness because of the reduced quality of life.

There is no way to defeat the enemy head-on, and the people need a channel to vent, and of course the finger is pointed at the merchants who live in strange goods, and some people actually think that these merchants who hoard goods have caused the current phenomenon of poor quality of life......

At most, there are only a few experts who symbolically jump out to call for "doing a good job in legislative work" and "not being able to counter violence with violence", but they are just lip service......

What made Wang Junpeng happy was that he had donated all the hoarded living materials in advance, not only was he not beaten, but he also won a lot of applause and became a person with high morals.

Anyway, washing yourself is the only thing to be thankful for.

Including the once lost friendships are back. There is also the admiration of a beautiful girl......

When he recalls the process of finding a girlfriend, he has a very strange feeling. His girlfriend is in charge of infant and toddler education, but now the entire infant and toddler care program is delayed, so he can only become a community worker......

"How ...... I have become a generous person It's weird. ”

However, Wang Junpeng deeply knows that his character in front of others is completely fabricated, in case the other party knows, he once wanted to be a speculative businessman...... I shuddered instantly.

Moral nobility, fart!

If you don't have to, who wants to donate everything!

He patted himself on the head, and at that time...... Why is it suddenly brain-dead?

“…… Ah, that's great! ”

"The first atomic bomb is already being built! It's great that it will be able to detonate in another month! ”

"Great!"

Xu Jie is still as heartless as before, and he shouts there when he watches the news.

Wang Junpeng sighed, this old friend with a simple personality didn't dislike him, he shouldn't have betrayed himself, as for other insiders, it wasn't necessarily, maybe there were still broken thoughts behind it......

Now the speculation has failed, he is penniless, and the business in the mobile phone store is very poor, he is embarrassed to work here, and he can only do some chores in the community, such as supervising garbage classification, maintaining law and order, resolving neighborhood disputes, etc.

With such a simple job, the pay is bound to be very low.

Even if your girlfriend wants to drink a cup of milk tea, you have to think about it for a long time, but how can you survive?

It's not that he is greedy for material things, without material things, it is impossible to have a good life!

He's poor now!

"Hey, I said, Lao Peng, your brain is so smart, don't keep using it on crooked ways! There are people in the world who are smarter than you, and everyone is down-to-earth, so you better be honest......"

Xu Jie saw that he was thinking about it again, and persuaded him, "Our civilization is not the earth, how can there be so many loopholes to exploit?" With such a small population, a good reputation is really good! We have to work hard, and no one exploits us, so we get as much as we do, and there is nothing unfair about it......"

The business of the mobile phone repair shop is getting worse and worse, and Xu Jie has signed up for the training of the surface production team. Although the surface staff has been maintained at about 60,000, it is also rotated.

Anyway, as long as you are really willing to do it, the whole civilization will not worry about finding a job.

"Why don't you sign up for a training course too?"

"Hey, got it...... The most profitable things are written in the criminal law, do you think I'm stupid? Hey, the training course...... Let me think again. Wang Junpeng shook his head irritably.

As for whether he is the smartest person in the spaceship, he certainly not, even if he is narcissistic, he can't think so. Like Brother Yuan of the Ministry of New Civilization Development and Brother Dong of the Ministry of Information are all top smart people. He's just clever at best.

I don't dare to violate the crime or something...... Especially after finding a girlfriend, you have to maintain a noble image of morality!

Wang Junpeng just sighed and walked out of the room, wandering around the square in Area A, where there are often recruitment information from some companies, anyway, no matter how unwilling he is, he still has to find a job. It's so hard to start a business or something.

Life is like this, nine times out of ten, it doesn't go well. There is no so-called pride of heaven in this civilization, and there is no rich second generation, everyone has to be on the same starting line, and the only thing that can help is "knowledge" or "ability".

"Damn, you can't always rely on your brother for help, or eat a woman's soft rice...... No matter how you still have to be cheeky! ”

Suddenly, he saw a certain place crowded with people, all kinds of discussions and exchanges, it was very lively, and he hurriedly came over.

I glanced at it casually, and I thought it was a profession like recruiting soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Junpeng was dumbfounded.

“…… Recruiting Star Diplomats? ”

What's the situation?!

"Dude, what's going on with recruiting diplomats, you know?"

"It is said that there has been some progress in the negotiations between the enemy and us."

"What's going on?"

A fat man was talking: "It is impossible for us to directly eliminate the other party in a short period of time, and it is impossible for the other party to eliminate us in a short period of time." So...... It is still quite necessary to communicate with each other. ”

"If you don't want to fight, try not to fight......" Several people were discussing in a whisper, and Wang Junpeng's ears moved, listening to these words in his heart.

"But we don't even know what each other looks like."

"It is said to be a bit like a pangolin, with intelligence, and likes to hide underground. A group of interstellar diplomats needs to be trained to carry out the task of communicating with each other. ”

Just when everyone was talking, Zhang Yuan walked to the stage, cleared his throat, and solemnly announced this fact.

Several reporters stood in front of the stage for live broadcasting.

"First of all, I would like to say that negotiations with the Gliese civilization are indeed ongoing, and some diplomats are needed to investigate this civilization in depth. Even if the other side were to launch a nuclear bomb on us first, it would be unwise to wage a never-ending war without heavy losses......"

Wang Junpeng hurriedly raised his hand: "Huh? Brother Yuan, is it really like that? ”

"I feel so angry."

The people around all laughed, and many people on the Internet called Zhang Yuan "Brother Yuan", which can be said to be a naturally formed group of star chasers. The Earth Age has no entertainment stars, and it can only chase an alternative "star" like Zhang Yuan.

But it's okay to ridicule casually on the Internet, but in reality, it's a bit weird to call "Brother Yuan" in person...... They are high-ranking officials.

Wang Junpeng blushed, muttering in his heart: "This is not ...... Nervous? ”

Zhang Yuan didn't care about his name, and replied with a smile: "It's really relieving to retaliate against the other party, if you punch me, I will return the punch to you." But between civilizations and civilizations, it is not a fight between people, but a real war...... We can't afford not to die, right? We need to pay the price. ”

"The other party is not an animal in the forest, it can be killed with a single bullet, and we don't even know what the strength of the other party is."

"And the other side doesn't know what our strength is, so we will be in a delicate state of balance......"

"Okay." Wang Junpeng nodded, indicating that he could understand.

Zhang Yuan continued: "To get back to the point, this profession is bound to be risky, and there is a high demand for personal ability. Those who want to register will first take a round of written test, and after passing the results, they will also conduct two rounds of interviews. ”

"In the end, the number of places selected is about 20 people."

"Because there is no corresponding professional population in the spaceship, academic majors are not required for the time being...... But the most basic requirements are: good eloquence, good ability to adapt to changes, and know more about etiquette......"

Star Diplomat!

All of a sudden, the whole square was boiling!

Even people who watched the live broadcast on the Internet came to the square to sign up.

When the Earth Age had just set off, it was impossible to prepare for this profession.

After all, even earthlings have not been in contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, so where would they consider these things?

What's more, it's impossible to raise such an idle job in the spaceship. Before the accident, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was just a fictitious position, and there were no personnel in it!

But now, as if different, as negotiations continue, it is necessary to train some specialized diplomats to deal with this civilization.

"Dealing with alien civilizations, this thing...... Sounds interesting...... Like, it's okay. Just thinking about it, Wang Junpeng's heart was beating faster and faster.

First of all, the job is really very much in line with his career needs.

Interstellar diplomat, it's big enough to say it, you should be able to cover up your own stains, and it's definitely enough to coax your little girlfriend.

The second aspect is that the work is really interesting and interesting! The salary should also be high enough.

In the face of all kinds of strange creatures, there will definitely be a little danger, but ...... This kind of challenge and fun is not comparable to ordinary work.

Compared with the danger and the benefits gained, Wang Junpeng was silent for a moment and thought for a few seconds.

Done!

The whole written test and interview process was quite smooth, and the test was more about adaptability and eloquence.

According to Wang Junpeng's ingenuity, he was not able to catch it yet, and he quickly stood out from many players.

What he is most worried about is whether the stain of trying to resell things by himself will hinder his job search, that is, whether the political review process can be passed. Although at that time, he used multiple ID cards, but if the government really wanted to track it down, it would definitely be able to find out......

He will not underestimate the so-called big data system, although he Wang Junpeng is smart, he does not dare to say that he can hide this powerful AI ......

"So...... Please answer the last few questions. This work is bound to be dangerous, and none of us have ever been in contact with aliens, and none of us know what the customs or ideas are to deal with. ”

"Maybe it's the other side's custom to eat diplomats?"

"What do you think of this danger?"

The interviewer for the last round of interviews was Zhang Yuan, and he was quite satisfied with this clever young man.

Several experts around were holding a form and secretly discussing something. Under the tracking of the big data system, it is easy to trace what a person has done.

Including the first person who ate the crab of "repairing old mobile phones", and then to the later large-scale purchase of supplies, trying to resell ......

However, this stain is not a big deal, anyway, in Zhang Yuan's opinion, it is quite acceptable, at most it can only be regarded as a little clever.

Judging from Wang Junpeng's decision to donate all the materials, this person's timing is very accurate, he can always be one step ahead of others, and he is quite decisive.

Anyway, there are disadvantages and advantages, so it's acceptable.

Wang Junpeng didn't know about these private discussions, and in the face of such a tricky question, he thought for a few seconds and said eloquently: "Danger and opportunity are always proportional, and the position of a diplomat is equivalent to an upright spy." Although it is dangerous, if the ability is enough, all kinds of information obtained are more important than the production of a few nuclear bombs! ”

"For me personally, I really enjoy the challenge. And, I love the glory that comes with this position......"

"As for what you said, in case the other side has a custom of eating diplomats...... I don't think there's anything to worry about this kind of risk. ”

"Why? Because under the same circumstances, we are considering the other side's cultural customs, and the other side will inevitably consider our cultural customs, and our civilization thinks that eating the other party's diplomats is an extremely bad or even war-provocative behavior, what will the other side think? ”

"If in this case, the other side still insists on eating us diplomats, then it means that there are two situations, the first is that the other party's civilization is extremely conceited and narcissistic, trying to impose its own values on other civilizations, this civilization is extremely dangerous in my opinion, and there is no need for communication at all. If a diplomat dies, it can only be regarded as a vain death. ”

"Second, the other party's intelligence is very inferior, and he can't think of these things. They were too stupid to think of the consequences of eating a diplomat. ”

"I think these two possibilities, in terms of the information available, are very low. The intelligence of those Gliezers is high, so there is no need to worry. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, and asked again: "So, when the negotiations between the two sides break down and civilization goes to war, what will you choose when you are faced with a certain death situation?" ”

"I ......" Wang Junpeng originally wanted to make a reason and make a generous statement, but at the last moment, he still said honestly: "The first is to find a way to survive, hoping that civilization can save me." ”

"If you really can't survive, then choose to let more people survive...... Returning the last hand of information, as it should be, there is no other more thought. ”

"Good!" Zhang Yuan nodded, "Remember your choice today." Nothing, wait for the notification......"

Seeing Wang Junpeng leave the room, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, this guy can be said to be the most satisfactory type among this batch of interviewers. Other people will always have more shortcomings, either they are not very articulate, or they are easy to be shy and blush, etc., or they are a little naïve......

Yes, innocence is the biggest problem, the humanistic environment of the Earth Age, there is not too much dark side, plus the astronauts recruited at the beginning are all young people, where are there messy unspoken rules and the like, resulting in the edges and corners of the people are more distinct. There aren't many people who are slick like that.

The reason why it is so urgent to recruit a group of diplomats is because ......

This Gliese civilization will soon send a group of alien diplomats to the Earth Age spaceship!
