Chapter 557 Applying
I don't want to be angry here, so I go home and enjoy it.
In this era of the proliferation of robots, it is really interesting that the Fox Research Base actually hires humans as janitors. In fact, many research institutions are reluctant to believe in robots, because robots are probably the most unreliable race in the world.
The chip in the robot's head will be troublesome if it is obtained by the enemy. Of course, the current level of technology can also extract memories from the human brain, but the human brain often fantasizes about it, and the extracted memories are very messy, so they are far more reliable than robots.
In general, the Fox Research Base is well paid, and the job of the janitor is only to guard the gate, and maybe to control the robot as a porter once a month, but it is usually quite leisurely, although there are not many holidays, but with a lot of money, anyone is willing to work hard.
Of course, Fox Research Base is very demanding for mercenaries, with a completely militarized process that requires hires to be able to fight and have excellent radial and motor nerves.
"I'm sorry, Mr. West 173, I've kept you waiting, let's start the interview.
The head of the base's personnel department smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal the young man in front of him to sit down.
West sat down on the cold alloy chair with a blank expression, and the inside of the chair had a chill inside, and it didn't feel good to sit on.
The ice chair is the first test, and many interviewers today have their files thrown directly into the trash by the Smiling Tiger supervisor because of a slight frown or an inappropriate complaint.
"Very well, we are efficient in our work at the Fox Research Base, and we need qualified veterans, not soldiers." The smiling tiger flipped the light screen at will, in fact, he is also a retired soldier, and it is not easy to climb to today's position, so every time the base recruits him, he has to check at all levels to avoid cats, dogs, and four mixed in.
"Report sir, although I am not a regular soldier, I am confident that I will be tested by you and the base." West looked serious, as if he was doing a military exercise.
"Oh? Why do you call me sir? Am I like a soldier? The smiling tiger looked at the young student with a stiff expression with interest.
"Sir, your sitting posture and boots reveal you, and although you try to be as lazy as possible, every muscle of your body is naturally on alert, as only an officer who has been on duty all year round. Also, your boots are meticulously polished, I don't think a sedentary senior person would wear boots, you should train from time to time to do that, report it. West replied one at a time, as if he had a will of steel condensed in him, and no matter how critical he looked, he would retreat when he saw this posture.
"Hehe, yes, very carefully observed, worthy of a mecha sniper." The smiling tiger nodded, very satisfied with West's performance, but this interview included a lot of content, and even a psychological test, and if you want to get a high salary, you must have the ability to match.
In a flash of light, West's resume and identification were listed, and even a battle log.
"West, I've looked at your resume, and it's pretty good. By the way, you used to serve under Veah, don't look at me like that. Via may be a general in the eyes of you big-headed soldiers, but he is nothing more than a lieutenant from the Second Galactic Army. Hahaha, he is still far from the general, and since you have retired, then I wonder why you left Viya's troops? The smiling tiger was very powerful, and he turned to the heart of the problem, knowing that West's physical examination was all normal, and it was almost impossible for a young officer with a great future to leave the army.
West lowered his head and suddenly said, "Sir, can you let me smoke a cigarette?" ”
"Okay, I'd like to hear your story." The smiling tiger actually agreed to this request, and the reason why he ranked West last for the interview was not because he was deliberately difficult, but because he had some expectations.
In fact, from the moment West walked through the Eighth Recruitment Hall, the light brain had already monitored his psychological quality. The more unambitious and willing to wait, the better the chances of getting hired, and it's clear that West has done an excellent job of this.
After a few moments, West exhaled a faint green smoke and slowly recounted, "Sir, to be honest, I don't want to leave my comrades, nor the troops I fought for, but a battle more than two months ago made me experience death. ”
"Death? Is it a near-death experience? The smiling tiger's face was stunned, and his expression showed a bit of solemnity.
Near-death experiences (near-death experiences) are a special kind of reaction when people encounter danger, and they gain unusual feelings in terms of perception and emotion, such as feeling a change in time, looking back on life, feeling unusually peaceful, euphoric, and even "aware of death".
It can be said that each feeling is unique to each individual, and may appear at the same time, without universality. Individual perceptions also often vary depending on age and culture.
Ninety-nine out of 1 soldiers will have a nervous breakdown and die directly, but once they survive, they will be self-sublimated, and it is easy to make a breakthrough in combat ability.
With melancholy in his eyes, West continued his narrative: "Yes, exactly the NDE. At that moment of passing death, many images suddenly appeared in my mind, including the past that I had never wanted to face in my heart.
I sneaked out of Ma Ningxing more than ten years ago, and I did the next wrong thing at that time. After losing a fortune from gambling, I sold the mycelium that I had carefully cared for at home to outsiders, which dashed the little hope that everyone had ever had for survival.
I don't know how many people starved to death in the 25th settlement, I don't know how much my family suffered, all I could do was to evade my responsibilities. However, two months ago, when I was faced with death, I finally realized that I couldn't die like this, so I survived with a strong will.
In that battle, General Via suffered a great loss, and we 481 people were finally ransomed.
I kept thinking about the days I was in the hospital bed, could I just live a life in a mess?
If I were still a man, I would have to return to my hometown to atone for my actions, so I secretly bribed the medical officer, lied about my physical condition, and returned to Maningxing last month to help the villagers restore the 25th settlement.
More than ten years have passed, and the 25th settlement of the 3rd Equatorial Division is in ruins. During this time, I used up almost all my pension, and although the reconstruction work was successful, it was far from what I expected, and I hope to get more people to help them live and work in peace, which is why I came out to look for a job. ”
"Good boy, dare to act, although it sounds like your confession is a little late, but it is a man to return to this land where you were born and raised. Okay, you go back first, wait for news in three days, I will verify your situation according to the process, don't work as a doorman, as long as you perform well, you can get a salary increase at any time. Hehe, what do I say about this, admission or not depends on the results of the investigation. The smiling tiger got up to see him off, much to West's flattery.
This interview may seem brief, but in fact, Fox Research Base has already received the information it wants, and as for the verification, it is the business of the relevant departments, and the head of the personnel department is only responsible for narrowing down the list of suitable candidates.
West returned to Settlement 25, and in just over a month he had become mayor of the town in the minds of fifty-eight people.
Every day, the town square will play the soap opera that the residents of the metropolis are tired of watching, but this is a fantastic treat for the disabled and the elderly and weak women and children who were in danger just a little more than a month ago.
The horn of the hovering truck sounded from far and near, and everyone immediately gathered around, no matter what mistakes West had made more than ten years ago, West had indeed saved them today.
There is no one who does not love life, no one does not want to live well, after the days of wandering in the ruins, the fifty-eight residents of the town cherish the present life even more, so they work diligently every day to care for the hard-won fruits of labor.
Whenever the residents see the mycelium growing in the fungus field, their hearts are unprecedentedly full, and every time a small building is built in the town, they are indescribably happy, this is happiness.
"The mayor is back, go and ask how it turned out." Young and old, most of them disabled, would have died without West.
"Everybody's here! The recruitment results will come out in three days, but I have brought you some gifts, and after spending this money, the mayor of the town will become a poor egg, but if you persist for a month and a half, I believe that the fungus farm can create a little profit for us, at least you don't have to go hungry. West grinned, his grim face smiling more kindly.
"Wow, look, I can't believe my eyes, is this a gift for us?" A few young men screamed, crippled in their bloody lives, while the truck was loaded with custom-made mechanical prosthetics.
"That's right, the order I placed half a month ago, you will be healthier and healthier, and you will never have to worry about physical disabilities from now on." West waved his arm vigorously, unaware that there was another face hidden beneath his resolute face, his true identity as the captain of the Phantom, the commander of the Celestial Fleet, Lincisso.
With the mechanical prosthetics and high-tech replacement organs, the residents hugged each other and cried bitterly, as West said, they would live better, they could finally get rid of the shadow in their hearts, raise their chests and be real people.
The joy was short-lived, and the next day after Linciso waited for the job posting, a car drove into the twenty-fifth settlement from the tunnel that had not yet been cleared.
