Chapter 184: Reaching the Light Star
Hopefully, the academy is not in any empire, so it is relatively far away, so it does not admit students once a year like other colleges, but once every five years.
Don't forget, Su Xuan had heard Zhou Liang say that this Hope Academy was the organization of the Holy Land of Mankind. It is one of the institutions of its subordinate organization, the underworld. This is a gathering place for many geniuses' dreams, and if you want to enter here, you can't do it if you are rich and powerful, of course, having money and power has a great advantage, that is, it is easier to cultivate geniuses, and the possibility of entering will be much greater. But if you think that if you have money and you can enter without passing the assessment, then you are thinking too much.
You can successfully enter with an artifact, but you definitely can't enter without taking the assessment, and it's relatively fair for everyone here. If you have a particularly good performance, you can also make an exception to enter, and this is the Hope Academy, where everything is possible.
Zhao Qianqian's family is so powerful, and it is not that she can enter if she wants to, but Zhao Qianqian's current strength makes it very likely that she will succeed in entering.
It wasn't the first time Su Xuan had heard others mention Hope Academy, but he was still very excited. The Hope Academy is a bit similar to the Martial Academy of the Huaxia Empire, mainly cultivating the strong, and the training is not very good for ships, mechanics and the like. And the reason why the Martial Academy of the Chinese Empire is the first is because the Martial Academy transports the most people each time.
Su Xuan was also a little moved, but he knew that it was not so easy to enter. Hope College has a strict assessment system, and those who can't pass the assessment will not want it even if they give more money. Therefore, his pressure is very high, because his current strength at the level of a general, there is no guarantee that he will pass all the tests, and the strength that wants to be promoted to the level of commander within two years is not lower than the difficulty coefficient of his strength from knowing nothing to now.
In the next few days, Zhao Qianqian didn't show up, maybe it was to give Su Xuan a little motivation, or maybe she didn't want to have any parting ties, until Su Xuan left, she didn't show up.
"Alright, it's time for the light star."
When they arrived at Guangxing, someone came to report to Su Xuan and the others, but Zhao Qianqian still didn't come, which inevitably made Su Xuan a little disappointed.
"Miss, are you really not going to take a look?"
On the sky-hung window of the spaceship, looking at Su Xuan who was slowly leaving, Zhao Qianqian also looked sullen. Hearing the fat woman's inquiry, she sighed and said, "I have already told him that I will enter the Hope Academy in two years, and if he wants to find me, he will definitely try to enter the Hope Academy, and I believe he will be able to do it." What's the use of going out now if he doesn't want to get in, so wait until two years later. I also want to work hard to get into Hope Academy as soon as possible. ”
The fat woman also knew the difficulty of getting into the Hope Academy, and couldn't help asking, "What if, I mean, if he can't get in?"
Hope Academy is very difficult to get into, you can't be admitted with confidence, even if you are a lot of strong people at the level of commanders, they don't have the certainty of being admitted to the tenth layer. Let's take the fat woman as an example, she had applied for the exam before, and it was at the level of commander at that time, but because of the unstable foundation, she was still brushed down. So she knows very well how difficult it is.
Zhao Qianqian didn't speak, because she knew that if Su Xuan couldn't even get over this, then he wouldn't be worthy of pursuing her at all, because various conditions didn't allow it. She is not the kind of little girl who can abandon everything for love, thinking that only in this way can it be considered true love. That's only in TV dramas, and she can't do it anyway, she has too many bonds. And because she is too smart, she has already fallen into it, if she wants to quit the Zhao family, the Zhao family will definitely not take care of the bloodline, and those ancestors will not agree.
Seeing that Zhao Qianqian didn't want to answer, the fat woman didn't continue to ask, but just stood beside Zhao Qianqian respectfully and accompanied her in a daze.
I got off the ship and stood on the spaceport. Su Xuan looked back, he always felt that something was staring at him. But the spaceship was too big, so there was nothing to discover, so I could only follow Zhou Liang and walk forward. As for the ship, it may have to be resupplied here, so it didn't set off immediately.
The space port of the light star is the largest port that Su Xuan has ever seen, at least so far, and the area of the light star, from a distance, is also very large, it is not an exaggeration to say that the area of the entire light star is at least ten times the size of the ink ball star, or even dozens of times the size. The whole planet looks white, I heard that it is a very ordinary kind of soil here, it is this color, reflected in the sunlight, so it looks a bit like a glowing planet, hence the name of the light star.
Outside of the light star, there are four satellites that orbit the light star in a regular manner. The largest of them is about the size of the Ink Ball Star. On top of these satellites, bases have also been established, mainly transit stations and warehouses, and of course, one satellite is a military base, and that satellite is not allowed to be approached casually.
The light star is the outermost planet of the Mechanical Academy, and the light star is also a planet that the empire focuses on protecting, so it is very common to station troops.
Don't underestimate the Huaxia Imperial Mechanical Academy, these armies are just maintaining the lowest order, don't think that in this star field, only this point is armed, in fact, the air combat potential in this star field is much stronger than many key fortresses, and it is not something that one or two fleets can break.
Don't forget where this is, it's all the mechanical geniuses of the Chinese Empire. Although in terms of cultivating strong people, the Mechanical College is not as good as the Hope College. But in terms of cultivating a single mechanic, the Mechanical Academy is only a little weaker than the Mechanical Academy of the Super American Empire, but it can be said to be second at least.
Maybe everyone knows the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon, but everyone always ignores who developed the Star Killer Cannon, and where it was created, and then it was transported away. Then I'll tell you now, the Star Destroyer Cannon was transported away at the Mechanical Academy. Moreover, the development of the star-destroying cannon was mostly completed by the Institute of Mechanics. As for the principle, no one knows, because it is an imperial secret, and only a few people know about it.
In addition to the Star Destroyer Cannon, there are also independent weapons research and development centers here, and not one or two, but many. Almost every planet has ten or eight. Moreover, the empire's four-tier weapon research and development patents are all from this academy, which makes it very scary when you think about it, so there is no shortage of weapons here at all.
And there are also requirements for students here to graduate, that is, they can develop their own spaceship alone or with a companion during their time in school. It should not only be developed reasonably, but also conform to a professional perspective. So the number of ships per capita here is the highest in the Empire. Therefore, if you conduct an air battle, you can have as many warships as there are students. One or two fleets simply cannot be an opponent.
Moreover, there are many strange weapons in the academy, and there are no weapons that have been put into production at all. In order to stimulate students' creativity, there is a patent application center in the college. As long as you can develop a weapon that has never appeared before, you can apply to the R&D center to help you do it. If the weapon is qualified, it will be taken to the patent center to apply for a patent.
If the patent application is successful, all tuition fees will be waived for the students studying at the school, and they will also receive a creation prize, ranging from 5 million to 1 billion. And the empire will also help you find a manufacturer, if any manufacturer thinks it is possible, it will come to you to negotiate and carry out mass production. You'll get a good profit.
If the cost of the developed weapon is too high, but there is a special ability, but some manufacturers feel that they can't make money, then don't worry, the previous rewards are available, and the state will acquire patents, anyway, the inventor will not suffer a big loss. But there are risks, if you research something that has already been developed, but only the appearance changes, and there is no substantial change, although you will not be punished, but you will not be rewarded. And all the R&D costs can only be borne by yourself.
The reason for impunity is also very simple. The mechanical principles are almost the same, but some people have already studied them, but they are generally not released to the outside world for the sake of secrecy, so the possibility of being developed twice, three, or even four times is very high, after all, there are too many students. If it involves a secret weapon, the state may focus on protecting you, or even give priority to hiring you, but will not give you a patent, after all, it has been applied for by others, and you can only be regarded as a talent in this field.
In addition, there are a lot of rich people in the Mechanical Academy, and there are some rich people who are very well-known in the Human Alliance, and even have been on the rich list, which makes many people envious.
There used to be students of the School of Mechanics, when they were in school for four years, after developing the laser cannon curve ejection technology, the laser cannon weapons on many warships have made a qualitative leap, the launch speed is 500% faster than before, and the energy storage is also much earlier, which has been promoted by the entire human race, and this technology has also been used on the warships of various countries, and as a result, this unknown student has immediately become a billionaire. I heard that the current achievement is very remarkable, and he is only one step away from being promoted to a grandmaster-level mechanic, which is the dream of many people, but it really happened to a student, so it has to be surprising. It has become the goal of many people.
