Chapter 2 The Way Forward
"Hoo ......"
The boy adjusted his breath and picked up the backpack he had already prepared. There is a long way to go.
Lin Hao walked out of the house and looked at the slender straight line that reached the sky in the distance. That "straight line" is the "ladder" that leads directly to the space station that orbits the earth, and at the same time, it is also the destination of this trip.
In the year 1000 of the solar calendar, people called it the first year of the new yuan according to the name of the Common Era.
…… During the Common Era, human beings began to use existing technological reserves to open up living space in the universe and actively search for extraterrestrial civilizations. These projects were costly and had little initial success. But as time passed, the significance of engineering to explore outer space began to emerge......
It was the morning, and the morning sun was shining, dispelling the chill of early winter. Breathing in the cold air, Lin Hao walked out.
"Hey...... Hao, let's leave today......"
As soon as I arrived at the door, I was stopped by Uncle Zhang, who was serving the vegetable field next door.
"Ah...... Good morning, Grandpa! Lin Hao smiled, "I'm twelve years old now, and I can go to the academy's assessment!" There is not much time left before the assessment starts, so sooner rather than later! ”
…… With the technical assistance of extraterrestrial intelligent civilizations, humanity was able to extend its colonial tentacles to the entire solar system in a very short period of time. The beginning of the Common Era became the solar year.
As the power continues to grow, the contradictions between the colonies continue to intensify...... After a very similar historical process in human history, a new interstellar social order centered on the Federation of Systems began to be established......
Uncle Zhang poured the vegetables unhurriedly, although the supply of grain and vegetables is now not limited to the land, he still likes the fulfillment brought by labor.
"You're going to Artemis?" Uncle Zhang stopped watering the vegetables.
"I decided a long time ago." Something flickered in Lin Hao's eyes. Unconsciously, the image of the milky white pillar of light running through the "Crystal Snow Wings" passed through his mind again.
"Oh...... Xiaolin, he didn't come......"
Lin Hao smiled bitterly: "It's still the same." Grandpa, it's okay, I'll just go by myself. ”
…… In order to expand their strength, each colony has developed its own legions. As the first star of human exploration, the moon naturally has incomparable advantages over other planets. In recent years, the Moon's unique armament, the Quicksilver Legion, has even faintly surpassed the first legion of the solar system, the Halberd Legion.
The short conversation ended quickly. After learning that Lin Hao was going to participate in Artemis's entrance examination, Uncle Zhang had no words to say and concentrated on watering vegetables.
Everybody knows that.
Joining a clan means subsidy.
It means a better life, it means privilege, it means glory!
The Flowing Silver Legion, how powerful! Artemis, how glorious!
The headquarters of the Legion is located on the Moon, and the development of the Legion is entirely based on the Moon. Where do the new soldiers come from every year? There is no doubt that Artemis graduates make up the vast majority.
Artemis, a military academy located on the moon. Founded at the beginning of the establishment of the Solar System Federation, it is known as the Earth-like Double Star College along with the Apollo College on Mars.
The fame of the college also means that the admission conditions are harsh. However, he is already 12 years old, and he is in the transition period between childhood and adolescence, which meets the minimum age limit for college admissions.
Walk along the street at the door and you will soon reach the nearest station. As the sun rises, so does the crowd. Lin Hao couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Soon, Lin Hao saw the projection light curtain suspended in mid-air at the station, as well as some boys and girls about fifteen or sixteen years old who were waiting in the hall early. Not surprisingly, they will soon become competitors of their own. Lin Hao took a look at these future "competitors" again, and there were really no generals.
"Even so, you can't be timid." Lin Hao tried to calm himself down. After all, it's the first time I've come, and I'm young, so I'm naturally a little uneasy. After passing the inspection, sitting on the soft seats in the waiting hall and smelling the warm and fragrant breeze in the waiting hall, Lin Hao's mood improved a lot.
Ah, by the way, even in the relatively peaceful Artemis, there are casualties among the students!
So in order to increase your chances of successfully passing the assessment, you must reduce your competitors! The number of students enrolled is limited!
Other words......
Lin Hao looked back at the teenagers who participated in the assessment together. I found that one of them was also staring at him. The point is, that gaze doesn't look friendly. People like this must be more vigilant! Maybe you will be plotting against yourself during the assessment!
Thinking about it, Lin Hao took off the bag on his back and hugged the bag tightly to his chest.
"Hey! Brothers! What's in the bag? It's weirdly tight...... "Leng Buding slapped one hand on his shoulder, and then a gentle face came over, and before he could see what his specific facial features looked like, the smell of fragrance entered his nose. That's not the point, the point is that this person's gentle face obviously doesn't match the unhappy look in his eyes just now.
Lin Hao glanced at him coldly and said, "It's nothing, it's just some clothes." Also, this classmate, please take your hands away, the smell of your body chokes me. ”
The person in front of him was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his dark green hair was very eye-catching. It was early winter, and this man was still wearing a thin coat. Obviously, he was staring at himself unkindly just now, but now he came to talk to him with an innocent face.
"What do you say, brother! Who still goes to school now! Master's trip is to enter Artemis! Joining the Flowing Silver Army and making contributions is the ultimate goal of the master!! The man actually squirted as he spoke, "This little brother is also going to participate in the assessment!" Exactly, together! Seeing that you are not very old, call me Brother Xiao! ”
Before Lin Hao could answer, the sound of air flow friction and engine was heard in the air, and then, a gentle and sweet female voice sounded in the waiting hall: "Dear passengers, the air levitation train to the 'Ladder to Heaven' has entered the station, please prepare to board the train......"
Before Lin Hao could speak, "Brother Xiao" had already grabbed his arm and rushed out, leaving only the voice to stay in place.
"Alright! Stop grinding, let's go!! ”
