Dragged out of the bar by Catherine, the two found a quieter coffee house and sat down opposite each other.

The lights in the café are dim, there are not too many people, not too little, most of them are young couples.

After sitting down, Catherine asked for two cups of coffee, she seemed to be in a good mood, took a few sips of coffee, and couldn't wait to say: "Jiang Ping, tell you a good news, do you want to hear it?" ”

Jiang Ping glanced at her and asked lightly, "What's the good news?" ”

Catherine said excitedly: "My paper was published by Interstellar Association and Exploration Weekly!" ”

When Jiang Ping heard this, he was very surprised. Interstellar Association and Exploration Weekly is an authoritative academic journal sponsored by the Federal Academy of Sciences, it is not easy to publish papers on it, which basically represents the latest research trends and achievements of academic research, and the gold content and academic value of the papers published on it are beyond doubt.

He didn't expect that Catherine's paper would be published on interstellar association and exploration.

After a pause, he asked, "But what article about the relationship between Wang Hengxing's animal evolution and that pale blue microbe?" ”

Catherine nodded, and said excitedly: "Not only that, because of the publication of this article, I also received an invitation from the Federal Academy of Sciences to be an intern researcher!" ”

Jiang Ping was even more stunned. The Federal Institute of Scientific Research represents the highest academic research achievement, and it is the dream of almost every scientific researcher to be able to enter the Federal Institute of Scientific Research to do research work.

"Catherine, congratulations! I'm now a researcher at the Federal Academy of Sciences! Jiang Ping congratulated him from the bottom of his heart.

Although Catherine was happy, she was still a little embarrassed and said, "Jiang Ping, you are wrong, you are just an intern researcher, not a formal researcher." ”

Jiang Ping said: "You don't have to worry, after the internship is over, you will naturally become a formal researcher." ”

Catherine shook her head and said, "It's not that easy, then there has to be some research results." Do you think the Federal Institutes of Science are that easy to enter? ”

Jiang Ping pondered for a moment and said, "You can continue to research in this area, for example, that Wang Hengxing's light blue microorganism, I think it's not simple, it's very valuable for research." ”

Catherine snorted and said, "I plan to do the same now, that Wang Heng fungus, that is, the light blue microorganism, I will continue to study." I don't know if you have any good suggestions? ”

She still remembered Jiang Ping's words vividly, although she said them casually, she still looked at him with some expectation.

Jiang Ping groaned, remembering the time when he was at the Ao Shixing temporary base, he had a thought and feeling exchange with that Wang Heng fungus. After a while, he said lightly: "I have some suggestions, I don't know if you want to listen to them?" ”

Catherine hurriedly asked, "What advice, you can tell me." ”

Jiang Ping said: "I think this Wang Heng fungus can be regarded as a kind of group organism, a single Wang Heng fungus may seem very simple, but I am afraid that there will be an inextricable relationship between individuals, aggregated into a whole, and the effect of the whole is only afraid that the individual can not be obtained." And I think your research can focus on the bioenergy of this microorganism, and maybe there will be unexpected discoveries. ”

Catherine didn't pay much attention to it, but after hearing the other party's words, she looked moved, began to chew and think about it seriously, and said excitedly: "So that's the case, why didn't I think of it!" Jiang Ping, thank you, these suggestions of yours have helped me a lot in my research, Jiang Ping, you are really my savior, I love you so much! ”…,

Speaking of this, she couldn't hide her excitement, so she actually got up and looked over and quickly kissed Jiang Ping on the cheek.

Jiang Ping looked embarrassed and said, "I'm just talking about it casually, whether this is really the case or not, you still need your actual research to determine." ”

Catherine laughed, "Either way, I want to thank you very much!" ”

After that, he sighed and said, "Jiang Ping, if it weren't for your major in archaeology, I would really like to invite you to be my research partner." ”

Jiang Ping smiled bitterly, looked at the other party's bright red lips, couldn't help touching his cheeks, and secretly asked if there was a big red mark left here now.

Seeing the other party's movements, Catherine smiled and said, "Tell you, I didn't wear lipstick, hmph, are you afraid that your girlfriend will know what to do when you go back?" ”

Jiang Ping's expression changed, Catherine saw it, and said strangely: "What's the matter, I see that something seems wrong with you today, did you quarrel with your girlfriend?" ”

Jiang Ping said bitterly: "No, no." ”

Catherine continued to ask, "Did you not quarrel with your girlfriend, or did you not have a girlfriend?" ”

Jiang Pingqiang smiled to himself: "I don't have a girlfriend." ”

Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed, not knowing what she was laughing at.

After laughing, Catherine changed the topic, glanced at the other party, and said, "Jiang Ping, I saw you beating that big black guy just now, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." That big black guy heard that he was the tyrant of this place, but he was beaten so badly by you that he didn't have the strength to fight back. ”

Jiang Ping snorted lightly and didn't say anything.

Catherine said seriously, "I wonder what you plan to do now?" Actually, I have a suggestion, I don't know if you would like to listen to it? ”

Jiang Ping asked casually, "What suggestions?" ”

Catherine said solemnly: "I don't know if you have heard of it, now the Federal Interstellar Military University has opened another crash course, and it is recruiting students, and the registration has begun, I think you can give it a try." ”

Federal Interstellar Military University crash course is enrolling?

When Jiang Ping heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head.

The Federal Interstellar Military University, on a par with the Federal Interstellar University, is known as the Federal University of Learning. As the top military academy in the Federation, there are naturally as many people who want to enter as if they were crossing the river, but its entrance threshold is naturally frighteningly high, which is enough to make most people daunted.

In the past, Jiang Ping never thought of applying for this top military school, maybe his academic performance can meet the standard, but to enter this top military school, academic performance alone is not enough, and at the same time, he must have super physical fitness, and for this, he has self-knowledge, his physical fitness is only average, and he cannot meet the admission requirements of this school at all.

The benefits of federal soldiers are very generous, so there are many people who want to become federal soldiers, but if other armies are okay, if you want to enter the elite Starfleet, the threshold is very high, and you must graduate from a regular military academy to be possible.

The vast majority of recruits who graduate from military academies and join the army are only the lowest corporal ranks, and a very small number of cadets who graduate from senior military academies can reach the rank of sergeant or sergeant.

And the cadets who graduated from the Federal Interstellar Military University have the lowest military rank of second lieutenant, which shows the special status of the Federal Interstellar Military University as the top military school of the Federation.

The Federal Army is also divided into many types. The lowest is the Army, which has actually been reduced to the role of the planetary police. This is followed by the planetary garrison air force, the interstellar garrison force, and the most elite is Starfleet. The vast majority of the cadets who came out of the Federation Interstellar Military University served in the most elite Starfleet.

Jiang Ping had no illusions about this top military school before, and even now he still has not. …,

He knew that the Federation Interstellar Military University would sometimes hold a crash course as needed, and the duration of the crash course would be at least three years compared to the regular students, and the duration of the crash course would be one year. Although it is a crash course, the treatment cannot be the same as that of formal military cadets, but a very small number of people with outstanding results in the graduation assessment may also be awarded the rank of second lieutenant directly after graduation, and most of the other cadets can also obtain the rank of sergeant, which is much better than many other higher military schools.

Although it is a crash course, it has a high barrier to entry, and in some respects is even higher than the formal student standard. Moreover, its cadet enrollment is limited to active federal military personnel or reserves, and ordinary federal citizens are not even eligible to sign up.

It was precisely because of these harsh conditions that although Jiang Ping also knew that there was such a thing as a crash course at the Federal Interstellar Military University, he never paid much attention to it, and never thought of signing up for the competition.

Now hearing Catherine's proposal, he thought the other party was joking, and subconsciously shook his head.

Catherine shook her head when she saw him, and said disapprerovingly: "Why, do you think what I said is ridiculous, how can you know the Tao if you don't give it a try?" ”

Jiang Ping smiled bitterly: "Don't you know that this crash course only recruits active soldiers and reserves, and I don't even have the qualifications to sign up!" ”

Catherine snorted and said, "Have you forgotten that we are all former expedition volunteers, and now although we do not have the status of temporary active soldiers, we still belong to the reserves, and your age and education are fully qualified, so you are fully qualified for this registration!" ”

Jiang Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered this stubble. The other party is right, he used to be an expedition volunteer, belonging to the status of temporary active duty soldiers, and now although he has retired, within five years, he will still belong to the reserve status.

On second thought, he does now have the qualifications to sign up for this crash course.

Even so, he was not very optimistic. He knew that the crash course of the Federation Interstellar Military University only enrolled five hundred students, and the number of places left for the lunar reserve candidates was only a pitiful ten, and the indicators of the other twelve immigrant planets were almost the same, and the rest of the places were reserved for active military personnel, accounting for the majority.

Seeing Jiang Ping's expression, Catherine guessed what he was thinking. If she hadn't seen Jiang Ping's skills just now, she wouldn't have had this idea, and she wouldn't mention it to the other party at all. But now, she thinks that the other party can give it a try, maybe it will be done.

Catherine blinked and said, "It's disappointing if you don't even have the courage to give it a try, and you've been an expedition volunteer!" ”

Jiang Ping thought that when he signed up for the expedition volunteer, he did not fail nine times, and finally succeeded in the ghostly mission, maybe he hit the luck again this time.

Seeing Catherine's hatred of iron and steel, he finally nodded and said, "Catherine, I listen to you, just sign up for it." ”
