Chapter 2 Sign up for an expedition

The staff of the Interstellar Exploration Department was very efficient, and three days after Jiang Ping registered, a notice came to him, informing him that he had passed the primary selection of planetary exploration volunteers, and asked him to report to the Federal Space Agency's lunar base within three days for the second step of reselection.

Because of the above attention, and this is a terrestrial planet that is likely to become a new colonizing planet, the number of members of the expedition volunteer team has increased, and the Interstellar Exploration Department of the Federal Space Agency plans to select 100 expedition volunteers from each of the twelve colonized planets to form an expedition team of 1,200 people to the newly discovered terrestrial planet for landing expeditions.

The moon now has a total population of about one billion, which is much smaller than other colonized planets, and this seems to be a much larger enrollment ratio, but if you look at the actual number of applicants, the number of applicants here is not much more than that of other planets, and the competition is more fierce.

After receiving the re-selection notice from the Interstellar Exploration Department of the Space Administration, Jiang Ping was not very excited, he had received such a re-selection notice several times before, but in the end, he was able to pass the re-selection, but there was no one.

After several failed re-selections, he has also realized where his gap is, mainly in terms of physical fitness.

In the face of various complex environments and unknowable dangers, physical fitness has become the most important consideration. Although with the progress of science and technology, the factor of personal force seems to be diluting step by step, but under the same conditions as others, those with excellent physical fitness have naturally become the priority selection target. Which commander Ren is, he doesn't want to see his subordinates fully armed to the teeth, but under this fully armed body, there is a weak body without the power to restrain the chicken, right?

And in this regard, blacks have an innate advantage over other races. Whether it is physical strength, explosiveness, reflexes, muscle coordination, etc., blacks have considerable advantages, so in such a physical quality selection, blacks are relatively easy to win.

The second is whites, whites have developed skeletal muscles, nerve reaction speed, muscle explosiveness, etc., which are not much worse than blacks. And the yellow race can only be ranked behind them, perhaps only in terms of endurance, can be as short as the other party.

In fact, every time the explorers are selected, blacks also account for the largest proportion, followed by whites, and the last are yellows, browns, and so on.

Of course, such a physical advantage is not absolute, there are also strengths and weaknesses among blacks, and the strong among the yellow people will not be worse than blacks, and the innate advantage does not represent absolute strength, because there is also acquired training and training.

But no matter what, as a yellow race, Jiang Ping's physical fitness is not outstanding among the crowd, which is also the main reason why he was defeated in the previous re-elections.

In the past few months, he has been strengthening his physical training, thunderous ten-kilometer long-distance running every day, fast switchback running, sit-ups, high jump and long jump, horizontal bar and parallel bars, various equipment training, his physical training schedule is full, and his physical fitness has also improved significantly in the past few months of training.

But even so, he still has no bottom in his heart about whether he can successfully pass this re-election.

In addition to his physical fitness, his other weakness is his major. His major at the academy turned out to be archaeology. He didn't know why he would be transferred to such a remote and unpopular major. As for the arrangement of the college, he, the failed person of the joint entrance examination, can only accept it unconditionally.

After two years of study, he had graduated from the college, but he could not find a lucrative job as an archaeology professional. In today's era of great development of interstellar exploration, it is really unthinkable what kind of use such a profession as archaeology will be! …,

Jiang Ping sometimes couldn't help but want to scold those who set up the arrangers of the academy's courses, why should they set up an unpopular major like archaeology in such an era of interstellar development, isn't this purely used to trick people!

Planetary exploration volunteers need all kinds of talents, such as mathematics, geology, astronomy, physics, surveying, computer, electronics, communications, biology, medicine, chemistry, mechanics and so on, but how will an archaeology major help for interstellar exploration?

Perhaps in interstellar exploration, if you can discover some relics of ancient civilizations, involving the exploration and excavation of ruins, then your archaeology major can come in handy. Jiang Ping could only comfort himself like this in his heart.

Three days passed in a flash, and early in the morning, he got up, ate breakfast, sorted everything out, and was just about to go out to the space agency's moon base for a retest, when he received a communication from his mother.

His parents live in a different area, and because they are far apart, they don't see each other much.

"Xiaoping, how are you doing?" On the communicator screen, Jiang Ping's mother Zhang Yueying asked with concern.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Ping looked at the time and said casually perfunctory on the phone.

"You're not too young, why don't you have a suitable partner yet, someone introduced one to my mother yesterday, it's your aunt's cousin and niece who lives downstairs from your mother, if you agree, find a time to come and meet......"

"Mom, I'm still young, why are you in such a hurry to introduce me to a girlfriend. I still have things, I'll hang up first. ”

"Oh, you kid, hey, hey, hey......"

Jiang Ping turned off the call, a little speechless, looked at the time, it was not early, and immediately closed the door and walked out.

The space agency's lunar base is located in the first area, more than 3,000 kilometers away from the 36th area where Jiangping is located, and it will take two or three hours to get there by ordinary electromagnetic bus.

Jiang Ping decided to rent a personal flying vehicle. Even if it's rented, the rent costs up to 1,000 federal dollars per hour. If it were usual, Jiang Ping would definitely not be so extravagant, but this time he went to the NASA lunar base for a retest, and the travel expenses were reimbursed by the NASA throughout the process.

Finding a personal aircraft rental company on the side of the road, Jiang Ping completed the formalities, and then a beautiful orange personal aircraft appeared in front of him. Standing with him next to this flying machine was a sturdy black youth.

The personal aircraft is shaped like a flying saucer, with a diameter of five meters, and there are two cabins inside, which can carry up to two people.

After scanning the aircraft in front of him a few times, Jiang Ping was quite satisfied, this was a fourth-generation personal flying vehicle, with a maximum speed of 8,000 kilometers per hour, and it would take less than half an hour to go to the lunar base.

He was about to walk into the cabin when the staff of the rental company told him that he was accompanied by a young black man next to him, and asked him if he had any opinions, and because it was two people flying together, the price could be discounted by half.

Jiang Ping listened to it and was a little unhappy in his heart. This time he went to the NASA moon base, and the whole cost was reimbursed by the NASA, and he didn't need to save money for the other party at all.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Ping glanced at the black young man next to him and asked. Thinking that there is not much time, if the other party has to take a detour, I can only say sorry.

The black young man grinned, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and said: "I'm going to the NASA moon base, I have already inquired with the staff of this company, and you are also going to the NASA moon base, so we are fellow travelers." ”

When Jiang Ping heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless, and soon thought that most of the other party was like himself, and he also went to the lunar base of the space agency to participate in the re-examination of the expedition volunteers. …,

Since they were on the same road, he had no excuse to refuse, so he had to nod and agree.

The two immediately walked into the cabin, sat down in their respective seats, pressed the button to close the door, and set the flight destination on the navigation map, after everything was ready, Jiang Ping pressed the start button, and then a burst of hot gas sprayed out of the chassis, and the aircraft gradually accelerated into the air, according to the established route, and flew quickly towards the first area, and soon turned into a point of light and disappeared into the sky.

The speed of the aircraft was very fast, but inside, there was no bump or discomfort at all. Except for the initial feeling of a little inertial force oppression, after that everything was as smooth as a mountain, as if sitting in a house.

Personal aircraft have an automatic navigation system, which does not need to be operated by humans at all, and will automatically fly along a set course until it reaches its destination.

The black young man is a very talkative person, and he introduced himself as James, and he went to the space agency's moon base, and sure enough, he went to participate in the re-examination of planetary exploration volunteers.

Looking at the other party's strong body and confident expression, Jiang Ping had to admit in his heart that this was a very strong opponent for himself.

And after learning that the other party was also going to participate in the re-examination of the planetary expedition volunteers, after the black young man Jameson screamed, he didn't say anything else, he still looked like he didn't care, obviously didn't regard Jiang Ping as a real opponent of his own, and didn't think that he posed any threat to him.

Seeing that the other party looked confident and full of confidence, Jiang Ping's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, but he was helpless.

"James, I wonder what you're studying?" Jiang Ping asked with a hint of luck. Looking at the other party's well-developed limbs and simple mind, he suspected that the other party had not even graduated from federal basic education.

"Mechanical design! Man, what about you! James grinned
