Time flies, time flies.

I don't know when, on the beautiful island near the equator in the Blue Star Pacific Ocean, there is a more special building.

【Star Empire Astronaut Training Academy】

This milky white building occupies the entire island, with a construction area of 20,000 square kilometers, and what is special is that half of its building facilities are located on it, and the other half of the facilities are located in the sea.

A multi-walled carbon nanotube compartment circles a rectangle in the blue ocean, and the seawater in this facility has no liquid exchange with the outside seawater, and the interior is divided into two blocks by the nanotube compartment.

By changing the salinity content of the seawater in the zone, the buoyancy of the seawater can cancel out the gravity to simulate the weightless environment in space, as well as the gravitational environment on the surface of various planets.

In addition, there is a simulated space station, a space living area, an experimental module, a core module, etc. The training program covers thousands of space activities, from spacewalks, to core module work, to operating a workboat to complete the recovery of space debris.

In order to recruit enough astronauts, the Star Empire has cast a wide net across various worlds, and Blue Star, which has a modern basic industry, is one of the main recruits among them.

And Zhang Han from Xia Guo is the beneficiary of the Qunxing space program policy.

At this moment, he was taking his daughter on vacation, standing on the observation deck of the island, looking at the base that he was both familiar and unfamiliar with, and couldn't help but sigh after a long time: "The country is really developing too fast."

Four years ago, while still screwing in the Xia State factory, he was fortunate enough to see the new immigration policy of the Star Empire.

Star Empire Space Program Astronaut Recruitment Notice!

The content in it is also earth-shattering for the Blue Star people who have already seen the wind and waves.

Written in black and white, the Stars plan to recruit about 500,000 astronauts from various countries around the world to develop the first phase of the five-year space plan.

No one knows what the five-year space plan is, but with 500,000 astronauts, this staggering number alone is enough to scare everyone in Blue Star.

500,000 astronauts are not 500,000 cannon fodder.

According to the existing training standards, the price of training an astronaut is at least hundreds of millions of Qunxing credits, and 500,000 is 50 trillion credits.

This is an astronomical figure, and after weighing themselves, the countries found that no country except the Star Empire can squeeze out this number in five years, unless they stop most of the domestic infrastructure operations and financial allocations, and squeeze all the tax revenue for the next five years.

What the hell do they want so many astronauts?

What exactly is a five-year space program?

None of them know.

However, this immigration policy of the Star Empire has set off a huge wave in the world.

The treatment they give is so good that ordinary people can't imagine it, and it can be said that as long as you become an astronaut, you can live a good life in your imagination.

Therefore, after reading the notice, Zhang Han was moved.

Astronauts are recruited regardless of occupation or gender, and as long as they pass the physical test, they will receive five years of long-term training and study.

In addition to the preferential treatment, all qualified candidates will become senior scientific research and military personnel with the nationality of the stars, and enjoy double treatment.

Since the Star Empire became the new overlord of the Blue Star, they have tightened their immigration policy, and it is not as easy as before to join the Star Empire.

On the one hand, the Stars Empire no longer lacks an ordinary labor population, and in the case that Blue Star does not have that country that dares to wrestle with the Stars, where the population resources are does not affect the use of them by the Stars.

Moreover, on the other hand, since the Wandering Earth, the high welfare policy of the Star Empire has been unable to cover so many people at one time, and can only use the immigration policy to accept the population step by step with the development and expansion of the economy.

In the first few immigrations, Zhang Han either hesitated and missed it for a while, or he was not qualified due to the later conditions. Although I regret not taking the opportunity, it is to no avail.

Now, however, a new opportunity is in front of him!

As long as he passes the astronaut qualification of the stars, he can ascend to the sky in one step, become a member of the star empire, and live the life he once envied.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Although the space program and astronauts used to be very far away from ordinary people like him, and he felt a little apprehensive, but this time he didn't want to miss the opportunity because of his hesitation.

After all, the credibility of the Star Empire is like the sun in the sky in this era, and it will always be trustworthy.

After making up his mind, he immediately filled out the information and applied for the astronaut test.

In this recruitment plan, there are a lot of people like Zhang Han, and almost more than 30 million people have submitted applications.

Immigrants without thresholds were first welcomed by people in poor areas.

Those who knew that the Star Empire was powerful and prosperous, and longed for a better life, were particularly enthusiastic when they signed up.

Of course, Shen Sen also responded to their enthusiasm and gave them a new future.

When the astronaut qualification results came out, Zhang Han couldn't even believe that he was successfully selected!

I still remember that day, he quit his job that day, and then took his family to spend a lot of money to go to a restaurant where he had never eaten before.

Then dragged his family and came to the strange Empire of Stars, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Although the Astronaut Training Center is a base for high-tech scientific research projects, hundreds of projects are open to the public, and both nationals and foreign tourists of the Star Empire can enter the museum, and only those that are strictly confidential will be restricted.

However, most visitors come here to visit the Astronaut Training Center, whose main purpose is to admire some of the most spectacular buildings that have ever been created in the history of mankind.

As long as the weather is good enough, even if you stand hundreds of kilometers apart, you can see the three steel tracks that go straight into the sky.

In the impression of the Blue Star people, it seems that it appeared there overnight, and "grows" towards the center of the earth day and night, falling below the skyline.

From a distance, it looks like a steel bar, and only with a high-magnification telescope can you get a glimpse of the patchwork textures on the steel building.

And if you are in the astronaut training center, you can get a glimpse of the whole macroscopic picture of this tower, even with the naked eye.

That's why researchers, space enthusiasts, and tourists come here at great expense just to see the incredible wonders of the world in front of them.

Yes, only the word wonder of the world can describe this magnificent project that connects heaven and earth.

"Daddy! What is that? ”

Standing on the side of the observation deck on the island, the child in the school uniform pointed to the silver thread connecting the world in the distance and asked curiously.

"Haha, that's the elevator."

Looking at the towering buildings in the distance, a look of admiration and pride appeared on the faces of the men wearing the official uniforms of the Star Empire.

"Elevators? Where is such a high elevator going? ”

The child looked at his father and asked with a puzzled face.

"They're going to space." Zhang Han rubbed his child's head.

"The elevator can go so high!"

The little boy who knew the concept of space was frightened, and his eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement.

"Yes, it's unimaginable to be able to go so high, so only our country can do it."

"We're so good, space, can I take the elevator there in the future?" The child's eyes sparkle with longing.

"Of course, it's not just space, we're like stars in the universe, and we're going to go even farther away in the future."

Zhang Han smiled and looked into the distance, now is only the first five years, there will be more five years in the future, he believes in himself, and believes in the stars even more.

Looking at the sky and earth connected by the "elevator", he didn't know whether he was explaining to his children or sighing for this great miracle building:

"After all, this is the golden age of our humanity!"
