Chapter VII: Meritorious Service for Guilt

All the prisoners in the fifteen prisons were gathered together, and an officer stepped up to the podium, accompanied by the prison director.

"I don't like to talk nonsense, and today, I am giving you an opportunity to reduce your sentence and make meritorious contributions, and it is also an opportunity to be a new person. ”

"To put it bluntly, you are now the dregs of society, the waste of mankind, not only did you not contribute to human society, but you did things that violated the law and discipline. ”

"I don't think you were born like this, and you ended up where you are now, and each of you has a bowl of bitter water in your stomach. ”

"Bitter water will not reduce your sentence, but you can! Listen to all of you, the latest decree is that all inmates who volunteer to join the army who serve a sentence of less than three years can be exempted from punishment after serving a sentence of less than one year; those who have served a sentence of not less than three years but not more than five years can be exempted from punishment after serving two years; those who have served more than five years can be exempted from punishment after serving for three years; and those who have served more than 10 years can be exempted from punishment after serving for five years. life imprisonment and the death penalty shall be provided for as follows..."

Being a soldier gives you freedom, that sounds good. But what kind of gear am I in this situation?

The warden couldn't answer me, so he went to the officer.

I don't know the process of negotiations, but the result was that I could join the army, and the service period was calculated as three years, the third tranche.

I gritted my teeth, okay, three years is three years, it's better than staying in prison for the rest of my life, people move to live, trees move to death, when the opportunity comes, you have to give it a go.

The process of joining the army went quickly, and the inmates who signed up were quickly divided into companies, and then picked up by military vehicles in batches.

My company was tentatively named Fifteen First Company, and military vehicles sent us to the boot camp for three months of recruit training.

These three months were much more arduous than in prison, and the daily training was very heavy, not only to exercise the body, learn to operate all kinds of equipment and weapons, but also to receive ideological education, that is, brainwashing, and not to be a coward ideologically, let alone a deserter.

In addition, since we are inmates, although we have received the soldier treatment promised by the government as volunteers, we are still in a state of detention until the end of our service period, and we do not have much freedom to go out.

During the three months of training in the boot camp, I gained a systematic understanding of the power system of this world.

The military is the backbone of the human world based on science and technology, and the reason why human beings can gain a foothold in the universe and confront alien races in various planes is mainly because of high technology, and the development of science and technology has enabled human beings to have abundant energy, can feed a huge number of people, can manufacture weapons to destroy the planet, and can support protracted wars.

Monks relying on mana are the high-end combat power of the human world, and now the cultivation civilization is prosperous and developing, the number of monks has exceeded 100 billion, and the monks have a stronger physique, better adaptability, and can have extraordinary combat power without relying on equipment, which ordinary people cannot match.

Of course, not every monk is so powerful, it depends on the monk's cultivation and the type of monk.

Alchemy refiners draw talismans in formation, and generally can't be beaten. Law cultivation, body cultivation, sword cultivation, and double cultivation of the law body, one is fiercer than the other.

In addition, monks below the Jindan stage cannot travel in the sky, and without a heavy treasure on their bodies, their combat effectiveness will not be greater than that of a fully armed SWAT team.

However, the monks above the Jindan stage have had a qualitative change, they have strong mana, they can cast spells for a long time to fight, the power of spells is greater than that of ordinary hand-held weapons, the spells are unpredictable, and the attacks are varied.

Some people assessed that a Jindan monk, regardless of the cost of time, could grind a reinforced battalion to death, and could not deal with it at all without using weapons of large-scale destruction.

Above the Jindan period is the Yuan infant stage, known as the old ghost of the earth immortals, stained with a fairy word, their means are even more incredible, thousands of miles of killing people are like exploring the bag, and teleportation is like a leisurely walk.

Above the infant period is the god transformation period, this realm has jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements, the monk has reached this realm, not only the combat power is terrifying, but also the longevity is unlimited, the only thing that needs to be considered is what kind of way to enter, immortals, demons, ghosts, demons, the four realms are different, as for what kind of difference, ordinary people do not know.

Monks have a circle of monks, commonly known as the world of cultivating immortals, which ordinary people generally do not touch, and the world of cultivating immortals has independent precepts, similar to the laws of human society, and monks must abide by them, otherwise they will be punished.

I wanted to become a monk, and of course I was particularly interested in the method of getting started.

In fact, it is easy to say, the first thing to do is to feel the aura.

Except for cultivation geniuses, it is difficult for ordinary people to feel the existence of aura, such as me, I have seen spirit stones, and I can't perceive aura at all.

At this time, it is necessary to use the spirit stone to arrange a spirit gathering array, a monk presides over the formation, the entry person meditates in the array, and the person in the main formation controls the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array, from the dantian of the entry person to the heavenly spirit out, and the cycle repeats, in this process, the entry person can perceive the existence of the aura, this process is called enlightenment.

Depending on each person's qualifications and perceptions, the time to successfully enlighten may be long or short.

The Spirit Gathering Array consumes ten spirit stones at a time, which can last for a day, and then it has to replenish the spirit stones, otherwise the formation will stop running.

This process not only consumes a lot of spirit stones, but also consumes the mental energy of the main array monks, so under normal circumstances, it is not a master-apprentice relationship or a blood relationship, and few monks are willing to do this.

After opening the body, you can practice Qi according to the practice of Qi, this period is called the Qi Cultivation Realm, most of the cultivation exercises will divide the Qi Cultivation Realm into ten layers, and when you cultivate to the tenth layer, the foundation of Qi training will be considered complete, and the next step is to build the foundation.

There are many ways to build a foundation, and the major immortal sects have their own secrets, because the quality of building a foundation is related to the cultivation behind it.

Knowing this, I understand why Lao Hu was reluctant to take me to the beginning in the first place. Alas, just using the Spirit Gathering Array, it costs 10 million a day, I am not related to him, why should he help me?

It's off topic to say so much, I'm not a monk now, these are simple understandings, and the top priority is to survive on the battlefield.

The three-month training soon ended, and my company was broken up and reorganized, renamed Warhammer Company, and was part of the 1st Auxiliary Battalion of the Mecha Regiment of the Fifth Army's Ranger Brigade.

The name is very loud, I am very satisfied, but I am a little worried, don't be cannon fodder here, you must survive to the end on the battlefield, and the most important thing is to live.

The troop carrier is really a ship, or the shape of an ancient sailing ship, except that it floats in the air, and it is very huge, at least several kilometers long, like a mountain.

When I boarded the ship in the floating car, I saw groups of monks also boarding the ship, and some of them were advanced cultivators who were driving the magic weapon of flying and shuttling back and forth between the warships.

When the troop carrier was full of soldiers and monks, it took off into the air, broke through the sky, and went into space. After that, they flew for another day and a night, and came to a spherical interface node.

The interface where the Silicon Humans are located is after this node, referred to as the Silicon Realm. This time, the military took the initiative to fight, and the front row of nodes was full of spaceships ready to jump on the interface.

I looked at the outside world through the small porthole, and I couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the universe and the insignificance of mortals.

As for why they came all the way to fight the Silicon Terran, I guess that eighty percent of them wanted to rob other people's things, and the remaining two percent were for self-protection.

The specific reason, the federal government did not say, the external propaganda is that the Silicon Race seized our materials and killed our envoys, although it is far away, it will be punished.

The company I am in is positioned as an auxiliary operation, similar to the infantry in the infantry and tank cooperative operations, except that the object of coordination is now the mecha soldiers.

The current Mecha Soldier resembles the Gundam in the comics, except that it can't fly like the Gundam, but the other performance is very strong.

Of course, the people who piloted the mecha were not our prison inmates, they were the top soldiers trained by the military, and they were not in our cabin.

It will take a while for the interface to jump, during which most people are resting, and a small number of people are gathered around the porthole to watch.

I looked at the space scenery for a moment and returned to my seat.

At my feet was my marching bag, which contained my combat uniform and personal belongings, which were strictly controlled by the military and were not allowed to be carried except for necessary items.

I didn't actually have any personal belongings in my bag, except for the 30,000 yuan in cash that Lao Hu gave me, only the copper stove was left.

This copper furnace has a secret, and I certainly can't throw it away.

At first, the sergeant major forbade me to carry the furnace on the grounds that it was useless and a burden. I had an idea, found a rubber stopper, filled the furnace with water, turned it into a kettle, and cheekily said that the sergeant major agreed to let me keep it.

Wearing a combat uniform full of science and technology, holding an energy gun, but with a nondescript copper furnace hanging from his waist, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit out of harmony.

Fortunately, I am not the only one in the company, but there is also a buddy who is even more excessive, so he has to carry the frying pan behind him, saying that this pot is his family's ancestral, and he has to carry it alive and dead.

Since then, his nickname in the company is the back pot man, and my nickname is the furnace baby.

...

The process of interface jumping is smooth, and after the node is not space, but a blue sea, and after the ship enters a new world, it begins to sail on the sea.

At this time, the sergeant major of the company began to give orders to put on equipment, and at the same time arrange combat missions on the light screen.

The combat objective of our company was to assist the mecha commandos in occupying Heights 1031, clearing the remnants of the enemy, and establishing positions on the heights.

The mission description is clear, and the light screen also shows the topography of Heights 1031, as well as the route of the assault, and so on.

I don't know if I'll survive this war, I can't think about what I'd do if I die, I have to think about what I'd do if I survived.

If I can live, I will definitely find a chance to become a monk, and then hide and cultivate, and be a quiet and beautiful man, never touching the cause and effect of the world, I just want to live quietly, even if I can't live forever, at least I have to be happy until I am old.

Before I could continue to think about it, the spaceship rushed onto the beach, and then the hatches on both sides opened, and all kinds of mechs and armored assault vehicles swarmed out, followed by soldiers.
