It wasn't just Fang Zhao. Even Great-Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother Fang, these two experienced people, were baffled by the reply.
Failed the background check?
Not breaking the law, not harming society, not even a demerit from his student days. How could he fail the background check?
Great-Grandfather Fang was furious. He asked an old comrade, and his old comrade sent someone to ask around before replying.
"I don't know if it's true, but I heard that they don't accept celebrities," the other party said.
"Don't accept celebrities? Is there a new policy? " Great-Grandfather Fang couldn't understand. He had volunteered to go to the most difficult place, yet he had been mercilessly rejected. Why was the background check being used as a reason to keep him out? Did being a celebrity have anything to do with being able to serve on the warship? Furthermore, he had been paying attention to the relevant laws and regulations, but he hadn't seen anything explicitly stating that celebrities couldn't serve on the warship.
However, the examiners would indeed look at some things that were not shown on the file. For example, for some reason, they might feel that the applicant was not suitable to work on the ship. Celebrities were the last thing they wanted to see.
Great-Grandfather Fang had made some inquiries. Many of the warships' information was not made public. It would not be made public, or perhaps because of the time limit of confidentiality, no one would mention it. However, the Old Master had asked many of his old comrades and had more or less found out something.
After summarizing the information, the gist was this: Celebrities are just for show. They can't do anything well and have so much to do. Annoying! We don't want them! Whoever wants them can take them!
After hanging up, Great-Grandfather Fang fell into a rare silence. He had been retired for so long that he had forgotten that celebrities were discriminated against in many places.
Fang Zhao didn't have any black marks on his file, but he was a celebrity now, and the two warships weren't willing to accept his application.
Great-Grandfather Fang sat there in a daze for a while before suggesting, "Why don't we apply again?"
"No need. I'll apply for the third most difficult option." Fang Zhao felt it was a pity that he couldn't go to Arcturus or Fomalhaut, but since there were such unwritten rules, he wouldn't force his way there, so he decided to pick another place.
"You intend to choose the third most difficult option? Which one? "Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother Fang leaned over to look at the screen.
"Mining," Fang Zhao replied.
"Mining? No, that's too far away, and the environment and climate conditions aren't good. If you choose to mine, why don't you just accept the assignment? There's a high chance that you'll be assigned to a mining area or participate in the construction of a base on another planet. God felt that this was not suitable. In his opinion, since he could not go to the two military projects that he had hoped for the most, there was no difference in choosing the other ones. After all, it was either mining or building the infrastructure for the future expansion of mankind. It did not matter how far away he was from the Mother Planet. Instead of going to a faraway place to mine, he might as well obey the assignment.
However, Fang Zhao had a different mindset. He had chosen third not because it was the third most difficult planet, but because it was the furthest away from Mother Planet among all the planets that had started development.
Fang Zhao wanted to see how far humanity had progressed in the past 500 years. Flying didn't count. What truly began to take root and build was the nature of stepping on solid ground.
Without hesitation, Fang Zhao submitted his application for military service. Unlike the previous two, this application was answered very quickly. The reply he received was no longer "rejected" but "accepted."
Fang Zhao submitted his application without hesitation. Unlike the previous two, this application was answered very quickly. The reply was no longer "rejected" but "accepted."
This "accepted" did not mean that it was approved. Fang Zhao still had to submit the results of the physical examination. He needed to go to a designated hospital for a physical examination. The hospital was also a district hospital built by the Yanzhou military in Qi'an City.
At the hospital, the people in charge of the physical examination were chatting about the latest entertainment news.
As there were not many people around, the ones on duty were not the senior doctors. The experienced ones were all very busy. The ones left behind were medical interns or some youngsters who had just started working. In any case, the people who came for the physical examination were usually people applying for military service or about to enlist. All they needed to do was control the machine to examine the applicant's constitution.
As the few of them were chatting excitedly, they received a notification.
"Someone actually took the initiative to apply for military service and passed the preliminary examination. He should be here for a physical examination in the next two days. Oh, and it's from planet Baiji. How stupid is he? "
"I reckon it's some idiot who got agitated."
The young man closest to the door stared blankly ahead. He raised his hand and patted the back of his colleagues who were chatting. "... The idiot you were talking about is here."
Fang Zhao came in wearing a cap. The brim of the cap was pulled down. When he arrived at the physical examination area, there was no one around, so he took off his cap.
Fang Zhao looked at the room number and asked, "May I ask if this is the physical examination room for military service personnel?"
"Yes... yes yes! This is it! "
"You are Fang, Fang, Fang... Zhao?"
"You are the one who applied to go to planet Baiji?"
Fang Zhao nodded. "That's me."
"... This way, please."
After the few young men led Fang Zhao in, they controlled the machine and began to examine Fang Zhao. At the same time, in their hearts, they were howling, How can it be Fang Zhao?! Planet Baiji! It's so far away and the conditions are poor. Going there will just be a burden. Why bother? Have you gone stupid from playing games?
Five minutes later, a physical evaluation of "excellent" was uploaded to the military service application page. Very quickly, the status of the application changed from "accepted" to "approved" and Fang Zhao was asked to report to Yanzhou's military district on March 1. At that time, he would undergo a month of military training and be sent to the military service site in April.
When Wayne found out that Fang Zhao had applied for military service on planet Baiji, his jaw dropped.
Wayne could not understand why Fang Zhao had chosen this option after preparing for so long. "Why can't you get over it?"
Helpless, Wayne contacted Duan Qianji, hoping that she could persuade Fang Zhao. Even though he had already submitted his application, as long as he had not officially started his military service, there was still room for maneuvering.
However, Wayne did not get the answer he wanted from Duan Qianji. Duan Qianji told him not to be impatient. The higher-ups might introduce a new policy this year. Fang Zhao's choice might not be a bad thing for them.
The next day, Silver Wing informed Fang Zhao's grandfather of his choice: military service on planet Baiji.
This choice surprised many people. Many people felt that Fang Zhao had gone crazy or guessed that there was some ulterior motive behind it. However, the application for military service approval had already been screenshotted and could not be faked.
