Every recruit received a mission token. Lan Xiaobu also received a mission token. The mission token was white, and on it was written that the mission points were 0.
After the mission tokens were distributed, Xiong Jinli continued, "This time, the Expeditionary Army lowered the recruitment requirements. However, from the looks of it, the results weren't ideal. This time, there were 5000 people, but in reality, there were only 2300 people. Because there weren't many recruits, your mission was more important. Next, I will announce the recruit mission. "
The 2000 over recruits were silent. Everyone held their breaths as they listened to Xiong Jinli's words. Everyone knew that whether they could survive or not, and whether they could live a better life in the future, this recruit mission was the most crucial.
Under normal circumstances, the suicide mission would be left to the recruits. This was the tradition of the Expeditionary Army.
Xiong Jinli's tone became serious, "I believe everyone knows that this is our strategic resource. It is also related to the growth of a technological planet. Our Zhen Nuo Star isn't a planet that produces Bi. Therefore, a lot of our Bi comes from the universe. "
Hearing the Bi, Lan Xiaobu paid more attention. Originally, when he knew that he had purple gold, he wanted to buy some Bi. Now that he heard Xiong Jinli's words, Lan Xiaobu knew that he could forget about buying Bi. Since this was Zhen Nuo Star's strategic resource, then a mere 2nd Lieutenant like him shouldn't even think about touching it. If he didn't do well, people would suspect his motive for buying Bi.
"Three years ago, a meteor came to Baimo Star. This meteor appeared between Zhen Nuo Star and Ju Lu Star. Because this meteor contained a lot of Bi, Ju Lu Star wanted to monopolize this meteor. However, our Zhen Nuo Star definitely wouldn't allow it … "
When Xiong Jinli said this, the recruits already knew what was going on. They were going to war. Moreover, they were going to war with a 2 star technological planet.
Although they knew that as a recruit, they had to experience war. However, when they thought about going to war with a 2 star technological planet, many people still shuddered.
Everyone knew that after this war, more than half of the recruits would die. There was a high possibility that 80% of the recruits would lose their lives in space.
No one spoke. The atmosphere was abnormally silent.
Lan Xiaobu sighed inwardly. This was simply the rhythm of throwing away one's life. No matter if the Expedition Army won or lost, this group of recruits would be cannon fodder. Fighting in the starry skies, as long as the Battle Disc was hit, it would be a dead end. All of them were mortals, so they had to rely on the air inside the Battle Disc to survive. Once the Battle Disc was hit, they would not be able to survive in the starry skies; as such, they would not be able to escape.
He finally understood why the Expeditionary Force wanted to recruit these recruits from the major planets. Since these recruits came from outer space, then it was obvious that they had brought their own Battle Discs with them. The Celestial Expedition Army wanted to use these new recruits with Battle Discs as cannon fodder; moreover, they did not even need to use the Battle Discs. From this, one could see just how good their calculations were.
Lan Xiaobu also did not want to participate in this kind of battle where the chances of survival were slim. Although his Kunlun was a product of a 5-star technological civilization, it still needed fuel. Without it, he couldn't even attack once he entered the battlefield. Furthermore, he was extremely disgusted by the idea of risking one's life for others.
Xiong Jinli continued, "This time's starry skies battle is very important, so the rewards are also very generous. Any soldier who comes back can choose to retire. After retiring, they can at least become an official. If you don't want to retire, then according to your military merits, you will be promoted to a 2-star Captain. The mission points are even more generous, allowing you to exchange for whatever you need from anywhere. "
The crowd remained silent; there were no fools standing here. The more generous the reward, the less people would return. This kind of empty promise was really not worth a single cent. However, everyone knew that since they had come here, there was no room for resistance.
Xiong Jinli obviously did not care about the thoughts of the recruits; he still continued, "This time, besides the starry skies battle with the Giant Foothill Star, there is another mission for the recruits, that is, to go to the Heaven Luo Star to participate in the selection ….."
"Ah ….." Ah Xu was startled, and then whispered, "The Heaven Luo Star is a planet with a 5-star technological civilization, and is the most technologically advanced planet in our Baimo Galaxy."
"They actually want us recruits to go to a 5-star technological civilization planet to participate in the selection, I wonder what kind of selection it is?" Ke Er rubbed his hands; his eyes were filled with excitement.
Ah Xu glanced at Ke Er, "You are thinking too much, we are not going to participate in the selection. If we are selected, we might just be escorts and logistics for the contestants."
"….." Ke Er was speechless by Ah Xu's words, and forcibly swallowed his words.
After this mission was announced, Lan Xiaobu could clearly feel that the surrounding discussions had increased. In Lan Xiaobu's opinion, most people would want to participate in this mission. Even though this mission was very dangerous, it seemed to be much safer than fighting with the battle disc of the Giant Foothill Star.
"This time, there are five people participating in the selection. These five people are our Zhen Nuo Star's geniuses and elites, so you cannot afford to lose them. Your mission is to protect these five people, you cannot let them have the slightest mishap. This time, 100 people will be selected to participate in the protection team, and the reward for returning from this mission is also very generous. "
As Xiong Jinli spoke until here, his eyes swept across the crowd, and then pointed to the empty space on the right, "Those reserve recruits who are willing to participate in the second mission, please stand up in teams."
What made Lan Xiaobu surprised was that even after a few minutes, not a single team came forward to participate in the second mission. The second mission was just to be an escort, was it more dangerous than the first mission?
Lan Xiaobu asked in doubt, "Ah Xu, why hasn't anyone come forward to participate in the second mission? Wouldn't the escort mission be safer? "
Ah Xu shook her head, "No, initially Lanya Star also participated in this selection, but the death of the escort team was very heavy. In the end, I don't know how many people came back. Therefore, if you choose the first mission, there is a 50% chance of survival, but if you choose the second mission, the chances of survival are very small. However, if no one takes the initiative to participate in the selection, then the Senior Marquis will directly call out the names. "
"Is the name called randomly, or does it follow some rules?" Lan Xiaobu hurriedly asked.
"It's according to the score of the first round of the science and technology assessment. Normally, recruits with outstanding science and technology knowledge will be chosen as escorts …"
Before Ah Xu could finish her sentence, Lan Xiaobu immediately said, "Peacekeeping team, listen to my command, we will choose the second mission."
After speaking, Lan Xiaobu was the first to walk to the right, and when Ah Xu and the rest saw Lan Xiaobu walk over, they hurriedly followed.
No matter if it was Ah Xu, Qinyue, Ke Er or Ding He, they all understood why Lan Xiaobu chose the second mission. Their team's score for the first round of the science and technology assessment was very high, and even Ding He, who had the lowest score, got 50 points. Even if no one chooses the second mission, according to the score of the first round of the science and technology assessment, they would still be selected. Since that was the case, they might as well come over themselves.
To Lan Xiaobu, this was indeed one of the reasons. In fact, even without this reason, he would still choose the second mission of escorting Zhen Nuo Planet's elites to Heaven Luo Planet to participate in the selection.
Heaven Luo Planet was a level 5 technological civilization planet, and in this kind of place, he would definitely be able to obtain more science and technology knowledge. According to his understanding during this period of time, regardless of whether it was a level 2 technological civilization planet or a level 3 technological civilization planet, they were unable to solve the problem of air pollution on Earth.
Whether or not he could return to Earth, he had to first understand how to restore Earth's blue skies and white clouds. Otherwise, what was the point of him going back?
Other than this reason, there was also a second reason. The Yi Jin Jing that he cultivated could at most reach the Xiantian stage, which meant that after reaching the Xiantian stage, he wouldn't be able to cultivate any techniques. According to Lan Xiaobu's thinking, after reaching the Xiantian stage, he might fall into the category of immortal cultivation.
Although the technological civilization planets all suppressed immortal cultivation, from the moment Li An went out alone to search for cultivation techniques, Lan Xiaobu knew that these people who suppressed immortal cultivation were all prostitutes with a monument to their chastity. If they were able to find immortal cultivation techniques, they would be more enthusiastic than anyone else in cultivating. Because they couldn't find immortal cultivation techniques, they suppressed other people's cultivation. They were probably worried that someone would find a real immortal cultivation technique and succeed in cultivating it.
On Zhen Nuo Planet, the reason why Lan Xiaobu didn't ask any questions about immortal cultivation was because there wasn't any soil for immortal cultivation. The energy of heaven and earth was just like this, even martial arts cultivation was the lowest level of martial arts, not to mention immortal cultivation. The only thing that was better than Earth was that the technological civilization here was developing very quickly. From Lan Xiaobu's point of view, this kind of rapid development was very likely due to the leftover technological knowledge from the higher level planets, which was then thrown to these lower level planets to develop.
Seeing that Lan Xiaobu took the initiative to walk over, Xiong Jinli nodded his head in satisfaction. A recruit should have the awareness of a recruit, wasn't it good that he took the initiative to walk over?
Those who scored higher in the first round hesitated for a moment when they saw Lan Xiaobu and the rest walking over, then walked out of the crowd to the right.
This made Xiong Jinli even more satisfied. Since they were guards, they should have the awareness of Lan Xiaobu and take the lead.
