After sending Hua Yuelan away, Ren Zhong sat in the office for a while.

He once thought that once he lost his resurrection, he would have to say goodbye to the people around him one after another.

He also did a lot of psychological construction.

The construction was basically successful.

He knew from the beginning how difficult the road ahead would be.

But when this moment actually happened, he was still quite caught off guard.

But this is just the beginning.

There is another more realistic problem that involves more people.

He had to select 750,000 people to carry out the mission within seven days. .

Not one or two, but seven hundred and fifty thousand.

When he was in Spark Town, Ren Zhong was furious because the census officer could decide the life or death of tens of thousands of people with just one sentence.

But now that he has reached this point, he knows how much of a fool he once was.

Liu An was just one of the tens of thousands of imperial earls, but because of his evil thoughts, he dug a hole that the fleet had to fill with 750,000 lives.

And it seems this is just the beginning.

The Machine Empire amplified the evil of the Source Star countless times.

How ridiculous.

This journey back home was filled with blood every step of the way.

Counting the battle of the Imperial Mothership and the reconnaissance ships, transport ships and armed ships that were accidentally damaged along the way, as well as those who unfortunately died in the experimental accident, and those who worked on the ship for the entire second half of their lives without ever taking a break. The sacrifice is too great.

Ren Zhong rubbed his temples.

"I have to get used to it."

Six hours later, Ren Zhong stood up and went to the mobilization department headed by Xiao Xingyue.

Xiao Xingyue was once the star of hope for the Nianli division under the association, and later became the leader of the secret review department of the Ren Group. After boarding the fleet, she began to serve as the head of the legal department.

Although she has always had objections to the heavy responsibility and spent most of her time in cryogenic slumber, it was the work she was responsible for, but she never gave up.

When it came to the mobilization department, Xiao Xingyue was leading the team to conduct the final selection of personnel with the assistance of Sun Ai, who was pretending to be "Net".

Six hours ago, after Ren Zhong and Hua Yuelan agreed on the plan, a new recruitment order was announced to all members of the scout army.

Today, the reconnaissance corps still has five major military branches. The total size of reconnaissance ships has increased to three million, with a total number of 30 million members.

The soldiers of the Scout Army still implement a rotation system. Due to improved armament, the "Eye" reconnaissance ship has higher performance and stronger firepower. Most of the crew members of the reconnaissance ship are elite and enjoy higher treatment than ordinary ship-borne soldiers.

Correspondingly, the casualty rate of scout ship crew members is also much higher than that of ordinary ship-borne troops, but the intention of new recruits to sign up to join the reconnaissance corps remains high.

Especially the Third Reconnaissance Army, which had suffered the most casualties, became the most popular.

Even if the Ministry of Military Management has improved the selection standards and thresholds for scouts, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of young people.

The main crew members of the special service ship are mainly composed of two people. One part is pure technical personnel in charge of core technologies. They are selected by Hua Yuelan and Chen Qiao within the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. The total number is 100,000, one person per ship.

The other part is technical soldiers who will be selected internally from the reconnaissance corps.

The internal selection mode is to first clearly inform the soldiers in the reconnaissance corps that this is a life-or-death mission, but it is extremely important, related to the life and death of the entire fleet, and then let the soldiers take the initiative to sign up.

Before making the announcement, Xiao Xingyue actually asked Ren Zhong. She believes that there is no need to make the registration requirements so clear, and there is no need to fully disclose the dangers of the mission. Anyway, the brains and communications of all work ships are completely controlled by the "net". Under normal circumstances, the "net" is also used for remote control and driving. You only need to tell the personnel in the work ship that this is a special task.

All information will be interacted under the control of the "net", and shipboard personnel have no right to access specific information. They won't even know their exact route. In the universe, it is absolutely unrealistic to try to rely on the naked eye to complete positioning, figure out where you are, and figure out where the large forces are.

But Ren Zhong rejected Xiao Xingyue's proposal.

He said: "Although it is theoretically possible to keep everyone in the dark and let them die unknowingly, anyway, under the impact of the dark energy explosion, it is impossible for there to be any more information flow to convey the news. , it seems that there is no danger of the news leaking out. But I don’t think so. I have already lied once during the clean-up operation of Source Star. The same thing must not happen again. If we use deception to let these people die, I don’t know why, but the moral court inside me will judge me.”

"At the same time, this will also bring greater risks. Some people will realize that they have been deceived and abandoned. If any of these people become resentful and do something beyond technical limitations, it may The whereabouts will be exposed. The people who stayed in the fleet will also lose confidence in me because I lied twice in a row, and worry about whether my next order will be like this again. People will die in a lie. People's hearts will be shaken, and fleet citizens may also Abandon me. In normal times, my powerful control may never be shown, but once these resentful people find an opportunity to betray me and cause me substantial harm, they will not hesitate."

"Lies may bring short-term benefits, reduce the cost and difficulty of social management, seem to simplify complex things, and even make civilized managers addicted to it."

"However, lies are actually poison that quenches thirst. The more convenience you enjoy from lying, the more credibility you will overdraw. The anger and dissatisfaction in people's hearts will accumulate like the undercurrent under the deep sea, and one day they will have to pay back. cost."

"The reason why I was able to take over the rule of the nine administrators so easily, and suppress the nine major groups easily, and control all the resources in my own hands, is the reason why. The entire Origin Star, without the nine major groups There are vested interests within and no one is loyal to them.”

"In addition to drastic regime changes, there is another way of so-called resistance, and that is to destroy it. The Origin Star civilization with a population of 20 billion has encountered a century-long crisis even when it has ready-made knowledge in the Knowledge Ball. This is the reason why the above technologies have stagnated.”

"I can't make the same mistake again. We have to trust our soldiers, let them know, and take the initiative to sign up."

Xiao Xingyue had some doubts at first, but after only half an hour, she understood the gap between herself and Ren Zhong.

In just half an hour, more than one million people signed up.

Now, six hours later, the total number of applicants has even climbed to tens of millions.

This means that on average, at least one out of every three Scout Army soldiers has chosen to sign up.

If Ren Zhong had not ordered the termination of registration, the number of people would have continued to rise.

"A total of only 700,000 people are needed. As a result, these soldiers knew that there would be no chance of death, but there were still too many applicants, which brought great difficulties to our screening work."

In front of the workbench, Xiao Xingyue said with a hint of distress, "Even if we used the 'net' to pre-screen and eliminate some soldiers who did not meet the technical ability standards, there were still more than three million qualified candidates. I didn't expect the soldiers to be like this Zhengyue, I should have trusted your judgment and changed the registration mode to first come, first served, while registrations are full."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "That won't work either. The position of the work ship is very important. Determination is not enough. You still have to have the ability to meet the standards."

"But now I can't decide on the final candidate by random drawing, right? That would damage morale." Xiao Xingyue looked back at the densely packed names on the workbench projection screen and said with a frown.

"Let me think about it." Ren Zhong thought for a moment, "Give me new conditions."

"What conditions?"

"First, only children whose parents have passed away are prohibited from registering. Second, all brothers and sisters in the same family are prohibited from registering. The same genetic source and similar parental education background may produce similar offspring. Look at these three people, All have the surname Sami. Ahmed Sami, Luchad Sami, and Pansim Sami are clearly three brothers."

"Similarly, thirdly, parents and children are prohibited from registering. That's it for now, let's screen and see how many people are left."

Sun Ai was very efficient and completed the screening in just a blink of an eye, with 1.07 million people remaining.

"The rest will be screened according to the scores of the most recent functional assessment, and those with lower scores will be eliminated from the candidate series. After completing this, recruitment from each fleet will begin. The work ship fleet will be deployed intensively in a week. Give them some time to catch up with their families.”



The three brothers Ahmed, Luchad and Pansim were gathering together happily to discuss the next arrangements.

As a minority race on the Source Star civilization, the families of the three brothers have never been happy on the Source Star. For thousands of years, no matter how hard the men and women of the Sami family tried, they could only survive in the temporary desert and the Switching back and forth between the two lowest identities of wild man and wild man.

Until the rapid rise of the Ren Group, which completely changed the social atmosphere of Yuanxing and gave the people at the bottom the opportunity to get ahead based on their abilities, this family with extraordinary talents in driving vehicles finally got the opportunity to soar into the sky.

The father of the three brothers, Mamunun Sami, passed numerous selections and took his family on the last train to board the Origin Star Fleet as an excellent Veyron X-fighter pilot.

Mamunun participated in the Moral Council Trial Battle that took place within the Origin Star, the "Rebellion War" that launched an attack on the Seeker spacecraft, and also participated in the Battle of the Imperial Mothership. But Mamunun is not a super professional in the water droplet ship, but a reconnaissance ship pilot of the Third Reconnaissance Corps.

When Ren Zhong personally led his team to attack the Royal Ship, Mamunun, whose biological age was over forty, came out of hiding and provided effective fire support to several super-level professionals. He won the second-class merit and was promoted. For the colonel.

During the years of following the fleet, Mamnuen did not choose cryogenic slumber. He worked hard on the scout ship for a long time, and used his spare time to seriously teach his three sons and cultivate the three brothers into talents.

Mamnoon Sami died two years ago. Before he died, he said to his three sons who were guarding the bedside: "If it weren't for the Earl, I would never have had the opportunity to display my talents in my life. I would have been thrown on the surface of the Origin Star and become a discarded gecko tail. The Earl gave me a new life, and I have been fighting for him all my life. I am also very lucky to have lived until now, and I can still watch the three of you grow up and become upright children. I still remember when I was a child, when I I have never expected to have such a happy and lucky life. This is all given to me by the Earl. The reason why you were born and became such a great boy is also his opportunity. Maybe he doesn’t even know your names. , but that is not important. It does not mean that he does not love you. He is very busy, and he must be responsible for everyone in the entire civilization. He is my God, and should be your God, and the God of everyone. When he needs When the time comes, you must be like me and bravely get on the fighter plane and fight for him until the last moment."

After saying these words and persisting until his three sons nodded and swore with tears in their eyes, Mamnoon Sami closed his eyes with satisfaction.

………….filling in the word count, there is no time, so this is the only way, the follow-up text will appear after refreshing in half an hour…………
