Although the Business Academy is large in scale, it is extremely strict in recruiting students. Instructors at all levels in the academy also hold active military ranks and have a transcendent status in the entire kingdom.

Chu Jungui's current class has just entered its second year as freshmen and will not graduate in nearly three years.

This class is full of talents, far beyond those before and after, and is also called the class of hope. However, because there are many people who are proud of their talents, they are sometimes ridiculed as a thorny party.

The curriculum of Canshang College was deeply influenced by the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and traces of imitation can be seen everywhere. Even the school introduction does not deny this.

The undergraduate program here is a four-year academic system. The first two years are mainly general courses, covering a series of content from individual combat to battleship command. The next two years are professional courses. The students will be selected based on their personal wishes and their results in the previous two years. Study major.

As a star country that guards its borders, the Business School also has its own specialization, which is intra-planetary combat.

In addition to combat courses, the Business School also includes many traditional Chinese civilization contents as compulsory courses, including history, literature, philosophy and religion. Modern economics, politics and law courses are also very popular among students. After all, not everyone likes to fight in battle, and rear positions can also hold high positions of power.

In addition, the prosperous Tang Dynasty always respected Confucian generals, and the generals who commanded the army also had to be well-read in order to convince the public.

Naturally, there are more than just the people on the transport ship in the second grade. There are more than 20,000 second-year students in the academy, and only the best 100 among them are qualified to participate in the survival battle assessment on an uninhabited planet. After all, the cost of dispatching a transport ship to transport the students to an uninhabited planet is not a small amount.

Ordinary students who are not selected can only fight for survival in the college's examination base. For hundreds of years, everyone has known the map of the examination base. Everyone knows where there are houses, where there are guns, and which trees are easy to hide behind. Knowing everything, sometimes it’s not fun anymore. For example, several places where good equipment has been buried are often the areas with the largest number of airdrops. Many rookies have already had their equipment harvested as soon as they land and before they understand what is going on.

There are calls to change the map every year. However, for the sake of saving money, the map of the survival battle in the examination base has remained unchanged year after year. At most, it can only be repaired and repaired, and a few broken cars can be thrown into it, and it is considered to have been upgraded.

The Business School is not poor. The tuition here is several times higher than that of ordinary schools. The tuition fees alone are enough to earn a lot of money. Not to mention there are so many ancillary industries. Every year, orders from the military alone are met with reluctance.

Having money is one thing, but being willing to spend money on students is another. In the eyes of Shenzhen Business School, each batch of students is like leeks, after one crop is cut, there will be another crop. Since leeks can grow by watering them, why do you need to fertilize them?

Chu Jungui clicked on the screen a few more times, and as a second-year student, all the courses he had the right to study appeared. There were thousands of them. There are more than a hundred ways to use various individual weapons.

Chu Jungui looked at the catalog first. The broad categories and subcategory levels of each course were clearly displayed in the catalog.

In today's era, humans are no longer the physically weak race on their home planet. After more than a thousand years of advancement in technology, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering, humans have gradually formed three different directions in individual enhancement.

One is to strengthen the basic functions of the human body through genetic modification, and to achieve the purpose of strengthening the basic functions by loading micro-devices and various auxiliary power organs.

The most common manifestation of this is chip implantation. In this era, most people who have the conditions will have chips implanted for purposes such as storing information, assisting calculations, and communicating and data transmission. As long as they are Kingdom citizens, even the poorest people, the Kingdom will implant ID chips for free. Of course, the chip implanted in this way only has the most basic functions, which is better than nothing. Its main purpose is identification.

In today's era, identity chips are like passports and ID cards in the old days.

Everyone has an identity chip, but not everyone can afford a functional chip. The price of a chip can be hundreds of times the cost. Not to mention those limited editions with special functions, even mid-range versions of chips can only be afforded by the real middle class.

Only functional chips are called chips.

Pirating and counterfeiting chips is not impossible, but it doesn’t make much sense. These chips are similar to an access interface and can regularly receive the latest version of software from service providers for upgrades. Pirated chips naturally cannot be upgraded, and chips that cannot be upgraded are like defective products and can only be used to deceive uninformed people.

As a formal student of the Business School, an important benefit is that you can purchase three mid-level chips or one high-level chip at half price. If you really don't have money, like Chu Jungui, you can also apply for a college loan and repay it in installments after graduation.

The second enhancement path is external equipment. The simple version is the exoskeleton, while the more complicated version is the individual combat mecha, and the more complex version is the ground effect vehicle or floating combat platform that requires multiple people to operate.

On this path, evolution never ends. More powerful individual weapons, more effective defense, smaller and lighter engines, more durable and efficient energy supply, every direction is worthy of countless people's lifelong efforts.

The last path, and the most controversial one, is to use various biochemical tissues or artificial organs, or even organs taken from other species, to replace the original organs of the human body. It is hard to tell whether people who have undergone profound transformation can still be called human beings.

In fact, this path has many supporters since ancient times. In the era of the home star, humans were not the fastest runners or the highest jumpers. The reason why humans dominated the home star was only because of an extremely developed brain. Since primitive times, people have always dreamed of possessing the power of an elephant, the agility of a liger, and so on.

In the civilized era, various superheroes, immortals, ghosts, gods, and Buddhas all have some shadow of this fantasy.

The three major forces currently dominant in humankind each have their own emphasis on the path of evolution.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty always advocated the unity of nature and man, emphasizing the strengthening of human beings. The ultimate goal is to accommodate all things in the world in one body, so it is a representative of the first path. The Insa Federation has the tradition of the great industrial revolution of the old era and advocates the advancement of hardware technology. Therefore, it is unparalleled in the field of exoskeletons and auxiliary combat armor. As for the Pan-Star Community, it is a collection of ragtag people, and most of them are located in areas with harsh living environments. Therefore, human body modification is prevalent, and humans who do not look like humans can often be seen running rampant everywhere.

It's not that the three major forces won't get involved in other fields. In fact, they all quietly study their opponents' fields. After all, mankind has no external enemies. The biggest enemy is mankind itself.

Chu Jungui was not in a hurry to choose practical courses, but first looked at the political system. He must first understand the political structure of his era and at least have a general direction so as not to be too confused.

The community implements a loose alliance system, and the Grand Council is the highest authority, but its binding force is also very limited. Each affiliated planet has the highest rights over its own affairs. The community cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the affiliated planets unless it is in a state of war or the Great Council passes a resolution.

The internal structure of the British-Satan Federation is tighter. Although each federal star domain has great autonomy, most of them are concentrated on internal affairs, while diplomacy and military affairs are uniformly exercised by the federal government. Although the Federation implements a presidential-parliamentary system, the various historical families have accumulated over thousands of years and have turned into behemoths. The Ring of Roses, composed of thirteen ancient families, is known as the shadow cabinet of the Federation.

Finally, there is the Tang Dynasty. The dynasty's imperial family is so large that it is better to call it an imperial clan. In fact, its predecessors can be traced back to multiple families. Although the emperor is a virtual king, he is the one whom the people of the dynasty look forward to. The prime minister leads the cabinet to govern the world, and the choice is changed every ten years. In addition, there are twelve ministers, known as the Zhuguo, who are divided into towns in various places. Some of the ministers of each pillar country were important ministers of the dynasty, while others were monarchs of powerful vassal kingdoms.

Xinzheng's political system followed the example of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but there were also differences. King Zheng has great power, and the prime minister and cabinet must act in accordance with the king's wishes. In the frontier star field, foreign enemies are at the forefront and there are many star thieves. It is even more necessary for government orders to be implemented vigorously and resolutely, so there are few people who oppose it.

After roughly understanding the basic structure of humankind, Chu Jungui quickly glanced at the current political events. There seems to be peace at the moment, but there are actually wars everywhere. On the surface, the Tang Dynasty and the Federation were in harmony, but secretly they were always at odds with each other, and they had quietly fought several wars. Although it is impossible to announce the results of the battle, judging from the official reaction, there should be a winner and a loser for each.

The Community acts erratically, always trying to play both sides, and constantly sowing discord between the federation and the dynasty. The relationship between the three major forces is so complicated that it is impossible to explain clearly. Just look at any angle and you can write dozens of monographs and support a dozen experts and professors.

The star field is extremely vast, and star thieves are rampant everywhere.

Some star thieves are indeed forced to do so. For example, the original star thieves came from the residents of abandoned planets on the edge, in order to survive and for revenge. After the three major forces were formed, they found that the Star Thief was the best cover to test each other's strength, so many shady activities were carried out in the name of the Star Thief. This is the reason why the Star Thieves can never be eliminated, but more and more are defeated.

After understanding the current situation, Chu Jungui did not delve into it in depth, but turned back to the lessons about individual combat power. After all, he is just a rookie student, and the money for his next meal has not yet been transferred to the chip. It would be a bit ridiculous to worry about world affairs now.

He clicked on the individual light weapons mastery course and saw that the course was divided into three parts: beginner, intermediate and advanced, but he could not find the familiar version number.

Not seeing the version number, Chu Jungui felt a little uneasy. He opened the introductory tutorial and rummaged around carefully, and finally found the version number in the course introduction entry. Chu Jungui was in awe, and with the heart of a pilgrim, he clicked on the introductory tutorial.

After a long time, Chu Jungui raised his head with a blank look on his face. He searched for a whole hour, tried all encoding schemes, and even tried multiple algorithms for unlocking high-level passwords, but still could not find the data download interface.

If it cannot be loaded, how can I study this book?
