Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 688 Selection
"I'm back, wife!"

"I'm back. Uh, it's so cold. Why did you turn the air conditioner on so low? Are you crazy? Using the air conditioner and the electric stove?"

The woman who had just stepped into the room shivered due to the cold air in the room. She quickly looked up at the man in the room, only to see that the man was sitting in the hall with an electric stove in front of him.

The room was now air-conditioned to 5 degrees Celsius, so the woman had to ask the smart system to adjust the temperature to a comfortable range as soon as she entered the room. However, before she could open her mouth, she heard the man's leisurely voice.

"On Earth, today should be the winter solstice, but unfortunately there is no such festival now." The man said as he stood up and walked to his kitchen. After a while, he brought out a large pot of hot dumplings and a large plate of glutinous rice cakes. "These two are considered to be the common foods eaten by people on the winter solstice in the Earth era. Come, honey, try them and see how my handmade products are!"

The woman did not take the dumplings and glutinous rice cakes from the plate. Instead, she looked at her husband suspiciously, then reached out her hand and touched his forehead: "This is not a disease. I say, is your Earth-missing syndrome acting up again?"

The woman made up the phrase "Missing the Earth Syndrome" casually. She withdrew her hand while speaking. She was now wearing thin clothes, but she did not put on any clothes because it was cold. Instead, she immediately turned on her overclocking mode to resist the cold climate.

She is a new generation human, while her husband is an Earthling from the Callisto era. The age difference between them is 1,800 years, but that does not prevent them from becoming husband and wife.

"To create some atmosphere, I have already signed up online for the Tianqin warrior selection, and I have passed the test. If nothing unexpected happens, the notice will come soon. We will have to part for hundreds of years." Chen Yinan, who had a forty-year-old face, simply threw away the heavy coat on his body and turned on his human body overclocking mode.

The main reason was that he saw the woman turned on the overclocking mode. If he didn't turn it on, he would be no match for her if something went wrong.

"It tastes good. What's the filling? It's a bit sticky." The woman nodded, then moved closer to the man, picked up the dumpling and put it into her mouth.

"An improved version of the ancient beast, originally from the Gnoll Planet. The alien meat products used in the dumpling fillings on Earth are only edible in this interstellar age. If it were in the past, it would be unthinkable. Hmm, the meat is really sticky." The man also threw a dumpling into his mouth and started eating.

"Did you really pass the test?" The woman picked up the glutinous rice cake next to her and started eating. This glutinous rice cake was made of glutinous rice flour, but it seemed to be mixed with some alien ingredients. However, the woman had never eaten real Earth glutinous rice cake, so she couldn't tell the difference.

"How could this be false? Although your husband is not as smart as you, I am very good at developing the field of spiritual consciousness. The test results are out. My perception in the spiritual field and control in the subconscious mind both exceed the admission indicators. I estimate that I will be able to go to the Tianqin in ten days or half a month to adapt to the real consciousness link." The man's tone was full of pride. He thought he would just live an ordinary life, but he didn't expect that he had a talent in this area.

The man was from the Callisto era, but he was not an elite scientific researcher or anything like that. He was just an ordinary person through and through. He used to be a soldier in the Security Department, but as time went by, his service term was up, so he returned to a certain residential spaceship and lived an ordinary life.

Later, he met a woman who was a scientific researcher here. The two hit it off, got married, and gave birth to three children. However, the children now have their own lives, so the two of them have been living together.

He had no worries about food and drink, and he often brought back memories of the Earth era to spice up his life. Women also liked him like this. Just like this time, after the two of them finished eating these things, they probably had to be affectionate again. As for the selection of soldiers for the Tianqin, those with strong consciousness control and perception abilities were selected as one of the 8,000 pilots.

The Tianqin has been built, and the selection of 8,000 pilots required for the consciousness link will naturally be put on the agenda. As the most powerful and advanced flagship of mankind, the personnel required must of course be the most outstanding talents.

This type of selection not only selects those with good control over the mental consciousness field, but also requires sufficient military knowledge and various battlefield adaptability assessments. After all, as a pilot, although not necessarily the person who directly controls the action of the warship, but in a shared third-person perspective, he still has to "listen in all directions and see in all directions", so basic military literacy requirements must be met.

Because there are high requirements for the control over one's own dreams, this selection is not limited to the military, but is open to all of humanity.

It was in this situation that the man rediscovered his life value. He originally thought that he would just be an ordinary man behind his wife in this life, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to face the stars and the sea.

Although spending a lifetime on a habitable spaceship and sailing through the universe with a large human fleet can be considered traveling through the sea of ​​stars, how can this feeling be compared to being a pilot of a human flagship, which means truly facing the deep universe head-on.

The number of consciousness linking devices is limited, and now almost all humans know that their racial talent is third-person dreams. Therefore, being able to board a new warship and become a pilot so that their talent can be put to good use has become the dream of many humans.

However, what these ordinary people don’t know is that the number of warriors selected and admitted to the Tianqin is not just 8,000, but more than 20,000. This is only the current plan, and the number may increase in the future.

The reason is simple: reserve personnel and replacement personnel are needed.

As far as humans know, driving a warship in a third-person perspective using a consciousness connection will cause mental fatigue, so it is impossible to meet the minimum requirements. If there are only 8,000 people, what will happen if everyone gets tired halfway through the battle? There must be replacement pilots.

For humans, everyone has this talent, so there is no need to worry about having no one, and the new Tianqin is large enough to accommodate a million people.

So personnel is not a problem. In this case, it is natural to select the most elite people first.

This is simply unthinkable in other civilizations. The awakener civilization cannot do it like humans, because even for the awakeners, every individual life with awakened talent is extremely precious, otherwise they would not treat the awakening of fallen civilizations as a business.
