Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 6 Quota
The Royal Court Academy is the highest-level military school in the old Federation. The school is divided into the inner school and the outer school. It has a very long history and is said to have existed before the establishment of the Federation. Therefore, the academy's admissions are extremely strict.

Tang Yan knocked on the table and said with a look of disappointment.

"Be confident. This year, the Imperial Court Academy has a quota of ten people for our thirteenth district, and a quota of one thousand people for the external school."

"Teacher, there are 300 million candidates in District this year. It's really hard to get so few places."

"Yeah, I guess only the top few students in the school have a chance."

The students in the classroom sighed one by one.

"If you can't get into the inner school, try the outer school! If that doesn't work, try an ordinary college! I know it's hard to get in, but I'm not making it difficult for you. I'm worried about you! If you get into the inner school of the Imperial Court Academy, you will be senior officers after graduation, and you will be the ones who are trained with emphasis. Each of you is a treasure with a bright future!"

"Of course, if you fail to get into the internal school, it's also good to get into the external school. You will be assigned a good position after graduation and your future will be bright. If you really can't get in, you have to find a way to get into a higher college. This way, even if you join the military after graduation, you can get a corporal or sergeant, which greatly increases your survival rate."

Tang Yan said earnestly.

"Teacher, what if we don't pass the exam?"

Huangmao asked helplessly.

"If you didn't pass the exam, then you can only participate in the red and black lottery and become a reserve soldier, commonly known as cannon fodder! Don't think I'm kidding you, once you become a cannon fodder soldier, you will be sent to serve in the most dangerous places."

Tang Yan reminded seriously.

When Su Ming heard this, his brows furrowed even more. This was the military service system of the old federation.

If you go to a college, you can postpone it for four years. Otherwise, you have to participate in military service and draw a red or black lottery. Those who win the lottery will serve in the military, and those who don't will not have to. The probability is half and half.

Those who are drawn will be reserve soldiers and will be sent to various battlefield areas for training. The mortality rate is extremely high and they are no different from cannon fodder.

So this is a nightmare for everyone.

However, if a student graduates from the Imperial Court Academy, he or she will be an officer as soon as he or she graduates, and will be the focus of training. He or she will definitely not be used as cannon fodder.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if you draw a bad lottery, everything will be fine and you don't have to serve in the military. You must find a regular job and cannot be unemployed, otherwise you will have to continue to participate in the lottery next year until ten years later when you will not have to serve in the military.

From this we can see that the military strength of the Old Federation was very tight.

"Ah, can you please not participate in the red and black lottery?"

Many students complained with tears in their eyes.

"Impossible, unless your physical condition does not allow it. But I advise you not to have any bad thoughts. This determination is very strict. Don't even think about deliberately hurting yourself to get away with it. The examiners are not vegetarians. Once they prove it was intentional, you'll be in jail for the rest of your life."

Tang Yan warned sternly.

In fact, the reason why Su Yuan and his wife allowed Su Ming to eat so much and get fat was not because they were spoiling him. In fact, it was somewhat intentional, so that it would be easier to control him after Su Ming became an adult.

"Oh, I got it."

Many students said dejectedly.

"Okay, now that I've told you about the bad things, I'm going to tell you something good. After the city exam, you will have a year-long vacation, which means free days. You can have fun as much as you want! There are welfare subsidies."

Tang Yan said to all the students with a smile.

"Oh yeah!"

Huangmao and others immediately cheered excitedly.

The so-called free day is actually a holiday for everyone to rest, play and enjoy life. Therefore, the results of the city exam will not be announced immediately, but will be announced after the holiday, and the red and black tickets will also be drawn at that time.

Tang Yan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then coughed, cleared his throat and spoke.

"Okay, we've finished talking about the city exam, now let's start reviewing. There are no classes this afternoon and tomorrow morning, so you can review freely and don't be lazy. Also, remember to prepare, tomorrow afternoon our class will go to the No. 3 computer room for mecha simulation combat training."

"clear."

Many students responded.

Su Ming's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. In fact, they had already been divided into different subjects and classes.

The results of the city examination are divided into two parts. One part is the score of basic cultural subjects, which everyone has to take and the test paper is the same.

There is also an additional score, which varies according to the selected subjects. The options include command department, mecha, fighter, land warfare, chemistry, physics, biology, etc. Among them, command department and mecha are the most popular subjects.

Of course, these minor subjects also determine what subjects you will study after entering a higher education college. For example, if your minor subject is the command department, you will enter a higher education college to study the command department, and you will most likely be a command officer when you graduate. After studying in the mecha department, you will be assigned to the mecha corps.

As for the minor subjects such as physics, chemistry and biology, they are studied to become scientific researchers and technical workers.

Although it is a minor subject, its proportion in the city examination is extremely high and is not inferior to the scores of basic subjects.

At this time, Tang Yan picked up the lesson plan and began to explain some key knowledge to everyone.

"Turn to Lesson 16 first, and let's review the key points of linear functions."

Su Ming opened the textbook and found the content that Tang Yan was reviewing. Looking at the densely packed line graphs and numbers on it, his brows raised slightly.

These knowledge points are so new, I have never been exposed to them before.

Fortunately, the boy is usually quite hardworking. Although his basics are average, at least he can still understand it. It is no problem for him to get 80 or 90 points out of 150 points.

There is still a month left. As long as I work hard to catch up, I might still have a chance.

Su Ming thought of this and listened to Tang's lecture attentively.

At noon.

Su Ming was reading a book while walking out of the classroom.

"Did you see that? That fat otaku was actually reading a book while walking. Has he changed his personality?"

"It's strange. Never mind. Don't worry about him. Maybe he wants to make a splash."

"Let's just forget about his half-baked grades. To be honest, Lin Chuyu's basic grades, out of a total of 150 points, were around 145 points."

"Too."

Su Ming kept flipping through the book, quickly imprinting the contents of the book in his mind to complete his memory of knowledge.

Not long after, Su Ming returned to the dormitory with the help of his memory. He found his bed, took out his clothes, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower and change into looser clothes.

After doing all this, Su Ming directly opened his drawer and took out the library card and synthetic chocolate bar.

This chocolate bar is his lunch.
