Interstellar Examiner

Banyue Harbor has the largest space base station in the Milky Way, and is the most prosperous interstellar transportation hub in the Milky Way. All intelligent races from outer galaxies need to pass through Banyue Harbor if they want to enter the Milky Way.The daily passenger flow of the whole Banyue Port has to reach millions, and the heavy work makes the customs officers of the Banyue Port resign. There will always be two or three people resigning. This is a rather terrifying number. If Banyue Port has not established a special training school to replenish manpower at any time, the port will be closed sooner or later due to lack of manpower.

"I quit—"

Look, just less than 3 minutes after the introduction, a customs employee resigned.

I saw a tall Caucasian man rushing to the office of the head of customs with a livid face, kicking the door and entering, seeing the busy leader without knowing how to say hello, and throwing the white hat on his head hard on the desk , Shouted in a trembling voice: "I won't do it, I won't do anything!"

"Really?" After being treated so impolitely, Customs Inspector Randall Sharp downloaded a resignation agreement directly from the personal terminal on his wrist, printed it out, and handed it to the person in front of him. In front of a Caucasian guy who was about to resign, "After reading the agreement and confirming that it is correct, you can sign it, and go through the resignation procedures according to the terms of the agreement."

The Caucasian guy took the agreement, read it from top to bottom, and his face became more and more ugly. Finally, he tore up the agreement and said angrily: "I was almost taken away by an octopus monster on a spaceship just now. Hong Kong will not compensate me for mental damage, but still ask me to pay liquidated damages? What is the reason for this!"

Superintendent Sharp did not answer him, but just pressed the button, and a semicircular robot came out from under the table. After scanning the iris of the white guy, the robot said in a very nice male voice: "Hello, I am legal assistant A004 No. Since the daily workload of Sharp's supervisor is quite heavy, and there are too many people who request to resign, and the questions are quite repetitive, I will be responsible for explaining the contents of the agreement to you.

Employee Paul Nick, you entered the Banyue Port Staff Training School in February 1983, and you started working after 2 days of training.Banyuegang Training School will pay students salaries according to the probationary standard, with a monthly salary of 180 star coins per month.According to the current average salary of 14593/month in the Edra Empire, Banyuegang's monthly salary is equivalent to eight or nine months of ordinary people's monthly salary, and all board and lodging are included during the training period.Before entering the training school, each trainee will sign an agreement, which requires the trainees to work in Banyue Port for one year before resigning after the training, otherwise they will have to compensate all the tuition fees during the training period.It is now October 1983 in the ephemeris calendar, and you have asked to resign just two months after you took office. If you have not reached the minimum service period, Banyuegang has the right to demand liquidated damages from you. "

"But I was attacked just now, by an octopus! It's going to eat me!" Paul Nick obviously didn't accept this answer, "Even if I breached the contract and paid liquidated damages, will Ban Yue Harbor give me some Mental damage fee? I was almost eaten!"

"Mr. Nick," No. A004 of the Ministry of Justice continued, "that's not an octopus, but the Nilaks, the main intelligent race in the Bafila galaxy. 95% of the surface of all the planets in the Bafila galaxy are sea water. The prototypes are all marine creatures. He is the same human being as us, but the race is different. Please don’t use words to describe animals to call him. Once you are heard, you will be sued in the interstellar court for racial discrimination.

As for your question of being attacked, according to the database, you signed a risk agreement before taking office.One item in the agreement clearly pointed out that there are many intelligent races in Half Moon Harbor who have a hobby of collecting humans, and the customs officers themselves are very likely to be taken out by intelligent races from other galaxies as specialties of the Milky Way.When facing intelligent races with these tendencies, the customs officers must be cautious and avoid private contact with them, among them are the Nilaks.Banyue Port has very good security protection for customs officers. May I ask why you left your post to be alone with passengers and took off your alarm equipment? "

"This..." Paul Nick was stuck, looking at the chubby robot A004, unable to speak a word.

"According to the surveillance camera, before leaving the post, the passenger of the Nilak tribe shook your hand. After scanning and analysis, he should have stuffed something in your palm. May I ask what it is?"

"This..." Paul Nick began to sweat on his forehead. He wiped his face vigorously with his hand and said, "I don't want the mental damage fee, I will pay the compensation, as long as I can leave my job!"

"Very good," the light screen of A004 flickered, and handed the reprinted resignation agreement to Paul Nick with a mechanical hand, "Please sign the agreement, pay the liquidated damages at the self-service cash payment machine, and then go to the human labor department with the payment voucher. You can resign after getting the seal of the Resource Section. In addition, you will be responsible for the printing fee of the resignation agreement, so remember to pay the printing fee for two copies.”

Paul Nick didn't say anything this time, took the resignation agreement and signed it, and left the Customs Supervision Office disheartened.

After he left, Randall Sharp raised his head, pinched the center of his brows, and showed a trace of fatigue on his face.

After a short period of fatigue, Superintendent Sharp immediately returned to his previous elite appearance. He connected the human resources department and ordered: "Another employee has left the company and asked the training department to arrange ten people to come over."

The head of the human resources department said with a sad face: "The supervisor, it's not that we don't work, but the turnover rate is too high. Every month, 50-100 people resign, and the average employment time of each person does not exceed three months. It takes half a year to train a person at the training school, which is in short supply. The Paul Nick who resigned just now was obviously lured by the benefits offered by the tourists, so he left his post without authorization and was almost taken away by the Nilaks as a collectible. He like this You can’t approve his resignation at all. He should be fined to continue working on the post for a few more months on the grounds of dereliction of duty. Supervising Sharp, you are too soft-hearted, and you will release anyone who wants to leave. Sooner or later, Hong Kong will be paralyzed due to lack of people."

"People who are tempted by interests and can't stick to their posts are not suitable to be customs officers in Banyue Port. Today they are just personal collections, and tomorrow they may open the door for interstellar pirates. Such people cannot stay in Banyue Port." Rand Er said seriously, "Just tell me, can you arrange ten people to come over?"

"It's too difficult," said the head of the human resources department. "Except for a few students who did not graduate with poor grades, you have asked them to leave the students recruited half a year ago. Now there are only nine who passed the make-up exam, ten Personally... you really can't ask for less? Can you give me a little time?"

"Really not. After Paul resigned, his position was temporarily replaced by the cleaning robot S134. In less than half an hour, I have received more than a dozen complaints. The customs of some intelligent people are very strange. They think that the customs let Reception by a robot is a very insulting thing, so it must be received by a real person. Due to the lack of people, I have temporarily closed 9 security checkpoints. With the flow of people in Hong Kong for half a month, closing a security checkpoint is equivalent to delaying at least half of countless passengers. In the hour, we must find someone to take the top as soon as possible, otherwise some passengers may not be able to catch up with the spacecraft because of the queue." Randall Sharp felt very tired for a moment.

Hearing the sigh of the boss, Hao Hao, the head of the human resources department, couldn't say anything about the difficulties, and could only reluctantly say: "Forget it, I will find a student with excellent grades from among the students who have not graduated. Then you can send another robot Remind him from the side to help him, he should be able to persist for a while. I will immediately expand the number of students and improve the salary. I hope this time I can recruit some outstanding and determined students. The current children can withstand temptation and keep their duties Why are there so few? Sigh..."

Yang Xiaotian was taken to the human resources department with nine other graduates under the sigh of Section Chief Hao. After ten of them read the employment agreement and signed it, they were taken to their respective jobs.Different from others, Yang Xiaotian, who has just trained for four months, is accompanied by a semi-circular robot. Seeing Yang Xiaotian's eyes fall on him, the robot's light screen flickers, and a beautiful female voice says: "D , I am the auxiliary robot Z251, because your training period is not over. In case you have not learned some content, I will remind you next to you. Since many people don’t like robots as security inspectors, I can’t follow you directly, just I can be responsible for checking luggage in the security check room. Please take this wireless headset with you, and I will remind you of his race, characteristics, habits, abilities, preferences, taboos, etc. for every passenger you meet.”

Yang Xiaotian took what looked like an earring, stuck it on his earlobe, and saluted Section Chief Hao.

It was rare to see such a polite child, Section Chief Hao patted Yang Xiaotian on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "I know that it is very difficult for you to be hired after only four months of training, but this just proves your strength." Excellent. Among all the trainees, you are the only one who can pass the entrance examination after only four months of training. Banyue Port urgently needs such an excellent person like you. I hope you can be loyal, persistent, Take charge, create the most beautiful scenery for Half Moon Harbor and the customs of the Edra Empire!"

"Wang!"

"Huh?" Section Chief Hao, who was enthusiastically encouraging the new employees, looked at Yang Xiaotian suspiciously, and seeing his calm expression, he didn't look like a child who could suddenly joke, so he wondered, "Strange, where did he come from?" Can someone smuggle a national special-level protected animal? You follow Z251 to the post, and I will immediately check all the exits. You must not allow anyone to smuggle a dog hair, that is a special-level protected animal!"

Yang Xiaotian: "...Yes."
