After the college entrance examination.

After the college entrance examination results and the admission scores of various universities were released, Yun Xinghe, who was already 20 years old, sat around with a dozen of his closest friends and discussed the issue of filling out the application form.

Yun Xinghe had already decided on the goal of filling in the application—Bola Star Aerospace Academy, majoring in star exploration.

The Aerospace Academy located in Dongfang City has a history of nearly a thousand years and ranks among the top ten most influential institutions of higher education on the Planet of Bora.

There are three main purposes for establishing the Aerospace Academy.

1. Provide fresh blood and talents to the Federation’s 11th Star Fleet.

2. Cultivate various talents in the aerospace field.

3. Cultivate interstellar explorers.

When Yun Xinghe applied for this school, he naturally hoped to complete basic skills training in this academy, master the ability to actually control the spacecraft, and systematically learn how to become an excellent interstellar explorer.

You know, being an interstellar explorer is not something you can just become if you want to be. It doesn’t mean that as long as you have a spaceship in your hand, you can go straight to a strange galaxy and realize your dream of getting rich and famous. So simple.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of interstellar explorers will go through the following steps from having a dream, to owning their own exploration spacecraft, to setting sail to realize their dreams:

First of all, the major should be the corresponding major. The major studied in the university must be a major related to star exploration.

Secondly, they must serve for five years on a starship in the Federation fleet, perform well, and obtain a job qualification certificate.

Finally, after passing all aspects of assessment, they were selected into the pioneer astronaut team of the Federal Space Exploration Agency, formed a professional team, assigned advanced exploration spacecraft, and started their adventure journey.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the activity of finding habitable galaxies and opening up more living space is mainly promoted by the federal government.

So, can an individual or private team bypass the federation and go on an interstellar adventure privately?

After all, it is too troublesome to go through official channels. Not only is it troublesome, but it also has many restrictions.

This is okay. The government does not restrict private exploration, and will even encourage it to some extent - as long as you report the habitable galaxies you find to the federal Space Exploration Agency.

However, the purpose of private expeditions is not for the whole of mankind, but for their own small personal goals, so the government will not give them much support.

For example, the government will not provide the star map that must be used on the spacecraft to private individuals. Without an accurate star map, how many light years is a certain twinkling star in the sky away from you? Is it a star dozens of light-years away, or a quasar hundreds of millions of light-years away? It's impossible to tell. You may think that the star is not far away, but your spacecraft may never reach there.

In addition to star maps, are there heavy element planets in some star systems? Is there any value in exploring them? The Starry Space Exploration Bureau will first conduct a screening through various astronomical observation equipment. Even if there may be fish that have slipped through the net, more than 99% of the excluded stars are indeed of no exploration value, thus avoiding a lot of useless work.

There is also some common sense in astronomy. If some people don’t understand it, they may make a huge joke.

For example, in a star system with a large number of heavy elements distributed, the size of its main star is 10 times that of the sun. Is such a star system worth exploring?

The answer is no. The internal fusion reaction speed of a giant star that is ten times larger than the sun increases exponentially. If the life of the sun is 10 billion years, such a giant star will only live for 10 million years. In the end, it will Under the action of gravitational collapse, it will either explode as a supernova or directly become a black hole.

Therefore, star systems that cannot exist for a long time are first excluded from the exploration list.

There are also well-designed detection spacecraft, material reactors and high-power engines used by military starships. Private forces do not have these technical reserves at all, and they may not even be able to make population bombs. Even if private forces find one or two suitable Even if they live in the galaxy, they cannot independently develop it and devour it privately.

The reality is also the same. Since the establishment of the Blue Star Federation, in more than 1,500 years, more than 100 habitable galaxies have been found by detection spacecraft sent by the government. Most of those private spacecraft that want to try their luck have disappeared into the vastness. In the starry sky, there is nothing to return and nothing to gain.

Yun Xinghe is very confident about being admitted to the Aerospace Academy. His scores will definitely be high and there won't be any problems.

The grades of the friends around me are not bad, and the admission score of the Aerospace Academy is not particularly high (mainly because there are relatively few people applying). If they all apply to this academy, most people should be able to get into it.

But to Yun Xinghe's surprise, on July 22, after the college entrance examination scores came out, five or six of the dozen or so friends whose scores exceeded the admission score of the Aerospace Academy gave up.

"Boss Xinghe, my girlfriend wants me to apply for the Lanzhou Conservatory of Music with her. She wants to be a star, and I want to support her by her side." A sunny and handsome boy said, lowering his head and looking a little ashamed. .

Lan Xiulong next to him opened his mouth, and the muscles on his face twitched, wanting to curse: You bastard, for the sake of women, you even gave up your brothers, and you have completely forgotten all the ideals and wishes we made together!

Yun Xinghe pulled Lan Xiulong, signaling him not to get angry with his eyes, and said to his partner with some regret: "Xiaokang, we all know that you love your girlfriend very much. In this case, I won't force it. I hope you can Cultivation will be successful until the end."

Having said that, Yun Xinghe was not optimistic about Sun Kang and his girlfriend being able to make it to the end, because through [advanced mind reading], he discovered that Sun Kang's girlfriend was a hypocritical and pretentious woman. Sun Kang was together purely for money, and he was very good at pretending and hiding it very deeply. Yun Xinghe was worried that Sun Kang would cause a big problem for this woman.

But he kindly reminded him that he would definitely be angry, and the relationship between friends would become tense. He invited him to apply for the aerospace academy together. At this time, he had no interest, and it was impossible to pull him back. After thinking about it, he gave up his efforts, and he fell deeper and deeper into the trap. The deeper.

We can only choose another person to replace this excellent repair officer.

"Thank you, Boss Xinghe."

Sun Kang blushed and was ashamed, and did not even dare to look into Yun Xinghe's eyes.

"Xinghe...Boss Xinghe, I may not be able to go to your school. My parents want me to take over their company. If I leave, this...this company will have no share of me."

Another friend stuttered.

"Zhang Zhichao, it's just a small company worth tens of billions. How do you treat it like a treasure? Can you have some ambition?"

Lan Xiulong couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at him and cursed.

"Zhichao, if we can find a planet, wouldn't its value be much higher than that of a small company? You only have such a small ambition? We really think too highly of you." Sugaru said with a disappointed look on his face.

"No, no."

Zhang Zhichao shook his head quickly and said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that interstellar exploration is too dangerous, and it's very possible that I won't be able to come back. My parents are afraid that something will happen to me, so..."

At this time, even Yun Xinghe shook his head in disappointment and sighed: "Zhichao, I used to think you would be an excellent chief engineer, but now it seems that you are just a vulgar vulgar person, you go Well, I don’t have a brother like you, so from now on, don’t say in front of others that you know us.”

"Boss of Galaxy..."

Zhang Zhichao yelled, but no one paid attention to him. He had to bite his lips, lowered his head, and left the Yun family.

With the two precedents of Sun Kang and Zhang Zhichao, three or four of the remaining less than ten partners also stood up with a little shame, said sorry, and left the Yun family silently... …no more excuses.

In the end, there were only five people left in the living room except Yun Xinghe.

Namely: Du Xiaopang, Su Jialu, Lan Xiulong, Xianglan Mikoto, and sister Yun Qiaoqiao.

They are all members of the team who stayed from middle school.

Not a single person increased.

Yun Xinghe was very disappointed. During the five years of high school, he had millions of good brothers in the game, but now, none of them were willing to follow him.

He really failed.

"This is normal. Adults have adult thoughts. They are more realistic and easier to be convinced by the people around them. Compared with illusory dreams, they may care more about their girlfriends and parents. They have many things that are difficult to let go of. things, so it is difficult for adults to be moved by dreams, unless this dream can be easily realized."

The old man in his mind said.

"Xinghe, don't be depressed anymore. You have at least a few partners who have been with you until now. When you get to the Aerospace Academy, you will have more like-minded people. You don't have to worry about not having enough people in your team. In your dream The cradle of sailing, you can raise a team with enough numbers!”

"Cradle Place?"

Hearing this word, Yun Xinghe's depression was swept away, he clenched his fists and said, "I know, grandpa!"
