Astral Apostle

   Chapter 233 Exploration Bureau

  The suspension car slowly lifted into the air, drove out of the light blue induction cover covering the Super Energy Academy, and flew past the vast forest.

  In the car, the windows were all turned dark, obscuring the flying scenery outside.

  Zhou Jing and other students sat in their seats, handed in their personal terminals, and were listening to Shen Xinqin explain the rules.

"The Exploration Bureau is a secret department, and its location is not open to the public, so personal communication devices are not allowed on this trip. When you are in the bureau, you must follow me and not run around at will. Violators will be warned to deduct points and cancel the reservation. Recruitment qualifications, detention and investigation in severe cases..."

  Everyone nodded again and again, even Lin Kun's face is full of flesh, and now he looks like a well-behaved.

   Zhou Jing listened silently, recalling the content of the previous course in his heart.

   The explorers of the various star alliance allies have a certain competitive relationship with each other, so the explorers in the compilation are similar to agents and spies. The Exploration Bureau will also guard against information leakage and outsider infiltration.

Generally, students who receive the science training of explorers belong to the category of "part-time". During the academy, they will not be arranged to visit the Exploration Bureau. After graduation, they can only go to the Exploration Bureau for the first time when they are recruited and need to serve. .

  Only those students who have received appointments are the official members of the Exploration Bureau, and they are qualified to visit the Exploration Bureau and the place where they will work in the future.

   The reason they were given a visit so quickly was also how the prospective members were observed to observe the code of conduct. If you badly violate the rules during the visit, you will no longer be hired for an appointment, lest you enter the Exploration Bureau after graduation to contact more confidential information, and turn around and leak it.

   After a while, the hover car slowed down, began to descend slowly, and finally stopped.

   The air pressure valve snorted and the hatch opened.

   Zhou Jing and others followed Shen Xinqin to disembark, and what they saw was a medium-sized ship port with many aircraft and hover vehicles parked.

And this ship port is located in a closed space, with no entrance and exit. The dome and surrounding are surrounded by metal walls, without any windows, and the outside scene cannot be seen. It is illuminated by rows of white lamps embedded in the walls. It feels like the location is either underground or in the mountains.

   At this time, a man in a black uniform stood on the apron of the hovering car. When he saw everyone leaving the cabin, he stepped forward to greet him and nodded to Shen Xinqin:

   "Hello Captain Shen, please come with me for a routine inspection."

   "I understand the rules."

  Shen Xinqin smiled indifferently, and led the students to a room on the edge of the ship harbor with him.

   There are many staff members in the room. They are unsmiling. They scan the group with various detection instruments to ensure that they do not carry any items that violate the regulations.

   Everyone cooperated one by one.

   It is not forbidden to speak during the inspection. Some students were a little nervous because of a group of serious staff. They couldn’t help but have nothing to say, and asked Shen Xinqin:

   "Mr. Shen, you are a fifth-level power user, why is the rank of captain..."

   Everyone also looked over and became curious.

   Fifth-level power users already belong to the high-level category, and they can be regarded as high-level in various institutions, but Shen Xinqin seems to have a low military rank in the exploration bureau, and the gap is very large.

Shen Xinqin smiled and said: "The rank of the Exploration Bureau has its own promotion system. The proportion of strength is not the main one, but the merits are calculated according to the positive results of each service. The more service, the better the effect, and the rank can be promoted. ."

   Now that the conversation started, she simply continued to explain:

"This is what you will learn later, and it doesn't matter if you say it simply. The rank establishment of the explorers represents both the service record and the duty responsibility. It is divided into two stages. The first stage is the executive level, It is divided into recruits, private soldiers, senior soldiers, and sergeant majors, and the second stage is the decision-making level, which is divided into lieutenants, colonels, and generals.

   All new recruits who are officially recruited have the rank of recruits. After completing their service and meeting some indicators, they can be converted into private soldiers, and then they are promoted to senior soldiers, but they are all grass-roots executives and can only be selected as team members. Only when you are promoted to the rank of sergeant major are you eligible to form a long-term independent team, serve as a captain, serve as a team unit, and perform exploratory missions.

   When you reach the decision-making level, you can provide plans for exploration projects in different star realms. After approval, you have the right to mobilize explorers to implement the plan you are responsible for. I belong to the rank of lieutenant, and I am already a member of the decision-making level of the my country Exploration Bureau on this planet, and I am considered a senior. "

   After everyone heard it, they were all stunned.

   Zhou Jing nodded secretly.

   In this way, no matter how powerful the newcomer is, after joining... After joining the job, they all start as soldiers and are selected by others.

   I don’t know what kind of team I will be picked up in the future.

   Everyone quickly finished the inspection, put on a temporary ID card, and then walked all the way along the passage under the leadership of Shen Xinqin.

   Soon, everyone reached the end of the passage, got on the elevator, and arrived at a floor.

   This floor is like the offices of some financial companies, with a large number of workstations. Each workstation has several electronic screens, which display various information and data. The personnel of the Exploration Bureau in uniform write and draw on the screen. No one speaks, only the sound of crackling characters.

"This is the Intelligence Analysis Department. Civilians and explorers who do not need to serve temporarily are usually here to analyze the intelligence data of various star realms and make predictions about the evolution of the world. The research categories include not limited to the geography, astronomy, biology, History, culture, etc. The information obtained will be handed over to the Strategic Decision Department as the material for formulating an exploration plan.”

   Shen Xinqin explained on the side.

   All the students nodded quickly.

   Hearing the movement, many members of the Exploration Bureau turned their heads and looked over, then turned back to continue their work.

   There were also staff members who were familiar with Shen Xinqin and greeted them casually.

   "Sister Shen, how about bringing a new person? I just don't have any secrets, come here." A man wearing glasses laughed.

  Shen Xinqin nodded, led everyone to the man with glasses, pointed at the other side's screen, and said:

   "Because the D19 plane is about to meet, the focus of the intelligence analysis department is now focused on this astral plane..."

   Hearing this, Zhou Jing's eyes moved, and he looked carefully at the page on the screen.

  The above content is the detailed historical information of the D19 plane. It came to an abrupt end a few years after the establishment of the Daxia Dynasty. This is the time when the last meeting period ended. The content behind is in a different font, and it seems to be the analysis report of the man with glasses.

"...According to the information of the Surveying and Mapping Department, the time interval between the two confluence periods of the D19 plane is 140 to 260 years. The mainstream country is the Daxia Dynasty. According to the development process of the feudal era and the composition of the ruling, the natural The probability of evolution deviating from the normal historical track is less than 10%, and the current state should belong to one of the era models such as the end of the dynasty, the change of the dynasty, the struggle for hegemony, and the invasion of aliens..."

   "According to the degree of civilization, technological development trend, and super power development trend observed last time, it can be estimated that this astral world will continue to be at a low level of martial arts, and the value of development and exploration is low."

"A brief record of interference: Chinese explorers assisted Daxia to establish a country, and in the Daxia Dynasty, they left some ancient handicrafts and farming knowledge, and pretended to be aborigines to create several sect-type organizations, as a disguise for convenience, interference Moderately."

   "Special precautions: According to the report from the intelligence personnel, it is suspected that explorers from other countries have left incomplete superpower knowledge on Continent No. 3, the interference is high, and the impact is unknown, so it cannot be included in the prediction model for the time being."

   Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes.

   The interference of explorers in the main world really exists, but I didn’t expect that it would interfere not only with the Great Xia Dynasty... Also, the places where the explorers come may not all be in the same place, and they may fall into all corners of the world.

   He had seen the map a long time ago. There are four continents in this astral world. Daxia is the mainstream regime in this world, and the continent where it is located is marked as number one by the main world.

   In addition, there are some scattered regimes, which are unpopular, while the third continent mentioned in the report has some small regimes belonging to other cultural lineages.

   At this moment, Shen Xinqin patted the man with glasses on the shoulder and complained to everyone:

   "Although their work is called analysis, I'm used to it as a nonsense. The predictions of these intelligence officers always have huge deviations from the real situation. I haven't seen them accurate a few times."

The man with glasses said in a helpless tone: "We have mission indicators. If we don't give a report before the deadline, we will be fined. Of course, we will make the assignment first. Besides, after so many years after the meeting of a star realm, we don't know what happened. What, how can the analysis be accurate?"

"exactly."

   Shen Xinqin was noncommittal.

   She took everyone to visit the Intelligence Analysis Department, and then greeted everyone to leave.

   Zhou Jing wanted to read other people's reports, but now he doesn't want to act casually, so he has to go with everyone.

   Everyone got on the elevator and went to another floor.

   This layer is wider, and there are special silver-white devices, which are debugged by many researchers.

   "These silver-white devices are shuttle devices. Explorers who serve in service go to different worlds here. We generally call this the 'departure platform'..."

   Everyone immediately became interested and looked at the shuttle device carefully.

   The base of this device is a metal circular platform with a diameter of about five meters and is covered with fine and intricate lines. It looks like a fine device at first glance. Next to it is a right-angled mechanical pillar, extending upwards, with three silver-white square pillars at the end, which look like huge claws, hanging down to cover the top of the round table.

   "When the device starts, the three square columns will start to rotate, and after reaching a certain speed, the people standing on the round platform will shuttle." Shen Xinqin briefly introduced.

   "Teacher, what does it feel like to travel?"

   Some students couldn't help asking.

   At this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded not far away, and interrupted to answer:

"You will see countless illusions flashing in your sight, but you can't remember any of them. When you come back to your senses, you are already in a strange world, your mind is spinning, your stomach is overturned, like drinking a few buckets After drinking, he was hung up and turned tens of thousands of times, and he was so dizzy that he wanted to spit out the overnight meal."

   Everyone was stunned and looked at the sound.

  I saw more than a dozen people walking over, tall or short, male and female, unlike ordinary staff who were uniformly dressed in the uniform of the Exploration Bureau, each with their own attire.

   Shen Xinqin saw this and introduced to everyone:

"They are the explorer captains who came to inspect you this time, and your files have been shown to them. When you graduate, you will most likely serve in one of the teams, and there may be your future among them. boss."

   Hearing this, everyone immediately became nervous and could not help but stand up straight.

   Soon, a group of captains approached and looked at the students.

  One of the tall and burly men rubbed his chin, pouted, and spoke in a rough voice, his tone dissatisfied:

   "These newcomers are of average quality."
