Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Zhao Zijie stopped filling in the form and turned to look behind him.

A young man in his thirties looked in the direction of Zhao Zijie with a wry smile.

Behind the young man, there were two young men, a man and a woman.

"how?"

The uncle continued to smile and said: "What new technology has Professor Lu come up with?"

Zhao Zijie's breath suddenly suffocated.

Professor Lu?

Is it Professor Lu Yongchang? !

He stared blankly at the young man known as Captain Bai, focusing all his attention on him.

The young man waved his hand helplessly: "This time it is not Professor Lu's achievement."

"It's a trick created by some sub-laboratories. I heard that quantum computers and weak artificial intelligence will be installed on the new generation of starships, and the original consoles will also be replaced with holographic images... No, our old pilots are now They all have to learn again.”

"Holographic image?! Artificial intelligence?!" Zhao Zijie finally couldn't restrain his inner excitement and exclaimed, "This, is this true?!"

"Uncle? Who is this?" The young man raised his eyebrows and asked the gatekeeper.

"Hey, the young people who signed up for starship pilot training are here for the interview." The uncle waved his hand casually and said.

A flash of interest flashed in the young man's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Zijie carefully.

"Kid, come on, if you pass the training, I'll treat you to hot pot!"

A slightly hoarse voice came from another young man.

Zhao Zijie nodded blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Then, uncle, let's go first." Captain Bai waved with a smile, turned around and walked into the door.

Zhao Zijie's eyes followed the footsteps of the three people from a distance.

"Boy, stop looking." The uncle's voice sounded again, "Hurry up and fill out the form."

He suddenly came back to his senses, turned to look at the gatekeeper, and asked cautiously: "Master, those three were..."

The uncle grinned, showing a bright and proud smile.

"They were the first pilots of the Xuannv Space Plane."

…

Because there were too many people for interviews, Zhao Zijie could only wait in the waiting room.

He subconsciously huddled in a corner and took deep breaths to relieve his nervousness.

"Next, Zhao Zijie, please come to the A2 office for an interview."

His name rang out over the radio.

…

"Why did you sign up for this training, or why do you want to become a starship pilot?"

As soon as he sat down on the chair, the chief umpire in front of him posed a problem of the century.

Zhao Zijie was silent for a while, with various answers coming to his mind.

But in the end, he chose to speak out his inner thoughts.

"As an ordinary person, I don't want to look at other people's faces when a crisis comes."

"I hope I can survive this crisis."

Upon hearing Zhao Zijie's answer, the presiding judge frowned instantly.

In the past few days, he had heard countless glib answers. Some said they were training for the rise of the People's Federation, some said they were setting up their minds for the heaven and earth, establishing their lives for the people, inheriting their unique knowledge for the saints, and creating peace for all generations.

But it was the first time he heard such a simple and undisguised answer from Zhao Zijie.

He said nothing and silently put a question mark on the paper in front of him.

As for why he put the question mark... In his opinion, Zhao Zijie's answer showed an extremely obvious tendency to retreat and run away.

This is an absolutely undesirable mentality for the current human alliance starship pilots!

As for Zhao Zijie, the moment he saw the chief examiner's frown, his heart rate began to rise sharply.

what to do?

Failed?

If I had known earlier, I should have made up a random reason...

Why……

For a moment, Zhao Zijie was confused and filled with regret.

"Ahem!"

The chief examiner coughed slightly, interrupting Zhao Zijie's thoughts.

"Don't be nervous, next question."

"Do you know anything about the Xuannv series of starships?"

The moment he heard the question, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly: "I have studied the official books on my own, and I am very familiar with the operating procedures of the Xuannv series starships!"

The chief examiner let out a slight sigh, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "Oh?"

"Then let me test you."

"..."

…

After an assessment, the tangled look in the eyes of the chief examiner became more intense.

The guy in front of me has a very solid theoretical foundation, which can be said to exceed 99% of the applicants.

But this ideology...

"Tsk..." The chief examiner tskted slightly, turning to look at the assistant aside, "Show me Zero's evaluation."

The assistant hurriedly took a document from the side.

In the document, Zero detailed his observations of Zhao Zijie.

"According to the evaluation, Zhao Zijie has a strong ability to observe details, correct values, and a sense of justice. He is worth cultivating."

The chief examiner took another deep breath.

After struggling for a while, he silently drew a tick on the paper in front of him.

"Congratulations, you passed this interview."

The chief examiner said in a deep voice: "Next, a staff member will take you to the classroom for the second round of written examination."

…

After a few minutes.

Zhao Zijie followed the chief examiner's assistant in a daze, walking down a corridor filled with cold light.

Perhaps because he passed the interview, the joy disturbed his thoughts, and he subconsciously remembered the scene on the high-speed rail.

"That... there is something I want to ask."

"What?" The assistant to the chief judge slowed down his pace subconsciously.

"Is the child healthy?" Zhao Zijie said in a somewhat hurried tone, "Such a young child cannot be given tranquilizers!"

The assistant to the chief judge stopped abruptly.

"What... are you talking about?" The assistant turned around slowly and looked at Zhao Zijie with a puzzled look, "What child? And, we never use tranquilizers indiscriminately."

Zhao Zijie's pupils shrank suddenly.

An incredible guess came to his mind.

"You... those waiters and train police in the high-speed railway station, aren't they the ones you arranged for assessment?"

The assistant was stunned: "Did you figure it out?"

"Yes, some of the waiters and passengers are indeed our people. The purpose is to observe your performance in daily life and make a simple analysis of your personality."

"Then, what about the human trafficker?!" Zhao Zijie's tone suddenly became excited, "Isn't that an actor you arranged?"

Hearing this, the assistant remembered the record he saw in Zero's analysis report just now.

He chuckled and shook his head slowly: "Of course not, it is indeed a coincidence."
