Annihilation of the solar system

Due to limited fuel supply for private cars, buses and subways have become more crowded than before.

Maybe it's the end of the mobile phone information age, which has freed people from the shackles of screens. Or maybe it's because what happened recently is too unprecedented.

People crowded in the carriage, whether they knew each other or did not know each other, were discussing with each other various things related to the crisis and the temporary transition period.

Li Linjie did not participate in those discussions. He just huddled in the corner and stared blankly at the unusually smooth road outside the car, waiting quietly and impatiently to reach his destination.

Based on the information he received, he came to the government-designated volunteer recruitment center, which was Zeng Jin's Armed Forces Department.

After getting off the car, he was surprised to find that there were dozens of long lines lined up in the square of the Armed Forces Ministry. They were all volunteers who responded to the call.

This somewhat surprised Li Linjie. He originally thought that there would be only a few people like him who participated in the volunteer recruitment. However, he did not expect that the sight in front of him turned out to be thousands of people already lining up here.

When we arrived at the gate of the recruitment center, there was also a queue here. But the size of the queue was far smaller than the dozens of lines of hundreds of people on the playground.

The staff at the front of the queue said to a volunteer:

"Please show your volunteer recruitment identification QR code, which is included in the information you received from the volunteer recruitment center."

The volunteer took out the QR code on his mobile phone and the staff scanned it:

"C-level recruitment, please queue up in queues 1 to 14 to wait for the next step."

The volunteers were immediately released into the playground of the recruitment center.

The staff said to the next volunteer:

"Please show your volunteer recruitment identification QR code, which is included in the information you received from the volunteer recruitment center."

The volunteer took out the QR code on his mobile phone, and the staff scanned it and said:

"B-level recruitment, thank you for your decision, please queue up in queues 15 to 17 and register your information."

The volunteer in his twenties strode towards the queue he needed to go to with a proud smile on his face.

...

Li Linjie heard that most of the dozen or so people in front of him were C-level recruits, and only a few of the two or three were B-level recruits.

From the words of the staff and the number of queues, it can be seen that B-level recruitment is a higher-level recruitment than C-level recruitment. That may also mean that the environment where you have to serve may be more dangerous.

Li Linjie soon arrived at the entrance, and the staff said to him the same way:

"Please show your volunteer recruitment identification QR code, which is included in the information you received from the volunteer recruitment center."

Li Linjie had prepared the QR code he received yesterday. After scanning it, the staff raised his head and looked at him with a mixture of expectation and surprise:

"A-level recruitment! Mr. Li Linjie, thank you for your fearless choice in times of crisis. Please come with me."

Li Linjie was stunned for a moment before replying:

"okay."

As people around him looked at him with curiosity, admiration and even surprise, he followed the staff member and walked towards the playground.

They bypassed the long queues on the playground and walked towards a building next to the playground. When they entered the door of the building, two soldiers standing guard gave them a strong military salute, which made Li Linjie a little at a loss.

The hall was empty, and the staff member continued to lead him to the door of an office on the second floor. She knocked lightly. There was a sound of "come in" from the door. The staff member gently turned the door handle and opened the door.

Push halfway and lean in half:

"Hello, Li Linjie, the A-level recruitment volunteer, has arrived."

A voice came from inside:

"Ask him to come in!"

There is a chair in the middle of the office, and opposite the chair there is a row of tables and chairs across from the window.

There were five people sitting behind the table, two of whom were wearing military uniforms. Li Linjie could tell from the color of their uniforms that they were from the Air Force and the Navy respectively.

There were three other people, one of whom was older and looked like an expert in a certain field.

Next to him was a young woman with a computer in front of her who looked like she was responsible for recording.

Sitting in the middle was a somewhat fat middle-aged man. This formation made Li Linjie a little nervous and a little scared.

The fat man said:

"Mr. Li Linjie, thank you for your positive response to the volunteer call. Please sit down."

Li Linjie was a little nervous, so he just answered "Oh" and then carefully sat down on the chair in the middle.

The man in the middle said in standard Mandarin, which is rare in the local area:

"Don't be nervous, relax. I am the director of this city's volunteer recruitment office. The two people on my right are representatives of the Air Force and the Navy, and the two people on my left are government personnel and industry experts."

He looked at the paper in his hand and said: "

"Based on the information you filled in on the recruitment webpage yesterday and the evaluation of the psychological and comprehensive ability test questions, you have been classified into level A recruitment. We are conducting a voluntary recruitment interview for you today."

Li Linjie followed the director's introduction with his eyes, trying hard to remember where those people sat and their corresponding positions, which made him a little distracted.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the director continued to ask:

"When you signed up on the volunteer recruitment website, there was a "Volunteer Registration Instructions" before filling in the formal registration information. Have you read it carefully?"

Li Linjie's voice was still a little soft as he replied:

"Read it."

At this moment, he felt a little regretful. Yesterday, he just read the "Instructions" as if he had swallowed it wholeheartedly.

The director seemed to see the uneasiness in Li Linjie's eyes and picked up a piece of information from the table:

"Okay, in order to avoid ambiguity in text understanding, I will repeat to you the key points in the "Volunteer Registration Instructions", which are different from ordinary volunteer recruitment content.

First of all, the reason for this voluntary recruitment is due to the current unprecedented crisis, so the purpose of voluntary recruitment is to allocate social labor more efficiently, rather than purely voluntary behavior in the traditional sense.

Secondly, once you pass the volunteer recruitment interview, we will carry out targeted training and assignments for you. This process will consume a lot of very valuable material and time resources, so your volunteer application cannot be withdrawn or abandoned.

Third, the volunteer's service period will be determined according to the needs of the situation, and there is no fixed length of time.

In addition, we are interviewing you as a Level A recruiter. If we think you are not suitable, you will be assigned tasks as a Level B volunteer recruiter. Are you clear about this?"

Li Linjie was a little confused. Some of what the director just said had some impression on him, but most of it he had no impression at all.

Such a serious interview in front of him made him regret having filled out the volunteer application in a venting manner yesterday. He had always been used to hiding in the crowd and living like an ant. Even he himself couldn't believe it.

Sitting here to accept such a high-level interview.

But when he thought about it, he felt a lot calmer during the beginning of the crisis. Because there were always more exciting things to attract his attention, so that he did not have to be trapped in the whirlpool of pain.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and decided to treat this interview well. Not only did he want his inner troubles to no longer control him, but he also wanted to give himself a chance to break through. To see if he was the Bai Wu that Xiao Meng said before leaving.

A useful person.

"Li Linjie, did you hear clearly what I just said?" The director raised the volume of the inquiry.

Only then did he suddenly come to his senses, and he agreed again and again in a panic:

"Listen... listen clearly."

He silently glanced at the expressions of several interviewers, and they all looked at each other in confusion.

He swallowed his saliva and composed himself:

"I'm sorry, I was a little nervous just now. I heard what you just said clearly. Please continue."

The director nodded and said calmly:

"Well, let's ask our industry experts to conduct a professional ability test on you."

The older expert began to ask Li Linjie questions, all of which were related to construction-related professional knowledge.

Although Li Linjie has not spent much time in the construction industry in recent years, he has studied hard for four years in college and has solid basic knowledge. In addition, he has also obtained several construction qualification certificates in the past few years, so his book knowledge has not been lost.

.

Although he didn't answer the experts' questions fluently, he basically answered them. This round of more than ten minutes of questioning gave him a lot of confidence.

Ever since he ambitiously held a diploma and stepped out of college to join the construction industry, he has never found such confidence. Today, he feels that the knowledge he has studied hard for many years is finally put to use.

After the expert finished asking, he whispered a few words in the director's ear, and the director nodded:

"Your professional ability is quite good. I'll ask the military representative to ask you questions."

Li Linjie nodded, then turned his eyes uneasily to the two unflappable officers. The representative in the air force uniform asked first:

"Are you carsick, seasick, airsick? Are you afraid of heights?"

Li Linjie felt a little strange about the officer's question and replied:

"No. I'm not dizzy and I'm not afraid of heights."

The officer asked again:

"Have you ever done bungee jumping, skydiving or other extreme sports?"

Li Linjie shook his head:

"No, at most I have ridden a few roller coasters and a powered delta-wing aircraft in a scenic spot. I don't know if that counts."

The two officers exchanged glances, and the other interviewers also had strange smiles on their faces:

"I want to conduct a simple test on you..."
