Jiang Sheng saw the list on the forum and said, "...So there are 380 students from other schools who want to participate in our space exploration?"
When Xia Chujian saw this message, she finally understood why their boarding time had been repeatedly postponed.
Chen Yanjun shrugged and said, "...Whose powerful family's child is this? Even though he's not in the First Military Academy, he still wants to participate in this space exploration?"
Xia Chujian looked at him in surprise: "Why do you think so?"
She wondered, why would some nobles let people into such a dangerous activity without knowing the consequences?
Isn't this like an old man eating arsenic - seeking death?
Chen Yanjun said: "I don't have any reason, I just feel this way."
He comes from a family of earls, so he probably has a more thorough understanding of these things...
Xia Chujian thought about it and didn't care too much.
After all, no matter how many students from other schools come, at least they are students of the Beichen Empire. It is better than selecting foreign students from abroad to participate in their school's starry sky exploration activities, right?
Xia Chujian was able to clearly distinguish between such contradictions between the enemy and ourselves and contradictions among the people.
The "leaked" gossip and selection list did not cause much stir in the Empire's First Military Academy, but it caused a greater response in other military academies.
Because the freshmen of those schools found that the candidates selected for this event were not the top 20 students with the best college entrance examination scores, but the group of students with average college entrance examination scores.
Those people were neither better than the best nor worse than the worst. Their high school grades before the college entrance examination were very poor. They basically relied on cramming at the last minute, guessing, and a little bit of luck to perform better than usual and thus get into these pretty good military academies.
In fact, with their grades, if they had not applied to a military academy, they would not have been able to get into a university of this level.
Because the college entrance examination score requirements for non-military academies are higher.
Only military academies do not have such high requirements for the college entrance examination scores of civilian students.
Military academies that students with average grades can get into are ranked higher than ordinary universities.
But once you go to military school, you join the army.
This cannot be compared with the freedom after graduating from an ordinary university.
And this time, these people found that their good luck appeared again!
They will represent their respective schools and go to the top-ranked military academy in the Beichen Empire to participate in their starry sky adventure!
Moreover, food and accommodation expenses are fully included, and there is even a subsidy of 10,000 Beichen coins per month during the three months of participating in the event!
That’s 30,000 Beichen coins in three months!
In those secondary military academies, 30,000 Beichen coins, the total cost of tuition and living expenses for one year, is just this amount!
This means they can reduce their student loan debt by one year...
Who wouldn't rush to get this good thing?!
Because of these excellent conditions, students with good college entrance examination scores in these schools became dissatisfied and questioned the schools, asking why only students with average college entrance examination scores were allowed to participate in the First Military Academy's starry sky exploration activities?
Is it that their grades are not good enough, or that their quality is not high enough?
Why can't we select the best candidates for this activity that obviously requires high intelligence and hands-on ability?
Why should students who are not as good as them be allowed to represent the school in activities?
Aren't they afraid that they will bring shame to the school, damage its reputation, and prevent it from recruiting good students in the future?!
These students with good college entrance examination scores are actually very honest in their daily lives and generally do not go against the school.
But when it comes to their own future and student loans, no one wants to back down, and even less want to be deprived of the right to choose without saying a word.
So, with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, these students even ignored the military academy's ban and directly brought the matter to the Star Network's social media.
The military academy originally had a clear rule that things happening in the school could not be posted on StarNet by people inside the academy.
But this time, they couldn't care less.
The school leaders of the Beichen Empire’s First Military Academy also saw these trending searches and the increasingly surging wave of public opinion.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan obviously did not anticipate this social consequence.
He wondered to his attendant, "...Isn't it just a spot on a space exploration? Why is there such a fierce competition?"
“These people couldn’t participate before…”
The emperor's attendant whispered, "Your Majesty, these students are the future backbone of the military..."
"Although they are unlikely to become high-ranking officers in the future, they are the middle and low-level officers."
"Your Majesty, would you please reconsider this? I feel that the Dongtianyuan Divine Nation is deliberately trying to create a barrier between Your Majesty and our future mid-level military officers..."
"He has a wolfish ambition and deserves death!"
This attendant also came from a commoner family, and he still had a little sympathy and compassion for those commoner students who were working hard to improve themselves, so he chose to speak for them.
But Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan simply didn't think so much.
He thought for a moment with a strange expression on his face, then nodded and said, "You have a point."
"Fortunately, let's release the list first to let some air out."
“It hasn’t been officially decided yet.”
"How about this? You go inform Vice Principal Shao of the First Military Academy and tell him that this is my decree. Have him create an exam and give it to the freshmen of the top twenty military academies, including our First Military Academy. If you're not a Star Destroyer major or an Interstellar Alliance student, but you want to participate, you can take the exam!"
"As long as you rank in the top 20 in each school, you will be eligible to participate in this space exploration activity."
…
A few days later, the Cabinet Academy of the Beichen Empire officially issued the Emperor's decree, saying that in order to train military academy students and allow them to better understand the difficult prospects and tough challenges they would face as soldiers of the Beichen Empire, the Emperor decided to open the best professional starry sky exploration activities of the First Military Academy to the top 20 military academies in the entire empire.
