Chapter 290
Shuguang Station is built very large, with no less than fifteen entrances and exits already built. Outside the exit is a spacious and bright hall.
However, no matter how spacious the hall was, it became a little crowded after 2,450 female insects stood here.
This is the case when they are not carrying any luggage and there are robot insects responsible for guiding and diverting them. Otherwise, there is really no way to accommodate more than 2,000 female insects in one place.
Standing in a corner with other female insects, Feng Qi, who was assigned to this corner, had been paying attention to the surrounding environment since he got off the train.
He didn't know the female insects next to him, and he was standing with them only because the seats in their carriage were close to each other.
Feng Qi put his hands in his pockets and began to recall.
After successfully registering, he received a terminal free of charge. After binding the terminal, he immediately received a letter from the [Zhongtian Yunxing Recruitment Office].
It briefly explained that he had successfully registered and officially joined the Shuguang Military Region as a reserve soldier. It then instructed him to report to the military region's recruitment office at the time indicated on the letter.
The letter stated that apart from the identity card and terminal, there was no need to bring any daily necessities, as the military district would distribute them as needed. An electronic ticket was also attached.
I checked the ticket and saw that the departure time was the next day.
Before daybreak, I stumbled to the district station where the train was gathered with my ticket in hand and waited for the train. Then I saw dozens of other female insects who were also waiting for the train.
Let’s not talk about what it was like to experience the subway for the first time. Let’s wait for them to take the subway from the district platform to the main station, and from underground to the ground.
Looking at the train rushing towards us from a distance, the shock we felt was beyond words.
There were even more female insects on the main platform. Hundreds of them were crowded together on the platform. From their conversations, one could tell that they were all from different districts.
The time reserved for them was very tight, so everyone could only get on the train according to the carriage number while listening to the repeated announcements on the platform.
As soon as he got on the train, Feng Qi discovered that there were already quite a few female insects sitting in this high-speed train.
There was only one companion left who had originally set out from Area 4, and he was sitting far away.
In this situation where he was completely in the dark and didn't know anyone around him, Feng Qi didn't say a word, which was also the choice of most female insects.
The packed carriage was very quiet, with only the sound of the train running on the tracks and the warm reminders that kept repeating in the carriage.
Tip them on what to do when they get off the bus.
In fact, even if there was no reminder in the car, they would know that the entire reporting process was attached to the letter of notification.
Just follow it and you won't go wrong.
Feng Qi lives in Area 4. From when he was a cub to now, at the age of 22, he has only been hanging around Area 4.
It was the first time I saw scenery far away from where I was living on the train. The scenes passing by outside the window made me realize what the planet I live on looks like.
But actually, there is no difference.
Most of the fleeting scenery is still barren, with only occasional vegetation cover in the distance, and things beyond our cognition.
The train stopped several times along the way, a total of five times since I got on the train.
Not long after five times, the car windows turned from transparent to pure black.
Feng Qi lowered his head and opened his terminal. He had checked it when he got it and found that it could be used normally and had all the functions.
What will the station they are going to, Dawn Station, look like?
Time always passes quickly when you are expecting something, especially when you are concentrating on browsing some information on the computer. It feels like not much time has passed before you hear the announcement of the train arriving at the station.
The train stopped and the doors opened.
Everyone lined up in order to get off the bus, and then scanned their tickets to exit the station under the guidance of the broadcast and the terminal.
Feng Qi was in the middle of the queue. After he swiped his ticket, he saw the guiding robot insect waiting outside.
Their round bodies are half-standing, and their tails dragging on the ground are equipped with simulated rollers, allowing them to move flexibly.
This should be the guide worm mentioned on the radio.
A robotic arm extended from the guiding insect, and the female insects passing through the gate one by one cooperated by extending the terminal for scanning.
One guide worm is only responsible for ten female worms, so after it has scanned ten, it will retreat and another guide worm will come forward.
When Feng Qi stretched out his hand with the terminal and let the guide worm scan it.
A string of characters appeared on the guide worm's electronic eye display screen, with the number: J020402702.
There is also a bright red stamp "Verified Passed" on the characters.
Feng Qi was the last one that the guide worm was responsible for, so after verifying Feng Qi, it stepped aside, and Feng Qi followed.
He looked at the nine female insects waiting on the side, whom he had never met before, and then at the guide insect in front of him, which was not even as tall as their knees.
Guide the insects to make sounds.
[Received. Please J020701302, J022703302…J020402702 follow guide insect D095 and proceed to the designated location to await the completion of all verification.]
A series of numbers were read out, and needless to say, it was known that these numbers corresponded to Feng Qi and the others.
The spacious and open passage of dozens of meters outside the exit was divided into different areas, and in each area there were several guide insects leading the team.
Only in this way can the designated area accommodate as many as 2,000 female insects as possible.
[Arrange in ascending order of height. Once you are standing properly, please do not move around randomly.]
[It is estimated that it will take another fifteen minutes to complete the verification.]
When Feng Qi and the other ten female insects arrived, there were already quite a few female insects at their location, so they lined up at the back of the queue.
Each female insect is only half an arm's distance away from each other, so it's not crowded, but the space given is definitely not ample.
The guide insect told them not to move around, but didn't say they couldn't look, so Feng Qi looked at the Dawn Station like the other female insects.
Along the way, they have become quite experienced in entering the station to take the subway and exiting the station to transfer to trains.
But although they are both platforms, the one in front of me is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. Compared with this place, the one I saw before can only be regarded as a small station.
Fifteen minutes later.
[The verification of new recruits has been completed. 2,450 were expected to arrive, and 2,459 have actually arrived.]
As this sentence ended, the voice on the radio switched from the originally pleasant synthetic voice to a cold voice.
"Everyone, move forward. Maintain formation and trot out of Shuguang Station. Once outside, follow the signs to the registration office."
"I'll be waiting for you at the registration desk."
This sound attracted the attention of all the female insects. Before they could think more, the team in front started to move.
Feng Qi caught up with the team and left the train station.
Outside the station, it looks completely different.
There are not many buildings, and the road underfoot is flat, dozens of meters wide, enough for a team of ten columns to move forward side by side.
That's when it happened.
A pair of mechanical wings grew on the backs of the guide insects that were originally on the ground. They flew up and landed just outside the team, neither too high nor too low, with green road sign arrows appearing on their bodies.
Following the signs, Feng Qi and his companions set off.
What they didn’t know was that Shuguang Station was five kilometers away from Shuguang Community.
In other words, they have to do a five-kilometer long-distance run before reporting.
…
In the open space at the entrance of Shuguang Community, a long table about seven or eight meters long was temporarily assembled using several metal plates. Behind the long table were piled up supplies that had been delivered early in the morning.
This is the simple registration area.
The daily necessities originally packed in the boxes were unpacked early, and simple toiletries and two sets of spare training clothes were packed and sealed in bags, each bag for one person.
Chu Xiu arrived faster than the female insects who needed to run five kilometers.
He was relieved by the performance of the reservists. Apart from anything else, at least they were quite obedient during the verification process and did not cause any accidents that required him to deal with.
Behind the long table, in order to complete the registration as quickly as possible, the robot originally used for training had its purpose slightly changed.
——Responsible for distributing things to the female insects who come to report, and blocking their terminals by the way.
Chu Xiu leaned back in his chair and waited.
According to the convention, the terminals in the hands of soldiers should be confiscated and military funds should be distributed later. However, given the current situation of Tianyun Star, it will not make any difference whether they are confiscated or not.
In addition, since the technical means are sufficient, it was decided to retain the terminal and only block unnecessary functions.
With the terminal in hand, subsequent management and information communication will be much more convenient.
He moved his hands and turned on the light brain on his wrist.
A light screen was projected in front of him, which was a topographic map of the entire dungeon. This map was constantly updated as the dungeon was built.
Drag the screen to zoom in on a certain place. The route the recruits are currently traveling is marked on it, and there is a timer next to it.
All projects in the underground city are standardized, and of course there is no shortage of monitoring. Countless monitors and artificial light balls with satellite functions suspended above the underground city make everything visual.
Not to mention the terminals carried by the recruits, each of which is linked to the subnet domain of the QW system.
With Chu Xiu's authority, he can locate the position of any terminal at any time as long as the purpose is reasonable.
Considering the average physical fitness of this group of recruits, it should only take about 10 minutes for them to run at full speed over a distance of five kilometers.
But this is only theoretical.
Chu Xiu had no intention of making the new recruits suffer like this before the training even started, so he specifically asked the guide insects to slow down the recruits' pace while giving them directions, so that they could arrive within fifteen to twenty minutes.
Fifteen minutes have already passed. Judging from the positioning, the recruits should be at the door in two minutes.
Two minutes passed in a flash.
Outside the wide-open gate of Shuguang Community, new recruits coming to report are approaching.
Feng Qi's position was in the middle and back of the entire team, so when he walked through the gate of the community, he basically walked in.
The guide insects reminded them to slow down early on, and the female insects in the front stopped when they saw the yellow warning line.
The female insect at the back was well prepared and therefore avoided the embarrassment of bumping into the female insect at the front.
Feng Qi heard a few exclamations that were too late to retreat, and it seemed to come from the front of the team?
After those few exclamations of surprise, the only sound left in the entire team was the quiet breathing. From the moment they set out until now, they had been reminded of discipline issues many times along the way.
In fact, it is not a strict requirement. They are only required to be quiet and obedient.
Fortunately, the female insects in the gathering place mostly do this when they encounter unicorns, otherwise it would be difficult to ask them to do it all at once.
What happened in front? Feng Qi felt something was strange and tried to see.
But he was right in the middle and couldn't see what was happening in the front.
While Feng Qi was thinking about what would happen next, the guide insect that had been guiding them all the way retracted the pulley on its abdomen and silently flapped its wings, circling in the air.
"Whatever questions you have now, just press them. You only need to do one thing when you come here."
"That means obeying orders from your superiors."
"After removing the cordon, groups of ten will move forward three meters. Extend your terminals for the robot to scan to confirm your arrival."
"Then collect the daily necessities you'll need in the training area and follow the guide worm that brought you here to the designated dormitories."
"...Make your bed in the dorm and change into your training clothes. Meet at the training ground at 10 o'clock."
"I don't want to see anyone late."
A voice exactly the same as the one heard at the train station before, with the help of the loudspeaker on the guide insect, the tone was concise, powerful and clear.
This was the second time Feng Qi heard this voice.
From the tone and word choice, he felt that the speaker must be a meticulous person, but... there was one thing that concerned him.
——Isn’t this voice too young?
Although this voice sounded very calm from the moment it appeared, one could tell that it was not very old.
Just when Feng Qi was distracted, the team in front of him moved.
