The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 170 169. Work hard and don’t lose face

Once the plane war begins, there is no option to stop it.

The human civilization represented by the United Government must continue to win in the upcoming plane wars.

Only in this way can we survive.

The terrible consequences of failure in the plane war are something the coalition government cannot afford.

After several plane wars, the coalition government has accumulated enough experience.

As for the preparations for the plane war, we are no longer as helpless as we were at the beginning.

Most importantly, the coalition government has initially established an effective internal system.

Through citizen treatment, military personnel, scientific research benefits, and the qualification for elected blessings, the enthusiasm of the people under the rule to participate in the plane war was stimulated.

It provides the coalition government with a steady supply of large and continuous manpower and an innumerable and wide-ranging system of military equipment.

But all this has a prerequisite, that is, the plane war must continue continuously and must be won continuously.

The governing philosophy of "everything is aligned with the military" can bring huge advantages to the coalition government in the short term during the plane war.

But when the plane war stops, all the social contradictions hidden under the military system will emerge one after another.

The contradictions caused by the solidification of social classes have become particularly serious.

After the new era began, the citizens and soldiers of the United Government who participated in the previous plane wars enjoyed the greatest "war dividends".

They have obtained citizenship that is the envy of countless indigenous people, and enjoy high welfare benefits from the coalition government. Many of them are even able to receive the "blessing of democratic election" and become the "superior people" that countless indigenous people long for.

For the latecomers, the indigenous people who were unable to truly participate in the plane war and enjoy these benefits, everything seems too unfair.

They also want to participate in the plane war and achieve class transition through their own efforts.

The indigenous people believe that the only thing missing between them and the citizens of the coalition government is an opportunity to show their abilities.

Therefore, many indigenous people began to band together for warmth and held marches to criticize the problem of "class stratification".

The group of citizens of the coalition government, whom they regarded as opponents, felt very innocent.

Almost all citizen groups in the coalition government have paid a fair price for everything they have now.

There are soldiers of the United Government who have served in the army, and there are maintenance workers who have been staying in the source plane planetary engine equipment buildings for ten or eight years in harsh living environments.

There are also a large number of engineers serving in countless factories in the second dimension.

The most indisputable thing is the existence of those groups who have been promoted from indigenous people to citizens of the coalition government.

Most of them have shed blood and sweat on the battlefield for the United Government in various plane wars. Only after they have won military merits are they qualified to get everything they have now.

Among the citizens of the United Government, almost every household has family members of martyrs who were injured or even killed in the plane war.

Or they are workers who are still working in various harsh environments and are ordered to go to remote planes to carry out various urban reconstructions and equipment and facility maintenance.

They believe that the treatment they enjoy is commensurate with the price they pay.

There is great dissatisfaction with the unwarranted jealousy towards the indigenous groups.

But it has to be admitted that after entering the new era, without the threat of plane wars, many citizens of the United Government have gradually become content with enjoying themselves.

Without the channel of plane war, citizenship, blessing qualifications, and various treatments are almost equivalent to closing off the indigenous groups.

The potential internal conflicts brought about by "class solidification" are the main issues that the coalition government must pay attention to at present.

Therefore, the start of a new plane war was quickly put on the agenda.

Transformers plane space elevator ground base.

It is also the ground administrative center of the United Government's Space Force Ship Command.

Liu Qi took a deep breath, clenched his resume in both hands, and pushed open the door of the administrative center's conference room.

In the huge conference room, there is only a "camera robot" representing artificial intelligence.

The four walls are covered with mirrored glass, which invisibly brings huge psychological pressure to the interviewers entering the conference room.

Liu Qi understood that the psychological stress test was one of the items in this interview.

And behind the mirrored glass on all sides, there must be a group of real interviewers observing you.

This was the model when my father, Liu Peiqiang, was interviewing astronauts.

Almost twenty years have passed, and the interview process of the coalition government is still the same.

Trying hard to calm his inner tension, Liu Qi pulled out his chair, and sat upright, waiting for the "camera robot" to ask questions.

[Interviewee No. AC1035, Liu Qi, born on October 2050, 10, currently 16 years old.

Social Relations:

Mr. Liu Peiqiang, the first "super soldier" of the United Government, is your father. He is currently the commander-in-chief of the United Government's special ace elite forces and the owner of the United Government's Hero Medal. Ms. Han Duoduo is your mother and currently holds the rank of lieutenant general. She is the deputy commander-in-chief of the First Fleet of the Source Plane Space Force and the Space Force of the United Government.

In addition, Mr. Han Ziang, the retired senior advisor of the First Face Transportation Department of the United Government, is your grandfather...】

As the "camera robot" announced Liu Qi's identity, the 28-member interviewer team hidden behind the mirrored glass were shocked and sat up straight involuntarily.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Qi's background information is the strongest among all the people they are currently interviewing.

Both of his parents are powerful senior military officials in the coalition government. Even his grandfather Han Ziang, who is the "least noticeable" one in the background information, has quite a number of "disciples and old officials" within the First Plane Transportation Administration, although he has retired.

These are personal connections that countless citizens of the coalition government would envy.

[…Graduated from the Space Driving Academy in the first year of the new era and successfully obtained the qualification of a junior space pilot.

Later, he started working at the Third Dimension Space Agency. Due to his excellent work evaluation, he was recommended by the department to participate in training and became qualified as the second batch of intermediate space pilots.

Consider your current performance and the background factors of your father and mother.

If you continue to stay in the Space Agency, you will have the opportunity to become a ship pilot of the United Government's space fleet, and eventually have the hope of being promoted to the captain of a space battleship, or even go one step further and become a senior general on par with your mother's wing commander.

Why did you give up all these and choose to participate in the screening of membership for the "Elite Force for Alternative Dimensional Exploration"?
Please answer within 15 seconds. Failure to do so will be considered as failure of the interview.

14, 13, 12...】

Liu Qi felt a headache. Just as he had guessed, the interview questions were definitely related to his ridiculously dazzling background.

“I don’t want to live under the background of my parents’ honor.

I want to be like my father and forge my own path..."

While Liu Qi's dazzling background and identity brought him many conveniences, he was also overwhelmed by his parents' identities and honors.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how well he performed, others would always simply attribute his achievements to the fact that he had a "good father and a good mother."

While working and studying at the NASA, Liu Qi could also feel the care and concern from his colleagues and even his superiors. It was probably because of his mother, Han Duoduo, who was the deputy commander-in-chief of the First Space Fleet.

These false friendships and collaborations made Liu Qi doubt his true value for a time.

The career path that her mother Han Duoduo planned and designed for her does seem to be the most suitable one for her.

If Liu Qi was a "second generation" with no ideals or ambitions, then it would be fine.

But he had certain demands on himself, and he felt immense pride in his parents' honor and achievements from the bottom of his heart.

I don’t want others to think that the result of my own hard work is the result of my parents’ protection.

Although his biological age is already 35, his actual psychological age is almost the same as that of a "teenager" due to his greatly improved biological life expectancy thanks to the blessing of popular election.

But Liu Qi did not think that he was in a "rebellious youth" period.

He just wanted to prove that he didn't need a path planned out for him by his parents that he could see the end of.

The interview questions for Liu Qi ended not long after.

In fact, being able to reach the interview stage means that Liu Qi’s qualifications have met the selection criteria for the “Elite Force for Alternative Dimensional Exploration”.

The interview process, in addition to testing the interview members' ability to withstand psychological stress, is more about screening out more suitable members for the "Elite Force for Alternative Dimensional Exploration" team.

After the interview, Liu Qi received the reply "wait for notification".

Within a few minutes, he received a communication request from his mother Han Duoduo.

After the call was connected, Han Duoduo started to scold Liu Qi.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the First Fleet of the Source Plane, she certainly has channels to find out how dangerous the missions carried out by the "Alternative Dimensional Exploration Force" are and how high the casualty rate is.

As a mother, it is understandable that Han Duoduo does not want her son to participate in such a dangerous mission.

After receiving the call from his mother, Liu Qi immediately understood that it must be someone from the interview center who informed his mother.

Otherwise, she would never have understood the interview she was attending so quickly.

Just when he had perfunctorily dealt with a call from his mother Han Duoduo and thought that the interview was definitely a failure.

The official text message from the United Government reminded him to hand over his work at the Transport Administration as soon as possible and to assemble at the designated location one week later at the latest to carry out the "alternative dimension exploration" mission.

Seeing this text message, Liu Qi, who was originally in a depressed mood, jumped up excitedly on the spot.

Considering his mother Han Duoduo, his grandfather Han Ziang would probably be worried.

Liu Qi could only inform his father Liu Peiqiang of this "good news".

Compared with his mother's concern and blame, father Liu Peiqiang is obviously more open-minded.

After a long silence, he finally encouraged his son.

"Do your best and don't lose face."
