Chapter 50
The Gathering

After a comprehensive tour of this legendary super-large deep-space mothership, more than four hours had passed.

It was not enough.

Wang Dong immediately opened "Star Sea Quest" and tried his hand at a few games.

Three wins and two losses.

The performance gap was too big, and no matter how he operated, there was nothing he could do.

Then he tried to join a Thousand-Ship War.

It was indeed exciting.

The feeling of a large battlefield was completely different from single-ship combat.

It placed more emphasis on the discipline execution ability and command dispatching level of the battle formations.

The role of single ships in it was diluted to the minimum.

Immersed in it, time flew by, and it was soon time to log off.

It was a pity that Tu Tu Tu was not online the whole time.

The little girl is a student after all, and it is impossible for her to stay online all day long.

Walking out of the Meizu Internet Cafe, Wang Dong didn't go straight home.

Wang Dong was from an orphanage, but that didn't mean he was completely a loner.

He still had some social life.

Apart from the circle of interstellar miners, Wang Dong also maintained close contact with those who had received primary education together.

In simple terms, they were classmates.

The situation in other parts of the Purple Thorn Kingdom is unknown, but at least within the Blackstone Baron's Territory, a twelve-year primary education is implemented.

As for higher secondary education and above, unfortunately, the Blackstone Baron's Territory cannot provide it.

Wang Dong was going to attend a small class reunion today.

Ten minutes before the appointed time, he entered the private room, where sixteen or seventeen classmates had already arrived.

Wang Dong greeted everyone with a smile.

Like Wang Dong, most of the classmates could only stay in the mining star field after finishing primary education, looking for a job.

Although it is a heavy industry like mining, in fact, the work tasks in the mining star field are not heavy.

After all, it is the interstellar era, exploitation of physical labor, under the premise of technological advancement, seems inefficient and meaningless.

Even for the civilian class, most people's lives are not meager or hard.

It's not difficult if you just want to support yourself and your family.

The relatively low-pressure life, coupled with the relatively monotonous daily routine of the mining planet, makes class reunions quite frequent.

"Wang Dong, how have you been doing lately?"

After Wang Dong found a place to sit, the first to come over was a tall, muscular young man with a bronze complexion.

This was Wang Dong's good friend, Chen Lin Feng, who had been Wang Dong's deskmate for three years. In addition, he would find all sorts of reasons to bring Wang Dong, who was from an orphanage, to his home.

Chen Lin Feng's family also treated Wang Dong like their own son.

After Wang Dong chose the profession of interstellar miner after graduation, he still frequently visited the Chen family.

He put his thick arm around Wang Dong's shoulder, handed him a can of foamy beer, and greeted him.

"So-so. How about you, I heard the factory is going to add a production line, are there any chances of promotion?"

Wang Dong casually took the beer and took a big gulp. The refreshing liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach, leaving a trail of coolness along the way.

He let out a contented sigh and replied lazily.

Chen Lin Feng currently works in a fairly large smelting plant.

"It's not that easy, the production line hasn't even started procurement yet, and the relevant positions like team leaders have already been basically reserved. By the time we get the news, it's too late."

Chen Lin Feng snorted disdainfully.

Wang Dong patted him sympathetically on his broad shoulders.

Information disadvantage is the most common reason in human society, separating people's heights in life.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. If it weren't for my old man's request, I wouldn't bother wasting my life in the smelting plant."

Chen Lin Feng said indifferently.

Wang Dong believed it, his good friend had never been a stable person.

"Wang Dong, I want to find an opportunity to go to the High Ground Viscount Territory, there is a medium-level education academy for warships there! I want to try to see if I can get in."

Chen Lin Feng pulled Wang Dong closer and whispered in his ear.

Wang Dong raised his eyebrows.

The existence of the Spark Battleship is not a big secret. After all, over the years, those who should know have known.

Moreover, the Spark Battleship also needs people of different positions.

Personnel for all units of the ship's crew, such as helmsmen, radar operators, engine room, damage control, and even service personnel, still need to be recruited externally.

Therefore, for the civilian class, getting on a Spark Battleship after professional training is also a good way out.

But it must be said that Chen Lin Feng's idea is a bit bold.

In the Purple Thorn Kingdom, which is based on a feudal system, it is not easy for civilians to move between different noble territories.

To go through the normal channels to handle immigration procedures, you can only rely on opportunities. Especially for someone like Chen Lin Feng, a native civilian.

"You wouldn't want to sneak across the border, would you? Uncle Chen would probably kill you."

Wang Dong replied in a low voice as well.

"No way, if I sneak across the border, my whole family will be implicated."

Chen Lin Feng waved his hands repeatedly.
