Chapter 669 Xia Kingdom Will Not Disarm
Pure martial artists have fewer options, and in their second year they will all directly enter the martial arts academy. Since they do not have a mental core and have not awakened it, they naturally cannot take courses that require mental support.
The Martial Academy does not reject awakened individuals. There are awakened individuals who are not interested in research or manufacturing, but instead admire martial prowess, who will also choose the Martial Academy.
The martial arts academy specializes in swordsmanship, with Foundation Establishment sword cultivator Xiao Yu as the instructor.
Besides swordsmanship, students can also learn about armor and mech operation (including courses on the use of psionic weapons) and various melee weapon techniques. These are all professional courses that martial arts academy students can choose to take.
Of course, these general monthly and annual exams do not require passing through Lingyunzhi and can be completed outside. Only when assessing skill levels do you need to enter Lingyunzhi.
After Ling Yunzhi was left in the academy by Su Mo to serve as an examination venue, Su Mo communicated with Ling Yunzhi's spirit. The number of internal examination rooms was increased from the initial eight to twenty, which is also Ling Yunzhi's current limit.
If Su Mo wanted to add more, he would need to find suitable materials to smelt the Lingyunzhi and upgrade the magic weapon, but this was not an easy task.
Even if Su Mo could gather all the materials, Wen Song's current level of skill and weapon-refining ability would not be able to forge the Lingyunzhi.
If Su Mo were to do it, it still wouldn't work.
Her skill level was sufficient, but she lacked deeper weapon-refining inheritance and practical experience. There was only one Lingyunzhi, and if any accident occurred during the smelting process, Su Mo and Wen Song would have no way to remedy the situation.
Therefore, Su Mo didn't insist on having more than twenty assessment rooms.
Let's turn our attention back to the training ground.
The huge training ground was divided into 100 assessment areas. Students fought in pairs, and the losing group immediately left the field and was replaced by a new group.
The opponents for the first assessment of freshmen are determined by the judges through a lottery. In the next monthly exam after the first ranking is determined, the opponents will be determined based on the ranking.
This year's number of new students is the highest after two years of expansion, but despite the large number of applicants, the pace of the assessment is not slow, with candidates constantly changing on the field.
Su Mo and several demonic beasts sat in a row on a tree branch, observing the newborns.
"MoMo, did you see those couples? Number 39, number 58, number 80..."
"Although it's a bunch of weaklings fighting each other, those few pairs mixed in are quite conspicuous, and they're fighting back and forth." Bai Bai turned her head and asked Su Mo.
She sat next to Su Mo and was the one who watched the three demonic beasts most attentively.
On the other side of the white one, the big black ball had already lay down, its chubby tail curled up on its back. These two were clearly not paying attention to the training ground at all.
Su Mo also saw the performance of those pairs of candidates, which did indeed stand out against the backdrop of the constantly changing groups around them.
The monthly exam is crucial in determining how many resources each student will receive in the following month, and no student will take it lightly.
"The martial spirit in Xia State has been reviving in recent years. No matter how capable a family is, as long as they want their children to have a good future, they will always try to cultivate them from an early age."
"It's not surprising that some of the new trainees are outstanding."
Getting into the academy is only the first step to success. To obtain more cultivation resources, one must suppress the alumni of the same year.
Bai Bai paused for a moment. She had a feeling that Blue Star had been turned into a mess by the invading Zerg. Su Mo's people were struggling to survive. It seemed that things were not as bad as she thought.
"MoMo, those invaders are about to be wiped out. Will we still need so many soldiers? Won't the graduates from the academy have difficulty finding employment after the expansion of enrollment?" Bai Bai continued to ask.
Especially the many martial artists who were recruited into the martial arts academy.
In Bai Bai's view, awakened individuals have many other job options, but the best employment path for martial arts academy graduates is to join the army. The Xia Kingdom's military offers excellent benefits and promotion opportunities, especially for academy graduates, who are already stronger.
Alternatively, one can choose to form their own hunting team and work for themselves, which can also lead to a decent life.
Otherwise, they can only work as thugs for others, and their future prospects are rather mediocre.
But after the invaders are dealt with, will the Xia Kingdom still need so many soldiers? At that time, the existing troops will probably have to be reduced or disbanded, right?
A large number of experienced and qualified veterans will certainly impact the hunting team's job market, and even the lower-level job market.
What will happen to their graduates?
Besides, Bai Bai has been around on Blue Star for many years and has heard that the Xia Kingdom's military has its own military academies, and more than one. Their own schools train reserve officers, but their graduates have to serve as common soldiers when they enlist.
Bai Bai grumbled inwardly, unwilling.
Su Mo rubbed the smooth white fur on his back and said, "Don't worry about those things. First of all, Xia Country will not reduce its military. Even if we continue to expand recruitment, graduates will not be unable to find jobs."
"No way?" Bai Bai wondered.
What's the point of keeping so many soldiers after the war is over?
The world is already like this, many countries no longer exist, and Xia Kingdom is the only dominant power. Why is it still maintaining such a large military force?
"This is nothing. The battle on Earth is just beginning."
"The Xia Kingdom will not only not reduce its military, but will probably expand its military size in the future."
Su Mo spoke as if she was uncertain, but she was certain in her heart.
Shift your gaze from the training ground to the thick darkness above.
Through the occasional shimmering light of the protective array, Su Mo looked out into the dark universe beyond the moon.
There are still Zerg outposts entrenched in the corners of the solar system.
These creatures thrown onto Earth to wreak havoc are merely the vanguard; the Zerg, which can be mass-produced by the mother hive, are perhaps utterly insignificant to them.
The vanguard failed this time. Will there be a next time?
As long as this source of danger continues to exist in the solar system, the military strength of the Xia Kingdom will not be weakened.
As for whether the Xia Kingdom government will proactively send troops to the source of danger far at the edge of the solar system, and whether it has the capability to do so, that remains to be seen.
Su Mo wasn't entirely sure either.
But when she returned to the academy to pay the final payment for her transport ship, she heard that the Xia Kingdom's military had established a separate space force.
Thinking of the six Xuanwu-class transport ships that had already been transferred to his name, Su Mo was still satisfied.
The Xuanwu-class transport ship manufactured by the Xia Kingdom is shaped like a flat, three-dimensional ellipse with a matte brown exterior. It resembles a tortoise shell when viewed from above. It weighs 9 tons, is heavy and sturdy, and has a speed of 1200 kilometers per hour.
In addition to a 5-cubic-meter independent warehouse, there is also a living area for 100 people.
The materials used in all parts of the ship, both inside and out, as well as the internal operating and communication systems (connected to the StarNet), power systems, life support systems, and so on, all embody the highest level of technology currently available in the Xia Kingdom.
