Lin Dongyun focused all his attention on the watch. He couldn't wait to take it off and wear it on his wrist. He dripped blood for authentication, and then started it. A black ball projection with big eyes and a big mouth appeared like this:
[Hello Master, I am your watch assistant and I am downloading all your identity information and account information for you...]
[After downloading, you can use this watch to carry out all identity authentication and fund receipt and expenditure activities.]
【Please give me a name and voice settings.】
"What an ugly image? Can't you change your image?" Lin Dongyun asked with a frown.
[Sorry Master, the images of assistants in military watches are all limited to this. It is said to be to maintain the stability of military morale.] Black Ball showed an aggrieved look.
Lin Dongyun was speechless. The ever-changing shape of the watch's auxiliary assistant was one of its selling points. However, the military's wristwatch actually had a restricted image, and it still looked like a black ball!
Suddenly, Lin Dongyun lost a lot of his enthusiasm for watches, especially when he learned that military watches did not have gaming functions, he was even more disappointed.
Because military watches lack these fancy and entertainment functions, their functions are almost the same as those of mobile phones with smart programs installed, except that they have an additional projection function.
Of course, mobile phones can also do this, but they are much more expensive.
If you just have this money, wouldn’t it be nice to just buy a watch if you add a little more?
So Lin Dongyun casually named the watch Xiaohei, and kept the electronic sound of turning on the watch. He ignored it and looked at the red katana sword over there.
Lin Dongyun didn't notice, or maybe he didn't know that he noticed that the download light of the watch didn't stop at all and was shining rapidly. It was obvious that a huge amount of data was being downloaded to the watch.
When he picked up the knife and pulled it out to check, the watch had automatically restarted, but because it was so inconspicuous, Lin Dongyun didn't notice it at all.
At this time, Zhinao, who had been silent before, spoke up again: [Major Lin Dongyun, Imperial Citizen Patrol Battalion, this watch is a school-level military watch, the same level as the Imperial Army's school-level watch.]
[The watch's three-proof rating reaches Level A. School-level watches have the ability to absorb various energy storage functions on their own, so you don't need to worry about school-level watches running out of energy. School-level watches have 100 billion memory storage points.
To a large extent, there is no need to worry about storage capacity...]
Lin Dongyun, who was holding the knife, was stunned. He didn't even listen to the rest of the story and asked directly: "Wait! What did you say? Imperial citizen?"
[Because you are an imperial warrant officer and an imperial officer, you are automatically promoted to imperial citizenship.]
"So that's it..." Lin Dongyun nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
What is the difference between Imperial residents and Imperial citizens?
Most of the differences are not there. The only difference is: residents can only move around on the home planet. As long as citizens have money, they can wander around the universe. No matter how rich the residents are, they cannot leave the home star for interstellar travel.
More than 99% of the people in the entire empire have resident status.
However, this identity makes no difference to most people, because most people have been living on their home planet for dozens of generations.
In fact, just like in ancient times, people can only roam around in their own homes. They can't go to towns to open their eyes, and they have to open roads to go to counties.
But those who have a good reputation can travel all over the country with their swords.
In this interstellar era, it has become that the assholes can only stay in the home star, while citizens can take spaceships to experience the scenery of alien planets.
Of course, the Qinglin Empire did not restrict the ascending passage of dead residents, and there has been no restriction on death since ancient times.
It is actually very simple to obtain citizenship. The first step is to enter the government department.
As you climb all the way up to the level of an official from the ninth rank, you will naturally become a citizen, and your immediate family members can follow you around the universe.
The second is to join the army, climb all the way up to the rank of Imperial Warrant Officer, and automatically become a citizen, but you can only wander around the universe alone.
The third is to do business, make money, earn a lot, donate a large amount of money to the government, and be rewarded with citizenship by the government. If you are willing to add money, your cats and dogs can follow you around the universe. But this is the most looked down upon, politics
Don't think about the treatment.
The fourth path is the most crowded and the one with the brightest and brightest future, which is to go to college.
If you get admitted to any key university that admits students from other administrative stars, you will automatically obtain citizenship as soon as you get the admission notice.
Only I can wander around the universe with this choice.
Therefore, the civil servants are the best. One citizen can bring his immediate family members with him to roam the universe.
But the civil service path is extremely difficult. The more senior government departments recruit people, the more they need graduates from key universities. What kind of preferential treatment do key university students get? Does being promoted quickly count as preferential treatment?
Anyway, ordinary college students can only take the first road and climb up slowly step by step. Most of them will never climb up and become citizens.
As for key college students, they are citizens when they are studying. Once they enter the officialdom, they start from the ninth rank.
This is the huge gap between ordinary universities and key universities.
How fierce is the competition to get into key universities?
An administrative star can easily have a population of tens of billions, and there must be hundreds of millions of candidates of the right age to take exams. How many candidates of the right age to take exams are there in the total of 136 administrative stars in the entire empire?
And a university that can recruit other administrative star students can recruit up to 10,000 students in one class. Although there are nearly a hundred such key schools in the empire, how many people there are in total, you can only imagine how fierce the competition is here.
.
This is also the reason why Lin Dongyun's friends said that his sister and village elders would collapse if they knew he chose to serve as a soldier in the patrol camp. Because according to Lin Dongyun's academic performance, he is very sure of being admitted to a key university.
Thinking of this, Lin Dongyun grinned. Now that he is a citizen, he should be able to eliminate the anger of his sister and the village elder, right? They must study by themselves. Isn't this what they want?
Confirming this, Lin Dongyun felt confident. Before, he had been worried about how to explain it to his sister, the village elder, the school teacher, and the principal.
After all, I couldn't say anything about having a favor system. No one would believe me if I told her. It wasn't like I hadn't said it before when I was a kid.
Lin Dongyun, who was in a relaxed mood, grabbed the knife and chopped it a few times. His fingers lightly touched the blade and muttered: "Is this the so-called symbol of citizenship of 'Wen wears a sword and Wu wears a sword'?"
[Yes, but officials are citizens, but not all citizens are officials, so citizens can only wear white rope-wrapped weapons.] Zhinao explained.
"So there are such restrictions. No wonder you can only occasionally see weapons with white hilts outside. Citizens who dare to use white hilts can only use white. However, this red hilt can only be worn by those with qualifications as a colonel. I, the Imperial Warrant Officer, will wear it.
Will there be any problem?" Lin Dongyun asked with some confusion.
[The military rank of the patrol battalion is directly three levels lower than that of the imperial army. Logically, you can only wear a lieutenant-level saber with a blue handle, but who makes the patrol battalion a local snake? Therefore, privately, the treatment is the same as that of the imperial army.
of.】
[As long as you don’t hang around in the Imperial Army or the Imperial Military Headquarters, but only hang out on the governors’ territory, no one will hold you accountable for overstepping your responsibilities.]
