This person's video call invitation came in at the same time as the video communication invitation from the Beichen University Admissions Office.
She had been talking to the person in charge of the Beichen University Admissions Office for three minutes, and this person still hadn't hung up, which was sincere enough.
So Xia Chujian accepted his video call invitation second.
The person in charge of the Imperial Royal First Military University Admissions Office was also a man, wearing a military uniform, and well-maintained, looking like he was in his early forties.
However, when he introduced himself as Yan Xu, fifty-eight years old, Xia Chujian was stunned.
She didn't expect this person to be almost sixty! Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "You're really well-maintained! Can I ask how you usually exercise?"
Yan Xu was stunned by Xia Chujian's question for a full three minutes before he found his voice.
He coughed and said, "Student Xia, be serious. We are talking about your aspirations and future career choices. Don't interrupt."
Xia Chujian rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "You're wrong. As a member of a military academy, you should be very clear about the importance of physical health!"
"And aging is the number one enemy of health!"
"You are so well-maintained and able to resist aging, why are you unwilling to share your experience with me, a future military academy student?"
Yan Xu looked at Xia Chujian in surprise, and for a moment, he actually felt that what she said made sense.
He coughed, a little uncomfortably, and said, "I don't actually have any special maintenance experience, and I haven't maintained myself, but I am a high-level Gene Evolver."
"The lifespan of a high-level Gene Evolver is originally twice as long as that of ordinary people..."
Xia Chujian: "..."
An arrow straight to the heart! She never expected that this was his "secret to maintenance"! Yes, this kind of secret is really not afraid of people learning it!
Xia Chujian glared at Yan Xu, and for a moment, she didn't even want to go to this Imperial Royal First Military University...
But she knew what was important, and her little emotions quickly passed.
She put away her divergent thoughts and said with a smile, "I see, then it's okay. By the way, what can I do for you?"
The man looked at her speechlessly, and after a while, said, "I am the person in charge of this year's admissions office of the Imperial Royal First Military University."
"Student Xia achieved the first place in the entire Empire this time, and with a perfect score, truly creating a record!"
"I would like to recommend our Imperial Royal First Military University to Student Xia!"
"This military university is the oldest military academy with the longest establishment time in the Beichen Empire."
"In the early years, it was the Imperial Royal Martial Hall, and only the children of Nobles above the Earl level were qualified to enroll."
"Later, with the development of the times, the Imperial Royal Martial Hall evolved into the Imperial Royal Martial Arts Academy, and then five hundred years ago, it was changed to the Imperial Royal First Military University."
"As the number one military academy in the Empire, you must have heard of its reputation!"
"The Empire's current five Marshals all came from our school!"
"Every year, the school has many military exercises, field surveys, and opportunities to exchange with military academies at home and abroad."
"Compared with other military academies, the most important feature of our school is that it has sufficient funds and enough ammunition!"
"Our military exercises are real exercises, with casualty indicators!"
"Not virtual competitions like electronic games!"
"Moreover, Student Xia, with such good grades, our university, in order to show our sincerity, in addition to exempting Student Xia from four years of tuition, providing a full scholarship including living expenses, priority selection of admission dormitories, and, there is also a one-time payment of 200,000 Beichen Coins scholarship without paying taxes!"
Xia Chujian listened to what Yan Xu said earlier, but the last sentence really made her eyes light up! This treatment is good!
It's twice as much as Huo Yushen's back then!
This school is really something!
Xia Chujian immediately said, "Are these things you said valid? Or are you just saying it? Once I fill in the application, will these treatments be in vain?"
Yan Xu was amused by Xia Chujian and said, "Student Xia is very vigilant! This is a good thing!"
"If you are willing, I will sign an agreement with you now."
"The date the agreement takes effect is the date Student Xia applies to our Imperial Royal First Military University!"
"As long as Student Xia is willing to apply to our university, you can choose any major!"
Xia Chujian then asked, "What is the best major at your university?"
Yan Xu immediately said, "Of course, it's the Star Destroyer Command! This major always has very few openings."
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "Why is that?"
Yan Xu said with a smile, "Because the Star Destroyer is still under development by scientists... Previously, there were only experimental models, and it hasn't been officially commissioned yet."
"However, we achieved a technological breakthrough in the second half of last year, and it can now be commissioned into the military."
"The Military is currently planning to build two of the latest model Star Destroyers."
"One will be deployed to the newly established Star Destroyer Fleet, directly under the leadership of the General Operations Department of the Military."
"The other will be directly commanded by His Majesty the Emperor."
Xia Chujian frowned, "I see... So how many people does this major recruit in total?"
Yan Xu's mouth twitched twice, and he said with a smile, "Because this major has only had experimental models in the past, the number of students admitted has not been large. In the past, it only recruited five people per class."
"This year, because we have achieved a technological breakthrough and are about to be commissioned into the military, we are expanding enrollment and recruiting ten people!"
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue, "In the past, you recruited five people per class, and now you recruit ten people per class. How many classes have you recruited?"
Yan Xu said a little awkwardly, "...Not many, sixteen classes!"
"You know Marshal Huo Yushen, right?"
Xia Chujian nodded, "I know."
Yan Xu said, "Huo Yushen entered our Imperial Royal First Military University back then. It was the first time the Star Destroyer major was offered."
"And it has continued until now."
Xia Chujian calculated for him and said with emotion, "You only have experimental models, but you still continue to recruit students."
"You must have eighty graduates by now, right?"
"And there are only two Star Destroyers that can actually be commissioned."
"If I apply for this major, will I still have a Star Destroyer to command after I graduate?"
"If not, wouldn't I be unemployed upon graduation?"
Xia Chujian's words made Yan Xu laugh out loud, and he said, "The Star Destroyer Command major is certainly not just about commanding Star Destroyers!"
"Rather, it means that once you enter this major, you can command every Empire warship, from top to bottom!"
"This is the characteristic coverage effect of this type of command major!"
"When you can command the highest-end warship, then the command work of the lower-level warships will be easy to handle."
"The eighty graduates who graduated before are now serving as commanders-in-chief on various Space Fortresses, Star Carriers, and Star Battleships!"
"To be honest, the number of people is completely insufficient!"
Xia Chujian understood, "So the Star Destroyer in the major's name refers to the upper limit of this major, right?"
Yan Xu nodded with a smile and said, "As expected of our Empire Top Scorer! Yes, that's what you said!"
"Below the Star Destroyer Command major, there are also Space Fortress Command, Star Carrier Command, as well as Star Cruiser and Star Battleship Command majors, and so on."
"In short, any warship that can accommodate more than a hundred people has a command major."
"Those smaller majors recruit more people because there are more of these lower-level warships."
"Similarly, the more people a major recruits, the less valuable the command of these lower-level warships becomes."
Xia Chujian was tempted.
Not to mention that she originally planned to apply to this best military academy, but also that studying this major is equivalent to learning the command of all the Empire's large warships.
It will be of great assistance to her future participation in battles at all levels.
Moreover, Xia Chujian felt that she was going to cleanse the Military, so she had a very clear plan for her future.
Therefore, she tentatively asked, "What about military ranks? Positions? Are there many opportunities for promotion after completing this major?"
Yan Xu said readily, "It should be very fast!"
"For example, our five Marshals all graduated from the Star Destroyer Command program."
"But after graduation, there were no Star Destroyers for them to command, so they all went to serve on Star Carriers."
"After graduation, Marshal Huo rose through the ranks the fastest, you know? He was only twenty-seven years old when he became a Marshal of the Empire!"
"Student Xia is a formidable talent, maybe she'll rise even faster than Marshal Huo!"
Xia Chujian laughed, "Just for the good luck in your words, I must apply to this university!"
"Don't worry, send me the agreement, and I'll fill out the application as soon as I sign it!"
"You can even watch me fill it out!"
Yan Xu was overjoyed.
He didn't expect it to be so easy to persuade this Empire Top Scorer! In all these years, the best National Higher Education Entrance Examination score they had recruited into their military academy was Huo Yushen.
Before him, and for more than a decade after him, their military academy had returned to its previous position.
Mostly Gene Evolvers with mediocre grades but strong physiques applied.
Those truly outstanding National Higher Education Entrance Examination students, even high-level Gene Evolvers, aimed for Beichen University, various Royal Family-affiliated universities, or the slightly inferior universities directly under the jurisdiction of various planets.
Besides the generous benefits, the key was the good job prospects.
And all military academies, including the Imperial Royal First Military University, even though they trained officers, still required graduates to go to the front lines!
But those National Higher Education Entrance Examination takers worked so hard to get an education, not to go to war as cannon fodder...
Of course, most importantly, the truly good programs at the Imperial Royal First Military University were reserved for recommended candidates.
Where could ordinary people get recommendation slots? But the quality of those recommended students was truly uneven.
In the last decade, none of the Noble students or students closely related to Nobles who were recommended had risen to become Marshals.
Of the current five Marshals, four are of Noble origin, but these four Nobles are all distributed in the General Logistics Department and the General Armaments Department, and have never been on the battlefield.
Huo Yushen is the only Marshal of commoner origin among the five Marshals, and also the only Marshal who has commanded the General Operations Department.
But although he had made great achievements in battle, he was isolated and weak among the high-level Military officials, and was eventually squeezed out of the front-line troops...
Over time, the reputation of the Imperial Royal First Military University has not been very prominent in recent years.
So when Xia Chujian expressed her intention to apply on the spot, Yan Xu immediately signed the agreement, fearing that Xia Chujian would go back on her word, and immediately sent it to Xia Chujian.
After Xia Chujian read the agreement, she signed her name, then logged into the National Higher Education Entrance Examination application website, and chose the Star Destroyer Command program of the Imperial Royal First Military University as her first choice.
As soon as she filled it out, Yan Xu immediately selected admission on his side, and then closed the program.
Xia Chujian: "..."
She asked curiously, "How many people have already applied? Is it full so quickly?"
Yan Xu chuckled, thinking that this program was, according to the rules, exclusively for Nobles, only accepting recommended students, and not recruiting National Higher Education Entrance Examination graduates.
This time, if you weren't the Empire Top Scorer, and the Star Destroyers were about to be officially commissioned, if the school didn't want to have outstanding students who could truly pilot Star Destroyers in the future, they wouldn't have agreed to this exception.
Just like recruiting Huo Yushen back then, they were also shocked by his age and grades.
At that time, although Huo Yushen was also the Empire Top Scorer, his grades were not as amazing as Xia Chujian's this time, but Huo Yushen was only twelve years old at that time, so he won back a point compared to the eighteen-year-old Xia Chujian.
In Yan Xu's mind, the two were already evenly matched.
Moreover, it was Yan Xu who went to persuade him back then, based on the principle of not being picky.
They Imperial Royal First Military University, the only two Empire Top Scorers recruited in the five hundred years since its establishment, were both signed by him, Yan Xu! Yan Xu felt that his recruitment luck was really good!
Xia Chujian had just applied for the Star Destroyer Command program of the Imperial Royal First Military University, and was immediately admitted by the school.
As soon as she was admitted, Huo Yushen received a notification.
When Beichen Empire National Higher Education Entrance Examination takers fill out their applications, they will choose "Yes" in the "Whether to accept program adjustment" option.
However, Huo Yushen specifically glanced at it when locking Xia Chujian's account.
As a result, he found that Xia Chujian had filled in "No" in the "Whether to accept program adjustment" option.
This was indeed very Xia Chujian.
Huo Yushen didn't find it surprising at all, and the corners of his lips even curled up slightly.
He immediately used the Special Security Bureau's background control equipment to log into the Imperial Royal First Military University's admissions system backend, locking down Xia Chujian's name and major.
He wanted to ensure that no one could replace Xia Chujian, and even more so, that she wouldn't be "assigned to another major"...
And Huo Yushen's actions were not without purpose.
Such things had happened before.
Especially the "assigned to another major" option, which was used when there weren't enough slots in popular majors for the noble students who were recommended to universities, thus taking away from the ordinary students who came through the National Higher Education Entrance Examination route.
And Xia Chujian and Yan Xu didn't know that after they both logged off, someone else quickly logged onto the National Higher Education Entrance Examination's college application website, opened a certain National Higher Education Entrance Examination student's application page, intending to choose the Imperial Royal First Military University's Star Destroyer Command for their student.
But they discovered that the option for this major was actually grayed out! On the National Higher Education Entrance Examination's college application website, a university major's name turning gray meant that the major had already reached its enrollment limit and had directly closed admissions!
This person cursed and pulled up the virtual display screen, saying to the person on the other side, "Sir, the Imperial Royal First Military University's Star Destroyer Command has reached its enrollment limit and just closed the admissions channel."
