1824.Population Census (middle, bottom)

Carl-Kestis glanced at Ferman and asked, "You seem to be very excited? This Population Census is just for statistics and has nothing to do with us, right?"

"Why doesn't it matter? After Population Census is finished, we are basically scheduled to officially immigrate. Next, as long as we continue to complete our work, a spaceship will soon pick us up and take us to the formal workplace." Ferman said.

Carl-Kestis scratched his head and asked, "How do you know so many things?"

"Hi!" Ferman patted Carl on the shoulder and said, "Go out and walk around more if you have nothing to do, and chat with friends around you. If you stay here all day like you Homeworld, Of course I don't know! I found out about this when I was chatting with a Guardian. Even though they are usually strict and well-armed, they are just like us after work, haha, drinking and smoking, and looking at the beautiful women passing by..."

Carl-Kestis lowered his head and was speechless. He thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "So Population Census just needs to give his name and register and that's it?" He seemed to still have the last glimmer of hope.

Ferman thought for a while and replied, "It's quite detailed. There will be a basic physical health scan, and then some blood samples will be taken and archived."

Carl-Kestis's heart beat violently. He lowered his head to hide his strong uneasiness, and then said, "I'll go back to the dormitory first. I'm a little uncomfortable."

"Hey, didn't you agree to buy me a beer?" Ferman said.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow!" Carl-Kestis said as he quickened his pace and fled back to his dormitory.

Back in the dormitory, Carl felt extremely terrified. Ferman didn't feel anything, but he understood very well what the blood test meant!

Check Chlamydiae density in your body! In other words, check whether it is Force-sensitive!

Carl-Kestis is not naive enough to think that as a country ruled by Sith Lord Archangel of Death, drawing blood would be kind enough to help you check your blood sugar and liver function!

You will be exposed! There is no doubt that it will be exposed!! Carl also knew that his Chlamydiae density was between 9,000 and 10,000, which was the highest among his Jedi apprentice at that time. In other words, as long as the other party does a little inspection, this fact will be exposed immediately!

And God knows how Archangel of Death deals with Force-sensitive in the country! Anyway, Carl-Kestis knows that if they are in the Galactic Empire, once they are discovered, they will be taken away immediately!

Carl couldn't help but squat down, trying to pull out a box hidden under the bed. But after thinking about it, he gave up and lay back on the bed slumped.

[Hello, Mr. Kaal, do you want to start today's course?] The AI in the room projected an image of a beautiful woman, reminding him that he should study.

"Take leave today." Carl said.

[Okay, this is your first day off this month. Currently, you have one day left of your two-day holiday. Please have a good rest. ] After the AI finished speaking, the holographic projection disappeared.

The next day, Carl-Kestis found Ferman at work and asked in a low voice, "Can you help me ask the specific time of Population Census?"

Ferman was a little strange, "Why are you so worried about Population Census? Relax, it's just a census."

"Please, this is very important to me..." Carl said, "I... I have some heart diseases, and I'm worried that they will drive me away because of this..."

Ferman then became serious and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Don't worry, I will ask for you. And... since you have a heart problem, you should work less."

"This little bit of work doesn't matter." Carl replied.

At the end of the day's work, Ferman helped him inquire about Population Census, while Carl went to the hospital to visit Muni again.

Muni is a tibia fracture, which is a very serious injury. He still needs to recover for at least two months. Of course, it is said that if you are willing to pay a high price, people from Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group are willing to come over and recover your injury within a week. However, since they all chose to immigrate, it is naturally impossible for Muni to have the financial resources.

He is now working hard to learn technical knowledge and strive to complete the mechanical engineer exam while still in hospital, so that he may still find a job. If the company that originally planned to hire him withdraws its invitation after he is discharged from the hospital, and he cannot find a job, he may be forced to be deported.

There is no doubt that within the Duchy of Dawn, who is currently suffering from a population explosion, has no chance to beg for food.

Carl-Kestis chatted with him, then went to the nurse's station and pretended that Muni's blood sample was contaminated, tricking the nurse into drawing blood again, and then stole a tube of blood sample and hid it.

Such a small gesture is still trivial for a Jedi Knight.

Three more days passed, and sure enough, I saw a huge ring-shaped Luukri-Hok-class battleship arriving directly at Annaj Planet! When this ring-shaped giant ship with a diameter of more than 3,100 meters appeared in the atmosphere, Carl-Kestis felt a sense of illusion.

Because in the past, when this iconic battleship Separatists appeared in the planet's atmosphere, he and his master might have already pulled out Lightsaber and rushed forward to prepare to meet the enemy.

But now, he has to get used to the fact that Luukri-Hok-class battleship is his friend. Well, at least for now.

The spherical core spacecraft in the center of this Luukri-Hok-class battleship detached from the hull and landed. At the same time, a large number of APOD-33 transport aircraft flew down from the hangar on the ring-shaped hull, numbering hundreds. These transport planes spread out, landed on each block, and then began to set Population Census points.

Soon, the official notice of the census was issued, requiring every immigrant in the temporary city to go to the local census point for inspection and report within the same day. After completing the inspection, a pass will be issued, and for the next two months, only the pass holder can live in the city.

Carl-Kestis went out in the morning, but as soon as he walked out, the door behind him suddenly locked automatically! The indicator light turned red, and when he tried to open it, he was prompted directly that he needed a pass.

Carl was very anxious because his Lightsaber was still in the room!

Now I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for Population Census. Otherwise, I don't have Lightsaber. Facing this crisis-ridden galaxy, what I can do is very limited, and I may even die in the crossfire of gangs somewhere!

He found Ferman, and the two walked towards the canteen together. However, people who returned from the front told me that the canteen was also closed, and that you must have a pass to eat in the canteen.

"It seems that they have already considered this when they built this city. A second identification system has been installed on our door locks and the registration system in the canteen... I just called to ask about the situation with my son, and it has been completed in advance. Registration, now their life is as usual." Ferman patted Carl on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, I guess we will be hungry this morning. Let's go farther and find a census point with fewer people."

Carl-Kestis forced a smile and said, "Forget it, I don't have the energy to walk too far without breakfast. Just stay close."

"If it's nearby, I guess we can't even have lunch." Ferman muttered, but he still went to line up with Carl.

Carl touched the blood sample in his hand without leaving a trace, observed the surrounding environment, and planned how to replace his blood sample later.

I only saw four army soldiers wearing black combat uniforms outside the census point, and more than 20 B-1 combat robots maintaining order. Behind the officials responsible for the census, two B-2 super combat robots stood quietly, with their right arms retracted on their chests, and the twin blaster machine guns displayed a formidable and lethal force.

He continued to observe and found that Population Census was very simple. Walk over and stand in front of the official. The staff will scan up and down with a scanner, then ask for the person's name and compare it with the information on the ticket for boarding the immigration ship in the database. After confirming that there is no problem, they will prick their finger with a small device about two centimeters long, and then suck about 3 ml of blood, and the registration will be completed.

After that, the staff will issue a pass card to the resident, and the person can leave. Afterwards, they will sort the blood samples and put them in a refrigerator, presumably to be taken back for centralized examination.

Carl-Kestis have seen the equipment that checks Chlamydiae. That equipment is very expensive, and it is detected through a central computer. It is certainly impossible to distribute it to every registration point.

Maybe, there is still a chance...

Carl-Kestis looked at a human woman queuing in front of her, secretly saying sorry, and then waved her hand gently. The woman immediately felt her buttocks being slapped hard. She became furious, turned around and questioned the innocent Gran behind her, and the two soon started arguing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Carl raised his hand and made another move. A blood collection device placed in the box in front of him floated up out of thin air and moved slowly in his direction.

However, the quarrel over there ended quickly. "Pull them apart!" the official waved his hand impatiently.

"Roger Roger!" The two B-1 combat robots immediately walked up, lifted them up one by one and threw them out of the queue. The quarrel ended immediately.

Seeing that the officials and the nurse in charge of blood collection were about to return their attention to their own work, Carl had not yet brought the blood collection device with the Force!

There was no way, he left Jedi Order too early and did not complete his training at all. Moreover, the small blood collection device was accurately taken out of thin air from several meters away. This kind of the Force control is definitely not something that an apprentice can achieve!

Carl-Kestis broke into cold sweat, but the more anxious he was, the weaker the Force's control became!

And over there, the nurse who was collecting blood suddenly noticed a blood collection device floating outside! She didn't react at first, but then she frowned and turned around to take another look!

At this fatal moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the blood collection device in his hand!

At this time, the nurse glanced across the room and didn't see anything. She thought she was dazzled and continued working.

Population Census is too cumbersome, mainly because there are too many people who need to check and create files. Therefore, their work pressure is very high, and their work will naturally not be so meticulous, it will be more or less fine.

But at this time, for Carl-Kestis, it felt as desperate as the end of the world!

Because the one who caught the blood collection device floating in mid-air was Ferman!

Ferman looked back at him, frowned and felt confused, but still quietly handed the blood collection device to Carl.

Carl-Kestis is now extremely nervous, covered in cold sweat and shaking all over. The palm of his hand that took the blood collection device was soaked with sweat. He was confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Ferman looked back at him and said, "Don't be nervous, these robots have nothing to be afraid of! Look..."

At this time, it was his turn to register. He deliberately delayed, knocked on the B-1 combat robot next to him, and exaggeratedly said, "Wow!! I have never touched a robot like this!"

"Please complete the registration." The B-1 combat robot said in a straight tone.

"Sir, could you please come over?" the staff member urged, "There are many people behind."

"Hey! You ugly monster, stay away from me! I just touched this robot! Now I want a beautiful girl to come and give me a physical examination!" Ferman said loudly.

"Please complete the registration." The B-1 combat robot raised its hand and was about to catch him.

But Ferman was as tall as an ox and as strong as an ox. He broke free and pushed the scanner in front of him to the ground with a crash, as well as the box containing the blood samples. He was also very smart. When he saw that the two B-2 super battle robots had put down the blaster machine guns on their chests, he quickly apologized loudly, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's my fault! I'll help you clean it up!"

He quickly collected the scanner on the floor and the blood sample that he accidentally knocked over just now.

Carl-Kestis knew that he was covering himself, so he quickly sucked Muni's blood sample into the blood collection device, walked up impatiently and urged, "Register me quickly! I'm starving!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to pick up a blood collection device on the table and drew a blood sample for himself.

"Hey! Don't touch this!" the blood collection nurse quickly shouted.

But Carl-Kestis had already changed the blood sample, threw the other blood collection device and said, "Okay, okay, I've just seen it countless times, I know how to use this thing! Scan it for me quickly!"

The nurse warned a few times, but said nothing more. She just wanted to restore order as soon as possible. I scanned the physical condition of Carl in a few seconds, scanned it again on the blood collection device to complete the registration of the blood sample, and called the next one.

Carl-Kestis came out and saw a B-2 super combat robot dragging Ferman towards the confinement room with an extremely complicated expression.
