Seven Lù seemed to have broken free of its shackles. Its synthesized electronic child's voice immediately brightened. "Really? That's wonderful!"
"Seven Lù will help Master!"
As it spoke, Seven Lù had already used Xia Chujian's communicator to enter the Fifth Interstellar Fleet's Mechanical Intelligence management program and began "tampering" with it.
Naturally, ordinary people could never detect the tampering done by a Mechanical Intelligence.
In fact, even the Fifth Interstellar Fleet's Mechanical Intelligence failed to notice it.
Seven Lù's level was far higher than that of the Mechanical Intelligence at Fifth Interstellar Fleet headquarters.
So, within the program Seven Lù had "interfered" with, "She Zhouming" was very "randomly" assigned to the unit led by Xia Chujian of the Fourth Column.
When Xia Chujian, who had been anxious all day, finally received the roster of recruits assigned to her and saw "She Zhouming" prominently listed there, she let out a soft breath and even curled her lips into a faint smile.
Early that morning, Xia Chujian made a rare appearance at the recruit camp and "cordially" met the recruits who had just been assigned to her unit.
This time, 1,200 people from her column had retired, while only 1,000 new personnel had been brought in.
They were short two hundred people.
But for a column of a million, two hundred more or two hundred fewer made no difference at all. It was well within the margin of error.
Xia Chujian stepped onto the stage with a solemn expression, gave everyone a round of encouragement, and then issued the order for the New Recruit Competition.
By convention, recruits had to undergo half a year of training after entering camp before being assigned to their respective posts.
But the situation was urgent now.
Everyone knew that the Empire would soon declare war
