Qin Shi gazed at the Grand Star Sea Medal lying quietly in the box.
The eight-pointed star crafted from deep space metal emitted a cool, ethereal glow.
At its center, a black dragon coiled around a cylindrical monument, its lines powerful and dignified.
The base of the monument was engraved with four ancient Dongxia characters: "Civilization Everlasting."
This is the Grand Star Sea Medal, a symbol of exemplary military brilliance that is only awarded for first-class merits and the title of a first-level combat hero.
According to statistics, each millennium after the founding of the new Dongxia, fewer than a hundred thousand of these Grand Star Sea Medals have been distributed.
Considering the number of personnel in various battle groups, and the continuous recruitment for the Great Expedition.
A hundred thousand Grand Star Sea Medals over the scale of a millennium, across the vastness of the galaxy, is truly rare.
