Rick and Carmen are a couple who are about to graduate high school and face a choice to volunteer. Carmen wanted to be an excellent astronaut. Under the influence of Carmen, Rick chose to attend the Mechanical Infantry Academy and become a soldier. An unfriendly thing happened at the prom when someone deliberately danced and flirted with Carmen in Rick's face, and Rick and the dude had a big fight. Of course, Rick's parents were extremely opposed to Rick joining the army, because interstellar travel was too dangerous.

After coming to the Infantry Academy, Rick and others received the most rigorous training. At the same time, Ruth, his female classmate, followed him all the way. Although Rick knew that Ruth liked him, he didn't like Ruth. As the intensity continued, Rick's performance became more and more prominent, and he soon became the squad leader. In an accident, Rick helped a team member to check the helmet, and the teammate was mistakenly killed by his teammate. At this time, the entire federation world was harassed and attacked by the Bug Legion. Under the maintenance of the instructor, Rick stayed in the army, but he was already thinking about leaving at this time. Carmen also performed outstandingly in the pilot students. She focused on sailing and met Joe, a male classmate at the prom again. Joe was also specially transferred to Carmen's crew. The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and Carmen and Rick also broke up substantially.

That day, the hometown of Rick and Carmen was attacked by the Bug Legion, and no one survived. Rick wanted to go home, but there was no home. He was determined to fight the Bug Legion to the death and petitioned to participate in the battle. Rick performed outstandingly in combat, fighting with his old battalion commander. When rescuing a trapped federal commander, the old battalion commander's troops were ambushed, the old battalion commander died, and Rick was quickly promoted to battalion commander. Rick fought more and more bravely, taking his troops to battle after battle, all thinking about destroying the Bug Legion. Carmen and Joe are shot down by the Bug Legion while participating in a rescue mission, and just fall next to the Bug King, and Joe is killed. Rick led the army to attack the lair where the Bug King was located. It was another battle of life and death. Finally, under the leadership of Rick, the human race achieved the final victory. Rick became an officer, and Carmen became the captain of his heart.
