MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 3 test

 Chapter 3 Test

The car was speeding for more than ten minutes, and there were more and more high-rise buildings on both sides of the superconducting highway, getting taller and taller. Buildings of three to four hundred meters high could be seen everywhere. They were rising one after another, and there were even a few buildings. The height exceeds one thousand meters!

 As we get closer to the city center, the traffic flow on the superconducting highway becomes denser, the number of highway layers increases, and the lane width doubles.

As the capital of the Asia-Pacific Community, Chang'an is one of the largest megacities on earth. The Guanzhong Plain of nearly 40,000 square kilometers is included in the capital circle. It has a permanent population of more than 300 million and a population density as high as one in the world. Top five.

 Although the government has repeatedly introduced various policies over the years and guided citizens not to gather in the capital, little effect has been achieved.

 There are both reasons for the trend of human nature and factors left over from history, which is very complicated.

 It is understandable how difficult it is to manage such a huge city.

Chang'an is divided into 36 administrative districts. The "Qishan District" where Ji Xinghuo lives is located in the west, more than 100 kilometers away from the city center.

The car drove away from the superconducting highway after 20 minutes of speeding. Not far from the ramp was the destination of the trip.

Ji Xinghuo got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of him.

 This is a stadium.

The stadium, located on the north bank of the Wei River, has a very unique appearance design. The main building is like a diamond-shaped spaceship sailing at high speed, with sharp edge lines. The exterior walls are covered with silver-gray glass, which shines in the sun. It is a landmark building in the capital. one.

The "Tianqin National Stadium" covers an area of ​​more than 150,000 square meters, but is only 20 stories high. It is a luxury in the center of Chang'an where land is at a premium.

 This stadium is a sacred place in the hearts of countless people across the country and around the world.

 Because it is the home stadium of many teams in the ACP “Super League” and “League A”.

Here, many cultural and artistic performances are held every week. It has hosted many "International Invitational Tournaments" and two "Super World Cups", staged many exciting battles that people still talk about, and gave birth to many famous players. The illustrious world champion.

Ji Xinghuo has also come here to watch games before.

However, he came to take the physical fitness test today. Tianqin Stadium is a public facility, and the Star Boundary Department has set up a "Foreign Service Center" inside.

Ji Xinghuo entered through the gate. The first to fifth floors on the west side of the venue belonged to the Yiren Service Center. The people inside were bustling, and most of the people coming and going were young people. Like him, they came for the physical fitness test. Some were nervous, while others were calm. But his eyes were full of expectations.

 He made an appointment for services last night and followed the instructions to move to the second floor.

 Soon, Ji Xinghuo came to a window.

 “Ji Xinghuo.”

A female staff member wearing a white uniform read out the name. When she saw the photo on the screen, she subconsciously raised her head and looked at Ji Xinghuo quickly, thinking that she was concealed. With a smile on her face, she asked: "Mr. Ji, apply Physical fitness test?”

 “Yes.” Ji Xinghuo nodded.

 “Please verify your identity.” The staff showed rare enthusiasm.

Ji Xinghuo followed her guidance and stood in the designated area on the ground. A ring-shaped instrument scanned him from head to toe and collected several milliliters of blood for anti-doping and genetic testing.

“Mr. Ji, please go to the waiting area and rest. The results will be available soon.”

Ji Xinghuo went to the waiting area and sat down. He looked calm and calm, but in fact, he couldn't help but feel a little ups and downs in his heart.

The scan just now is a very important step to confirm the applicant's information to prevent the identity of the citizen from being stolen and someone claiming a foreign species.

Nowadays, with the advanced biotechnology, it is almost possible to impersonate someone else’s identity and make it look real.

Appearance and body camouflage are the simplest. Facial feature recognition, fingerprints, voice lines, and even irises can all be faked. Even the safest genetic sequence can be completely replicated as long as someone pays a sufficient price.

 This kind of thing happened in history. A group used genetic technology to deceive the alien service center and impersonate a series of high-quality alien species.

 Since then, authentication has become more stringent.

Ji Xinghuo's identity is of course no problem. What he is worried about is the influence of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, especially the iris information of the right eye. If it does not match up, it will be very troublesome. I observed it for a long time last night and found that the circle of light on the pupil of my right eye would not appear unless I intentionally revealed it, but I was just afraid of it just in case.

 Fortunately, he received the notification a few minutes later.

 Verification passed!

Ji Xinghuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and got up to go to the testing site.

The test set by the Astral Ministry is divided into four items, namely strength, speed, endurance and will. In fact, only the first three are directly related to physical fitness. For the will, although a strong body can breed a stronger will, There are exceptions.

 The passing criteria for each test are different.

 As long as you pass one test, you will be considered qualified and you will be eligible to apply for a different species.

 The better the test score, the higher the score; the more projects passed, the higher the overall evaluation, and you can apply for higher-grade alien species.

Ji Xinghuo chose two tests, strength and speed.

 He first came to the Hall of Power.

This place is like a huge gym, with rows of barbells and stands. Several people are already testing under the supervision of the examiner. Others are watching or warming up. The people around them are all strong, both male and female. There are obvious signs of exercise.

 The content of the strength test is very simple: bench press, squat and deadlift without equipment, and each action is completed ten times.

 Then the three weight data are added up, and if the male reaches 500 kg and the female reaches 350 kg, the strength test is passed.

 The rules sound simple, but are actually very difficult.

 This standard is somewhere between those who are talented and those who are not talented. As long as people with a little talent have a few years of correct training, work hard, and use today's fitness technology, they can achieve a total strength of 500 kilograms.

 It is a pity that the vast majority of people are unable to persist in training, and their efforts are so low that they do not require talent.

Those who dare to take the test are basically sure to pass.

 The same goes for Ji Xinghuo.

 He did not go over to watch others test, he chose a corner, took off his clothes and began to warm up silently.

First I did a set of stretching exercises to speed up the blood flow, then I picked up two 5kg dumbbells and lay down on the incline bench to do a few sets of fly raises and rowing movements. I then changed to heavier dumbbells, and finally started using barbells. , slowly increase the weight.

Ten minutes later, Ji Xinghuo's whole body became hot and he was sweating slightly.

 “Ji Xinghuo.” The examiner over there shouted, “Is Ji Xinghuo here?”

"coming."

Ji Xinghuo walked over quickly.

The examiner is a man in his thirties, tall and strong, more than two meters tall. The trapezius muscles on his neck are bulging high, holding up the waistcoat on his body. He is as strong as a bear. Standing there, he looks like a bear. It was shocking, he was obviously a strange person.

"It should be a 'giant general', a mid-level alien." Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, "A typical big-muscled tyrant."

The examiner was also looking at Ji Xinghuo. He first confirmed his identity, then looked over Ji Xinghuo's body, nodded slightly and said, "Your hands and feet are in good proportion, and your training is good. Your muscles are very standard, but just looking good is useless. , if you want to reach the standard of strength, you have to work harder and strive for extraordinary performance."

Ji Xinghuo was quite surprised. This examiner's vision was very accurate.

 My strength is indeed not particularly outstanding. I could only reach the standard steadily at the beginning of the year. In the past, when I trained in the gym, I always failed one or two times out of ten.

 The men and women waiting for the test were also observing Ji Xinghuo.

Men's gaze is very pure, just to see how big the muscles are, but women's gaze is different. They pay more attention to Ji Xinghuo's face.

 “How much weight do you want to lift?” the examiner asked.     “130 kilograms.”

Ji Xinghuo installed the barbell plates and adjusted the angle of the incline bench according to his own figure. Then he lay down on it, holding the iron bar with both hands. After the examiner gave the start command, he took a deep breath and used his strength to push the barbell up slightly and leave. Stand, then lower your arms until the bar touches your chest, and then push up.

Perform the bench press ten times to complete a set of movements in one go.

 From beginning to end, Ji Xinghuo’s expression was calm and there was no mask of pain on his face.

The examiner was a little surprised that he did it so easily, but he immediately announced: "The movement is completed, the result is valid, the bench press weight is 130 kilograms."

 In fact, Ji Xinghuo himself was surprised.

 Although he has integrated the Vientiane Star Pupil, except for the visual and sensory functions, his physical strength has not increased.

"It should be the effect of 'seeing the slightest' and 'accurate'." He nodded secretly. The similar functions possessed by these two Vientiane Star Pupils allowed him to accurately control his own strength, and his force movements became more standardized, which in disguise increased his strength. .

 “I can push heavier weights now.”

However, Ji Xinghuo did not rashly increase the scheduled weight, as long as it can pass the test.

Ji Xinghuo successfully completed the next set of squats and deadlifts, with scores of 181 kilograms and 195 kilograms respectively, and a total weight of 506 kilograms, passing the strength test.

Seeing Ji Xinghuo's relaxed look, the examiner couldn't help but say: "Your upper limit of strength is far more than 506 kilograms. If you go back and practice harder, you can at least increase your weight by 100 kilograms and get a higher score. Do you want to think about it?" ?”

Ji Xinghuo understood what he meant and asked himself to give up this test and come back next time.

 Higher ratings mean better aliens.

 But he already has a plan.

"No, please register the results for me, thank you." Ji Xinghuo politely refused.

"It's a pity..." The examiner shook his head, with regret on his face. He had seen many talented people like Ji Xinghuo, but most of them were impatient. After training to pass the test, they hurriedly applied for the alien species, unwilling to wait a moment or two more. Year.

 In the future, they will know how difficult it is to obtain high-grade alien species.

 National welfare is the only opportunity that more than 90% of aliens have in their lives, allowing them to obtain high-level abilities relatively easily.

 The examiner did not try to persuade him any more and helped Ji Xinghuo register his results.

Ji Xinghuo left the strength hall and came to the speed test venue next door. There were fewer people here and there were more than a dozen treadmills specially used for testing.

 The content of the speed test is a four-hundred-meter run. Men are required to run within 52 seconds, and women are required to run within 60 seconds.

 The less time it takes, the higher the score.

Since he had just warmed up, Ji Xinghuo did a few stretching exercises before getting on a treadmill. This type of treadmill is specially used to test speed. The track has been widened. The faster the tester runs, the faster the track turns to maintain synchronization, and wind blows directly in front to simulate wind resistance.

 After the examiner confirmed his identity, Ji Xinghuo immediately threw off his long legs and ran at full speed.

 Bang bang bang…

 The footsteps were fast and steady.

Ji Xinghuo ran easily for the first 300 meters, but when he sprinted for the last 100 meters, he was approaching the limit of anaerobic exercise. A large amount of lactic acid accumulated in his body, and his face began to distort.

"Finished test!"

 The treadmill slowed to a stop. Ji Xinghuo jumped off and held up his knees, gasping for air. He was exhausted and felt a little like vomiting.

 The last ten seconds of sprinting felt like an hour.

This is why so few people take part in the speed test. The four-hundred-meter run is almost the most painful and tiring sport for ordinary people. Moreover, running requires more talent than strength, and many people cannot run fast no matter how hard they train.

 “45.8 seconds!”

Ji Xinghuo looked at the time on the treadmill. It was nearly one second faster than his previous best time, far exceeding the standard required by the test.

 The examiner next to me was surprised. It had been a long time since there had been such a good result.

Ji Xinghuo calmed down his breathing and left.

Previously, the examiner of the strength test said that his strength training was not good enough. In fact, Ji Xinghuo did it intentionally. What he was really good at was speed and explosiveness. If he focused on strength training and gained weight and muscle, he would not be able to improve his speed and might be kicked out. Holding back.

 The remaining two of the four tests are the endurance test, which is a 10,000-meter run. Men are required to run within 33 minutes, and women are required to run within 40 minutes.

 The will test is to endure a level seven electric shock pain for ten minutes. The standards for men and women are the same.

 Xinghuo can pass both tests.

 He ​​often tests himself during training. He can run 10,000 meters for 29 minutes and can endure the pain of electric shock for more than ten minutes.

In fact, four years ago, when Ji Xinghuo was eighteen years old, he had already passed the speed test, but he did not take the test until he graduated from college, in order to pass all four tests, get a higher score, and apply for a Extraordinary powers.

 But now, after getting the Vientiane Star Pupil, he changed his plan and gave up on striving for over-the-limit superpowers, instead switching to excellent superpowers that were one level lower.

 There are two reasons.

 The first one is that Ji Xinghuo wants to maintain a low presence in the short term.

 Applying for over-limit superpowers must go through independent evaluation and political review by the Astral Ministry, and is by no means limited to scanning and blood drawing.

The Star Boundary Ministry will thoroughly investigate his resume from childhood to adulthood, and will also conduct multiple rounds of physical examinations and participate in several interviews. The assessment officials will be at least super aliens, and even legendary. Ji Xinghuo is not sure that Wanxiang Xingtong will not be Discover.

 Furthermore, based on my test scores, it is not 100% possible to apply for over-limit powers.

  There are 5.6 billion people in the Asia-Pacific community, and there are too many geniuses!

Hundreds of people pass the four tests every year, all with perfect scores. Many of them are younger, and there are many minors aged fifteen or sixteen.

 And I am 22 years old this year, and I don’t have much advantage.

Ji Xinghuo estimated that the probability of applying for an over-limit power was only one-third. It was not worth taking the risk of exposing the All-Seeing Star Pupils just for the sake of a not-so-high possibility.

 The second reason is that Ji Xinghuo has already thought about the path he will take in the next few years.

According to the functions of the Vientiane Star Pupil, the adapted abilities can be integrated to quickly form combat effectiveness. However, the few over-limit abilities that can be applied for are not matched by the Vientiane Star Pupil.

Ji Xinghuo came to the first floor of the Yiren Service Center with his future plans in mind.

“Hello, I have passed the physical fitness test and now I want to apply for a heterogeneous species.” He walked into the application room on the first floor of the service center and said to the staff here.

"Please wait."

The staff member was a young woman. After quickly confirming Ji Xinghuo's test results, she asked: "Mr. Ji Xinghuo, which variant do you want to apply for?"

 “A thousand dexterous hands.”

Ji Xinghuo answered without hesitation: "The Ranger's dexterous hands."
