Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 3 Testing

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 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, they have had little effect.

This is caused by both human nature and historical factors, which is very complicated.

The difficulty of managing such a large city can be imagined.

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

After driving for twenty minutes, the car left the superconducting highway and found its destination not far from the ramp.

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 Weihe River has a very unique shape design. The main building looks like a diamond-shaped spaceship sailing at high speed. The edges are sharp and the exterior walls are covered with silver-gray glass, which shines brightly in the sun.

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.

The stadium is a sacred place for countless people across the country and around the world.

Because it is the home stadium of many teams in the Asian Communist Party's "Super League" and "League A".

Here, a number of cultural performances are held every week. It has hosted several "International Invitational Tournaments" and two "Super World Cups".

Ji Xinghuo has 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 with people. Most of them were young people. Like himself, they came for physical fitness tests. Some were nervous, some were calm, but their eyes were full of anticipation.

He made an appointment for the service last night, and followed the guidance 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 a designated area on the ground. A circular instrument scanned him from head to toe, and collected a few milliliters of blood for anti-doping and genetic testing.

"Mr. Ji, please go to the waiting area to rest, the result will be out soon."

Ji Xinghuo went to the waiting area and sat down, looking calm and calm, but in fact he couldn't help feeling a little ups and downs.

The scan just now is a very important link to confirm the applicant's information, so as to prevent the identity of the citizen from being stolen and pretending to be 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 gang used genetic technology to deceive the Alien Service Center and obtained a series of high-quality aliens.

Since then, authentication has become more stringent.

Of course there is no problem with Ji Xinghuo's identity. 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 was notified within minutes.

Verification passed!

Ji Xinghuo 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 qualified and be eligible to apply for a different species.

The better the test score, the higher the score; the more items passed, the higher the overall evaluation, and you can apply for a 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. Do each action ten times to complete the test.

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

The rules sound simple, but they are actually quite difficult.

This standard is somewhere between talented and untalented. People with a little talent can achieve a total strength of 500 kilograms after several years of correct training, hard work, and current fitness technology.

It's a pity that the vast majority of people can't persist in training, and the level of effort is too low to reach the point where they need to fight for talent.

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

The same is true for Ji Xinghuo.

Instead of watching other people test, he chose a corner by himself, 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 slightly sweating.

"Ji Xinghuo." The examiner over there called out loudly, "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', an intermediate alien." Ji Xinghuo said in his heart, "A typical big-muscled tyrant."

The examiner was also looking at Ji Xinghuo. He first confirmed his identity, then sized up Ji Xinghuo, nodded slightly, and said, "Your hands and feet have a good ratio of length to length, and you've trained well.

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

My own strength is indeed not particularly outstanding, and I can only reach the standard smoothly at the beginning of the year. When I used to train in the gym, I always failed one or two times out of ten.

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

Men's eyes are very pure, just to see if their muscles are big or not, but women's eyes are different, they pay more attention to Ji Xinghuo's face.

"How much 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.

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

From the beginning to the end, Ji Xinghuo's expression was very calm, and there was no pain mask 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, and the bench press weighs 130 kilograms."

In fact, Ji Xinghuo himself was also surprised.

Although he has integrated the Myriad Star Pupils, apart from the functions of the visual senses, he has not increased his physical strength.

"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 higher weights now.”

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

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

Seeing Ji Xinghuo's relaxed expression, the examiner couldn't help but said, "Your upper limit of strength is far beyond 506 kilograms. If you go back and practice harder, you can at least improve 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 the test and come back next time.

Higher scores mean better xenomorphs.

But he already has a plan.

"No, please help me register my grades, 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 any longer. Two years.

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, and they can easily obtain high-level abilities.

The examiner didn't try to persuade him anymore, and helped Ji Xinghuo register his grades.

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 52-meter run. Men are required to run within 60 seconds, and women are required to run within seconds.

The less time you spend, the higher your score.

Because he had just warmed up, Ji Xinghuo did a few stretches before getting on a treadmill.This kind of treadmill is specially used for speed testing. The track is widened. The faster the tester runs, the faster the track will turn to keep in sync, and there will be wind blowing 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, and Ji Xinghuo jumped off, holding his knees and 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, which was almost one second faster than his past best time, far exceeding the standard required by the test.

The examiner next to him looked surprised. It had been a long time since he had such good results.

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 33-meter run. Men are required to run within 40 minutes, and women are required to run within minutes.

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

The Spark can pass both tests.

He often tests himself when training. He can run 29 meters in 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 Wanxiang Xingpupil, he changed his plan, gave up fighting for the super-limit ability, and changed to a lower-level excellent ability.

There are two reasons.

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

Applications for over-limit superpowers must undergo independent evaluation and political review by the Astral Ministry, and are by no means limited to scanning and blood drawing.

The Department of the Star Boundary will thoroughly investigate his resume from childhood to adulthood, and will have to conduct multiple rounds of physical examinations and participate in several interviews. The assessment officials are at least super aliens, or even legendary. Ji Xinghuo is not sure that the Vientiane Star Pupil will not be discovered.

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

There are 56 billion people in the Asia-Pacific Community, and there are too many geniuses!

Every year, hundreds of people pass the four tests and get full marks in all of them. Many of them are younger, and there are quite a few minors under the age of fifteen or sixteen.

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

Ji Xinghuo estimates that the probability of him applying for an over-limit ability is only one-third. In order to keep the possibility low, it is not worth the risk of exposing the Myriad Star Pupils.

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 Pupils, the adapted abilities can be fused to quickly form combat power. The few over-limit abilities that can be applied for do not match the Vientiane Star Pupils.

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 replied without hesitation: "The ranger's thousand dexterous hands."
