Many people clenched their teeth and tried to control their facial muscles. Some of them struggled to the extreme, and their faces were like cramps, with their entire faces distorted in a horrible way.
Chen Ming watched these scenes quietly.
With the current development of science and technology, forced confessions are no longer the old-fashioned way of whipping, beating with sticks, or pressing with red-hot irons.
Using chemical drugs to force confessions is the most effective method.
Waterboarding is a form of torture to extract a confession, both physically and mentally, and it requires courage in the face of death.
The use of chemical drugs to force confessions is intended to test one's willpower and one's ability to endure.
Finally, under the influence of the drugs, four more people gritted their teeth and mumbled out the answers to the questions.
These four people are eliminated.
The last eight people who remained all held on until the drugs wore off. They clenched their teeth tightly and didn't say a word.
When the medicine wore off, the twelve people were helped to the dining hall and had a hearty meal.
Afterwards, the four eliminated people were helped back to the dormitory to pack their things.
The other eight people who passed the test came to Chen Ming under the guidance of the instructor.
At this time, these eight people all looked haggard, and each of them had big dark circles under their eyes.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a panda family meeting.
After all, this test of forced confession made them endure for more than fifty hours.
Although it was hard work, excitement was written all over everyone's face.
Because according to common sense, they have passed the last level, and the next step is to change into starry sky camouflage uniforms, put on berets, and stand under the red flag to take the oath!
Chen Ming looked at them and smiled, "Having come this far, you have proven your strength. I am happy for you."
There was a sunny smile on everyone’s face. At this moment, no matter how hard or tiring it was, it was worth it!
Chen Ming continued to look at them and said calmly:
"That is to say, even if you fail the next assessment, you can go back and study for a year before taking part in the selection again. You should be able to join the special forces with a high probability."
When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces froze instantly.
What the hell?!
There are also assessments?!
Didn’t it end at the interrogation stage in previous years? !
Everyone stared at Chen Ming in a daze, without any joy in their eyes.
All that remains is deep fear and worry.
If there is an assessment, there will be elimination...
There are eight people left now, and how many of them will be able to pass in the end
"Report!" Someone suddenly stood up and shouted, "Excuse me, what other assessments are there?"
Not only him, but everyone else also had a look of confusion on their faces, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
Obviously, this question is on everyone’s mind.
Chen Ming looked at them and explained: "Maybe you don't know that the Feilong Special Forces has now initially completed the information transformation."
"In order to integrate the information transformation, our requirement is that the people we recruit must also have a certain learning ability in information knowledge."
"So, the next assessment has nothing to do with physical fitness or military quality. What is being assessed is your attainments in information knowledge."
After hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale with fear. They looked at each other and saw confusion and fear in others' eyes.
What is informatization and transformation? I don’t know anything about these!
Everyone looked at Chen Ming, feeling extremely panicked.
When they are in their company, they rarely go to the computer room.
Now asking them to test their knowledge of information is totally irrelevant and nonsense.
Chen Ming looked at their appearance and chuckled, "Follow me to the computer room, and you will know."
After saying that, he turned and rushed towards the computer room.
Everyone took one look and hurried to follow.
At this time, the area around the computer room was quiet, with no one around.
The two instructors stood upright at the door of the computer room with their hands behind their backs.
Chen Ming and eight other people walked into the computer room.
Just now, when they finished the anti-interrogation test and went to eat, Chen Ming had already prepared the examination room.
There are eight seats in total, separated by a circle.
At each location was a booklet with 'Basic Computer Security Knowledge' printed on the cover.
Chen Ming asked them to take a seat, and then said to them:
"You have two assessment tasks this time."
"First, I have implanted a small virus in each of the computers in front of you. After you have learned the basic computer security knowledge in the booklet, you must check and kill the virus according to the contents of the booklet."
"Second, on your computer desktop, there is a simple encrypted folder named "hello, world". Use the cracking technology based on the content in the booklet to crack the file."
"The assessment lasts two hours in total. If you fail to complete the task within two hours, you will be eliminated and will have to come back next year."
After hearing what Chen Ming said, the eight people sat up straight, quickly opened the booklet, and read it carefully.
Chen Ming looked at their focused expressions and a smile appeared on his face.
He naturally knew that these people had almost no computer knowledge. If they were asked to study and crack viruses on their own, they would probably not be able to do it even if they sat in front of the computer for a whole year.
So, naturally, they will be given a guide to study.
Of course, Chen Ming wouldn’t make it that simple.
Otherwise, if you solve the problems step by step according to the guide, what is the difference between that and an open-book exam? It is meaningless.
Therefore, Chen Ming's booklet, in addition to being a guide, also contains a lot of computer knowledge.
It is equivalent to a basic computer textbook.
In order to solve Chen Ming's problem, they have to understand and integrate the contents of the textbook and apply them in a short period of time.
Chen Ming naturally had his reasons for adding this assessment.
At present, special forces are all information-based, and in the future, informatization is the general trend. Each company will gradually begin to use informatization and fight information warfare.
If they want to join the special forces, they naturally have to have some talent in computers.
At least you need to learn some computer knowledge and master the most basic software program knowledge.
Otherwise, faced with more and more high-tech equipment, how can we effectively use these equipment if we do not have computer knowledge
Not to mention the distant things, just take the drone that Chen Ming has been using to monitor them these days. If he didn’t have information technology knowledge, would he be able to operate it
Also, future artillery will no longer be the type that fires as soon as it is ignited.
You also need to enter precise coordinates on the computer.
How to use these weapons without computer knowledge
In the future, special forces operations will focus more on sending special forces soldiers deep behind enemy lines.
Use computer knowledge to crack the enemy's command system and destroy its power system, communication hubs, etc.
Inflict the greatest damage to the enemy at the lowest cost.
All of these require computer knowledge!
Chapter 100: Tasks beyond the task, check and kill hidden viruses!
Looking at everyone busying around, Chen Ming smiled gently.
He also studied the setting of this assessment.
If it’s too difficult and no one can pass it, that would be a bad ending.
If it's too easy, anyone can pass it and there's no point.
So after careful consideration, Chen Ming came up with this set of moderate questions that are neither difficult nor easy.
It is equivalent to setting up a threshold that is neither too high nor too low. Anyone with a smart mind can complete the assessment through exploration and understanding.
The previous assessments tested their physical fitness, adaptability, willpower and other abilities.
The assessment that Chen Ming is setting now is to test their brains.
If you have no talent for computers or your brain is not very bright at all, to put it bluntly, you are a person with a dull mind.
Then I'm sorry, you will be turned away by the special forces.
Today's special forces require more than just strong physical fitness, military skills and basic cultural knowledge.
After entering the information transformation, computer knowledge is also a key point.
These eight people were able to stand out among more than 2,000 people, so naturally they were outstanding in various abilities. Under the watchful eyes of Chen Ming and Lei Rui, they quickly finished reading the contents of the manual.
