Naval headquarters.
At the bottom of the tower, inside the test room.
Coles looked around. His first impression of the room was how spacious and huge it was. The gray marble walls stretched to the left, right, and upward, like a stadium that could hold thousands of people.
On the roof above, there are some white light sources that look like light bulbs. The dazzling light makes the test room appear very bright.
Not far ahead, there were mechanical instruments that were clearly out of place in the world of pirates.
Coles was only slightly surprised by this, after all, there were many scientists in the navy.
Among them, Vegapunk is also known as a scientist whose wisdom surpasses the present by five hundred years. He can even create robots like the Pacifist, so it is quite normal for these modern instruments to appear in the navy.
Under the arrangement of the headquarters officers, the navy personnel participating in the assessment proceeded in an orderly manner. The first step was naturally to measure their height and weight.
The two female navy men in charge of measuring and recording were in a happier mood after seeing Coles' handsome face.
"Major Coles, please step over here."
As requested by the other party, Coles took off his boots and walked to the wall where height was measured.
On the wall, there is a precisely engraved ruler with an accuracy of millimeters. As long as you stand close to it, you can accurately measure your height.
After Coles pressed his back against the wall for a few seconds, the female navy officer in charge of the measurement also gave the data.
"Height: 190cm."
At the side, another female sailor began to record on the information sheet.
Hear this height.
While Coles was satisfied, he couldn't help but have some thoughts.
When he first joined the navy last year, he was only 1.8 meters tall. After the recruit period ended, he grew to 1.84 meters tall. Unexpectedly, a year later, his height had reached 1.9 meters.
This may be due to changes in the body and a sudden increase in food intake.
After the height test.
It is a weight test.
Coles stood on a machine that was somewhat similar to the weighing machine in his previous life, and the number on top began to increase from zero.
"Weight: 92 kg."
After recording the most basic physical information, Coles continued to move forward with the team.
In addition to the naval forces recommended by the various naval branches, the naval headquarters also has many naval forces participating in the assessment.
Estimate step by step.
There are about five hundred people in total.
After completing the basic information, the assessment team came to a row of huge machines.
The leading officer of the headquarters stood beside the instrument and announced:
“The initial screening assessment has begun.
The first project: force test.
Now, there is a row of testing instruments in front of you. You use your strength to strike, and the examiner beside you will record your Dao force value. "
When they heard that the first item was a strength test, most of the sailors, who were not normally very strong, began to show worries on their faces.
On the contrary, some sturdy and powerful navy soldiers are full of confidence.
After hearing the instructor's explanation, everyone also learned the rules of the force test. They could only strike once, and the instrument would calculate the number based on the strength.
"Examiner, can this instrument make mistakes?" a navy man asked.
The officer in charge of the assessment records responded: "These instruments were invented by scientists in our navy. The accuracy of the instruments has been confirmed and there will be basically no errors."
"Okay, let's start the test."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Standing at the head of Coles's column was a naval lieutenant recommended by the West Sea Branch.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly came to the front of the measuring instrument and punched with all his strength at the point where the force value was detected.
Test instrument screen.
The original red number "zero" quickly increased and finally showed the number "152".
The naval lieutenant commander from the West Sea looked at the examining officer next to him, wanting to know how he performed.
The assessment officer explained.
"The Dao power of an ordinary navy soldier is basically 10, and the threshold for a superhuman Dao power is 500. Okay, next one."
Immediately following.
The second candidate, a navy man, tested his strength in front of the instrument, and the number displayed was "52".
This number is twice worse than the previous Major Xihai.
Suddenly, the navy candidate felt a little depressed and worried, not knowing whether he could pass.
Seeing this, the officer in charge of the assessment said to comfort them: "Don't be nervous or anxious. The screening assessment is based on a comprehensive consideration of the results of each project. Don't be discouraged by your current results."
"Okay, next one."
…
As the sailors in front of them left one by one, it was Coles' turn to be tested.
For this Taoist force test.
Coles had the impression that the agents in CP9 had tested their Dao force.
Tao power can reflect a person's combat effectiveness, but it cannot completely determine a person's strength.
Because the battle is not determined by strength alone, there are many factors that may affect it, such as devil fruits, swordsmanship, etc.
In the thinking process.
The people who were testing in front have left, and now it is Coles' turn.
Coles's Dao force test immediately attracted most people's attention. After all, he was the most dazzling new star of the Navy, and they all wanted to see how much Dao force Coles could get.
Coles also has some expectations for this.
In his memory, Rob Lucci, who was hailed by the World Government as the strongest CP9 in 800 years, seemed to have a dao power value of 4000 when he appeared.
Of course, that was a test under Lucci's normal conditions, and he didn't even use his devil fruit ability.
However, a Daoli value of 4000 still shows how strong Lucci's physical skills are.
So what is his current Taoist power value
Coles raised his right leg and then kicked hard at the testing part of the instrument.
Peng!
A muffled sound was heard.
The numbers on the testing instrument began to jump from "zero" and quickly broke through double digits.
Afterwards, the Dao force value increased by hundreds without any slowdown.
The superhuman threshold of 500 Dao strength points was broken, but the number continued to rise, 600, 700, 800, 900...
The three-digit number was broken.
The red number showing the Dao power value continued to increase, and finally a value was slowly revealed.
1200!
Almost everyone present was dumbfounded. A force value of 500 was already considered to be the threshold of a superman, but Coles actually measured a force value of 1200!
The officer who was recording on the side was also very surprised. This was an impressive number that no one in the navy had been able to achieve for many years.
Dao power value 1200
Coles was a little disappointed, but he didn't care too much. After all, he had only been training for six years in total, and it was already very good that his physical skills could reach this level.
He left the instrument for testing the Dao force and began to wait for the next round of tests.
While waiting, he also saw the tests of Dashigi and Mod, whose power values were "32" and "74" respectively.
The second item is the speed test.
That is, a runway as long as one thousand meters, recording the completion time of each navy.
Coles had a fast shaving speed, so naturally he completed the test at the fastest speed.
The third item is reaction avoidance.
The sailors taking the assessment entered a specific small room.
Rubber bullets will be shot from the opposite wall, and the participating navy players will dodge them. The more rubber bullets they dodge, the higher the score they will get.
Requirements: You cannot block, you can only dodge.
…
Nearly half a day.
The preliminary screening project assessment has ended, and there will be a written test in the afternoon.
Each participating navy officer had his own separate compartment, which, besides a table and chair, contained only a blank test paper and a pen for writing.
When Coles walked into the written examination room and sat down in the chair, he suddenly felt like he was taking the college entrance examination again.
The test paper in front of him did have a huge score, which was enough to affect whether he could enter the elite training camp after selecting the navy.
By entering the elite training camp, you can receive better instruction and your strength will improve rapidly.
If you can't enter the elite training camp, you can only accept failure helplessly.
Every candidate for the navy exam filled out the answers carefully.
The same is true for Coles.
Even though he had already reserved a spot, he was serious about everything he did.
He also wrote down his answers on the written test paper in front of him with a serious attitude.
After turning over the answer sheet, Coles saw only one question:
Why join the Navy
Faced with this question, perhaps writing various words of justice would give higher scores, but Coles did not do so. He just wrote down the reasons why he wanted to join the Navy.
This has nothing to do with the reserved spot. Even if he did not reserve a spot in the elite training camp and came here as a recommended navy recruit, he would have written it this way.
Because he has only one answer!
