"Director Li, how did Professor Wu Bin from Tsinghua University evaluate Gao Fei's computer skills?"
Vice Principal Qin Cheng, his hair half white, was the first to snap out of his daze.
He had seen the news reports about catching spies, but the reports had vaguely omitted the entire process, only mentioning that Gao Fei was the most crucial link in the whole incident!
Therefore, Vice Principal Qin was very curious about the technical level of this new student, to the extent that the military would try to recruit him!
"According to Professor Wu, Gao Fei's skills are superior to his, and there are many programming techniques that he himself needs to learn from Gao Fei!"
After hearing Li Changhuang's description, everyone was surprised by how highly Wu Bin rated Gao Fei.
In the field of computer science, among the recognized professional talents.
Wu Bin could be considered a top expert in the entire circle, with countless disciples and numerous awards.
Upon arriving at Jingda, Professor Wu could have served as the chief mentor for the Computer Science Department.
To think that an expert would have such high praise for a freshman who had just enrolled.
It was no wonder the military had offered such enticing conditions to keep Gao Fei. With talent like this, if they could hold onto him, his future would undoubtedly be brilliant.
After a brief moment of thought, Vice Principal Qin stated directly, "Go tell Gao Fei that I approve the seed funding for his startup project, and I will also introduce him to some capital-minded alumni. Furthermore, when he returns to school next semester, as long as he passes all assessments, he can pursue a combined Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degree, and even graduate early! After that, he can major in any field he wishes! As long as he doesn't fail any courses, he will receive a degree!"
"Yes, Principal Qin, I'll go tell him now!"
When Li Changhuang delivered the news.
Those students who had just learned that Gao Fei could stay with the military now heard that he could pursue a combined Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degree, and their eyes were filled with the gaze one reserves for monsters.
But they also understood one thing from this: Gao Fei's hacking skills were likely already at the forefront of the country. Otherwise, neither the school nor the military would have offered such terms.
With the spy incident and recruitment incident concluded, Gao Fei returned to his normal training. In the subsequent physical training, he did not reveal his true strength, maintaining a level equal to his classmates. This also gave the students in Class Five, who were training with him, a chance to breathe. If he had once again shocked everyone with his physical prowess, they probably would have felt like dying! Gao Fei also understood that being too outstanding would continuously attract the attention of higher military echelons. The top leaders would become even more resolute in their desire for him to stay with the military, so he tried his best to maintain a low profile before rejecting Captain Huang.
The next day!
Li Dong stood on the training ground, looking with satisfaction at the tanned, resolute-eyed, and increasingly muscular freshmen before him. After a month of physical training, everyone's physical fitness had steadily improved. Even Li Shuishui, who used to be a 180-pound fatty, had shed a considerable amount of weight. Although he still looked a bit plump, he was very sturdy. Gao Fei, standing at the front, showed little change except for being a bit darker. His physical fitness had already surpassed the normal human level and could basically be considered top-tier. To see any further improvement would require activating the simulator again.
After scanning the group, Li Dong cleared his throat and shouted, "We're going to do something fun and exciting later. All personnel, turn right! Forward, march!"
As they jogged out of the training ground and past the administrative building, the group was filled with confusion, unsure of where their squad leader was taking them. Except for rest days, they basically stayed on the training ground during training days. Today, their squad leader was being mysterious, and they wondered what trick he had up his sleeve! Gao Fei, jogging at the front, noticed the direction they were heading and his eyes suddenly lit up. He had been looking forward to today's training for a long time.
As rows of trees receded behind them, Class Five had arrived at the outer edge of the military zone. Seeing the mountains gradually appearing ahead, everyone was puzzled. But with a gunshot, they all froze and immediately realized they were heading towards the shooting range.
Moments later, as the targets on the shooting range came into view, everyone let out excited roars. After joining the military, they had heard that they would get to handle guns and shoot at the range during military training, and no male student was not excited. However, as queue training and physical training progressed, with military training nearing its end and still no guns in sight, no one held out much hope. Now, hearing the gunfire from the range, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace. The shooting training they had longed for was finally here!
On the shooting range, soldiers from the Fifth Company were conducting their daily shooting practice. The gunfire rose and fell like firecrackers during the Spring Festival! The freshmen from Class Five arrived at the shooting training ground and, looking at the soldiers from the Fifth Company firing their weapons, couldn't help but rub their hands together in anticipation. They were already picturing themselves holding a gun, hitting bullseyes on the range.
Li Dong, leading the group, glanced at the excited freshmen and shouted loudly, "Turn left!"
Everyone was taken aback, looking at the shooting range gradually receding and looking bewildered. Weren't they here to shoot? Was it just a tour? Everyone frowned, full of confusion!
"At ease, attention, at ease!" Following the squad leader's commands, Class Five formed a queue in front of a truck. Li Dong turned and walked towards a comrade guarding the truck. After a brief exchange, he signed his name in a notebook and then called out to Class Five behind him, "Gao Fei, Zhang Cheng, step out! Come here and help move things!"
The two jogged over and, under the squad leader's direction, carried two army-green wooden crates back to the Class Five queue.
*Clang!*
As soon as the wooden crates were opened, rows of pitch-black guns with a dark sheen appeared before everyone's eyes. Li Dong casually picked up one and began to introduce it, "Type 95 assault rifle, caliber 5.8mm, overall length 764 millimeters, total weight 3.25 kilograms, effective range 400 meters, firing modes include single shot and semi-automatic, rate of fire 650 rounds per minute, magazine capacity 30 rounds..." The squad leader introduced the firearm while holding it. Below, Class Five listened with rapt attention. Although they had seen the guns introduced by the squad leader many times online, hearing the introduction in person was different, especially since they would soon be able to handle them.
After introducing the firearms, Li Dong continued, "For the next few days, your training will not be shooting, but disassembling, assembling, and maintaining the firearms. I warn you, once you get a gun, it is your second life. Except for rest periods, during training, if the person is present, the gun must be present. Anyone who dares to drop or damage the gun without authorization will have to run a five-kilometer cross-country without gear! Do you understand?"
"Yes, squad leader!"
"Now, you will receive your weapons in order and board the vehicles, starting with Gao Fei!"
Moments later, except for the ammunition, all twenty members of Class Five had received their firearms. After receiving their guns, everyone returned along the same route to the training ground. On the way, other freshman classes saw Class Five receiving their weapons and ran much faster than usual. Their experience was similar to Class Five's: initial confusion and disappointment, followed by excitement after receiving their guns.
After all 240 freshmen had received their weapons, they gathered on the training ground and began disassembling and assembling their guns under the guidance of their squad leaders. For the entire morning, the squad leaders resumed their usual thunderous roars. Except for a few individuals, the freshmen either didn't know how to assemble the guns after disassembling them, or they assembled them correctly but didn't know how to disassemble them. Despite being scolded, none of them looked dejected; instead, the more they were scolded, the more excited they became.
Class Five!
"Li Shuishui, I just told you how to disassemble the gun, and you've already forgotten, haven't you? Twenty push-ups on the spot!"
"Yes, squad leader!" Li Shuishui quickly completed his push-ups and picked up the gun to disassemble it again. Gao Fei, sitting at the back of the group, after listening to the instructions on how to disassemble and assemble the gun and practicing twice, became incredibly fast. *Click! Click!* *Clatter!* Pulling the bolt back to load a round! Li Dong, who was still guiding the new recruits, turned his head to look at Gao Fei, who had just finished disassembling and reassembling the gun, and was stunned. Natural absolute gun sense? He quickly walked over to Gao Fei and asked with a frown, "Have you handled a gun before?"
"Reporting, squad leader, no. But I've played with those balloon-shooting toy guns at roadside stalls!"
"Disassemble it again, let me see!" Gao Fei nodded. To maintain a low profile, he took thirty seconds to disassemble the gun.
"Assemble it!" Another thirty seconds to assemble it! After repeating this three times, Gao Fei's disassembly and assembly time was reduced to twenty seconds. Watching his increasingly skilled movements, Li Dong was certain this was absolute gun sense. "Damn it, this kid is naturally cut out to be a soldier... It took me a whole week to master assembly and disassembly. This kid gets the hang of it after a few tries, like an old soldier. Comparing people makes you want to die!" Li Dong gritted his teeth and marveled enviously in his heart. The students in Class Five, watching Gao Fei's increasingly fast and familiar disassembly and assembly, were filled with astonishment and envy. They were being scolded to death, while someone else picked it up so quickly, making them grind their teeth! They were once again convinced by the godlike Gao Fei! Because Gao Fei had "graduated" early, he once again shared the squad leader's tasks, helping the others in Class Five catch up to the training progress. In the following days, in addition to disassembly and assembly, there were various training sessions on holding stances and physical training. All the freshmen, unlike their previous dejected expressions, were enjoying the training as long as they had a gun in their hands.
A week later.
All the freshmen gathered at the shooting range, preparing for live-fire shooting practice. Simultaneously, several military trucks arrived near the shooting range, and among the disembarking personnel were not only Captain Huang and Company Commander Wu but also several company commanders from other companies.
