Girls und War

The back half of the experimental area was where the mature subjects were being tested and taught. Here, many young female researchers in white coats were individually working on "data entry" for specific subjects with each mature tool.

The best learning period for a tool person is between one and three months. Beyond this age, the input efficiency of the tool person will drop sharply.

So they have to hurry up to enter the data.

Sheng lay on the glass window with his face pressed against it, and made a strange sound like "Uh——" with a look of surprise on his face.

The researcher inside seemed to be familiar with Yuhuatai. After seeing the two of them, he walked out and greeted them.

"What project are you working on?" Yuhuatai asked her with a smile.

The researcher sighed and said helplessly, "It's still the same issue—underwater bomb disposal. These tools are really afraid of water. I can't solve this most fundamental problem."

"Hahaha, there is no electronic AI that is not afraid of water, right?" Yuhuatai teased with a smile.

The researcher also laughed, then she looked at Sheng and asked, "Are these new recruits in your company?"

"Yeah, so silly." Yuhuatai glanced at Sheng, who was lying in front of the window and making strange noises, and said to her, "Hey! Don't dirty the glass!"

"Oh." Sheng retracted his body and wiped the saliva marks left on the glass window, looking like a complete idiot.

The researcher couldn't help but say, "If you want to see it, I'll take you in."

"Eh? Is it okay? Is it okay?" Sheng's face was full of anticipation.

"Well..." Yuhuatai asked hesitantly, "Is this going to be troublesome for you?"

"It's okay, if you just want to take a look." The researcher swiped the card for them in front of the glass door, and the two were able to enter the laboratory.

As they walked inside, Sheng's surprised expression became even more exaggerated, as if a whole egg could fit in his mouth.

She exclaimed “Wow” for a long time before pointing at the various facilities inside and asking questions.

"What is this?" "What is this?"

She is like a preschooler, full of curiosity about everything.

The researcher answered all the questions without hesitation, but later he began to feel overwhelmed.

Because Sheng's questions were completely thoughtless, he asked whatever he saw. The answers he heard went in one ear and out the other, leaving no memory at all.

"Then this -"

"This is a trash can!" Yuhuatai couldn't help but say, "Just shut up! It's useless to ask!"

"Oh." Sheng shut his mouth obediently and walked aside.

The researcher wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled at Yuhuatai, and said, "Very...very energetic, this new recruit."

Yuhuatai was embarrassed and replied, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Then the two of them chatted about some daily topics in the laboratory.

From what they said, they were from the same company.

But later they all lost a life, so they were assigned to the logistics and R&D forces.

Sheng was bored and started paying attention to the experimental subjects in the room.

There is a large pool right in front of the room, which is full of water.

There are tool figures of various development levels placed by the pool, each with a label on it.

These tools seemed to be terrified of water, and all of them leaned towards the dry side.

On the platform at the front of the pool sat the youngest slime, with a blank form next to it. It looked like the researcher had just brought it from somewhere else and was preparing to conduct an experiment.

Sheng stared at the little slime, and the slime raised one white eye to look at her. The two of them stared at each other, and no one knew what was being exchanged between them.

The chat between Yuhuatai and the researcher ended quickly. She looked at the time and felt that it was almost time to go back, so she called Sheng.

Sheng responded and immediately ran back to Yuhuatai.

"What are you doing?" Yuhuatai asked.

Sheng blinked her innocent eyes, tucked her hands into her arms, and said, "I didn't do anything."

Yuhuatai didn't pay attention to her little action, just thinking that she was having a brain attack again.

So he turned around and said goodbye to the researcher, then left the laboratory with Sheng.

The researcher watched the two of them leave, not knowing what he was thinking about, and smiled and shook his head.

After thinking for a while, she put these questions aside and devoted herself to the experimental topic again.

But when I walked to the pool, I found that the experimental samples of a certain age group were not on the table.

Did you forget to take it?

The researcher thought about it and couldn't remember clearly.

It seems like I have taken it, but it also seems like I haven’t.

My memory doesn't seem to be very good lately.

In that case, go get another one.

Just pretend that you didn’t take it well.

450. Evaluation of Non-commissioned Officers from Corporal to Sergeant

Half a month passed, and Xia Shu was so idle in the camp that he was almost growing hair.

She studied combat examples for half a month, and during that time she only maintained minimal routine training.

It wasn't that she didn't want to increase the intensity of her training, but she needed to focus on maintaining her body before the test. She needed to give her body adequate rest to avoid any muscle or soft tissue injuries that would affect her performance.

Finally, the time ran out and she finally waited for the day of the sergeant's examination.

In addition to her, other corporal girls in the squadron also went to the examination site.

Even a few girls who were traveling rushed back to take the exam.

These few who came later all had enough confidence in their own skills.

As for the special assessment subjects for sergeants, temporary training for one or two days is useless.

It’s better to give yourself a break and relax. Maybe you will do better in the exam.

Everyone was already familiar with the assessment process. We all got enough sleep the day before and rushed to the examination room that afternoon to prepare for the night march assessment.

Qingxian is still leading the team this time. She is most familiar with this job, so problems are least likely to occur.

So the girls took the examination bus and quickly arrived at the examination venue.

Under the leadership of their respective team leaders, they went to different non-commissioned officer examination centers.

The deputy commander had the largest number of people, so Qingxian followed next to this team.

After they arrived at the examination room, they took their examination number cards under the guidance of the examiner and sat in the waiting area.

The other girls in the assessment team wanted to come over to cheer, but Qingxian thought they were in the way and didn't bring any of them.

Therefore, Jiahe Zhanren and others could only serve as waiting wives in the squadron.

Xia Shu looked at the test number plate in his hand and a process guide diagram, silently thinking about the outline of the subsequent subjects.

Xiaole sat next to her and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."

Xia Shu calmly replied, "I'm not nervous," and then asked, "But why don't you take the exam for machine gunner instead of deputy commander?"

Xiao Le curled his lips and said, "Because I only have one life left."

"?" Xia Shu didn't quite understand the logic here.

"Hey, you know I have to report to the Navy Department with Dessert later, right?"

"Ah."

"The Navy Department certainly doesn't need machine gunners that much, right? Even if they do, they're certainly not that important, right?"

"what."

"Then I must hurry up and transform, otherwise I'll end up being a useless person over there!"

Xia Shu thought for a moment and then asked, "Didn't you say you would find a way to send you to military school?"

"I know. But it's always better to be prepared. Isn't that right?"

Natsuki nodded.

Xiao Le wanted to continue speaking when an examiner came over and read out, "25, 26. Enter the room."

Xia Shu quickly stood up and walked towards the interview room in front.

The assessment for promotion from corporal to sergeant has an additional interview item.

Because not all corporals are eligible to take the sergeant assessment, they must be eliminated through interviews in advance.

It is a bit too ruthless to just let the machine eliminate them directly, and although some corporals lack qualifications, their strength is enough to take the sergeant assessment.

Therefore, the interviewer has the final say on whether to allow the corporal to participate in the assessment.

Xia Shu and another corporal girl in the waiting area walked into the room together. There were two interview rooms on the left and right. They entered the room according to their test numbers.

In the center of the room was a chair with a table in front of it and three officers sitting behind it.

The officer on the far left saw Xia Shu come in, pointed to a chair, and said, "Sit down."

Xia Shu walked to the front of the chair, saluted them, and then sat down on the chair with an upright posture.

The major in the middle smiled at Xia Shu and said, "Xia Shu, right? Don't be nervous. This is just a routine interview, just be yourself."

The captain next to him added, "Yes, we understand your level. We will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Xia Shu felt something was not right, but nodded doubtfully.

The major flipped through Xia Shu's resume in front of him and asked absentmindedly, "Why don't you go to the sniper examination room instead of coming to our side?"

Xia Shu had heard this question many times, but she never tired of answering, "In my eyes, the battle situation faced by a sniper is only one part of the overall battlefield. I hope to compete on more and wider battlefields. And the position of deputy commander is the non-commissioned officer position that I believe can best see the entire battlefield."

Hearing such a serious answer, the major was stunned. It seemed that Wan Wan had not expected Xia Shu to treat this interview so seriously.

The captain next to him coughed awkwardly, then said to Xia Shu, "Um...we were just asking casually. You don't have to take it so seriously, really..."

Xia Shu became increasingly confused, so he asked, "Isn't it said that this interview determines the qualifications for participating in the assessment?"

The captain, hearing Natsuki's question, replied somewhat sheepishly, "Well... that's true... but it also depends on who the other party is..."

"Ahem." The major coughed, reminding the captain. The captain immediately realized that some things should not be said too clearly, so he quickly stopped talking.

Since Xia Shu takes this interview so seriously, the examiners can't be too casual, right?

The major then carefully looked over Xia Shu's resume and continued, "So, Miss Corporal, how many independent combat operations have you led since joining the army?"

"So many times, I can't remember." Xia Shu answered seriously.

"Are there any combat experiences that you are particularly satisfied with?"

"Have."

"Which time?"

"A separate combat operation conducted in the harbor of Cote."

When the captain heard what Xia Shu said, his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Oh, oh, it's the battle with Little Jack! I saw that..."

"Ahem." The major cleared his throat again, signaling her to calm down and not act like a star-chasing little girl.

Then he turned to Xia Shu and said, "Do you think you were lacking in any way during this battle?"

Xia Shu thought about it carefully and replied, "Perhaps it would have been better to seek support from nearby friendly forces. But the situation was urgent at that time, and the support from teammates might not have arrived in time. Besides, I have enough confidence in my own skills."

The major nodded and praised, "He has on-the-spot judgment and is able to make the most appropriate decision based on the situation. Excellent."

He frowned again, looking at her resume and said, "But your combat record mostly shows you operating alone. This doesn't quite align with the deputy commander's combat philosophy."

451. On the surface, he is serious and shrewd, but in fact he is very cunning.

The captain standing by was a little surprised when he heard what the interviewer said.
