It's better to conquer them than to command the steel torrent

Chapter 19｜Innate Medical Body
"By the way, Commander Shang, in addition to communication skills, we recently discovered that they have another little skill." Lin Rujun suddenly thought of something.

"Little skill?"

"Yes, they can tell if someone is lying or not."

Shang Ke nodded and said, "Experienced agents and police officers actually have this ability. But it's not bad."

Lin Ruojun smoothed her hair and explained, "They're quite useful during impromptu battlefield interrogations. They're very good at identifying lies, and they rarely make mistakes."

The two of them warmed themselves by the fire for a while to dispel the cold, and then headed to the next venue.

The training location of the third company was not in the wild. The two drove around half a circle and came to the west side of the base. There were several barracks here, and the house numbers indicated that they were the first aid training grounds.

Each barracks is divided into several rooms. The instructor is a lieutenant or captain military doctor, and the female cadets are attending classes.

Outside the last room, Shang Ke and Lin Rujun stopped.

The former saw the practical exercises going on inside through the window and turned to ask, "What are the healing abilities like?"

Lin Ruojun raised a hand and pointed at her arm, answering, "First, it stops the bleeding. It's very effective for venous bleeding. Arterial bleeding... you should know how dangerous it is, right?"

"Of course, the bleeding is large, jet-like, and difficult to contain, so it usually requires the use of hemostatic forceps or hemostatic clips." This is the basic characteristic of arterial bleeding, and Shang Ke just read it out.

"Well, with the correct pressure and bandaging, they can even control arterial bleeding. They can also prevent wound infection. Even with large, exposed wounds, the incidence of bacterial infection is low. It's amazing."

"What if the whole body is burned?"

Lin Ruojun frowned upon hearing this. She hesitated and said, "There are very few samples of this extreme case right now, but even if it's this serious, the infection rate is only half."

Sani Iron Tower! Has he really become a natural-born medical soldier?
"Too strong." Shang Ke only said three words.

"There's something even more amazing."

A voice came from the side, and Tang Xingyuan was seen walking slowly from behind with his hands behind his back. The two of them saluted quickly.

Tang Xingyuan smiled slightly and said, "This is a positive application of the ability. If used in reverse... they can suppress the immune system's excitement, reduce inflammatory reactions, and reduce pain."

Then he added rigorously, "Of course, this should be done in moderation. If you suppress it too much, it can kill people."

Today's biology is relatively primitive, and people's research on their own immune system is still very superficial. They only roughly know that the painful inflammatory response is related to excessive stress of the immune system.

"I'm curious about the mechanism of action of this." Shang Ke said thoughtfully.

"Mechanism of action?" Tang Xingyuan said leisurely with a smile on his face, "That's a headache for physicists and biologists. You have to know that our understanding of the human body is still very rudimentary."

In fact, when positive healing power is applied to the human body, it has a significant activation effect on sixteen coagulation factors and prothrombin in seven categories.

In summary, the positively adapted metal for healing ability is silver, and the negatively adapted metal is mercury.

Afterwards, Shang Ke and Lin Rujun left the warm room and headed to the outdoor training ground again in the wind and snow.

Compared with the previous companies that were all female students, the Fourth Company seemed particularly special on the surface - this company finally had some male students.

On paper, this ability is called super-speed reflexes. They possess extremely fast reaction speeds several times faster than ordinary people, and the manifestation is similar to the bullet time in later film and television dramas. Shang Ke asked with interest, "How fast can it be?"

Lin Ruojun replied, "When they concentrate, their subjective reaction speed is about six to seven times faster than that of normal young people, generally around 40 to 50 milliseconds; their subconscious reaction speed is also at least three times faster."

Interesting! Wouldn't it be easy to win a first-person shooter game in the future with such terrifying reaction speed? Shang Ke thought.

Retracting the irrelevant association, he felt that a soldier with this ability should be very suitable to perform CQC and CQB missions as a commando, or be an excellent sniper.

From a biological perspective, the speed of human nerve conduction is about 100 meters per second. After a signal is sent from the brain, it takes about 30 to 40 milliseconds to run back and forth. This is the theoretical limit.

For normal people, the speed of conscious reactions, which require brain processing, is generally 200 to 300 milliseconds; the speed of unconscious reactions, such as knee-jerk reactions, is about 50 milliseconds.

Shang Ke was very excited and asked, "Sister Lin, what is the reverse effect of this?"

"It's not clear yet. We haven't figured it out yet."

"Ok."

Soon, he witnessed the routine training of the Fourth Company through the artillery mirror.

The trainees were not allowed to fire their submachine guns in bursts, only short bursts of two rounds. With the instructor's command, in the blink of an eye, all ten human targets, fifty meters apart, were knocked down.

There is also a 600-meter rapid-fire course, where four human-shaped targets will suddenly stand up and move in a random order, and the trainees must use a bolt-action rifle to knock them all down. The passing score is six and a half seconds.

After a quick tour and combining it with the explanations in the paper documents, Shang Ke basically understood the situation of the so-called supernatural power force.

Overall, the most powerful ability of an individual in combat is undoubtedly super-fast reaction, but the upper limit of teamwork is still perception and communication.

The 77th Field Surveying and Mapping Battalion has trained more than a thousand people since its establishment five years ago. According to existing statistical rules, energetic young people aged 16 to 26 are the most suitable screening group, mainly women, with an average proportion of %. The proportion of men is even lower, and almost all men have super-fast reaction capabilities.

The first type of ability: using gold activation as the positive direction to sense vital signs; using lead activation as the negative direction to conceal and shield vital signs.

The second type of ability: Copper activation is positive, allowing long-distance mental communication; iron activation is negative, blocking and interfering with mental communication.

The third type of ability: silver activation is positive, rescuing and healing trauma; mercury activation is negative, suppressing the immune system to a certain extent.

The fourth type of ability: with aluminum activation as the positive direction, the reaction speed is significantly improved; the reverse performance is not yet clear.

Shang Ke put his hands on his hips and commented, "From this perspective, a large population is a good thing. This type of population is much greater than in other countries."

"Indeed." Lin Ruojun nodded lightly in confirmation and said confidently, "There are 700 million people in my country. I can probably find 140,000 suitable girls. The population of the other states is not small either."

The combined forces of Japan, North Korea, and Ryukyu should not be underestimated. A rough estimate is that 20,000 people can be screened out.

In contrast, although Annan was also dependent on the Grand Union Federation, it still maintained a certain degree of independence and resisted being incorporated into the federation.

"It won't be easy to recruit young women into the army on a large scale as the situation becomes more publicized." Lin Rujun sighed, then urged, "Captain Shang, you said earlier that there was a way to resolve the internal strife. Please don't forget."

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Shang Ke gave her a meaningful look.
