Upon seeing these, He Qinzhou knew that the Northern Theater Command's garrison was approaching.
"This is one of our Northern Theater Command's inland bases, but the base here in Jiangbei Province has the highest level of secrecy. Dad asked you to come here, probably to show his trust in you."
Xu Mengzhu sat close to He Qinzhou, and as she spoke, she lowered her head shyly.
Wei Zheng glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a faint smile, "Brother He is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and its people, which is why we are doing this for him. We naturally trust his character."
He Qinzhou suddenly remembered that when they last met, Xu Bowen seemed to have mentioned proposing to the leader of the Dragon Alliance to hold an exchange meeting between the Southern and Northern Theater Commands.
Immediately, he asked with a puzzled look, "Uncle Xu seemed to have mentioned holding an exchange meeting last time, what happened?"
Xu Mengzhu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know, but I heard from Dad that there seems to be something important to announce today?"
At this point, she suddenly lowered her head and began to blush shyly.
He Qinzhou nodded thoughtfully, "For Uncle Xu to call this important news, it must mean that our exchange match with the Southern Theater Command has yielded results, right?"
"Brother He is indeed clever."
Wei Zheng praised him with a face full of emotion.
The war zone jeep continued its journey, traversing rugged and muddy mountain roads. Xiao Junlin finally understood why soldiers in both the northern and southern war zones relied on jeeps for transportation.
The mountain road is really difficult to travel!
After the jeep drove for about half an hour, a towering wall came into view before the three of them.
This wall, at first glance, appears to be over thirty meters high, stretching across the mountains and extending for an unknown distance.
At least He Qinzhou could only see the front of the car; the rest was blocked by the towering trees next to it.
Only a faint trace of the wall's distinctive grayish-white color could be seen, and it stretched far into the distance, almost without end...
On the side of the wall facing the road, there was a huge archway. He Qinzhou only glanced at it and knew that the wall was at least five meters thick!
"Holy crap, this is so grand. Wouldn't it be easy to see from a satellite?"
Wei Zheng earnestly answered his questions.
He Qinzhou naturally knew this, but he simply wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
After passing the checkpoint, He Qinzhou felt that the view in front of him suddenly opened up. Rows of two- or three-story buildings stood side by side. All the base buildings were built against the wall, and there was a huge open space in the middle!
There are many fitness and training equipment scattered around the open space.
In the very center of the open space stood a flagpole, with the national flag of the Dragon Kingdom fluttering in the wind.
Countless soldiers from the Northern Theater Command are training facing southeast.
Agile and powerful.
Chapter 309: Testing Strength
Hearing He Qinzhou's simple question, Wei Zheng still answered him honestly.
"Of course not. We've interfered with electromagnetic signals here. Even our own satellites can't capture images of the internal environment, let alone other countries."
"Unless a spy infiltrated, no... no, even if they took photos, they wouldn't be able to get anything out of them. Apart from specially modified electronic equipment, everything else here is just for show."
Upon hearing this, He Qinzhou took out his phone.
Sure enough, it really can't even turn on!
Restrict the use of all electronic devices...
This isn't signal interference at all; this is clearly cutting-edge technology!
Wei Zheng was very satisfied with He Qinzhou's shock. He drove the jeep to a three-story building in the southeast corner of the base, parked the car, and then took He Qinzhou and Xu Mengzhu upstairs.
"Sir, we are here."
As soon as they went upstairs, they saw Xu Bowen standing in the corner of the room.
At this moment, he was staring intently at an unknown instrument in front of him, which was constantly displaying various values.
Directly in front of the instrument stood a soldier from the Northern Theater Command.
"Uncle Xu."
"father!"
He Qinzhou and Xu Mengzhu called out "Xu Bowen" in unison.
The group walked over and stood silently behind Xu Bowen, their curious eyes scanning the surroundings.
The room's decor was so sloppy that it could only be described as shabby.
However, the equipment inside gives people a strong sense of technology.
This combination of classic and technological elements... is filled with a strong sense of incongruity.
"You're here. Wei Zheng, take them to sit over there for a while. I'll be there after I finish taking Xiao Gu's data."
Xu Bowen's gaze remained fixed on the machine in front of him, and he gave an order without turning his head.
"Yes, my lord."
As Wei Zheng spoke, he prepared to lead the two away.
However, Xu Mengzhu was not happy about it.
You should know that although she is the daughter of the God of War of the North and the little princess of the Northern War Zone.
But this was actually her first time visiting this place, so she was naturally very curious about everything here.
Now that she has a rare opportunity to investigate, how could she just leave like that?
"Dad, what's this thing in front of you for?"
Wei Zheng looked troubled, but Xu Mengzhu ignored him and walked directly to Xu Bowen's side, asking curiously.
"This is a machine that monitors the real-time speed and strength of test personnel. It is currently in the testing phase. Once the test is passed, it can be deployed to the entire war zone, allowing soldiers to see their weaknesses and then choose training directions in a targeted manner."
Xu Bowen offered a brief explanation.
He Qinzhou walked over, seemingly lost in thought.
The test results came back shortly afterward.
The individual combat power data of the warrior whom Xu Bowen called Xiao Gu was now clearly displayed in front of them.
Average running speed: 11m/s
[Maximum burst speed: 15m/s]
Average strength: 665kg
[Maximum explosive power: 1220kg]
He Qinzhou stared blankly at the data displayed on the dashboard...
WTF?
Average speed 11 meters per second, maximum burst speed 15 meters per second?
This is too outrageous!
"Are all the soldiers in the Northern Theater of War this skilled? They're so fierce!"
He Qinzhou forcibly suppressed his shock and asked.
"Of course not. Brother Gu is a Xuan-level general in our Northern Theater Command. His stats are definitely higher than those of the other soldiers."
Upon hearing this, He Qinzhou suddenly realized, "So it's a divine general..."
No wonder he's so strong...
He Qinzhou suddenly wondered what level his physical abilities had reached, given that he was able to exchange a few blows with Xuanwu.
"Uncle Xu, can I try it too?"
"If you have an idea, just do it," He Qinzhou asked Xu Bowen.
"try what?"
Xu Bowen, who was recording values on a document, frowned and looked up upon hearing this, asking in surprise, "You mean this instrument? You also want to test speed and strength?"
"Correct."
He Qinzhou nodded.
"Then go in."
Xu Bowen didn't object at all, and simply gestured with his chin towards the front of the instrument, "Later you'll go into that enclosure, and then run and pull the rings according to the instrument's prompts."
He Qinzhou followed the instructions and indeed found a treadmill and two rings hanging in mid-air. "That's all?"
Seeing how simple and straightforward this operation was, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Can you test your true combat power data by running on a treadmill and pulling on the rings?
seriously?
Despite his inner complaints, He Qinzhou followed Wei Zheng's instructions, slipping the pull rings onto his hands and stepping onto the treadmill to start running...
Only a few minutes had passed, but even with his physique, he was already panting heavily.
He had only one thought in his mind: Exhausted!
It's more tiring than fighting all night with all his women!
"Beep detection complete."
An electronic alert came from the device, and Wei Zheng quickly came over to help He Qinzhou slow down, then took off the pull ring from his hand.
He Qinzhou rushed to the instrument, only to find everyone staring at him as if they'd seen a ghost...
"what happened?"
He Qinzhou turned his head to look at the instrument panel.
Average running speed: 10.78m/s
[Maximum burst speed: 13.5m/s]
Average strength: 540kg
[Maximum explosive power: 1000kg]
"Fuck..."
Upon seeing these figures, He Qinzhou couldn't help but swear.
Excluding other factors, if we only look at this number, his strength is almost the same as that of a Xuan-level Divine General!
"Brother He, are you really just a businessman?"
Wei Zheng had been inside accompanying He Qinzhou the whole time, so he was naturally unaware of the situation outside.
But when he saw this data, he was so shocked that he clenched his pants.
They all underwent rigorous training day and night to achieve their current combat effectiveness...
How could Qinzhou... an ordinary merchant who had not undergone any specialized training, have already been able to catch up with them?
It’s so off the mark!
"Are you sure you didn't enlist? Or are you actually a top general from another war zone who secretly infiltrated Kyoto?"
Wei Zheng asked in a low voice.
He Qinzhou knew that his ability to possess such strength was entirely due to the system's secret assistance.
He naturally wouldn't say such a thing aloud, and could only helplessly say, "It's absolutely true, it's probably just my extraordinary talent..."
The Xuanzi Divine General stared wide-eyed, indicating his disbelief at the result. "Is it possible that this machine... suddenly broke down?"
However, Xu Bowen burst into laughter, "Hahaha, good lad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
He Qinzhou has already developed such excellent physical qualities without undergoing systematic training.
If training begins, wouldn't his combat strength increase rapidly?
Chapter 310: Sparring with Gu Manli
"Brother He, Brother Gu seems to be quite unconvinced by you. Why don't you spar with him?"
Wei Zheng patted the God of War of the Xuan character on the shoulder and winked at He Qinzhou.
