On the morning of May 5, 1971, after the roll call, the six of us moved into an independent enclosed dormitory with simple luggage.

The four of us boys were placed in a dormitory.

The two girls were placed in another dormitory.

After we put our luggage, we went to take the test.

Throughout the morning, we were tested for limb responses, balance, transient memory, hearing, vision, and smell.

In the morning test, limb response and balance tests are performed in a comprehensive testing system.

This comprehensive test system consists of a test system with a walking platform, a suspended suspension bridge, and a swimming pool under the suspension bridge.

The high platform and suspension bridge are seven or eight meters high from the pool water!

There are no handrails on the drawbridge, just horizontal strips of wood tied to two large ropes!

The suspension bridge spans the pool and is fixed to the raised platforms on both sides of the pool!

Our test mission is to climb from the ground to the high platform, from the high platform, through the suspension bridge to another high platform, and then climb back to the ground from this high platform.

Really, I feel that this high-altitude walking system is much more difficult to walk than the high-altitude single-plank bridge when we were training in the military heart of Guigu Gorge! Because the bridge deck here is shaking, and it hangs low in the middle, and the ends are raised!

However, I was the first to sign up for the test!

I climbed up the platform, and then, stepping onto the suspension bridge, I felt the bridge swaying from side to side!

I immediately lowered my body, balanced myself, and jumped to the middle of the drawbridge!

At this time, the suspension bridge was even lower, and I had to lie on the suspension bridge and climb up!

Annoyingly, there are often interference orbs flying towards me in the air!

After dodging the impact of the sphere a few times, I climbed onto another high platform!

Then, through the vertical ladder of the high platform, climb back to the ground.

After my demonstration, Xiaoda passed the test for the second time.

The third person to go up the bridge was Dr. Wei, although when he reached the middle of the suspension bridge, he cried loudly!

But, after shouting some slogan himself, he rushed to the drawbridge!

Thanks to his physical dexterity, he still passed without any problems!

The fourth one on the bridge was Niu Shilong, who fell from the bridge to the pool once because he was fat, but in the end, he still passed.

Li Ping and Liu Fang climbed the high platform at the same time, and after the two of them arrived on the high platform, they hugged and cried bitterly!

After they shouted a few slogans to strengthen their courage, Li Ping first passed the suspension bridge according to my method!

After that, Liu Fang also walked through the terrifying suspension bridge!

After the six of us passed the above test, we entered other laboratories to conduct hearing, vision, and smell tests.

Since, Niu Shilong, Dr. Wei, Li Ping and Liu Fang did not pass the transient memory test in yesterday's test, they have to make up the test.

The instructor said that this instantaneous memory test is relatively simple, alas, it means to let them pass!

The auditory test is conducted in a soundproof booth and we are asked to listen to a sound first. Then, blindfold the test subject, create a variety of noise environments, and let the test subject discern the direction, distance, and direction of movement of the sound.

In the visual test, the test subject looks at a picture that flies quickly in front of them, and returns to it with those colors, descriptions of the picture scenes, Chinese characters and numbers on it!

Olfactory test, there are 20 bottles of volatile liquids with similar odor and the same appearance. The test subject is blindfolded, and the instructor asks the test subject to sniff three of them. It is then mixed with other liquid bottles, and the subject is asked to find the three that they have just sniffed through their sense of smell.

All six of us passed these tests, and that was the end of the morning test!

Throughout the afternoon, we were tested for pain tolerance, cold tolerance, heat tolerance, and apnea.

Pain tolerance test, wearing a bioelectric wave sensor. Five needle prick tests are performed on different parts of the subject's body; Perform five fifteen-second shock tests. No, you can quit halfway.

Xiaoda and I know that in ancient times, prisoners were tortured with unbearable pain, so patience with pain is the basic quality of agents!

Temperature resistance test, carried out in an air-conditioned room. Cold resistance test, single clothes and pants in the low temperature of minus 15 degrees, insist on 15 minutes, can not quit halfway; Heat resistance test, single clothes and pants in the high temperature of 42 degrees, insist on 15 minutes, can not quit halfway.

The apnea test, which is carried out in the swimming pool, is apnea for diving, and the commander records the time of persistence.

In the above test, in order to create a terrifying atmosphere, the instructor always asked the person he thought was bad to go first!

In this way, the two girls always take the lead!

During the pain tolerance test, we waited for the experiment outside, and there were very horrible screams indoors!

In the end, Li Ping and Liu Fang, whose faces were pale and sweating profusely, were carried out by the instructors and sent to the lounge!

The same goes for the little and fat people when it's their turn to take the pain test!

Finally, it was my turn to do a pain test with Xiaoda, and I took Xiaoda's hand and signaled him not to scream, and he nodded!

In fact, the pain test is that the instructor uses a sterilized needle to prick the tester's thigh and arm!

Also, it is the experience of receiving a high-voltage electric shock on an electric chair.

During the test, Xiao Da and I held back the screams with an emphasis on control!

However, our bodies are still shaking involuntarily, and the heart-rending pain makes us sweat profusely!

After the test, the instructor untied us from the electric chair and we quickly regained consciousness and were able to stand and walk on our own, much to the surprise of the instructors!

After a half-hour rest, the temperature resistance test is carried out.

The instructor said that if you feel unwell, come out by yourself, and don't hard top!

The six of us entered that air-conditioned room at the same time.

After a few of us sat down, the indoor temperature began to slowly drop from normal to minus fifteen degrees Celsius, and the timer began to be displayed! Five minutes after arriving, I was basically unable to sit still.

The fat man is a native of the northern desert, he has experience in living in the cold zone, and he let us get up and move and run!

Fifteen minutes had passed, and the temperature was slowly returning to normal.

After fifteen minutes of normal temperature, the temperature began to slowly rise to a high temperature of forty-five degrees, and Xiaoda and I sat down on the floor from the stool, meditated cross-legged and breathed quietly.

Here's how we southerners avoid heat stroke in the scorching heat!

And they did.

Except for the fat man, who had some slight heat stroke, everyone else was fine!

Therefore, all six of us passed the temperature resistance test!

Apnea test, in the pool, diving is carried out. The instructor explained some of the essentials of holding your breath in the water, and then, after letting us practice once or twice. It started to happen, and it turned out that me, Xiaoda and the little man persisted for a longer time, and the fat man and the two girls lasted a little shorter. However, everyone has passed!

After the test that afternoon, the instructor told us that we should have a bigger meal at dinner, let us eat more, and start the 72-hour hunger and thirst tolerance test tomorrow morning!

There was meat for dinner that day, and a few more steamed buns were added.

The fat man ate his portion in one fell swoop!

Xiaoda and I had a small amount of food, so we each put three steamed buns in our pockets!

Xiaoda said with a smile: "With three steamed buns, I'm not afraid to do it for ten days!" ”

I said, "It's a fake!" If you get caught, you'll lose all your efforts! ”

Xiaoda said: "Hide in your underwear when the time comes!" They can't find out! ”

That night, I discussed it with Xiaoda!

On the first day of the starvation experiment, sleep all day, preferably until dawn the next day!

If you're hungry the next day, eat a steamed bun!

On the third day, if there are two steamed buns, you can do anything!

So, we squeezed the steamed buns into several small pieces and put them in the small pockets of our underwear!

When we're done, we're going to sleep!

......

At 8 a.m. on May 6, we were taken into the hunger testing chamber without eating.

It is a very spacious place with a lot of cubicles where one person can sleep without a door.

There are clocks and calendars, mats and pillows in the compartments.

During the test, each person was able to get 500 ml of drinking water per day!

There are public toilets where you can go to the hand room, and there are people who specialize in rinsing!

There are two patrol officers observing our situation around the clock.

Xiaoda and I went into our compartment and fell asleep!

In the past two days, we have really tossed the instructors tired, so we just used this time to catch up on sleep!

......

We didn't know how long we slept and all of a sudden, we were greeted with a wave of "Give me steamed buns!" Give me steamed buns! The horror cries woke up!

Xiao Da walked to the door of my cubicle and said with a smile, "Get up and move!" Now, it's past 1 p.m. on May 7th! It's been 29 hours! Another 33 hours! ”

So, after rehydrating a little, we went to the bathroom.

When we came back from the bathroom, when there were no patrol officers, Xiaoda and I secretly ate some steamed bread tablets!

Then, it was time to sleep again!

......

At 8 p.m. on May 8th, 60 hours after our hunger test, there was a deathly silence in the testing room!

At this time, we were really hungry!

So, we ate all the last steamed bread tablets and water!

Then, go back to sleep!

During this process, I only felt that someone was checking my breathing and pulse!

......

At 8 a.m. on May 9th, our hunger tolerance test was over!

In addition to Xiaoda and I being able to leave on our own, Dr. Wei, Niu Shilong, Li Ping and Liu Fang were all sent to the medical room by medical staff for intravenous injections of grape water and normal saline!

Xiaoda and I were taken to the cafeteria by the instructor to drink water and rice soup etc!

......

By noon, all six of us were back in strength.

The instructor said to us, "All right! Six students! Congratulations! You have passed all the test subjects! You are now regular students of the school! ”

After lunch, we tested the dorm, took a shower and changed our clothes, etc.

After that, we returned to our original dormitory with our luggage.

When we returned to our old dormitories, six of our new students who had passed the test were notified to their new classes.

Our class is Zhou Xiaoming's class.

When we entered the classroom, they had prepared six empty seats for us in advance, and Xiaoda and I sat together naturally.

On the podium of the classroom, there are three instructors, and a female teacher is our homeroom teacher, named Huo Xuemei, in her forties, wearing glasses, and looking very serious! a little old man in his fifties, he is Professor Lu Weiguo; A very fashionable male instructor in his thirties, named Song Xiaozu.

Instructor Huo said, "Students! Welcome to the new students! ”

The students applauded and welcomed us!

I saw that this class is very large, there are more than 60 people!

Instructor Huo said, "Students! The six new students are very good! They pass the school's mental ability, have physical limit ability tests, etc.! Now, the school has decided, from tomorrow! First-year students who have not taken this test will also be required to take all of these science tests! That way, a lot of you may be knocked out of the test and leave this school! If you don't want to leave this school, you have to do your best in the test! Do you understand? ”

That's what our first lesson at this school was all about.

However, when we joined the class, some of them were leaving!

After class, the rest of the students will go to the dormitory to prepare for tomorrow's test!

The three instructors also followed the students who took the test.

There are only six of us left in this big classroom!
