Chapter 2 Take the entrance test and officially become an agent!
Early in the morning of February 7, 1970, we woke up with an alarm clock.
After we got up and washed, we were called to the playground by one of the guards, and we went out with the guards in our military coats.
When we arrived at the playground, there were already two or three hundred freshmen like us gathered in the cold wind, and we found the position of the queue according to the name of the instructor. After the instructor sorted out the formation for us, a middle-aged female instructor spoke in front of our queue.
The instructor said, "Freshmen! My name is Han Xunmei! From now on, everyone will call me Principal Han! This is the Secret Service Headquarters School, and being an agent is a noble and very rewarding profession! Today, if you pass our physical examination and test, and go through the enrollment procedures, you will become a member of our secret service organization! If, who do not pass the medical examination and test, we will return them to their place of origin as soon as possible! ā
After Principal Han finished speaking, the queue was disbanded.
They didn't let us eat breakfast and we were taken straight to the medical check-up.
We were taken to the school's health center, where the instructor explained the contents of the medical examination to us, and then we were divided into groups to participate in the medical examination.
The process of physical examination is similar to the general entry physical examination procedure, which is to take pictures, record fingerprints, and measure height, weight, tendon response, vision, color discrimination, hearing, smell, bounce force, heart rate, chest X-ray, blood routine test, etc.
It took us a morning, but all five of us who came here passed it.
However, more than 100 people who participated in the medical examination with us did not pass the medical examination and were returned to their hometowns by the school.
I think if they were orphans, what a misfortune! If they are children of a normal family, maybe that's a good thing!
The result of my physical examination is 1.68 meters tall, 45 kilograms in weight, and other indicators are excellent, I am very grateful to the orphanage for raising me carefully, so that I have such a good physical fitness!
Ah Hu is a little shorter than me, but heavier than me, because when he was in the orphanage, he often went to the cafeteria to steal food! Ah Bing, Ah Hui, Ah Rong and the other three are much shorter than Ah Hu, but everyone is qualified.
After the check-up, we had lunch and went back to the dormitory to rest.
......
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we, the freshmen who passed the physical examination, were taken by the instructor to an office building, where we were to undergo identity background checks, cultural background checks, routine memory, instantaneous memory, logical reasoning ability, unlock buckle, IQ, EQ and other tests.
In the context of identity and cultural background checks,
The instructor said, "I ask you to answer, or yes or no!" Do you understand? ā
I said, "Understood! ā
The instructor said, "Name? ā
I said, "Song Zilong! ā
The instructor said, "Are you an orphan?" ā
I said, "Yes!" ā
The instructor said, "Do you remember what happened at home before?" ā
I said, "I don't remember!" ā
The instructor said, "Are you literate?" ā
I said, "Yes! ā
Then, the instructor gave me a newspaper and told me to read one of the paragraphs. I read it to him fluently.
The instructor said, "Do you know arithmetic?" ā
I said, "Yes!" ā
The instructor immediately gave me a problem with an operation including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and I calculated it for him!
The instructor said, "What books have you read?" ā
I said, "There are more than 2,000 books in the orphanage, and I've read them all!" ā
The instructor said, "Do you know why people can hear voices? ā
I said, "Yes! Sound is a fluctuation in the air! When this fluctuation acts on a person's eardrum, the person can hear the sound! āć
The instructor said, "Do you know, what is an oxidation reaction? ā
I said, "Yes! Substances exposed to the air have a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air! These oxidized substances are often metals, and the metal atoms lose their surface electrons and oxidize under the action of oxygen atoms! They combine to form metal oxides! ā
The instructor said, "Do you know the blood circulation of the human body? ā
I said, "Yes! Blood circulation is through cardiac pacing, the oxygen and nutrients in the blood are transported to all parts of the body through the arteries and blood vessels, and at the same time, the blood that has lost oxygen and nutrients is brought back to the heart, lungs and intestines through the venous blood vessels to replenish oxygen and nutrients and then transported through the arteries. And waste products in the blood are excreted in the urine! ā
The instructor said, "Do you know why people look similar to their parents? ā
I said, "Yes! This is genetic, and it is called GE in English
eļ¼ Genes give living beings not only the physiognomy of their parents, but all the physical characteristics of their parents, as well as their thoughts and behaviors! ā
The instructor said, "Very good! Your surroundings and cultural background have passed the test! ā
In the routine and transient memory tests, the instructor first asked me to recite to him three Tang poems that I had read, and I memorized them all to him.
Then, he showed me a piece of paper with a string of 30 Arabic numerals written on it, let me read it and memorize it, and after he took back the note, he asked me to write it out immediately, and I wrote all this string of data correctly!
The instructor gave us two drawings that were almost identical, and after I showed them, he told them the differences. I've hit them all!
As for logical reasoning ability, unlocking buckles, IQ, EQ and other items here, in the orphanage, when we were making games, the teachers often played with us, so we got high marks for these tests!
At 6 p.m., when our testing was over, there were only thirty-eight freshmen left, and everyone else was eliminated! Of the thirty-eight, including five of us, we were the youngest, and the others were generally three to four years older than us.
We were organized into a class with the code name IC008 (I
te
atio
al Class 001) is the meaning of the eighth class of the international class. The instructor said that if we have excellent results in study and training in the future, we will be sent to work overseas!
After dinner, the instructors assigned the 38 members of the IC008 class to a new dormitory, of which 19 were boys and 19 were girls, and the five of us were scattered and assigned to the boys' dormitory.
The instructors distributed bedding, daily necessities, two sets of autumn and winter uniforms, underwear, shoes and socks, and hats. We each moved these things to our dorms.
In our dormitory, the boys' dormitory is usually occupied by six people. The dormitory I live in is relatively large, it is a seven-person room, and I live with Ah Hu and five strange boys, all five of whom are northerners.
After everyone made their beds and daily necessities, the people of our dormitory got together to introduce each other and elect a room head, who would be responsible for the housekeeping of the dormitory.
Through the introduction, we know the situation of the five of them.
Among them, a classmate named Zhou Wensheng, 12 years old, from a normal family, and his parents are officials. He's as tall as me, but bigger than me. He was very good at talking, so everyone chose him as the head of the room.
One is named Kang Baoguo, 11 years old, from a normal family, and his parents are officials. He was shorter than me, but stronger than me. He looks very shrewd!
One is Gu Shunmin, 10 years old, an orphan, much shorter than me, and relatively thin! He said that the food in their orphanage was not good! The food here is very good, and in the future, he will definitely grow taller!
One is named Ma Zhengyi, 10 years old, his parents are university professors, and he is relatively thin! With a pair of glasses, like a little intellectual!
One is named Xia Feiyan, 9 years old, his parents are workers, and he is tall and strong! Very cheerful personality and loves to laugh!
We stayed busy until the lights out alarm went off, when we were all done and then went to bed.
Before going to bed, I was thinking, life is always like this, and when there is no preparation, it begins! Just when you want to continue with your previous lifestyle, it suddenly stops! I have been living passively, following fate and other people's arrangements! I thought, when I get out of here, I must take control of my own destiny and organize my life and my whole life!
......
At 8 a.m. on February 8, 38 of us were taken to a classroom by an instructor. We were already seated in the classroom. I'm in the back rows, and I'm at the same table as Hu.
One of our desks is lined with textbooks and study stationery. There is also a reading room and a large number of books and materials in the classroom.
After everyone entered the classroom and sat down, four male instructors in their thirties and forties entered.
When the instructors entered the classroom, we all stood up and shouted, "Instructor! Good morning! ā
The instructors said in unison, "Hello students! Sit down! ā
Everyone sat down neatly.
One of the instructors said, "Students! I am the homeroom teacher of your international class 8, my name is Zhu Mingde! You will be studying and training here for four years! The content of your study and training includes three aspects: on the one hand, the study of basic science and culture courses; On the one hand, there is physical training; On the one hand, there is special skills training for special agents.

One of the instructors said, "Students! My name is Guo Zhizhi! It's your science and culture instructors!

Instructor Zhu Mingde said: "Students! In the future, this classroom will be your fixed self-study location! The instructor will also be here to answer your questions and give you guidance! Our school is huge, with more than 3,000 students and more than 1,000 faculty members! There are special teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, and various training bases! In the future, you will be in those places where your lectures, experiments and training will take place! Now, I will hand you out your student ID cards, student status cards, class schedules, etc.! From today onwards, you will have to organize your own studies, experiments, training, etc.! As long as you complete the credits or reach the Excellent! You can get out of here early and go back to society! Otherwise, you'll continue to be honed here! ā
After the instructors finished their speeches, they handed out student IDs, student status cards, and class schedules. There is information such as personal photo, name and student registration number on the student ID card, my student registration number is IC0088, and Ah Hu's student registration number is IC0089.
They also gave us meal cards, shopping vouchers, and bathhouse tickets, etc., and it was completely closed, and our daily life was confined to this campus, and the world outside the walls had nothing to do with us!
After our first class, the instructors let us visit the campus by ourselves, and follow the curriculum to get acquainted with the base where we listened, experimented, and participated in training, and tomorrow we will start to study and train here.
After me, Song Zihu, Song Xiaobing, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong and other five people packed up their personal belongings, we went to visit the campus together.
Through a morning visit, we basically got acquainted with the places where we listened to lectures, did experiments, and participated in training, and visited classrooms, laboratories and training bases, which can only be carried out through student ID cards and student status cards, and must be registered in advance to participate in learning, training and assessment.
At noon, the five of us went back to the cafeteria near the dormitory building for lunch.
After lunch, the five of us went back to the study hall to discuss how to study and train. We saw other students also discussing this matter here, because it was really too cold outside to minus ten degrees!
The five of us sat around in one corner of the room and began to discuss.
Ah Hu said: "Alas! I think reading is the hardest part! I don't think it's very difficult in other subjects! āć
A Bing said: "Brother Tiger! It's hard to learn! This is a prison! We need to get out of here soon! For this, I am willing to endure hardships every day! ā
I said, "So be it! In order to get out of here as soon as possible, we have to study and train two lines at the same time! I looked at the class schedule, the cultural classes are all started in the morning, and the training subjects are started in the afternoon or evening! Therefore, from tomorrow, we will sign up for all subjects in the culture class! A combination of lectures and self-study! The five of us work in a study group, and we all study and discuss problems together! The training subjects first sign up for physical training subjects, and then participate in special skills training for agents! We aim to complete the credits in three years! ā
Ah Hui smiled and said, "Okay! With the arrangement of Brother Lone Dragon, there must be no problem! ā
Ah Rong said: "Brothers! There's still time! Sign up now! Otherwise, we won't have anything to do tomorrow! ā
Everyone laughed!
So, we packed up our things and went to the Academic Affairs Office of the Cultural Section of the Teaching Building to report, and then went to the Training Management Office of the Physical Training Base to report.
After these things were done, it was time for dinner, and we ate at the nearby cafeteria!
After dinner, we all went to the classroom to prepare for tomorrow's science and culture lessons, as well as the upcoming training subject tutorials. Each of the textbooks and textbooks we have studied and trained for four years has one set in the classroom, and there are dozens to hundreds of books in each set! Of course, the instructor said that the school also has a library, and we can go there to borrow books to read.
And just like that, our study, training, and life at the Secret Service School began!
