Chapter 9: The New Life (II)
"It's ......"
Robin awoke from this hallucination, and he looked in the mirror in horror, only to realize that his cheeks were only slightly flushed.
Robin looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief, and from time to time his mind recalled the hallucinations he had just seen. The changes were etched in his mind, allowing him to remember every detail clearly.
"The ripple vibration of the muscles and fat just now dissolves the pressure caused by the beating......"
Almost as soon as the thought crossed Robin's mind, Robin saw a slight wriggling of his facial muscles in the mirror.
“……”
Robin thought it was his own delusion, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously. And when he opened his eyes and looked in the mirror again, he had returned to normal in the mirror, as if it was really just his delusion.
However, he tried to recall the clip again, but to his surprise, his facial muscles squirmed again in the mirror, and this time, thanks to his careful attention, he could see very clearly that it was definitely not a hallucination of his making.
"Can I control some of my body's muscles?"
Robin finally realized the difference he had made when he mutated, at least until he mutated, and he couldn't make his face ripple as he wanted.
And in addition to the facial muscles, Robin found in the subsequent verification that he can control every muscle in his body without making any movements, which is definitely something that ordinary people can't do.
"I didn't become an orangutan, but I became a comedian?"
Seeing the face in the mirror rippling in circles under his control, Robin almost felt the urge to cry.
"Forget it, it's better than having a degenerate Chengren ape with long hair all over its body." Robin laughed bitterly and laughed at himself, and left the testing room and walked towards the power room.
In the power room, Lee wore only a tight-fitting tactical vest and sweated on the strength equipment.
And when Robin walked into the power room, he suddenly felt that the air was stagnant, and his body seemed to be filled with lead.
He looked up at the electronic screen in the power room and found that the scale on it was 1, which means that the gravity in the power room is twice the gravity of the earth at this moment.
Adjusting gravity is a common method for human beings to exercise strength in the new era, and this all-round weight bearing is more effective than exercising local strength, and it is also more conducive to breaking through one's own limits, opening the genetic lock, and advancing the strength to a higher stage.
Robin also received regular exercises in this area during the training camp, so he quickly adapted to the gravity in the power room.
At present, due to the existence of combat orders, most of the troops have been transferred to the front line, which makes it difficult for many people to use the power room, except for Lee, there are only a few people. Compared with these soldiers of the logistics department who are just here to move their muscles and bones, Li Li, who is full of muscles and tight muscles, and holds a pair of 800-kilogram large barbells for bench press, is undoubtedly particularly eye-catching.
And Robin couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the bench press weight Lee used in double gravity. He originally thought that Li's strength was at most similar to his own, but now it seems that this gap is definitely not a little bit and a half.
At double gravity, Robin's bench press weight is only about 300 kilograms, while Lee can easily push 800 kilograms, which proves that Li already has at least second-order strength and is not far from breaking through.
Walking to Lee's side in surprise, Robin pinched Lee's hard biceps muscles as hard as steel, and asked enviously: "Your strength is so great, how do you practice this?" ”
"Just like that."
Li let out a rough gasp, threw down the heavy barbell in his hand, and wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead: "How are you?" What's the catch? ”
"Don't mention it." Robin sighed, he wanted to tell Li about his unexpected discovery, but after thinking about it, he still planned to hide it first, so he said dejectedly: "Compared with before, first-order computing power has been developed. ”
"Computing power?" Li's eyes lit up: "This is a big gain." ”
"Big catch?" Robin really didn't understand why Lee used that word to describe his seemingly frustrating ability.
"Of course, I also have a first-order computing power. For a sniper like me, this ability is a treasure. Li rubbed his hands, picked up another pair of dumbbells, and practiced with a snort.
"Yes, for you as a sniper, this ability is really useful." Robin remembered that there was an ability called Eagle Eye in the ability list, which required the basic requirements of third-order computing ability and third-order perception, and also required additional auxiliary ability vision enhancement, and only by meeting these three conditions could this sniper's ace ability be generated.
Auxiliary abilities are another type of ability development that is different from basic abilities, which is also a self-mutation caused by genetic mutations after humans come to the space environment. At present, the most common are vision, hearing, and smell, but compared with the eight basic abilities, this kind of strengthening of local organs of the body is undoubtedly very rare, so there are countless people who can meet the third-order computing ability and third-order perception, but at the same time can meet the additional condition of vision enhancement, but there are very few people.
Li saw Robin's thoughtful expression and knew what he was thinking, so he said proudly, "Hehe...... You don't know, I'm born with enhanced vision. Therefore, as long as I can meet the basic conditions of third-order computing power and third-order perception, there is a good chance that Hawkeye will be generated. ”
“……”
Hearing Lee's triumphant words, Robin couldn't help but feel a little mixed in his heart, on the one hand, he was happy that his friend had a bright future, and on the other hand, he was a little envious and jealous.
"When you become a general, don't forget to promote me to be your orderly." Robin teased Lee, who took off his coat and warmed up with dumbbells before starting strength training.
Maybe it was because he was stimulated by Lee, so Robin was extra focused on strength training, but soon, the hallucinations that penetrated deep into his body began to appear again.
This time, what Robin saw was the change in his arms and chest and back muscles as he carried weights. But what struck him especially was that he could clearly see the muscle fibers that make up the bulk of muscle tissue and how they produce force during exercise.
Muscle fibers are like steel cables that connect tendons and wrap around bones, and they contract to generate force. The amount of force produced is determined by the thickness and elasticity of the muscle fibers themselves, and the difference in this aspect also causes the difference in muscle strength of each person.
Robin is not a strength muscle by nature, his muscle fibers are sparse, and he has poor stretching and tenacity surnames. This led to Robin's congenital defects in strength, and the defects in strength directly led to speed barriers, so in the training camp, his instructor decided that he was a soldier with no development potential, and he was only worthy of retiring obediently after a few years in the third-rate army.
For this reason, Robin has specialized in ways to increase the strength of muscle fibers, but has not made much progress. But now, when he clearly saw the changes in his muscle fibers as he exercised, a whimsical idea that suddenly flashed through his mind suddenly lifted his spirits.
Muscle growth depends on how much nutrients are absorbed during exercise, during which muscle fibers contract to squeeze out impurities, while exercise causes a large amount of blood to rush to the moving area and flood the capillaries that connect muscle fibers. After the muscle fibers contract and excrete impurities, they will absorb the nutrients and energy provided by the blood to the muscle fibers in the next stretch, and this part of the absorbed nutrients and energy becomes the basis for the growth of muscle fibers.
Robin's weak strength is due to his thin muscle fibers and poor stretching, which causes his muscle fibers to be unable to absorb the large amount of nutrients provided to him by the blood during exercise, so his muscle strengthening rate is quite slow. To solve this problem, it is necessary to solve the problem of muscle fiber absorption and nutrient disorder. Only by starting from the root cause can we completely cure his congenital defects.
Under Robin's closer observation, he found that when he exercised, countless black impurities would be expelled from the muscle fibers, and some globular substances would adhere to the muscle fibers and be slowly absorbed by them. It's just that this speed is quite slow, and he didn't absorb much until Robin practiced bench press until he ran out of energy.
But the overall workout is not good, so what if you only exercise one muscle fiber?
This is the thought that suddenly flashed in Robin's mind, relying on his ability to control local muscle movements now, as long as he senses the muscle fibers finely and calculates the maximum movement frequency of the muscle fibers through computing power, then Robin can completely get rid of the shackles of physical strength and body, and exercise a muscle fiber to the maximum.
Thinking of this, Robin immediately put down the barbell and started his own attempt.
Under his full infusion, he really gained control of a muscle fiber, and began to make this muscle fiber perform high-speed oscillating contractions without breaking.
Suddenly, an astonishing scene happened, only to see countless globulous substances densely covered on this muscle fiber, absorbed by it at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the growth of muscle fibers is also called a miracle speed, in just a moment, it has been twice as thick as the rest of the muscle fibers, and it looks stronger.
"It worked!"
Robin sighed with a sense of happiness falling from the sky as a huge surprise, but before he could rejoice at his discovery, the precision control and high-speed calculations drained his brain. I felt that the world suddenly turned in front of me, and Robin's eyes went dark again, and he fainted again in a daze.
"Hey! Robin, why are you dizzy again! ~”
Before fainting, Robin seemed to hear Lee's exclamations, but this time, he was full of happiness.
