At this time, the Arcturus space station is like a busy small city, with countless soldiers and scientists constantly shuttling between the relatively spacious interior streets. Dealing with the work at hand. This is the safest place for humanity in the galaxy, and no force in the galaxy can threaten this massive battle fortress until the Reapers' arrival.

Shen Chao, along with 200 other conscripts, went to the nearest ammunition depot to pick up weapons. This test. All received an M-8 Avenger rifle and a magazine for training ammunition. Although this training ammunition has a certain impact after being fired, it is not lethal at all to a person wearing full-body armor.

Shen Chao is now wearing a kind of light armor, which is very soft, and the protective area can cover the whole body. Can be pressurized. Comes with a standard shield generator. Although it is only the most basic type of armor in the fleet. But Shen Chao believed that this piece of armor would also be priceless when placed on the earth of the main plane. Because this armor is also a spacesuit.

It's not as bloated as a spacesuit on the main plane. The armor weighs no more than 5 kilograms, and the joints are very flexible, so it doesn't affect movement at all. Judging from the technology in this area alone, it is really a high breakthrough horizon. Although the material of the armor is soft, it instantly becomes as hard as a stone when impacted. Can help reduce the damage of mainstream Mass Effect firearms when hit.

In just 10 minutes, more than 200 people received their equipment and were ready to go. Baxter is happy with their efficiency. He took the conscripts directly back to the previous training room. At this point, a lot has changed here. More than a dozen sappers are building a temporary simulated test environment. A series of partitioned rooms were created using an easily disassembled synthetic panel. Needless to say, this is their test environment for a while.

Shen Chao observed it from the angle he could see. From the perspective of the phalanx of conscripts, the specific structure inside is not visible. But to say that there are no tactical traps inside? He didn't believe it. Since there are so many people to choose from, this building must have at least one heavy dà tactical trap.

Sure enough, as soon as he thought of this, Major Baxter announced the rules. All applicants are free to form a team, either individually or as a team. The maximum team size is 6 people. In the end, the 3 people who complete the test the fastest will be selected as the winners. As soon as the major finished speaking, a group of conscripts got busy. Everyone was busy putting up a team.

Shen Chao reacted, he knew where the trap of this building was. Because he encountered the same tactical trap when he was in the third echelon. And the fastest to finish the 3 people! This showed him the way. This test can only be taken by one person. Forming a team will only slow down the speed and even prevent the entire team from completing the final test!

It took 5 minutes for the vast majority of the applicants to form a line. This can also reflect the organizational level of Starlink. In just five minutes, these soldiers, who did not know each other, formed dozens of tactical squads with a clear division of labor. Only a few people chose a solo challenge like Shen Chao.

From this alone, it can also be seen that the level of organization of the Star Alliance Navy is high. Shen Chao was very sure that with the current level of equipment and equipment of these soldiers in front of him. As long as he has 10,000 such Star Alliance Navy soldiers, it will be enough for him to bulldoze all the armies in the world on the main plane. It's too powerful. Although the strength of the individual is much worse than his, the average of the soldiers of the Star Alliance is indeed very high, and most of them are well-trained. Fit in order.

Testing began quickly, and the first to go were in groups. The whole team came out crying and sad after not going in for a few minutes. This confirmed Shen Chao's speculation even more. There are speed-type traps inside. The classic 6-man squad 360-degree advance without dead ends has no future. …,

Seeing teams of people fail. Finally, the applicants in the back also reflected. New tactics were discussed. Soon there was a successful squad that tested all of them unharmed. It took 5 minutes and 34 seconds. Shen Chao compared the area of the training building and estimated that he should be able to complete it in 2 minutes. Thinking of this, he silently adjusted his state and prepared to play after entering the field.

Although Shen Chao has not fully excavated the physique accumulated from this body, this does not mean that he has not improved. Institutionally, he has reached a new level. Although his speed and strength needed to be further improved by his heavy training, he was quite sure that his nerve reflexes had caught up with Alice. That's what he came to yesterday when he was training at the range.

The M-8 Avenger assault rifle, with a rate of fire of up to 850 rounds per minute, looks fast when firing fully automatic, but as long as he concentrates, such a rate of fire looks almost as slow as a semi-automatic weapon. He finally understood why Alice was able to shoot at moving targets with such accuracy.

Because at their current speed of nerve reflexes, the vast majority of high-speed moving objects appear to be crawling as slowly. This is also one of the confidence of Shen Chao to dare to challenge this test alone. Although the tactical quality of the Starlink soldiers is relatively high, they can basically reach the level of professional armies on the main plane earth. However, in terms of average physique, it can only reach the level of most second-line special forces. There is a generation gap with him.

When it was finally his turn, there were only 3 or 40 people left. Shen Chao sorted out his equipment after Major Baxter's order. Then rushed into the test building after the timer began. This is a typical CQB test site, with fixed targets and automatic turrets that pop out of nowhere to fire training munitions.

These batteries should be the culprits of the first few squads to enter. Because their location is really painful. Side-shot and rear-firing firepower are available. The gathered squad had no chance of avoiding being killed by this fire. But such difficulties are not difficult for Shen Chao. He had encountered a lot of more painful CQB tests when he was in the third echelon. This level of testing is not difficult for him.

"Who's that?" At the top of the training room, Captain Anderson looked at Shen Chao's figure in the training room below and asked.

"A recruit, name: Shen Chao. A middle-aged captain next to him opened the universal tool on his arm, checked the list of applicants, and replied.

"Put him at the top of the list, I need him on my new ship." Anderson said in his characteristic deep tone.

"But, sir, he's just a rookie and has no real combat experience. I still have a lot of ...... here," the lieutenant colonel wondered. The reason why he allowed the recruits to participate in this recruitment was to let these new recruits who had just arrived have a clear understanding of their abilities and let them recognize the gap between themselves and the veterans. Make it easier for a few of the training instructors here. He didn't expect any of the recruits to actually pass the test arranged by Major Guò Baxter.

"Lieutenant Colonel, look at that man's movements, tell me what did you find?" Anderson asked, turning his head thoughtfully.

"His combat skills are indeed very proficient, and his speed is also very fast, he doesn't look like a recruit at all......" The lieutenant colonel looked at Shen Chao's watch xiàn and commented, carefully looked at Shen Chao's watch, and his tone became puzzled. If you think about it, it's hard for him to do better. No, it should be said that it is already difficult to be as good as that "recruit".

"It was a fighter who knew how to fight and definitely had a lot of combat experience. This file needs to be revised. Anderson commented, and then he left without looking back. …,

"Sir, doesn't that mean he's hiding his story from the recruitment form?" Shouldn't we look into it?" asked the Marine Lieutenant Colonel at the end.

"That's a Star Alliance soldier, it doesn't matter what he was before, what matters is that now, he's my soldier." Anderson finally turned his head and said a word, and then left the stands, he only needed a new recruit, or rather, his protégé Shepard, just a new Marine. Giving 3 spots was just an addition, and now it seems that he has found a rare fighter. His Normandy will soon have an extremely strong Marine Corps.

"Yes, sir," the lieutenant colonel saluted as he looked at Anderson's back. Immediately, Shen Chao's name was listed at the top of the list. At this time, Shen Chao had just finished the test for 1 minute and 32 seconds, which was a little slower than he imagined, after all, he was using a firearm that he was not familiar with. His control of the recoil of the gun was not yet at the best level. But he was sure that if he was given a few more days, he would be able to use the gun in his hand as well as he could use it.

Just as he was thinking this, Major Baxter answered a call with a multi-tool, and he tentatively scheduled the test and said a few words to the guy on the other end of the line. After he hung up the phone, he directly called Shen Chao to his side, announced that he had been selected by Captain Anderson, and asked him to immediately pack his luggage and report to Captain Anderson.

Two days later, at the Arcturus space station docking area 047. Shen Chao saw the Normandy through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, at this time he was wearing a black onyx heavy armor, holding a helmet, and carrying a large bag, this armor was the best armor he could buy here. It cost him 50,000 Star Coins. This is still the high-end equipment of Starlink. Only Starlink's special operations units are supplied for free.

Shen Chao stood and looked carefully at the Normandy outside the window. I don't think it's in the game, but in fact, the volume of Normandy is also quite large, and if you look at it up close, you can definitely catch up with the large destroyers on the earth. The length is at least 200 meters. The hull spits the words of the huge Normandy SR1. This ship is much more beautiful than it looks in the game.
