Chapter Seventy-Four: The Scum of Combat Strength 1
"His performance is very good, although he is still the last one to finish in every training session." Zhang Yang shrugged.
"Oh? Aren't you disappointed in his appearance? β
Erskine glanced at Zhang Yang with interest.
"Disappointed? No, no, no, if the instructor is disappointed in a soldier, then it can only mean that the instructor's skills are not enough, a disdainful look, a bad word, may be able to destroy a soldier's heart. β
This sentence obviously made Erskine a little surprised, and he looked at Zhang Yang again with a peculiar gaze and said: "Captain Zhang Yang, your statement is rare, I believe you will be a good instructor, Steve may be the greatest luck in his life under your management." You know, no one else has said yes to Steve other than you, and of course Ms. Carter isn't in that range. β
Hearing Abraham Erskine's evaluation of himself, Zhang Yang smiled slightly bitterly in his heart, thinking that Steve's greatest luck in this life is not to meet himself, but to meet you.
Without Erskine, Captain America might have appeared a little later, but not necessarily Steve. It can be said that Erskine's choice changed Steve's life.
However, Zhang Yang did not say these things, but gave a very pertinent evaluation of Steve's appearance, of course, there was also a bit of partiality: "Actually, what I value Steve most is not that he has any special strengths or advantages, but that I appreciate his character." An indomitable little man like him is often able to break through the world. β
"And."
Zhang Yang glanced at Erskine: "Steve's own appearance is not as bad as before, it is useless. I asked him to participate in today's drill, and in a moment we can see his table. β
"I'm looking forward to it."
Erskine nodded, but still a little depressed. Zhang Yang didn't seem to have much in common with the next selection topic, which made Erskine a little unhappy.
How to say that he is also the chief scientist of the dignified research department, and he single-handedly promoted the progress of the super soldier plan, and at this moment, he has reminded Zhang Yang without a trace that Steve is likely to be the final candidate next, I thought that Zhang Yang would be very curious and took the initiative to ask about the relevant situation. It is convenient for Erskine to bring Zhang Yang over. Who would have thought that Zhang Yang had such a calm expression?
"Could it be that the news has leaked? No, apart from Colonel Phillips and Agent Carter, few people should know that I chose Steve. β
Erskine was confused. No matter how he guessed, he couldn't have imagined that Zhang Yang already knew the whole story.
And Zhang Yang's previous expressions made Erskine have a strong interest in Zhang Yang, and called up the details of the other party. Zhang Yang's two-year experience in the European theater is very detailed. There was not the slightest place for writers, which made Erskine move the idea of pulling Zhang Yang into the queue of planners.
Since the team on the mission had already entered the mountain in advance, the other soldiers of the base then spread out, and the defense line was arranged to the edge of the entire exercise site to prevent anyone from entering the area by mistake. And Zhang Yang didn't have anything to do at the moment, so he stayed here and chatted with Erskine with a match.
In the end, Erskine couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in speaking: "Zhang Yang, do you know why I chose Steve? β
Zhang Yang put on a surprised expression just right: "Steve? Could it be that the final candidate has already been decided? Isn't it still being chosen? β
Zhang Yang had no intention of exposing himself. In order not to startle the snake, it is better to keep a low profile in other aspects. Perhaps Erskine could sense that he was lying. But there are some things that don't need to be said, just know it in everyone's hearts.
Sure enough, Erskine glanced at Zhang Yang deeply, as if he didn't expect Zhang Yang to be so cautious, and shook his head helplessly: "Steve is just my personal recommendation, and he has not yet entered the stage of final decision, mainly because Colonel Phillips refuses to agree." Captain Zhang Yang, do you know why I chose Steve? β
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about that." Zhang Yang continued to play stupid.
Erskine didn't doubt this, because not only Zhang Yang, but even Phillips was a little surprised by the reason why he chose Steve, the reason was that Steve's personality was kind and steady!
"I said I had a crush on Steve's character, do you think it's a bit ridiculous?" Erskine sighed and said to himself, "Have you ever heard of the theory that a barrel determines that the volume of water it ultimately holds is not the longest plank, but the shortest. β
The barrel theory is no stranger to Zhang Zhang, and then nodding, Erskine looked at the soldiers who were busy around, as if a wise man was looking at the ants with pity. said: "The next information is confidential, you just know it yourself, don't tell it." β
Zhang Yang nodded, knowing that he was finally going to get in touch with the core part of this plan.
Erskine held out a finger: "To understand the reason, then you must first understand the purpose of this plan." That's right, in order to create a group of super soldiers with a physique beyond ordinary people, so as to increase the bargaining chips for the Allies to win. This is the ultimate goal of this plan, but according to my research, the Super Soldier Serum is not a panacea, and his enhancement program has an upper limit of storage. Regardless of the user's physique, the final reinforcement result cannot exceed this upper limit. β
"Strengthened caps? Isn't there a way to break it? Zhang Yang's face became solemn, it was the first time he had heard of this situation, and he thought that the strengthening of serum was different from person to person.
"Maybe there's a way to break it, but it's not going to work yet, at least I haven't found a way to break it." Erskine shook his head: "Let's assume that the standard physical fitness of a normal person is 2., and the upper limit of the enhancement of the serum is 6 times that of the normal human physique, then that is, no matter who uses this serum, the maximum value can only reach 12." β
"This 12 is a relatively fixed number, Ben Frank's physical fitness can be rated between 3 and 3.5, even if he strengthens again, the highest can only reach 12, and the same, compared to Steve, who is more thin and thin than ordinary people, the physical fitness assessment is temporarily set to 1, which is lower than the normal person's 2, so after the serum is successfully strengthened, Steve can also reach the height of 12."
Zhang Yang somewhat understood what Erskine meant, and wondered: "You mean, whether it is Steve or other more powerful soldiers, the final reinforcement result is the same?" β
"It can also be understood in this way, but 12 is only a theoretical upper limit of strengthening, and it does not mean that this Cheng dΓΉ can be reached every time, the result of serum strengthening is related to the individual's willpower, and those who are too poor may only be able to support it until 7 points, while those with strong willpower and a firm mind can reach 10, or 11, which is closest to the upper limit of Cheng dΓΉ."
When Erskine said this, his face had become very stern, and his voice was full of a thick sense of warning, obviously the process of strengthening the serum was not so simple, but paved with human lives and blood.
It's like a group of people vying for a throne that represents the highest power, the rules are not limited by origin, whether you were a commoner or a slave, a nobleman or a general, you are eligible to participate in the exhibition, and everyone can sit in that position. But the final result depends on the course of the battle, with two or three kittens on one side with sticks and shovels in their hands, and on the other side there is a heavily armed heavy cavalry, and the final battle is beyond doubt.
But it is also possible that the heavy cavalry were all infected with the plague, and perhaps they could no longer hold on before the horses under them trampled the enemy into pulp.
A group of peasants can successfully revolt, and a group of slaves can also overthrow a powerful dynasty.
As one of the chosen protagonists, Steve Rogers himself is very thin, inferior to ordinary people, but he is such a sick man, but he has a firm will and heart, while other strong and healthy people are very fragile in their hearts, and the final result is very likely that Steve will win.
And Erskine made an addition and subtraction for Zhang Yang, a soldier with a combat strength of 1 and a combat strength of 5 can reach 12 after strengthening, but there is only one chance, so who will be more suitable to choose?
The answer is 1.
Many people may be puzzled, but Erskine explains this sentence with the principle of cutting it short.
"If a soldier with combat strength 5 is strengthened to 12, and 1 can add up to 13 combat effectiveness, and if it is strengthened by 1, then the final result becomes 12 + 5 = 17. In the case of the same end point, the lower the starting condition, the more vivid the final value table is xiΓ n. β
Erskine drew a few numbers, so that Zhang Yang intuitively understood what he was going to say, and then spoke: "And Steve is not only the 1, but also a firm but not stubborn, kind but not stupid person, so he is the most suitable person for this time!" β
"If it were someone else, the power space that could be increased would be very limited, and it would be better to let Steve strengthen the benefits more."
It is true that, as Erskine mentioned, the lower the starting point, the more obvious the increase in Cheng dΓΉ, and the more the overall combat effectiveness increases. But it is clear that Phillips seems to have other views on this point, and that the final candidate has not yet been decided.
If you let the soldiers in those bases know that there is no shadow of them in the name of the final candidate from beginning to end, I don't know if it will collapse on the spot. (To be continued......)
