This was the Storm Platoon training reef, so how could there not be any coastal defense underwater? Besides, the place they were going was the training room of the team.
Ye Jian stopped moving. She followed closely to Big Shark until they arrived at a natural cave about five meters away from the end of the reef.
Big Shark stepped on the reef full of snail shells, followed by Ye Jian, and then they walked into the cave. It was a bit like walking into the hinterland of the reef island.
When they walked in, Ye Jian realized that there was something mysterious inside. The entire cave was not formed. Naturally, it was built later on. The cave entrance was low, but the cave grew upwards. Standing in the cave, they could hear the sounds of splashing waves, but they couldn’t see any water at all.
“This is our training room. All the members will come here for hypoxia testing and training for a week.” Big Shark opened the stainless steel door, opened the main switch box, and signaled Ye Jian to come in, “Later, we’ll simulate an environment of oxygen concentration like the ones at high altitudes. Put on your helmet.”
Pointing to a transparent helmet that looked a bit like an astronaut’s helmet but with a long training cap that resembled a breathing tube in front of the mask, Big Shark signaled Ye Jian to put it on, “By reducing the oxygen in the air, we’ll first see if you are comfortable with low-concentration oxygen environment or not first. We’ll see if you’d have an extreme reaction.”
Having said that, Big Shark smiled and said: “But I think you won’t have any problems.” Her profile showed that she had been trained at highlands before, and she faced no problems at all. Therefore, this kind of low-concentration oxygen test definitely wouldn’t cause any trouble to her.
Ye Jian looked around…there were several auxiliary equipments that she had never seen before to perform the hypoxia tolerance test. She also knew that she would inevitably have to enter this hypoxia training room in the future.
The hypoxia test had already started when they were talking. Just as Big Shark said, Ye Jian, did not have any problems with the test at all. Big Whale recorded the results, and said to Big Shark: “The next test is ready.”
Big Shark nodded and said solemnly to Ye Jian, “As a frogman, one needs to be fully hypoxic underwater for five minutes to be considered qualified. If you feel any discomfort later on, directly gesture to us, we will follow the instructions on the instrument to ensure your safety.”
Big Whale had already taken out two special aids for ischemia and hypoxia resistance tests, tied them to both Ye Jian’s arms, and then set the instruments at a pressure of 220 mmHg to make Ye Jian’s upper limbs feel brief ischemia for a few minutes.
While taking off the respirator, Ye Jian, who was wearing the helmet, entered the complete vacuum environment, without any transition, she went directly into the anaerobic environment.
Two and a half minutes passed, Ye Jian’s expression was still regular. Sitting next to the monitor connected to the instrument to record various parameters, Big Whale’s eyes were wide open. He watched the values on the screen that was still green, and looked at the time again… Three minutes!
It was not that Ye Jian’s anaerobic test had been going on for three minutes. Instead, it was her collected data that had changed, but it had not reached its limit!
Ordinary people would be able to handle at most 1 to 2 minutes, but it had been three minutes, … They waited a little longer; if her results were still the same after four minutes, then she would be the best soldier in this batch of selected soldiers!
Someone opened the door and walked to Big Whale with a solemn expression and a faint excitement on his face, “How many minutes has it been?”
It was Li Jinnian’s voice.
“Three and a half minutes. The parameters have just begun to change.” Although Big Whale spoke softly, it was not difficult to hear the excitement in his voice, “Devil King, I bet Ye Jian can definitely hold on for more than four minutes!”
