846: Chapter 837: Iron Will 846: Chapter 837: Iron Will Wolfgang said he wanted to examine Gao Yang by slicing, although it was not possible to actually slice him, a thorough physical examination was naturally unavoidable.
When a person demonstrates capabilities far beyond those of an ordinary person, there are only three possible explanations: first, this person possesses a unique physical structure; second, this person has undergone training; third, this person’s physical fitness is extraordinarily strong, and they have also received professional training.
Wolfgang had to know why Gao Yang had greater endurance than others.
If it was because of innate talent, then it meant nothing.
Geniuses were special because they could not be mass-produced.
However, if Gao Yang’s physical condition was not exceptionally strong, then it was necessary to study what kind of training Gao Yang had undergone.
Gao Yang was examined inside and out, thoroughly, and all this was completed while he was sound asleep.
When Lieutenant M stood in front of Wolfgang’s desk with the report, Wolfgang directly said, “Tell me the most crucial part.”
“Yes, General, the examination results prove that Ram’s physical fitness is slightly better than that of an average person, but only slightly.
His muscle type leans towards endurance, but not to an extraordinary extent.
Specifically, Ram’s cardiopulmonary function is very strong, reaching the level of a professional long-distance runner, and his blood oxygenation is a bit higher, about four percent above the normal value.
However, overall, in terms of physical fitness, Ram is not much stronger than our people.”
Wolfgang nodded and said, “That’s the result I wanted to hear.
Continue.”
Lieutenant M solemnly said, “Generally speaking, the black race from the East African highlands performs better in long-distance running, followed by the yellow race whose muscles contain more white fibers, suitable for aerobic exercises like long-distance running, but their explosive power is relatively weaker.”
Wolfgang sternly said, “So, are you saying that our people can’t run like him?”
Lieutenant M nodded and said, “Different muscle types are suited for different sports.
You must have noticed that Ram has a lean physique, well-proportioned, with very thin legs, but his exercise volume is not small.
Most of our people, however, appear to have stronger muscles.
Although our training also emphasizes aerobic exercises like long-distance running, we also focus on anaerobic exercises that enhance explosive strength, resulting in a more balanced performance in both explosiveness and endurance compared to Ram.”
Wolfgang said sternly, “Can’t be changed, can it?”
Lieutenant M shook his head and said, “Basically, it can’t be changed because of Ram’s experience.
He spent three years running ultra-long distances every day, which built his muscles and endurance.
Unless we also dedicate at least three years or more specifically to develop this ability like training athletes, it’s impossible to achieve.”
Wolfgang smiled and said, “Three years, let’s forget about it.”
At this point, Lieutenant M laughed and said, “There’s still something to be gained from Ram.
He exercises a lot, but the wear on his knees is very minimal, which has greatly concerned the doctors.”
Wolfgang asked sternly, “Why?”
“Because of his running technique.
When Ram runs, his knees bend very slightly.
Although the impact force is almost the same as our running style, the wear on the knee cartilage is reduced by at least forty to fifty percent.”
Wolfgang laughed and said, “His legs hardly bend when he runs, but doesn’t that affect his hip joints?”
“It does, but the wear is minimal, within a completely manageable range, just about the same as a normal person with a high volume of exercise.
Ram’s running motion is very strange.
After analyzing video recordings, doctors have stated it’s the perfect long-distance running technique, reducing wear on all joints to the lowest level.”
Wolfgang stood up and said, “This is very valuable.
Show me the report.
It’s actually easy to understand.
Ram lived for a long time in a Primitive Tribe that relied on long-distance running to obtain food.
Running is their most basic survival skill, so they would naturally develop this skill to its optimum.
So, what’s the downside?
If a technique has outstanding advantages, it can’t be without disadvantages.”
Lieutenant M laughed and said, “The downside is quite obvious: he runs very slowly.”
Wolfgang burst out laughing and said, “I forgot about that.
Ram can indeed run for a long time, but his speed leaves much to be desired.
Otherwise, he could have gone to the Olympics and won the marathon gold.”
Lieutenant M laughed and said, “Exactly, he can run but don’t expect him to win any competition.
Whenever he runs habitually, he inevitably runs slowly, and whether it’s a 10,000-meter race or a marathon, it ultimately comes down to speed.”
Wolfgang nodded and said, “So, can we conclude now that with long-term training, a proper and scientific running method, plus a little bit of racial talent, one can achieve Gao Yang’s level?”
Lieutenant M gently shook his head and said, “Unfortunately, it still can’t be done.
Even with the same conditions as Ram, it’s normal to achieve half of his ability.
Of course, that’s already beyond what a normal person can achieve.
Reaching two-thirds of Ram’s performance would be an outstanding achievement.
Perhaps with the same conditions, a very few might be able to do it.”
Wolfgang frowned and asked, “Why?
You said his physical quality isn’t much stronger than others.
What did the doctors say?”
Lieutenant M sighed and said, “The reason this report has been delayed is that the doctors can’t provide a clear conclusion.
They can’t scientifically explain all this, at least that’s what the doctors say.
They can’t figure out why Ram can achieve what seems impossible until Major Nate provided a conclusion, and only after the doctors couldn’t find a more rational explanation, did they accept Major Nate’s theory and finally issued the report.”
Wolfgang flipped to the last page and saw the conclusion reached by the doctors.
Iron-willed determination!
Iron-willed determination, this was precisely the key factor that enabled Gao Yang to accomplish what ordinary people could not.
Wolfgang sighed and said, “Well, willpower, iron-willed determination, Major Nate gave a very high evaluation, but I agree with him, I never thought Ram possessed this quality.”
Willpower, unlike physical strength, is not something that can be trained.
After sighing, Wolfgang continued, “So, let’s talk about Ram’s shooting, what was the conclusion on his final shooting?”
Lieutenant M hesitated for a moment and then said, “Based on the content of the exercise, he definitely could not have completed the entire exercise, he would have been killed upon entering the room, but speaking strictly about his shooting, all twelve instructors gave him a six.”
Wolfgang frowned and said, “Six points, surpassing perfection, not bad, he deserves this evaluation.”
Lieutenant M gave a wry smile and said, “I never thought a mercenary could reach this level, it’s unreasonable.
What does he believe in?
Why does he fight?
He’s clearly just a mercenary, not fighting for his country or family.
If it were for money, how could he possess a heart of steel?
And I think miracles belong only to those who have faith.”
Wolfgang sighed and said, “Don’t ask me, I don’t know why he fights either, but he definitely has a goal he’s striving for, we just don’t know what it is.”
After speaking, Wolfgang gave a wry smile and said, “In that case, in terms of shooting, Ram wouldn’t be able to provide us much help.”
Lieutenant M also gave a wry smile and said, “There’s really nothing we can do about that, it’s purely a matter of talent; otherwise, Nate and the others wouldn’t have given a six.
Since Ram exceeded the normal range of shooting abilities, they could only give a score beyond the normal range.”
With a perfect score of five, it was natural to give Gao Yang a six for his shooting abilities.
After pondering for a moment, Wolfgang said sternly, “File his records and preserve them permanently!”
Lieutenant M was shocked and said, “Create a file for him?
But it’s because Ram couldn’t be filed that Nate and the others gave such high scores.
If we create a file, then our base will only have one person with a record of surpassing perfection.
Is that okay?”
Wolfgang exhaled and said, “Create the file!
Raise the security level, and erase Ram’s history, give him a confidential code from our base.
For any sniper or sharpshooter who gets too curious, let them see Ram’s file.
Regardless, Ram was trained at this base, and he only received training here, so he deserves to have a record!”
Lieutenant M stood at attention and said, “Yes, create a file for Ram!”
Wolfgang nodded and asked, “Is the next training plan ready?”
Lieutenant M spoke loudly, “It’s ready.
Ram is still in the recovery phase, so he can only participate in low-intensity training with the Wasp Group.
Over the next four days, they have twelve exercises, after which, they will undergo helicopter rappel training.”
Wolfgang said solemnly, “They can’t train for rappelling inside the base, take them to Destin’s training field.
Have the helicopters been coordinated?”
“They have been coordinated.
We’ve obtained approval for a temporary flight route from the Air Force Command.
However, Ram requested that their pilot, Eileen, fly the helicopter.”
“Grant his request, but she can only be the co-pilot.
Of course, Eileen can handle all the controls.”
“General, there is another matter that needs your personal approval and involvement.
The Wasp Group hopes to perform high-altitude parachute jumps from a fixed-wing aircraft after all the helicopter airdrop training is complete.”
Wolfgang waved his hand and said, “Approve it.
I’ll deal with the Air Force.
Send them to the 55th Parachute Brigade for training, let them train with our people.”
Lieutenant M hesitated and said, “Is that okay with the Air Force?”
Wolfgang smiled and said, “It’s fine, I will notify them of Ram and his team’s identity.
With a preliminary record at the Ministry of Defense and the training framed as high-level interchange, the Air Force Command will definitely agree.
As for the 55th Brigade, could they refuse?
If the 55th Brigade refuses, then they can forget about sending their reconnaissance troops here for exchange training.
And if it comes to it, we can simply go to another parachute unit for airborne training; it’s not like the 55th Brigade is the only one with planes.”
