Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 513: Chapter 194: The First Human to Be Evaluated Alongside Firearms in a Military Assessment_5

”This... Alright!”

Zhang Beixing nodded in agreement and then followed Yang Ying to the testing site.

It was less a testing site and more like a vast firing range in the back mountains.

The range was enormous; despite being filled with various firearms, it didn’t feel crowded at all.

Gunshots echoed continuously.

Strolling through the firing range, Zhang Beixing noticed something: many of the displayed devices were things he had never even heard of.

These devices were exceedingly strange, connected to targets in the distance.

Zhang Beixing couldn’t help but take a closer look.

He saw someone holding a rifle, aiming at a specially made target in the distance, and pulling the trigger.

”BANG!”

With a muffled report, the bullet shot out, striking the target and instantly leaving a small bullet hole.

Simultaneously, the screen of a device next to the soldier flickered.

Before long, a string of text appeared on it.

[Name: Type 95-5 Automatic Rifle]

[Caliber: 5.8 mm]

[Total Weight: 3.56 kg]

[Overall Length: 768 mm]

[Rate of Fire: 800 RPM]

[Effective Range: 700 m]

[Bullet Drop Arc: ....]

[Compatible Accessories: ...]

[Overall Assessment: C+]

Seeing such data appear on the screen, Zhang Beixing was momentarily stunned.

”What is this thing?”

He looked at Yang Ying, utterly bewildered. What the hell is this? You fire one shot, and it’s like you’ve poked a damn cockroach nest—all this data just pops up! Rate of fire, bullet drop arc, and whatnot. What on earth is this contraption?

Zhang Beixing found himself completely unable to comprehend it.

Seeing his reaction, Yang Ying smiled faintly and patted the nearby device. ”As you can see, this is a high-tech instrument we use to assess weapon grades. It’s connected to our specially made targets. As soon as a weapon is fired and hits the target, we can monitor and calculate all its data in real-time. It’s a globally standardized military assessment device, though this particular model was independently developed by Great Xia.”

”It’s that incredible?!”

Zhang Beixing couldn’t help but sound like someone who hadn’t seen much of the world.

In all his life, this was the first time he’d ever heard of such a thing; it was truly an eye-opener.

No wonder the military always uses world-leading high technology. Unlike ordinary people like us, whose most advanced tech products are merely cast-offs from the military!

So envious!

Zhang Beixing sighed inwardly.

He then stood by and watched for a while.

He discovered that aside from basic target practice, the military conducted various other tests.

For instance, tank testing involved bombarding distant hilltops. Mortars, in turn, were conducting pinpoint bombardments on a special alloy designed for these tests. Thermite charges, shoulder-launched rocket launchers, and all sorts of military armaments were endlessly firing at designated targets, while the assessment instrument’s core continuously emitted BEEPS, refreshing the data.

Watching this baptism of shells and rain of bullets, Zhang Beixing was profoundly shocked.

Any lingering complacency he felt from his breakthrough to the Hidden Essence Realm vanished instantly without a trace.

He realized that, faced with such firepower, he had no means of resistance. Forget about confronting them head-on; if he were targeted and caught within their kill zone, escape would be impossible.

I still need to keep improving; I’m far from strong enough!

At the same time, a question arose in Zhang Beixing’s mind.

Besides these armaments, there were also numerous heavy-duty weapons on site, such as missiles and armed helicopters.

How were these tested?

”Brother Yang, these more powerful heavy weapons can’t really be tested here, can they?” Zhang Beixing voiced his doubt.

Hearing his words, Yang Ying, who seemed to have anticipated this, replied, ”Brother Zhang, you guessed correctly. At absolute best, here we can only test firearms, rockets, and similar munitions. As for the heavy weaponry you mentioned, we have other testing methods. Please, follow me!”

With that, Yang Ying led Zhang Beixing across the firing range and into a warehouse.

Though the warehouse looked unremarkable from the outside, it concealed an entire world within.

After Yang Ying entered, he performed some operation Zhang Beixing couldn’t discern.

Zhang Beixing then noticed the floor beneath him suddenly open, and an elevator rose up, its destination unknown.

Yang Ying walked up to the elevator.

An infrared scanner was visible on the elevator door.

After it scanned Yang Ying’s iris and fingerprints, and after he input a dynamically changing password, the elevator opened.

Only then did Yang Ying lead Zhang Beixing inside.

This whole sequence of operations left Zhang Beixing somewhat dumbfounded.

He had never dreamed that such a place could be hidden within this seemingly ordinary military sub-district!

Then what about our Shishi?

Zhang Beixing turned to look at Huo Honghao.

He noticed Huo Honghao had already turned his head away, avoiding eye contact.

His evasion strongly suggested a ”no three hundred taels of silver buried here” situation—a blatant attempt to hide something.

Zhang Beixing became thoughtful and didn’t press further.

After all, with matters like these, the less one knew, the better. If he learned too much and got dragged onto their ’pirate ship,’ escape would be impossible!

Amidst the group’s silence, the elevator descended.

It went down for nearly half a minute before finally stopping.

The elevator doors opened.

What met their eyes was a corridor forged from refined steel, seemingly impregnable, and positively radiating an aura of advanced technology.

As they walked into the corridor, a camera descended from the ceiling, its red light scanning Zhang Beixing from head to toe.
