The 100-meter rapid-fire shooting event includes multiple categories: solo, duo, and even an entire combat team's rapid-fire shooting.
Currently, Jiang Yanhao and his team are competing in the solo category.
Unlike fixed-target shooting, rapid-fire shooting requires changing a magazine once and hitting all targets, which are automatically popping up, including both moving and stationary targets.
There is no limit to how many bullets you can use for each target; you just need to knock it down.
Of course, using more bullets will lower your overall score and increase your time, but it doesn't mean a single shot is always the best approach.
Standing at the entrance, Jiang Yanhao took a deep breath, then suddenly shouted, "Start!"
The moment his words fell, Jiang Yanhao, like a pouncing cheetah, lunged into the training ground.
Almost as soon as he entered, the first gunshot rang out directly. With a "bang," a hole instantly appeared in the head of the first target, and the entire target fell backward.
The moment Jiang Yanhao charged forward, Gong Jian's pupils suddenly constricted, because Gong Jian, who came from the special forces, instantly recognized it.
The assault technique Jiang Yanhao used was actually the most common assault technique in the special forces! Efficient! Concise! But it demands extremely high individual physical fitness and shooting skills!
However, a rhythmic succession of "bang" "bang" gunshots rang out almost continuously, all single shots, and every bullet hit the bullseye of the half-body human target's head!
"Click!" The moment Jiang Yanhao performed a tactical roll, he actually completed the required magazine change!
When he rolled back up, the firearm in his hand was already ready to fire again, and the next bullet was almost out of the barrel the instant the target popped up!
"Bang!" The moment the last target was knocked down, Gong Jian almost instinctively pressed the stopwatch in his hand.
"31.22 seconds!" When Gong Jian announced this result, his lips couldn't help but tremble slightly!
Because this score, while not the best in the special forces, wasn't the worst either!
The most terrifying thing was that all the targets popped back into place, and everyone saw clearly that every half-body human target was hit precisely in the center of the forehead, without exception.
You have to understand that 100-meter rapid-fire shooting doesn't require you to hit any specific spot!
And all targets were hit with single shots! No target was shot twice!
This result was undeniable. Not to mention the few soldiers participating in the assessment, even the company commanders and political instructors, including senior sergeants like Old Hei, were stunned.
This was truly unbelievable. You're telling me this is a new recruit?
If you were to announce this score and tell people it was a new recruit's achievement, you'd probably get beaten to death!
And the surrounding soldiers, after Jiang Yanhao finished and Gong Jian announced the score, couldn't help but cheer loudly!
True strength earns everyone's respect! Because this was truly awesome!
In the barracks, there's no such thing as hiding one's capabilities; it's all about the strong being revered and power being king!
"How did you do that? The shooting movements and so on, you haven't learned these yet, have you?" Gong Jian couldn't help but ask.
Everyone else also turned their gaze to him. After all, it seemed too astonishing. This was a new recruit! A new recruit!
If a new recruit is like this, how are the veterans supposed to live?!
"It's very simple," Jiang Yanhao said, and those familiar four words came out of his mouth again.
"I watched videos, broke down all the movements, memorized the timing, techniques, and firing opportunities for each action, and as long as I analyzed it, I could do it."
Hearing those four words, "It's very simple," Gong Jian felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth, even though he had only heard them for the second time.
But he really wanted to hit someone!
Gong Jian didn't ask for more details. All of Jiang Yanhao's experiences, identity, and background information were with him, and the political vetting had long been completed.
His identity and everything else were without any issues, so there was no need to doubt these things; some matters needed to be understood privately.
Having completed the 100-meter rapid-fire shooting in this manner, there was no need to mention the subsequent fixed-target shooting.
Jiang Yanhao's shooting scores were all 10 rings!
Without exception! Such shooting results, even the ace sharpshooters of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company, might not be this strong.
This was already self-evident; one could tell by the expressions on the faces of the other soldiers who also participated in the assessment.
If someone is a little stronger than you, you might not be convinced, but when someone is much stronger than you, there is only admiration, even if the other person is just a new recruit.
Wang Yanbing and He Chenguang had already gained such recognition in their respective platoons and squads over the past month, and Jiang Yanhao achieved it in just one day!
The assessment results were announced in front of everyone, so Jiang Yanhao naturally had no problems and directly joined the Sharpshooter Fourth Company.
When Gong Jian announced this result, the mechanical voice of the Red Star Engine sounded in Jiang Yanhao's mind.
"Mission: Join Sharpshooter Fourth Company completed. Reward: Physical fitness +20, Neural reaction +20, Special skill x1. Detected that new recruit Jiang Yanhao joined Sharpshooter Fourth Company with the top assessment score, exceeding mission requirements. Reward: Electronic Information Warfare Assistance Program activated, B-level Computer Hacker Technology knowledge."
Jiang Yanhao couldn't help but look surprised. "Holy cow, there's hacker technology too? And it has levels?"
"What? Surprised?" Gong Jian asked with a smile.
"Uh, a little," Jiang Yanhao quickly replied.
Just now, Gong Jian had assigned Jiang Yanhao directly to Old Hei's squad, which meant he was in the same squad as He Chenguang.
Of course, Jiang Yanhao definitely wouldn't tell the truth.
"Jiang Yanhao," Gong Jian said with a smile.
At this moment, there was no one else around; all the companies had gone to train, including the Fourth Company, leaving only Gong Jian and Jiang Yanhao here.
"Here!" Jiang Yanhao quickly stood at attention.
"Alright, relax a bit, just casual conversation. So, your joining the Fourth Company is settled. As for those rumors, you probably don't care, but there's one thing I'd like to know.
Your current performance clearly isn't something that can be trained in a day or two. What exactly happened during your new recruit training?"
As an instructor and political cadre, chatting and counseling soldiers was one of Gong Jian's duties.
So, the question wasn't abrupt, but Jiang Yanhao fell silent for a moment, mainly because he didn't know what to say.
He had no close relatives; the old principal who adopted him was still alive and well, and the principal's family was doing fine now, so Jiang Yanhao didn't need to worry about anything.
As for other matters, Jiang Yanhao, as an orphan, couldn't have contacted the outside world during his new recruit training without the military having records, could he?
So, he couldn't even find an excuse, which made Jiang Yanhao momentarily silent.
"Alright, Jiang Yanhao, as your instructor, I should understand your psychological state.
However, the army now emphasizes humanized management, especially the psychological state of soldiers, so if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to; it's fine," Gong Jian said with a smile.
Actually, there's nothing I can't say." Jiang Yanhao was silent for a moment, then found an excuse that probably wasn't really an excuse.
"Then tell me." Gong Jian said immediately.
He paid close attention to Jiang Yanhao because Jiang Yanhao's education, intelligence, and current achievements all proved that his future was limitless. The military would never neglect such a talent.
"Maybe I was being a bit dramatic. You know I've been through a lot, and I'm not bragging, but I have a high IQ, so I tend to overthink things. Maybe it was during recruit training, there were some minor squabbles among the recruits, and I felt it wasn't what I imagined military life to be like. I felt a bit lost."
"And Instructor, you know that the military isn't something you can just join and leave whenever you want. During that time, I kept thinking if I should be doing scientific research or something similar, perhaps it would suit me better. I was just a bit lost, because… I'm not bragging, but I feel like I can do well at anything I put my mind to." Jiang Yanhao scratched his head deliberately, speaking with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Gong Jian immediately understood. The current recruits were already born in the 2000s, and these kids were much more complex than the recruits of yesteryear. While 'scheming' might be an exaggeration, wherever there are people, there are bound to be conflicts, even among veteran soldiers.
So Gong Jian immediately understood that perhaps Jiang Yanhao's extreme reaction was due to these reasons.
"Then how did you figure it out later?" Gong Jian smiled and didn't elaborate, because he knew that for some recruits, you might need to explain and encourage them, but for someone like Jiang Yanhao, no explanation was needed.
Because if someone like Jiang Yanhao hadn't figured it out, he wouldn't be here.
"Actually, Instructor, I'm a very simple person. If you've investigated my college life, you should know that my social circle is very small. I don't really like to scheme against people, which is why I thought the military would suit me. And during the time I was assigned to the farm, even though I had almost zero communication with Squad Leader Liu and the comrades around me, I could feel their concern."
Jiang Yanhao said with a smile. Jiang Yanhao wasn't lying about this; a true lie is nine parts truth and one part falsehood.
"Although we were raising pigs there, it was actually a simpler place. Of course, I think Squad Leader Liu took such good care of me probably because someone put in a good word for me."
Jiang Yanhao didn't shy away from saying some things directly. Gong Jian was also a smart person, so there was no need to be evasive.
"But even if someone put in a good word, Squad Leader Liu and the others might have been following orders, but their concern for me was not fake. I am very grateful. That's when I pretty much figured it out: in this world, you can't control what others think; you just have to do your best."
Jiang Yanhao wasn't lying. During that time, Jiang Yanhao seemed quite terrifying to others, completely like someone who had despaired of the world. In fact, he was indeed in that state during that period.
Therefore, Squad Leader Liu and those comrades truly cared about him, it was just that Jiang Yanhao gave them very little response, and they often didn't dare to communicate too much with him.
"It's good that you've come to terms with it." Gong Jian sighed inwardly, then reached out and patted Jiang Yanhao's shoulder. Jiang Yanhao's intelligence was beyond doubt. It seemed that geniuses were indeed different from ordinary people. Once he figured things out, he didn't need anyone else to tell him anything; he could solve everything himself.
"Alright, I'm giving you half a day off today. Get some rest." Gong Jian said with a smile.
Jiang Yanhao nodded. This matter was over, and the rest would come later. However, Jiang Yanhao still had many unanswered questions, but the Red Star Auxiliary Engine completely ignored him, and everything needed to be explored by himself.
Perhaps things would change when his authority level increased in the future, but the number after 'authority' was still 0. Jiang Yanhao didn't even know when his authority would increase.
Gong Jian gave him half a day off, and Jiang Yanhao didn't act coy. Conveniently, the Red Star Engine seemed to have had a change of heart and hadn't issued him any new training missions, so he went back to the dorm to deal with the reward issue this time.
Back in his barracks, there was an empty bunk that was his. Jiang Yanhao quickly unpacked and organized his luggage. He could rest here this afternoon, and no one would disturb him. The soldiers of the Fourth Company were still undergoing their daily training.
After Jiang Yanhao sat on the bed, he focused his attention, and an attribute box immediately appeared in his vision. It was his attribute box. His physical fitness and neural response were still 150 and 120 respectively. If he claimed the 20 reward points now, they would take effect immediately, but his body would have corresponding reactions, so there was no rush.
His authority was still at 0 points for a recruit, a hundred points still a long way off.
And for this mission's reward, Jiang Yanhao took a deep breath and focused his attention on the Electronic Information Warfare Auxiliary Program. As soon as he focused, relevant descriptions immediately appeared.
"Electronic Information Warfare Auxiliary Program: Will provide computational assistance and auxiliary computational support for electronic information warfare. Can wirelessly connect to all current electronic devices."
Seeing this, Jiang Yanhao took a deep breath. This was incredible. The importance of electronic information warfare in modern warfare was beyond doubt, and this thing actually provided auxiliary computational support. Jiang Yanhao wasn't sure how fast the computation was, but this thing was definitely beyond imagination.
Putting this aside for now, Jiang Yanhao didn't claim the Hacker Knowledge, but instead claimed the Special Skill first. Jiang Yanhao wanted to know what this Special Skill actually was.
When he claimed it, a mechanical prompt immediately appeared in his mind.
"Special skill extraction complete. Skill acquired: Newton's Coffin Lid Can't Be Held Down."
"Pfft… cough… cough…" Jiang Yanhao was choked by his own saliva. He was stunned, dumbfounded. What the hell… this name… what's with the strong sense of mockery?
Jiang Yanhao immediately focused his attention on this spoof skill, and its description immediately popped up: "Where the spirit goes, the bullet will reach. Guided by mental power, maximize hit rate."
That's it? Jiang Yanhao was completely bewildered. No, what the hell is this thing?
"Skill acquisition detected. Activate now?" The mechanical prompt appeared again.
"Activate." Jiang Yanhao said directly. He wanted to know what this skill was all about.
The moment Jiang Yan sea's voice fell, he instantly felt his vision shift, and then Jiang Yan sea noticed a dumbfounding change: his brain seemed to have been activated.
When he looked at an object, its relevant data would instantly appear.
Gravity, atmospheric pressure, air humidity, temperature, wind speed—when he looked out the window, his vision passing through the glass, Jiang Yan sea could even see the temperature difference, optical deflection, object movement speed, relative speed… almost all data instantly appeared in his mind.
Jiang Yan sea immediately simulated aiming at a distant red flag.
The data within his field of vision rapidly began to change; atmospheric pressure, gravity, humidity, temperature, wind speed, temperature difference, wind difference, optical deflection, and all other data instantly appeared, not to mention that the relevant data and answers were directly provided.
In other words, if Jiang Yan sea had a sniper rifle in his hand right now, he could directly adjust the sniper rifle's data and then pull the trigger!
This was absolutely insane!
Please allow Jiang Yan sea to curse here; truly, compared to the strong metaphysical implications of its name, the actual effect of this skill was incredibly scientific!
It was practically calculating all data, eliminating all problems that could be solved with data, and then all you had to do was pull the trigger.
How could this not increase accuracy?
Although it was called a skill, it felt more like an inherent ability of Jiang Yan sea.
After a careful experiment, Jiang Yan sea discovered that this skill also had levels; currently, it was only the most basic C-level.
When the level increased, could it do even more outrageous things? For example, making bullets curve? Otherwise, why would it be called "Newton's Coffin Lid That Can't Be Held Down"?
However, this skill had one advantage: Jiang Yan sea could turn it off and activate it at any time, with no cooldown or anything of the sort.
Excellent! Aside from the name, this skill was absolutely overpowered, especially for a soldier, as shooting accuracy was a fundamental skill.
After deactivating the skill, he thought for a moment.
Since he had nothing to do, Jiang Yan sea simply claimed the last Hacker Knowledge.
When Jiang Yan sea claimed the Hacker Knowledge, a vast amount of data instantly flooded into his mind.
The influx of this knowledge wasn't very fast, but it was profound; Jiang Yan sea instantly understood all of it.
It took a full two hours, until Jiang Yan sea felt a bit dizzy, for the B-level Hacker Knowledge to be completely transmitted.
And this knowledge, Jiang Yan sea didn't know how, but it was directly transmitted into his mind, and it was not only very complete, but his understanding of it was also very deep.
Although this knowledge was already very complete, Jiang Yan sea felt that he still needed to practice more.
In today's information age, the importance of such technology was self-evident.
Even for soldiers, almost all individual equipment often relied on information technology support, and in a modern war, information technology was of paramount importance.
Although Jiang Yan sea had received all the knowledge, he had no concept of what level this B-level Hacker Knowledge actually was; he needed to carefully verify and test it.
After a moment of thought, Jiang Yan sea simply took out his phone.
His personal belongings had also been sent to this class.
It was already the information age, and new recruits were allowed to carry phones; smartphones were also permitted, but only specified domestic brands could be used, and there were also requirements regarding the occasions for phone use, etc.
At least, this was the rule in this world.
Phones could only be used during rest periods, and Jiang Yan sea was currently in a rest period.
He took out his phone and turned it on, and a prompt automatically appeared in Jiang Yan sea's mind: "Connect to this smart device?"
Of course, he chose yes.
After choosing yes, Jiang Yan sea found that an operating panel appeared on his phone, somewhat similar to an app, but not quite the same.
However, after opening it, Jiang Yan sea took a deep breath.
As a university student living in the information age, although Jiang Yan sea didn't study computer science, he certainly had some understanding of computer programming, though he wouldn't claim to be proficient.
But now, when he opened this panel, Jiang Yan sea directly understood the underlying data that appeared within it.
Not only did he understand it, but he instantly gained a deep understanding of the phone's system and other issues.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan sea immediately began to operate according to what he had in mind.
In reality, even for domestic phones, almost all systems were Android, but Android used an open-source system, so domestic manufacturers could customize its underlying data, which ensured system security.
But now, in Jiang Yan sea's eyes, the system in front of him had too many vulnerabilities.
After just a few operations, Jiang Yan sea successfully obtained the highest level of access to the phone's system, entering the underlying programming mode.
And during this process, Jiang Yan sea experienced for the first time how powerful the computational support of the Electronic Information Warfare Assistance Program was.
Hackers are no longer mysterious in modern times, but in fact, a decade or so ago, "hacker" was a very prestigious title.
As time progressed, by now, it seems many people rarely hear the term "hacker" anymore.
Even things like computer viruses, which used to be frequently associated with hackers, seem to be less common now; after all, there used to be so many antivirus software programs, but now a simple 360 will do.
Have hackers disappeared?
No, hackers still exist; they have just become more low-key, because in the modern information age, it is more difficult for hackers to hide their identities as they used to, so they have no choice but to be low-key.
Secondly, the security measures of major information companies have improved, and with the rapid development of the internet, cloud computing is the biggest limitation on hacker development.
Many people believe that if you find a system vulnerability, you can infiltrate.
Theoretically, that's correct, but it's fine if you want to infiltrate a personal computer; however, if you want to infiltrate a large company's massive database, servers, etc., even if you have a vulnerability, you still need powerful computational support!
The more powerful the computing capability of the target you want to infiltrate, the more powerful the computing capability you need!
Not to mention that the opponent also has computational power support from multiple large data centers connected through the network, making infiltration even more difficult!
This is also why hackers seem to be less common now.
However, Jiang Yan sea had not yet tested a specific value for the computational support and auxiliary programs provided by the Red Star Engine, but he instantly understood that he could now use this phone to reverse-link to the nearest telecommunications company's base station, and then, through data transmission, reverse-analyze the system vulnerabilities of the telecommunications company's data base station.
Jiang Yanhai experimented a bit; although it was just a mobile phone, he could already test many things.
Through the scan of the electronic warfare auxiliary program, Jiang Yanhai instantly found several vulnerabilities in communication base stations.
Following the hacker knowledge in his mind, Jiang Yanhai quickly began to integrate it.
With the help of the auxiliary program, he immediately started to write a simple program.
His hands rapidly tapped on the virtual keyboard of the phone's not-so-large screen.
In less than twenty minutes, Jiang Yanhai had written a small program.
Then he took a deep breath and directly released this small program.
Jiang Yanhai didn't know what his skill level was, but at worst, the intrusion would fail.
However, with the help of the auxiliary program, even if the intrusion failed, the other party wouldn't be able to trace his exact location.
After all, this auxiliary program... was considered black technology.
However, the auxiliary program couldn't help Jiang Yanhai with the intrusion itself; its capabilities were only a few simple ones.
First, it could connect to any modern computing device and then provide computational support to Jiang Yanhai through the connected device.
Secondly, it could help Jiang Yanhai protect his own turf, preventing enemies from counter-tracking him.
In reality, this alone was a divine artifact for hackers!
What all hackers feared most was being counter-tracked by the enemy.
After all, as long as you intrude on someone through data, you will always leave clues that the enemy can trace.
Most hackers use a large number of 'zombie' jump servers (a 'zombie' is a computer secretly intruded upon by a hacker, who then obtains the highest authority.
They can then connect to your computer and, through your computer, connect to the next intruded computer, going through dozens or even hundreds of such hops to evade enemy tracking).
Upon detecting enemy tracking, they immediately erase their data on each zombie to interrupt the tracking.
After all, after going through dozens of zombies, it's not so easy to trace an IP address.
The electronic warfare auxiliary program was even simpler.
It could directly hide the physical IP address, or instantly virtualize thousands of addresses, making it impossible to trace, though the method it used was unknown.
Without worries, this was probably what every hacker dreamed of.
And the third function was even more direct: it could help Jiang Yanhai by providing powerful computing capabilities.
It could be understood as a supercomputer.
It might not have other abilities, but when Jiang Yanhai needed to forcefully crack enemy passwords or program vulnerabilities, its computing power was a huge support!
These three basic points were already enough.
You know, this meant that no matter where Jiang Yanhai went, he carried a supercomputer with him!
With the support of the auxiliary program, the intrusion mini-program written by Jiang Yanhai instantly began to intrude into the communication company's system based on the vulnerabilities.
Then Jiang Yanhai was somewhat dumbfounded to find that in less than two minutes, he had obtained the hidden highest authority of this communication base station.
And the intrusion program quickly began to spread directly through the base station's internal network.
"Uh..." Jiang Yanhai choked a bit and quickly manually stopped the program from continuing.
The power of this program was a bit beyond his imagination.
This meant that his hacking level was probably not low, even if it was only B-level.
Jiang Yanhai did not continue to experiment.
There was no immediate use for it, so it was better not to use it for now; he would keep it as a hidden trump card.
After restoring his phone to its original state, Jiang Yanhai simply lay down to rest.
After receiving so much information, his brain was still a bit dizzy.
Before lying down to rest, Jiang Yanhai claimed the mission rewards of physical fitness and neural response.
When he claimed the rewards, a cool sensation instantly surged from all parts of his body.
This power filled his entire body; he could almost hear his muscles trembling.
However, at this moment, his brain also became cool, relieving the dizzy feeling, and he soon fell asleep.
Jiang Yanhai was awakened by human voices.
When he opened his eyes, he instantly felt refreshed and invigorated.
In addition, his body had recovered to its optimal state, and he felt an indescribable sense of strength.
As soon as he sat up from his position, he saw He Chenguang and the others, including the squad leader, Old Hei, walking in.
"Squad leader, good day!" Jiang Yanhai stood up straight and said loudly.
"Alright, no need to salute.
It's rest time now.
How are you?
How's your body recovering?" Old Hei smiled and asked.
"No problem," Jiang Yanhai said seriously.
"Not bad.
Your body looks much stronger than it was during recruit training.
I really don't know how you trained.
How's the food at the farm?" Old Hei smiled, and the other soldiers in the squad also laughed.
"Yeah, I say, Old Jiang, you've caused quite a stir.
You didn't show off much during recruit training, but now you're returning with a bang," He Chenguang said with a smile.
He Chenguang here looked very young, just an 18-year-old.
Of course, he couldn't be like in the TV series, *cough, cough*... Jiang Yanhai suppressed his urge to complain, but their appearances were only similar.
Jiang Yanhai was a few months older than He Chenguang and the others, so He Chenguang and the others called him Old Jiang.
"Uh, I encountered something at the time, and I wasn't in a very good mood." Jiang Yanhai didn't explain in detail.
He had to give an explanation to Gong Jian because Gong Jian was the instructor, but there was no need for others.
"Alright, enough said.
Today you taught us a lesson, telling us that there are always people better than you," He Chenguang said with a chuckle.
"Exactly.
Come, come, everyone, let's introduce ourselves and get to know each other." Old Hei smiled and said.
Soon, he introduced all the soldiers in the entire squad to Jiang Yanhai.
In this squad, there were only two new recruits, Jiang Yanhai and He Chenguang.
If the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters was the spearhead company of the entire Iron Fist Regiment, then Old Hei's squad was the spearhead squad of the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters!
Its strength was naturally beyond doubt.
After everyone introduced themselves, Jiang Yanhai quickly integrated into the group for the time being.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, when the piercing reveille sounded from the loudspeakers outside, Jiang Yanhai immediately jumped out of bed.
He had been tormented by the Red Star auxiliary engine for a while now, so he got up incredibly quickly.
Today, the training of various companies was basically separate, and their morning training was shooting practice.
When he heard about shooting practice, Jiang Yanhai's expression became a little strange.
After all, he was now truly a man with a cheat code!
Today, I specifically moved shooting training to the morning. The reason, I believe, is something everyone knows without me saying it: because we have another strong person in our company. I don't think anyone has an objection to me saying that, do they?!" Gong Jian said with a half-joking opening.
When it wasn't a formal occasion, Gong Jian actually enjoyed joking around and wasn't so serious.
"No!"
"He's a badass!" A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the crowd. After all, most of the soldiers in the Sharpshooter Fourth Company weren't very old. Although they were all soldiers, they weren't completely out of touch with the times. As soldiers of the new era, they were proficient in using some internet slang.
"Haha…"
Sure enough, hearing the term "badass," most people immediately laughed, and even Gong Jian laughed. Clearly, Gong Jian also knew the meme.
"Then I don't need to explain too much. Our Sharpshooter Fourth Company has only one tradition: the capable advance, the mediocre retreat! Yesterday, Comrade Jiang Yanfei gave everyone a small demonstration of his shooting skills. Today, let him put on a good show for everyone, how about it?" Gong Jian asked loudly.
"Good!"
Instantly, the soldiers became enthusiastic, cheering loudly accompanied by applause.
"Come on… what are you waiting for?" Gong Jian smiled and waved to Jiang Yanfei.
Jiang Yanfei didn't waste words, immediately stood up, quickly jogged to the front, stood at attention, and saluted Gong Jian.
"At ease." Gong Jian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "How about it, we all saw your rifle shooting scores yesterday. How about trying a sniper rifle today?"
"Okay." Jiang Yanfei immediately agreed. He also wanted to try it, especially after acquiring the skill of… Newton's coffin lid.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that special forces experience card. Within the duration of that experience card, Jiang Yanfei felt like he was an elite special forces soldier who had trained for many years.
However, the main point is what happens after the experience time. When the experience time is over, everything you could experience within the card does not actually disappear, but how much you can remember… that's up to you.
Strictly speaking, within the time limit of that experience card, the Red Star Auxiliary Engine should have enhanced all the special forces skills and imprinted them into Jiang Yanfei's mind.
And after the time limit, without the help of the Red Star Auxiliary Engine, some things that Jiang Yanfei hadn't used within the experience card's duration would naturally disappear.
After all, that experience wasn't Jiang Yanfei's own, but if he could truly master all those special forces skills within the experience card's duration, then even after the experience card expired, Jiang Yanfei would still be a solid elite special forces soldier.
However, human memory is limited. Even with a super brain like Jiang Yanfei's, with an activity level of 180, not everything can be instantly memorized; it all requires repeated practice and familiarity.
And what he experienced most during the trial period yesterday was shooting, as well as some physical training, long-distance travel, and armed cross-country experience and skills.
So now, even without the experience card, his 100-meter rapid-fire shooting, even if not as abnormal as yesterday, wouldn't be too bad. The same goes for rifle shooting skills. But for sniper rifles, that's really not certain, because Jiang Yanfei hadn't actually touched one before, though he had assembled one once, so it wouldn't be too unfamiliar.
"How about it? Which one will you use?" Gong Jian smiled and pointed to the two sniper rifles next to him, an 88 sniper rifle and an 85 sniper rifle.
The 88 sniper rifle uses 5.8mm domestically produced standard caliber bullets, weighs 4.1 kg, has a total length of 920mm, a barrel length of 620mm, a magazine capacity of 10 rounds, and an effective range of 800m.
Because the 88 sniper rifle uses 5.8mm caliber machine gun rounds, with high initial velocity and high projectile energy, even though its effective range is only 800 meters, its bullets can 100% penetrate 3mm thick A3 steel plates at a distance of 1000 meters!
It performs extremely well at medium to long distances!
And it was also the world's first small-caliber sniper rifle to be equipped by troops.
The 85 sniper rifle, on the other hand, uses a 7.62mm caliber and is a long-range sniper rifle with a maximum effective range of 1000 meters, usually used in conjunction with the 88 sniper rifle.
"The 88 sniper, please." Jiang Yanfei smiled and said.
"Okay." Gong Jian didn't waste words, directly picked up the 88 sniper rifle from beside him and threw it to Jiang Yanfei.
After receiving the 88 sniper rifle, Jiang Yanfei immediately said, "Instructor, I've had very limited exposure to it a few times before, so I'd like to disassemble and assemble it a few times first, then get familiar with it."
"No problem." Gong Jian also gave him this courtesy, allowing him to familiarize himself.
Indeed, Jiang Yanfei probably really didn't have many opportunities to use it. Although the regiment was relatively generous with firearms and ammunition for units like the Quartermaster Department's mess hall, due to their relatively high sacrifice rate, or rather, all units were relatively generous, they had their own work and not that much time.
Otherwise, as the mess hall leader Li Erniu said, if you're willing, you can even play with 40mm rockets, but for other combat squads in the Fourth Company, it wouldn't be so easy to play with 40mm rockets.
Therefore, Jiang Yanfei probably didn't have many opportunities to interact with them.
After getting Gong Jian's permission, Jiang Yanfei immediately took the gun cloth nearby, spread it on the ground, and without avoiding others, directly began to disassemble and assemble it.
Actually, Jiang Yanfei wanted to consolidate the skills he had learned from yesterday's experience card in his mind.
The first time he disassembled and assembled it, he was a bit rusty, as there was no experience card time, but it was still above average.
By the second time, Jiang Yanfei's proficiency began to increase sharply, and the speed of assembly also began to accelerate. He assembled it a total of five times.
By the fifth time, Jiang Yanfei's speed had almost reached its limit. Although the soldiers next to him were all watching, they were all somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.
Truly, such disassembly and assembly speed could sometimes only be seen during the military skills competition of the entire army.
"Click!" After loading the magazine, Jiang Yanfei immediately stood up and said, "Report, I'm ready."
"Good, there are human-shaped targets at 400 meters, 600 meters, and 800 meters over there. When you're ready, just shoot on your own and let us see." Gong Jian said, smiling and clapping his hands.
"Can you give me a few more magazines?" Jiang Yanfei thought for a moment and asked with a smile.
Gong Jian smiled and said nothing, but directly took two magazines from the side and handed them over. All three magazines were fully loaded, a total of 30 rounds.
Clearly, Gong Jian thought Jiang Yanfei hadn't played with a sniper rifle before and wanted to test the gun.
Actually, he wasn't wrong. Jiang Yanfei indeed wanted to test the gun, but the concept of testing the gun could be quite different.
After lying on the ground, Jiang Yanhaai immediately activated his skill.
The data reappeared in his vision, but this time he wasn't in a room, so many data points were more intuitive.
The most terrifying thing was that once he had a firearm in his hand, it wasn't just the traditional data anymore.
It included data about the firearm in his hand, such as the polishing degree of the optical scope lenses.
It's important to know that while every optical lens is now machine-made, the smoothness of their polish can vary significantly.
Even this polishing error was factored in, along with optical deflection, and the humidity, temperature, wind speed, and gravity of the air he looked through—everything was calculated.
When he aimed the scope at a target 400 meters away, all the data seemed to instantly become clear in his mind.
Finally, all this data converged into one piece of information: how many mil-dots and other settings needed to be adjusted on the scope.
Jiang Yanhaai also had a sudden realization: even the adjustment knobs on the optical scope might not be necessary.
As long as he became more proficient and familiar with applying this data, as long as his eyes could see, he wouldn't need to adjust mil-dots or anything like that; he would know exactly how to shoot.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yanhaai aimed at the target 400 meters away and prepared to fire.
The targets were human-shaped, with balloons tied into hollowed-out sections in different parts of the body for a more intuitive visual.
Gong Jian, who witnessed this scene from the side, curved his lips into a slight smile.
He could tell that Jiang Yanhaai had indeed never used a sniper rifle, and he didn't even know how to adjust one.
Perhaps at a distance of 400 meters, with the high precision of the Type 88 sniper rifle, he could hit the target directly, but at 600 and 800 meters, he would definitely miss.
This was a good thing!
Because Jiang Yanhaai was too excellent, too proud.
Gong Jian could feel that Jiang Yanhaai was overly confident.
Confidence was good, but if he remained this confident all the time, it might not be a good thing.
Sometimes, setbacks could make a person more humble and more eager to learn.
So, Gong Jian's smile was one of relief, waiting for Jiang Yanhaai to make a mistake, so that he could become more humble towards the world.
As these thoughts flashed through Gong Jian's mind, Jiang Yanhaai on the side directly pulled his trigger.
Gong Jian quickly picked up the binoculars hanging on his chest, and Old Hei beside him also grabbed his binoculars.
With a muffled 'bang,' the balloon on the left calf of the human-shaped target 400 meters away instantly burst.
After firing one shot, Jiang Yanhaai instantly found his rhythm.
The data within his field of vision changed even faster, and the results of the data appeared even more quickly.
Just as Gong Jian thought Jiang Yanhaai had missed and was about to comfort him, Jiang Yanhaai suddenly pulled the trigger in his hand.
The second 'bang' rang out directly, and this time, the balloon on the right calf was burst.
What Gong Jian didn't expect was that Jiang Yanhaai then seemed to enter a state of frenzy, with continuous 'bang,' 'bang' gunshots ringing out.
And within Gong Jian's binoculars, on the target 400 meters away, the six balloons on the human-shaped target were popped with terrifying speed accompanying the gunshots.
Left hand, right hand, chest, head!
Five consecutive shots! The interval between each shot was even less than one second!
What kind of speed was this?
Even some veteran shooters wouldn't dare to use a sniper rifle at this speed!
Is this a sniper rifle?!
You're treating a sniper rifle like an assault rifle!
As these balloons were popped one by one, Gong Jian felt completely flustered.
He had been preparing to comfort Jiang Yanhaai, but now it seemed he was the one who needed comforting!
What kind of talent was this?!
The most terrifying thing was that after shooting, Jiang Yanhaai replaced the magazine at an incredible speed, then directly half-squatted on the ground, raising the sniper rifle.
Almost less than a second after his eye touched the scope, he pulled the trigger again.
Gong Jian couldn't bother with his jumbled thoughts anymore and quickly raised his binoculars to look at the target 600 meters away.
'Bang,' 'bang,' 'bang'...
The same rhythm, the same result.
All the balloons were popped one by one in the same order as the 400-meter target, making Gong Jian feel a bit dazed.
Is this a new recruit?
Even more terrifying, he even had a delusion that the shooting speed seemed to be faster this time?!
At this moment, Jiang Yanhaai also seemed to enter a unique state.
He found that the more he concentrated, the faster the data transformed, and his reactions also seemed to become faster and faster.
This feeling was so magical that Jiang Yanhaai didn't bother to think too much.
After finishing the 600-meter target, Jiang Yanhaai immediately changed the magazine again.
Because each target had 6 balloons, but a magazine only had 10 rounds, he chose not to empty the magazine.
'Bang,' 'bang,' it was as if the story was replaying, and the only constant was that the rhythm of the gunshots seemed to never stop.
Gong Jian's hands were trembling.
What kind of monster was this?!
He could shoot directly without even adjusting the data on the scope?!
And shoot so accurately?!
How could anyone else live like this?!
"Bang!" When the last bullet accurately hit the final balloon on the 800-meter human-shaped target, Gong Jian felt somewhat numb for a moment.
He didn't know what to say.
Putting down his binoculars and preparing to say something, Gong Jian suddenly noticed that Jiang Yanhaai hadn't put down his rifle.
Suddenly remembering something, Gong Jian quickly raised his hand again and picked up his binoculars.
He recalled when He Chenguang had tested the sniper rifle, using the Type 88 to hit a flag at 1200 meters.
And at this moment, those two flags were naturally still standing there, one at 1200 meters and one at 1400 meters.
Back then, He Chenguang still needed him as an assistant, but Jiang Yanhaai clearly had no such intention now.
The most terrifying thing was Jiang Yanhaai's entire state at this moment.
Gong Jian raised his binoculars.
This time, Jiang Yanhaai didn't immediately fire.
Gong Jian couldn't help but inwardly complain, "If you can still shoot like that, as if without aiming, you're not human!"
However, what he didn't know was that the data in Jiang Yanhaai's vision was rapidly changing, and then quickly settled on a number.
Then, Jiang Yanhaai's body seemed to have formed an instinct.
Instead of adjusting the scope, his body muscles slightly adjusted the muzzle, and he directly pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot.
About a second later, the blue flag 1200 meters away snapped in response!
Gong Jian looked through his binoculars at the fallen blue flag. In just a month, two new recruits had managed to hit a target at 1200 meters with an 88 sniper rifle, which has an effective range of 800 meters. What kind of talent was this?!
Just as his thoughts were still processing, a sudden "bang" of a gunshot startled Gong Jian. His mind, which had been wandering, snapped back, and when he saw the situation through his binoculars, he was truly shocked this time.
The red flag at 1400 meters also fell! 1400 meters! What kind of concept was that?!
For the 88 sniper rifle, an effective range of 800 meters doesn't mean its range is only 800 meters and it can't go beyond that. In reality, the 88 sniper rifle can penetrate a 3mm A3 steel plate at 1000 meters.
The term 'effective range' simply means that within this range, the accuracy of the firearm and the trajectory of the bullet are at their best and most precise.
Beyond this distance, the bullet's trajectory becomes very difficult to predict, but it doesn't mean it's impossible to control beyond the effective range. However, that requires a shooter with terrifying shooting experience!
1400 meters? What kind of concept is that? It's almost double the effective range. For the 88 sniper rifle, at this distance, the bullet's dispersion range is already extremely wide!
How much incredible shooting talent does it take to achieve this?
In fact, the surroundings were already silent. When Jiang Hai put down his gun, everyone in the Fourth Company was completely stunned. This was just too damn terrifying!
The Sharpshooter Fourth Company, as its name suggests, was comprised of elite soldiers, and it boasted the highest number of expert marksmen in the entire company.
Precisely because everyone was an expert marksman, they could better understand how incredibly difficult what Jiang Hai had achieved was! Or, to put it another way, how monstrous his accomplishment was!
Even more terrifying was that this was a newcomer! It's safe to say that all the veterans in the Fourth Company felt like they had been utterly defeated.
It was bad enough that there was a He Chenguang before, but now another one popped up, and word has it there's another one in the Sixth Company. You new recruits are so formidable, are you going to leave us old soldiers any room to live?
"No, Jiang Hai, how did you do it? I saw that you didn't even adjust the parameters of your scope just now?" If Gong Jian had a choice, he truly wouldn't want to ask He Chenguang that question, as asking it once made him want to hit someone once.
However, he still asked the question, mainly because the shock in his heart was truly hard to hide. You're completely not leaving anyone else a way to live.
The gap is a bit too exaggerated, hey.
"It's very simple..." Hearing Gong Jian's question, Jiang Hai subconsciously blurted out those four words again. After saying them, he couldn't help but pause for a moment. Was it not good to be so arrogant?
Gong Jian: "..."
How was it simple? But he decided not to ask that question, otherwise, this guy would become even more arrogant.
Seeing Gong Jian's slightly resentful gaze, Jiang Hai choked for a moment before speaking.
"Uh... actually, it's just that I've memorized the sniper parameter table. These aren't secrets on the internet. You just need to remember the corresponding mil-dots for different distances, wind speeds, humidity, and temperatures, etc. Then, take professional tools to test humidity, temperature, and wind speed in the field, and remember that feeling."
"After imprinting all of them in my mind, when designing, I can instantly match the relevant data to the applicable parameters. This way, even though I don't know how to adjust the mil-dots and other parameters of the scope yet, it doesn't matter, I just need to leave enough leeway."
"Actually, next, I'm also planning to find some tools to generate data on barrel rifling wear and bullet flight errors, and also refer to the optical deflection of the sniper scope to form a systematic data. This way, theoretically, as long as the bullet is within its lethal range, stationary targets can be accurately hit."
"As for moving targets, it's actually relatively simple. As long as the opponent's movement speed and other factors are calculated, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Jiang Hai said earnestly.
Gong Jian: "..."
Old Hei: "..."
He Chenguang: "..."
Other soldiers of the Fourth Company: "..."
Why is it that we understand every word you say, but after you finish speaking... we don't understand any of it?
Why is it that the sniper tactics and sniper parameter table, which almost every one of us knows... suddenly become incomprehensible?
Gong Jian was completely speechless. Was this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person? It felt like what he was talking about was something humans couldn't even do.
But he had done it, live and in person. This was a real-life example, and besides admiration, there was truly nothing else you could do.
What Jiang Hai said was the truth, and also the main principle of the Coffin Board skill.
Moreover, Jiang Hai was already certain that there would be many more powerful aspects of himself that he would display in the future. He had to seize this opportunity to showcase his uniqueness, so that they would find it easier to accept things step by step.
Otherwise, if everything piled up at once, no one would be able to accept it.
Now, he had to give them a persona, which was that he was a genius! Geniuses, after all, are always different from ordinary people. Over time, they would stop caring, or rather, become numb to it.
"Alright, this is probably just your method. We probably won't be able to learn it." Gong Jian wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
"Next, each squad leader will lead their squad to begin shooting training. Old Hei, Jiang Hai will also be a sniper in your squad from now on!" Gong Jian announced loudly and directly.
"Yes!" The squad leaders immediately responded loudly.
"Yes!" Old Hei also responded readily. Although their squad already had He Chenguang, no one ever complained about having too many talented people.
The various squads quickly dispersed across the shooting range to begin training. Gong Jian didn't participate this time, only watching from a distance, while Old Hei led Jiang Hai, He Chenguang, and the others aside and said directly, "Next, we'll begin training. Jiang Hai, your sniper rifle will be issued to you shortly."
"Yes! Report, can I apply to practice with the Type 95 first? I want to practice with more bullets." Jiang Hai paused, then spoke.
"Practice with more bullets?" Old Hei was taken aback.
"Yes, squad leader, I want to familiarize myself with and record the bullet dispersion range of the Type 95. It might require quite a few bullets," Jiang Hai said truthfully.
Of course, his idea was simple: why not seize this opportunity to gain some benefits and practice his marksmanship more? Even though he had the monstrous skill of Newton's Coffin Board, practice makes perfect, and Jiang Hai was well aware that good shooters are made by feeding them bullets.
Wait a moment, everyone else, start your own practice," Old Hei said after a moment of hesitation.
"Yes!" Everyone else was already at their respective shooting positions, and upon hearing Old Hei's command, they immediately began practicing.
Although the Sharpshooter Fourth Company was the "tip of the spear" company of the Iron Fist Regiment, in reality, bullet training was not unlimited.
Meanwhile, Old Hei had already run directly to Gong Jian and reported Jiang Yanhao's situation to him.
Although Old Hei was a Master Sergeant First Class, which was a very impressive rank and afforded him benefits equivalent to the entire regiment, much higher than Gong Jian's, he was still a soldier and thus had to obey officers' orders at times.
But in truth, Old Hei was far more formidable than Gong Jian. When it came to Master Sergeant First Class and Master Sergeant Second Class in the army, it's no exaggeration to say that some generals and colonels in your military region might have been soldiers trained by these Master Sergeants!
"You said he wants to practice with more bullets?" Gong Jian looked at Old Hei with some surprise, then glanced at Jiang Yanhao in the distance, who was exchanging words with He Chenguang.
"Yes," Old Hei immediately nodded.
Gong Jian was at a loss for words. Don't assume that target practice is enjoyable; for some slacker soldiers in field units, target practice is often avoided whenever possible.
Because firing too many bullets causes the shoulder to ache from the recoil, this is an inevitable experience. Some veteran shooters definitely have calluses on their shoulders!
And how did those calluses form? They were literally ground into existence!
Jiang Yanhao's shooting talent was undeniable, and now he was even more diligent... Gong Jian gave a wry smile. He had been planning to find a way to temper Jiang Yanhao's sharp edge, but now... with such diligence, he was somewhat speechless.
"Give it to him!" Gong Jian said directly. "As long as he wants to play, give him as many bullets as he wants. I don't believe there's an army afraid of wasting bullets on a sharpshooter!"
"Yes!" Old Hei immediately nodded.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yanhao was talking to He Chenguang. "Old Jiang, how do you remember all that?" He Chenguang asked, somewhat helplessly.
"I just remember it," Jiang Yanhao said, a bit helplessly. Memory is truly something that cannot be learned.
For example, the reason He Chenguang possesses such formidable sniping talent is, firstly, related to genetics, and secondly, greatly influenced by his family environment. There's no need to elaborate on who his grandfather is, right?
"But overall, there isn't too much data. You don't need to memorize all the minor details; just remember the crucial ones. Although most sniping involves an assistant, it can still be useful to remember them yourself sometimes," Jiang Yanhao said with a smile.
"I understand, Old Jiang. You have to tell me about any other techniques you learn in the future," He Chenguang said with a chuckle.
"No problem, rest assured," Jiang Yanhao shrugged.
As they spoke, Old Hei had already walked over and said directly to Jiang Yanhao, "Jiang Yanhao, your request has been approved by the instructor. I've already sent someone to bring the bullets."
"Thank you, Squad Leader!" Jiang Yanhao was immediately overjoyed. Being able to fire as many bullets as he wanted was not a privilege everyone had. Jiang Yanhao had made this request primarily to become more familiar with his passive skill.
Through his recent sniper rifle shooting, Jiang Yanhao had realized that the more he used this passive skill, and the faster he fired, the quicker its reaction speed became. And as its reaction speed increased, it seemed to integrate and become an instinct for Jiang Yanhao.
The moment Jiang Yanhao wanted to shoot, it could tell him exactly where to aim.
Jiang Yanhao's goal was to completely transform it into his instinct, ideally practicing to the point where, even if he turned off the skill, he could still hit whatever he aimed at, as if the skill were active.
However, when several soldiers carried two boxes over, Jiang Yanhao still gasped, his mouth wide open. "No way... you can play like this?"
Everyone else was shooting a few magazines each, but here Jiang Yanhao was being given three boxes of 5.8mm caliber bullets?! Not three magazines, but three boxes!
Jiang Yanhao subconsciously glanced at Gong Jian in the distance, who smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Jiang Yanhao: "..."
No, instructor, are you getting revenge?
"The bullets are here for you, but if you want to practice target shooting, you'll have to load the magazines yourself," Old Hei said, with a rare smile.
"Yes, Squad Leader!" Jiang Yanhao immediately replied, taking out his three Type 95 magazines and directly beginning to load the bullets.
Old Hei and the others didn't say anything more, just watched from the side.
It must be said that the special forces experience card had given Jiang Yanhao many insights. For instance, loading magazines, which Jiang Yanhao was initially a little unfamiliar with, quickly became exceptionally proficient.
He opened the bullet box, took out a stack of bullets wrapped in paper, each 10 bullets fixed together by a black stripper clip. He clipped the 10 bullets into the magazine, pushed them in, and the 10 bullets were immediately loaded into the magazine.
In fact, many people also call the part installed on a firearm a "clip," but strictly speaking, what's installed on a firearm should not be called a "clip"; it should be called a "magazine."
And only that black strip that fixes the bullets from the factory can be called a "clip," because there are many types of these clips, all developed for convenience in fixing bullets, transporting bullets, and quickly loading bullets.
Old Hei watched from the side. When he saw Jiang Yanhao tap the box a few times after loading the magazines, he couldn't help but nod. Details!
Details determine success or failure. Although Jiang Yanhao and the others had done the work of loading bullets, only old soldiers remembered to tap the magazine every time after loading. Many new recruits would forget.
But Jiang Yanhao was too skilled. To be honest, Old Hei couldn't find any fault. Such excellent new recruits were great, but sometimes squad leaders like them felt a bit lost because they had no sense of presence.
The three magazines were loaded very skillfully, and Jiang Yanhao immediately prepared for shooting training.
"Wait, there are more magazines in the box below," Old Hei said.
"Ah... Thank you, Squad Leader." Jiang Yanhao was stunned for a moment, then happily lifted the special engineering plastic box and opened the bullet box underneath.
Indeed, this box only contained magazines, not bullets. Inside were seven magazines, which, with his original three, made a total of ten magazines.
"Thank you, Squad Leader." Jiang Yanhao stood at attention and saluted again, then quickly took out all these magazines, as they were all pre-loaded with bullets.
After installing the magazines, Jiang Yanhao immediately went to his shooting position. They were currently practicing on 100-meter human-shaped targets. Jiang Yanhao didn't lie prone to shoot like the other soldiers; instead, he directly half-squatted and began firing.
When Jiang Yanhao started shooting, he put everything else out of his mind and focused his attention.
Sure enough, the Coffin Board skill was still effective, and its speed was much faster than when Jiang Yanhao first used it. Unlike using a sniper scope, at a distance of 100 meters, external factors had minimal impact on the bullet, but that didn't mean the skill was useless.
It was still useful because after repeated use, it became more like an instinct for Jiang Yanhao, combining with his formidable physical fitness. When his body could instinctively cooperate with this skill, he could truly achieve whatever he desired, hitting whatever he aimed at without even needing to aim.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Initially, Jiang Yanhao fired single shots, and the bullets didn't directly hit the center of the circular target. Instead, they started to draw a circle around the edge.
After all, he couldn't keep changing targets, so he simply reused the same one multiple times.
The crisp gunshots rang out continuously, and the bullets steadily followed the outermost circle of the target.
With the aid of the skill, the bullet holes left by Jiang Yanhao barely deviated from that line, forming a perfectly uniform circle.
Old Hei, watching this scene through binoculars, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Did such shooting skill still need practice?
Of course, this was also because Jiang Yanhao's performance had stimulated him too much; after all, the shooting skills Jiang Yanhao displayed today were truly a bit abnormal.
Old Hei didn't interrupt Jiang Yanhao's shooting, and Gong Jian, watching from afar with his own binoculars, couldn't help but sigh. Was this... really the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?
The gap was a bit too wide. Especially since Jiang Yanhao hadn't seemed to practice for very long. What level would his shooting skills reach after he had been "fed" enough bullets?
However, Gong Jian soon saw that he didn't even have to wait. After continuously firing two magazines of single shots, Jiang Yanhao started to show off.
After circling the outer rings of the target with bullet holes, Jiang Yanhao began to continuously aim at the center. After changing magazines again, he directly switched to automatic fire.
Most importantly, when he started automatic fire, he drew a straight line, extending downwards from the very top of the target. After passing the target, his bullets continuously hit the wooden stakes standing below the target.
Fortunately, the target was fixed firmly enough, but through the binoculars, Gong Jian could still see that under the continuous firing, the wooden stakes below the target had been broken, and their height was constantly being reduced by the bullets.
This was... real-life online bullet-pushing!
Gong Jian was somewhat amazed because this required powerful control over the firearm, as well as strong physical fitness. The recoil of a gun was no joke.
"Jiang Yanhao."
After Jiang Yanhao finished firing a magazine, Gong Jian called out loudly.
"Here!" Jiang Yanhao immediately stood at attention and responded.
"Come over here and shoot at the target on the bulletproof wall," Gong Jian waved Jiang Yanhao over.
Jiang Yanhao had no objections and went straight over. Behind the targets on a shooting range, there were always bulletproof walls, as bullets could travel quite far after penetrating the targets, and who knew what accidents might happen.
The shooting range they were at was for assault rifle training, with targets at 50 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters. The farthest was 200 meters, and the bulletproof wall was about 300 meters away.
Although the effective range of the Type 95 assault rifle was 400 meters, daily target practice rarely involved shooting at 400-meter targets with the Type 95. At the extreme effective range, it was very difficult for many ordinary soldiers to hit the target.
Especially without optical sights, only iron sights. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that at 400 meters, a person looks no bigger than a thumb. Hitting a target at this distance without optical sights was considered excellent marksmanship.
And now, giving Jiang Yanhao a 300-meter shooting distance was sufficient, because any further, it would no longer be within the effective range of an assault rifle. Of course, there are no absolutes; if you have the skill, you can even use an assault rifle to hit targets at 800 meters.
Arriving at the spot Gong Jian indicated, Jiang Yanhao directly aimed at the target on the distant bulletproof wall. The crudely painted circular target on the bulletproof wall was relatively large, mainly with more rings, though the central red dot was quite small.
At this distance, he didn't play any other tricks. He simply aimed and pulled the trigger directly at the center. Gong Jian, standing not far from Jiang Yanhao, picked up his binoculars.
With the first "bang" of the gunshot, Gong Jian could see the bullet directly hit the center of the distant target. Because it was an outdoor shooting range, the bulletproof wall was quite simple, made of sand and gravel mixed with concrete, allowing bullets to directly embed themselves in the earth.
Then, in Gong Jian's line of sight, he saw the second bullet also head directly for that center point.
Jiang Yanhao wasn't paying attention to anything else at this moment, because he discovered that this skill seemed to have some ability to enhance his vision. If he didn't activate the skill, at 300 meters, his vision would be that of a normal person, but after activating it, at 300 meters, he could see much more clearly than a normal person!
Bullet after bullet accurately penetrated the bullseye of the target. A whole magazine of bullets, without any misses. For such a fixed target, with the aid of the Coffin Board skill, it presented almost no challenge to him.
After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yanhao looked to the side. Next to them was the long-range shooting range for snipers, which had 600-meter targets.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yanhao wanted to try the 600-meter target. Theoretically, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to hit a 600-meter target with the naked eye, especially when using an assault rifle instead of a high-precision sniper rifle.
However, the Coffin Board skill had just given Jiang Yanhao a strange feeling, as if there were some functions of this skill that he hadn't yet developed?
"Report," Jiang Yanhao said.
"Speak," Gong Jian put down his binoculars and looked at Jiang Yanhao.
"Instructor, can I try shooting at that 600-meter target?" Jiang Yanhao asked, pointing to the sniper range next door.
Gong Jian: "..."
Gong Jian really wanted to say no, or rather, he really wanted to say, "Can you not be so arrogant? Can you practice something more practical?"
But in the end, he didn't say it out loud, mainly because the abilities Jiang Yanhao had shown before were too miraculous.
"Go ahead, what are you embarrassed about? If you want to, just go," Gong Jian simply said, since there was no one else over there anyway.
"Yes, thank you, Instructor." Jiang Yanhao immediately chuckled twice, then turned and aimed at the 600-meter target.
Whether it was the sniper rifle before or the 100-meter target and 300-meter bulletproof wall target after switching to an assault rifle, they were all within effective range. But this time, when Jiang Hai aimed his Type 95 at the 600-meter target, a new change occurred in his vision.
Although the data continued to change, Jiang Hai no longer needed to pay attention to it. It quickly disappeared automatically. However, in his line of sight, a red dot appeared that others couldn't see, similar to a crosshair in a shooting game.
This red dot didn't appear out of nowhere; it was more like a convergence of countless surrounding data. Within Jiang Hai's line of sight, he hesitated for a moment, then directly aimed at this red dot and fired.
Gong Jian on the other side had already aimed his binoculars at the target. "Bang!" After a gunshot, a bullet hole suddenly appeared in the chest of the 600-meter human-shaped target in Gong Jian's binoculars.
"Good!" Gong Jian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim.
At a distance of 600 meters, with a Type 95 assault rifle, some people with slightly poorer eyesight couldn't even clearly see the target, yet Jiang Hai was able to hit it accurately. This was truly… For a moment, Gong Jian didn't know what word to use to describe it. Genius? This word was almost overused after just one morning of shooting training. The problem was that Gong Jian still didn't know Jiang Hai's limits.
Upon seeing that he had indeed hit the target, Jiang Hai immediately took a deep breath. This was much more difficult than the previous shots. He simply continued to fire at the 600-meter target.
"Bang," "bang," a continuous series of gunshots rang out. With each shot, that familiar feeling constantly emerged, and the entire skill seemed to be becoming his instinct.
That red dot was formed by countless data, and every time Jiang Hai fired, those data automatically started to emerge in his mind, followed by calculation results, and then his body could make appropriate micro-adjustments.
Jiang Hai took a deep breath. This was probably the true essence of this skill, right?
He fired three magazines consecutively, all at the 600-meter target, and Jiang Hai didn't miss a single shot!
It wasn't until he confirmed that he had mastered this new use of the skill that Jiang Hai ended the training.
Looking at Jiang Hai as he stood up, Gong Jian was a little dazed. After regaining his composure, his thoughts became somewhat complex, because he suddenly felt that such fixed-target shooting training was almost useless for Jiang Hai.
After a moment of hesitation, he made a decision in his heart: after lunch today, he would go to the regiment commander's office to apply. For special talents, special training must be provided, otherwise, it would delay the growth trajectory of these talents!
"Report." Jiang Hai looked at Gong Jian, also hesitating for a moment, mainly because he had a new idea, but he didn't know if the instructor would approve.
"Speak." Gong Jian took a deep breath and said.
"Instructor, are there any more powerful weapons?" Jiang Hai paused, then asked.
"More powerful? What do you want to play with? A 40mm rocket launcher?" Gong Jian was stunned for a moment, taken aback by Jiang Hai's question.
"No, why would I play with that? That thing is simple and crude, with no technical content. I want to play with the Type 10." Jiang Hai simply stated his idea.
Gong Jian looked at Jiang Hai speechlessly. Alright, you're thinking quite a lot.
"Well, if I can't play with it, then forget it. I was just saying." Seeing Gong Jian remain silent, Jiang Hai thought he was in a difficult position and immediately chuckled twice.
"Don't be like that, you genius has brought it up, so we have to let you play with it. Old Hei!" Gong Jian first gave him an annoyed look, then called out to Old Hei, who was assisting with the shooting training.
"Here!" Old Hei shouted, and immediately ran over.
"Go to the armory and get a Type 10 sniper rifle." Gong Jian said directly.
"Ah?" Old Hei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Hai next to him.
"Hmm, our genius wants to play with it, so let him play with it." Gong Jian smiled, not caring.
"Yes!" Old Hei immediately agreed without further ado, directly called over another squad leader to assist with the training, while he himself drove off with a soldier from that side.
The Type 10 sniper rifle is the latest large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle developed in China! Unlike the Type 88 sniper and Type 85 sniper, when it was developed, it was not primarily designed to shoot people, in a sense.
Of course, it's not that it can't shoot people, but rather that its main purpose is for anti-materiel operations.
The 12.7mm caliber Type 10 anti-materiel sniper rifle is one of the most advanced large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles in China. It is a large-caliber sniper rifle officially standardized and produced by the military in China, unlike the M99, JS, and other models specifically for export.
However, not every unit has it. Only a few elite companies within elite regiments like the Iron Fist Regiment are likely to be equipped with a few of them.
The Type 10 large-caliber anti-materiel semi-automatic sniper rifle uses specially made 12.7mm x 108mm caliber ammunition, with an empty weight of 12kg, an effective range of 1500 meters, and an overall length of 1380mm.
The Type 10 is already considered a heavy sniper rifle. This thing can even penetrate 15mm of homogeneous steel plate at a distance of 500 meters. Furthermore, it is equipped with special bullets, such as armor-piercing incendiary rounds and armor-piercing high-explosive rounds, and its bullets are also specially customized, making them much more expensive than the assault rifle bullets next to them.
To be honest, Jiang Hai didn't expect Gong Jian to actually agree. However, from this, it could also be seen that Gong Jian sometimes spares no effort to cultivate good talents.
About half an hour later, Old Hei returned. During this time, Jiang Hai was not idle, but went back to continue his shooting training. Even if it didn't help him much, Jiang Hai didn't slack off.
Because he wanted to turn this shooting accuracy into his instinct. If he could hit the target without even aiming, that would be even better!
Gong Jian, who witnessed this scene, was filled with emotion. Talent is innate, but diligence is acquired. The most terrifying thing in this world is when someone is smarter than you, and also more diligent and persistent than you!
When Old Hei returned and took that big guy out of the car, Jiang Hai's eyes couldn't move away. If all men almost love weapons, then soldiers' love for weapons comes from the heart!
When this fierce guy was taken out of the car, Jiang Hai completely fell in love with it. Isn't there a saying that goes well? Caliber is justice!
"Come on, what are you waiting for?" Gong Jian looked at Jiang Hai's expression and found it amusing, so he said directly.
"Yes!" Jiang Hai stood at attention and answered, then ran over excitedly and took this heavy guy, weighing 26 catties, from Old Hei's hand!
With a length of nearly 1.4 meters, it was a behemoth compared to the Type 88 sniper rifle and similar weapons. The item in his hand was a rarity even in the Sharpshooter Fourth Company. When the surrounding soldiers training saw this thing, they immediately reported and gathered around.
