Shipborne Special Forces.

Although Shen Long was only there because of Wang Aiguo, Wang Aiguo was still a promising military officer. It's rare for him to be here leading troops, and then he gets nicknames like "Small-Eyed Squad" or "Spotlight Squad"—is that even fair?

"Forget it, let's not dwell on it. Anyway, he's already become an outstanding soldier, so I don't need to find a way to help him. Let's just leave it at that." With that thought, Shen Long breathed a slight sigh of relief.

……

The next day, everyone continued with their professional courses. To be honest, the Navy's professional courses are truly the most daunting of all the military branches.

Shooting, crawling, and weighted running are all training exercises that other units perform, but in the Navy, they are all just incidental.

In the last month, Wang Aiguo and others not only studied the professional courses required by the company, but also had practical training.

For example, Wang Aiguo's naval gun specialty required not only memorizing parameters, but also learning basic panel operation and emergency repair methods in a model room.

Of course, these things aren't particularly difficult, at least not for Wang Aiguo. He hardly needs to memorize them; a quick glance is enough to understand them.

However, after that, Wang Aiguo was shocked to discover that there was something even more outrageous in the naval profession... that is, memorizing fault codes.

It was only then that Wang Aiguo and others understood why college student soldiers were required to have engineering backgrounds, and why they had a particular preference for CNC or electronics-related subjects.

So, weapons and equipment are like CNC machine tools; they're prone to malfunctions, and when a malfunction occurs, a fault code will appear on the monitor. At that point, looking for a book is inappropriate. When a real malfunction occurs, you need to repair it as quickly as possible; there's no extra time to flip through books.

Then Wang Aiguo got a headache. Even the simplified version of this troubleshooting manual was a hundred pages long. If this were the complete version... well, let's just say it was a different story.

Of course, even Wang Aiguo found it a headache, let alone the others. Wang Aiguo had extreme confidence in his memory; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to recite the entire regulations manual.

The 100-page manual of common fault codes, though a bit troublesome to memorize, was not an impossible task for Wang Aiguo.

But Xiao Tian and the others were looking at the troubleshooting manual like it was some kind of ancient book. Especially You Jiang, who is supposed to be a college student, but he falls asleep as soon as he opens the book. I don't know how he even got into college.

"I suddenly feel that monks are so lucky. They don't have to take exams!" Youjiang said with longing as he held the troubleshooting manual in his hand.

Xiao Tian and the others nodded in agreement.

Wang Aiguo calmly sipped his coffee without saying a word. Recently, because he needed to memorize his lessons, he bought a whole box of Nescafé coffee from the convenience store.

A group of people watched Wang Aiguo sipping coffee and reading a book, and couldn't help but ask, "Three Hundred, how much of this have you memorized?"

"Not much, just a few pages," Wang Aiguo said casually.

Everyone looked at Wang Aiguo with strange expressions. To be honest, everyone thought Wang Aiguo was acting strangely.

Although no one wanted to admit it, there was a consensus in everyone's hearts: if anyone here could truly recite an entire troubleshooting manual from memory, it would only be Wang Aiguo. After all, Wang Aiguo was someone who could recite an entire regulations manual flawlessly with just a glance.

"Sanbai, I feel something's wrong with you. You memorized the entire regulations manual after only three days of reading it, but now half a month has passed, and you still haven't memorized these 100 pages?" Huang Gang moved closer to Wang Aiguo, staring intently into Wang Aiguo's eyes.

Looking into someone's eyes can reveal a lot. For example, it can reveal whether they feel guilty or sincere.

However, this tactic clearly failed against Wang Aiguo, because Huang Gang looked for a long time and found that all he could see was a crack.

"Your face is so big, and your eyes are so small, is that appropriate?" Huang Gang said, looking troubled as he looked away.

Wang Aiguo snorted dismissively. What's wrong with that? Small eyes can focus light, and history has proven that.

Seeing that Wang Aiguo didn't react, everyone could only continue memorizing their lessons. The graduation exam was just a few days away. There were no make-up exams in the recruit training camp; if you failed, they'd write "failed the recruit training camp assessment" on your file, and then who in the company would treat you well?

Seeing that no one was asking any more questions, Wang Aiguo continued to look down at the troubleshooting manual in his hand. To be honest, he really had memorized it all, but he couldn't say it, because if he did, a bunch of people might ask him to help them cheat on the exam.

Just then, Shen Long pushed open the door to Wang Aiguo's dormitory and rushed in.

As soon as Shen Long entered, Huang Gang immediately shouted, "Stand up, Captain Shen!"

"Alright, alright, no need to be so polite. Wang Aiguo, the brigade headquarters asked me to inform you of something," Shen Long said, looking at Wang Aiguo.

Wang Aiguo was taken aback. He had an instinctive feeling that whenever Shen Long contacted him, it was usually for something good.

"Captain Shen, what's wrong?"

"Oh, the battalion commander just held a meeting and said that all new recruits who receive the title of Outstanding Soldier this year must pass both the physical fitness test and the professional skills test, otherwise the title will be revoked."

After Shen Long finished speaking, Wang Aiguo immediately became restless. "What the hell? Is this how you play the game?"

"What's going on? Is the captain deliberately making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?" Wang Aiguo couldn't help but jump up and shout.

Shen Long glanced at Wang Aiguo with a complicated expression and said, "I'm not sure if it's difficult or not, but the captain still says that his breath smells like chicken manure."

Wang Aiguo: "..."

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out. It's been half a month. Even if they really ate chicken poop, it shouldn't still smell like it, let alone just a few chicken feathers. Besides, this mess shouldn't be my fault. Isn't this the fault of District Chief Jia and the quartermaster? Why should I take the blame?"

Shen Long sighed deeply, then pointed to Jia Qu and the quartermaster carrying cement downstairs and said, "They're carrying it too."

Wang Aiguo: "..."

Good grief, is this hurdle really insurmountable? Is it just like this, we can't get past it?

.......

As Shen Long walked, everyone looked at Wang Aiguo with pity. Wang Aiguo was inwardly filled with remorse, but he didn't show it on his face.

To be fair, physical fitness testing is a mandatory component of the test. Wang Aiguo started physical training as soon as he arrived, and now, six months later, although his physical fitness is still quite poor, he has made some progress.

Wang Aiguo can now run under 13 minutes and 40 seconds, but the problem is that his performance is very inconsistent. His best time is 13 minutes and 40 seconds, while his slower times are 13 minutes and 50 seconds or 55 seconds.
