The Strongest Brain in the Interstellar

Chapter 83 - Adaptation



“Hey, hey…” Jiang Hui paused at a resting point, gasping for breath. She had over ten kilometers left to complete her target for today.

Right now, it was the military training period of the semester, and students from various majors were undergoing similar training. However, those in the Combat Program needed to endure training that was several times more challenging than that of ordinary students. After all, they were essentially the reserves for soldiers and couldn’t simply go through an easy, superficial training regimen.

What constitutes a “superficial training regimen”? In reality, genuine military training doesn’t involve such a concept.

Military training naturally needs to align with the standards of actual military training. However, since they were still students, and most of the majors would not delve deeply into military life afterward, the school wouldn’t assign overly difficult tasks to ordinary students, considering their physical capabilities.

Tasks such as standing at attention, saluting, various marching formations, as well as military exercises, military theory classes, and internal affairs classes, were all standard parts of military training for students on Blue Star. It’s just that the names of these tasks were different in the interstellar context.

But since Jiang Hui had gone through military training multiple times, she understood what these activities were as soon as they started; they were essentially similar to what she had experienced before.

Because these tasks are the daily basics for soldiers, they are practiced during recruitment and have almost become second nature. Now, they are being scaled down to half and then half again for the students, aiming to instill military demeanor and allow them to fully experience the spirit of marching. These are the foundational projects of military training, often referred to as “superficial forms.”

However, for the Combat Program and other military-related majors, these are merely foundational courses. Since they will eventually enter real battlefields, training related to military appearance and demeanor cannot meet their combat needs.

They require deeper and more practical training, such as extreme physical and stamina training, as well as specific projects like shooting, night exercises, orientation cross-country, and even individual and group combat scenarios in the later stages of military training.

The learning process for them began from the very start of the semester. The intensity of daily training was often more than ten times that of regular students, and sometimes even stronger. As a result, they were the first to arrive at the training grounds and the last to arrive at the dining hall for meals. Their grueling training drew sympathy from other majors who watched them.

Jiang Hui was naturally one of them. Initially doubtful of her ability to meet such high standards, she couldn’t believe they were set so high. But after persistent effort, she surprisingly made some progress.

At first, she could barely run less than twenty laps. However, after a week, she could run about forty laps, effectively doubling her distance. On days when she felt particularly good, she could even run further. Moreover, after completing her runs, she could also participate in the daily training led by Instructor Stark. She had to admit that perseverance had indeed produced some results.

The students also discovered that their instructor’s method for training physical fitness and stamina was quite simple; the way to enforce discipline was the same: just running laps. Punishments consisted of running laps, and as long as they didn’t collapse, they were pushed to their limits.

In addition to basic training, the instructor often had the students do long-distance runs, cross-country jumps, horse stances, flat supports, push-ups, and one-handed handstands… it was entirely a brutal, animalistic training method.

This group of students, who had been all smiles and full of energy during the pre-semester meeting, could now only manage long faces after just a week of grueling workouts. With such high-intensity training every day, it wasn’t just the physically stronger ones who felt they were about to collapse; for those with weaker physiques, it was sheer torture.

Jiang Hui actually fell into the weaker category; her physical fitness and stamina levels were quite low. Although she wasn’t at the very bottom, she wasn’t far from it. After several days of training, she had only made slight improvements, and she still lagged far behind the top performers in her class.

However, she did have one ultimate secret weapon—thanks to the existence of the spiritual space, she could get relatively good rest every day. Although the space seemed unable to help her recover physically from the fatigue, she was always mentally well-rested and hadn’t yet experienced fatigue or weariness from the high-intensity training.

During these times, Jiang Hui was incredibly grateful for this unexpectedly beneficial spiritual space. If it weren’t for its existence, she wouldn’t have even been able to endure three days of this grueling schedule.

Oh my God, she never knew she had such endurance. After being trained to the point of exhaustion, she was still able to get up on time every day for training. Even with the support of the spiritual space, it felt a bit outrageous.

The few students in the class who didn’t have any advantages and whose physical fitness was also quite poor were suffering. They had barely managed to endure a few days of training and were almost unable to run anymore. Although their bodies were forcibly supplemented with nutrients, that kind of mental exhaustion and fatigue couldn’t be remedied.

Some of them didn’t even want to enroll in this program; some were simply not suited for it physically, yet they came in for personal reasons. They had no mental preparation and lacked a foundation, so under such high-intensity training, it was natural they couldn’t hold on.

For example, there was a classmate named Chen Wenbai, with whom Jiang Hui had talked a few times. After a week of training, he had fainted multiple times and was on the injured list every day, walking into the training ground only to be carried back out each time.

Even a strict instructor like Stark had to consider his physical condition and let him slide a bit, turning a blind eye to the situation.

However, aside from him, the other students with weaker physiques had no choice but to undergo the same high-intensity training. No matter what they said, it didn’t matter.

During this period, Instructor Stark had contacted Jiang Hui once after class and took her to the medical office to see Lu Jin for a physical examination, with the purpose of checking on her suddenly emerging internal closed cerebral domain treatment.

However, Lu Jin said he was still young and not very skilled in this area, so he might need his teacher to step in.

Unfortunately, Therapist Michael was not a permanent resident in the star system; he only had some businesses here and came by occasionally to inspect. So if Jiang Hui really wanted treatment, she might have to wait until he had time to come, which would be several months down the line.

Therefore, Lu Jin suggested that Jiang Hui temporarily ignore this issue for now. If she was really worried about it affecting her school courses, she could start with conservative self-recovery, such as daily small exercises to release and gather her mental energy or regularly clearing her mental energy.

Jiang Hui could understand the former, as she had done similar exercises after returning from the local hospital, which were akin to eye exercises for her eyes. But as for the latter… how was she supposed to clear her mental energy?

Then Instructor Stark seemed to nod in understanding.

Jiang Hui suddenly had a bad premonition.
