Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Flying armored robots was many people's dream. After all, who doesn't want to fly in the sky while operating a huge Armored Robot and killing millions of enemies?

There were a total of 150 armored robots. Currently, there were 5,000 people in line, all of them waiting to take the test, one at a time.

Testing to see if one has the ability to operate an armored robot came with certain risks, so there were several technicians from the Institute of Technology on standby. Once someone was unable to bear the pressure, these technicians would stop the test immediately.

Steve, Sofia, and Lucy were among the last few in line, so it would be quite some time before it their turns to test arrived. At the Institute of Technology, while hundreds of technicians were paying close attention to the data of Armored Robots test, Lieutenant Leopold, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the armored robots, was also present, along with several other commanders.

"Armored robots play a very important role in the battlefield. Unfortunately, the number of qualified new recruits in each batch is too small. We don't even have a 100 armored robot soldiers in total." Leopold felt helpless. There were more than 100 armored robots in the military base, but there were not even 100 soldiers who had the potential to operate them.

"This year's recruits are better than ever. Maybe more armored robots soldiers will appear among them." Sergeant Major Vanessa watched the recruits.

"Steve did a great job last night. He might have hope of becoming an armored robots soldier." Quentin's words resonated with everyone.

Everyone could not help but look at Steve, who had clearly been the most outstanding recruit last night. He did not just excel in one aspect, but was almost perfect in all aspects.

"In addition to Steve, there were a few others who were also quite good. Although Stuart was cunning, his potential cannot be ignored. Allen, Andrew, Sofia and Lucy were also impressive." All of these people mentioned by Spencer had performed outstandingly.

"They do have potential, but the talent required for the armored robots deals directly with the activation of the brain and the intensity of the brain waves. Some people are indeed powerful, but that does not necessarily mean that they are suitable for the operation of armed armor." Leopold's face was calm.

Several people became silent, knowing that this was indeed the truth. During the previous tests, there were no shortages of powerful soldiers, but in the end, their activations of the brain were too weak to withstand the mental stress of the armored robots. In the end, they had to give up on becoming armored robots soldiers.

"The first batch of testing has started, so let's watch them quietly. Hopefully, more armored robots soldiers will appear among this batch." Vanessa prayed.

In the Institute of Technology, the big screen began to display the data of the first batch of recruits. On more than 100 screens, more than 100 soldiers were encased in a layer of Nerve Armor.

The Nerve Armor was directly linked to the armored robots. Once the conformation was successful, any movements the person in the armored robot made would allow the robot to perform corresponding actions on the outside.

"The body conformation test begins. 1%... 2%..." As the announcement rang out, the nerve lines inside the Nerve Armor began to come into contact with the body, and the pressure of the armored robot would act directly on all parts of the body.

"50%... 60%... 70%..." Just as the level of conformation had reached 70%, half of the soldiers on the screen had already reached their physical limits, causing red warning lights to start flashing.

"No. 2, No. 7, No. 18... You've all failed! Stop the test!" As Research Director of the Armored Robots, Derek gave the order immediately, causing 74 sets of armored robots to stop testing.

After the 70% mark, some of the soldiers gave up, as they were unable to withstand the physical pressure of the armored robots. When the level of conformation reached 100%, only a handful of recruits remained out of the initial 150.

"The first round of physical testing is over. A total of 23 people passed. Next, we will start the second round of Brain Wave Fusion Testing," Derek announced the results.

Leopold's eyebrows furrowed, and the expressions on the others' faces were also solemn. Out of 150 people, only 23 people were left! That elimination probability was too high!

"In the past, there would be at least 30 people left, but now there are not even 30 people left. These results are much worse than I had expected," Vanessa said.

"It's only the first round. Maybe it'll be better later on." Quentin tried to comfort her.

At that moment, the second round of Brain Wave Fusion Testing began. The first round had combined the operating pressure of the armored robot with the body. The second round would connect the pressure on the body to the nerves in the brain. This would cause a huge impact on the brain.

It would be as if the body was under a hundred times the pressure, but the body would not feel it, as the nerves of the brain would be temporarily isolated. But, if the brain were to be linked to the hundredfold pressure, the huge impact on the nerves would destroy the brain, so not everyone could bear this kind of impact.

"Brain wave fusion! 1%... 2%... 3%... 4%... 5%..."

The brain wave fusion was a gradual process. It had to be this way in order to prevent the brain from getting destroyed by the huge impacts. It was just like turning on the tap, as turning it on slowly allows a little bit of pressure at a time to be released, thus allowing the brain waves to merge bit by bit.

On the big screen, the expressions on the remaining 23 people's faces began to change. Most of them were pale, and sweat was beading on their foreheads, even when the fusion level was only at 5%!

"No. 93 has reached the limit! Stop testing!"

Right at the beginning, some people were already unable to bear the pain coming from their bodies and had to stop the test.

"12%..."

"No. 46 has reached the limit! Stop testing!"

"18%..."

"No. 58 has reached the limit! Stop testing!"

More and more people were forced to stop testing as the nerve-borne pain grew stronger and stronger...

"32%..."

"No. 108 has reached the limit! Stop testing."

"This round of testing is over!" When the technicians made the final announcement, sighs of relief could be heard all over the place.

However, none of the 150 people had passed. Even the best performer did not reach the 32% fusion level in the second round. Such a result was considered very bad, even if they were to compare it to the previous tests!

Leopold and the others were originally full of confidence in this batch of recruits, but when they saw the results of this round of testing, they were discouraged. This was worst outcome ever!

"Let's start the second test soon!" Leopold's face remained calm and nothing unusual could be detected on his face.

"It's just the first round of testing. Maybe it will get better." Vanessa tried to be reassuring.
