196 Selection
Why did Zhao Hao set the age of his personal guards under twenty years old?
He then explained: "You should know that guarding Haotian Castle and Netherworld Valley is not a matter of a day or two. You can't even leave for a year or two, and those over twenty years old basically have families.
, I think you don’t want to leave your family behind and guard here for many years, right?”
There is indeed some truth to this. These days, it is normal for people to have a family at the age of seventeen or eighteen. At the age of twenty, they basically have a family. And guarding Haotian Castle and Netherworld Valley basically cannot bring a family with them.
.
Who would want to be separated from their man, woman, or even child, and spend all their lives guarding the southern barbarian mountains?
When everyone heard what he said, their faces were full of surprise.
Yes, people with families are indeed not suitable to guard here.
Actually, this is bullshit!
If Zhao Hao really wanted to consider his personal guards, he could build a city in a safe area across the river to house the families of those personal guards.
The reason why he requires that the personal guards must be under twenty years old is mainly to consider the qualifications of each person. After all, almost all those under twenty years old have been selected to become elite cavalry in recent years. Their basic foundation is basically
almost.
It's different for those over twenty years old. Some of these people may already have five to six hundred kilograms or even a thousand kilograms of strength before they join the Haotian tribe.
Tested.
Of course, he wouldn't say any of this.
He then continued: "Also, those under twenty years old and those with families can also consider not participating in the selection of personal guards. Well, these are the selection conditions. Now, those over twenty years old can stand up on their own.
, go to the back of the line, and those under twenty years old who don’t want to participate in the selection of personal guards can also go to the back.”
As soon as he said this, the elites from each battalion who were over twenty years old automatically stood up and lined up at the back of the school field. The number of people participating in the selection was suddenly reduced by less than half.
Some of those under twenty years old hesitated and stood at the back. There were only about a thousand people left in front.
When Zhao Hao saw this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, then pointed to the row of huge iron locks in front of him and said: "Now, everyone participating in the selection will come and try these iron locks, come one by one, the first one is a thousand
If you can't lift a thousand-jin iron lock, then stand behind it."
He asked Beishan's mother to prepare this iron lock. As for the one thousand kilograms, that was just a rough estimate. After all, he did not have standard weights, and it was impossible to cast an iron lock that was exactly one thousand kilograms.
However, since everyone is trying the same thing, it doesn't matter if there are some errors.
Everyone was still able to lift the thousand-jin iron lock with confidence. More than a thousand elite people came up one by one to try it, and naturally no one was eliminated.
When Zhao Hao saw this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Apparently, the fact that the elite members of the Haotian Department are all over a thousand pounds in strength was not just a random guess on his part, but it was true.
Then, he pointed to the second iron lock and said: "This iron lock weighs about 1,200 kilograms. Now, everyone comes up one by one to try. If you can't lift it, again, stand up and lift it yourself."
Go behind."
A 1,200-pound iron lock is a bit challenging for many people. After all, everyone's qualifications cannot be the same. Even if they are the same age, they will receive similar amounts of exotic animal meat. After a few years, their strength will increase.
There is definitely still a gap.
More than a thousand elites began to come forward one by one to test again.
Those who could lift it up naturally returned to their original position happily.
Those who couldn't lift it could only stand back dejectedly.
After this round, two to three hundred people were eliminated directly, leaving only more than 700 people.
Zhao Hao saw this, thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said: "Now, the remaining people will line up to the right first, stand tighter, and leave the left side free."
This queue or something, the elites of the Haotian Department have been training for more than a day or two. As soon as he pointed his hand, the remaining 700 or so people immediately hurried to the right and quickly formed a neat array.
.
Zhao Hao nodded happily, then pointed to the third iron lock and said: "This iron lock weighs about 1,500 kilograms. Now, everyone should come up one by one to try it. Those who can lift it should line up on the left.
If you can't lift it, go back to the right."
This means that even if you can't pick it up, you won't necessarily be eliminated. After hearing what he said, the remaining elites finally felt less nervous.
More than 700 people came up one by one to try, and only about 100 people could pass the test. The remaining 600 or so people returned to the right.
Gaining 300 kilograms this time is no joke. You must know that with similar qualifications, everyone's strength will only be a few dozen kilograms at most. Even hundreds of kilograms are impossible. Three hundred kilograms is a big hurdle.
, only people with very good qualifications can have so much more energy than others at once.
In other words, among the elites of the Haotian Department, there are not many with good qualifications, maybe only one or two hundred people in total.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this.
Alas, it seems that there are not many talented people in the Haotian Department.
The next step is to select among the remaining 600 people. So, how to select? There is no iron lock between 1,200 jins and 1,500 jins.
Zhao Hao was naturally prepared for this.
He directly took out two small iron locks from behind and hung them on the 1,200 kilogram iron lock. Then he waved his hand and said: "Now, the people on the right will try this again. Those who can lift it, go to the left.
If you're in line and can't lift it, go back to the right."
These two small iron locks weigh about one hundred kilograms each. If two smaller ones are hung on the one thousand two hundred kilogram iron lock, the total will be about one thousand four hundred kilograms.
This weight seems a bit heavy for the remaining elites. There are still only more than a hundred people who can pass the test, and there are more than four hundred people left on the right.
Zhao Hao directly took off a small iron lock and continued: "Let's try the remaining ones on the right. It's still the same old rule. Those who can lift it stand on the left side, and those who can't lift it go back to the right side."
If one person is removed, it will be about 1,300 kilograms. This time, more people can pass the test. The team on the left suddenly has more than 200 people, while the team on the right has less than 200 people left.
.
Zhao Hao was embarrassed to find that after this round, the number of people on the left had exceeded 500.
What to do now?
Could it be that we try another small iron lock weighing 50 pounds?
The problem is, he didn’t prepare a fifty-pound iron lock!
This is really a bit embarrassing.
He stood there and thought for a while, then simply waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone on the right should stand behind. The rest on the left will be my personal guards from now on."
Damn it, we still need to select corps commanders, captains, captains, etc., just dozens more.
A tense selection ended just like this. Those who were selected were naturally smiling, while those who were eliminated were basically dejected.
Chapter completed!
