Chapter 1990: It Could Be Team Leader Lin’s Natural Talent
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The data doesn’t seem quite right?”

Xu Lan’s words alerted Li Hang.

It was impossible to do this experiment a second time, and there was no chance for them to do a redo.

If they did not obtain accurate data during the experiment, it meant that the experiment had failed.

“The other indicators are acceptable, but Team Leader Lin’s bone density and muscle density are twice that of a normal person. This data is too abnormal,” Xu Lan said.

“If there’s an abnormality in these two indicators, it also means that there might be an abnormality in the other indicators. It’s just that it’s not so obvious and we didn’t discover it.”

Li Hang’s expression was ugly because what Xu Lan said made a lot of sense.

“Don’t worry. The next step is to send Team Leader Lin back to rest first. As for the rest, we’ll slowly discuss it in a meeting later.”

“Got it.”

Soon, the caregivers arrived. Once Lin Yi’s condition had slightly improved, they helped him to a bed and then wheeled him out of the laboratory. Fang Jing accompanied him, responsible for his post-experiment rest and care.

Meanwhile, in the lab, Li Hang and several senior members of Team 8 gathered to examine Lin Yi’s report.

Although the data was just basic, it still held significant reference value.

The report contained sixteen indicators.

However, the limit values on the report were not based on ordinary standards; they were tailored specifically for members of the Central Guards Brigade.

While these limits were much higher than those for ordinary people, Lin Yi’s indicators still exceeded these upper limits.

The most striking were his bone density and muscle density.

His bone density was twice the normal standard, which was beyond their acceptance.

A normal person’s bone density was about 1.228g/cm3. For a team leader-level member, it might reach around 1.72, which was considered the limit.

Even some B-level individuals might not reach such levels.

Yet Lin Yi’s bone density was an astonishing 2.471g/cm3.

It was more than double that of a normal person!

Similarly, his muscle density was also extraordinary.

A normal person’s muscle density was 1.12g/ml, while for members of the Central Guards Brigade, it averages around 1.6. But Lin Yi’s was 2.39, again more than double!

These abnormal indicators puzzled the researchers, making them doubt the reliability of the data.

They were more inclined to suspect a problem with the equipment rather than attribute it to Lin Yi’s exceptional talent.

“Are you sure there were no issues with the experimental procedures and data collection after the experiment started?”

“I am sure!”

“So am I!”

“I guarantee it with my military rank; there was absolutely no error,” Xu Lan asserted.

The group fell silent, unable to explain the anomaly.

This situation had never occurred before.

“Brother Li, if these two indicators are problematic, it suggests there’s an issue with the equipment.”

The young man speaking was Zhou Xueqiang, a veteran member of Team 8 and the second-in-command.

Zhou Xueqiang’s concern echoed that of the others.

If there was indeed an equipment issue, their efforts would have been in vain, and the higher-ups would be displeased.

“Brother Li, is it possible that Team Leader Lin’s bone density and muscle density are naturally this high, and the experiment didn’t go wrong?”

Xu Lan’s bold statement made the others perk up. This seemed like a plausible explanation.

“That’s unlikely,” Zhou Xueqiang said.

“Normal bone and muscle densities can’t be this high. Team Leader Lin is incredible, but he’s still human. His indicators can’t be that much higher than the norm.”

“But we can’t judge Team Leader Lin based on common sense,” Xu Lan said.

“Before this, who would have thought that Team Leader Lin would be able to pass this experiment?”

Xu Lan’s words stumped everyone.

Just like what she said just now, no one thought that Lin Yi could complete this experiment before this.

But in the end, he did persevere.

There was no earth-shattering roar. He gritted his teeth and silently endured it alone.

“I think that’s two different things,” Zhou Xueqiang said.

“Human willpower and endurance can be practiced after birth, but muscle density and bone density are natural indicators. No matter how strong Team Leader Lin is, he’s still an ordinary person. It’s really hard to believe this set of data.”

The two of them were in a deadlock. Neither of them had the intention to take a step back, so the atmosphere was stiff.

“Eh, why is everyone here?”

Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, Fang Jing walked in from outside.

Seeing everyone sitting together with worried expressions, he felt that something was amiss.

“How’s Team Leader Lin’s situation?”

Li Hang didn’t answer her question immediately. Instead, he asked about Lin Yi’s situation.

“Team Leader Lin’s physique is really abnormal,” Fang Jing said.

“When we pushed him back into the lounge, he got out of bed on his own. Other than being a little weak, there was nothing wrong with him. His physical fitness is simply abnormal.”

“As long as there’s no problem.”

Fang Jing nodded and swept her gaze across everyone.

“What’s going on here? The experiment has already ended. Why are you still gathered here?”

“There’s a problem with the experimental data. We’re trying to figure out a solution,” Xu Lan said.

“We’ve prepared so well beforehand and checked all the instruments. How could there be a problem?” Fang Jing said in surprise.

“It’s right here. Take a look for yourself.” Xu Lan handed over the lab report.

“It can’t be. The bone density and muscle density seem to be twice that of a normal person,” Fang Jing exclaimed.

“We’ve been researching this matter,” Xu Lan said.

“My idea is that Team Leader Lin is talented and might genuinely have such high bone density and muscle density, but Brother Zhou feels that there’s a problem with the experimental equipment and hasn’t thought of a solution.”

“Isn’t that simple? Other than feeling a little weak, Team Leader Lin’s mental state is very good. Wouldn’t it be fine if we just go over and take another test?”

As the saying goes, a stone stirs up a thousand waves, and a single sentence wakes up a person in a dream.

Fang Jing’s words shocked everyone in Team 8.

It seemed to make sense. Wouldn’t it be fine if they just tested his bone and muscle density?

“Sigh…”

Xu Lan and Zhou Xueqiang looked at each other and smiled. “If we knew this was going to happen, we wouldn’t have argued.”

Li Hang stood up and said happily,

“Let’s go and take a look at Team Leader Lin. If his physical condition allows, we can do an experiment. Team Leader Lin should be able to agree.”

“Let’s go,” Xu Lan said with a smile.

“But looking at Brother Zhou’s expression, he still seems to think that there’s a problem with the experimental data.”
