Aunt Harrell, who came to deliver food, became Gao Qi's first test subject.
Aunt Harrell was in her fifties. Her body was shriveled, and her face was full of wrinkles. The hard life in the Wasteland made her look much older than her actual age. Long-term labor and malnutrition made her the common image of the Wasteland women.
Gao Qi and the others didn't care, but Aunt Harrell didn't know that she had become a part of an epoch-making experiment. If someone recorded it, she would be remembered in history.
Aunt Harrell held the water pipe with a confused expression, and then the water inside slowly rose about a meter.
The one-inch flexible pipe was about 13 meters long, and the volume of one meter was about half a liter of water. Two liters of water occupied about four meters of length. Niu Lidong could extend the water column to about three meters, and Anna could extend it to nine meters.
It was just a rough estimate, and there was no way to accurately calculate it, but it was enough.
After sending the confused Aunt Harrell away, Gao Qi wrote down the data on a piece of paper with a pen.
Niu Lidong 3, Anna 5, Harrell 1.
If the average was to be taken, the difference between the three people was obviously too big, and the sample was too small.
"I want the whole village to test it."
After saying this without hesitation, Gao Qi said to Niu Lidong, "Go and invite Mark here. I want to talk to him."
As a Wasteland, and obviously a Wasteland village that wasn't very strong, even if they couldn't fulfill every request, they had to try their best to satisfy Gao Qi's request.
Mark arrived soon, with his son.
Gao Qi pointed at the water pipe, and said with a smile that he thought was friendly, "Please hold the pipe, I want to …"
What did he want to do? How should he explain it? Tell them that this was an experiment to test whether they could become a Psychic? If he said it directly, it would seem that he lacked the awareness of confidentiality.
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Anna and said, "How should I explain it?"
"What's there to explain? Just let him do it."
Anna pointed at the pipe and mumbled something to Mark. Then, Mark grasped the pipe with a bewildered expression.
The water column extended by two meters.
It was another number with a huge deviation. Gao Qi looked at Mark's son.
Mark's son was called Hart. He was born after the Cataclysm and was only 24 years old this year. Therefore, in terms of knowledge and experience, Hart was far from being comparable to his father. Moreover, Hart had the typical boorish and rude personality of a wasteland dweller, but in terms of physical strength, he was far stronger than his father.
Hart didn't hesitate to grab the tube. Then he looked at Anna and said, "What are you doing? What happened to your face and hair? "
As a young man, Hart couldn't hide his admiration for Anna because it was impossible for a young man with eyes and a perfect sense of beauty to not have any thoughts about Anna.
Gao Qi hated this kind of gaze. No matter who it was, he hated it.
However, Hart's spiritual power was actually stronger than Niu Lidong and Anna's. The water column rushed directly to the other end of the pipe, which was only a meter away. Rough estimation, it should have extended by about seven to eight meters.
Gao Qi directly wrote down an eight. Then he said to Anna, "You can let them go now. Tell Mark to get everyone in the village to come here. You can make up a reason."
Mark was a little surprised, and Hart only secretly looked at Anna. After thinking for a moment, Anna said to Mark, "We need to understand the situation. Gather everyone here and give each of them two bullets as a reward."
Mark finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Anna thought for a moment and said, "This is a test, a test to see if you …"
Anna was not a good liar, so she was stumped. Mark, on the other hand, said nervously, "Test what? Is this an ability detector? "
Looking at the extremely simple pipe, Anna took a deep breath and said to Gao Qi, "I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say. I'm not good at lying."
Gao Qi was still thinking of a reason, but Niu Lidong said, "Tell him to stop talking nonsense and quickly call people here. Don't be polite to the desolate people. The more polite you are, the more troublesome it will be."
Anna translated Niu Lidong's words with a complicated expression. Mark hesitated for a while, but finally left helplessly.
Then, the entire village of desolate people gathered outside the door of Gao Qi's room.
In this unnamed village of desolate people, there were nine adult males, fourteen adult females, and fifteen children of various ages. This was the total number of desolate people in the village.
There were men, women, old, and young, all in line with Gao Qi's requirements for a variety of experimental samples. There was nothing much to say, so he called them in one by one to take turns.
Anna and Niu Lidong were in charge of the test, and Gao Qi was in charge of recording. While waiting for the next tester to come in, he couldn't help but mumble.
“3，5，1，2，8，2，1，2，4，3，2，1，2，2，3，2，2，2，1，3，。”
There was no way to make it particularly accurate, but it didn't need to be, as long as it was an approximate value.
Gao Qi was muttering to himself. Looking at the bigger numbers, the most common number was 2, which was two meters. Three meters was less common, but it was still considered common. Five meters was an excellent standard, and eight meters was extremely excellent.
Then how many meters could a real ability user send the water column? Gao Qi began to plan to find an ability user. Only by comparing with ability users of different levels could he know the difference between ordinary people and ability users. Only then could he know what value was closest to the awakening level.
A young boy carrying a Ruger mini 14 rifle walked in. He was wearing a tattered woolen hat. After learning about the test from his companions, he didn't wait for Anna's instructions. He walked up to the water pipe and grabbed it without waiting for Anna's instructions.
He didn't need to do anything, he just had to hold the pipe and leave. When the experiment got a little boring, Gao Qi, Niu Lidong, and the boy didn't pay much attention to the experiment.
But this time, the result was different. Water violently spurted out from the pipe, and the water column rushed to the roof like a fountain. The overly strong water column hit the roof and splashed everywhere, splashing water on everyone in the room.
The small notebook in front of him was dripping with water. Gao Qi subconsciously reached out to wipe the water droplets and shouted, "F * ck!"
Niu Lidong, who was holding the hose in one hand, looked at the boy. Anna, who was next to the boy, was stunned.
The boy was also stunned. Then, he suddenly shouted a few times, turned around, and ran out.
"He said it wasn't me who broke it …"
Anna said in a daze. She looked at Gao Qi and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a genius?"
Gao Qi finally came back to his senses. He said loudly, "In the past, he was a potential mutant. Now, he's a reserve ability user. This boy is a treasure!"
