Jiang Yan Hai did not know what was going on with the regiment, but Special Forces 1st Battalion had indeed been fired up lately. He had not increased their training load, yet the company commanders and key personnel had long since selected their candidates for the competition.
Not only had they voluntarily increased their training, but they had also taken the lead in training themselves. Jiang Yan Hai said nothing. Every day, aside from reading and training himself, he spent the rest of his time watching them train—watching every soldier train.
He had Er Dan scan and record all the training data. And honestly, it killed several birds with one stone. Jiang Yan Hai went to the training grounds with a tablet in hand, reading and studying. Recently, he had been reading far more than just books related to flying.
He had also begun studying engine manufacturing, materials science, and other fields. His progress was quite good. Jiang Yan Hai suddenly realized that knowledge in many areas could be mutually verified, but most people were limited by their brains and could not grasp knowledge from so many disciplines at once.
On top of that, human knowledge had become far too vast, so its fields had been divided ever more finely. That had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was that people specializing in a field could become extremely skilled. The disadvantage was that research projects could take much longer to produce results.
Take materials science, for example. It actually involved multiple disciplines, including physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Even biology was needed.
If someone mastered all the knowledge in those fields, they could verify it against itself in their mind. Perhaps one day, inspiration would strike, and they would successfully develop a material.
But with specialization, at least four scientists proficient
