"You only used a little force?"
Academician Huang adjusted his glasses and glanced again at the utterly composed Chen Jue. After a moment's thought, he understood exactly where the problem with the base's equipment lay.
The researchers who designed these testing instruments had simply never seen a freak of a Transcendent Level human like Chen Jue.
The highest human physical stats they could imagine were, at most, a few dozen or a few hundred times above the human limit of "1" that an ordinary person reached after mastering the Ten Body-Tempering Forms.
After all, the equipment researchers were only ordinary people themselves. Their horizons were limited, and they thought along conventional lines, assuming that after a human entered the Transcendent Level, improvements in physical capabilities would follow a steady "1 + 1" progression.
Not make explosive leaps along a J-shaped exponential curve like Chen Jue.
That flaw in their reasoning had sent the development of this physical testing equipment in the wrong direction.
Ultimately, it came down to a lack of sample data to use as a reference.
"Since this Dynamometer can't measure your strength, let's try another approach."
"Based on what you've told us, I imagine nothing at the base can withstand your maximum strength."
"Even if we searched the entire world, we probably wouldn't find any equipment that could withstand your strength."
"We need to think differently!"
Academician Huang seemed to have thought of something and gave a few instructions to a white-coated staff member beside him.
"Think differently?" Chen Jue asked curiously.
"Exactly! Equipment is rigid, but people can adapt."
"Human strength has its limits, but our imagination is boundless."
"Last century, when we had next to nothing, we managed to develop an atomic bomb using abacuses. Measuring your strength won't be much of a problem," Academician
