"It's true that hum hasn't been to Minos for a long time."
After hearing William's words, Halsey nodded in agreement and at the same time controlled the mouse to shut down her computer.
Then, she looked up at William who was already standing next to her and said, "Then let's go to Minos with Rebecca, how about it?"
"I'm just waiting for your words." Seeing that the purpose of this trip was achieved, William said to Serena who was standing behind him:
"Serena, notify Robert who is still in First Fleet, and ask him to rush to the Endless as soon as possible and go to Minos with us."
"Yes, boss."
―――――――
Time: June 8, 2019.
Location: Minos Island.
Local clock: 09:14.
On Saturday morning Minos, there was a dazzling sunrise, the unpolluted sky was extremely blue, and there were all kinds of seagulls flying around with their cries and likes to be mean.
Aerial view of Minos.
The appearance of the entire island now is basically the same as it was a few years ago, except that the degree of forest coverage has been reduced a lot.
The base building complex on the west side of the island has been transformed by Engineering Team so that it looks like a small city, rather than a base for training Superman recruits.
As for the divine body construction factory in the center of the island, since Spartan-II's training has ended, the construction of the divine body has long been stopped.
In order to ensure that the construction technology of the divine body would not be leaked, the manufacturing factory of the divine body was also dismantled a few years ago, and the files on how to build the divine body were sealed in the Hive archives.
The huge divine body storage space under Minos Island has also been transformed by Engineering Team, adding many training venues that simulate various environments such as cities, rainforests, and deserts.
At the same time, Underground Facility, which is close to the surface, has also been transformed by Engineering Team into a camp that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
After all, before Astartes Project was established, Minos Island had already begun to receive a steady stream of children with psychic powers for training and became the back-up of uss or Ghost Agent.
Now, Umbrella has also announced the existence of Sparta and Astartes, and is recruiting all young people of appropriate age and genetic matching.
Then it is expected that the scale of Astartes may be more than tens of thousands, so Minos Island's underground giant camp area can come in handy at this moment.
.
Minos Island's West Coast.
A large number of wooden stakes, barbed wire, high walls and other obstacles are set up on the beach to train the students on Minos Island.
Although today is Saturday, according to the weekly training plan for more than ten years, today is the day for all students on Minos Island to conduct various water-related training courses.
A large number of USS instructors wearing desert camouflage pants, white short-sleeves, and desert camouflage officer hats were training students wearing black short-sleeved shorts on the beach.
Throwing a large number of USS instructors on the beach, the total number of students was around five thousand.
Nearly three thousand students are the replacements of uss and Ghost Agent.
The remaining two thousand dollars are for the Astartes candidates who were selected at the beginning of the year.
According to the transformation surgery process of Rebecca and Halsey, a suitable candidate can be transformed from an ordinary person into a Super Soldier like Astartes within one and a half months at the earliest.
But the result of this is that as early as the beginning of the year, in the D-level personnel experiment, it was known that the combat power of Astartes without professional training was not qualified at all.
That's why it takes a year to carry out intensive training, and inject a certain amount of special T-Virus and vaccines into these suitable candidates every day to gradually improve the physical fitness of each suitable candidate.
By the first quarter of next year, these two thousand suitable candidates will be able to become Super Soldier, second only to Sparta, and also possess the fighting qualities of Sparta.
Five thousand trainees are scattered on the entire beach next to the base building complex, divided into groups according to age, grade and unit attributes, and are trained by a large number of USS instructors.
I saw students sitting on the beach holding a six-meter-long cypress tree together, with their backs bearing the impact of the waves, and even holding the cypress tree together to do sit-ups.
Or a group of people were held from the waist up to the sea surface, their heads were held down by USS instructors, and they were sent into the sea to practice holding their breath.
and crawling hundreds of meters under barbed wire within the reach of the waves.
Such high-intensity training can only end during the lunch break from 11:30 to 13:00 and at the end of the day at 17:00.
On Sundays every week, when various tactical explanations are given indoors all day long, these 'Children can get a real rest.
Although there is cruel devil training during the day, the training ends at 17:00 and after dinner, two hours of cultural classes are required.
But after 8pm every Monday to Saturday, that is, after cultural classes, students can get enough entertainment and recreation.
For example, each dormitory has a Microsoft host, and each student is also equipped with a powerful game laptop. There is no shortage of comics, handheld consoles, board games, and snacks.
And on the last two days of each month, the instructors will organize students to travel to Africa, Europe and other continents, or to the colonial suburbs in Solar System, or to the resorts of Luna to have fun.
Only by combining work and rest can we ensure the normal physical and mental health of this group of 'Children.
Of course, male and female instructors will also regularly explain some physiological knowledge to male and female students.
The suitable students of Astartes also receive these enlightenment educations.
Even two colonels, Hunk and Kent, jointly requested William two months ago that the company provide funds to allow these candidates to truly grow up before they undergo reconstructive surgery.
William also gave a very generous and direct approval and requested to select the best models in all human beings to make these suitable people become real men.
According to the estimates of Rebecca and Halsey, once you become Astartes, although your sexual function will not be lost, it will be extremely lacking.
Therefore, the two chief instructors, Hunk and Kent, hope that through a coming-of-age ceremony, suitable candidates can still have thoughts and fall in love even if they become Astartes.
After all, Umbrella doesn't want these Astartess to lose interest in women and end up in a family.
As William once said, one of the company's policies is people-oriented, and it is impossible to treat employees badly under any circumstances.

A lookout on the beach.
Hunk and Kent, who were also wearing instructor uniforms but had colonel rank pins on their left chests, stood on top of the nearly twenty-meter-high tower.
Now Hunk has finally been promoted from the original lieutenant to colonel, and together with Kent, he is in charge of everything on Minos Island.
"Colonel." At this time, the voice of the communications officer came from the earphones worn by the two people on their left ears:
"The Phantom that the boss is riding is expected to arrive over Minos Island in twenty minutes. Please get ready, two colonels."
