From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Spartan Project?

Newbie?

However, Lyon was a little confused.

He knew about the Spartan Project, which was the first super soldier project proposed and implemented by the UNSC.

The second phase was to be carried out by Katherine Elizabeth Halsey, but before the UNSC could officially implement the second phase plan, Halsey was secretly "kidnapped" by them.

Now, the Biology Department is going to launch the Spartan Project

Presumably, the Astartes, Gene Seed and other projects have already matured and become "formalized", so the Biology Department is preparing to create more choices of super soldiers for the company.

As for the newcomers.

Leon followed Ada's line of sight and saw young people with undisguised clarity in their eyes and childish faces.

Furthermore, most of the members have highly prosthetic bodies.

He should be a newcomer transferred from the experimental unit.

By this time, Leon's personal mobile phone also received the mission briefing.

Unlock the screen and take a quick look.

Leon then discovered that he needed to go to the Eridanus 2 star in the Halo universe with Aida to search for compatible people for the Spartan program.

The newcomers also need to travel to different galaxies and planets to contact compatible people between the ages of 5 and 8.

Wait a moment.

"Everyone!"

Seeing that all the people were present, Ada began to give orders:

"After that, we will go to the universe numbered 08, and form groups of two to contact the adaptors and their families on behalf of the Biology Department.

In this operation, you have a higher authority to allocate funds and communicate with the families of the adapters.

However, the communication results will be included as one of the criteria for your assessment, so please consider carefully your words and actions.

To become a qualified investigator, one must not only have strong physical and mental qualities, but also have relative language skills.

After all, in the future you may disguise yourself as different identities, or even different races, to infiltrate and sneak into the society of unknown forces.

At last.

As the Director of the Operations Division of the Investigation Department, I personally hope that you can all pass this assessment.

Even if you are not successfully selected, it does not mean that there is any problem with your own ability. It may just be that you are not suitable for the Investigation Department. "

Having said that, Ada glanced at the mechanical watch on her left wrist and continued:

"Okay, it's time to head to the Harvest Star on the other side of the space gate. Let's go."

After saying that, Ada turned around first and used the corridor to go directly to the space gate.

And Ada's figure was also the first to "integrate" into the mercury-textured space gate.

See this.

Leon could only shrug again and follow Ada.

"Is that the legendary investigator, Leon S. Kennedy? He's really good-looking, wow."

Looking at Leon's back, Rebecca couldn't help but become infatuated with him. As she approached the space door, she said to David and Lucy beside her:

"I heard that Chief Kennedy has been single for more than ten years and has kept himself clean. If we can get him."

"Pay attention to your image."

This time it was David who began to look helpless.

He had clearly left the experimental unit, and Lucy had applied for the investigation department as he expected.

However, I never expected that Rebecca and most of her comrades also chose to join the Investigation Department and wanted to become investigators.

It always feels like the scene he envisioned of teaming up with Lucy, investigating anomalies together, and then working together to resolve crises and warming up their relationship will never come true?

"I heard that the company's territory in Universe 08 covers the entire Milky Way." Lucy changed the subject and said:

"My previous dream was to go to the moon. Now, I hope to take this opportunity to appreciate the magnificence of the Milky Way."

As she spoke, Lucy saw that they were about to pass through the space gate, so she glanced at David beside her and said in a low voice:

"At the same time, I also hope that you and I can successfully complete the task and pass the assessment for our first solo teaming."

Hear the words.

David was stunned at first.

But he soon realized that Lucy seemed to be actively courting him.

Then he responded with a smile: "Of course! We can definitely pass the test!"

"Tsk, you two are bullying the singles again."

Rebecca rolled her eyes at the two of them in displeasure.

Next.

A group of sixty people, a total of thirty two-person teams, successfully crossed the space gate and arrived at the frontline base on the Star of Abundance.

Afterwards, the thirty teams, according to the assignment of their superiors, boarded the base's rail train and headed to the nearest vertical take-off and landing apron.

there.

They saw the "interstellar transportation" prepared in advance to help them quickly travel to different galaxies to contact the compatible people and their families.

The small airship in front of them was about twenty-five meters long, sixteen meters wide and ten meters high.

Its official name is "Atlas Eighth Generation Trial Cruise Fighter", and its nickname is "Archer".

The Archer fighter is not a traditional model like the Ghost and the White-legged Falcon. In addition to being equipped with a high-power nuclear fusion engine, it is also equipped with a micro jump engine.

This allows the Archer fighter to directly abandon the traditional models' reliance on motherships or bases, and expand its combat range to the entire galaxy.

However, given that the cost of one Archer fighter is equivalent to that of hundreds of Phantom 3 carrier-based aircraft, Atlas regards it as a special aircraft model.

It is used to facilitate special armed units, and can also abandon dependence on motherships or bases, and travel to different planets and star systems quickly and "silently".

Therefore, the Archer fighter is equipped with complete living and accommodation cabins, with a maximum passenger capacity of 6 people.

With the corresponding onboard stupid AI, even ordinary soldiers with no driving experience can safely control it.

Of course, only a real pilot can bring out the full performance of the Archer fighter.

Because after ordinary soldiers input the target location, the stupid AI will take over the control of the fighter.

If faced with a threat, the stupid AI will automatically engage in combat with the enemy based on the data model.

Experienced pilots can take control of the fighter plane during war and let the stupid AI assist in control.

In addition, the cabin holds enough living supplies to last six people for at least six months.

Therefore, when facing routine stealth and infiltration missions, special forces units do not need to worry about life supplies.

As for the Diana-class stealth ships, which are also convenient for special units, they will only be considered by special units when large-scale secret transfers and infiltrations are required.

Everyone arrived at the tarmac.

Immediately afterwards, thirty teams including Leon and Ada boarded thirty archer fighter planes that had been prepared long ago.

Enter the cabin.

Leon input the coordinates of "2 Eridanus" on the hard-light screen control panel, and then the stupid AI began to control the archer autonomously.

Levitation

Stow the landing gear,

It quickly went to high altitudes, and after leaving the atmosphere, the stupid AI accelerated immediately and opened a dark blue vortex leading to the jump space.

The whole process went smoothly.

Leon, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, didn't have to worry about anything as he and Ada entered the jump space.

After looking at the screen showing "Estimated arrival time remaining: 4 hours", Leon said to Ada who was sitting on it:

"Director Wang, you are so deliberate that you even used your position to cancel my vacation and drag me over to join your team."

"Don't be so conceited, rookie."

Ada directly interrupted Leon's analysis.

She left the co-pilot's seat and walked into the cabin.

"."

Looking at the figure that had haunted him, and seeing Ada walk through the gate and enter the cabin, Leon wanted to sigh, "What on earth are women thinking?"

But because Aida had also undergone genetic modification and might hear his complaints, Leon had to swallow his words.

then.

He also stood up, left the cockpit, and entered the cabin through the gate.

The space here is much smaller than that of a real ship, and the width of the corridor is about one and a half meters.

However, the Archer fighter has a built-in magnetic field that allows Leon and Ada to walk normally, which provides a lot of convenience.

Aida came to the living area in the middle of the fuselage and poured herself a cup of coffee. Then she sat at the fixed dining table and browsed the files related to the "Spartan Project" on the hard-light screen.

Lyon followed.

He made himself a cup of black tea and sat opposite Ada.

Seeing that Ada had no intention of talking, Leon also called up the files of the "Spartan Project" and began to read them quickly.

At the top of the file, it was marked "The planners and executors are Dr. Katherine Elizabeth Halsey and Dr. Alexia Ashford."

This shows that their company's "Spartan Project" is not as "simple and crude" as the Spartan II first proposed by the UNSC.

The company's "Spartan Project" candidates need to be selected from boys and girls who have not started development and have not entered puberty.

Because the main steps of the "Spartan Plan" are divided into three items.

1. Let the boys and girls who are suitable for the treatment inject nutrient containing Inquis serum every day.

Second, when the recipient enters puberty, the company's professional medical team will perform various transformation surgeries on him.

Third, once the candidate has completed all the transformation surgeries and passed puberty, the medical team will inject him or her with the final chemical agent.

The projects of the transformation surgery are:

"Occipital capillary reversal"

Carbon ceramic bone implants

Platinum thyroid implant

"Superconducting fibrotic dendrites".

Among them, the occipital lobe is the "visual central processor" of the brain. Reversing the direction of blood flow in the capillaries is to promote blood flow under the retinal rods and cones, which can greatly enhance visual perception.

Carbonized ceramic bone implants cover the bones of the recipient with carbonized ceramic materials.

Without affecting the original function of the bones, the adapter can be made "indestructible".

After being implanted into the thyroid gland, platinum particles can stimulate the growth of bones and muscles of the recipient, and combined with daily injections of Inquis nutrients, the recipient's physique can become stronger.

As for making the dendrites superconducting and fibrotic, it can increase the adapter's reaction speed by about 400%, and the adapter can also achieve the effect of "photographic memory".

The "Spartan Project" file in front of him only revealed a rough outline, but Leon always felt that his company's Spartan was like

"Low-profile" version of Astartes.

Although Leon's authority was not enough to understand the "production" process of Astartes, he knew about most of the transformation operations.

The Spartan transformation surgery procedure is a simplified Astartes adult surgery.

Also.

Lyon used his authority to retrieve the UNSC's SPARTAN-II files and compared them with the company's planned files.

He also discovered that the company's Spartans did not have to suffer from surgical complications such as permanent blindness, comminuted fractures, cardiac arrest, and Parkinson's disease.

After all, Atlas is very familiar with the steps of these transformation surgeries.

"Rookie."

At this moment, Ada glanced at Yang and asked:

"What do you think of the company's plan to launch the Spartan program?"

"I?"

Hearing this, Leon thought for a moment and said:

"I'm not sure, maybe it's to add a group of combat forces comparable to Astartes to our special operations team of the Investigation Department?

It is also possible that the company needs super soldiers like Sparta to perform special operations. "

"Ah."

Hearing Leon's answer, Ada nodded slightly.

Then, she waved her hand to dissipate the hard light screen, leaned forward, approached Leon, and said in a low voice:

“However, I heard from my superiors that the candidates recruited this time are actually just the company’s Spartan I warriors.

The Biological Department needs to obtain the most complete data through the adapter, for the purpose of...

When Ada said this, she leaned forward again, allowing Leon to feel her breath directly.

! !

This made Leon shudder all over, and he looked at Ada with confusion.

But Ada seemed to enjoy the process of "teasing" Leon.

She raised her left hand and put her index finger against Leon's forehead, forcing them to keep a certain distance from each other before continuing:

"The company does this so that it can convert them into adult auxiliary troops on a large scale to comprehensively enhance the strength of the Imperial Legion."

"Strengthen the strength of the Legion."

Leon was thoughtful.

"hehe."

Ada couldn't help but smile when she realized that Leon really started to think seriously.

Then she returned to her normal self, stopped teasing her subordinates, and said:

"There is no other way. The Biology Department sees that the mechanical army composed of Terminators and Hunters is almost completely replacing the clone soldiers. They naturally hope to continue to make more contributions to the company and the empire.

We only need to think about how to complete the task.”

After Ada finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the cabin.

Finally, she said to the somewhat confused Leon meaningfully:

"I'm going to take a rest. Please call me when you get to your destination."

?

Seeing Ada walk into the cabin, Leon became even more confused.

Didn't she just finish her coffee?

Why do you need to rest after drinking?

Could it be...?

Thinking of the "teachings" his old friend Mike gave him every day, Leon swallowed his saliva.

Then, with a determined look of "never coming back", he drank the tea in one gulp, stood up and walked towards the cabin.

-

Four hours later.

Under the control of the stupid AI, the Archer fighter successfully escaped from the jump space and returned to the real universe.

What appeared before Leon and Ada was one of the destinations of their trip——

2 stars in the constellation Eridanus.
