YM778.TV Chapter 186 Training Starts
[Your bodies have been injected with genetic enhancers specifically tailored according to each of your bodies and would help in enhancing your genetics and increase your body power, coordination, speed and many more]
[However, these enhancers are inactive at the moment and the only way for you to activate them is for your body to undergo the exercises needed to push your body to really reach that realm. When your brain starts to imitate this in order to activate the enhancer, the enhancements will be reflected into your real bodies] Athena paused explaining for a moment, letting the soldiers digest the information she just gave them.
After a moment, she continued, [If it is like that, then, why are you inside the VR for the training, instead of just injecting your bodies with enhancers and letting you train in the real world? The reason is that, here I can make sure that you don\'t get tired to the point of dropping dead, so you will train until I tell you to stop without worrying about your bodies being harmed in the slightest]
[Also, in this virtual environment, you can be shot at and shoot others without dying in real life, so the training here will always be with live munitions and you will also be fighting a real war against enemies of my choosing, which will be no different from real war scenario]
[But, before we proceed, let\'s start with knowledge assimilation. As for what it is, you will understand its purpose when it is over] Athena said and immediately all the soldiers sat down, their bodies doing so automatically without any of them ordering their bodies to do so consciously, however, before they could even wonder how this had happened, a massive amount of knowledge began to be dumped into their mind, this included knowledge on weapons, the routine of exercises they should do in order to maximize the benefits they will be receiving from the genetic enhancements drugs.
Aron wanted it to be that way so that the soldier didn\'t merely receive the enhanced bodies simply for joining his army, rather, he wanted them to work hard for their bodies and be rewarded exactly what they had worked for, nothing more nothing less.
So, if you are lazy, you get little enhancements, and if you are a hard worker, you get the most of the enhancement serum.
[Now start running, I don\'t want to see any of you slacking around as sir Aron is watching everything] Athena commanded the moment the knowledge assimilation was concluded.
Hearing the order, the soldiers wasted no time and immediately started running towards the tracks on the stadium and started running by adopting a jogging manner, keeping a moderate speed since they knew they weren\'t stopping anytime soon, so preserving their stamina was important.
While they were running, they were using this time to constantly think about what the heck had just happened to them moments ago, reviewing through the knowledge they were assimilated with, they were now able to remember everything about weapons and tactics, something that they had never seen before, it was as if they had been using them for decades, but in reality, they haven\'t seen them even once.
...…
"How long is the cloud going to continue being sustained?" Aron asked, turning his head up to look at the ceiling, but he was actually seeing beyond it, watching the clouds with his glasses using the sensors built into the building to show him a view of beyond the ceiling.
The building had a massive sensor, the same technology that was used in the military headgear for the soldiers, but this was about a thousand times larger in size. It helped in seeing everything that was going on on the island, acting as the 3D CCTV, radar, lidar and every surveillance tech you can imagine, can be replaced by this massive sensor.
[No less than a week, I think it\'s about time you start casting the concealment rune on the building, or else you will be the talk of the world] Nova answered.
"I know, but at the moment I\'m just stuck on how I should program the concealment rune so that it gives the impression that something has been happening without revealing the completed projects which will scare them," Aron answered with a wry smile.
[How about you conceal the building but leave the infrastructure visible? It would be convincing if they could see that for the past months you have built the infrastructure and with the satellite images of the atomic printer, it will be convincing for them to believe that we managed to build a warehouse over the past few months] Nova suggested.
"That\'s a good plan. Let\'s implement it that way," Aron agreed, returning his gaze back to the feed that displayed the soldiers still running, after which he asked, "By the way, how long are they going to be running?" Aron watched the soldiers who had been running for more than fifteen hours in VR time, meaning that he had been watching them running for over an hour without stopping for even a second despite looking tired while Athena didn\'t seem to be thinking of letting them stop anytime soon.
[For five hours of real-world time, which will be immediately followed by them moving to another training session that will last for a total of two real-world days before they move on to weapons training and warfare training and mock war trial as a final test] Nova explained.
"Athena is brutal," Aron laughed, feeling slightly sorry for the soldiers.
[Well, she is responsible for overseeing the military, so I had to make her think like them so that there are no misunderstandings] Nova answered, despite knowing that Aron knew why Athena was like that.
"How did John react after receiving the news of Athena?" Aron inquired, wanting to know if John had any reservations about Athena\'s role.
[The moment he received the news, the two had a ten-hour meeting. In the meeting, they start by knowing about each other, followed by John asking about her jurisdictions and command level]
[Athena reported to him that her command level is the same as his, however, she will be spending most of her time overseeing the military in its entirety, while John will be responsible for handling the daily working of the military and every other matter with the secretary you assigned to him]
[Upon hearing that, John was glad since he was worried that due to him having no experience in leading such a massive group, he might be doing things in a wrong manner and since there was no one to tell him whether he is doing it wrong, his actions might cause troubles for you, however, now all of his worries were thrown out of the window so he was happy and no problems like infighting or power struggle against her nor did something similar occur since he trusts you and your judgment more than he trusts himself] Nova answered, explaining Aron with what happened during that meeting.
"Good. Now let\'s hope that Esparia doesn\'t cause any troubles in the mean..." Aron stopped himself from continuing any further, realizing that he was about to invoke the forbidden spell of trouble.
