The best and the worst made history, while the mediocre reproduced the race.
No one knew which bastard said it, but mankind's strong will to survive had dealt a heavy blow to the Zergs, who claimed to be able to reproduce infinitely. After entering the interstellar space age, mankind's population had broken through the 30 billion mark.
Of course, this included humans, Ivantians, Kaedeians, and other mixed-bloods.
The Pan-Solar System Alliance adhered to the idea of deepening the Solar System and building the Solar System into the home of mankind. Due to its special significance and advantageous conditions, Earth would always be the center. … Even though there was no advantage in terms of living conditions.
The Moon, as the home of the Ivantians, had weathered the baptism of war and time. Now, it had become the center of technology and culture.
Mars had also become an important planet for mankind. Ceres, which was located between Mars and Jupiter, had also been fully developed, and was equivalent to the Moon of Mars.
Venus, on the other hand, was the only new breakthrough point. The other planets in the solar system did not have the potential to be developed, so instead of developing them, it was better to build space cities. However, ever since the development of the space warp technology, mankind had tried and failed for hundreds of years. Finally, they found three planets in the Andromeda Galaxy that were suitable for human habitation. They were named Dawn, Hope, and Alpha. They were places similar to Earth, and with the current technology and population, they quickly became the second home of mankind.
In the last hundred years, mankind had another breakthrough. A space exploration team called Norton discovered a planet suitable for human habitation when they jumped into the Sagittarius Galaxy. This planet was named Norton, which was similar to the discovery of a new continent in ancient times. The exploration team became super-rich overnight. This was a success that could only happen once in hundreds of thousands of times.
"The spaceship to Norton in the Sagittarius Galaxy is about to depart. Passengers, please board the ship as soon as possible."
The beautiful voice of the space lady was always captivating.
At the boarding gate of the spaceship, a group of people were waving their hands vigorously. The people on the spaceship were also cheering. However, everyone's eyes were filled with longing.
This was the fifth batch of pioneers to be sent to Norton. The three planets in the Andromeda Galaxy were paradise for human immigrants. After three hundred years of construction, they had developed a complete set of advanced living facilities. All aspects of welfare, education, and military defense were at the standard of the Solar System, or even higher. But Norton … was still too primitive, especially with the pervasive Zerg race. They were as tenacious as the ancient cockroaches on Earth, and had evolved along with the evolution of humans.
This was the second phase of Norton's development plan. Those who were willing to go to such places were mostly those who did not have a good life and hoped to improve their lives during the two years on Norton.
However, there was a rather young figure in the crowd, at most 14 or 15 years old. The boy looked at the send-off area, where a red-nosed old man was waving his hat with all his might. The old man's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had been crying. What was the reason for sending such a young child on such a spaceship?
When the boarding gate of the spaceship was retracted, the people who were sending the child off were in a frenzy. The old man was also jumping up and down, hoping to see his child one last time.
Wang Tong looked at the "excited" old man, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He slowly raised his right hand, and then solemnly raised his middle finger. He shouted, "Old fart, I will teach you a lesson when I come back!"
The old man was still waving his hand, but one of his fingers was raised high, and his face was filled with a sinister smile.
In the year 2565, Wang Tong, who had never left Shangjing, left home for the first time, and went to the goddamn remote Norton. For a young man who had just celebrated his fifteenth birthday, it was a heavy blow to him.
Traveling ten thousand miles was not as good as reading ten thousand books. However, the journey to the Sagittarius Constellation was more than ten thousand … miles, and it had to be explained from the beginning.
Wang Tong was an orphan, and it was said that his parents were martyrs, and he was adopted by a kind old man. However, when Wang Tong grew up, he realized that the old man was only doing it for the government's subsidies. Now that the welfare system had improved, Wang Tong wasn't mistreated by the government. However, as a motivated young man, he naturally wanted to become a soldier.
About three hundred years ago, a brilliant General Li Feng appeared in the history of mankind. He was also known as the Admiral of the Seven Stars. He was the only Admiral of the Seven Stars in the history of mankind. He represented the respect of humans, Ivantians, and Kaedeians for him. At that time, mankind had just learned how to use the Dimensional Jump technology, but the Kaedeians were attacked by the Kaedeians. Of course, the Kaedeians were defeated and became part of the human race. However, the real disaster that followed was the Zergs. The Zergs were a horrifying race that thrived on destroying civilizations. General Li Feng led mankind to wage a war against the Zergs that lasted for thirty years. The Zergs suffered great losses during the war, and one of the legends was the Blade Warrior. Later generations believed that General Li Feng and the Blade Warrior were the same person, but there was no concrete evidence.
Towards the end of the war, the Zergs began to evolve. Many of the Zergs had evolved to the point where energy weapons were ineffective against them. This was a huge blow to the human race, and it almost cost them the victory that was within their grasp. At that time, the FFC Corporation invented a new type of weapon, the METAL Suit. In other words, it was a weapon that could activate the GN Force of the human race. The invention of this weapon allowed the human race to achieve the final victory.
However, the Zergs were an indestructible race. For the next four hundred years, humans and the Zergs competed in terms of reproduction and speed of evolution. Of course, the Zergs evolved physically, while the humans evolved technologically.
The METAL Suits had also replaced the Mech Suits as the main force in the war against the Zergs. Therefore, the number of human warriors had become crucial, and during those crucial times, humans had been encouraged to reproduce.
The combat power of humans was broken down into three main components: the eighth brain region (commonly known as the EMF), the GN Force, and the METAL Suit.
Geno GN Force was a magical power that existed in the human genetic chain. When it was unleashed, the human body would be able to unleash the power of the geno GN Force, and even the terrifying Zergs would have to bow down to it. METAL Suits, on the other hand, were able to maximize the power of the geno GN Force, and at the same time, increase the defense of the human body, as well as the ability to adapt to different living environments.
The key to activating the GN Force was the eighth brain region. Only when the eighth brain region was activated could humans use the power. The process of activating the GN Force was very simple, and the success rate was very high. Otherwise, humans would not be able to fight against the Zergs, who were known for their overwhelming numbers.
The GN Force was like a human's arsenal, and this was something that could not be changed. There was not much difference between humans and Ivantians. Although the Ivantians had the ability to modify their genes, it was only the surface of their genes, and it had nothing to do with the GN Force. The GN Force was also commonly known as talent. Therefore, the bloodline was very important because the GN Force could be inherited, and it determined the growth of a warrior.
Other than the GN Force, the power of the METAL Suit depended on the warrior's wealth. Normal METAL Suits could only maximize the power of the GN Force, but some high-quality METAL Suits could increase the power of the GN Force. Of course, the price of the METAL Suit was not cheap. Otherwise, how could the FFC company become one of the three major human army factories?
However, these were all external factors. The warrior himself could determine the strength of the eighth brain region. The stronger the eighth brain region was, the more he could unleash the power of his GN Force. Humans, Ivantians, and Kaedeians had formed a complete set of basic systems to train the eighth brain region. The aristocratic families also had their own unique secret arts, which they did not share with outsiders.
The most powerful one was the Tactics of Ares in the Hall of Valhalla. It was created by the Seven Stars General Li Feng, and only those who joined the Hall of Valhalla could learn it. It was said that the Hall of Valhalla was located in a subspace.
However, Wang Tong had finally reached the age where he could activate his GN Force. Once he successfully activated his GN Force, he would have the opportunity to study in a military academy. Even if it was a third-rate academy, Wang Tong would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future!
But … but … the old man had traded his eighth brain region's free activation pass for alcohol … According to the old man, he had accidentally …
The opportunity to activate his GN Force was only available once a citizen reached the legal age of fifteen. However, Old Fart had traded such a precious opportunity for a bottle of wine … no, two bottles!
Wang Tong didn't have to go to Norton for two years to develop his GN Force at his own expense. However, Old Fart had already registered him for a fee, and if he were to break the contract, Wang Tong would be in debt. Therefore, he had no choice but to earn his first bucket of gold.
Wang Tong sighed as he gazed at the starry sky outside. He had no idea what the future would bring. Actually, he wasn't blaming Old Fart. Although Old Fart had a lot of shortcomings, he had given Wang Tong a home instead of staying in a cold orphanage. Perhaps there would be some good opportunities waiting for him on Norton. Maybe he could become a young tycoon and return to his hometown with a silver spoon in his mouth. When that time comes, Wang Tong would be able to throw everything away.
Wang Tong's biggest strength was his optimism.
"Dear passengers, we are about to enter a twofold curvature flight. Your Spaceship will arrive at the space station in twenty-five Earths and proceed with a Space-Jump. You will arrive at your destination in one hundred and twenty Earths. Please take a deep sleep during this period to ensure your health."
The spaceship's voice was still as sweet as ever, but the surrounding passengers couldn't help but curse. However, it couldn't be helped since sleep was the most important thing to do. Moreover, their Spaceship wasn't a first-class cabin, so it wasn't comfortable to enter a curvature flight. The government had always been stingy towards the poor.
Wang Tong didn't mind at all since there was nothing to see once he entered a curvature flight. Besides, there were only stars in space. Wang Tong yearned for the ground, a can of cola, and a three-layer chicken burger. God bless him, he wished he could eat them all in his dreams.
Sleep was always short, especially since Wang Tong didn't have any dreams. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar galaxy. This was the Sagittarius Galaxy. Even though Wang Tong's knowledge of space geography was poor, he still knew that this place was far away from Earth.
The Spaceship slowly landed on the main base of Norton. Through the window, the scenery of Norton was unobstructed. No wonder the Norton Fleet was so excited when they first discovered this place. The landform of Norton was seventy to eighty percent similar to Earth. Most importantly, the plants were green, which was undoubtedly the best visual stimulation for space explorers.
Everyone had a good first impression of Norton. Since they were already here, they would make the best out of it. At least, the scenery was refreshing, and curiosity made people excited.
After passing through the security check, everyone started to work without even taking a break. After all, they were here to earn money, not to travel.
When it was Wang Tong's turn, the dispatcher was startled and shook his head. Obviously, no one had ever worked here before. Wang Tong looked even younger than Wang Tong because he was a typical dark-haired and dark-eyed Asian. Wang Tong's parents must be evil.
"Wang Tong, fifteen years old. Kid, Norton is not a paradise. Go back and read up on the rules and regulations. I hope to see you again in two years. Next."
This was the cheap sympathy of the dispatcher. Indeed, Norton was not a suitable place for young people. Although the government claimed that Norton was a beautiful place, what was the truth? Soon, they would know how painful it was to be a pioneer.
Wang Tong was assigned to the D-18 mining area. His daily job was to monitor a group of one hundred and eighty Androids mining. Of course, the Confederation was kind enough to assign him an assistant, an AI butler, C- 1847678. C was its rank, which meant it was very low. In other words, its job was to provide some simple help to the workers. Wang Tong gave it the nickname Charcoal because of its dark skin.
The first rule was to never leave the base because the gravity on Norton was five times stronger than Earth's. Furthermore, the safety factor on Norton was not very high. Unless one was a skilled METAL fighter, it was better to keep a low profile.
Wang Tong would only receive a small pension if something happened to him, and it was stated in the contract. Wang Tong didn't want to exchange his life for a few bottles of liquor.
With Charcoal's help, Wang Tong had a general understanding of the situation in the base. His job was to supervise, and the entire operation of the base was automatic. Charcoal's job was to prevent workers like him from going crazy from boredom.
Wang Tong had slept enough on the spaceship, and he was full of energy. However, he was disappointed to find out that there were almost no entertainment facilities on the base except for a fitness center and a library. Since the planet was still in the development stage, most of the facilities were not up to date. After all, every single one of them cost a lot of money, and obviously, the government would not invest in entertainment.
For the whole week, Wang Tong had been diligently completing all of his tasks, and he used all of his rest time to practice his Tactics of the Blade. Clumsy birds learn to fly early, and this was also the preparation for Mind Opening.
This Blade Edge was not the Blade Edge. It had nothing to do with the Blade Edge Warrior who had created the legend of invincibility four hundred years ago. Instead, it was a basic martial art used in preparation for Enlightenment, or in the early stages of Enlightenment. Practicing before Enlightenment could increase the success rate of Enlightenment and stimulate the state of the spirit sea. Continuing to practice in the early stages of Enlightenment would also help stabilize the eighth brain region. To put it bluntly, it was a common martial art. If you came from a distinguished family, you would not practice such a common martial art. Even the average person would switch to the martial arts of the school after entering the academy.
Old Fart didn't do many good deeds, but he did teach Wang Tong the Tactics of the Blade, which helped Wang Tong form his first Soul Cycle. Old Fart always bragged that this was his unique technique, and it was completely different from the common techniques. If Wang Tong could master it, he would become the legend of the Blade Warrior. Of course, it would be more convincing if Old Fart wasn't drunk.
The Tactics of the Blade that Old Fart taught Wang Tong was a little different from the common ones. Normally, the Tactics of the Blade consisted of eight cycles, with the EMF as the center, and eight important GN Force points in the body to form a cycle. However, Old Fart taught Wang Tong sixteen of them, which doubled the difficulty. Wang Tong was a newbie who hadn't even unlocked his eighth brain region, so he suffered a lot. Most importantly, it didn't seem to have any special effects!
Wang Tong could only pass the time by practicing in this beautiful place. Without METAL, he would vomit blood and die soon after he went out.
As an energetic young man, especially one who was still a virgin, Wang Tong's calmness was indeed commendable.
It had been a week since Wang Tong arrived on Norton, and it was a peaceful week. Sometimes, he would think of Old Fart, but the young man's ability to adapt was amazing. To be honest, this was the first time Wang Tong had been so serious since he started practicing the Tactics of the Blade. He would go crazy if he didn't focus on something. Normally, the Tactics of the Blade would be easy to practice as long as he formed the first cycle, but it would lose its effect after a long time. However, Old Fart's cycle method didn't seem to have much effect, and it would take more than five hours to complete.
However, Wang Tong could only choose to talk to Charcoal after he was done with his business, or he could practice by himself. For the sake of his bright future, and for the sake of being able to reward Old Fart with another bottle of wine, Wang Tong decided to practice something meaningful.
However, God didn't give this hardworking young man a chance. On the morning of the seventh day, Wang Tong heard that God was taking a nap. The siren screeched, as if it was going to pierce through Wang Tong's eardrum. Wang Tong saw a screen full of … Zergs.
"Motherf * cker, which bastard said that there were no Zergs here?!"
