Chapter 22: Project Heroes (2)

In the year 0007 of the cosmic century, when mankind entered the seventh year of the galaxy age, the monsters launched the most powerful attack on the solar system in history, known as the 'Natural Disaster Campaign'.

In January 0007 of the cosmic century, when people were still silent in the afterglow of the New Year, nearly 100 monsters attacked from the galaxy and launched a surprise attack on the Neptune base at the forefront of mankind!

That attack was also the first use of the monster on the 'Gate', and in the face of the space-time distortion created through the 'Gate', the monsters appeared near Neptune without warning, and the Neptune base did not notice the appearance of the monster until the monster killed near Neptune's gravitational circle, and it was impossible to respond effectively in time.

In just one day, the Neptune forward base, which had several legions, was completely wiped out by the monsters, and the legions were all wiped out, and only a few survived.

Since the day after Neptune was overrun by monsters, a large number of monsters have invaded the solar system through the 'gate'. The new monsters merge with the monsters on Neptune to form a powerful army of monsters and launch an attack on Uranus.

Compared to the suddenness of Neptune, the destruction of Neptune's forward base has finally put the Federation on alert. Although only one day passed, the Federation gathered all the military forces around Uranus to fight against the monster legions.

However, the new monsters are stronger and more numerous than the ones that appeared before. In the face of the unimaginable strength of the monsters, the resistance of the Federation Army is like paper. The desperate resistance of the soldiers only lasted three days.

In the end, the defeated Federation had to withdraw from Uranus and flee to the base of Saturn farther away.

In less than a week, mankind has lost two planets, Neptune and Uranus. If this continues, I am afraid that humanity will become extinct in a month. And if the monsters continue to invade, they will reach a planet inhabited by humans.

At that time, the head of the Federation was also a bold person, and he immediately decided to let all the inhabitants of Saturn and Jupiter evacuate, and at the same time concentrated all the military forces of mankind on Saturn and Jupiter, and was bound to fight to the death with the monster army, and he must not let the offensive of the monster army continue.

After Uranus was captured, a new batch of monsters appeared in the solar system, combined with the monsters that invaded Neptune and Uranus before, the total number of monsters reached thousands. Thousands of monsters, enough to compete with 10,000 space warships, have the power to easily destroy all mankind.

In February 0007 of the Cosmic Century, a fierce battle between the huge monster legion and the Federation fleet ended up lasting a whole week, and finally ended in a crushing victory for humans, interrupting the pace of the monster invasion.

Fighting off monsters that appear like a natural disaster, this war is also known as the 'Scourge Campaign'.

Since then, the Federation has re-established Saturn and Jupiter as front-line bases, and has built two major defense circles, using the defense circle as a barrier, and engaging in a long-term tug-of-war with monsters.

Although the monsters still attack frequently, they have not invaded the core area of human civilization so far due to the effect of the two defense rings.

Luo Yingde's narration made Ai Jie learn a lot of information. In fact, the Federation conducts very strict information monitoring on monsters, and many Federation people only know about monsters on the most superficial 'special creatures', and they cannot obtain further information about monsters. Even in the 'natural disaster campaign' that shocked the world 18 years ago, the Federation restricted relevant information.

The number of monsters, the loss of humans, the specifics of how the war was conducted...... This information is consciously controlled by the Federation, and the average person simply cannot understand it deeply. Most people's understanding of the 'Scourge Campaign' is limited to the extent that it is a great war for the survival of all mankind.

The federal control of this part of the intelligence has long been the cause of public outrage, and there have even been demonstrations on the basis of the right to know. However, the Federation has completely ignored the will of the people, and no matter how much the people criticize it, it has not relented. As for why the Federation would cover up information at all costs, the Federation still has no convincing explanation......

It has been eighteen years since the 'Scourge Campaign', and there have been no more Scourge Campaign-level monster attacks in the past eighteen years, but this does not mean that monsters will no longer attack humans, and there are still a considerable number of monsters that have infested Saturn's defense circle for a long time, but the attacks of monsters are all fragmented, and they have not formed a scale like the Scourge Campaign. Because of this, humans and monsters are at a stalemate, although humans cannot counterattack back to Uranus and Neptune, and at the same time, the invasion of monsters cannot be further expanded.

Nothing has happened in 18 years, but the top of the federation is not at ease. As long as there are monsters in the solar system that have malicious intentions towards humans, it is impossible for humans to truly settle down. The monsters on Uranus and Neptune have not yet been driven away, like a sharp sword suspended above the heads of humans, making them restless.

In order to fight monsters, humans can be said to be unscrupulous. In terms of scientific and technological weapons, a large number of weapons dedicated to monsters have been developed, and various types of monster combat fighters and warships have been developed......

In addition to finding ways to strengthen their weapons, humans are also finding ways to fight monsters in other ways. At that time, human beings used almost every method imaginable, and they used everything, and all evil methods were tried, but most of them ended in failure. Some people have proposed that in order to defeat monsters, it is necessary to be close to them at the level of life, to have the same level or even higher power, and that human beings must evolve and master their own power comparable to that of monsters.

The Hero Project is one of the products of this idea, turning a human body into a giant of light with the power of a monster, so that the giant of light can intervene in the battlefield between humans and monsters. It's like the mythical 'hero' who can slay dragons and demons, and make human beings become heroic characters who can ride a thousand horses, which is the purpose of the 'Hero Project'.

“…… That's how it came about and what we're trying to do. Luo Yingde sighed deeply: "You should have guessed what happened next, when we were carrying out the key to the 'Hero Plan', we didn't expect the monster to suddenly attack, and the plan was almost bankrupt at that time, but fortunately, you accidentally got in at the end, and miraculously turned into a giant of light, so that our plan will not fail." ”

Saying that, Luo Yingde laughed at himself slightly: "Heh, it's also a joke, human beings have walked out of the solar system in order to open up the future, and as a result, let alone out of the solar system now, the farthest distance that can be reached is only Saturn, and the predicament faced by our human beings is far from being comparable to that of a cosmic century ago." It's ...... to open up the future and open up despair."
