At the same time, in the other direction, there is also a conversation going on.

Just as Aijie left the square to relax because he couldn't sleep, Shi Peter, who knew that Aijay had left, slowly opened his eyes.

I didn't think Ijay would go out at this time, but it was good. After all, Aijie now has superhuman perception, and if he could, Peter still didn't want Aijie to know who he was going to meet next.

Quietly walking out of the experimental factory, St. Peter walked to the previously agreed position.

It took him about five minutes to walk, and only then did he slow down when he was a considerable distance away from the experimental plant.

Seeing a figure not far away, St. Peter quickly walked over: "I didn't expect you to come earlier than me, even if you didn't come, I wouldn't think it was strange......

Under the light of the moon, the appearance of the person who emerged was an old man with a long beard and a kind face, who had passed the old age.

Peter's voice was especially loud under the silent night sky...... Xue Lao! ”

The person who came was none other than Xue Lao, the oldest researcher and the central figure of the researcher.

At the end of the battle between Ai Jie and Zola, Shi Peter determined that Xue Lao knew something about the 'Hero Plan' represented by the Giant of Light through lip recognition and his own guesses, and Shi Peter was eager to know the relevant information of the Hero Plan, but he didn't talk about it in a crowded place, so Shi Peter specially called Xue Lao out. I thought that Xue Lao would refuse, but I didn't expect him to agree very simply, so the two agreed to meet here in the early hours of the morning.

Touching his beard, Xue Lao shook his head and sighed: "Oh, it's really a disaster from the mouth, I can't imagine that you can see through it with your lips, and the future is terrifying." ”

His gaze instantly sharpened, and Shi Peter squinted his eyes and said, "So, don't you deny that you know about the 'Hero Project'?" ”

Xue Lao shrugged his shoulders undeniably: "You don't have to be so nervous, since I came here, I plan to solve your doubts." ”

Don't ask for reasons, don't make excuses, Xue Lao's cooperative attitude surprised Shi Peter, he thought that this kind of secret, Xue Lao would not tell him even if he knew.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point." Taking a step forward, St. Peter's eyes burned, "How much do you know about the 'Hero Project'?" ”

Xue Lao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with difficulty under the ice and snow: "Oh, this question is general enough, but in fact, I don't know much about it, and this plan is also the top level of secrecy in the Federation. But since my old bones have been 'abandoned' by the Federation, then I don't need to keep them so secret, I'll tell you what I know. ”

"The 'Hero Project' started exactly 25 years ago."

The unexpected time made Peter Shi can't help but call out: "25 years ago, the first year of the cosmic century?!" ”

"That's right." Taking a deep breath of his cigarette, Xue Lao continued, "Specifically, it was after the first month of the 'Day of Breaking the Seal'. ”

"The day the seal was broken?" The unfamiliar noun made Peter a little puzzled.

Xue Lao glanced at Shi Peter, and said lightly: "It refers to the day when human beings first rushed out of the solar system, and the people above called it that, I don't know what the specific meaning is." ”

"On the 'Day of Breaking the Seal', it was also the first time that mankind came into contact with the Giant of Light. The existence of ULTRAMAN (Ultraman). ”

"The Giant of Light that time is not the same as the Giant of Light that your friend Aijie turned from a human being, it is a pure Giant of Light, and there seems to be a big gap in strength between the two."

The amount of information in Xue's old words made Shi Peter fall into thought: "Pure...... Giant of Light. ”

Xue Lao ignored Shi Peter, and he continued: "In the face of the god-like giants of light, the Federation's greed for its power. A month later, the Federation formed the 'Hero Project' centered on a member of EV-1 in an attempt to get their hands on the power of the Giants of Light. ”

"Initially, the plan was not taken seriously, and many people thought it was just nonsense and that it was impossible to succeed...... Until eighteen years ago! ”

The current generation is extremely sensitive to the number eighteen, and Peter Shi is no exception, this delicate point in time made Peter Shi couldn't help but widen his eyes and blurted out:

"Eighteen years ago...... Scourge Campaign?! ”

A look of memory appeared on Xue Lao's face: "From the first year of the cosmic century to the 07th year of the cosmic century, the 'Hero Plan' has always been only a theoretical stage, and there has been no success. However, at the time of the Scourge campaign, everything changed. ”

Xue Lao showed a fanatical look: "Without personal experience, you can't imagine how dangerous human beings were at that time, just when the monster army was about to enter the planet inhabited by humans - a hero was born!" ”

"It was a giant of light born by artificiality, and I can say unceremoniously that at that moment man created God!"

"Even if it's just an artificially created Giant of Light, even if it's just a so-called 'pseudo-god', the counteroffensive of the Scourge Battle is led by the Giant of Light. It was also at that time that the Federation really saw the feasibility of the 'Hero Project' and began to work on the 'Hero Project' with all its might. ”

The information in Xue Lao's words surprised Shi Peter, he never imagined that it was the Giant of Light who led the victory of the Cataclysm Battle, and the relevant information was so hidden that he had never heard of it in the past.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, St. Peter asked, "Is the Federation still carrying out the 'Hero Project' now, can it produce giants of light in batches?" ”

After finding a stone that was not frozen and sitting down, Xue Lao looked at Shi Peter strangely and said, "You don't know if the Federation has carried out the 'Hero Project'?" Just look at that companion of yours, I estimate that he has had that power for less than half a year, which is too young. ”

"As for mass-producing Giants of Light...... Boy, do you despise the power of God? ”

"For us humans, the power of the giants of light is like the realm of 'gods', I don't know how many giants of light have been successfully born in the Federation in recent years, but I am sure that if the Federation has more than a dozen giants of light, it will be enough to recapture Uranus occupied by monsters with the space battle fleet, but so far, the military power of the Federation is still stuck in the two major defense circles, and you can't imagine the reason for this."

Shi Peter nodded thoughtfully, the current Federation is estimated not to 'don't want to', but 'can't', I'm afraid that even with the power of the Giant of Light that he currently has, it will be difficult to recapture Uranus and Neptune.

St. Peter said unrelentingly: "Then do you know what the specific content of the 'Hero Project' is, and what are the criteria for people who can become giants of light?" ”

"Young people's thirst for knowledge is really terrifying~" Xue Lao shook his cigarette butt and said helplessly: "It's a pity, you asked me about these things, I don't know, I am not in charge of the 'Hero Project', and I don't have enough authority to do that, I am already very curious about those things." ”

Staring at Xue Lao for a few seconds, Shi Peter withdrew his gaze. Intuition told him that this seemingly kind old man should have hidden something, and it was impossible for him to point at the gun and force Xue Lao to say it, Xue Lao didn't want to say it, and he couldn't help it.

Descending the steps given by Xue Lao, Shi Peter said: "Okay, if you don't know, there is really no way......

Shi Peter's voice became smaller and smaller, and he sensed the key in Xue's old words, and Shi Peter's eyes couldn't help but sharpen: "Did you just say that you were 'responsible'......?"

Extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand, Xue Lao's temperament changed drastically, and contrary to his previous kind eyebrows, he showed a hint of a gloomy smile: "Heh, boy, you noticed." ”

"Where there is light, there is darkness, if the 'Hero Project' is to give birth to the hero of light, then the 'Demon God Project' is to evoke the Demon God of Darkness!"

"The experimental site of the Demon God Project is this island!"
