The myth of the invincibility of the Spartan soldiers is just a gimmick used by the UNSC for recruitment propaganda and a pretext to cover up their strategic failures, although a small number of Spartan 2 soldiers did live as well as the Master Chief, and established the myth of invincibility in ONI's careful deployment and repeated asymmetrical confrontation battles with the Star Alliance, and even became national heroes.

However, most of the Spartan warriors were just high-level cannon fodder, mainly used to strike at some of the Covenant's weakly defended logistical targets, using their own flesh and blood to buy time and space for the UNSC's weak fleet forces.

"This can't be human technology, not even the Star Alliance, who are you?" Seeing the "dead" soldiers who got up from the medical table one by one, their faces full of confusion, the Noble felt incredulous, and then raised doubts about the identity that Shen Chao had given before.

In his opinion, the former colonial forces that broke away from UNSC may be able to surpass the current level of UNSC in one or two aspects, but they cannot be strong enough to do so, otherwise it can only be said that UNSC's scientific research strength is rubbish!

"Are you quick to react, second lieutenant!" But you're a little mistaken, all you see now is the embodiment of human technology, but it doesn't come from the universe you're in! Shen Chao didn't continue to pretend to be mysterious, and after showing his own medical technology strength, it became unnecessary to continue to hide his identity.

As if to the people rescued by other expedition teams, he informed the other party of his identity and the existence of the expedition team, and even made it clear that their rescue of these people, including the rescue of the other party by himself just now, was in a later task to consider.

His request for Noble 6 was simple: to stay on the Pegasos for a while and assist them in exploring some of the ancient ruins. Once the expedition has completed its main mission in this plane, the expedition will decide whether or not to show up to help the UNSC based on their gains and other factors, and Noble6 and all the others they have rescued will be able to decide to stay after that.

"Why do you need us?" You don't look like you're short of manpower. Noble 6 still didn't understand why he needed to be accompanied by himself and other UNSC soldiers to go to the ancient ruins he was talking about. The expedition team around Shen Chao obviously did not lack force or manpower in his opinion.

"Because you have something we don't have, the ruins we're about to go to aren't dead, and the defenses are still active. In the eyes of those defense systems, you are not the same as we are. You and the other humans from UNSC are Restorations, and we are a group of potential enemies! You'll find out in a few hours. Now, you'd better go and get your gear in order. After the end of the fleet battle. We'll be busy. ”

Shen Chao didn't bother to explain the difference between the humans of this plane and the members of his own expedition team, because the ancient line of the entire aura was a mess, and it was time-consuming and laborious to explain, and it might make the other party misunderstand.

In general, according to the setting of the entire series of Halo, the earliest super civilization "pioneers" in this universe created two intelligent races with great potential in the galaxy, the precursor and the ancient humans, and let these two "excellent races" who created them compete for the inheritance of their "mantle".

Among them, the precursor civilization took a long time to develop because of its early birth. He has also studied for a long time in the "Zhiyu" manufactured by the pioneers, and has mastered a large number of advantageous technologies, so he has always been in an advantage in the competition for the "mantle" at the beginning.

However, due to the backward organizational model of the Avyumin's own empire and other limitations, they were eventually caught up in terms of technology by the alliance of humans and prophets who did not receive significant help from the Pioneers.

After discovering that their creators, the "Pioneers", were preparing to pass on the "mantle" to the ancient humans, allowing humans to take over the galaxy, and turning their own race into a second-rate race, the embarrassed and angry Forerunners decided to launch a preemptive war strike against their creator "Pioneers".

Although, in fact, in this short war, the "pioneers" did not fight back at all. Nor were any of the "pioneers" really killed by the forerunners, because they were so-called spiritual beings. It does not require the entity to survive.

Regardless, the Precursors claimed victory in the war and took control of most of the stars in the galaxy. The Ancients and the Prophetic Alliance seem to be content with their current position in the galaxy, and the Archaeopathic Empire, which is in the corner of the galaxy, coexists peacefully with the Archer's Achimin Empire, and the galaxy is a peaceful scene, and should have maintained this peace.

But the "pioneers" who withdrew from the galaxy did not stop because of their "failure", and they did not give up their test of the two races they created. In order to study ancient humans and precursors. They created the "Flood Demon", a new type of life form similar to the interstellar zerg, to test whether the two races they created were worthy of their own wisdom gifts.

The method of testing is also very simple, the pioneer uses the flood demons with extremely high mutation ability and infection ability to attack the ancient humans and the Forerunner's Ai Qiumin Empire to see who can hold on. Whichever civilization can hold on, the "pioneers" are ready to pass on the "mantle" to whomever they want.

This simple, crude and extremely rogue way of testing was certainly not welcomed by anyone. After encountering the invasion of the Flood Demons, the humans and the Precursors were in crisis. Due to the lack of direct diplomatic institutions between the two sides to coordinate the fight against the enemy, they fell into a misunderstanding in the war against the Flood Demons, and the Archaeomorphs and the Avyumin Empire of the Precursors also entered a state of war.

As a result of the war, the ancient humans were defeated, degraded by the Precursors and stocked as wild animals. The Precursor, with more strategic resources, was then drawn into an all-out war with the Flood. As a result of their knowledge of the Pioneers, the Forerunners knew early on that their actual enemy was not the seemingly ferocious army of Flood Demons, but the Pioneer of their own creators.

The Flood Demon itself is just an interstellar zerg with strong reproductive ability, and for the Forerunners with developed technology, they should not be opponents and were quickly wiped out by the Forerunners' powerful warplanes. However, the repeated interference of the pioneers made the precursors' restrained strategy and tactics against the flood demons completely invalid.

No matter what method they use to try to eliminate the Flood, the pioneers behind the Flood are always able to crack their strategic and technological superiority. Fighting in the way of a conventional war, they have absolutely no hope of victory.

Only by finding a way to complete the unfinished business of their previous war against the Pioneers, and completely eliminating the "pioneers" who created them, can they solve the crisis caused by the Flood Demons. With this in mind, they began to design and build a new superweapon called HALO, or Aura.

The ostensible effect of this weapon is to destroy all sapient beings in the galaxy, exterminate the food source of the Floods, and then starve all the Floods to death. Achieve the purpose of purifying the galaxy. But in reality, it's just a side effect of a superweapon like HALO.

The forerunners built HALO at the last moment in order to eliminate the "pioneers" who existed in the spirit body, and the main role of HALO is this. As long as the Pioneers can be eliminated, the Flood Demon will not be a problem at all for the technologically advanced Pioneers.

In order to avoid accidents and achieve the goal of finally restoring the vitality of the galaxy, the Forerunners also set up a batch of recombination machines, preparing to use the recombination machines to restore all the intelligent races that disappeared before after the halo was destroyed and all the flood demons were starved to death.

Of course, this plan inevitably failed again. 100,000 years ago, when the Halo Array was activated, the Flood Demons in the galaxy were indeed quickly extinct, but the Pioneer was still not wiped out. Although there were still many forerunners who activated the aura and escaped the catastrophe of the world by hiding in the shield world, they did not dare to come out again knowing that they had not eliminated the pioneers.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the recombinators of various parts of the galaxy have worked according to the procedure to bring out a new generation of intelligent races to fill the gap. Modern human beings have been mixed with some of the precursor recessive genes by some "kind" precursors, so that human beings can rely on the relics left by their own race to develop more quickly and bring the future galaxy into the light......

But like other projects undertaken by other forerunners, this overly idealistic project failed to achieve the purpose of its founders. After a long period of development, some of the various intelligent civilizations created by the reorganization machine created once again mastered the space technology and developed their own civilization.

There are many relics of the Forerunners excavated by the Star Alliance, and although they do not fully understand the history of the war in ancient times, they know that it was the Forerunners who "created zào" their own race. With this discovery, they created a religion based on their worship and gratitude for the forerunners, and based on this, they created the modern Star Alliance.

Twenty years ago, the Star Alliance, which relied on the technology in the Precursor ruins, discovered modern humans, and due to the incorporation of the genetic sequences of the Precursors, these modern humans were identified as Forerunners by the AI machines left behind by the Precursors, that is, the machine qì people officially called "divine messengers" by the Star Alliance.

This discovery shocked the Covenant's top brass at the time, because the technology mastered by humans at that time and even now seemed primitive to the Covenant. If the latest discoveries are made public and everyone in the Covenant knows that humans are the "Protoss" they have always worshipped, then the Covenant based on faith is likely to collapse.

As a result, the Covenant blocked the news and launched a genocidal war against humanity. The above is the beginning and end of a major event, and it is also the reason why Shen Chao needs a group of "modern humans" to accompany his expedition team to explore the ruins. In this sense, the expedition team used the people they rescued as shields and "guides" to explore the ruins. (To be continued......)
