"The home planets of other intelligent races all have myths about saints weaving the stars."
"There are several saints, and they all have records. Only we humans don't have anything corresponding, so we are naturally discriminated against."
"Along with discrimination comes oppression and exploitation. Large numbers of people have been captured and taken to their zoos and laboratories, becoming the most pathetic and ridiculous dolls."
"But we are human beings, intelligent beings with our own civilization!"
"We had to resist and fight for the rights that we humans were born with. With blood and tears, we learned their technology, faced sanctions again and again, and fought again and again. Until today, we have barely won certain legal rights and interests."
"We cannot forget this shame, that's why you are here today!"
On the podium, an old professor was shouting passionately, but except for a few people, most people did not respond, and lowered their heads to play with their "mobile phones" with light screens.
"What's the point of fighting again and again? Aren't you just being a clown in front of those aliens?" Someone in the crowd replied in a disdainful voice, and immediately there was a burst of laughter that made the old professor on the podium face red and white.
I don’t know whether he was angry or anxious.
Because what that person said is actually relatively close to reality.
"That's right, we are doomed anyway. If it weren't for the mandatory regulations, we would have long since stopped coming to this school to listen to your pep talk!" Another student was much braver.
He stood up and slammed the table and cursed.
"Now that you've finished speaking, get off the stage quickly, give us today's supplies, and then get out!" Although the words were unpleasant to the ear, they were met with applause.
123 years ago, in 2000 AD , of course people now prefer to call it the Gospel Era, or the Clown Era.
In that year, the humans on Blue Water Planet explored the outer universe, and the rover spacecraft launched by Eagle Sauce carrying various information about the Earth attracted the attention of aliens to Blue Water Planet.
The Blue Water Planet doesn't even qualify to be a colony.
Because there is a certain cosmic energy belt outside the Milky Way, it is inconvenient for the aliens' large development fleets to enter. Only some relatively light scientific research spacecraft equipped with special equipment can fly in.
So they just kidnapped a lot of humans, and then treated this intelligent race without saints as a rare wild life.
However, as time went on, some humans became unwilling to accept this and chose to learn alien technology.
This kind of learning behavior is considered to be stealing the knowledge of the saints and is the most despicable behavior.
Then came the sanctions.
Even an ordinary scientific research spacecraft almost destroyed the Blue Water Planet, and some excavation machines were enough to make humans despair.
Not to mention, after humanity finally won, they threw in the “Apostles.”
The Apostles are powerful monsters created by aliens through reverse engineering and studying the relics of the Saints.
They seemed like invincible gods, wreaking destruction everywhere.
It was not until someone transformed an excavation machine seized from a scientific research spacecraft into a giant robot, the Human Freedom, which killed the first apostle at a tragic price that humanity was saved.
But there is more than one apostle, there are many more apostles.
Human beings are developing rapidly in the Milky Way galaxy with the help of the natural barrier of the galaxy.
And gradually gained the support of some alien races, so twenty-seven years ago, human representatives and alien races signed a "peace agreement".
One of the agreements is that humans need to accept the test of the apostles.
That is, every three years, aliens will select a human city and blockade it.
Then the apostles will come and indiscriminately destroy everything in the city.
The people inside cannot go out. Except for some supplies and people with special identities, no one is allowed to come in at this time. Humans must fight the apostles in this blockaded city to decide the final victory or defeat.
If the apostles are defeated, then in the next three years, no cities will be chosen and humans will be able to get a breathing space for development.
Otherwise, as one city is destroyed, a new city will be chosen.
Otherwise, even if the aliens lose a lot of resources, they will send fleets and a large amount of resources to cross the galactic barrier and destroy humanity.
Under such circumstances, a large number of people chose to leave the city and give up the possibility of centralized development.
Yet this is exactly what the aliens want.
All human beings left the cities and went to the wild to live an agricultural life and no longer developed.
And once they solve the galactic barrier, humans will be a piece of cake.
And under this passive response, important cities of mankind were destroyed one after another, and the momentum of mankind was also being defeated bit by bit.
So this statement appeared on the Internet, that is, aliens were able to destroy humans long ago, and all human resistance was powerless.
The so-called apostle test is nothing more than a monkey show for aliens.
Human beings, there is no need for them to struggle anymore.
People in other regions might still have the rationality to look at this statement, but right now, they are in the selected city.
Apostles, they will come in a few days.
If the city had not been placed under military control the moment it was selected and all supplies had not been distributed militarily, there would probably have been no order at all.
"Humanity will surely win, we will surely defeat the apostles!" The teacher on the podium no longer spoke to the students, but whispered to himself.
Lu Bai stood outside, looking at the chaos in front of him.
Afterwards, he and Hu Niu entered the Apostle Response Base underground in this city.
At this time, underground in the base, there was a huge robot over 40 meters tall, standing on the launch pad. Many staff members were surrounding the robot to carry out maintenance and inspections.
In a few days, the apostles will come and save mankind, and all the pressure is on them.
Many of them were conducting the final test in a dazed manner. One person was doing the test when he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
"Lao He, Lao He!" The person next to him looked at the man who was gradually losing his breath, shouted twice, wiped his injured eyes, called the rescue team, and immediately continued to work.
Without Lao He, the next job will be his!
In the simulation training room, there were also young people who were connecting to the instruments and conducting simulation training on driving mechas.
Except for the first human Freedom, which was completely transformed from an alien mining robot, humans chose to fill the remaining robots with the flesh and blood of apostles due to limitations on materials and technology.
The advantage of this is that a lot of materials can be saved, and some of the characteristics of the apostles can also be used as black technology to enhance the strength of the robot.
The downside is that this type of robot requires a high level of driver.
They must resonate with the flesh and blood of the apostles. In order to achieve this resonance, they previously used potions made from the apostles' blood to take medicine to change their status.
But later I found that this method had too many side effects and the resonance rate could never be increased.
So they changed the plan, which was to look for survivors born during the Apostles' counterattack.
So far, mankind has experienced a total of seventeen attacks by apostles.
There were only a few successful kills, about six times.
Of those six times, four of them were before the peace agreement, when the world gathered its strength to face a war of genocide and had to win, and the apostles were defeated.
The remaining two times were difficult counterattacks completed during the apostle test after the peace agreement.
After stripping away these six successful kills, what remained were eleven cities that were completely destroyed.
After defeating the apostle, his blood was spilled on the spot when he died.
Many people have been stained by the blood of the apostles, and their bodies have been corroded. Some of the children or fetuses in pregnant women's bellies are born with the ability to resonate with the flesh and blood of the apostles, making them the best candidates for drivers.
This young man was a survivor of the last apostle's trial. When he was born, he was stained with apostle blood and was born with the ability to resonate with the apostles.
"It looks good." Lu Bai gave his evaluation. The strength of these apostles is actually quite good.
They are the product of aliens' reverse engineering of the Saints.
If this is the case, it means that most of the saints who weaved the stars are now unable to move.
According to historical records, after the saints finished weaving the stars, they fell into deep sleep one after another.
Then wake up for various reasons in the years to come.
The saints who have awakened have different attitudes towards the current world.
There are saints who have caused the destruction of their own race, intending to retaliate and rebuild their own race.
A sleeping saint was discovered and was imprisoned and studied by other races, which resulted in big problems.
There were fights between saints, which led to a great disaster.
In short, every appearance of a saint is a major disaster and a major event.
The entire universe is actually not at peace right now.
There are thirteen saints in total, five of whom are confirmed dead, and the remaining seven saints have either become the masters of intelligent life or are still in deep sleep and have not been discovered.
In addition, there are some remnants of destroyed races who have caused various cosmic disasters.
Although those natural disasters may not be as strong as those of saints, their destructive power is not necessarily weak either.
Lu Bai made a rough assessment and concluded that the saint was most likely a star level one, the kind that because of its special identity also possessed the characteristics of the sun level.
As for the apostles, they are around the moon level.
Each of them can use the power of heaven and earth to become immune to the damage caused by most technological weapons.
Humankind’s current science and technology has only just broken through the surface of the earth and reached the half-step moon level.
Only robots made from the flesh and blood of apostles can defeat and kill apostles in this situation.
