Mingyuanxing, Anzheng City.
A small, cheap rental house.
Lin Tao stood in front of the window. It was late autumn and the rustling night wind blew on his face, making him feel cool.
"Mingyuan Star, Federation Calendar Year 1993."
Lin Tao stretched out his hand, feeling the coolness seeping into his bones with his fingertips, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Several hours passed...
Lin Tao finally confirmed one thing: he was still alive and well.
At this moment, the last scene in his memory was an explosion, a sudden and uncontrollable explosion.
While Lin Tao was feeling the cool night breeze, his mind was constantly reminiscing. Of course, what he was reminiscing about was not the explosion, but the information related to the year 1993 in the Federal Calendar.
If this is the year 1993 in the federal calendar, then Lin Tao is a person from the future.
That's right, before the explosion, Lin Tao was in the year 4357 of the Federal Calendar. If the time is more precise, it was October 6, 4357 of the Federal Calendar, at 4:25 pm.
Why could Lin Tao remember it so clearly? Because that was the time when Lin Tao was debugging the mecha. In addition, Lin Tao also has the special ability of photographic memory.
At the same time, this ability enabled him to completely remember all the information that appeared in computer documents and books in later generations.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao couldn't help but rub his temples gently.
In later times, humans were attacked by terrifying space creatures and eventually had to retreat back to the solar system, using it as their last bastion to fight the giant insects. In this situation, Lin Tao, a master of ancient martial arts mechas, had to fight these terrifying creatures every day.
The monotonous and repetitive things every day can easily make people collapse. As a combatant, you can still get a lot of care from the Interstellar Federation. Ordinary combatants rely on some entertainment to numb themselves every day.
Lin Tao is different from them. Due to his background, Lin Tao has less exposure to this kind of entertainment, so he usually reads a lot and studies to improve his skills.
His photographic memory allowed him to quickly finish reading all the relevant information. In this case, Lin Tao had no choice but to read the rest of the books. Slowly, almost all the remaining information of the entire Human Interstellar Federation, including all walks of life and even historical materials, were memorized in his mind.
Fortunately, he was able to write down a lot of information, and Lin Tao was thankful.
"Well, the year 1993 in the Federal Calendar?" Suddenly, Lin Tao narrowed his eyes slightly.
To be honest, although he has a photographic memory and has memorized most of the information, Lin Tao can only throw up his hands when it comes to the year 1993 in the Federal Calendar.
Years that can be recorded in historical documents generally involve events that have had a significant impact on future generations, such as the emergence of new technologies or the occurrence of special events.
However, there is no record in 1993 of the Federal Calendar.
"There is no record of this year, but there is a lot of information about the next two years."
Lin Tao sorted it out a bit, and records related to this information quickly appeared in his mind, filling up an entire page.
Since the emergence of the Human Interstellar Federation, it has conducted extensive exploration of the starry sky and discovered many planets suitable for human habitation. Those who are active in the front have been awarded the title of wealthy families due to their great contributions. Among these wealthy families, Su, Chen, Zhao, Lin, Liu, Wang, Dai and Shi are the largest, and those small and medium-sized wealthy families have gradually gathered into these eight families.
In the year 1995 of the Federation Calendar, an event occurred in the Human Interstellar Federation that was enough to rewrite future history: the great eight families announced their separation from the Human Interstellar Federation.
This is an event that could spark a war.
The war was like a spark, ready to break out! This war within the human race lasted for hundreds of years.
However, this is not the key to ultimately rewriting human history, because this war only allowed the rapid development of mechas and other war equipment developed by humans.
The key trigger was a terrifying star creature that suddenly appeared hundreds of years after the war. This was an enemy that looked like a bug and was incredibly aggressive.
This kind of star creature can not only survive in the starry sky, but also make short-distance leaps in the starry sky. In addition, these star creatures also have a shell that can be compared to top-grade metal.
Once this ferocious beast appears, wherever it goes, the stars will be destroyed and people will die, and human beings will feel like they have fallen into hell.
In the end, humans were forced to retreat back to their place of origin - the Earth's solar system.
In the time and space where Lin Tao was, the huge human interstellar federation was completely reduced to a small planetary federation.
And just when he arrived at this space and time, the last line of defense of the solar system was almost broken.
It is for this reason that countless people in later generations wanted to know why the eight major families at that time announced their withdrawal, because the eight major families at that time had already stood at the top of the Human Interstellar Federation and could even affect the future of the Human Interstellar Federation.
Moreover, if they had not escaped, leading to the subsequent war, those terrifying star creatures would not necessarily have appeared.
According to records, humans in later generations have discovered that this kind of star creature is very sensitive to combat. As long as human mechas send out combat signals, they can easily attract a large number of these enemies.
As a person from later generations, Lin Tao also wanted to find out the truth. It was for this reason that he read a lot of information about this time period in order to find out the truth. He even looked up some unofficial history from the computer.
Unfortunately, even though Lin Tao read a lot, he couldn't find the secret.
"In the year 1993 of the Federal calendar..."
This year has appeared in Lin Tao's mouth for the third time. Although he was saying this year, Lin Tao was thinking about something else in his mind.
Mingyuan Star! At this moment, Lin Tao is on Mingyuan Star.
It is recorded in detail in later materials that the first place where the star creatures appeared was Mingyuan Star. As soon as the worm-shaped star creatures appeared, they turned the planet into dust and completely disappeared from the starry sky.
…
…
Three days later.
Lin Tao stood in front of the window again. He stretched and looked up at the rising sun.
The warm sunshine falling on his body made him feel comfortable.
Since there was a lot of information related to the Federal Calendar 1995, Lin Tao spent a lot of time sorting it out. While sorting out the information, Lin Tao also discovered that this body seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries.
Lin Tao's situation was one of rebirth through borrowing another's body, because the explosion had completely shattered him into pieces, and he no longer existed.
So Lin Tao was surprised and excited to be able to appear in this time and space. The closer he got to the year 1995 in the federal calendar, the more he could secretly find out the secret of the separation of the eight giants.
For three days, Lin Tao sorted out the information in his mind while secretly recuperating from his injuries.
It has to be said that this body is extremely weak, but this is not the key point. This body also has a hidden disease, which is the key reason why Lin Tao feels physical pain.
"Forget it, as long as we come back from training and prepare a potion, we can solve it."
Lin Tao shook his neck, feeling the warmth of the rising sun. He returned to the rental house, did some warm-up exercises first, and then performed a set of military boxing according to his memory.
Military boxing is a compulsory daily course for mecha masters of the ancient martial arts department in later generations.
After practicing military boxing, Lin Tao felt better and began to do special training on the five fingers of both hands.
Under Lin Tao's control, the five fingers were seen changing strangely in peculiar postures, and each time they were stretched out, they appeared at unexpected angles.
This set of special finger training methods originated from a martial art in later generations called Cun Jin, which was taught to Lin Tao by his instructor himself.
Thinking of the instructor, Lin Tao frowned. According to the instructor, he was the descendant of the eight great families. After coming to this time and space, he didn't know if he could meet his old friends.
The weather on Mingyuan Star changes suddenly and without any warning.
The sun was rising just a moment ago, but after Lin Tao finished practicing military boxing and training his five fingers, dark clouds appeared and covered the sun in an instant.
The sky was dark.
Swish!
A thick flash of lightning, like an endless giant sword, seemed to split the dark sky in half and illuminated the surrounding environment.
There are tall buildings everywhere, and the rental house looks a bit out of place against the backdrop of nearby tall buildings.
After a few dull rumbles of thunder.
Heavy rain fell from the sky with a loud splash, making a pattering sound as it landed on the ground.
"Another thunderstorm?" Lin Tao shook his head.
It seemed that before the mecha exploded, it also encountered a sudden thunderstorm, which damaged the mecha's engine and caused the explosion of the energy system.
The structure of mechas of later generations is different from that of current ones, and even the energy system has adopted biological-grade energy. Although this energy is stable, once an explosion occurs, it is no less powerful than a nuclear bomb.
"It's such an unexpected disaster." Lin Tao scratched his head violently again.
Buzz...buzz...
At this moment, Lin Tao felt a vibration on his wrist. He looked down and found that it was a watch on his wrist.
This is a communication watch.
Technology was quite advanced around 2,000 years into the Federation calendar. A small wristwatch not only had ultra-long-distance communication capabilities, but could also be used as a microcomputer to control mechas. In the next 2,000 years, humans still used wristwatches with the same performance, and even used them to replace identity cards.
Due to the emergence of war and the attack of terrifying space creatures, the development direction of human technology has always been towards war, and has been powerless in life technology, so the performance of watches has not made much progress.
However, the use of the watch as an ID card has not changed. After going out, just show the watch and after scanning the code, Lin Tao's identity at this time can be confirmed.
Moreover, due to the emergence of subspace technology in later generations, in Lin Tao's era, watches also developed the function of storing the mecha body.
However, the communication watch on Lin Tao’s wrist is quite old and obviously second-hand.
Lin Tao, who had collected several communication watches in his later life, could tell at a glance that this second-hand product was an early castrated watch. Not to mention that it had a microcomputer, its communication capabilities were also weak and it could not be used outside the planet at all.
There is no need to think too much, this communication must come from Mingyuan Star.
He reached out and clicked the communication button.
"Lin Tao?"
A gentle female voice came from the watch. The voice was quite pleasant. With Lin Tao's experience, he could tell that the owner of the voice was no more than 25 years old.
After searching his memory, Lin Tao still couldn't find the owner of the voice, so he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
In this era, due to the popularity of communications, many people have begun to take advantage of loopholes and use communications to commit fraud. The communication party usually uses a pleasant female voice to lure the victim. Once the victim loses control or becomes greedy, being cheated of money is a small matter. Some people have even had their organs sold.
It would have been better if Lin Tao didn't say anything. After he said this, the other party was obviously stunned for a while.
"Lin Tao." The voice from the other side of the watch suddenly cooled down, like ice cubes in a refrigerator, causing Lin Tao to shiver.
"You have missed three days of classes. If you don't see anyone at 10 a.m., as your instructor, I will apply to the school to have all your grades in this school invalidated."
An angry roar came from the other side of the watch, and without waiting for Lin Tao to speak, the communication was forcibly cut off unilaterally.
"this……"
Lin Tao was stunned for a long time, then he slapped his forehead. Only at this moment did he finally remember the owner of the voice.
After coming to this time and space, Lin Tao has been sorting out the information in his mind while healing his body. As for the information of the original owner of this body, it has been deliberately sealed.
At this moment, hearing the anger on the other end of the communication, Lin Tao finally released the sealed memory of the original owner of this body.
Lin Tao, 17 years old, has no parents and grew up in an orphanage in Anzheng City. At the age of 13, he taught himself mecha repair technology and earned a lot of money with this skill. Finally, he felt that he had reached a technical bottleneck and applied for advanced training in mecha repair at Hyacinth Mecha Academy.
The owner of this voice was exactly the instructor of the course that Lin Tao was taking.
