Friday.
In history class.
A man facing the crisis of baldness in middle age is holding a thermos cup.
Speaking at length on the podium.
Some of the students in the audience worked hard, but unfortunately most of them were already drowsy and felt bored.
Those who are working hard include Zheng Yang. After all, Zheng Yang has traveled through this world and has not yet understood the history of this world.
Even in my previous life, I only completed the single-player campaign of Titanfall 2 and had nothing to do with multiplayer.
Most of the backstory there is not about understanding.
And this history teacher happened to start from the beginning. The vast history of this strange world fascinated Zheng Yang.
"More than five hundred years ago, that was a major turning point in human history!" the history teacher began. "Back in the day, an asteroid named Sheffield hit the earth. The impact area was Missouri and St. Louis on the earth at that time. Dr. Sheffield and his team were sent to the site of the accident."
"Yes, this asteroid was discovered by Dr. Sheffield and named after him. During the investigation, some scientists died inexplicably. The truth has not been found out until now."
"At that time, scientists including Dr. Sheffield died, but a very famous scientist survived."
At this time, a student whispered, "Mr. Heinrich Hammond."
Because I was sleeping so hard, the only sound in the classroom was the history teacher's narration. The students' whispers were heard by the history teacher.
The history teacher encouraged, "Yes, it is Mr. Heinrich Hammond. No matter what group this gentleman founded, he is still the hero of our mankind. It was him in that era."
"A new element was discovered at the site of the asteroid accident."
"X element!"
"At this point, the second technological explosion of mankind has begun to unfold in the magnificent history."
"The X element is extremely powerful and its development is of great significance. Mr. Hammond was not only a scientist but also a businessman back then," the history teacher continued. company."
"At that time, the earth's resources had been exploited and were in short supply. It was also suffering from overpopulation, and there was an urgent need for a solution."
"Just when all the major scientific research teams and technical departments were distressed, Hammond Company launched the world's first practical interstellar jump engine in 2187."
"Teacher, was there no interstellar jump engine before this?" a student asked.
"Pay attention to the review of the question. It is a practical type. Again, there was indeed one before, but it was a scientific research type and could not be copied and used on a large scale." the history teacher replied.
"During the first jump journey, the interstellar spacecraft found a planet suitable for human habitation in the star system, which is what we now call the core galaxy," the history teacher said. "Don't look at the lack of core galaxies now. Back then, The abundance of resources has played a very large role in supplementing supplies for the entire human civilization."
"First we need to solve interstellar jumps and realize manned interstellar journeys, and then we need to find resource-rich planets to solve material problems."
"With the advancement of scientific research and the solution to a major problem of mankind, Hammond Company's status has soared, even surpassing the national level back then, and its status is comparable to the United Nations back then."
"Hammond Company has not stopped. In addition to interstellar colonization and mineral mining, even the Marvin robot series you see now was created by Hammond Company."
"Mr. Hammond also has selfish motives. Although I don't understand what people worry about after death, he is still afraid that the company will be suppressed by other institutions and companies after his death, so he started to use the Hammond Project Companies merge and acquire other companies.”
"At this point, the current IMC Group was formed at the end of the 23rd century."
"IMC Group launched an interstellar exploration plan and formed a path-finding colonial fleet."
"The dramatic thing is that there were colonies as early as the end of the 14th century. Interstellar colonization is just a refresh of capital's old routines."
Oh, is this history teacher so cunning? He dares to tell the students this directly.
Zheng Yang thought to himself.
"IMC will open a route between the star sector [border] and the core galaxy and establish a border outpost."
"At the same time, Hammond Industries also began the development of an artificial mecha exoskeleton. The early mechas had extremely low flexibility and high energy consumption. They were ridiculed by the media at the time as a "glorious tractor." under development,”
"This kind of mecha gradually developed and could perform complex agricultural work. Their name is..."
"Titan!" one student replied. When talking about Titan, the heat in his eyes could not be concealed.
Titan, BT... Zheng Yang was listening and respected Titan very much.
What man doesn’t love a Titan?
"Yes, you get excited when it comes to Titan." The history teacher pushed up his glasses frame. "That's right. Who would say no to a Titan?"
"Unfortunately, the development of the border consumes an unusually large amount of resources, and some companies took advantage of it and entered the core system."
"The IMC troops abandoned their colonies and retreated to the core system to fight. This brings us to page 45 of our history book."
"Corporate War!"
"It was during this time that Hammond Company discovered Titan's combat capabilities."
"So the first generation of Combat Titans was born. Elites were selected from soldiers and equipped with high-tech equipment, and trained to become Titan controllers."
"These elites have a special title."
"Pilot."
"At that time, Hammond Company relied on the Titan mecha to quickly achieve victory. However, just after the victory, within a few decades, there were not many resources left in the core galaxy."
Then the history teacher took a sip of water from the thermos and opened a few pages of the book in his hand. "Students, now turn to page 47."
"The Origins of the Resistance."
"Just when the resources in the core galaxy were running low, Hammond Corporation began to show the true fangs of capital and recalled the frontier they had developed."
"The Hammond Company has returned to the border and claimed the rights to develop and expropriate land in the border sector to the descendants of the colonists."
"Military means were used to control the colonial areas and resource development was carried out in the [border] star area."
"Of course the native people on the border were unwilling. After many failed negotiations, the two sides finally transformed the negotiation situation from the table to the battlefield!"
"According to historical data, the resistance forces on the border were composed of local warlords and were nothing more than a ragtag group of people."
"Lack of excellent commanders and powerful military equipment. Looking back at the IMC, the IMC, which has experienced corporate wars, has long been reborn. It has excellent combat power and a large number of advanced Titans. In just 5 years, it almost wiped out all the resistance fleets."
"Remember, it's almost, not all," the history teacher said with excitement, "The Titan War is over, and some sporadic rebels are still resisting hard, just like the tenacity shown by our Chinese back then!"
"In the 28th century, 15 years after the end of the Titan War, a rebel force discovered a colony occupied by IMC forces, led by former IMC Master James McCarran."
"As early as the end of the Titan War, Mr. James was in a completely superior position and massacred civilians in the colonies, and then launched a mutiny angrily."
"What is recorded in the history books is only 12 words of the IMC massacre of colonial civilians. We can see it based on some images and photos from that year."
"That history was so bloody."
"It can make a pilot who was loyal to the IMC angrily launch a mutiny, leave the IMC and disappear into an undeveloped galaxy at the end of the Titan War."
"No one knows how McCarran arrived at the colony. McCarran made a deal with the rebels."
"The rebels assisted in evacuating ordinary people in the colony from the oppression of the IMC, and McCarran gave the rebels a piece of vital intelligence, the coordinates of the IMC's transit fuel supply station [pathway]."
"If the access road is destroyed, it will take at least two years for IMC reinforcements to reach the border."
"The turning point for the resistance was McCarran. The top commander on the border was McCarran's former boss, IMC Vice Admiral Marcus Grievous. It is said that the two have been good friends for many years. McCarran We know that the remaining rebel forces alone will definitely not be able to capture the important supply depot access road.”
"So, McCarron changed his target to the dispersion tower on the planet Demeter. The dispersion tower built on the planet Demeter is used to disperse the native life of the planet under the path established."
"After destroying the dispersal tower, the IMC had to deal with the powerful native life on these planets."
"Seizing the opportunity, McCarron launched an all-out attack on Demeter."
"This is a meaningless war, because even if the planet Demeter is captured, it will take two years for the IMC's reinforcements to arrive. Two years is far from enough to reverse the situation of the war that is a foregone conclusion."
"It is said that even Commander Sarah Briggs did not approve of the battle at the time. It was McCarran's repeated persistence that convinced him."
"This [Battle of Demit] was a major turning point in the war. It seemed that all the rebel commanders did not expect it at the time."
"Mr. McCarron died in Demeter's reactor core, destroying the pathway at the cost of his own life."
"The access road was destroyed and IMC support was completely cut off."
"Mr. McCarron is a hero who single-handedly turned the tide of the war."
"Marcus, who was touched by his old friend, left the IMC and joined the resistance. With such a powerful commander joining, the clarion call for the resistance's counterattack was officially announced."
"In honor of McCarran, the Rebels named their new flagship after him."
"However, since the IMC possesses second- and third-generation Titan technology, the resistance only has Titans stolen and captured from the IMC."
"The counterattack progressed very slowly, so the rebels established a new headquarters on Harmony."
"And started the [Pioneer Project]"
"Study your own Titan [Vanguard-class] Titan"
"Two years after the Battle of Demeter, the first Pioneer-class Titan was born. Its model was Bravo-Tango-7274."
"Abbreviation: BT-7274 or BT."
"Unlike the third-generation Titan, which IMC only carries ordinary artificial intelligence, BT has the ability to learn and self-awareness!"
"So it is also called by some people the beginning of the fourth generation of Titans."
"It and its first pilot, Captain Lastimosa, served together for 973 days. During the Battle of Typhon, they were attacked by the top mercenary hunter-killer organization, and Captain Lastimosa was killed."
"However, the story of BT does not end. Before his death, Captain Lastimosa transferred control of BT to his student on the battlefield, Jack Cooper."
"The IMC forces on Typhon want to use space-time folding weapons to destroy Harmony, the headquarters of the resistance."
"However, an angry Jack Cooper drove the BT Titan and cooperated with the resistance forces to attack all the way."
"In the end, the space-time folding weapon was destroyed at the expense of BT's self-sacrifice of the body."
"Strictly speaking, it is to directly detonate the space-time folding weapon on Typhon, at the expense of half of Typhon's star being shattered."
"After this battle, the IMC no longer has the power to resist on the border."
"Now, the resistance forces in the border sector where we are located are still fighting against the IMC group far away in the core galaxy."
"I was born in the war years, please remember."
"But when doing good deeds, don't worry about life or death."
At this point, the history teacher cleared the textbook.
The end of get out of class bell rang.
"get out of class is over!"
The history teacher held the book in front of her chest and walked out of the classroom.
The sleeping students woke up one after another and began their usual gossiping, chasing and fighting.
However, Zheng Yang was still sitting on the chair at this time.
The wonder in his eyes at this huge piece of history cannot be concealed.
It's a pity that Zheng Yang didn't realize at this time that this history teacher told a lot of history that was not recorded in the textbooks...

I was looking up the Titan backstory and saw the summary backstory video.
