echelon.
Zhang Heng had heard the word echelon more than once from Dimension Star. If you take the literal meaning, it means grading, just like the previous permissions. From E-level permissions to today's B-level permissions, Zhang Heng has experienced a total of There were eight or nine plane missions, but it was not until he found out the secret of the Dimension Star and deceived Julian that he heard the word echelon from the Dimension Star for the first time.
From this point of view, the so-called echelon seems to be a hierarchical system that is different from authority, but until now, he has not noticed the difference between the two.
I don’t know what the so-called echelon means...
With this thought, Zhang Heng slowly opened his eyes.
"Warning, Intelligent Brain has detected environmental changes!"
"You have entered an unknown environment. The environment is being compared... The comparison is completed. No similar environment was found."
"The outside temperature is -27 degrees Celsius. The air composition is: 77% nitrogen, 22% oxygen, 0.05% carbon dioxide, 0.1% water vapor, and 0.01% other unknown gases and impurities. Comprehensive judgment: no threat, allowed within a short period of time Exposed to the unknown.”
Wherever you look, everything is gray and white.
The cold wind lingered on the armor, and pieces of snow mist were blown up by the wind, making a harsh roar. There was only a gray sky between the sky and the earth, and the top of the head was covered with lead-gray clouds, which were connected with the snow in the sky. I can't tell where is the snow and where is the sky.
Zhang Heng's position seemed to be on the top of a mountain. Behind him was a large cave like a crater. White mist floated at the entrance of the cave, like an endless abyss.
The Great Hollow in the North.
If this is indeed the world in Final Fantasy 7, then this area is the crater created when Jenova hit the planet 2000 years ago in the plot.
Planet—is the name of the place where the story takes place in the world of Final Fantasy 7. This is a planet that is almost the same as the Earth, but definitely not the Earth. The so-called Jenova is a cosmic parasitic life that fell into the planet 2000 years ago. The purpose of this life's existence is to absorb the energy of the planet and destroy worlds.
However, an alien race called "Settra" heard the screams of the planet when it passed by. This Settra race, known as the "ancient species", has the ability to talk to and cultivate the planet. , they can open the veins of springs of life everywhere, activate the life cycle of the planet, and make the planet rich.
They are kind-hearted and determined to save the planet after communicating with it, and finally seal Jenova.
This is the historical background of this world.
Until the Settra race sealed Jenova, another 2000 years passed. At this time, an ambitious arms company named "Shinra" discovered the energy source of Mako, and discovered the sealed Jenova by chance. After obtaining these two items, Shinra relied on the energy of Mako. The powerful energy and Jenova cells created a group of warriors that surpassed mortals and infinite energy weapons, and finally reached the pinnacle of the world and unified the political power!
However, what everyone does not know is that the so-called Mako energy is actually the source of life of the planet, equivalent to the blood of the planet. The final result of consuming a large amount of magic energy is to consume the life of the planet and gradually plunge the world into destruction.
Later, some people gradually became aware of this phenomenon, so an organization called "Avalanche" was established. Countless people with lofty ideals joined this organization to resist the monopoly of Shinra Corporation and prevent the destruction of the world.
In the story of Final Fantasy 7, Sephiroth, the strongest warrior of Shinra Company, is a powerful life form created by Jenova cells. After he learned about his life experience, he began to hate the world and finally launched the meteorite The attack attempts to destroy the world.
Of course, when a BOSS appears that destroys the world, a savior will appear who can prevent the destruction of the world, and Claude of the Avalanche organization is one of them. He is also the most powerful warrior in the Avalanche organization.
In fact, Cloud was once a Shinra warrior, and his body was also implanted with Jenova cells. In order to stop Sephiroth, he made countless efforts, including the death of his lover, and finally drove Sephiroth into the planet's fountain of life, saving the entire world from the brink of destruction.
However, this is not the end of the story.
Two years after this epic battle, a terminal illness called 'Star Scar Syndrome' shrouded the people living on this planet. This disease was caused by Jenova after Cloud defeated Sephiroth. The result of cells merging with the fountain of life.
The human body is like a miniature version of the river of life. It automatically eliminates foreign matter from the body, and Star Scar Syndrome is the rejection reaction that occurs when the human body eliminates Jenova cells or Sephiroth cells. Symptoms of this terminal disease are black spots on the skin and oozing black pus. People who suffer from it cannot be cured and can only wait for death.
Uninformed people think it is the planet's punishment for the past destruction of mankind, so it is called "Star Scar Syndrome".
After the infected person dies, their spirit and body will return to the flow of life, and the star marks will invade the flow of life with them, and then damage the planet, allowing Sephiroth to gain control of the planet.
In the final plot, Cloud once again defeated the resurrected Sephiroth, and the planet rained down the fountain of life, washing away the disease in humans.
Scenes from the plot flashed before Zhang Heng's eyes. The game Final Fantasy 7 was very popular around the world back then, and its influence was ranked among the top three in the history of games. Later, a CG movie was released, but now it is known as Dimension Star. The fact that the form of a mission appears in Zhang Heng's choice list seems to indicate that humans on this planet have not escaped the fate of extinction...
According to the explanation of the Dimension Star itself, the meaning of its existence is to allow the host to collect high technologies from various planes that have been destroyed or are close to destruction in order to fight against the upcoming 'curse'. From this point of view, at this time, this Even if the human beings on this planet have not yet been destroyed, they are already on the verge of destruction. Otherwise, it is impossible to appear on the selection list of the dimensional star.
So the question becomes, what is the reason why mankind still has not escaped the fate of world destruction
Moreover, the difficulty level of this seat is two stars. In the current situation where Zhang Heng's strength has greatly increased, the difficulty level of two stars at least means that Zhang Heng has a probability of failure or death of more than 30%. This is not true for Zhang Heng. It seems incredible. Although the humans on this planet are powerful in terms of force, they are not inferior to them in the Marvel movie plane. In terms of technology, Zhang Heng's technology has completely destroyed dozens of streets on this planet. So , where will the danger come from
Zhang Heng looked into the distance with a gloomy expression. Behind him, hundreds of Falcon fighter jets were floating quietly in the sky. The howling wind did not affect the stability of the Falcon fighter jets at all. It was like stars surrounding the moon, guarding it. Behind Zhang Heng, he could launch a fatal attack at any time.
With the firepower of the Falcon fighter, even the resurrected Jenova can be blasted to pieces, not to mention Zhang Heng's Star Beetle. If there are no worries, Zhang Heng can even use the power of the Star Beetle to devour the entire planet.
"Since we have no clue for now, let's stop worrying, turn on quantum communication, and send ten Falcon fighter jets to search everywhere on the planet. I want to know all the information on the planet now." Zhang Heng ordered through the communicator.
"Understood." Zhi Shang's emotionless words came out from the communicator. The next second, the ten Falcon fighter jets at the front began to buzz the air. At the same time, a stream of light flashed across the body, and it was completely integrated in the blink of an eye. The air completely disappeared, leaving only a few particle streams emitted by the particle propulsion system in everyone's sight, and they immediately disappeared into the sky.
