Chapter 424: The Origin and History of Aliens

You know, during the ten years they stayed on planet LV-223, although the researchers from the Wandering Blue Star's Academy of Sciences did not land on planet LV-223, they had already fully understood the spacecraft of the Engineer Civilization.

Therefore, he naturally knew the coordinates of the star map carried in the spacecraft's computer and knew where the Engineer Civilization's hometown, Heaven, was, just like David, the bionic robot that mastered the Engineer Civilization's writing.

However, Liu Xiu naturally understood that the current engineer civilization had already become a dead star. After all, Liu Xiu knew the plot and timeline of the Alien series very well.

Millions of years ago, someone from the Engineer Civilization drank the black water virus and integrated their genes into the ecosystem of the Blue Planet. Then ape-men appeared, and finally they evolved into human creatures like the humans of the Engineer Civilization and possessed intelligence.

Then 200,000 years ago, the Engineers visited the Earth again and discovered that the intelligent life on the Blue Planet had a similar appearance to them, so the Engineers stayed here for a long time and participated in the development of ancient human civilization.

In the process, the engineers taught the ancient humans to use their language and writing, and showed humans the engineers' own hometown, which was found in the cave on the island at the beginning of the movie, a star cluster coordinate system marked with two-dimensional star maps.

Then in 1990, the father of bionic man, Peter Weyland, was born.

Twenty-two years later, in 2012, Weyland Corporation was established in Midong. Its initial valuation exceeded 2 billion US dollars, making it the hottest technology startup.

Another year passed, in 2023 AD, Peter Wehland gave a speech, proposed the slogan of "Building a Better World", planned the company's future development direction in the field of human science and technology, and announced the bionic robot plan for the first time.

Weyland was very efficient. After only two years, the first prototype of the bionic robot was born in 2025 AD. It was named "David" by Peter Weyland, and is the bionic protagonist in the two movies "Contract" and "Prometheus".

Sixty-four years passed in the blink of an eye. In the year 2089, two archaeology doctors, Elizabeth Shawn and Charles Holloway, discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization somewhere in Scotland. The murals on the ruins depicted the existence of a superhuman species, as well as the star cluster coordinate system mentioned above.

The two combined earlier archaeological discoveries around the world and confirmed that the coordinates of this star cluster were real, and one of the planets was named LV-223. In the same year, Elizabeth Sean met Peter Weyland, who was already seriously ill at the time.

Then it was easy. In order to achieve immortality, Peter Weyland, who was about to die, insisted on launching the "Prometheus" plan in 2090 AD, despite the opposition of the board of directors. For this purpose, he even sold part of the shares of the Weyland Group he controlled and two seats on the board of directors.

All the group's resources were allocated to this plan. At that time, many devices were still in the research and development stage, but the Wieland Group used its extraordinary industrial capabilities to complete the testing of most prototypes within a year.

At the end of the year, the Prometheus officially set sail. The spacecraft was designed to carry sixteen people, but it actually carried seventeen people, because Peter Weyland was not dead. He was holding on to his last breath and wanted to meet the engineer civilization that created mankind! However, in order to carry out the plan, Weyland still announced the news of his death. The entire estimated voyage time was more than two years.

Later, at the end of the year 223, the plot of the movie "Prometheus" officially unfolded. The Prometheus arrived at LV-, and everyone found a large spaceship left by the engineers on the surface of the planet, and found mysterious black matter and engineers who were still hibernating in it. The whole incident developed in an unpredictable direction. Some crew members were infected by the black matter and mutated. When Dr. Elizabeth Sean realized that this was the engineer's biological and chemical weapons testing site, she asked the captain of the Prometheus to drive the ship to hit the engineer's spaceship "Donut" that had already taken off, and send a warning back to the Blue Planet.

The arrival of the Prometheus had more consequences than that, as the "trilobite" bred from Elizabeth Shawn's body infected an engineer, and then a whole new alien race hatched from the engineer's body.

Dr. Elizabeth Sean, who survived on the surface of LV-223, took the remains of the bionic man David VIII and boarded another "Donut" spacecraft to the Engineer's home planet. During the flight, Elizabeth had to try to repair David's body, because whether it was operating the navigation system or using the Engineer's hibernation chamber, David's help and participation were needed.

During the long journey that followed, Elizabeth went into hibernation, and David wandered alone in the strange engineer spacecraft, exploring the secrets of these so-called "creators".

Then after more than two years of sailing, in the year 2095 AD, David drove the "Donut" to the Engineer's home planet. He did not wake up the hibernating Elizabeth, but used the black matter carried by the spacecraft to kill all living things on the planet.

He then built his own experimental base in the city of engineers to explore the secrets of their civilization. David killed Elizabeth Sean and used her as an experimental tool to breed a new species.

At this time, after several years of waiting, in 2098 AD, despite the Weyland Group's best efforts to cover it up, the news of the failure of the Prometheus Project spread like wildfire. The group's stock price plummeted and even triggered a financial crisis.

In the same year, the board decided to initiate an internal review of the Prometheus Project and analyze the warning information sent back by the Prometheus earlier. For the first time, humans learned that there was another intelligent race, but due to insufficient information, they were unable to accurately determine the basic situation of this intelligent race.

Then in the year 2099, the Weyland Group defeated Yutani Co., Ltd. in the bionic human patent case. In the same year, it acquired all of Yutani's shares, incorporated all of its bionic human technologies into its own, and successfully launched the bionic human "David" Type IX the following year.

With this model of bionic man shining all over the world, Weyland Tangu Group successfully reversed the negative impact brought about by the failure of the Prometheus Project.

So on New Year's Day in the year 2100, the Weyland Tangu Group announced at its base on Mars that they were about to launch the next step of their human colonization plan. At this time, humans from the opposite sex blue planet had already established colonies on multiple planets in the solar system. The group would lead humans out of the solar system and into the deeper parts of the universe.

Then in 2103, the Covenant was completed and successfully tested, during which it was obstructed and even attacked by some anti-colonial activists who believed that human colonization would lead to unknown disasters, and the Prometheus was the best example. In the same year, in response to these terrorist attacks, the group established its own security company, which later developed into the world's largest private armed group.

In fact, after entering the era of interstellar colonization, giant companies like Weyland are sometimes comparable to a country.
