Part I: Chronology of Half-Life Events
This historical chronology is the painstaking efforts of all "researchers" in playhl.com Plot Research Area, and is specially written for players who don't know the plot of Half-Life. ; Because the story of Portal is vague, it is avoided; The plot of OP is very controversial. Although it is not avoided in this manual, readers should know that the plot of OP is not the main line of HL, and it also subverts the plot created by valve. Therefore, the plot of OP can be ignored, especially the plot of OP is generally not discussed together with the plot of HL2. Readers are advised to read the game without knowing the plot. The game about the age problem has not been clearly explained, but the age of the old age table is very possible. Here, only the events are arranged in order, and the exact year is cancelled. At present, the information we know is: the age involved in the game is between the end of 199s and 2- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Scientists have noticed that there are many strange phenomena and things in Xen space, and also found that there are alien biological activities and special minerals on Xen, so the Montenegro base sent a large number of exploration teams to Xen through time and space to collect various biological and crystal mineral samples, which were sent to the biological laboratory of the Montenegro base for research, while the crystal mineral samples were studied by the abnormal materials laboratory. Among them, the Heishan base selected a sample with high purity (which may be provided by gman) from the obtained crystal mineral samples, and prepared to use the antiproton spectrometer of the abnormal materials laboratory for analysis.
2. Gordon Freeman was hired by
Gordon Freeman, the protagonist of Half-Life, a theoretical physicist, who received a doctorate in philosophy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Saga kleiner was his mentor. After graduating from MIT, Gordon went to the University of Innsbruck in Austria to continue his studies. At this time, kleiner has transferred to work in the Montenegro base, and recommended to hire Gordon as a new employee through the talent recommendation agency of the Montenegro base. In May of 2X, he sent a letter of employment to Gordon. Soon after, Gordon went to work at the base in Montenegro.
Gordon's work place is the abnormal materials laboratory in Area C of Montenegro base. Before taking part in the formal work, he was trained in the use of HEV IV (Roman numeral 4) protective clothing, so that Gordon became an operator in the analysis experiment of high-purity crystal samples.
(2) HL1
1, series * * * vibration
March 16th is the experimental date of crystal sample analysis in Heishan base. This morning, the computer system in area C broke down, and Gordon was late, so the experiment was delayed for half an hour.
when Gordon arrived at the experiment and control room in area C, the samples had not actually been sent to the laboratory. After obtaining HEV protective clothing, he learned from other scientists that the data of experimental instruments fluctuated abnormally, and these experimental instruments were not originally used for this experiment, but scientists ignored these details, because the management wanted to get the experimental data earlier, so scientists had to continue this irresponsible experiment. Some scientists thought about the possibility of series vibration before the experiment began, and gman also hinted at the experimenter Eli Vance, but these failed to stop the experiment.
When Gordon pushed the sample into the spectrometer, the series vibration occurred, which created a huge space-time crack between the earth and Xen, and made a large number of organic substances from Xen enter the base in Montenegro. At the same time, some facilities in Montenegro base have been seriously exploded and collapsed. Area c and area b are the first to lose contact with other areas.
The management office in Montenegro didn't realize the seriousness of the incident at first. When the * * * vibration phenomenon gradually spread to Zone D, the management office organized the evacuation and sent a distress signal to the outside world.
Gordon was transported to Xen when the disaster happened, so he survived. He got help from Eli, and Eli told him to get to the ground at once.
2. Military intervention and invasion by alien troops
The government sent troops into Montenegro to carry out the so-called "containment policy", that is, to kill all living things. For the main personnel in this accident, they were arrested instead of silenced. Gordon is on the arrest list. The military operation was code-named KIL.
After the army entered Montenegro, it quickly took control of the ground facilities and broadcasting system of the base in Montenegro, and various search troops began to infiltrate underground to carry out blockade and slaughter tasks. Gordon first clashed with the army at the material storage in area D. Gordon once reached the ground, but because of the airborne action of the army, he went underground again. A scientist told Gordon that only the λ science team in F area can solve this incident now. Gordon can only reach the λ fortress through the E-zone railway system under the rocket testing room.
The military has taken control of the railway system in Area E, but due to the harassment of Xen, some positions were abandoned, which made Gordon take advantage of it. The military has also issued a formal order allowing the use of force against Freeman.
Gordon launched a rocket in Area E, which sent the λ group's satellite into the sky. This satellite not only enabled the λ team to observe Gordon's progress, but also prepared for opening the portal between the earth and Xen. On the way out of the launch center, Gordon was captured by two soldiers. Because the soldiers handled Gordon without authorization, Gordon escaped and entered the old industrial zone, from which he entered the biological laboratory.
At this time, the troops from Xen began to invade the base in Montenegro, and a large number of alien troops arrived at the earth through the portal in Herrens, and the military suddenly fell into chaos. Gordon once again used the chaos of the military to directly enter the λ fortress from the ground. Because the λ fortress has been completely sealed by scientists, and the "different dimensional blockade system" inside the fortress, neither the army nor the Xen army can enter.
Soon, the army could no longer control the situation in Montenegro. Finally, it had to retreat, and it was a hasty retreat, leaving many soldiers in Montenegro. When Gordon arrived at Fort λ, it was also the time when the army retreated.
3, the death of Herrens
After Gordon arrived at λ, the blockade system of λ fortress broke down, and Xen troops were transported into λ fortress. After turning on the water pump of the main reactor of Fort λ, Gordon broke through the interception of aliens and reached the top of the reactor, which used to be the supply storage room of the first observation group.
λ team suggested Gordon go to Xen through their teleporter, because λ team has detected that the portal used by Xen army invasion was created by a living body, that is, Ni Herrens, the leader of Xen. Only by killing it can Gordon save this disaster.
In this way, Gordon was sent to Xen, and finally, he killed Ni Herrens and liberated the race of Ferdigan.
At the end, gman finally had a face-to-face conversation with Gordon. And asked Gordon to work for him, or face a "war that can never be won." Gordon had to accept G-man's request to save his life. The story of HL1 is over.
We believe that g-man protected Gordon with a living freezing technique, so Gordon fell into a deep sleep.
(3) the transition between HL1 and HL2
the transition between HL1 and HL2 is nearly 2 years.
1. The Fall of Civilization
After the Montenegro incident, Xen creatures continued to spread all over the world, which brought chaos to mankind.
It's not Xen creatures that really let human civilization fall, but an interstellar alliance from other spaces-Combine. For some reason, Combine discovered the earth and began to plan an attack on it, preparing to turn the earth into a colony and human beings into slaves. After careful preparation by the allied forces, a great war broke out.
Combine launched an attack on the earth. The war lasted only seven hours, and mankind suffered a crushing defeat. Brin advised mankind to surrender as soon as possible to avoid the danger of extinction. As a result, the Combine army occupied the earth in just seven hours. Brin became a puppet of the Coalition forces and was responsible for "managing" the earth.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and human beings will not easily accept slavery from another species. Humans spontaneously organized the rebels to fight against the Coalition forces. Scientists who survived the Montenegro incident, such as Eli and kleiner, were the leading forces of the rebels. Fertigan was also dissatisfied with the rule of the Coalition forces. As a rational life, they formed an alliance with human beings and fought against the tyranny of the Coalition forces.
2. Rule of Combine
After taking control of the earth, the allied forces began a series of colonial measures.
They first renamed human cities as No.1 City and No.2 City ... In the HL2 period, No.17 City was established as the capital, and the base camp of the United Army was here. In order to concentrate the survival strongholds of human beings, the joint forces set up defense lines around major cities to prevent Xen creatures from invading cities, while the outside world allowed Xen creatures to flood. In this way, most people actively chose to live in cities, and the outside world became a space for Xen creatures and rebels.
The allied forces also set up a "force field of reproductive inhibition", which made human beings unable to have children, deprived them of their reproductive rights, and made them slowly extinct. They added a special substance to human drinking water, which gradually faded human memory and was conducive to human obedience to the joint army; At the same time, the human habitation must be decided by the allied forces, and they are constantly migrating back and forth and cannot settle down; Those who resist the Coalition forces may be transformed into ghosts by the Coalition forces after being arrested and serve the Coalition forces; Brin instilled obedience into human beings through various media ... In order to absorb human members to the maximum extent, the United Army formed a police organization-National Guard, which was made up of "traitors" among human beings. Participants could get good food and meet their sexual needs. In this way, a large number of human beings joined in and worked for the United Army. The national guard has become an effective means for the United forces to carry out terrorist suppression.
The joint army also transformed the hunting crabs to clean up the rebels. They make the parasitic zombies unable to eat, and after the death of the host, the hunting crabs can leave and find new lodgers. After pouring a large number of shells into the gathering place of the rebels, all the local people can be turned into zombies or killed by zombies. Zombies will slowly starve to death because they can't eat.
The troops of the joint army are also called armored core troops, and there are many types of armored core troops, so I won't introduce them in detail here.
(4) HL2
1. The Return of Heroes
Gman once again awakened Gordon and asked him to save the human civilization trampled by Combine.
Gordon was sent to the train station in 17th city, where he met his friend Barney, who used to be in Montenegro, and now works as a rebel undercover in the National Guard. Barney sent Gordon to kleiner's lab. On the way, the allied forces searched Gordon's block. It was Alex, Eli's daughter, who saved Gordon. In this way, kleiner, Alex, Barney and Gordon got together, and Gordon got his new clothes here-HEV (Roman numeral 5, not V) protective clothing improved from kleiner. Just on the same day, kleiner and Alex completed the assembly of the space-time transmitter. They decided to use this transmitter to send Alex and Gordon to Eli's laboratory. As a result, when transmitting Gordon, the transmitter broke down, and the Coalition forces found Gordon. Gordon had to walk along the canal to Eli's laboratory.
After the allied forces discovered Gordon, they immediately sent a large number of troops, and the whole castle was also in a state of martial law. Because Gordon appeared along the railway, almost all the national guards in the city were sent to the railways and canals, ready to catch Gordon at any time. Many underground rebel stations here were also cleared by the allied forces.
The National Guard failed to stop Gordon. On the contrary, it was badly hit. Gordon got a steamboat with the help of the rebels. Gordon drove a steamboat, passed several checkpoints set by the allied forces, and finally arrived at Eli's laboratory near the old water conservancy plant-the eastern part of Heishan base. Here he met Eli, Alex and mosman.
in the eastern part of Montenegro, Gordon won the gravity gun. While Gordon was practicing the use of gravity gun, the allied forces launched a surprise attack here. Because the tunnel was blocked, Gordon had to go to the mine that had been controlled by zombies alone-Levinholm. With the help of the local priest Gregory, Gordon escaped from Levinholm and got in touch with the rebels outside.
2. Rebellion
Gordon, who came out of Lewenholm, helped the rebels stationed at the dock to engage in a firefight with the regular troops (as the situation became more and more serious, the joint army had dispatched the regular troops at this time). With the help of the rebels, I spoke to Alex by radio. Dezhi Eli has been arrested and detained in Nova Mine, a large prison. Alex suggested Gordon take the seaside road to the Nova mine, and Alex himself used the train of the United Army to enter, and they agreed to meet in the Nova mine.
Gordon drove the reconnaissance vehicle provided by the rebels across the beach and onto Highway 17. The regular army of the United Army set up many checkpoints on the road to intercept Gordon, but they all failed.
Gordon finally arrived at the lighthouse station, where he participated in a defensive war, and then arrived at the rebel stronghold outside Nova Mine. A Verdigan helped Gordon get the pheromone capsule from the ant lion guards and taught Gordon how to use it. Gordon used the protection of pheromone to close the ant lion limiter on the periphery of Nova mine, which made the ant lion enter Nova mine through the underground, causing chaos. The joint army confirmed that Freeman had done this action through aerial reconnaissance. The joint army sent more reinforcements and even super troops, which failed to stop the ant lion. Gordon got into the prison by making trouble, and had a round with Alex. They found Eli and Mosman was a traitor, and the action of searching the eastern part of Montenegro was the information provided by mosman for the joint army. Alex and Gordon intend to escape by using the space-time teleporter of the Allied Forces, and as a result, mosman secretly uses the teleporter to teleport Eli and himself. The army of the joint army is approaching, but Alex and Gordon have to reopen the transmitter and escape to the laboratory in kleiner.
By the time they got to kleiner, a week had passed, although they didn't feel it.
during this week, the rebels launched an uprising to rescue Eli, who had moved to the castle, and the 17th city has fallen into the flames of war.
