1. @3:50 What exactly did they discover in the robot’s memory that was so surprising, insane and impossible?
2. 3:29 What exactly were those unknown flying objects that attacked the base and where did they come from? If that diamond prism was the cause of all this, how did it gather such a large force of flying units so quickly to destroy the entire planet?!
OOOkkkkkkayy, so why should humanity's lives be controlled by a crystal like oblject, and why didnt anyone on earth use any fuckiong nukes. with the puny guns of a little tiny spcaceship destroying that crystal, what kind of damage would nukes cause it.
Spoiler: the Stone-Like killed them all first before they knew what it was all about. And even later in the game, two of the guys you see here die in futile attempts to destroy the thing.
As for the life-controlling part... let's just say that the Stone-Like protects the Earth, not humanity.
Igurashi: We still haven't determined the purpose of the Stone-Like object that was excavated from the prehistoric layer of the Earth or it's composition, and there's something else we've found interesting, according to the 3rd Scientific Research Division, a robonoid was found near the specimen. It is a Creator Type, the ID number is 00104...
Tengai: What? Are you saying it has the exact same number as our robonoid here? There's got to be a mistake!
Igurashi: I thought the same way at first, but we're the ones who found it, and we are the sole manufacturers of these robots. There IS no mistake.
Creator: DOES. NOT. COMPUTE!
Guy: Maybe you're just goofing off down there? C'mon, find out what this is all about!
Reana: Maybe it has a twin?
Buster: Oh, sure... robo twins!
Igurashi: Currently we are looking at the memory data. As we learn about this, we'll let you know. In the meantime, today's your final test, so please do your best.
ah i love this intro. i still have no clue what they're saying, or what the storyline is to the game. but it's still one of the best games of all time.......
If you didn't understand what does this "All your base" dialog mean: it's a reference to a game named "Zero Wing", which features one of the worst Japanese-to-English translations ever!
Read more at a page named "Encyclopedia Obscura" (reachable through any search engine -- I can't spell it, since "You Tube" doesn't allow comments which contain URLs in them).
I know a place where they translated the entire beginning and the game. I'll probably use the translations there and paste them as subtitles using Aegisub.
2 questions:
1. @3:50 What exactly did they discover in the robot’s memory that was so surprising, insane and impossible?
2. 3:29 What exactly were those unknown flying objects that attacked the base and where did they come from? If that diamond prism was the cause of all this, how did it gather such a large force of flying units so quickly to destroy the entire planet?!

At 9:38 PM, the world was destroyed, and Tetra escaped the planet...
...-_o? So what the fuck are they still doing on Earth 20 minutes later?

Guy: Tsk, tsk... Now c'mon dad, I don't need any test to prove how good I am!
Igurashi: By the way, Tengai, how is my son doing?
Tengai: He's the worst pilot I've ever seen!
Guy: Noooooooooo!!!
Creator: THERE. IS. NO. MISTAKE.

Student A: This is getting boring. There's not even enough of us to do all this work. They should speed up the research on cloning.
Student B: Clones? I heard it's possible to let a robonoid do it, but there's a few problems...
Student A: Of course, it's up to our superiors, because I don't know what's up with them... Now, what's with this thing?
Student B: I have no clue about this stone, but the memory of the robonoid should be coming up soon... Here!

Student A: So, how does it look? Is this what happened?
Student B: Computer, show that part again!
Student A: Besides, is it the same one we've found?
Student B: Headquarters, we have an emergency!
Igurashi: Huh? Give me a report!
Operator #1: There was an explosion in the 3rd Research Division!
Operator #2: Unknown objects are approaching on the radar!
Igurashi: How many?
Operator #2: 8... 16... 32... It's increasing!
Igurashi: Activate Level A alert! Send out all units for combat!

Operator #1: Sir, we've got some data from the 3rd Research Division.
Igurashi: Please put it on screen. What? This stone... this is the memory data from the robonoid? But how?
Creator: THE. HEADQUARTERS. HAS. DECLARED. LEVEL. A. ALERT.
Buster: *whistles*
Reana: Level A?!? Isn't it the highest?! Are we going to die?!
Tengai: Creator, how are things looking at home base?
Creator: UNKNOWN. OBJECTS. HAVE. SURROUNDED. THE. BASE!
Guy: Grr... Dad!

Tengai: We'll go 1200 miles behind the base. Standby on your Silverguns until further orders are given.
Buster/Reana/Guy: Yes, sir!
Tengai: On July the 14th, 2520, the entire world came to an end. Only us four human beings and one robonoid survived...

Operator #1: Somebody set us up the bomb.
Operator #2: We get signal.
Igurashi: What!
Operator #2: Main screen turn on.
Igurashi: It's you!
Stone-Like: How are you gentlemen! All your base are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction.
Igurashi: What you say!
Stone-Like: You have no chance to survive make your time. Ha ha ha ha...

Why is every single fan of the SHMUP genre so interested in this game?

It's one of the best of its kind.
