I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 730: Chapter 446: No One’s Success is Accidental_1

Harrison Clark planned to study at least ten thousand sub-civilization development systems and two hundred thousand special planetary systems, which is about one-tenth of the total amount of cosmological knowledge currently mastered by humans.

However, a hundred years later, he only completed less than one percent, and only successfully visited less than two thousand planetary systems.

He really tried his best.

He was like Sisyphus pushing a stone. According to the pre-calculated optimal route, he would advance, arrive, read, leave, advance, arrive again, and read again…

Thus, he repeated the cycle, going on eternally without an endpoint.

His knowledge grew rapidly, but compared to the vast amount of knowledge available, it was still just a drop in the ocean.

Harrison Clark still hadn’t found anything that impressed him.

But he was not in a hurry; he had already gotten used to searching for light in a pitch-black future.

It was just the accumulation of knowledge that couldn’t create a breakthrough in a qualitative change in status.

He remained calm and firmly believed that good days would come eventually.

To speed up his understanding and break through cognitive biases, God knows how many light-years he traveled in a hundred years.

During these hundred years, the battlefront between the Compound-Eyed Observers and humans kept changing.

Despite the fearlessness of humans, the gap between the two sides didn’t narrow. In just a few decades, more than two thousand human planetary systems in the eight core star regions had been wiped out one after the other.

After that, the Compound-Eyed Observers divided their forces again, no longer using ten thousand prism ships as a complete combat unit. Instead, they continued to disintegrate the fleet and adjusted the size of their military force according to the target star region and combat strategy, with just a few prism ships forming a small-scale cleanup squad, while tens or even hundreds of thousands of prism ships gathered for large-scale wars.

Since 3077, the war had spread to sixty-four development star regions, and it no longer showed a clear linear pattern, but infiltrated deep into the hinterlands of all development star regions.

On the star map, the star systems in the eight core regions were all marked with the orange-yellow color representing extinction.

Red dots representing the ongoing war were spreading from the edge of Morrowind Empire’s territory to the border of the core star regions.

These red dots were scattered sporadically, mostly concentrated in the star systems with a strong backup military source, artificial cultivation ability, and industrial capacity.

The changing battlefront also caused considerable difficulties for Harrison Clark’s covert operations.

Walking by the river, one would eventually get their feet wet.

After all, he could only rely on Scarlett in the Quantum Network to scrape information. His sources of intelligence were highly accidental, and he frequently encountered intelligence omissions. These led to several occasions where he almost collided head-on with his own fleet or the Compound-Eyed Observers’ fleet while exiting the medium layer of super-curved flight or smuggling through a Stargate.

Luckily, with the blessings of the sages, he always managed to turn bad luck into good fortune.

One day, after Harrison Clark finished studying another book, he put down the textbook, got up from the study, and went to the Biological Research Institute.

Freddy was conducting an experiment there.

If Harrison Clark’s knowledge was growing rapidly, Freddy’s knowledge was growing at the speed of light.

Harrison Clark only mastered one-tenth of the knowledge in cosmology.

But Freddy covered it all, and he did it just to prepare for his lectures for Harrison Clark.

Freddy also showed a clear interest inclination.

Sergey, Freddy’s predecessor, was an absolute genius in the fields of physics and engineering.

His accomplishments in biology were also impressive, but he was never satisfied with them and even felt inferior.

Yet strangely, Freddy was Sergey’s clone, and their genes were identical.

One would expect his inclinations to be highly consistent with Sergey’s, but his interests, hobbies, and talent boundaries were all misaligned.

When he came into contact with biological knowledge, he demonstrated a significantly stronger grasp.

For example, to master the same level of cosmological knowledge in biology, Freddy would only need ten minutes, while it would take him twenty minutes for other fields.

No one knew whether Freddy’s deep mutation was due to his fusion with the Gelasians or if the obsession of the original Sergey towards biology was transferred into the clone.

This actually proved Freddy’s words from a certain angle: “I am not Sergey, I am Freddy.”

The two were different.

During this century, Harrison Clark studied the technological progress of subordinate civilizations, while Freddy focused primarily on countless incredible alien life forms.

Whether they were intelligent or not, all were subjects of his study.

For example, silica-based life on super-large planets, intelligent plants, highly toxic carbon-based life, soft-bodied intelligent life, aquatic intelligence, collective intelligence, lava life, non-intelligent but definitely possessing complete autonomous consciousness and group consciousness pure energy life forms, slow vacuum life…

Most intelligent life forms are born in environments such as air, water, or molten rock and magma.

These elements are the foundation of complex chemical reactions.

The planet-sized rock life that once witnessed the war between the Compound Eye civilization and the Egyptian tribe was extremely rare.

Unfortunately, it’s now dead, turning into a real stone.

Therefore, most of the planetary environments in Orion’s Arm are vastly different from Earth, causing these alien life forms to possess characteristics to suit their unique environments. It’s almost impossible for life forms from different planets to coexist in the same environment.

For human beings, the Earth’s atmospheric oxygen environment is essential for survival. However, for other civilizations’ life forms, it’s deadly toxic.

To accommodate subordinate civilizations that entered the cosmic era earlier, humans had to create separate living areas on their ships for them.

The same was true for Morrowind No.2. Freddy divided half of the vast biological research workshop into thousands of different simulated environment grids.

Each grid contained one or a group of alien life forms. Most of them were ordinary, non-intelligent life forms, but some were intelligent as well.These things hurt Harrison Clark’s sense of justice a bit.

It turned out that once humans had the upper hand, they would also possess the natural tendency to plunder and enslave other civilizations, just like Earthlings raising pigs.

It’s just that Earthlings aren’t so afraid of war, and their innate ability to be inclusive in their culture means that with the complexity of the quantum structures in their brains, they don’t need to worry too much about being threatened by the cultural invasion of a low-level civilization.

Back then, “Song of the Wilderness” did indeed slightly alter the way human brains processed logic, but it didn’t fundamentally distort their worldviews.

In those failed timelines, the spirit of human resistance never waned.

The control of ZS Bacteria over humans appeared mysterious, but it was actually a biological hormone mechanism, replacing human brain thinking with a non-human thought pattern instead of invading the consciousness.

Harrison Clark didn’t stop Freddy’s actions, as long as it could help increase Fred’s knowledge, he didn’t mind being the bad guy.

Of course, Freddy’s research was useful.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Within these hundred years, he had transmitted over fifty research achievements, including but not limited to ZS Bacteria, to the Morrowind Empire through Morse code in the Gelasian’s miniature quantum network.

It couldn’t be said that Freddy alone was ahead of an entire era. With his personal research capabilities, he was equivalent to adding another high-level biological research institute to humanity.

As Freddy was still busy in the workshop, Harrison Clark had nothing important to ask him, but just wanted to inquire about the progress of his research.

Taking advantage of this spare time, Harrison Clark quickly skimmed the latest war reports.

The situation remained the same, bleak, and perhaps even worse.

Although the frontline soldiers had collected countless energy feedback intelligence and transmitted it back, the research institutions and researchers in various stellar systems had tried their best to crack the codes, but they simply couldn’t.

So far, human beings hadn’t managed to shoot down a single Angular Warship.

At one point, a massive fleet consisting of 30 million human special warfare warships successfully ambushed and trapped an Angular Warship, bombarding it for five full years.

In that small space area, the special warfare fleet released enough energy to detonate a star.

But the trapped Prism Ship remained motionless and unscathed.

Then, a new fleet of Edge Ships arrived and formed a counter-siege against the special warfare fleet, bringing an end to this protracted siege.

Only then did humans realize that it was all a trap and bait.

The Compound-Eyed Observer’s war concept changed dramatically, from the initially clumsy and protracted warfare to increasingly advanced ambush tactics, bait tactics, and beheading decapitation ambushes.

The Compound-Eyed Observer’s application of their own weapons also continued to improve, no longer relying on brute force but instead using variations in tactics and strategies, as well as new methods of utilizing their own weapons, to pursue more efficient and lethal attacks.

Moreover, in 3018, their first Stargate was completed just outside the Solar System, and the second one was built 2,000 light-years away from the Solar System, closer to the Galactic Center.

At this time, human Stargate could only cross a distance of 100 light years!

Not only were all human actions within the Compound Eye Civilization’s calculations, but they even went so far as to absorb human war concepts and technology.

The technology they stole was even twenty times more advanced than humans’ from the very beginning!

From then on, the Compound Eye Civilization no longer left human Stargates intact and began to eliminate them one by one.

Humans immediately launched a counterattack, dispatching fleets to attack these two Compound Eye Stargates.

Both suicidal fleets thought they would encounter resistance halfway but arrived easily instead.

The Compound Eye Stargates seemed undefended.

But once the suicidal fleets approached, they found out why.

The Compound Eye Stargate was fundamentally different from the mechanical structures of human Stargates; it was a living organism!

It was a white plasma-spewing “giant serpent” with hair-like long whiskers all over its body. Its head and tail were connected, forming a circular structure encircling the abyss-like mouth.

When the human fleet arrived, the “giant serpent” suddenly stretched out its body and whipped its tens of millions of kilometers long body around, spewing white plasma from its mouth.

Compared to human Stargates without active offensive and defensive capabilities, this Compound Eye Stargate not only absorbed human technology but also seamlessly integrated the Compound-Eyed Observer’s bio-weapon technology.

The leaders of the Morrowind Empire suddenly realized and felt a bone-chilling terror.

Harrison was equally shocked.

Having received information transmitted by the relics of the Egyptian tribe and seen their stone life memory videos, he was very familiar with such situations.

The war between those two races was like that.

At first, both sides had their victories, and the battle seemed evenly matched, but once Angular Warship emerged, the Egyptian tribe quickly retreated and was extinguished rapidly.

This indicated that the Compound Eye Civilization had drained the enemy’s technology, and it was time for a complete sweep of the battleground.

It wasn’t just luck that allowed those damned Fly Men to dominate the Virgo Home Galaxy first and then the Milky Way, expanding their territory; it was also their infuriatingly rapid learning abilities, achieved through their crushing biotechnology.

Harrison really wanted to speed up his own reverse-absorption process.

But with only Freddy by his side this time, there was nothing he could do.

With a weary sigh, Harrison stopped looking through the war reports and decided to leave through self-destruction when human extinction was close enough.

“I just made a new discovery, and I think you’ll be very happy,” said Freddy, emerging from the biological laboratory clad in a protective suit.

On the face of this middle-aged man, there was a rare glimpse of a smile.
