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

Chapter 708: Chapter 436: Gains and Losses_1

Three hours later, Harrison Clark woke up on time due to the electric shock.

The amount of information that Scarlett captured during these three hours far exceeded Harrison’s imagination.

With Scarlett’s current performance, it would be impossible to process all of it.

For every second of information flowing through the external quantum network, Scarlett would need at least 100,000 seconds to complete a preliminary interpretation.

Fortunately, it seems that Scarlett had gained something from reading Harrison’s memories, and perhaps the fact that its power core had been equipped with a large number of rechargeable ZS biological batteries, such as snake gall bladder, tiger tail, and wolf fang, had also imbued it with a touch of wisdom; it vaguely mastered a unique skill.

This unique skill was to quickly skim through information, extract key points, and put aside what wasn’t understood while focusing on the important matters.

First, Harrison took a quick look at the current level of human technology, which was the most important.

Orion Arm humans currently share a single intelligent main brain, with information being basically universal.

Thanks to the real-time information transmission capabilities brought by faster-than-light cross-distance quantum communication, although the territorial dimension spans up to 5,000 light-years, there is basically no technological gap between different planetary systems. Instead, they all exhibit some unique tendencies due to their possession of different special mineral deposits and cosmic environments.

For example, Barnard’s Star’s Austrian Isotope 305 super high-energy heavy cannon, XZ879 Galaxy’s all-energy absorption natural rock warships, VBX64501 Star’s rapid recharging stellar cannon, and Code 001’s ultra-small stellar engine slow speed fortress, etc.

Harrison carefully examined the current military status of humans and summarized it as follows:

First, humans no longer need to develop particle-interference bombs. Previously, the creation of every particle-interference bomb required the sacrifice of the mental capabilities of a commander-level member. There was no choice in the past, but now there is no need for this.

At the beginning of the 28th century, Ourten Research Institute fully absorbed the antimatter conversion principle hidden in the particle-interference bomb and invented a technology that could stably convert stellar radiation energy into a controllable mass of antimatter, quickly popularizing it among the masses. Nowadays, humans can create antimatter bombs on their own.

Second, after 500 years of development and full commitment from dozens of star systems, humans built a massive war fortress called Code 001. Its power source is a small star. Although this war fortress can only travel slowly in the cosmos, it has a truly inexhaustible energy source due to the star inside it, which is currently the main combat equipment that humans take pride in.

Third, the average gen activation level of newborn humans already exceeds 35%, reaching 37.66%. The human race has truly evolved into the stage of Galactic Humans.

Fourth, the dark energy black hole bomb, once a distant and unattainable weapon, is now a conventional long-range weapon in interstellar warfare and incorporates curvature motion capabilities in interstellar missiles.

Fifth, humans invented an ultra-fast navigation technology that can fully enter curvature subspace and reach a speed of 20 times the speed of light. This breaks Harrison’s previous understanding that a speed of 9.999… times the speed of light would lead to infinite speed, allowing one to travel anywhere in the cosmos instantaneously.

Ultra-fast curvature motion requires subspace, which must follow a fixed pattern in the universe.

There is a network of gravitational lines in the cosmos, much like a spider web.

When a spacecraft follows the gravitational line network and enters the curvature subspace, it can move forward safely and quickly.

Scientists have named it Supercurved Motion, which is somewhat similar in function to the warp of the Compound Eye civilization.

However, Harrison was well aware that the gravitational line network studied by human scientists actually completely overlapped with the Compound Eye civilization’s “transportation arteries.” They were still following the same path, and humans had yet to surpass Compound Eye civilization’s warp technology.

The reasons were twofold: first, they were not as fast as the Compound Eyes, and second, human ships had to continuously accelerate over long distances and compress the space in front of them until they broke the limitations of the three-dimensional universe so they could enter a stable subspace protected by the curvature bubble.

Sixth, humans still absorbed a lot of information about the Compound Eye civilization left behind by Harrison, especially regarding the S and Z bacteria.

Although they could not actually obtain samples of these two bacteria, later generations successfully reverse-engineered some core gene fragments of the Z and S bacteria based on Harrison’s description of their protein structures. They successfully developed large-scale biological power engines to propel large warships.

Seventh, humans successfully deviated from the path of Compound Eye civilization. With the tremendous computing power provided by Star, the super-brain, and the dedicated contributions of countless scientists, humans mastered a new technology called Quantum Warp.

The core principle involves constructing stargates in two different locations.

Each stargate can be remotely located via quantum entanglement, providing a stable subspace behind the absolutely plane gates, independent of the technology of the Compound Eye civilization.

This subspace is very short.

Although the two distant stargates are very far apart, they share the same subspace behind their doors. Energy and matter can first accelerate to a speed of light curvature motion, then enter the stargate, and immediately appear outside another gate.

The inventor of this technology was not human, but Star.

As a quantum life form, Star exhibited intelligence and personality traits while possessing initial innovative abilities.

One day in the early 30th century, Star, tired of always transmitting information, tried to break a piece of metal down into basic energy. After crossing a distance of 10 light-years to a different space, it reassembled the metal, which was identical to the original.

Later on, Star, along with human scientists, tried to establish a more stable subspace channel. They began by using only energy, then gradually added matter and eventually living organisms. Finally, two volunteers successfully piloted a small spacecraft through an experimental stargate, declaring the establishment of this technology.

The maximum distance between interconnected stargates cannot exceed 100 light-years.

So far, this distance has not been broken, and scientists initially speculated that the reason might be that the subspace behind the stargate is not sufficient to support the folding effect of outer space over such a vast distance, and cannot resist the cosmos’s natural tendency to restore its “straight-line” space.

So far, humans have built 1,024 stargates, located in various parts of the civilized territories, serving as important transportation hubs.

In concept, the stargates were similar to artificial wormholes that Harrison had read about in 21st-century science fiction novels.

In summary, humans made significant progress in the three core technologies of unified force, antimatter, and dark energy.

Currently, Orion Arm humans are vigorously advancing another project – comprehensive dark energy extraction.

Exploration ships in the upper part of the Orion Arm discovered a peculiarly stable small dark energy black hole about 3,000 light-years away from the Solar System. Its core gravity influence had a diameter of only about the size of Jupiter, and it was very stable.

Humans have built a gigantic rotating orbital ball with a diameter comparable to Jupiter’s orbit around this dark energy black hole.The orbital ball is made up of countless interlaced giant metal rings, like the vine balls ancient people used for playing football.

The metal rings counteract the gravitational pull of the black hole through high-speed rotation and high-strength stable structure. An even larger black Dyson membrane grows and spreads on the exterior of the metal ball.

This Dyson membrane does not absorb sunlight, but absorbs radiant energy.

The radiation energy comes from matter dispersed when humans voluntarily throw material into this small dark energy black hole, and it is repeatedly accelerated by the absolute reflection mirrors on the orbital ball rings, creating new energy out of thin air.

Theoretically, as long as humans do not “fill” this dark energy black hole, it can release energy for billions of years.

Moreover, since dark energy has the effect of negative mass in the visible universe, it is much easier for humans to leave with this dark energy black hole than with a star as an engine power source.

Even theoretically, if a huge curvature bubble could be created, humans could carry the Dyson membrane, rotating orbital ball and dark energy black hole, and leave by means of supercurved motion.

According to the calculations of scientists, humans would then have the chance to leave the Milky Way and travel to extragalactic galaxies, even to the further reaches of the universe.

Harrison Clark was amazed by the ideas of the scientists in this timeline.

He was only thinking about how to defeat the Compound-Eyed Observers within the Milky Way, but people after him had already started pondering how to leave the Milky Way beforehand.

It’s not a bad way to solve the problem once and for all.

If humanity had a few more million years, perhaps the mad scientists of later generations would really be able to figure something out and succeed.

Unfortunately, there is not enough time left.

Besides, the current system being implemented by human civilization is a federal system, signing the highest treaty of mutual assistance and surveillance, and different planetary systems are essentially equal in status.

A total of 14,400 planetary system representatives were selected from 14,400 planetary systems, along with more than 6,000 core representatives in other areas such as science, politics, and military.

Important decisions will be put to a vote in the quantum network.

There is also a supreme committee to quickly resolve some internal disputes.

Humans have also come up with a new name for this brand-new civilization system.

Harrison Clark found this name quite incongruous when he saw it.

Morrowind Empire.

It left him speechless.

It is clearly a federal system but is named an empire, truly absurd.

The territory of the Morrowind Empire has been divided into two layers, consisting of seventy-two star districts.

These are the inner eight core star districts and the outer sixty-four development star districts.

The geometric center point of the eight core regions is precisely the Solar System.

The 14,400 colonized planetary systems are distributed among these seventy-two star districts, which is not evenly allocated.

After all, most stars simply don’t have planets, leaving no opportunity for planetary transformation.

While humans can indeed create planets from scratch, the efficiency of such development is too slow.

After scanning the overall situation, Harrison Clark was basically satisfied.

In his mind, human progress in this timeline was not bad, with technological progress roughly equivalent to that of the thirty-fifth century in the eighth timeline, stealing an additional five hundred years.

However, there is actually a limited increase in strength, and a bottleneck has currently been reached.

Based on his experience, just with the humans’ current tools, there is no way to defeat the Compound-Eyed Observers’ angular warships.

There is a qualitative change only in territory; apart from the quantum warp stargate which does not possess war attack and defense capabilities, humans still haven’t made enough qualitative changes in other aspects.

Although humans have also explored many weaker civilizations that have not yet reached a level 1 cosmic civilization, they have not gained particularly effective inspirations.

To break the blockade of the prism ships, or to break the shell of the prism ships, is still not enough for now.

He has not yet seen the hope of victory.

He can even vaguely foresee the future direction of this war, and it probably won’t be any different from the process of the Egyptian tribe’s defeat.

He also has a regret.

It seems that due to the extreme expansion of territory, the focus of the development of military weapons in this timeline has shifted somewhat.

He almost did not see any particularly reliable individual combat equipment; all he saw was equipment such as warships, fighter planes, space fortresses, and huge cannons.

The development of individual equipment, which he personally needs strongly, seems to have almost stagnated after the Galaxy Battle Armor.

It hurt him deeply.

Harrison Clark is both somewhat gratified and disappointed.
