Five days later, under the glare of countless camera flashes, Harrison Clark, Rainer, Chris Owen, representatives from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Securities Regulatory Commission, banking system, and various other departments appeared together for a historic group photo.
In the center of the photo, Harrison Clark and Chris Owen each held a properly signed document.
Usually, cooperation on such a scale, from the establishment of the project to negotiation, would take at least a year or as long as five to six years.
Nobody expected Harrison Clark to sign the contract in just five days, complete the groundbreaking ceremony for the base, and announce the successful project, as well as launch a global recruitment drive.
Everyone, including the department heads present, Rainer, and Chris Owen himself, was caught off guard by the fast pace, feeling as if they had been dreaming.
The world couldn’t help but marvel at Superman’s extraordinary life, as if it were fast-forwarding.
Came Thomas, who was in Los Angeles at the time, was also shocked. She couldn’t believe how different he seemed in just twenty-something days. If not for the familiar face of Harrison Clark in the television interview and the occasional hints of fatigue in his voice over the phone, Carrie would have thought five years had passed.
She wanted to criticize Harrison, asking why he was so dedicated.
But ultimately, she didn’t. Instead, she felt deep shame.
While he built a new Rome in twenty days, she had not even finished recording “Sharp edges fully exposed.”
!!..
No, she had to work harder and not be left behind by him.
At least she couldn’t let that annoying Rainer outdo her!
After the meeting, the noisy crowd dispersed, and Chris Owen left to attend to Whale Group matters.
Unlike Summit Ventures – which had a simple structure and where Harrison Clark’s word was law – Whale Group was a large enterprise with complex stakeholder interests. Chris Owen had much more on his plate.
At night, Harrison Clark and Rainer walked side by side on a footpath in the fields outside Oxfordshire.
It was late, and the two of them had come to this remote place for serious business.
Next to the footpath was a plot of land owned by the Whale Group for many years. It was a 40-minute drive from Oxfordshire city and covered over 800 acres.
In the distance, vehicle headlights flickered, and excavators roared towards them with their engines whirring.
From time to time, road rollers rumbled past, flattening the long-abandoned fields.
The scene was bustling.
As soon as the funds were in place, Harrison Clark ordered the start of the land leveling project.
Soon, a large research institute would rise from the site, with an estimated construction period of no more than two years.
Beyond China’s speed, there was the even faster Harrison Clark pace.
When he was in control of a project, he became the ultimate in a line of construction fanatics.
At this time, the sky was pitch black with no moonlight or stars visible.
Frogs could be heard occasionally croaking beside the path.
Occasionally, a small fish would leap from a puddle before plopping back into the water with a splash.
These fish seemed to sense the vibrations caused by the road rollers and could feel danger looming.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have wings and were destined to be buried deep alongside the puddle.
Rainer joyfully watched the night-working engineering vehicles and exclaimed, “The efficiency is incredible. That’s one of the reasons I want to come back to the UK. My lab renovation in Boston took an entire year.” Harrison Clark nodded, “In the current era, different nations, systems, and races have different behaviors. China is still lagging, so Chinese people can’t enjoy a comfortable life. We have to work hard.”
“Hmm. So, Harrison, which side do you think is better?”
Harrison Clark pondered, “Those who benefit from knowledge domination and complacency are being irresponsible to humanity. This is an objective fact But we don’t have to criticize them. Laziness is one of the human natures. Overcoming this nature is difficult without external threat. Nature accompanies us throughout our lives and stays with us until we end up in a coffin. It’s easy to do something once, but hard to do it for a lifetime. However if everyone recognizes the need for diligence, we’ll all be able to do it eventually.”
Rainer was surprised, “Harrison, your speeches are so inspiring. I think you could be a great politician.”
Harrison Clark shrugged, “Don’t underestimate people. A good politician isn’t just about talk. You and I are both intellectuals, so don’t entertain these far-fetched fantasies, as they’re way out of our league.”
“Why won’t you be the dean of the Summit Research Institute then? You’re more suitable for that position than me, aren’t you?”
Rainer asked his real question: “Even though all the technological achievements were proposed by you, having me as dean will inevitably dilute your accomplishments. I even have this feeling that you could do it without me and your achievements would be at their peak. Why do you need me?”
Harrison Clark nonchalantly smiled, “Although you’re smart, you can’t imagine what the peak I’m aiming for looks like. These so-called achievements don’t even compare to my real goal. Also, don’t belittle yourself. With you, I can do it without a doubt. Without you, I’d have only a 50% chance.”
After speaking, Harrison Clark turned his back and walked further away.
He understood Rainer’s thoughts.
However, he couldn’t personally oversee the research and development since it wasn’t on the same level as his knowledge base.
If he wanted to do what Rainer could do, he would have to spend several more years accumulating knowledge under the modern system.
He had only one month left. He couldn’t wait, and there was no need.
With available talent, there was no need for him to waste so much time.
Harrison Clark had other plans to accomplish, and he couldn’t possibly devote his entire life to this endeavor with limited rewards.
As for leaving a lasting legacy?
Peaking in achievements?
Was that important?
Perhaps all these would do is make his statue, standing in the capital of the World Government thousands of years later, a bit larger – maybe even gold-plated to look cooler.However, Rainer’s words stirred up another layer of thought in him.
Harrison realized that his social status in this era had risen dramatically.
He could now have a direct influence on the higher levels of humanity in some ways.
So, could he reveal some secrets now?
Harrison decided to make a preliminary test on Rainer.
Rainer, as a physicist, what do you think of time travel?”
Rainer shook his head decisively, “No, it’s impossible.”
Harrison was taken aback, “Huh?”
Hearing Harrison’s tone, Rainer instantly changed his attitude, “Harrison, do you have a different view? Tell me, tell me.”
Ramer’s emotions gradually became agitated, and his speech seemed to tremble towards the end.
He thought that the real master, Harrison, was about to throw out another invincible argument.
Breaking through the wall of time is a dream that every physicist has had after drinking too much.
Emotions drive them to dream, but their learned knowledge always turns off the light of the dream.
Harrison looked at him with a hairy eye, shaking his head again, “I personally think it’s impossible too. But I’ve read a science fiction novel before where the protagonist can travel back and forth between the present and the future. He can…”
“Harrison, that’s not called science fiction. That’s called mythology.” “Uh, are you judging this from a rational scientific view or a sentimental worldview?”
Rainer shook his head wildly, “Either way, it’s impossible. It goes against the laws of space-time. If there was such a person, it seems like he’s just constantly crossing time on the small Earth. But you have to know that every time he changes the timeline afterward, it’s not just human or Earth’s fate that is affected.”
“It’s the entire universe! No matter how tiny the changes he causes in each timeline he experiences, they will be infinitely magnified by the universe, making the energy flow in the universe different every time. In this process, the universe’s timeline is constantly torn apart by him, splitting into countless branches leading to different directions, like cutting through bamboo. How can an individual human life withstand the impact of such a huge energy change?” Harrison fell silent.
If even Rainer, who blindly worshipped him and had a high level of scientific knowledge, thought this way, it was still impossible to talk to others about it. Harrison had seen many science fiction movies, and he knew that many people liked to play with time travel.
But saying it out loud might not make anyone believe it.
Even a thousand years later, movies about time travel are still science fiction! And the scholars of that era all agreed that even in a hundred thousand years, humans would still make science fiction movies with time travel as a gimmick. It’s really enduring and durable.
This is terrifying.
As the first and possibly the last Galactic Human in human history, Harrison felt a touch of sadness at the thought.
Even sadder was that he couldn’t explain the phenomenon in himself.
He gritted his teeth and asked, “So, let me change the question. Aren’t you curious about how I conducted my research?”
This question was very sharp.
By normal reasoning, combined with his previous question, this gave Rainer a very strong and clear hint.
Unexpectedly, Rainer still shook his head calmly, “Of course I’m curious, but please allow me to say something arrogant. In the eyes of ordinary people, I am an unattainable genius. They don’t understand my way of thinking. In my eyes, you are an unattainable genius too. No matter how curious I am about you, I can’t understand your way of thinking.”
“Every mathematician, physicist, and astronomer who has made a mark in history doesn’t need to explain to ordinary people who don’t understand him why he came up with this idea. I have studied biology, and I know that our brains have unlimited potential. Albert Einstein propelled General Relativity, and Paul Dirac propelled Quantum Mechanics, all relying not on machines but on their minds. So do I, and even more so, you. So I don’t want and don’t dare to imitate your research methods.”
Harrison silently gave him a thumbs up.
This explanation is very strong, and I approve.
“Besides, Harrison, you’re not the first person like this in human history.” “Hmm?”
“A hundred years ago, Tesla was like you, but you should be stronger than him.”
Harrison smiled, “Well, indeed, that’s too much praise.”
A hundred years, Tesla.
That’s nice.
Thank you, seniors, for sheltering me.
After talking with Rainer, Harrison returned to his rented house and took out the gilt notebook again.
He looked at the calendar on his mobile phone.
April 23, 2020.
Two days to go.
This time the preparations were more meticulous, so it was time to start writing the Version 2.0 of the cheats for himself early on.
Bent over, pen in hand.
The unique thinking mode of the Galactic Human roared into action, and the myriad threads of ideas about the future began to grow and spread from the depths of his mind, intertwining and entwining, eventually growing into a towering tree that stretched all the way to a thousand years later..</p
