Harrison Clark wiped his face clean, looking much better. He then made a call for room service to deliver breakfast for ten.
While waiting for the breakfast, he sat in a beach chair on the curved balcony and made himself a cup of instant coffee. He propped his legs on the table, looked over at Carrie Thomas’s bedroom window, and confirmed that the light was off.
Good, she learned her lesson and stopped staying up late.
He then turned his head to stare blankly at the rising sun in the distance, and his mind gradually began to ponder.
Everything was ready except the east wind.
It’s do or die now.
If his actions this time are still perfect, he doesn’t need to expect too much. Just push things forward a bit more, he could find at least two or three surefire strategies for human beings.
So this conclusion is crucial.
About two hours after breakfast, he sat up straight in the beach chair and pulled out his notebook to start jotting down notes.
Although his memory is now very strong, years of compulsory education have made him rely on his pen more than anything else.
He chose handwriting over typing, which might be faster, just to give himself extra time to think and make his decisions more responsibly.
The closer victory gets, the more cautious and apprehensive he becomes.
He should not only further accelerate human development but also avoid any potential negative impact as much as possible.
Even if you can start over after losing, who wouldn’t want to win if they could?
Compared to the past, the progress human beings have made this time is beyond any rational calculation.
In the confrontation with the invaders, they managed to control particle-related bombs, find ways to counter repellent force fields and quantum entangled biological attacks, force out fibers of light, annihilate all first encountered invisible dragonfly fighters, deal with first encountered space collapse-causing black hole bombs, block enemy ship jumping capabilities, shatter light shields, and critically damage enemy ships with particle-interference bombs, and so on…
Every single one of these advancements is something Harrison Clark could never have imagined in the past.
He even killed a compound-eyed observer.
Over seven timelines, dying seven times, he went from not even seeing the enemy’s faces and suffering extinction to finally making the enemy pay in blood.
Based on this achievement alone, Harrison Clark has every reason to be proud.
Most importantly, the advancement in the civilization’s technology level has risen again. In the last timeline, human civilization was barely equivalent to a Kardashev Type II civilization of 2.1, but this time it reached at least 2.4.
Human advancements in understanding unified forces, pseudo-curvatures, black holes, biology, antimatter, mass-energy conversion, the microcosm, and the macrocosm, have all made substantial progress, officially entering into the mid-stage of a Kardashev Type II civilization.
Given enough time without interference, even if technology stagnated from now on, humans could still spread their footprints throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.
In a thousand years, humans have gone from a 0.7-level civilization and managed to break through the 1.7-level limit, even with the 500-year blockade on development, to reach a 2.4-level.
Except for the invaders, Harrison Clark had never had any dealings with other civilizations in the universe.
In fact, he has never communicated with the invaders themselves. However, based on his current understanding, he intuitively believes that it would take at least tens of thousands, if not millions or tens of millions of years for any other civilization to reach this point.
Breaking through the technological bottleneck of each stage may not be as simple as it appears in the progress of humanity witnessed by Harrison Clark.
The universe has its own rules: the transformation from sediment to black gold (oil) takes at least two million years.
The birth and death of stars, on the other hand, are counted in tens of billions or even billions of years.
But for humans in the 21st century, it has only taken a few thousand years to progress from ancient history recorded in books to the launch of spacecraft and the development of space.
In terms of Earth’s 4.6-billion-year history, the short history of human beings from their birth to the 0.7-level civilization is just a blink of an eye.
It took only 200 years for humans to go from steam trains to high-speed trains capable of speeds of over 350 kilometers an hour.
From the first 30-ton, two-pole diode electronic computer capable of performing 5,000 additions per second to the rapid progress of Moore’s Law, where the CPU of mobile phones outperforms past supercomputers, humans took only sixty years.
Humans have leaped through time so quickly that they’ve mistaken the universe’s pace for their own. But upon closer consideration, Harrison Clark realizes that this might not be the case.
For example, when attacking the enemy ship’s internal energy transfer pipeline, he casually conducted a simple half-life analysis on the materials of the ship, which combined both biological and mechanical technology.
The data flashed by, and he didn’t pay too much attention at the time, only giving it a quick glance.
As he recalls now, the seemingly brand-new spherical battleship’s internal energy transfer pipeline is at least five hundred thousand years old.
Half a million years ago, the vessel was created by the enemy.
What were humans on Earth doing back then?
Their hair had not yet receded; they were still fighting with wild beasts using wooden sticks and possibly hadn’t even mastered the technique to preserve fire.
So, with the stealthy operation of Harrison Clark and the countless pioneers who tirelessly struggled, the progress humanity made in the last timeline could perhaps be considered a wonder of the universe.
What he wants to do now is make the brilliance of this universal wonder even more dazzling – so dazzling that even the Solar System barrier cannot block it. First, for the next time, he needs to maintain the current trend – suppressing the penetration of “Song of the Wilderness” and the extermination of S Bacteria, keeping them suppressed until they’re gasping for breath..
