Chapter 483: 317: New Crisis_l
No one knows how many expeditionary forces will reach their destination.
Those who stay in the Solar System tell others not to look back once they leave, and they themselves will no longer casually look up at the starry sky, which is meaningless.
People would only pause occasionally during their busy moments of study and work, and silently think of those faces that have gone far away.
Wishing you fair winds and following seas in the distance.
At midnight on January 1, 2500, some subtle changes occurred, seven days after the departure of the last colony ship.
As if counting the seconds, a large radio telescope located in the Pluto settlement was the first to detect some changes.
Scholars quickly calculated their conclusions.
Just now, the speed of light in the vacuum had dropped by one ten-millionth compared to the past standard value.
This sudden change was very subtle, and if the equipment hadn’t been sensitive enough now, and everyone was on high alert, it would have been almost impossible to detect so quickly.
Although the change was small and didn’t affect people’s daily lives and work, it made physicists shudder.
The physical rules within the Solar System had undergone some changes that Earthlings couldn’t understand.
What followed was no different from the past.
The existence of the massive Solar System Barrier was discovered, and this barrier continued to shrink at a not-so-slow speed, compressing the space of the Solar System.
This kind of spatial compression would distort cosmic rules on some level, and it might block the path of progress in theoretical knowledge once human civilization’s technological level reached a certain stage.
Combining the instant changes discovered by previous scholars, scientists concluded that maybe in just an instant, in just a billionth of a second, humanity was locked up.
Harrison Clark’s Compound Eye Crisis was not a story, but a prophecy.
Now his prophecy had come true.
Fortunately, we believed in his prophecy 32 years ahead of time and took decisive action.
World leaders felt twisted.
The dropping of the heavy stone on their hearts is both palpable and suffocating.
In the past timeline, human civilization has experienced this phase of psychological transition.
Humans always feel fear when facing the unknown, and this fear brings chaos, requiring painful self-discipline to gradually accept reality and adapt to the new situation.
But this time it was different, as the leaders’ trust in Harrison Clark’s prophecy was unprecedentedly high, and they knew more about the situation.
Things have happened, and we had already anticipated them.
Since we gave up leaving and chose to stay with the three hundred and seventy billion people, our lexicon no longer includes the word regret.
Harrison Clark’s portrayal in Compound Eye Crisis is clear enough.
If this prophecy is accurate, then his depiction of the invaders who will arrive five hundred years later should also be accurate.
In the movie, the protagonist Nico Ross finally broke through the invader’s battleship, rushed in, and killed one person.
Harrison Clark doesn’t lie, nor does he brag!
He must have “seen” that day.
Moreover, Harrison Clark had already begun preparations five hundred years in advance.
The game he created had this very purpose!
Although our current technology is far behind what he portrayed in the movie, it doesn’t matter, because we still have five hundred years.
We can reach and even surpass the technological level in Compound Eye Crisis.
We will master the Pseudo-Curvature Engine, the Unified Force Field Shield, the Gravitational Wave Device, the enemy’s mysterious bombs, and even the Black Hole Bomb!
Humanity will have the power to fight!
Let’s move forward from now on!
This time, from the establishment of the World Government to the gradual announcement to all of humanity, it only took a month!
Half a year later, over 370 billion people of all mankind accepted this reality.
Some weep.
Some are pessimistic.
Some are desperate.
But more people raised their heads and looked up at the huge statue that was rapidly rising in the city center.
It was a man with a determined face.
Centuries ago, he struggled and dedicated his whole life.
His last words echoed repeatedly in the broadcast.
“I have only one request for you. Don’t stop my unfinished cause and keep moving forward.”
People didn’t really understand what he meant by the unfinished cause in his mouth.
Creation?
Construction?
Struggle?
Benefiting future generations?
Now people know.
All these seemingly lofty speculations were inaccurate.
His unfinished cause was only two simple words.
Existence.
No matter how high the price, how long the struggle, and what kind of enemy we will face, we only have one pursuit.
Human existence cannot be erased!
Those who wept took back their tears, the pessimistic slapped themselves, and the desperate stood up again with their desperate fighting spirit.
The first leader of the World Government, Mason Howard, said, “Everyone, work hard, we still have time, we have five hundred years!”
In the summer of 2500, with the completion of Harrison Clark’s statues in major planetary cities, humanity quickly entered the next era — the 500 Years of Preparation.
On a winter night in 2519, 99.99% of all humanity stayed tense at home, while fully armed soldiers and medical personnel in isolation battle armor were cautiously on guard on the streets.
Humans had already completed mass vaccination and acquired antibodies.
But still, on high alert, the entire population had maintained this kind of stay-at-home for a full three months, now it’s December 31, 2519..
