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

Chapter 670: Chapter 419: The Autumn of the Scavenger (4500 words)_2

The damage to the flying vehicles in the underground warehouse was slightly less severe than on the ship. Although none of them were usable, Harrison Clark spent the whole afternoon relying on his limited knowledge as a mechanic to salvage a few relatively intact parts.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t figure out the functions of these components in a short time and couldn’t attempt to assemble them.

Harrison then found the destroyed energy core in the underground warehouse, inserted a small Snake Gallbladder Biological Battery and attempted to connect it.

The lighting system was restored, and the lights in the underground warehouse came on.

Regrettably, the artificial intelligence system remained unresponsive.

Harrison was not disheartened, as he had held little hope in the first place.

He returned to the main warehouse and sighed deeply when he saw hundreds of neatly stacked parts in the corner.

“Sigh!”

There’s always a need for more knowledge in times of need.

Harrison slightly regretted not learning more from Dr. Owen, the chief scientist, when he had the opportunity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be blindly fumbling in the dark now.

If he gets to meet Dr. Oliver Owens again, he will definitely show more enthusiasm and learn more, instead of always relying on others to take care of the equipment.

Next, Harrison finds the second kinetic control center of the underground warehouse and switches it to manual mode to give it a try.

With a thunderous rumble, the hatch to the underground warehouse, which had not been opened for hundreds of years, slowly opened.

He looked up at the mud and sunshine pouring down from the hatch, accompanied by vines hanging down.

Well, since the hatch could be opened, he could establish a new base in this underground warehouse.

To conserve energy, he stopped using the lights and dragged everything to a sunlit spot. He began assembling the components like an amateur solving a Rubik’s Cube, bit by bit.

Start with the easy tasks first.

By the time it got dark, and he closed the hatch again, crawling out through the original ventilation duct, he had already completed the initial assembly work of a small flying vehicle’s frame structure.

Back in his “bedroom,” Harrison started muttering under his breath while writing his diary.

Since the Compound Eye Civilization didn’t want any written records on Earth, he would be stubborn and write down the events of his life.

“October 27, 3019 A.D.

This is my second day in this timeline.

Today, I ate two wolf ribs and two wolf legs.

Although deep autumn weather makes the temperature low, the two remaining wolves can last for another two days before I have to throw them away.

I was worried, but luckily I found another underground warehouse with a cold storage room.

Another piece of good news is that the gallbladder of the Speckled Giant Python can act as a biological battery and is usable.

In addition, I feel that I have a real talent as a mechanic. In just one day, I assembled a flying vehicle framework of the size of a yacht, even though I still don’t understand the details.

Sooner or later, I will succeed.

Compared to the 21st century, Earth’s flora and fauna have changed dramatically, seemingly retaining Z Bacteria’s characteristics. It could also be due to the strong residual radiation left from the violent wars on Earth, causing a large number of mutations, or interference from the Solar Dome.

In short, the evolution of non-intelligent life forms has been accelerated and is continually advancing toward more efficient movement capabilities.

I speculate that when non-intelligent life forms possess overly powerful abilities, just as dinosaurs ruled the Earth’s ecology before the Cretaceous Period, intelligent life forms will not have any room for evolution and reproduction.

This could be a means for advanced civilizations to limit the development of lower planets that may give birth to civilizations.

This method is extremely insidious and despicable, allowing planets to be controlled for tens of millions of years without destroying them.

All the more, I can be certain that the Compound Eye Civilization hasn’t arrived in the Solar System ahead of schedule and is still on its way.

For now, it’s unclear if the Compound Eye Civilization will arrive as planned because I cannot determine the extent of human colonial development within the Orion Arm.

The Compound Eye Civilization may head straight for Earth or slowly eliminate human forces in the colonies.”

After finishing his writing, Harrison closed his notebook.

Next, he approached the restored Quark Device and turned on the imaging reader, allowing it to analyze a cup of water before copying the exact contents.

He then drank the water that had previously been used as a sample while leaving the new cup of water beside the Quark Device.

Without an Intelligent Brain Chip and Quantum Network Database to support it, the Quark Device was frustratingly limited in functionality, requiring a target sample for every copy it made.

Living alone on a planet after losing all conveniences felt utterly powerless.

Tonight, there was no rain, only a bright moon and stars.

In the lush, green ruins of the town, insects hummed at night, occasionally accompanied by the out-of-season calls of frogs.

In just two days, there were hardly any large animals left near the center of the ruins, even wolves and foxes had run away.

It seemed as though animals had a strong ability to sense danger, knowing that a new king had arrived in the small town.

Moonlight filtered through the vines and cast on the bedroom floor.

The light was a bit intense, but Harrison didn’t want to sleep in a dark place.
