Chapter 694: Chapter 430: Why Can’t It Be Me?4400 words, Thanks to Alliance Leader Frog Bro?_3
Abandoning a stellar system is equivalent to giving up a piece of cosmic knowledge that humanity has mastered, and giving up a possible path of evolution.
This kind of loss is intangible yet immense.
Moreover, this was the birthplace of humankind.
Without a doubt, the physical laws of the Solar System are the most suitable for human beings.
Therefore, in accordance with biological, psychological, and various other theories, it is reasonable to say that human technological progress should be the fastest within the Solar System.
Supporting evidence can be found in the “stories” left by the ancient sage Harrison Clark.
In the timeline mentioned above, even under the dome’s rule-changing suppression, the Earthlings within the Solar System managed to achieve technological progress surpassing the colonies of Barnard’s Star and Proxima Centauri before the final battle.
Mason Howard, the representative figure who firmly wished to remain in the system and the highest political leader of the World Government, said, “Since the enemy has the Solar Dome, it is certain that one of our systems must bear the pressure from the dome. If that is the case, why can’t it be our homeworld? What difference does it make whether we leave or stay? Why not leave some people behind to hold the line and further develop the potential of our Solar System? Perhaps we can create even more. After all, we are still waiting for that one person, right?”
From then on, the dispute ended, and some people left while others stayed.
When someone asked Mason to leave, he just laughed and said, “Someone needs to stay. Why can’t it be me?”
Eventually, 37 billion people left, and 16 billion remained.
Among the 16 billion, nearly 11 billion were people of Chinese descent.
Some things truly remain etched deep within our bones.
Root-seeking is an emotional attachment and a genetic dependency. The decisions to leave or stay are neither right nor wrong. It all depends on personal choice.
In 2500, the Solar Dome descended as scheduled.
Those who stayed behind on the Homeworld lost all contact with the outside world and could not receive any external information.
However, they remained calm since this was already part of the warning left by the ancient sage Harrison Clark.
They knew that the colonies outside could observe the Solar System’s interior context.
Therefore, in theory, the information from within the Solar System could be relayed to the people outside via the photoelectric signals.
The stayers were not concerned about whether they could leave or not, nor their final outcome, but rather about whether they could create more value.
Over the next twenty years, with the secret assistance of “Morning Wind” and the 500 years of technological accumulation brought by the “Plan,” the technological innovation capability of the Solar System skyrocketed.
In the year 2500, the second gene awakening procedure that broke through the 35% gene awakening threshold and gene-related resonance training equipment appeared.
At the beginning of 2501, the full-fledged Quantum Intelligence Star descended.
By the end of 2502, Summit Fortress was completed.
By the end of 2503, the first Snowflake Battleship landed.
In mid-2505, the first Galaxy Battle Armor appeared.
By the end of 2508, with the help of Quantum Intelligence Star, stay-behinder scholar Maxwell Owen successfully created the first Particle-interference Bomb after absorbing the information left by Harrison Clark.
In 2511, the Black Hole Bomb was invented.
By 2518, the Gene-Modified Warriors’ technology emerged.
In mid-2519, the real curvature engine was successfully developed and began to be equipped.
By the end of the same year, the Planting Battleship Research Institute was established to begin a sprint on this new path.
These twenty years were called the miraculous years.
The stay-behinders proved with facts that their decision to stay was the right one.
They understood that perhaps the technology they were researching might never have a chance to confront the enemy directly.
However, it was still the 26th century, and their journey had just begun. Who knows what the future holds?
Moreover, countless seeds in the colonies were absorbing the information sent by those who stayed behind.
Our struggles have never been in vain!
For our loved ones in the distance are always watching us from afar.
That person is still waiting for us five hundred years later!
