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

Chapter 765: Chapter 463: The Inevitable Exposure of History_1

“This old guy… really… knows how to have fun. Can’t even die properly.”

After watching the video, Harrison Clark was both amused and troubled, the sadness of the long-awaited reunion after a century was greatly diminished.

Harrison suddenly thought of something, “That video was only seen by me, right? Has it always been stored in your data?”

Star quickly caught on, “Are you worried about leaks?”

“Yes, since the Shadow Galaxy has been targeted by Compound-Eyed Observer, our communications could also be infiltrated.”

Star: “On that note, our technicians have also considered this. Don’t worry. Our reverse pseudo-dome created with the Ten-layer Dyson Membrane has information isolation capabilities, and the Shadow Galaxy’s network is limited to the internal scope of the galaxy. The connection between you and me is not established on the traditional quantum network either.”

Harrison Clark: “Is it relayed through Gelasians’ sub-network?”

“No, it’s through the resonance between Scarlett and me, then through the medium-layer quantum channel for a direct connection with Freddy, eventually forming an information channel. Simply put, you can understand it as my Superbrain Core and Freddy’s brain resonating, and the information you receive is directly from Freddy’s access to the neural connection using his own spaceship equipment… ”

Harrison Clark expressed that he couldn’t understand, but he roughly understood the idea that the communication between him and Star was different from the traditional quantum network, and it was absolutely safe, with no information leakage, only point-to-point transmission.

He casually said, “If that’s how it works in terms of technology, then okay.”

In his understanding, there is no absolute in anything.

As long as information goes online, there’s always a risk of exposure.

The Compound-Eyed Observer had been observing the quantum network of Orion Arm Humans for hundreds of years, and the infiltration of the Shadow Galaxy must have taken some time as well.

Therefore, the fact that he can travel back and forth through time might not be kept a secret, and it could be already known.

But he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

After all, there are no walls in the world that don’t leak.

Especially since this time, his actions have left too many traces that have greatly changed the course of human civilization and involved too many aspects.

The Salvation Association and World Government left so many important figures in the Shadow Galaxy, which would inevitably result in the rewriting of history, causing a loss of diversity in history and leaving behind traces of human intervention.

These traces would be remembered by humanity and could also be secretly observed and summarized by the Compound Eye Civilization, deducing his existence.

Exposure to such things was inevitable, and Harrison had been mentally prepared for it.

In the previous timelines, the reason he always kept secrets was:

First, because his previous changes to civilization were subtle, belonging to indirect actions with a side effect, his personal traces in history were not heavy, nor was anyone deliberately waiting for him.

Secondly, the past wars always ended quickly, and it only took a few hours from the start to the finish. In the eyes of the Compound-Eyed Observer, although humans were a threat with great potential, they were still ants that could be quickly eliminated, not worth mentioning, and even lacked research value.

But this time was different.

The war between the two sides had lasted for a century, and the Compound-Eyed Observer showed a high degree of interest in humans, not only absorbing human Stargate technology but even actively lowering its stance to absorb Earthlings’ wisdom of war.

In the ancient history recorded by the Rock Life, the war between the Compound Eye Civilization and the Egyptian tribe lasted for thousands of years, yet the Compound Eye Civilization only absorbed the physical structure technology of the Egyptian tribe, with no interest in their “thoughts.”

In the long history of the war between the Egyptian tribe and Compound Eye, the Compound Eye Fleet never changed its strategic policy, which was a simple push without any thought, wherever there were people, there was a fight, step-by-step, pursuit until complete annihilation of the enemy.

The fact that the Compound Eye lowered its stance, or the lengthening of the war, were both manifestations of Earth’s civilization progress.

When the Compound Eye Civilization attempted to learn from humans and gradually adjusted its complex and changeable strategic policies, it already showed that humans’ status in the enemy’s mind had surpassed that of the Egyptian tribe, and human civilization’s level in the universe had completely surpassed the former Milky Way overlord, the Egyptian tribe.

Harrison had worked through nine timelines to achieve this result.

However, the extension of the war was inevitably leading to leaks of information.

Particularly within the Shadow Galaxy, the Salvation Association and Morrowind Imperial Government extensively used movies and games like “Compound Eye Crisis,” biographical or fantasy literary works represented by “Lover,” and Carrie Thomas’s musical art works—Harrison left too many traces, which were almost ubiquitous.

Harrison’s image was so vivid that even the entire empire’s name was based on a homophone of his own name.

Harrison didn’t find it surprising.

Before he came, when considering expanding the Salvation Association and strictly implementing the “Five Hundred Year Plan,” he had vaguely foreseen today.

However, what he didn’t expect at that time was the final presentation of the civilization structure, with the ultimate form centered on the Shadow Galaxy and the huge Morrowind Empire as bait, and the idea originated from himself.

Harrison could sketch out a rough picture of history and predict the course of civilization in his mind, but the only thing he couldn’t understand was his own changes.Now he understood.

After traveling through time, his 21st-century self has completely indulged in the sense of achievement of controlling everything behind the scenes, and has personally taken on too many tasks.

Changing the future and continuously extracting the potential of civilization is essentially playing with fire, and it goes against the laws of the universe.

Assume that a mathematically consistent curve is made for the upward trend of Earthlings’ development level as carbon-based life.

If the history of civilization is extended indefinitely, the overall trend of civilization development should follow the trend line of the curve regression equation.

The typical equation is y=x/(1+x).

As the value of x increases continuously, the value of y grows from zero, approaches 1 but never reaches it.

This ‘1’ in mathematics represents the upper limit of carbon-based civilization that complies with the logic of the universe.

However, if the progress of civilization is divided into short-term stages measured in terms of one hundred years, the trend line would occasionally have a sudden upward spike, and then gradually return to smoothness.

In the short term, the line would look like a staircase, stepping up one level at a time.

The typical examples are the first, second, and third industrial revolutions.

In these three major changes, human civilization first accumulates knowledge and breakthroughs in technology, followed by a concentrated explosion of technological achievements. Subsequently, the overall productivity of civilization often grows explosively by more than 10% annually for a significant period and continues for a certain number of years.

As industrialization advances and various industries gradually transform technological achievements, the development dividends brought about by technological explosions are eventually digested, and the growth rate of productivity naturally slows down to 8%, 5%, 2%, or almost stagnates. This continues until the next production revolution brings about new explosive growth.

According to the normal rules of historical development, after entering the 21st century, humanity will usher in the fourth industrial revolution, mainly focusing on breakthroughs in graphene, gene technology, virtual reality, quantum information, controllable nuclear fusion, clean energy, and biotechnology.

Assuming Harrison Clark did not appear, the historical trajectory would basically not deviate from this framework.

After Harrison Clark began to interfere with the technological process, the early direction of the 21st century also remained within this framework.

In the normal course of events, Earthlings would digest the dividends of the fourth industrial revolution by the mid-22nd century, gradually develop the resources of the solar system, and in the following centuries, make their way out of the solar system with great difficulty.

In the centuries following the fourth industrial revolution, the growth rate of productivity will inevitably slow down until it comes to a complete standstill and gains the ability to traverse star systems.

Escaping the solar system signifies human civilization’s successful entry into the next phase, followed by another explosion in growth rate, then a gradual return to smoothness, and so on in a cycle until one day the civilization curve approaches but never reaches the value of 1; ultimately, it stagnates.

However, in the ninth timeline, the fourth, fifth… up to the tenth industrial revolution continues from the 21st to the 31st century.

Humanity remains in a state of constant revolution, never stopping, with each distinct phase connected to the next.

Before the fifth revolution is complete, the sixth begins to erupt, while the seventh has started to sprout. One after another, they go in a sequence, rendering the term “industrial revolution” obsolete.

The upward curve of human civilization’s productivity looks as if it has been tied up with a rope from above, forcibly dragged upwards continuously.

The equation of the development curve changed from y=x/(1+x) to y=2x, shooting straight up. As long as x representing time can be infinitely large, human civilization’s development level will eventually soar to the heavens and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Comparing the first and ninth timeline, it is undoubtedly the credit of Harrison Clark and the Salvation Association.

The objective laws of the universe are ruthlessly trampled underfoot by Earthlings, and the course of the curve is full of disharmony.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The landing point of the disharmony lies in the things Harrison Clark has done and the traces he has left behind.

The deeper Harrison Clark’s interference, the more obvious the traces.

Even if he deliberately lowers his presence in certain aspects, it is useless.

The more he hides from the outside, the more deeply rooted his influence inside the Salvation Association. In fact, he has become a thought imprint that no one in this massive organization can circumvent or evade.

Harrison Clark cannot say that his past self had good intentions but did bad things since progress is evident.

But the more imprints he leaves behind, the deeper and wider his influence on the history of civilization becomes. All of these are “information elements” that are constantly spreading in the world.

Neither Imperial Government nor the Salvation Association made any efforts to hide it; on the contrary, they kept amplifying his impact.

Human scholars can establish Sage Philosophy derived from Psychohistory, while the Compound Eye Civilization which has ruled the Virgo supercluster for countless years also possesses superior Quantum Intelligence, so it is impossible not to have the ability to analyze massive amounts of information.

As long as the Compound Eye Civilization demonstrates the same level of logical analysis ability and simply steals a bit from Freud’s psychoanalysis, it becomes all too easy to find traces of Harrison Clark among the crowd.

Exposure is the inevitable course of history.

At least it is this time.
