I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 877 - 529: Using History to Convince History_2

Chapter 877 -529: Using History to Convince History_2

This was not what Harrison Clark wanted.

If everything had to be guided by him step by step, rapid technological advancement could be seen in the short term, but by the 25th century, when civilization’s technology caught up with the 31st century, the inertial aftereffects would be revealed.

At that time, with the Dome just in place and enemy ships unseen, offspring might be prepared for the threat of the Compound-Eyed Observer, but if their will was not strong enough due to inertia, it would be difficult to unleash 100% creativity.

Therefore, to achieve the “Millennium Plan,” he couldn’t bear all the burdens alone; he needed to harness the initiative of others.

He had to change his approach, only giving guidance in the overall direction, and then offering some tips on specific details.

At the same time, he would encourage those true innovators who could break out of the frameworks he set.

...

Today, he was going to divide the scientific community in half.

One part would be his “obedient servants,” focusing on transforming the existing achievements he brought out.

The other part would be the “rebels,” focusing on defying his will, tackling things beyond the original content of the “Millennium Plan,” and creating more surprises for him and humanity.

By the time the meeting adjourned in the afternoon, Harrison had laid out a 100-year timeline in meticulous detail, specifying which projects should be launched on which dates, which were expected to be completed, and when they should move from theory to practice.

Which schools should start which new majors at what time, and how these new majors could help advance the progress of civilization’s technology. And at what time certain outdated majors should be discontinued to conserve resources for humanity.

How governments should allocate funding for technological development to provide targeted support, and so on.

There were countless such examples.

“Today, I am very grateful for everyone’s participation. This is all I have to say. I hope you will carefully ponder the directions I have set out when you return. Going forward, I will continue to share all my theoretical achievements without any conditions. At the same time, I will maintain an open attitude towards patent sharing for applied technology. The meeting is adjourned.”

With that said, Harrison left without hesitation.

As soon as he left, the venue exploded.

Academics who had been holding back all day finally vented their frustration.

He was indeed trying to confine the entire civilization’s technological development with his own strength.

He was really trying to become the controller of civilization.

Although the influence of “The Madman’s Conjectures Collection” and many other achievements was significant, he was still too arrogant.

You are only 25 years old, by what right?

Your critical thinking madness not only came earlier than others but was also deeper!

People started commenting back and forth with some hot-tempered, low-emotional wisdom intellectuals even shouting out the idea of boycotting Harrison Clark.

In the evening, Ethan Evans presented the negative feedback from the venue after Harrison left to him.

“Boss, this won’t work. At least 70% of people have major objections,” Ethan’s voice was slightly irritated on the phone call.

Harrison chuckled, “It’s fine, just announce there’s a temporary meeting tonight, and whoever wants to attend it can stay. I’ll explain things to them.”

“Oh? You’re going to publish the black hole paper?”

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Harrison shrugged.

Everything was within his expectations.

Both Plato and Lenin once said, “truth is often held in the hands of a few.”

The implication of this statement was not that the general public was necessarily ignorant, but that people who could jump out of their times and understand the future made up only a small part of civilization.

While the masses are the foundation of civilization, the “few” are the driving force of civilization’s progress with the principle of “enriching some before enriching the rest.”

Harrison Clark was now relying on his own unique “truth” by reviewing the past from the future.He laid out the “only truth” that should have been revealed gradually in such a rough manner, inevitably causing a public backlash.

However, time would prove him right.

The time would not be too long, at most only forty years.

In forty years, when he personally built the first controllable nuclear fusion power plant, established the ultra-large solar microwave power transmission station in far-Earth orbit, and personally created the first super quantum intelligence photonic brain for mankind, all doubts about him would vanish.

Actions speak louder than words.

The seeds he sowed today would take root and thrive in people’s hearts forty years later.

The shallow skepticism of some people today would turn into a strong sense of shame, and they and their disciples and descendants would listen to him more and more obediently.

As for the staunch “rebels” who firmly opposed him, even better.

The more they dislike him, the stronger their motivation will be to create achievements outside his sphere of influence that would astonish even him.

The essence of controlling civilization lies in controlling people’s hearts.

Now Harrison Clark is an expert in this field.

…

The attendance rate of the additional meeting that night reached an unexpectedly high of 80%.

Only 20% left indignantly, stating that they would draw a clear line between themselves and him in the future.

At the additional meeting, Harrison Clark directly presented the “Conjecture on the Connection between Witton Black Hole, Voyager 2 Signal Anomaly, and Higher-order Civilization.”

Just like at the previous Salvation Association meeting, he first explained the paper.

Then, he said: “Ladies and gentlemen, the Solar System Civilization has only 500 years left, and humanity has only 1,000 years left. All I have said and done today is because I have clearly seen the end.”

Everyone was shocked.

The huge auditorium was silent.

Someone wanted to jump up to object, but subtly found that they couldn’t find any obvious errors in Harrison Clark’s paper.

Some weak-willed pessimists cried out, “Are we not doomed? According to you, the enemy has the ability to cruise at 500 times the speed of light, and the enemy’s Star Destroyer Cannon can easily destroy a planet. We have nowhere to hide in the Milky Way. It took us thousands of years to go from a primitive society to today, and it is impossible to develop the capability to defeat an enemy of at least a Tier 3 Civilization in just a thousand years.”

Harrison Clark smiled and nodded, “Yes, from the perspective of the 21st century, it is theoretically impossible. But people’s perspectives change. The higher you stand, the farther you see. You also neglected one point, the curve of human technological explosion is not a linear equation. If we turn our technological progress curve into y equals x squared, even cubed… Nth power. In a thousand years, we can achieve a lot.”

“Now, I will show you a documentary. It records my personal worst-case estimate of the evolution of civilization in the next two thousand years. Its contents include culture, science, politics, military, species evolution, cosmology knowledge, and many other aspects. After watching, you will naturally know whether it is possible or not.”

“The documentary is called ‘The Ninth Millennium,’ with a running time of 24 hours. It will take three days to watch it all. I have one condition: once you decide to watch it, you must sign a confidentiality agreement and not have contact with the outside world during these three days. I will give you fifteen minutes to think about it and explain your decision to the outside world.”

After saying that, Harrison Clark disappeared again.

This CG animation called ‘The Ninth Millennium’ is a 24-hour long animation that Harrison Clark personally made based on the historical process of the ninth timeline.

In the animation, it includes every important event in the two thousand years from the 21st century to the 41st century in the ninth timeline, such as technological revolutions, artistic renaissances, political transformations, and so on.

Harrison Clark estimated that more than 60% of the people would stay, about 800 people.

Those 800 people would see the complete evolution of civilization in the ninth timeline.

They would even see how their “own selves” completed the scheduled achievements during the scheduled time, and how human creativity shattered technological bottlenecks when it reached its pseudo-ultimate level.

After watching the animation, they would understand how humanity chased a Tier 3 Civilization in one thousand years, and they would know how to turn the impossible into the possible.

Harrison Clark wasn’t afraid of being accused of fabricating history in his animation.

Very simply, because even the most visionary sociologists and historians can’t find any logical loopholes in the animation.

‘The Ninth Millennium’ is a history that has already taken place, and each of its events will present a perfect logical closure.

Harrison Clark intended to use history to persuade the “historical figures” around him.
