I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World - Chapter 481
Chapter 481: Chapter 316: Go Far Away, Don’t Look Back_2
To achieve this situation, many complex preconditions are needed, and none can be lacking.
In the normal development of civilization, the probability of satisfying all the preconditions is almost zero.
This time, Harrison Clark’s continuous 150-year craze turned all these impossible preconditions into reality.
In the past timeline, the guiding principle of Harrison Clark’s operation era was to focus on support, weaken other countries implicitly, change the era’s pattern as much as possible, and end a certain country’s leading position in the world.
Of course, this is necessary.
If we let a certain country use pure hegemony, rely on lies and biased views to consolidate advantages, continue to let the country become unreasonably powerful, and let some selfish capitalists lead the world, the situation of humanity would actually be very dangerous.
Civilization will eventually be destroyed in the hands of capitalists who are good at making money but lack moral bottom lines, think they are very smart, but have extremely small patterns and are ignorant.
Although there are people like Charles Butler among the capitalists, they are, after all, a minority.
In Harrison Clark’s view, many capitalists actually have some psychological defects.
The pleasure of exploiting others’ labor force to grab excessive profits is like the dopamine rush that gamblers experience when winning big in the casino.
Bad gambling can be addictive, and capital exploitation is even more addictive.
The expectation of lying on capital and seeing a rain of money, then using that money to enjoy a luxurious life that ordinary people can’t imagine, brings a very intense pleasure.
This pleasure, with the accumulation of time, gradually changes and distorts a person’s character, inflates their money-seeking instinct, constantly breaks through their moral bottom line, overwhelms all moral views, and ultimately turns them into a villain full of lies, unprincipled, and solely profit-seeking.
According to Rainer, this is a psychological and physiological double biological effect, difficult to resist based on human physiological structure and genetic nature.
This time, Harrison Clark consciously held an absolute advantage and no longer deliberately focused on fairness, but unexpectedly turned unintentional actions into successful outcomes.
Because besides himself, many factors were at play inside.
Danger had also appeared before.
In the 2060s of the 21st century, the international atmosphere suddenly became very delicate.
At a critical moment when the situation was teetering on the brink of war, the Boston scholars, led by Linton Research Institute, made a desperate plea.
Together with the influence of Summit Tech, capital, and the art world in China, Harrison Clark also stepped forward and gave the verdict.
Both major countries put down their weapons in time.
A possible third world war that could destroy everything disappeared invisibly.
A certain country’s priority became a joint-effort in moving forward.
But the strong will always become stronger.
In China, not only did Summit exist.
After obtaining some of Summit Research Institute’s R&D capabilities sold by Harrison Clark, Chris Owen-led Whale Group naturally took off.
Mr. Owen was indeed more suited to building a commercial empire than Harrison Clark.
Before Chris Owen’s death, the total value of Whale Group even surpassed the once colossal Summit Ventures.
After Chris Owen’s death, his successor, Terry Owen, although not as good as his grandfather in business operation, was not far behind, and also gave Terry another nickname, “Terry Owen’s father”.
In the year 2230, the completion rate of the Mercury Dyson Cloud reached 10%, and its total power generation capacity exceeded the sum of all other energy generation.
In 2241, Summit Aerospace accomplished two things: leading the establishment of the Mars Base and launching the new Summit 001.
Summit 001 performed the same tasks as before, with exploration and research to explore the possibilities of humans stepping out of the Solar System.
Advancing by 16 years.
Bigger and more advanced, the established ecosystem was more complete, and the direction of propulsion was slightly different from previous times.
It was theoretically less likely to be unlucky to be swept by gamma rays again, but the outcome was not much different, and even worse.
In 2261, without any warning, the ostensibly fail-proof energy sector inexplicably collapsed.
Energy supplies ceased, material circulation systems stopped operating, and six years later, the massive Summit 001 turned into floating space junk, silent and lifeless.
Last time, at least gamma rays could be blamed, but this time, even the cause could not be found.
Although Summit 001 inexplicably failed, the Mars Base proceeded smoothly, with a population of one million by 2261.
As time flies, more than a hundred years pass.
By the year 2377, humans have established research bases or settlements on Venus, Ganymede, Callisto, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto.
Humans have never stopped exploring the depths of the Solar System and beyond.
Although reaching Proxima Centauri is still infinitely far away, a scientific research team has successfully brought back Elite Army 009 and the remains of Master Harrison Clark, and held a century funeral for him ten years later.
Two things happened in 2389.
First, the famous biologist, psychologist, and musician Idrisi Bach deciphered the mystery of “Morning Wind” and promoted it extensively among top talents, greatly increasing the emotional activity of outstanding talents.
Second, another lost technology in history that Harrison Clark had been waiting for was born.
Spanning several timelines, the gene liquid transformation technology, invented by Watson Gesslaf in 2918, unexpectedly appeared in history, 529 years earlier than before.
New posthumans were born.
At this time, humans were not under the influence of the “Song of the Wilderness” and faced a cruel choice between natural selection and evolution..
