First, it changed Carrie Thomas’s fate, forcing her to further exploit her potential and create “The Fire,” a song that transcended time and became a spiritual pillar for a generation, helping humanity achieve a technological leap.
Second, it changed Ward Owen’s fate, enabling the Whale Group to create more groundbreaking technological achievements and become the cornerstone of technological advancement.
Third, more advanced material science and foundational science, as well as the detection device completed by the special researcher Martha Owen in her spare time, proved that the source of the explosion was not an external attack but came from within the battleship.
Fourth, by personally joining the front lines of the war and honing his formidable skills in operating the Azure Dragon Armor, Harrison Clark elevated the overall standards of individual soldier armor operation for all of humanity. Although it seemed of little use in the end, without the day-to-day training and relentless self-sacrifice, Harrison could not have maximized the kinetic capabilities of the Azure Dragon Armor in the final moments, nor could he have returned to The Giant Wave at the last moment and witnessed the explosion of the chess piece from the perspective of a bystander.
Fifth, and most importantly.
Although it is still unclear how the enemy hid the bomb in the chess piece and what the principle of the bomb was, it was only so big that it could not emit any energy waves, yet it could destroy the entire battleship in an instant like a withered tree.
This technology must be beyond his understanding and completely unmastered by humans.
However, this seems to imply that the enemy is not invulnerable, nor as invincible and terrifying as he imagines!
Otherwise, the enemy would not need to use conspiracies!
Conspiracies rather reveal weakness.
The enemy has flaws and is not absolutely invincible.
Many things are illusions, covered in layers of fog.
With a light curtain powerful enough to envelop the Solar System, their technological level should be so high that Earthlings cannot comprehend it.
According to the Kardashev Scale, they should be at least somewhere between a Type II – Planetary Civilization and Type III – Stellar Civilization.
Indeed, they are invincible and unreachable, deserving to obliterate humanity with a more direct and destructive snap of their fingers like Thanos.
But in reality, they adopted extremely conservative infiltration and internal sabotage tactics.
These two scenarios are conflicting and discordant, making them seem very unreasonable.
There must be a loophole that humans cannot yet discern, waiting for Harrison to explore.
This is thenanswer he found in his journey through a thousand years, and also the lesson that only those who personally experience the frontline battlefield can learn.
The same event looks completely different from different perspectives.
When watching TV as an ordinary viewer, the sight of the sky full of fireworks gives the illusion of being snapped away by Thanos.
But as a frontline fighter, seeing the explosion of the chess piece with his own eyes and understanding its details and process, he realizes that the alien civilization has actually made thorough preparations for this apocalyptic snap.
This is the most important answer he has come up with so far.
Although this answer seems to be meaningless for human civilization as a whole, as humanity has already perished, it is of great significance to him personally and greatly boosts his confidence.
The above five points are Harrison’s comprehensive analysis of his journey through a thousand years.
This is his first step in deducing the solution he works out before he wakes up.
The second step focuses on Nora Camp’s tears and the chess piece in her hand.
He began to analyze what kind of conspiracy the alien civilization had used and how it was implemented.
Nora Camp is not a weak person and would not cry from fear of death.
There is only one explanation: at the last moment, she realized that the source of the explosion was her own chess piece, and her mental state underwent a dramatic change.
The long-dormant emotional part of her deep thoughts became active again.
She believed that she was the traitor who brought destruction, or at least one of them.
Her long-held beliefs collapsed in an instant, and she fell into intense regret and pain.
She realized that her mental state had been off for a long time.
Infiltrated and subtly brainwashed, she developed a meaningless hobby of playing chess and personally brought the bomb onto the battleship, leading to humanity’s defeat without ever seeing the enemy.
Nora Camp’s self-blame comes from her internal struggle and her inability to introspect and analyze her situation in the time she had left.
Harrison, both a bystander and a participant, had the opportunity to review and reflect on his actions after the fact.
He could see through the unsolvable Golden Finger of the time loop and catch a glimpse of the true enemy’s trajectory.
Since all the captains apart from Nora Camp had been forcibly and unreasonably imbued with personal interests that were nonetheless reasonable, it indicates that the infiltration had been long-term, comprehensive, and all-encompassing.
Nora Camp is not the only victim of infiltration.
Harrison has not only seen the records of contemporary captains but has also read many accounts of previous captains in his capacity as a military champion, with the mindset of reading a story.
He can trace the earliest instances back to the first group of captains five hundred years ago, around the year 2500, when the World Government was newly established.
Harrison found that, from that time on, captains began to develop strange hobbies.
The infiltration did not forcefully twist their personalities; nor did it fundamentally shake or replace their thoughts..
