Harrison Clark was slightly surprised, “But her gene awakening rate is not up to 35%, does she have cosmic wisdom, too?”
“She always has, in every past timeline. Why else would she be the only one without absolute reproductive isolation from you?”
Harrison Clark fell silent.
As the two were talking, the battle situation in the simulated projection suddenly changed again.
Behind the enemy fleet formation surrounding Nora Camp’s fleet, a series of intense explosions suddenly erupted.
It was a type of Trickster Mine that was yet to be successfully developed but theoretically feasible, using the refined unified force refraction stealth layer technology that Leigh had deployed on the Triangular Pyramid Warships. Though these Trickster Mines weren’t rare and had strong stealth capabilities, their flight speed was extremely slow. Under repeated scans by high-precision gravity wave detectors, they would still be discovered and could hardly approach battleships.
But Nora Camp played a trick.
She deployed three thousand Trickster Mines in three separate lines behind the enemy forces, with thicker additional armor closer to the battlefield zone.
Next, she detonated them one by one starting with the farthest, each with a time difference of 0.001 seconds.
Each exploding Trickster Mine provided an explosive propulsion force for the ones in front, accelerating the once extremely slow front mines to a terrifying speed in just one second.
Almost simultaneously, nearly sixty Trickster Mines struck the enemy fleet’s three flagships, breaking through their Triple Force Shields and successfully decapitating them.
“The 741st Commander-level battle simulation ends, Nora Camp wins, Mr. Green, Lawrence, and Felipe lose,” announced Star’s voice in the sound system. Harrison Clark was taken aback.
No wonder she had such a difficult time against the three of them and had to rely on ingenious tactics to win. It turned out that the three people she was facing weren’t ordinary vertical formation commanders but the other three major military leaders of the United Government Fleet.
The level of the opponents was different, and the other three leaders were capable of one-on-five fights.
At Nora Camp’s current level, she could round up to taking on ten opponents, she had clearly become stronger!
Nora Camp’s legs had gone slightly weak, but before Harrison Clark could step forward to help, she had steadied herself.
The exhaustion from the simulated battle was much less than that from real combat, and she could recover with just a few breaths.
However, Harrison Clark still quickly caught up and grabbed her waist from behind.
“Oh, you’re back? That was quick, how’d it go?” she asked with a tilt of her head. Harrison Clark nodded, “It’s done.”
“Good. Want to eat cake together?”
Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “No, it’s all for you, you eat.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t handle the dessert with triple the sweetness it normally had – it made his teeth ache.
Nora Camp’s constitution was clearly unusual, and he couldn’t emulate it.
Nora Camp ate spoon by spoon, recovering her spirits quickly.
She waved her finger, and a digital chessboard appeared on the small table, “Want to play a game?”
Harrison Clark felt like rolling his eyes on the spot.
Are you really a monster? Aren’t you tired at all?
Just then, Martha Owen sent a message to Nora Camp.
She didn’t hide it and directly played the voice message out loud.
“Nora, please persuade Harrison. I don’t know what he’s thinking. I just talked to the president of the History Institute, Emmanuel Berto. He’s been doing a good job. In another two or three weeks, he’ll complete his updated biographies and be ready to release them to inspire society. He can’t let people do that, and he wants people to analyze the 21st-century technology history for him I don’t know what it means. I personally don’t care, but Emmanuel is very upset, almost crying. At least let him wait another two weeks and let him finish his work first, huh?”Harrison Clark was taken aback.
He hadn’t thought the situation through and didn’t expect Emmanuel Berto to be so heartbroken.
Mainly, he wasn’t used to that feeling of being admired by someone so intensely. It was quite twisted.
Usually, his commands would be followed unconditionally by others.
But for Emmanuel, on one hand, he felt an immense admiration for his leader, and on the other hand, absolute obedience.
The intertwining of these two mental states made the old man very uncomfortable.
Perhaps the man wouldn’t openly defy orders, but he had a hard time controlling his emotions.
Nora Camp glanced at Harrison Clark before responding, “Alright, I’ll talk to him.”
Then, after thinking for a moment, she said to Harrison, “Let him finish the work. Don’t underestimate your biography. The work can’t be done by Star. Good writing can bring spiritual power. Emmanuel Berto is not just a historian but also a remarkable philosopher and author. If he writes your biography it can convey your fighting spirit and even inspire others. The spiritual power conveyed in writing can exceed the heights of the character itself. This is something that Star can’t do, and it may help us in our battles.”
Harrison Clark was caught in a dilemma.
“Why not let Star help you in sorting out the technological history of the 21st century? It’s all about the grind, and artificial intelligence can handle it more efficiently, right?”
Harrison shook his head, “I’ve already asked Star to do it, and she gave me a report. But… the complexity of human hearts surpasses her abilities. She can find key points in scientific history but cannot predict the potential impact of these points on the timeline from a comprehensive perspective, which includes sociology, psychology, and economics.”
“Sometimes, bringing certain things forward is not necessarily helpful for technological progress. I was blindly trying before, but now that I have access to resources, I want to do it better. In addition to the logical conclusions provided by Star, I also want to see more emotional reasoning. So this time, I plan to consider both sides and weigh them together.”
Nora Camp nodded, “That makes sense…”
“Wait, what?”
She suddenly gasped, staring blankly at Harrison Clark, “What did you say just now?”
Harrison knew she guessed something, and he wasn’t surprised. He smiled, “I said I would bring these points in technological history back with me.”
“What?”
“I will use these things to make an impact and change the 21st century.”
Nora’s eyes grew wider, “What?”
Harrison shrugged, “Well, I told you before that I was a time traveler, but none of you believed me. All of you thought I had really lived for a thousand years What could I do?”
Nora’s lips began to tremble, “It’s just… it’s too unbelievable. It doesn’t fit our scientific view…”
Today, Harrison did want to tell her the truth, and he had tried that before.
But this time, after giving her time to digest and be shocked, her mind might crash a bit, but she would definitely recover.
“No need to be surprised. To this day, I still don’t fully understand how it’s possible. No scholar may ever be able to figure it out. But it’s not important. It’s a fact, so just accept it.”
It took a while for Nora to calm down.
Full of emotion, she said, “You never lied. It was all of us who were too confident, subconsciously ignoring your truth and convinced ourselves of the most believable possibility. And you saw that we were determined not to believe you, so you didn’t bother to explain.”
“Yes,” Harrison nodded, “This phenomenon is called the Mandela Effect in the 21st century. What I say is too far-fetched compared to your common sense, so your subconscious leads you to the most rational fallacy.”
Actually, Nora respected him too much.
Harrison didn’t explain before only because he thought Nora was jealous and cried, but realized she was actually sympathizing with his solitude.
At that moment, he was just reluctant to give up the advantage of solving the crisis on his own.
But now, since the issue of technological history in the 21st century had resurfaced, he didn’t want to lie anymore.
Harrison stood up and stretched, “Let’s go to the audiovisual room and watch a movie together.”
He didn’t plan to show Nora his memories, partly because there was too much content and partly because there were a lot of scenes with him and Carrie Thomas together.
Although the Commander nowadays wasn’t an easily jealous woman, Harrison didn’t want to invite trouble.
He decided to watch “Compound Eye Invaders..”
