Chapter 480: Chapter 316: Go Far Away, Don’t Look Back_l

Aside from individuals like Harrison Clark, Rainer, Carrie Thomas, Sergey, and others, living an extra ten or twenty years as separate individuals may just be a drop in the bucket compared to the vast development of human civilization.

However, if millions of talented people in various fields can steal an extra ten or twenty years from time, and each person can create more value, the difference can be quite terrifying.

Admittedly, the frantic increase in average life expectancy has rapidly intensified the aging of society in the short term.

Nevertheless, there are no intensified contradictions because the comprehensive improvement of the technological level effectively increases society’s productivity, and resources gradually become abundant.

Under the support of abundant material conditions and better medical care, the value of the elderly is fully showcased.

Harrison Clark’s “The Madman’s Conjectures Collection” eventually reached version 11.0.

These heavy books were gradually digested by scholars and broken down into more easily understood knowledge points, which were taught to their students.

There aren’t many who can truly comprehend Harrison Clark’s books, and they can be divided into two categories.

One category consists of young talents who are often at their peak and focus more on self-value exploration than on training students.

The other category consists of elderly scholars with extensive knowledge.

Some elderly people have retired from the front lines of research, while others still persevere.

In the past, people in their seventies and eighties experienced continuous declines in memory, thinking ability, mental state, and physical health, which limited their ability to do much other than enjoy their remaining days.

Nowadays, the situation has changed. While some elderly people may not be able to lead front-line research, their overall knowledge system is at its most comprehensive, making it the perfect time to train their successors.

The elderly predecessors passed on the sparks that Harrison Clark left behind, adding more fuel to the flames of civilization’s progress.

Since then, the impact of Harrison Clark’s legacy has rippled, with negative effects eliminated, leaving only the positive ones.

Starting from the mid-2ist century, both technology and culture reached new heights, ushering in hundreds of years of rapid development.

In 2122, one year after Harrison Clark’s death, Samantha, his 124-year-old wife, completed a significant project on her deathbed.

Samantha digested Harrison Clarke’s complete knowledge system left in Summit Studio and Summit Games, cultivating the first supercomputing core with a strong self-learning ability.

Humankind achieved a quantum leap in terms of computing power.

Not only did Samantha absorb all of Harrison Clarke’s software development ideas, but she also surpassed her husband in this area.

Owen gained another title – “Samantha’s husband.”

In 2143, Ethan Evans’ unfinished business was finally completed.

Summit Biological Research Institute successfully developed Summit Amino Acid (James Amino Acid).

This special amino acid, which cannot exist in the human body for a long time, has become a staple, silently awakening dormant genetic information while improving people’s concentration.

Since then, human genetic awakening has resumed growth after stagnating at 25% for thousands of years.

Post-humans are born.

Compared to the previous timeline, humanity’s deep research on genetic development has advanced by more than a century.

In 2165, ten years after Harrison Clark’s death, Summit Aerospace turned from a private enterprise into a national enterprise due to the lack of legal heirs.

Summit Aerospace did not fall apart after Harrison Clark’s death; instead, it broke free from the limitations of purely long-range development that he left behind.

Creativity was unleashed.

Top aviation and aerospace experts trained by Harrison Clark led the era in various fields such as physics, chemistry, materials, systems, and power development.

After fully absorbing Harrison Clark’s legacy, they decisively transformed into Solar System resource development.

In 1YT1, Summit Aerospace designed and participated in manufacturing the space development company, which was jointly established by several large groups, including Whale Group, Summit Industry, British Heavy Industry, and British Aviation.

One after another, China’s large-scale mining ships headed for Mercury.

In 2195, humanity began to dismantle Mercury and create the Mercury Dyson Cloud, bringing the new era with a bang.

There are two main characteristics of the new era.

First, the establishment of the Dyson Cloud and ultra-long-range Microwave Power Transmission system allows humanity’s total development and utilization of solar energy to soar rapidly.

Once the Dyson Cloud is formed, it will essentially replace various energy sources like hydro, thermal, wind, nuclear, geothermal, and atmospheric solar energy, becoming humanity’s primary energy supply method.

Second, the Chinese nation has achieved a complete and glorious revival.

Thanks to its absolute control over the Dyson Cloud, the Chinese nation, boasting a history of 5,000 years, has once again risen and taken control of 50% of civilization’s GDP.

Theoretically, this situation should not have occurred after the 20th century.

Although this scenario appeared in previous timelines, it never became as extreme as it is now or lasted for many years.

But in the late 22nd century, the miracle arrived.

From 1949 to 2195, the Chinese nation gradually caught up and progressed step by step, ultimately surpassing and distancing itself from others.

The path forward was littered with bloodshed, grief, honor, and indomitability…

Thorns lay everywhere.

Soldiers, workers, scholars, farmers, white collars…

Over 246 years, generations of Chinese men and women used their sweat and blood to lift the ancient nation of 5,000 years back to an unattainable height..
