Chapter 545: Chapter 357: Breaking the Divine Image, A Summary of Civilization_3

This represents the new polar extremes of human technology, the utilization of antimatter and dark energy.

Moreover, due to the research level of the Unified Force has not yet met the standard, human quasi-curvature technology has not evolved into a full-fledged faster-than-light curvature technology.

Just like the momentary instant movement capability of the Spherical Battleship, which seems to be a space jump, is also missing.

Harrison Clark, based on his observations of the Compound-Eyed Civilization, can definitely confirm that antimatter, dark matter, unified force, and space jumping are the right way forward.

But now, with these four paths, human civilization is still a layman.

The so-called progress is still limited to the previously verified path, without true revolutionary innovation, merely going further along the path.

Perhaps the current state is enough to defeat the Spherical Battleship.

But if the Compound-Eyed Observers really have another fleet, they are still bound to be defeated.

Harrison Clark only makes the worst plans. He also wants to acquire further revolutionary weapons and cutting-edge scientific research achievements.

He believes that he must return freedom of thought to humanity, and only in this way can the next revolutionary progress be achieved.

Harrison Clark doesn’t know where the direction of this progress is.

But if he speculates from his cognition of the universe, low-level civilizations can achieve qualitative change in some technology, to reduce the gap in quantity by the gap in quality.

For example, if a low-level civilization masters a super-convenient and ultra-fast spaceship movement method, which is so fast that the Compound-Eyed Observers can’t catch up, it can even penetrate the Solar System Barrier, then the flame can be preserved.

Then, this low-level civilization has the qualification to freely survive in the universe.

Now Harrison Clark hasn’t seen this hope, so he is not satisfied with the current situation.

He is dissatisfied with himself, Mr. Green, Neville Brown, Bernal Connor, Martha Owen, and Gerard Schroeder, who are the helmsmen of the major systems.

But he’s not in a hurry. Since there is solid evidence that “Never Walk Alone” can mitigate the risk of civil war, then next time, he can indeed implement a relatively extreme nurturing strategy.

He no longer designates any target to attempt time-crossing infiltration, and no longer hopes he can send great leaders through the air.

First weaken his existence, and then leave the idea of survival of the fittest to future generations to choose.

Harrison Clark recalls a conversation he had with Carrie Thomas a long time ago about whether or not to save Yue Fei.

At that time, he was trapped in this question.

Carrie Thomas said:

“History can always self-correct, and humans can always find ways to solve problems.

Don’t think of yourself as too important and consider civilization too fragile.

You think too highly of yourself, and you underestimate the power and inertia of civilization.

If Yue Fei really caused an unfavorable turbulence, just do something else to mitigate the negative impact he left behind, won’t that be fine?”

At that time, Harrison Clark thought he understood this statement, but now it seems that he only half-understood it.

History has come a long way, Harrison Clark’s thinking has moved forward, turned a corner, passed nine bends and eighteen turns, and eventually, his understanding of civilization has returned to the origin that Carrie Thomas once said.

Give true freedom to civilization and future generations.

Don’t think you’re all that great, and return the right to choose to everyone.

Ignite the wildness of every individual and restore true freedom of thought.

Only in this way can the strength of individuals and groups be further exerted to the extreme. The civilization must bloom like wild grass breaking through the soil.

Do not deny the importance of great leaders, but everyone should follow not only the great leaders but also themselves. You are your own leader.

Only such a world is free, full of hope, and has unlimited possibilities.

That may lead to a complete loss, but also a beautiful win.

Because Harrison Clark has already come into tenuous contact with the rules of the universe.

The history of the universe is so long, and its territory is so vast, it inherently has endless possibilities.

Humans, as an emerging civilization, must face grim realities.

The reality is that there must be higher-order civilizations in the universe that were born earlier, stronger, and more hegemonic than humans.

Currently, the higher-order civilization humans see is the Compound-Eyed Observers.

Humans will not allow another intelligent life species with reproductive isolation to exist on Earth or within the Solar System.

After dominating the Earth, humans tried their best to constantly sweep and study the Earth and the Solar System to observe whether there is another intelligent civilization within the nearby range.

This is the instinct of civilization for self-protection.

If one day we find another intelligent civilization with mutual reproductive isolation in our own territory, will we talk with them about life philosophy, starting from poetry, songs, and literature?

Obviously, we only have the butcher’s knife.

Because although the universe seems infinite, in our own territory, our resources are always limited.

The Compound Eye Civilization is the same.

Once, the territory ruled by humans was the Earth.

Assuming that the Compound Eye Civilization is really that strong, its territory is the Milky Way or the Virgo Cluster.

Prior to human civilization crossing the 1st class civilization, possessing the ability to venture out of the Solar System, humans may appear as mere macaques cracking walnuts with stones in the eyes of the Compound Eye Civilization.

But if human civilization masters the technology to fully access the energy of a planet and creates large spaceships capable of sailing and establishing colonies in the next stellar system.

Then it is as if macaques have invented monkey language and inscribed the first sentence on a stone tablet: “Macaques will never be slaves, and the footsteps of macaques will tread across the Milky Way.”
