I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 728: Chapter 445: On Cosmic Civilization【3700 Words】_1

People always strive for understanding without confusion in their lives.

The poor think that having money will eliminate confusion.

The rich think that a happy family and good health will get rid of confusion.

The humble believe that gaining power will dispel confusion.

Those in the middle presume that promotion and wealth will put an end to confusion.

However, in reality, this is impossible.

The biggest distinction between humans and animals is that humans can always find new desires and give rise to confusion after reaching a certain stage, never being satisfied.

When on land, humans yearn for the sea and the sky, despite the dangers of sharks, storms, cold currents, and lightning.

While in near-earth orbit space stations, humans long for the universe, which is even more dangerous.

Although humans are well aware of the new dangers lurking in uncharted territories, they also clearly understand that venturing beyond the comfort zone means approaching death. However, regardless of whether there are threats from enemies, humans have never stopped their pursuit to explore the unknown.

Both cowardice and fearlessness, two opposing traits, are deeply rooted in the souls of Earthlings in a very intricate manner.

Humans are never satisfied.

Harrison Clark is no exception.

Since his time-travel, he has lived for an extra hundred years.

So has humanity.

Yet, Harrison Clark has not felt the slightest satisfaction, even forgetting to celebrate his achievement.

He has been doing one thing day after day for a hundred years – learning.

It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate a person.

Harrison Clark has encountered many geniuses, from Rainer and Martha Owen to the historical figures Sergey, Willian, and Frankie, and now Freddy who is by his side.

Each of them has made him feel ashamed for a long time.

Every time he learned from historical materials and attempted to engage in intellectual activities, he was quickly humbled.

As a result, Harrison Clark was forced to become humble and gained a sober understanding of his intelligence and talent.

Having a quick mind does not necessarily mean being able to grasp and integrate knowledge fast.

Remembering something does not mean that you truly understand it, or that you can teach it to others.

So Harrison Clark chose to spend a hundred years cultivating himself.

If there is no innate talent, then it’s best to be a slow bird that flies first.

Since he cannot learn as quickly as those geniuses, he will compensate with time.

He spent a hundred years transforming himself into a knowledgeable person, rather than just an idle sage in name only.

At his core, Harrison Clark is someone who dislikes studying. His lack of concentration in his studies has been criticized many times by his previous teachers, Martha Owen and Star Teacher, but this does not prevent him from being tenacious in his will.

Back in the day, with no talent, he shut himself in a room and painstakingly studied music theory for nearly a year, managing to master the full compositions of “A Dull Life” and “Boring” by rote memorization. His desk and floor were worn smooth from the constant scribbling and pacing. Now, he can continue reading and striving for the rise of humanity.

Even if he truly doesn’t like it and regards it as a great pain subconsciously, he can always persevere.

Moreover, at present, Harrison Clark has not actually left the territory of the Morrowind Empire. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He had initially planned to roam far away.

But when he used the Stargate to reach the border of the Morrowind Empire, he changed his mind.

At present, human understanding of the planetary systems within the Empire’s territory is quite in-depth, and the space to be further explored beyond 5,000 light-years has already extended to over 3,000 light-years away.

However, there are no Stargates outside, and long-distance travel depends on spaceships “running” with their “legs.”

The first batch of 10 times the speed of light fast exploration ships had already set off 300 years ago, and the researchers on board had already evolved into the second generation of researchers grown from frozen embryos.

The first batch of 20 times the speed of light ultra-fast exploration spacecraft set off nearly fifty years ago and has reached a position 1,000 light-years away.

Countless professional exploration ships have already been sending back lots of information, so even if Harrison Clark ventured out, he would only be retracing the steps of his predecessors.

If given the opportunity, of course, Harrison Clark would like to traverse tens of thousands of light-years to find the Egyptian tribe’s parent star.

However, it is clear that with the current 21-fold light-speed performance of Morrowind No.2, even if he had incredibly good luck and managed to remain beyond the sight of the Compound-Eyed Observer, it would be impossible for him to live for a few thousand more years.

At most, he could only cover less than one-tenth of the distance, and he would have to keep moving without stopping, just quickly glancing at the passing scenery.

As for whether or not he could find a way to counter the Compound-Eyed Observer, that would be left entirely to chance.

So Harrison Clark decided not to leave and instead remained within the territory of the Morrowind Empire, using the Stargate’s quantum warp ability to quickly reach his destination.

Anyway, the additional ability to travel through the layers of space brought by Freddy has greatly increased his safety factor, making him almost impossible to be discovered.

Unless he is extremely unlucky and encounters another ship while exiting subspace, which is highly unlikely.

Harrison Clark is not aimlessly wandering about like a headless fly.

Freddy noticed that when Harrison Clark was studying alien technology, if there was a significant difference between the subject and the common sense of the Solar System, he would always lag behind in comprehension, as if separated by a layer of gauze. No matter how carefully Freddy explained, it still fell short.

When asked if he understood, Harrison Clark thought he did.

But if he were to invent or create something based on that technology, his mind would become muddled.

When asked to organize his thoughts and write a book to explain the scientific principles to others, he would sit there blankly, staring off into space.

Freddy analyzed that the reason for this might be that Harrison Clark, being a native of the Solar System, had stayed there for too long, causing his logical thinking ability to be limited. Coupled with his relatively “low” IQ, he became trapped in the gap of interstellar cognitive bias.
