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

Chapter 1034: Chapter 633: Historical Sense_1 Chapter 1034: Chapter 633: Historical Sense_1 Seven days after the meeting, Dylan Mitchell’s cryogenic work was personally supervised by Quentin Cooper.

Looking at his favored disciple, now a “frozen sculpture” in a cryogenic chamber, Quentin Cooper’s heart was filled with both melancholy and helplessness.

He remembered the conversation with Dylan Mitchell that took place the night before.

At first, Quentin Cooper wanted to scold his student, but in the end, he only patted him on the shoulder.

“Before you make such a significant decision next time, I hope you think things through or consult with others,” he said.

“Sir, you once told me that a real commander can only rely on himself on the battlefield. Every decision must be made quickly and accurately. Commanders must take responsibility for their decisions and be decisive. They cannot always rely on others to help share the responsibility during meetings. If every significant decision had to be made through meetings, we would still be voting in the conference room while the enemy’s artillery is enveloping Oxfordshire. When you devised the fleet’s scalpel treatment plan, it was your independent decision. As your student, I, of course, learn from your example.”

“Hiss… If you’re so capable and smart, then you should be fulfilling your duties instead of evading them with tricks! I’m already old…”

“Sir, you are indeed old. But history has taught me that wine only gets better with age. Maybe you still think I made this decision simply to protect your honor, or perhaps you truly believe I’m avoiding responsibility, but I believe with your wisdom, one day you’ll understand my intentions.”

…

In the autumn of 2909 and under Quentin Cooper’s leadership, the reconstruction of the fleet finally got back on track.

In June, the Empire’s shared curvature space actual energy refining technology further increased the fleet’s energy collection efficiency, and the newest ultra-high-efficiency and complex multicrystal structure material synthesizer further bolstered the fleet’s ability to synthesize specialized materials.

The value of these two technologies to the entire civilization was not particularly great. The Empire had already achieved this in the original three-dimensional space in 2815; the challenge was reconstructing them in curvature space without damaging the curvature bubble. Although the technical content and implementation difficulty were raised several levels, breakthroughs were made with the persistent efforts of countless researchers in thousands of research inst2018-08-29titutes across galaxies, and the fleet received the information synchronously.

At the technology announcement speech, the emotional Quentin Cooper said, “Although these two technologies are insignificant to the entire civilization, they are as valuable as cryogenic technology to us. We are over 15,000 light-years away from the border of the Empire, and we can never return. However, our homeland has not forgotten us and has never stopped supporting and helping us. You should know that in order to apply these two technologies in curvature space, nearly 100 years and 6.7 billion researchers with master’s degrees or higher, 230 million doctoral researchers, 7.6 million Empire-certified senior scholars, and more than 200,000 treasure-level masters dedicated their lives to related projects. Meanwhile, over 30 billion workers strived in various industries to meet experimental conditions. In the past 100 years, just in laboratory accidents alone, more than 30 million people have perished. They worked on projects that didn’t benefit the Empire directly. Who do you think they made these sacrifices for?”

Many who were listening to Quentin Cooper’s speech bowed their heads in shame.

Quentin Cooper’s clever use of the facts once again deeply impressed the second and third generations of the fleet.

Afterward, with the help of new technology, one by one, the new spacecraft quietly detached from the towing ships in the curvature bubble and began to operate independently.

To quickly restore the population and increase the total amount of human resources, the large-scale reproduction plan began.

In just a few months, as many as one billion embryos entered the bionic palace simultaneously.

However, due to losing his most trusted supporter, Dylan Mitchell, Quentin Cooper’s workload increased significantly.

Within these few months, he had aged considerably.

One day, after a busy day, Quentin Cooper returned to his room alone, lay on the bed for a long time before washing up.

He stared at the mirror at his silver hair and the age spots on his face, lost in thought.

He turned to look at the large photo hanging in the center of his living room, his gaze blurred and his vision started to fade.

In the photo, he was standing side by side with several old men and women, some in military uniform and some in civilian clothes.

Each person’s face had a warm, genuine smile, showing their inner joy and excitement.

Behind them was the towering Voyager Star.

At their feet was the highest podium of the Voyager Galaxy’s Administrative Command Space Station.

At that time, he had just won the war against the Fish Star People as the acting commander of the human race in the Voyager Galaxy.

He was only 46 years old then, in the prime of his life.

He wore no stars on his shoulders, yet his sharp edges were fully exposed.

Quentin Cooper vaguely remembered his thoughts at the time.

“I’ve finally proven my abilities. I will ascend to the highest stage of human civilization. I will continue to prove myself and devote my life to the great struggle of human civilization without regret.”
