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

Chapter 921: Chapter 557: Dragging the Whole Civilization into Hell_1

Any object or phenomenon with a lifespan as long as, or even longer than, the universe itself would defy human understanding.

Indeed, unknown secrets lay within the HD140283 Star.

Glen’s bold actions could be considered humanity’s first exploration attempt of HD140283.

Located in the heartland of the Empire, Glen’s spaceship’s quantum network had never been connected to prevent the spread of the quantum virus into the human mainframe.

Thus, with his rapid demise, he was unable to bring back any news.

Humanity’s first exploration attempt ended in failure.

...

However, Harrison Clark wasn’t too disappointed.

He knew that Glen’s fate hadn’t ended just yet.

Just like when Harrison Clark first became a quantum intelligence, Glen also needed a period of adaptation.

…

Two years later.

Solar System.

Willian’s airborne laboratory.

Now approaching thirty years old, Willian had bulked up considerably compared to his emaciated appearance when he first entered the lab two years ago.

Concerned about his bad living habits, Willian’s mother forcefully took over the programming of his assistant AI.

As a professional scholar in the field of artificial intelligence task distribution, Willian’s mother created a strong and comprehensive life plan for him. Whether Willian liked it or not, he had to follow it, otherwise, he would be forcibly fed and bound for physical exercise by robots.

Over these two years, Willian worked on two things simultaneously: attempting to synthesize ZS bacteria using both biological and physical methods, and learning the principles of quantum networks from scratch, using unified force devices to reconstruct quantum viruses in the quantum world.

As he couldn’t contact the outside world, Willian only had the assistance of a small AI.

His database only contained past information, so he had no access to the latest research results from the outside world.

These two years could be described as completely isolated from the world.

However, this didn’t mean he was out of touch.

Since he stood at the forefront of technological advances, it was others who were behind the times.

Although Willian was unaware of the situation beyond the Solar System, his method of synthesizing a pseudo-quantum virus had some very subtle coincidences.

He first completed a “petri dish” involving physical rules.

It was a high-energy reaction cluster filled with hydrogen and helium elements.

The internal characteristics of the petri dish were about seventy to eighty percent similar to those of the Methuselah Star.

Next, Willian injected the properties of the quantum virus he had previously deduced into a continuous ultra-high energy, ultra-high frequency current, creating shockwave ripples to gradually infuse information into the Petri dish.

All aspects of the work that required human calculation and deduction were completed by him alone.

Of course, his efficiency couldn’t be very high.

After more than two years, only 10% of the ZS bacteria culture work had been completed, and the pseudo-quantum virus had just barely been started.

But this didn’t mean Willian had made no progress.

Based on his in-depth understanding of ZS bacteria, he drafted a prevention plan engraved on hundreds of single-element diamond plates, sent it through three-dimensional subspace and retrieved it by the waiting support personnel.

In that plan, Willian had supplemented Harrison Clark’s original ideas for developing human mental strength and iron will.

After all, Harrison Clark wasn’t a professional scientist. He preferred to deal with matters from a purely emotional standpoint

This was his strength, as well as his weakness.

Mere replication of Harrison Clark’s methods could produce one maverick genius after another for civilization, but it couldn’t take care of everyone.

But Willian was different.

In every timeline, he stood at the apex of the scientific pyramid, no matter the technology or atmosphere of the era.

He possessed unparalleled scientific knowledge and logical thinking abilities.

To forge the strongest metal resolve and mental strength, Willian’s plan detailed a comprehensive training scheme, designed for absolute resistance against the ZS bacteria, starting from scratch.

First, physical training would be restored, with everyone required to pass the rigorous and meticulous examination, covering everyone from three-year-old children to 200-year-old elders.

Second, everyone would have to undergo psychological suggestibility training, tailored to each individual’s industry and job, with the goal of squeezing the limit of everyone’s willpower.

Third, the final examination levels would be divided into three categories. The first level: absolute safety, those who would never get infected or if they were, it wouldn’t matter. The second level: people with considerable resistance but at risk of being controlled, who would be closely monitored. The third level: those unable to pass the exam and almost certainly destined to become carriers of the ZS bacteria.

With eight years left until 2520, Willian proposed that by the end of 2519, at least 70% of the population would be at the first level, and 20% at the second. The remaining 10% would lose their freedom.

This was an unmerciful and cruel decision.

It clearly divided humanity into three classes based on their ability to cope with the ZS bacteria.But no one complained, and no one caused trouble.

Since the 21st century, the human worldview has been imbued with a sobering fact.

War is inevitable, and what is being done now is wartime strategy, with no room for hesitation.

Only those who can survive the catastrophe have the right to become the new humanity.

This outline instantly plunged everyone in the Solar System into hellish, demonic training.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it’s December 2519.

On this day, Willian, filled with excitement, leapt forward.

He jumped into a Petri dish that seemed like a star environment.

His body melted instantly.

He couldn’t see how much change his outline had caused within the Solar System.

…

“Hello.”

“Who are you?”

“Glenwise Thompson.”

“The navigator who went to K Star?”

“Yes, me.”

“Am I dead?”

“On some level, yes.”

“Then you…”

“But on some level, we’re not dead.”

“What do you mean?”

“We’re living in a world ‘after death’.”

“Bullshit! That’s impossible! Humans don’t have souls.”

“It seems that you were a scientist when you were alive?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, then I won’t joke with you. We’re living in the world of the Quantum Virus. According to my speculation, this is not the world after human death, but the world after the death of the universe. I’ve been waiting for you here for ten years.”

“Where?”

“HD140283.”

“Methuselah Star?”

“Yes. After leaving the Solar System, my next mission was to go to the Methuselah Star.”

The two talked for a long time.

In this lengthy communication.

Willian quickly absorbed the information Glen conveyed to him.

99.9999…% of the Methuselah Star is a product of this era’s universe.

However, in the core of the Methuselah Star, there is a tiny particle with a volume equivalent to an electron but a mass comparable to Earth.

This tiny particle has existed since the birth of the universe and has continuously attracted hydrogen and helium elements from the early universe through a tiny gravitational effect.

Eventually, shortly after the birth of the universe, the Methuselah Star was created at an incredibly rapid speed.

Willian: “Besides this, have you discovered anything else?”

“No, I’m sorry. I’m just a navigator, not a scientist. Finding this particle and reaching my conclusion is already my limit. As for the rest, I don’t know what use there is in me being alive, what use there is in my consciousness continuing to exist. Is it just to let me enjoy eternal torment?”

Willian fell silent.

After a long time, Willian said happily, “Mr. Glenwise, you are certainly useful. Also, you got one thing wrong: I’m not with you right now. I’m still in my laboratory, in the Solar System.”

Glen: “Hmm?”

“The two of us, in similar forms of existence, have crossed the boundaries of the universe and the blockade of the Dome, building a bridge for communication. What we need to study now is both the Methuselah Star and the human civilization outside. You were once a navigator, and now and in the future, you and I are both bridges. Humanity has found a way to cross the dome’s blockade of information for the first time.”

Glen: “…”

After a long time, Glen smiled bitterly, “This is great, I’m truly great.”

Willian: “That’s because we’re all standing on the shoulders of giants. We can wait patiently for people outside and inside to contact us at the same time.”
