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

Chapter 922: Chapter 558: The Distorted Solar System_1

At this moment, Harrison Clark was unaware that two of his direct descendants had been born.

He had already started planning the next two hundred years of action for the external Morrowind Empire.

As Glen and Willian began their somewhat blind wait in the “confined” space, in the deep winter of 2520, amidst endless anxiety, the Solar System welcomed the special day of January 1st.

Long before this, humanity had made full preparations for the arrival of this day.

Since 2512, Willian’s Devil Training Program had been enforced.

There were dissenting voices, but not many.

...

Interestingly, more than half of those who voiced opposition passed the first-class assessment.

On the contrary, many third-class evaluators came from those who obeyed without question.

Eventually, third-class evaluators accounted for 9.87% of the total population, and the training program was declared a perfect success.

Now, these people have all been placed in the Saturn Space Station, subject to the strictest control and pervasive surveillance.

Of course, this completely undermines personal freedom.

Although third-class humans can still engage in any activity they want, society and civilization no longer have any demands or expectations for them.

They can indulge themselves in pleasure and self-destruction, as long as they do not violate the existing laws of the space station and affect the freedom of others.

However, strangely enough, few of these people who lost their freedom actually fell into depravity. They simply changed their workplace location and continued working as usual.

In addition to their daily work, this group of people also insisted on high-intensity training, striving to become at least second-class humans, if not first-class.

In addition to equipping everyone with a personal information collection system, the Disaster Prevention Department set up as many as 80 million multifunctional sensors in the Solar System to strictly guard against Z Bacteria, S Bacteria, and ZS Bacteria, and also rehearsed as many as a thousand different potential crises.

As soon as any abnormal situation arises, the Disaster Prevention Department will respond immediately.

As early as three years ago, the entire monitoring system had been running around the clock.

In the Disaster Prevention Department’s headquarters on Earth, top officials such as Mason Howard, the highest executive officer of humanity, Maxwell Owen, the director of the Summit Research Institute, Smith Constantine, the commander-in-chief of the Solar System War, and William Green, the director of the Resource Allocation Department, and Carl Edwards, the richest man in the world, gathered together.

Everyone frowned, focusing on the feedback displayed by the three-dimensional projection of the sensors.

The clock on the wall showed 00:15 a.m.

Mason Howard: “There’s no response. Is there something wrong with our sensors, or has nothing really happened?”

As he asked this question, Mason Howard and the others’ gaze turned to Maxwell Owen.

Since Willian retired from the mountains, Maxwell Owen successfully absorbed the Grand Unified Theory, created the three-dimensional subspace, and continued to hold the position of the Chief Scientist of mankind after passing Harrison Clark’s personal space-time topology control exam.

Now, at nearly 200 years old, Maxwell Owen has never stopped learning and absorbing knowledge, becoming a certified scholar of space-time topology.

But Maxwell Owen was also baffled by Mason Howard’s question.

About thirty percent of the disaster prevention department’s plans came from his drafts, but he never considered the possibility of nothing happening.

After hesitating for a while, Maxwell Owen said, “Perhaps the enemy has changed their tactics again, using a new type of attack we have never seen or even imagined.”

Smith Constantine wondered, “Attack? But there’s no change on any of us.”

Maxwell Owen’s assistant, Joel Vilen, a senior researcher at the Summit Research Institute, added, “Since we previously detected that the energy index of the Dome is 10% higher than the information handed down by the prehistoric civilization, there should be some unusual changes.”

William Green: “We all know that something must be happening, but since we cannot determine what exactly is happening, why don’t we all just settle down and watch the changes?”Mason Howard agreed, “That’s right. Based on the experiences of our predecessors, perhaps the changes haven’t been significant enough. I believe that when problems accumulate to a certain extent, we will be able to react in time.”

Maxwell Owen let out a long sigh, “All our preparations are for the purpose of nipping potential problems in the bud, don’t you think? Now it seems that we haven’t done enough.”

Three days later, the Disaster Prevention Department’s Unified Command Committee reluctantly declared the meeting over.

Since all the precautionary measures had proven futile, all humanity could do was wait.

No one expected that the wait would be an excruciating five years.

But the situation people encountered after five years was extremely bizarre.

With a “rumbling” sound that seemed to reverberate in everyone’s minds, it was as if some string had snapped.

Then, inexplicably, the entire Solar System “moved.”

Tests showed that Earth began accelerating towards the sun at a rate of one kilometer per second per hour.

Soon, intelligence from various detectors revealed that all eight planets and other celestial bodies within the Solar System were also approaching the sun at different rates of acceleration.

The magnitude of the acceleration varied with distance: the farther away, the greater the acceleration.

Not only that, but the volume of the sun and other celestial bodies was also shrinking quietly.

On average, the diameter of the sun would decrease by 10 meters every second.

This seemingly subtle change revealed far more.

Just five minutes later, the physics research institute of Summit Science Academy presented a new hypothesis: the diameter between atoms that form molecules, electron cloud diameter, atomic nucleus diameter, and quark oscillation amplitude all shrank with the passage of time.

Moreover, the rate of shrinking was accelerating as time went on.

Maxwell Owen drew a conclusion.

“This is different from the shrinking of the dome in the past. In previous timelines, the compression of space by the dome primarily altered the speed of light. However, this time, the dome has completely changed the fundamental laws of physics within the Solar System. Gravitational interaction, weak electromagnetic interaction, and strong interaction forces within the Solar System have all been distorted. According to calculations, all matter within the Solar System will be compressed into a palm-sized sphere in a hundred years. As for humans, they will all die in twenty years due to the increasingly unbearable pressure. The final form of matter within the Solar System will be a structure similar to the cores of the Egyptian tribe that the Third Advance Fleet brought back from the K Star. Our galaxy has been distorted.”

Mason Howard gritted his teeth, “Can we reverse this process of rule distortion?”

Maxwell Owen thought for a while and replied with three words, “I don’t know.”

Smith: “So, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?”

Maxwell Owen shook his head forcefully, “Of course not! The health assessment system tells me that I have five years left to live. I will complete as much work as possible in these last five years, based on the technology of three-dimensional subspace. However, the struggle that will follow must be undertaken by all of you.”

…

If outsiders like Harrison Clark, Glen, and Willian knew about Maxwell Owen’s conclusion,

Then both Harrison Clark and Willian would probably exclaim in unison,

Isn’t this just like becoming a Methuselah Star core?

…

Just as one side arrived at a desperate conclusion, new bad news came from the other side, in the space station located within Saturn’s ring orbit.

Third-class Evaluators were inexplicably committing suicide one after another.

That’s right, the ZS Bacteria had not been absent; it had only arrived five years late.

Since it couldn’t control these Third-class Evaluators to create rebellion, the ZS Bacteria simply aimed to kill them all, seeking to reduce human productivity to the maximum extent.
