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

Scientists also compared the materials, performance, and weapons of the Compound-Eyed Observer’s battleships that Harrison Clark depicted in his films and television works, concluding that the Compound-Eyed Observer’s battleships had indeed absorbed some of the ancient Egyptian tribe’s technology.

The Egyptian tribe itself, it is presumed, was a unique mechanical civilization primarily composed of metals and a small amount of organic material.

The extinction of the Egyptian tribe is believed to have occurred between 50,000 and 1 million years ago.

Such an advanced civilization disappeared silently within the Orion Arm, leaving behind only a stranded escape vessel, revealing the ferocity and strength of the Compound-Eyed Observer.

From then on, both colonies almost simultaneously made the decision to break their vows and attempt to contact their homeworld.

But something strange happened.

They could see everything within the Solar System, but no matter how they sent signals to their homeworld, they received no response.

Even if they switched to their homeworld’s Quantum Network Channel, the results were the same.

This left the scientists in the two colonies baffled and they could only attribute it to the Solar System Barrier, drawing a new conclusion.

In fact, people and equipment within the Solar System cannot see the situation outside.

While the stars still exist, the light and signals are twisted and isolated by the barrier, with the distortion increasing with distance.

So, after 2500 AD, Earth civilization has been unable to observe the true universe outside, and can only access the empty deep space within two light years; the rest of the cosmic background has become a false cosmic environment.

Although they were unable to communicate with their homeworld, the colonies managed to successfully contact each other, quickly exchanging information and continuing to advance technology in their respective fields.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two parties was too great, so while research ships could travel between them, mass material exchange was not possible, so each colony’s battleships evolved based on their own primary development directions. freewebnσvel.cøm

The people in the two colonies once considered whether to send research ships back to the vicinity of the Solar System to attempt communication through the barrier with their homeworld, but ultimately decided against it, fearing it would expose information prematurely.

On one hand, their homeworld had taken another technological development path and was not necessarily more advanced than them, so absorbing their technology might not be beneficial; on the other hand, instead of exposing information prematurely, they would rather exhaust their forces, organize a vast fleet, return to the battlefield as surprise soldiers at the time of war, and catch the Compound-Eyed Observer’s spherical battleships off guard.

Of course, they knew that once their fleet appeared on the battlefield, the position of their colony would be instantly exposed.

But what does it matter?

The enemy’s fleet was already nearby, and they wouldn’t leave empty-handed anyway.

Rather than each waiting for death, it is better to return home and fight with all their might.

After all, there is only a short 500 years left, and there is really too little that humanity can do – they can only do as much as they can.

During the assault, Harrison Clark had basically scanned through this information.

He had his own opinions.

The technologies and life forms of those lower-level civilizations, deemed insignificant by the colonies, each have their unique characteristics.

Although the overall strength of low-level civilizations is low and the colonies have only had preliminary contact with them on the information level without forming a commercial and technological communication system, Clark believes that humanity should still try to deepen contact with these low-level civilizations, learn from each other, and absorb their strengths.

As long as they can accept their expertise and incorporate it into their own system, even just a single idea can bring immense benefits.

Unfortunately, the colonies have not done enough in this regard.

But it is not their fault in the non-war situation.

The universe is simply too vast, even just the “small” Milky Way, with a radius of 50,000 light years.

Even the small portion that is the Orion Arm spans over 20,000 light years in length.

Even at the speed of light, this journey is far, far too long.

Five hundred years is really just a snap of the fingers, and nothing can be accomplished in that time.

A thousand years wouldn’t be much better.

In the meantime, Harrison Clark could also definitively conclude that the Compound Eye Civilization was indeed the current ruler of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Among the three groups of scientists currently discussing the issue, some from the Solar War Zone believe that the Compound Eye Civilization could be a new rising civilization within the Milky Way Galaxy.

But Harrison Clark disagrees, firmly believing that the Compound-Eyed Observers are invaders from the distant Virgo Cluster of Galaxies.

After completing technological incubation, they deployed their fleet, which arrived in the Milky Way and sparked a war, defeating the Egyptian tribe.

Then, the Compound-Eyed Observers began ruling the Milky Way with a very iron-fisted style.

Their governing method was simple and brutal: sending spherical battleships to patrol, and exterminating potential civilizations once they were discovered.

It is possible that the Compound-Eyed Observers visited Earth during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, but at that time, Earthlings were too weak to be of any significance.

In the 21st century, Earth’s 0.7-level civilization was not supposed to be in the category of those to be exterminated.

In the first timeline, the Earth civilization of the 26th century remained a considerable distance from stable interstellar travel capabilities.

Theoretically, Earthlings at that time should have still been safe.

Judging from the outcomes, it was due to the Traveler entering the field of high-level civilizations in advance, with the Compound-Eyed Observers subsequently deploying the Solar System Barrier to seal it off, then dispatching spherical battleships to exterminate Earth’s civilization.

This continued through seven timelines; in the eighth, the Compound Eye Civilization realized that the spherical battleships might not be enough to cope with the situation and deployed the Prism Ship Fleet instead.

Based on the fact that the Solar System Barrier instantaneously reached the Proxima Centauri System, Harrison Clark deduced that the barrier possesses the ability to traverse space.
