I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

Chapter 975: Chapter 606: Driving Oneself to a Dead End_1

Tens of thousands of scientists from various fields, as well as 1/10,000 of Star’s computing power, spent 24 years, consumed countless precious resources, carefully nurtured, and monitored the treasure embryo around the clock for 24 hours. But it died.

Without warning, it happened suddenly.

First, scholars and technical staff within the Institute of Life Sciences traced the roots to investigate deeply but only reached a very superficial conclusion.

The current synthetic embryo is approximately equivalent to a normal embryo developed between the third and fourth weeks, just forming the heart structure, with facial features and organs successively shaped and brain cells continuously increasing.

From the perspective of quantum thinking, the number of fetal brain cells at this time has already stacked up to just about enough to withstand a tiny primitive state of consciousness.

But just as the tiny consciousness was about to be born from nothing, some uncontrollable situations occurred. The phosphorus atoms that make up the fetal brain cells did not successfully aggregate into Posner clusters.

The supposedly stable quantum spiral array that constructs individual consciousness suddenly disintegrated. It’s like the Solar System was suddenly robbed of the sun, and planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and nebulae revolving around the sun went their separate ways under centrifugal force.

Subsequently, the embryo lost its vitality and stopped developing.

This is just the outcome of the event. As for why it happened, scholars are quite puzzled.

Every detail of the embryo’s development process was clearly under the all-round observation of the Real Energy level monitoring means, and everything was normal.

From the perspective of modern science’s logic, there should be no truly unforeseen accidents in the universe under the observation of Real Energy level monitoring means; all accidents should show more or less omens before they occur.

In order to find the cause of the accident, billions of people within the Solar System were temporarily transferred to the accident investigation group by Star, and even more people’s leisure and entertainment activities were transformed into learning and participating in the common algorithmic games.

Thanks to the civilization task segmentation system established by Star, in the vast imperial territory, people from tens of thousands of different galaxies, with a total population of up to 100 billion, have joined the investigation of the accident.

Many people don’t know the size of the project they are participating in; they only know that there is an additional detail in their personal task bar, which takes a few hours or even days to complete a small computation and deduction.

These tiny workloads will become part of the core work under the unified integration of many space-time topology masters and Star at the Summit Research Institute.

Under the new technology tackling mode, the fog was gradually lifted layer by layer.

Sixty-three days after the embryo’s “death,” an academic report was presented to Harrison Clark.

The “cause” of the embryo’s death was found.

The person responsible was none other than Harrison Clark himself.

“I’m still living inside the Cetus UV black hole, and my thoughts are constantly interacting with the universe. These pieces of information will instantly travel infinite distances and reach any part of the universe. This isn’t a unique trait to me alone; every Earth human being has the same characteristics as me.”

“At the moment when the tiny consciousness in the embryo is about to take shape, there will be a huge exchange of information with the universe. But because my consciousness still exists, the embryo is affected by my thoughts, and ultimately fails to form.”

“No matter how far I am from the embryo, whether the subspace ‘wall’ blocks us, the impact of this information cannot be avoided. In simpler terms, there cannot be two people with the exact same basic information in the same universe at the same time.”

Harrison Clark summarized himself.

Star: “Yes. In fact, this phenomenon has been described in many science fiction movies and novels many years ago.”

“Well, I know.” Harrison Clark nodded and shrugged.

As early as the 20th and 21st centuries, science fiction writers had created many literary works about time travel.

These works interpret the time paradox from various angles and in various ways, reaching a large number of conflicting conclusions.

“What will happen when the ‘me’ of the future time travels and meets the ‘me’ of the past?” This is the scene that readers and movie viewers are most likely to imagine and be curious about.

Since there is no real possibility of realizing such a hypothetical scene, people can only fantasize and speculate from different angles.

Some people think that two or more “me” can coexist.

The novel “You Ressurrected Corpses” and its adapted film “The Predestination” materialized this concept to the extreme, forming a loophole-filled and contradictory, but logically consistent closed-loop worldview.

However, the more common perception is that there cannot be two “me” in the same universe at the same time.

If there are, then these two “me” must not meet.

As for what would happen if they did, even the best science fiction writers can only leave their descriptions to unverifiable fantasies, known as blind speculation.

In the previous nine time travels, each time Harrison Clark arrived a thousand years later, the grass on his past self’s grave grew several feet high, so he didn’t face this problem.He had often imagined what it would be like if he could live for a thousand years.

Could his future self still exist?

Now he had the answer.

He must infinitely magnify the concept that the two “I’s” cannot meet, to the extent that the same universe cannot have two “I’s” existing simultaneously.

Suddenly, Harrison Clark realized that he was now, in fact, on the edge of a cliff, embarking on a dead end.

His “survival” led to the failure of the embryo development.

Even if cultivated again, there would be no significant difference in the outcome.

Without a body, he would not be able to find a vessel to support his revival plan in the 31st century.

But now, he had already persisted until the 28th century and could not gamble with suicide, leaving everything to the mysterious power that would revive him in the 31st century.

What if he couldn’t be revived?

What if humanity ultimately lost in the end?

Finally, even if he continued to linger on the brink of death and witnessed it himself, it would not be enough.

According to the speed of his emotional dissipation after his thoughts were quantized on the previous timeline, combined with the difference in carrying capacity due to the size difference between Cetus UV Black Hole and Shadow Black Hole, in about three hundred years, his emotions would be reduced to zero, lost his personality completely and become a pure artificial intelligence, essentially still dead.

“There is no way out. The embryo must regain its vitality.”

Harrison Clark sighed.

Since turning himself into quantum wisdom, it had been a long time since he used such an emotionally external tone to speak.

Star looked at him with slight anxiety, “So what do you plan to do? I must emphasize that even if you commit suicide now, you cannot make the dead embryo come back to life. I suggest you don’t take such a gamble; we really can’t afford to lose this time.”

Harrison Clark nodded, “I know.”

He looked at the technical report on the investigation of the embryo death incident and said, “Actually, many researchers have guessed the truth about my not being dead yet. Since we don’t release the information, others can only speculate. In that case, let’s advance the resurrection plan by three hundred years.”

“Do you plan to infuse your personality into the embryo?”

Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes. Since the embryo died due to the lack of proactive consciousness support, I’ll put myself in there.”

“There are two problems. First, the information you possess has far exceeded the limit that the human brain can bear. Second, there are very few brain cells in the embryo. The success rate of injecting your thoughts into the embryo is too low.”

Harrison Clark shook his head, the focus of his virtual body’s gaze gathered, and a complex symbol was slowly forming at the center of his sight.

Star looked at it and exclaimed, “You’ve combined Fish Star People’s stackable memory code with the Egyptian tribe’s symbol language?”

Harrison Clark blinked, “Not just that, but also the square characters in my mother tongue, Chinese.”

Star understood Harrison Clark’s plan.

He would “format” his memory, abandon all his former life, and truly live again.

One day in the future, when his new self could bear all his current memories, he would give this complex symbol to him, providing an opportunity to awaken his memories.

Star asked, “What if you fail? What if you can’t fully read the memory information inside? You’ll forget a lot of things!”

Harrison Clark shook his head with a smile, “Even if I forget everything, it’s fine. I’ll start over, and I’ll still be myself.”

Three hours later, Harrison Clark’s thoughts began to detach from Cetus UV Star, and following the massive bandwidth quantum network communications channel opened by Star, traversed the vast distance straight to the Solar System.

Meanwhile, the Earth Life Science Academy’s embryo cultivation room began to play the “Song of the Wilderness,” which was a physical formatting of the embryo, aiming to remove remnants of previously created micro-personalities.

The Fish Star People’s Corpse Planet in the Voyager Galaxy was fully loaded into a giant space station. The space station began to accelerate gradually, heading straight for the Solar System.

Years later, two months apart from each other, the space station carrying the Fish Star People’s Corpse Planet and Harrison Clark’s thoughts arrived at the Solar System, one after the other.
