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

Chapter 976: Chapter 607: James Wright and Lila Brown_1

The moon-sized planet of Fish Star People corpses was released from the space station and floated outside of Pluto’s orbit.

Subsequently, nine giant chains wrapped around the planet.

Each end of the chain was dragged by a cylindrical battleship, seventy kilometers long and twenty-two kilometers in diameter.

Nowadays, humans have developed a very clear division in spacecrafts, including types such as fast transport ships for interstellar travel, continuous rotating ships that fly along fixed orbits forming curvature transportation networks, and medium and short-range ships with a variety of functional designs.

At this time, the cylindrical ship’s model was called Worm Type 3, designed primarily for transporting heavy materials within the galaxy, and complemented the transportation network functions.

Worm Type 3 was not equipped with a curvature engine but installed a powerful thrust engine with a high-power mass-energy conversion device as a medium supply and a low-power, space compression engine for steady propulsion during long-distance endurance.

The Worm Type 3’s transportation method was similar to the locomotive engines of ancient times, with impressive carrying capacity and strong endurance. It undertook a significant portion of the material transportation work within the numerous galaxies of the Morrowind Empire.

Theoretically, a Worm Type 3 only needed one charge to be able to fly continuously for tens of thousands of years with the help of its thrust engine.

Under the command of the Worm Type 3 array commander, the chains attached to the planet began to expand in a vine-like manner and quickly spread around until the entire planet was enveloped in a vine-ball.

Between the vines, however, a 16-kilometer diameter circular clearing was left behind.

Ten minutes later, a 15-kilometer diameter disc-shaped space station slowly approached and landed precisely in the clearing, its center having an error of only 0.00000…1 nanometers.

Subsequently, numerous drills protruded from the bottom of the disc.

The drills began spinning at high speeds, piercing directly into the interior of the corpse planet.

As the drills advanced, they accurately penetrated the gaps between the Fish Star People corpses without causing any damage to them.

Each drill was attached to an expansion chain.

Two hours later, the disc had turned into “moss” growing on the surface of the corpse planet, with roots anchored deep in the planet’s core.

The disc was the Earth Life Science Academy’s Primitive Gene Research Institute.

It took the Solar System seven years to transform the entire Primitive Gene Research Institute into a space station with self-propelled flight capabilities.

Of course, the transformation was not limited to just the flying aspect, there were also many detailed designs.

Currently, this flying device was the only human-made vehicle that could withstand near-light-speed flight capabilities without relying on curvature bubbles and space compression structures.

The material science technology of this vessel exceeded even the most advanced front-line battleships, surpassing the former Compound Eye Prism Ships.

It had a lighter mass to avoid creating too significant gravity effects on the corpse planet and disrupting its stability while still maintaining high strength, excellent ductility, and incredible adaptive stability.

Frozen embryos were lying quietly in the incubation room at the center of the research institute.

By the year 2740, the embryos had already ceased living for seven years, but the changes never stopped.

After a continuous seven-year immersion in the Song of the Wilderness, the arrangement of phosphorus atoms in the embryos’ brain cells formed a new structure between the Posner Cluster and Regular Infinite Stacked Cubic Structures, similar to the biological microbrains that were popular in the 22nd century.

In the main monitoring room within the research institute, a young man wearing a sky-blue protective suit was intently observing the projection data in front of him.

His hands were resting on two palm-sized spheres, and countless high-voltage, low-ampere electric arcs shot out from the surfaces of the spheres, connecting to the palms and fingers of his hands.

These spheres were the “keyboards and mice” of today’s humans.

The microcurrents flowed along the hands’ nerves directly to the brain, forming low-latency simulated nerve connections to transmit information and issue commands.

Researchers’ physical constitution was far inferior to that of combat personnel, and their nervous systems were not enhanced through intensive training. They could not repeatedly withstand the lower latency direct biological connections like combat personnel could.

Scientists learned from the operation ball concept of the Egyptian tribe’s spaceship, evolved it, and manufactured micro-electric connection technology with a latency slightly lower than that of the soldier’s direct biological connection.

After continuous operation for a long time, the young man’s eyes had become swollen, and his arms were numb.

He withdrew his hands, closed his eyes, and stretched in his chair.

A young woman wearing a dark blue coat pushed open the door and came up behind him, “James, take a break if you’re tired. You’ve been working for more than twelve hours straight.”

The man looked back and shook his head, “There are only eight hours left until the Sage’s mind docking. As the head of the Solar System technical support team, I should, of course, stand by my post. Enjoying social welfare benefits such as clocking out on time is a privilege for those in privileged civilizations. As pursuers and rebels, we have no right to leave work punctually. Moreover, I am James Wright. I must live up to my name and to my past self, right?”

The woman was silent for a moment, “But aren’t we at an advantage now?”

James couldn’t help but laugh, “If what you say is true and we have every advantage, the Sage wouldn’t have chosen such a risky way to preserve his personality. As it stands, our understanding of the true enemy is still limited. Everything you see as an advantage at this moment is an illusion. We’re still standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to plunge into the abyss.”

The woman: “But I’m worried your body won’t be able to handle it.”

“In the history of nothingness, I changed an era. I was the first person to break through the genetic awakening barrier. Now, on this new timeline, I have yet to prove myself. I can withstand it until I’m worthy of my name.”

“Have you found any issues? According to the Sage’s plan, isn’t the mind docking supposed to fail?”

James sighed, “There are two types of failures: the ones according to plan and the ones that spiral out of control. I can’t say why, but I’m worried about this child.”

As he said this, James’s eyes returned to the embryo in the simulation projection, made up of many cells and resembling a mulberry.

“Lila, you don’t need to worry about me. You should go rest, I’ll be fine.”

James returned his hands to the control sphere, but his thoughts inadvertently drifted to the distant Nameless Fleet.

He thought of his father, Victor Young, whom he had never met.I wonder how my father is doing now.

Did the fleet receive the latest scientific research achievements transmitted from here?

Can they really reach the Galactic Center smoothly and destroy the enemy’s stronghold base?

James Wright briefly loses his focus for a few seconds, then resumes staring intently at the projection.

His right hand constantly manipulates the projection to zoom in and out, observing the details inside the embryo, while his left hand keeps inputting data, utilizing the recently acquired one-billionth main computing power to complete the simulation.

But no matter how he calculates, the final conclusion is foolproof.

The “failure” within the plan seems to be firmly nailed down.

James Wright still can’t find the theoretical evidence for his ominous premonition.

If he speaks out, he will only be considered a worrywart.

Standing silently behind James Wright, Lila Brown watches the man’s back.

She has a lot to say, but doesn’t dare to speak.

She receives a notification on her personal communicator.

It’s time for her to return to her own post.

As a nutritionist, her main task in the entire project team is to formulate the nutrient substances that will be infused into the embryo at the moment of “resurrection.”

Lila completed her task three days ago.

But now, a new task has come her way.

Perhaps the expert group just had some new discussion results, requiring some adjustments to the proportion of nutrient substances.

Lila turns and walks out the door.

Her steps falter slightly, taking two extra steps before stabilizing.

In that moment, her heart is a little starved for blood,

10 years ago, fresh out of college, her first assignment was to care for the diet and health of an artificially cultivated person of the same age – James Wright.

At that time, James Wright had just emerged triumphant from the numerous embryos left by Mr. and Mrs. Victor Young, possessing the highest IQ and the strongest scientific thinking to earn the name “James Wright.”

But perhaps he allocated too much talent to his intellect, resulting in a very average physical condition and poor nutrient absorption.

Although the Ultra-Precise Treatment Device and the integrated nutrition machine can guarantee his life and forcibly infuse nutrients into his body, the effect is ultimately not as good as voluntary eating and absorption.

Furthermore, this not only causes great pain to James Wright but also limits his cognitive creativity.

After taking over the task, Lila spent five years tracking James Wright’s condition, adjusting his diet and nutritional balance with molecular precision until he recovered to normal.

The two joined the Primitive Gene Research Institute five years ago and became colleagues.

James Wright was no longer Lila’s research subject, but due to habit, Lila was unwilling to sever the connection and always paid special attention to James’s condition.

Before, she didn’t admit it was love, blaming it on her strong sense of responsibility.

But now she can’t avoid her own feelings.

She knows very well that she loves this man deeply.

In six hours, Lila and tens of thousands of colleagues in the Nutrition Group, along with hundreds of thousands of researchers and workers in other branches such as the Energy Group, Material Group, Power Control Group, etc., will evacuate the research institute’s space station.

As the highest-ranking person in the research institute, James Wright will, together with several thousand others, continue to stand firm in the space station, following the Corpse Planet while continuously accelerating, entering an eternal high-speed flight state.

That means this farewell will be eternal.

However, Lila ultimately doesn’t waste time, briskly stepping onto the time machine and heading to the Nutrition Group’s meeting room, three kilometers away, as soon as she leaves the monitoring room.

Sitting alone in the time machine that resembles a train carriage, feeling the slight vibrations, Lila quietly coughs.

Her lungs are starting to ache again.

She is a “patient”. Unlike James Wright’s congenital genetic defect, Lila suffers from a “chronic disease” developed later in life.

In this era, except for the brain, the whole human body can be rebuilt – “patients” are rarer than pandas in the 21st century.

During a laboratory accident eight years ago, Lila, who was adjusting the nutritional balance at a sub-microscopic level, was pierced in the lung by a stream of materials released from an explosion in the neighboring lab.

After rapid treatment, she recovered, but her lungs retained some residue from the material stream, containing a fragment of someone else’s DNA.

This DNA fragment has a very strong reproductive capacity and can divide infinitely.

She could have been completely cured by a full-body reconstruction, but she didn’t choose that path, opting instead to use a portable Gamma Knife to periodically control the reproduction of the DNA fragment.

She doesn’t want to change her body.

Lila is a very traditional person.
