Chapter 902: Chapter 544: It’s Your Turn to Save Me_2
He could have focused on the real world, prioritizing extending his life after every trip to the future, and immediately terminated himself after carrying the knowledge back. In this way, he could have enjoyed a life of several centuries in the twenty-first century, living a life of comfort beyond what most people could imagine.
However, he wanted to change the destiny of the entire humanity, which meant that he had to store large amounts of information in his brain, indirectly giving up the possibility of resurrection.
If it were the him from before, he might have regretted his actions.
But now, he felt fine with his choice, even if given another chance, he would still go ahead without hesitation.
Being just a mere transporter, he would only experience material satisfaction and mental emptiness.
Now, he felt that everything was just right.
...
As for enlightenment, he had already had enough of it.
“Do you understand now?”
As soon as Harrison Clark put down the book, Star appeared abruptly and asked.
Harrison nodded, “I do. Thank you. Perhaps your judgment is correct, and you’ve done me a great favor.”
Star coughed lightly, “No need for thanks, it’s what I should do.”
She didn’t dare admit that awakening Harrison was accidental when he was about to accomplish something important.
The real motivation for her to take action was just her desire to fulfill her promise.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go take care of your own business, don’t worry about me. I need to readjust myself.”
Harrison thought that chatting with Star would consume too much computing power and affect other matters, so he decided to dismiss her.
“No need. As you know, I can run multiple threads simultaneously. You’re not worried that I can’t handle matters outside, are you? You’re overthinking it. My calculations are already completed, and the computing power I allocate to daily tasks is now 80% more than before.”
Harrison silently gave her a thumbs up and changed his words: “But now I have to get busy, okay?”
“Oh, alright.”
“By the way, can you change my room for me?”
“No.”
“My room layout is based on my personality and cannot be adjusted.”
“Alright. I’ll go have a look outside.”
Harrison saw her eager expression and felt slightly uneasy, so he chose retreat as his best strategy.
Opening the door, he took a step forward.
What he saw was a misty sea of clouds.
He was quite familiar with this scene.
Each of these fine, sand-like white particles represented a piece of data.
The data could be small or large, from a conversation between two people to an annual report exchanged between two different intergalactic research institutes.
However, compared to the quantum network world he saw in the previous timeline, the visualization of the data he saw now was slightly different.
In the previous timeline, in addition to the dust-like data packets in the quantum world, there were also intertwined neural-fiber-like networks, which were the stable energy lines established by humans for stable long-distance data transmission. This time, those lines were not there.
Harrison carefully recalled his actions in the previous timeline, and with a move of his mind, his body collapsed on the spot.
His consciousness suddenly connected to the enormous data circulating in the network.
As the current master of this semi-closed network, Star had granted Harrison the highest privileges. The network was completely open to him, allowing his consciousness to easily penetrate into any corner of the network and access any piece of data.
Perhaps due to being a civilization navigator for so long, the first thing he did subconsciously was to sweep away the cluttered scientific information circulating within the network.
A moment later, Harrison was startled and realized something.
He had said that after his death, he would no longer interfere with the progress of civilization and maintain absolute trust for the future generations.
The more he knew, the more habit would make him want to interfere.
He slightly restrained himself, giving up on learning about current events and even actively closing the “all-seeing monitoring” that was still open to him alone, shifting focus back to self-exploration.
In the past, he had learned a lot of knowledge from the future, guiding science with his own knowledge.
But he never studied the knowledge of his current era like a true student, learning step by step diligently.
Now that he had ample time and the leisure he had created himself, he could actually enrich himself again.
Ever since his “death,” his memory that had once been diminishing had recovered.
He first picked up a philosophy textbook.
This was a book written in 2150 by a renowned scholar from the “opposition.” Its ideas spanned the ages, and its analysis of problems was extremely thorough, often making readers exclaim in admiration.
The philosopher’s name was Winston Lewis, the son of Leonard Lewis.
Harrison originally wanted Winston to inherit Leonard’s mantle and become the main creator of his film and television scripts, but he didn’t expect Winston to rebel against Harrison’s arrangements after only two years, angrily leaving to become a freelance writer criticizing Harrison on the internet for another two years. Then suddenly one day, as though he had an epiphany, he began writing philosophical essays that were eventually compiled into a book, leaving behind a thought-provoking masterpiece for the ages.

In 2170, Harrison had said that this book could be used in universities for a thousand years without becoming outdated.
But in the past, he had merely skimmed through the books, relying on his strong memory to remember things. Now that he was no longer human, he could finally let go of his prodigious memory ability and try to extract the essence of the text.
After a short while, Harrison put down the book.
He discovered a problem.
His memory was still intact, and reading could still help him gain insights, but his emotions were fading, and at a much faster rate than in the ninth timeline where he relied on the black hole, lasting only about a hundred years.
This made Harrison anxious.
Three days later, after verifying his suspicions, Harrison concluded.
To maintain emotional stability, his spirit had to be built on a black hole.
Only the rotating quantum particles orbiting a black hole at high speed could carry human thoughts.
But the black hole closest to the Solar System was the Electronic Black Hole that vanished in 2025 after lurking near the Solar System waiting to receive Voyager 2.
The second closest was in the HR6819 star system, 1000 light-years away from the Solar System.
The third closest was the supermassive black hole binding the Shadow Galaxy.
Harrison estimated that it would be around 2400 when humans could achieve the first layer of superluminal flight at twenty times the speed of light.
Therefore, with humanity’s current capabilities, it would be impossible for him to reach the HR6819 star system within a hundred years.
A new problem had arisen.
He made a decisive decision after thinking for only 0.000001 seconds and went back on his word again.
From now on, he would immediately mobilize scientific research forces to quickly advance the Stellar Rapid Development System and complete it within thirty years, at all costs.
Then, within fifty years, he would drain the potential of Cetus UV, 8.73 light-years away from the Sun, and transform it into an artificial black hole.
This would be the first time in human history that an artificial black hole was created.
This required humanity to master the Grand Unified Formula that Harrison had brought to an unprecedented level of perfection.
Now, it was time for others to save Harrison.
