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

The beginning of the ninth timeline was indeed infinitely good.

With the help of Solution and the Five Hundred Year Plan, human progress was remarkable, making unprecedented leaps, but ultimately, the war within the solar system was lost without a fight.

Although it appeared to be a back-and-forth battle, every aspect of the situation was irreversibly driving humanity towards a desperate abyss.

Z Bacteria were too powerful.

Human technological advances didn’t provide substantial help in the confrontation with the Z Bacteria.

Humans in this timeline did have opportunities to change the course of the war.

For instance, strictly implementing Willian’s defense policies and avoiding contact with the ground at all costs.

Theoretically, it was possible for mankind not to be controlled.

As long as the possibility of ZS Humans’ production was eliminated, technological superiority wouldn’t be wiped out.

This was Harrison Clark’s immediate conclusion, the most glaringly obvious mistake made by the human leadership in this instance.

The second mistake was that humans should have been more decisive in destroying Earth’s ecology.

Since the homeland was abandoned, it should have been done more resolutely.

The third mistake came even earlier.

Humans shouldn’t have left so many people in the solar system.

Here are several hypothetical situations.

Assuming the Dome was destined to descend within the Solar System, more people should have ventured out.

However, the Dome itself was a tool controlled by the Compound-Eyed Observers and had left the Solar System heading towards the Proxima Centauri System.

Theoretically, if human populations and resources were relatively evenly distributed in colony systems across the Orion Arm, opportunities could arise to make the Compound-Eyed Observers “suffer from choice paralysis” and have the Solar Dome relocated elsewhere.

Or even more extreme, forcibly concentrate resources on creating a bigger star system-level civilization specially designed to attract firepower and be targeted by the Solar Dome.

This tactic had a low probability of success since the contained coordinates of Earth were exposed by Voyager 2.

If humans were to be considered cancer and the Compound-Eyed Observers targeted medicine, then the beginning of the assault would likely target the Solar System.

Unless… a larger, more dangerous tumor was discovered within the universal body.

Harrison Clark’s judgment was that if higher-order civilizations had a deep understanding of both the human body and the Solar System, they could most likely perceive the potential of humanity within the environment of their homeworld in the Solar System.

Higher-order civilizations and Compound Eye civilizations’ emphasis on the Solar System went without saying, otherwise they wouldn’t have put such vast resources into creating Z Bacteria to eliminate the Homeworld.

But if humans deliberately created a colony outside the Solar System that surpassed its comprehensive civilization level, it might cause Compound Eye and higher-order civilizations to misunderstand, thinking the colony was more suitable for human development.

Therefore, after the timing was right, if the colony ships deliberately exposed information outside the Solar Dome, it might be possible to lure the Dome away.

This could give true freedom to the people within the Solar System, potentially allowing for the creation of greater human civilization therein after Willian’s maturity and Sergey’s birth.

In Harrison Clark’s understanding, it had been proven that humans had the greatest potential within the Solar System’s physical rules and cosmic environment.

Even just gambling on this possibility would be worth it.

Anyway, leaving behind a massive population of 16 billion was definitely a mistake.

Ultimately, the culmination of these three most obvious mistakes led to the end-times situation in the Solar System.

The world government leaders of the time, represented by Mason Howard, missed many opportunities to make the right choices.

Were these people too stupid?

Not necessarily.

Were these people not sufficiently enlightened?

Not necessarily either.

The so-called correct choices seem simple, but when the decision-making body is expanded to the entire civilization and the process is extended to hundreds of long years of history, many seemingly random things become historical inevitabilities.

The ultimate origin of the logic behind the three major mistaken decisions can be traced back to Harrison Clark himself and the Solution he created.

The original intention of Harrison Clark’s creation of Solution was to facilitate strict implementation of the Five Hundred Year Plan.

However, during the nearly five centuries from the 21st to the 25th century, Solution accomplished its basic tasks while subtly forming an overly strong control.

A seemingly civilian fortress appeared, radiating influence in every aspect of life, a thought cocoon that Harrison Clark despised.

Harrison Clark’s attempt to weaken his own influence and expand the scale of Solution was meant to break his personal image, dilute his own achievements, and break the thought cocoon’s control over the civilization.

Unfortunately, he, as the dragon slayer, ultimately became the most powerful evil dragon.

This time, the cocoon he created was even stronger and more stubborn.

Compared to his unintentional mistakes in the eighth timeline, his actions this time directly contributed to the reinforcement of the cocoon.

Behind the appearances of the three major mistaken decisions lay another, more fundamental core mistake.

Solution placed too much faith in Harrison Clark and became trapped in the boundaries he set, so they needed to question more and think more independently.

If the means of the Compound-Eyed Observers could change from “Song of the Wilderness” to S Bacteria and then to Z Bacteria, it could certainly change into something else as well.

This was a very simple truth.

But so many intelligent people didn’t think of it, or even if someone did, their unique views didn’t receive the respect they deserved.
