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

Chapter 706: Chapter 435: Stars in the Galaxy, Rest Only after Getting Drunk【4300 words】_2

So, with hesitance and numbness yet determination, he reconstructed Scarlett and saw the possibility of restoring communication.

Once communication was restored, the fog shrouding the Orion Arm human civilization due to information isolation would be lifted, and he would quickly determine whether people like Nora Camp, Daniel Thompson, Needham Brown, Martha Owen, and Bernal Connor still existed.

He anticipated it and was worried about it.

This feeling was like spending a fortune on scratch-off lottery tickets, getting nothing after scratching a bunch of them, and placing the last hope on the last ticket to be scratched.

What frightened him was that after scratching the last ticket, he would still see “Thank You for Your Patronage”.

That would be utterly disappointing.

If there truly wasn’t a single person he knew, Harrison Clark’s attitude towards everyone in this era would return to the state of complete strangers in the first timeline, and he wouldn’t be able to find an emotional anchor. He didn’t know what impact that would have on his decisions.

“Scarlett, first set up a signal shielding firewall to prevent our information from leaking, then start establishing a resonant frequency channel, and try to passively receive resonant information in a one-way manner.”

After a long contemplation, even using two cups of liquor to boost his courage, Harrison Clark issued the order.

Scarlett replied, “Understood.”

“Firewall construction in progress… Completed.”

“Creating a resonant channel according to Bose quantum code 154784:546877:65… Channel established successfully.”

“Retrieving external information…”

“Fine-tuning frequency synchronization…”

“Signal detected. Sir, would you like to try reading the data?”

Harrison Clark abruptly stood up.

However, he didn’t rush to give an order but asked, “Can our side’s information be kept absolutely independent and undetectable by the other party?”

Scarlett: “Since my quantum intelligence resonates perfectly with the other party’s quantum intelligence at the same frequency, as long as I don’t send external instructions, actively accessing data, I can unidirectionally receive the other party’s information without being noticed. I can receive all of the other party’s information, including top-secret channels.”

Harrison Clark nodded.

He understood Scarlett’s meaning.

To put it simply, Scarlett’s relationship with the main human brain, Star, was roughly equivalent to that of two distant tuning forks.

The main human brain, Star, was the larger tuning fork, and Scarlett was the smaller one.

Strike the large tuning fork, producing sound waves.

The sound waves travel through the air.

The small tuning fork touches the sound waves and begins to vibrate.

Originally, the small tuning fork should also release sound waves when vibrating, but due to its small size, the passive resonance releases sound waves at too low an energy level.

The soft sound waves are continually diluted and canceled in the air, unable to travel back to the large tuning fork and interfere with its state.

Now, Scarlett’s relationship with Star is basically the same as that of the small and large tuning forks.

If we assume that the large tuning fork represents a conscious, intelligent entity, it wouldn’t know that its sound waves were being resonated synchronously by another small tuning fork.

Scarlett simply opened a small quantum beacon at the correct frequency, and all information came from the resonance vibration of the beacon.

Scarlett did not actively inject energy to transmit information.

This tiny resonance is insignificant in the ocean of information, and the signal would necessarily be shattered by the vast quantum information flow in the external environment within a distance less than one-tenth of a light-year.

This situation fit Harrison Clark’s needs perfectly.

For now, he didn’t plan on telling anyone that he had arrived and just left the Solar System.

The advantage of this approach was absolute safety, preventing his whereabouts from being easily detected by the Compound Eye civilization.

The downside was that he could not actively access large amounts of information from the Orion Arm humans. He could only pick up bits and pieces from the communication data streams exchanged between them, like a person taking photos of a train by the tracks.

He could clearly capture every passing “train”, but he couldn’t go to the station and photograph all the train heads.

Of course, each train head had to hit the road. As long as his photography time was long enough, eventually, he would be able to photograph all the train heads, obtaining sufficient amounts of information.

Confirming there were no issues, Harrison Clark commanded, “Start reading and display the information flow.”

As soon as his words fell, the star map in front of him shrank continuously with the Solar System as the center point, and the scale expanded.

Planetary systems near the Solar System, such as Rigil Kent, Barnard’s Star, Wolf 359, Lalande 21185, Cetus UV Star, Sirius, and so on, were included one by one in the three-dimensional star map projection view.

After a long time, the display range of the star map turned into a sphere with a diameter of 5,000 light-years.

There were hundreds of millions of bright stars in this sphere.

Hundreds of millions of stars formed a long, ribbon-like band that spanned the sphere’s two ends.

This band was a section of the Orion Arm.

After a few more minutes, complicated strands began to emerge from one planetary system after another, reaching other planetary systems among the hundreds of millions of stars.

As time passed, there were more and more strands.

The more strands connected within a planetary system’s range, the higher the brightness of that planetary system was gradually displayed on the star map.

On the other hand, there were also some faint strands spreading from beyond the viewing range into the star chart.

Above the star map, a column of statistical data was quickly being completed.

“Number of planetary systems with human information activities: 79…87…135…796…3154…7218…11512…13577…”

This was the number of stars with human activities that Scarlett calculated based on the continuously collected information streams during this period.

At first, the numbers increased rapidly, indicating that humans had been maintaining an extremely high information exchange frequency among themselves.
