Chapter 210: Chapter 167: On behalf of Humanity, Thank You_2

She slowly said, “Right now, we have only completed the basic argument. Whether it can be successfully developed is still unknown. Besides, just like you asked, we have not found the essence of the particles nor understood why the Song of the Wilderness can use the human brain’s thought quantum storm as a medium to catalyze the production of the particles. We only know that it might exist, but we are still far from understanding how to use it. So, your contribution isn’t actually that great.”
Harrison Clark retorted, “If you can’t figure out the research, that’s not my fault, is it? It’s your incompetence, right?”
“You…”
Now, Martha Owen was truly pissed off by him.
Nora Camp couldn’t bear it anymore and spoke after everyone left, “Can you be a little more accommodating to her? She actually wanted to thank you.”
Harrison Clark put away his smile, “I don’t need her gratitude. I just hope that she can really make it work, so I must put pressure on her. Her defiance will be her motivation. If there’s someone in humanity who can really uncover the secrets of the particles, it won’t be me; it’ll be her. Also, I actually lied.”
Nora Camp was startled, “Huh? What lie?”
“Using the method I mentioned, we can indeed demonstrate the characteristics described in my report. But I’m not sure if these characteristics are actually the essence of the particles. They might be a state in between existence and nonexistence, like the wave-particle duality of light. We could consider it as light that has been reflected without loss in a very short distance.”
“Alternatively, this characteristic might just be a signal marker for locating. In practical application by the invaders, they first locked onto the signal marker’s position, and then, at the moment of initiating the war, they aimed at these markers, transmitting the real particles through quantum motion across space.”
“But in any case, the unique particle characteristics that humanity has never seen or created before surely have a close relationship with the real particles. Tracing this clue might lead to the answer and the real weapon of war. I’m not sure about all these things, and I can’t figure them out. So ultimately, the responsibility still lies with her.”
Nora Camp pondered for a long time.
She was filled with emotions.
She gradually began to admire this below-average new soldier under her command.
Before he explained everything, Nora Camp thought he was just making things up. Although she didn’t say anything, she wasn’t happy about it.
But once he revealed the truth, Nora Camp understood his good intentions.
He really knew how to play with people’s hearts.
Her cheeks grew warmer and warmer.
She started to daydream.
What potential would a person with a combination of her command ability, Harrison Clark’s exceptional gene activation, and amazing emotional intelligence and intuition have?
Putting aside any utilitarian thoughts, just looking at him as a person, he was actually quite great.
Interesting and outstanding, he could always easily quicken her heartbeat, as if destined to be together.
She raised her glass, “In any case, let me finish thanking you on her behalf. I thank you on behalf of humanity. Cheers.”
Harrison Clark smiled with narrowed eyes, “I also thank you on behalf of humanity. Cheers! We won’t stop until we’re drunk!”
Truly, they spent a night with no words.
In the early morning, a gentle breeze fluttered the curtains of the topmost villa in Black Bear Training Base’s high-ranking officer area.
The warm sunlight poured into the room.
Harrison Clark woke up from his slumber and looked at his side.
A smooth, delicate whiteness.
Nora Camp was already awake, but she didn’t disturb Harrison Clark. Instead, she looked down at her abdomen with a smile and gently stroked it with her palm.
Sensing Harrison Clark’s gaze, she turned her head and smiled, “Are you awake?”
“Yeah, I’m awake.”
“Do you think that when our child grows up, they’ll be even better than us?”
Harrison Clark thought for a while and decided not to tell her the cruel truth. Instead, he just said, “That’s difficult.”
Based on past experiences in struggling, it’s really difficult for her to be wrong.
The alarm clock went off, Nora Camp gracefully got out of bed and naturally got dressed. “You can report back by yourself. I need to go to the orbital ring to handle some backlog affairs of the Giant Wave Vertical Team. I will promote you when I come back.”
“Okay. But you don’t need to promote me. I can keep my job the way it is without making a special exception for me.”
“It’s not an exception. Your authority can remain unchanged, but your rank still has to be increased. It’s a rule.”
After some twists and turns, Harrison Clark stayed and successfully got his own Morrowind Individual Combat System.
Originally, he only planned to casually train with the Morrowind System, just enough to familiarize himself with the operations.
This time, he wanted to keep a low profile, not wanting to become humanity’s strongest individual soldier again.
It might seem glamorous, but it would only bring him unnecessary pressure.
Until Martha Owen made progress in her breakthrough research and created an antimatter bomb, Harrison Clark still didn’t believe that humanity had any chance of resistance in this iteration.
He wasn’t too regretful or disappointed about it. He was used to lying low and accepted it calmly.
So, instead of blindly tying himself to the battlefield and bearing the expectations of too many people, he preferred to hide his light and spend more time learning, especially 21st-century knowledge.
This time, he had a rare opportunity with full access to the technology field, and he couldn’t miss it. Whatever he could take, he would take.
After all, the thief wouldn’t visit an empty house, and he didn’t know what the situation would be next time..
