Of course, the warning from the investigator and the sight of elite investigators laying scattered around the Monrovia Canyon Park base played a certain deterrence effect.
At least for now, they were only searching for him and had given strict orders to the searchers that after finding him, they could only communicate, call for reinforcements as soon as possible, and not act on their own accord to apprehend him. Their attitude had to be amicable as well.
However, at the same time, the federal government issued a warrant for Harrison Clark, stating that he should turn himself in and accept scrutiny. Based on past experience, Harrison Clark would ultimately have to submit himself to a “fair and just” scrutiny.
But almost simultaneously, another video was released online.
It was a long video, starting from when Harrison Clark noticed something strange in the car and began talking to the driver, all the way up until he stormed the office at the park’s base.
At the end of the video, Harrison Clark sternly reiterated the issue of scientific borders and warned the other party to face reality and let go of their confrontational mentality.
He urged them to drop their hypocrisy, admit their greed, face their flaws, and understand that cooperation and mutual benefit are the only way out, and to at least show a bit of sincerity towards the future of humanity.
The demands Harrison Clark made in the video were high, and he didn’t expect the other party to understand right away. But as long as his intention got through, that was enough.
If this video was uploaded on LitTwitter or MustDie, it would quickly be blocked and deleted, causing no impact whatsoever.
Unfortunately for them, the video was released under the corporate account of Summit Ventures, posted only on domestic websites.
With the support of a major corporation and the attention of Chris Owen and the anxious Avril Green, the video was clearly displayed online.
Although domestic videos have almost no impact over here, Harrison Clark only needed to let those who should see it, see it.
The lingering influence of “Madman’s Conjecture Collection 2.0” was still present, and the awakened Boston scholars no longer chose to blind themselves.
They began to seriously consider one thing.
If Harrison Clark got away and became completely disappointed with their politicians, cutting off the gates he opened for everyone, what impact would it have on the Federation?
If Harrison Clark was confined, would a person of his character be willing to accept becoming a tool for capital puppetry and wealth accumulation?
Or if Harrison Clark died here, what would be the consequences?
Without a doubt, the steps that human technology was about to take forward would come to a sudden halt.
Would any top scientists of other nationalities dare to come here for exchange in the future?
What actions would Rainer, Harrison Clark’s successor in China, take?
If all the current research directions of Summit Research Institute were true, and all the projects Harrison Clark mentioned existed, then what would the world look like?
If something happened to Harrison Clark himself, would Summit Research Institute and his homeland take even more aggressive measures to block technology?
Then the two countries would inevitably enter a more hostile state, and the other side could only watch as they rose rapidly and overtook them.
What would the world be like in ten years?
What would the world be like in twenty years?
To defend their own interests, politicians would inevitably, and could only, set off a war that could not be stopped.
What would the final outcome be?
Could we possibly defeat that colossal entity with a population of 1.4 billion and a history of 5,000 years?
Where is the world headed?
Where is the Federation headed?
Where is humanity headed?
Scholars with knowledge seemed to have smelled the scent of terror.
We must prevent all of this and not allow foolish politicians to drag the entire civilization into the abyss.
The scholars in Boston started taking action.
They initiated an AAAS Emergency Meeting while lobbying and advocating all around.
They shared their understanding of Harrison Clark as a person with others and even repeatedly played his speeches at the Linton Institute meeting room and the airport to scholars in other cities and even Europe.Then, the federal government faced protests from its own people and allies.
The missing Harrison Clark, pretending to be in danger, was actually using his own small actions to viciously twist the mainspring of human ideological progress.
There are many ways to transition from malicious competition to benign competition.
One of the safest and most stable methods is to give civilization time.
When the level of technology advances to a certain degree and is not influenced by both “Morning Wind” and “Sharp edges fully exposed”, when humans officially step out of the earth and into space, and when social productivity and resources and energy are completely excessive, competition will naturally become benign.
The most painful method is to jointly experience a catastrophic disaster like the S Bacteria Invasion.
The simplest method, although with the deepest side effects, is to actively immerse oneself in the influence of the “Song of the Wilderness”.
The riskiest method is what Harrison Clark is doing, awakening the self-awareness of scholars who should have been foresighted in the 21st century without considering the consequences, using great crises to force them to regain their judgment.
Doing this kind of thing in the 21st century, when technological level is not yet sufficient to support absolute peace and the shadow of war has never completely disappeared, is actually very dangerous.
The risky part is that he must not really die here; otherwise, everything will be over.
He didn’t do it before because he didn’t have enough confidence in absolute self-preservation.
Now he dares to do it.
As long as he doesn’t die, the so-called danger does not actually exist.
No war can be waged.
Although most people are panic-stricken, everything is under control.
Not everyone is so confused and frightened. For example, when the prudent businessman Chris Owen was pulling Rainer nervously to think of a solution together, Rainer was still doing his own thing diligently.
Chris Owen was very angry, “Why aren’t you in a hurry at all?”
Rainer smiled, “Mr. Owen, you don’t understand him.”
Chris Owen: “Huh?”
“His wisdom is beyond everyone’s imagination. I dare to bet that everything that is happening now and will happen is within his expectations. He is spreading a pair of invisible big hands, trying to control civilization.”
After being stunned for a long time, Chris Owen sat down and pondered deeply. About half an hour later, he gradually calmed down, gasping, “This… he’s too terrifying!”
Rainer shrugged, “How can you say it’s terrifying? It should be said that it’s too great.”
Chris Owen settled down and began to look at the changes in the external environment with a more calm attitude.
People with such a mind must be sure about what they are doing.
Harrison Clark was still hiding in the slums of Carlisle, calmly typing and copying movie scripts on his laptop.
From time to time, he also sent some encrypted messages to Carrie Thomas to chat, so she wouldn’t worry without reason.
Time passed day by day, and five days later, the federal government withdrew the false charges.
Harrison Clark was a bit surprised, which was two days earlier than he expected.
He logged onto the social network and looked at the situation to find out.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected helping hand—Charles Butler, the energy tycoon who once saved his life, jumped even higher than the scholars.
Charles Butler united dozens of tycoons in California, directly pressured Derby from the state government’s perspective, and gave Harrison Clark the last bit of strength.
Although Charles Butler was a businessman through and through, it could be seen from his willingness to remember the life-saving grace that Harrison Clark had done him that he was also a very visionary and insightful person.
That afternoon, Harrison Clark appeared in Charles Butler’s mansion in Beverly Hills.
Harrison Clark said to Charles Butler, who was still leaning on a crutch, “Thank you.”
The tycoon laughed, “No need to thank.”
They exchanged meaningful smiles..
