Chapter 68 - 67: Unintentionally Stirring the Mechanism of Heaven_1
Since the search for the cause leads back to the root, everything should start from what he did in Oxfordshire.
“In early 2020, genius music producer Harrison Clark wrote six timeless classics overnight at Homey Rose in Oxfordshire, shocking the world and creating a great sensation. Carrie Thomas, under the guidance of her mentor Harrison, experienced a burst of creativity and wrote ‘The Fire,’ from then on, her composition career skyrocketed, and she eventually became a master in her own right. Carrie Thomas only ever sang two songs written by others in her lifetime, which were ‘Boring’ and ‘A Dull Life,’ both composed by Harrison
Clark.”
The first sentence made Harrison grin from ear to ear.
Well, well, well, look at that.
Genius music producer.
Carrie Thomas’s mentor.
This time, he finally managed to gain fame and attention.
My name will indeed go down in history.
But how can I be so proud of myself?
Keep reading.
“That day in history is known as the day of the music miracle. If not for the abundant evidence, no one would believe that a burst of inspiration allowed one person to write six songs in a row, each a classic.”
“It is rumored that Harrison Clark was the first, and the only, person in human history with an instantaneous artistic IQ. over 300.”
“Regrettably, after the day of the music miracle, it seemed as if Harrison Clark had exhausted his talents, and he could no longer create.”
“Historians speculate that the burst of inspiration on that day might have exhausted his lifetime creativity. Moreover, Mr. Clark was an uncompromising person with high standards for himself. If his work could not satisfy him, he would rather not create, eventually leading to a lifetime of unproductiveness.”
Mr. Clark himself commented, “Historians really look up to me.”
My self-expectations are not that high, it’s just that I sold out everything I had copied for that moment, and I haven’t had time to continue copying.
“After that, Leah Clark, relying on the three songs purchased from Harrison Clark, secured her position as the queen of pop, only second to Came Thomas and Avril Green in their time. Ward Owen, the heir of the Whale Group, became the king of contemporary folk songs after Harrison Clark wrote three folk songs for him and held the position until he took over the family business after
his father’s death at age 40.”
At this point, Harrison had a vague idea of what was going on.
Keep going.
This time, he focused on the Whale Group company.
He did find a problem.
Chris Owen, the chairman of the Whale Group, originally planned to hand over the enterprise to his son, who had graduated from an Ivy League college, before Ward Owen turned 30, while he withdrew behind the scenes.
However, due to Ward Owen’s album, which was mainly composed of three folk songs, becoming a huge hit within just a few months, he easily earned over 100 million. He wasn’t willing to return to the Whale Group, and Chris Owen didn’t want to go back on his word.
After all, Ward Owen did make a name for himself in the music industry. In the end, Chris Owen had to stay in the position of CEO for over a decade. In those years, the billion-dollar company made rapid progress in both the market and research, achieving breakthroughs one after another, eventually growing its business beyond the too billion US dollar mark and becoming a global leader in materials and manufacturing.
The rapid growth of the Whale Group finally slowed down when Ward Owen took over.
Ward Owen was indeed a first-class talent; he lived up to his high self-esteem from being an Ivy League graduate. Within a few years, he made numerous blunders, dragging the Whale Group from a world-leading company back down to being among the top three domestically. He eventually resigned, and the company was handed over to professional managers, stopping the decline and gradually recovering over the next three to four decades.
All of this is thanks to the breakthroughs that Chris Owen made in material science during those extra years in power, which provided enough capital for the Whale Group to recover. Otherwise, it would probably have gone bankrupt like another century-old enterprise, Lehman Brothers.
Harrison Clark believed he was about to crack the case.
It seemed that the root of everything was Ward Owen’s nearly 200 pounds of fat.I swindled him out of six million and forcibly turned a talentless person into a king of folk music, which saved the Whale Group, leaving behind many legacies and greatly advancing the progress of material science.
The progress of this stage, after thousands of years of fermentation, has been like a sound amplifier, constantly snowballing and expanding its influence, ultimately creating another technological revolution for all mankind.
It must be so!
Harrison Clark couldn’t help himself for a long time.
He felt goosebumps all over himself.
Am… am I really that outstanding?
But one could also say that Mr. Owen was so useless, holding back his progress, it was as if he had a chance to fight for a technological revolution.
In the previous timeline, Harrison did not have such high access to information, and did not see the evolution of the Whale Group, but according to the final outcome of this timeline, as well as his own changes inWard Owen’s fate, he could roughly infer the conclusion.
Ward Owen still couldn’t make a name for himself in singing the next year, and then returned to the Whale Group on schedule, messing things up all the way, leading the Whale Group to decline rapidly, and also causing many innovative scientific research results that were brewing but did not ultimately take shape to die in the womb.
Without the foundation laid by the Whale Group’s research department in the early 21st century, human technological progress would have slowed down step by step, eventually leading to material science only reaching that level. Unknowingly, Mr. Owen became a sinner through the ages, and thinking about it makes him feel quite sad.
Harrison secretly wondered, Mr. Owen only seemed stupid on the surface, but in fact, he had quite some means, and should not be so unbearable.
Perhaps it could only be said that fate is making fun of people, Ward Owen’s ambition was not here, so he shouldn’t have been put in that wrong position. Harrison’s eyes rolled, and he wanted to continue digging deeper into the Whale Group’s research results at that time.
The summary of the information stated that it was a synthesis of several metal materials, processing technology, and formula combinations.
At that time, every year, the Whale Group invested billions to tens of billions of funds in research, and after several years of continuous burning, they finally achieved success.
If Harrison could now “predict the future” and directly obtain the complete formula and technical solution, wouldn’t he soar?
It might be difficult to remember the process, as he had never studied it before and might not be able to remember it, but he could force himself to remember the ratio of the alloy composition.
“Lucia, pull up all the major technological achievements of the Whale Group from 2020 to 2050.”
He instructed.
“Lance Corporal Harrison Clark, your access level is not sufficient to review detailed material science and energy science records.”
Harrison said helplessly: “What kind of access do I need?”
“Only full-time employees of Yellowstone Research Institute can access specific research project information.”
“What do I have to do to become an employee of the Yellowstone Research Institute? What’s the difference between it and the Ancient Civilization Research Institute?”
Lucia replied: “The Ancient Civilization Research Institute and Yellowstone Research Institute are both research units affiliated with the Ministry of Science and Technology. The Ancient Civilization Research Institute mainly engages in research on biology and medicine, while the Yellowstone Research Institute mainly engages in energy, material science, and manufacturing research.”
“According to my calculations, Lance Corporal Harrison Clark, your IQ_is 133.2333. You need to go through at least ten years, three months, seven days, three hours, five minutes, and forty-two seconds of learning basic knowledge so that you may pass the recruitment assessment of Yellowstone Research Institute and become an intern of its affiliated institutions.
“Is it really that precise?”
“Yes, it’s that precise.”
“Goodbye. By the way, call me Master from now on.”
“Alright, Master..”
